Transcript

Unbelievably, here we are yet again, latter half of the month of April. Before you know it, we're going to be heading into the summer, and then you know what that means, Christmas shopping. Hope you had a nice weekend. Weird weather weekend, it's a morning show with Preston Scott ninety and then yesterday it just started to tonight we're going to be down in the forties, just crazy weird. Anyway, great to be with you. Hope

you enjoyed your weekend. FSU Baseball didn't enjoy its weekend, boy oh boy. Well, anyway, we'll talk FSU with Irischaffelle. The spring showcase was Saturday for the football team. We'll get to all of that, plus the big stories in the press box, plus so much more. But we begin, as we always do, with some scripture Romans one twenty. I have referred to this scripture all the time. I there's a scientific reality that atheist agnostics just have to deal with, Where did all this come from? These

planets? And this one in particular positioned just right. Scripture accounts for it by saying for his invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made so that they and men women are without excuse. God's nature is revealed in God's nature. Look at a blade of grass, look at a flower. Man can't make it without the building blocks provided by God.

No matter what man tries to do, it still requires things that only God provided. It's amazing. Go God. Ten minutes after the hour, take a peek inside the American Patriots Almanac, and we will begin shout out to the men over there at Saint Peter's up early. Some of you listening, thanks for having me out yesterday. Enjoyed my visit with you. It's now show fifty one forty two of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston Scott, go ahead, make my day on News Radio one hundred point seven.

Tell the UFLA all right. Twelve minutes past April twenty second, eighteen sixty four, Congress authorizes the use of the phrase in God we trust on us coins. Eighteen seventy six, Baseball's National League begins its first season with the Boston Red Stockings defeating the Philadelphia Athletic sixty five. Yes the Oakland A's were the Philadelphia Athletics the same eighteen eighty nine, the Oklahoma land Rush begins,

with thousands of homesteaders hurrying the state claims on unassigned land. Eighteen ninety eight, in the first action of the Spanish American War, the USS Nashville captures the Spanish ship Buena Vista off Key West, Florida, and in nineteen seventy Earth Day is observed for the first time in our country. That was a mistake, I'm telling you now. I was in school. I remember

it, and I remember thinking, this is weird Earth Day. Well, for sure, get some sandals and some tight I shirts and like, wow, you know, sitting the earth now if you want to if you want to b asking God's creation, cool, If you want to respect and display great stewardship for what God has made, absolutely sign me up. But worshiping Earth as a deity, and that's kind of what Earth Days has evolved into. That's this whole climate thing. It's all about. Just anyways, silliness.

I got a couple PSAs here. One a little more fun than the other, but the other is very useful in its operation. Medical cabinet here in Tallahassee. It's coming up this Saturday from ten until two at the Costco on Lannyap which is on the east side of town. They will not accept Sharp's medical waste thermometers, but they will accept all of your unused, unneeded medications. It prevents it from ending up in the water table and being processed

in waters. It's kind of important. And so if you have any medicine and again not Sharp's medical waste or thermometers, but if you have prescription medicines that are defunct, they're old, or you've just come across stuff in the drawer and you're like, I don't even remember what this is for it, take it and get rid of it safely. All right. That's this Saturday, and just we'll talk more about this might get somebody from fish and wildlife.

But coming up May seventeenth and eighteenth, it'll be here before you know it, the tenth annual Lionfish Festival in the destined Fort Walton Beach area. And so if you are into spearfishing, this is your thing, because this is all about an invasive species that is dominating reefs and off Florida's coast and they've got a lot of different categories. We'll talk about that again a little

bit more later on, but it's May seventeenth and eighteenth. There's a week of special dining at restaurants featuring lionfish, which, oh, by the way, is an incredible fish. I'm told fish lovers are saying that lionfish is an amazing tasting fish. I've never tried it. I'd certainly be gaining too. But this spearfishing event is part of a larger deal, so again, fish and wildlife. You can look it up real quickly. The website is

Emeraldcoastopen dot com. Emeraldcoast Open dot com. Sixteen passed the hour back with more as we get started here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Nelly Nellie corda American golfer. Her dad former highly ranked professional tennis player. I think her mom as well. She has a younger brother, maybe older brother. Younger brother who's a very good men's tennis player, Sebastian. Nelly's sister, expecting her first child, is not Jessica is not playing on the tour

right now. Nelly, the gold medalist, returning, probably most likely to defend her gold medal in Tokyo this summer. Battled injuries the last couple of years and has now gotten past those injuries. I'd say she won her fifth straight tournament yesterday, winning the Chevron Championship, which is the first major of the Ladies Professional Tour. So a boy, not some context here. She joins Nancy Lopez and Anika Sorenstam as the only players to win five in a

row. She's I don't know if she's playing next week. I don't know what the schedule is, but the next tournament she's in, she'll be trying to do something that's never been done in women's golf to my knowledge, not even in the era of the great Mickey Wright. Wow. Just impressive and oh, by the way, Heading into the finale the final three holes of today's round in the Men's Tournament at Hilton Head at Harbortown, Scotty Scheffler has

a five shot lead. I don't know what to say. Out of his last five tournaments, the only tournament he lost, he came in second when he misread a five foot putt to send it the playoff. He's the first guy to win after winning the Masters since Bernard Longer in eighty six. Maybe I've invited somebody from Golf Died Golf magazine to come on the show to talk about why he believes Scottie Scheffler's too boring for TV and hurting golf ratings.

I'm not buying it. I think media is hurting golf ratings with how they're writing it. But I think golf is its own worst enemy right now. But I just I just want to step back and Marvel Scheffler hit a played a par five yesterday. Hit his second shot in the water. Mud was on the ball and it just nose dived left into the water, so he

dropped. So he's two in three out hits four. This towering shot over the trees, over the water, hits a hook that has hook spin, puts it ten feet from the hole, makes the putt after hitting it in the water. It's like, you gotta be kidding me. And it was in near pitch black darkness when he did it. I mean, I just if you love the game of golf, you're watching something that has not been seen since Tiger Woods, a level of dominance that is even surpassing Tiger in

certain categories. Anyway, came across this story working on a home's curb appeal. A landscaper was digging a shrub next to a home and came across something a Civil War era cannonball. They called the Virginia State Police bomb technicians because they were worried that it was still active. And I'm trying to were there such things as exploding bombs back then? I mean, I guess, I don't know. I mean, you fired the thing out of a cannon.

I thought the weapon was the cannon ball. I didn't know that the cannon ball was explosive per se. That's my lack of understanding of early, you know, war projectiles. I just I assumed it was just a giant iron ball, but I guess not so. I don't know what the disposition of it was, but I just could you imagine you're digging around and you're finding something like that. My first inclination would be due pick it up, but it's like, oh no, no, no, no, those things could

be literally live ordinance. Okay, twenty seven after the hour, let's go into the big stories in the press box, and you might want to be sitting down. Preston Scott, Why Your God? At the time on News Radio one, hundred point seven double USLA. Well, hi, what shall we talk about thirty five minutes past Morning Show with Preston Scott. That's Grant. I'm Preston. Big Story is brought to you by Grower Creative Marketing and

digital Expertise. When I read what passed the House, I'm I'm I'm excited that congress Woman kat Camick's going to join us because I'm going to give her a chance to explain her view of all of the different votes. It was a mismash of nonsense. They voted on individual aid bills in the House and then they threw it all together. They gave money to Ukraine, They gave

money to Israel, Gaza and the Indo Pacific. They adopted the TikTok bills company that the parent company has to sever ties with the Communist government or cease operations in the US. They passed all of that, and then they threw it all together one and handed it to the Senate as one bill and it passed. This is the fifth time Congress has approved funding to help Ukraine.

However, the vote Saturday was the first one under Republican quote leadership. So we're sending sixty billion dollars more to Ukraine at a time when you're struggling paying your gas bill, your groceries, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now I've got it. I'm Democrats were waiving Ukrainian flags in the House chamber, gleefully. Now more Republicans voted against it, but not enough.

About one hundred and sum odd voted against it, but not enough. Oh did you notice what was missing from all of that money that we don't have that we're gonna borrow? And get your head around that for a second. It's like me saying to Grant, I'm gonna lend him fifty bucks, but I gotta go borrow it from somebody to lend it to him. What See, when you personalize it like that, you begin to maybe better grasp the weightiness of this. But did you notice what's missing? Nothing for the border,

Nothing for the southern border. How is it possible, boy, that Mike Johnson's a shrewd negotiator. I had such high hopes, such high hopes, they have been dashed. Biden adds more protections for the trans class in Title nine. I don't know how he can just add it, change it We'll see where this goes. And Polly and Florida. Late last week, Florida Atlantic found less than fifty percent support for not just the abortion amendment, but for weed, which is interesting. According to the Sun Sentinel, the

Jalen Candelario abortion amendment is lacking some steam. We need to keep it that way anyway. Forty minutes after the hour, come back with weighty stuff Preston Show with Morning sk not what blog page. Have a hearty laugh while we can at robots, because soon they'll be taking over the world, peeling skin off of us for laughs. What are these humans are? I don't know. It's actually it's a it's a cute video from Boston Dynamics about Atlas.

I've been following Boston Dynamics for years and posting just every now and then updates on their their robotic technology. And Atlas was like their guy, uh that they were teaching to run and and and do all kinds of different tasks, but mostly lifting packages and so forth. And and it's just a it's a three minute video that just shows the time span and the developments and some of

it's just really funny hum. And they retired Atlas, and they have a new a new one out, a new atlas and uh and I've got a short teaser clip on that as well. So that's all on the blog page as well as Climate the movie. It's still available, so so check it out now. Grant flagged this thing because I know how much you love food stories and food related the developments and mergers and splits and ooh did you see this collabs? Yes, exactly, because that's that's what we say now right.

It's a collap Yeah, it's not renovation, it's reno. It's a collab. There are other words like that that we've just sort of convo convo, m h whatever. What was it that that drew you to this story? Or are you a Crocs guy? Or are you a Pringles guy? Yes, we're going to come. Yeah, I have a pair of crocs. Do you wear around the house? Do you? Yeah? It's just the ones that like if I take the garbage out, Okay, you're just slipping them, just slipping them on. Yeah, yeah, that's it.

That's all I use them for is just quick run outside sometimes run around the house. What would you be caught in public wearing them? I mean I have worn them in public before, Like, if I like, oh, car needs a quick you know, top off with some gas, I'll run up to the corner real quick and get some gas. So I just throw my crocs on hotge car, Okay, wearing T shirt and shorts whatever, that's it. Yeah, see for me. And then I'm not judging. I'm just I'm not. Yeah. No, I no, no, no

no, no, I just I can't. I can't super comfy. I get it. I just can't do crocks. I'm I'm surprised at how they stay on people's feet. Oh that's when you go into four by four mode. You gotta they've got little straps that you can wear them that you flip around and put them on the back. Yeah, that's all wheel drive mode, right, And I get that. And how many people I feel like there's a ton of people that don't know that that that strap moves over to the back, don't you. I don't know. Maybe, I mean I

just kind of assumed. I'm I just there's something in me that says so anyway he sends me this post. Pringles has teamed up with Crocs for an ankle holster for your potato chips and lo and behold I found a good story there. Croc boots, Oh yeah, you've seen those with a holster that you slide your your Pringles chip can in and it's it's labeled with the Pringles

logo on the side. And and so Pringles has has not just released the Pringles X crocs, which is Kringles times crocs, They've also included a one hundred dollars boot in both men's and women's and a limited addition croc Tail Party Pringles chip which is watermelon chili lime. WHOA, that's wild. No, that's gross. Now I know some of that. They've got the whole line of Pringles where they've got like crocs that have Pringles on them, not the

chip itself, but designs and colors and different things branded Pringles crocs. Yeah, with the mustachioed Pringle's chip logo on it. There's a whole niche market there is among I said the younger kids. It's like parents listening may know more of this than I do. I don't know too much, but I've seen like you can get little added little pins, like you know how you go to a game and you can get like a pin for your hat. Sure, something like that. And it goes in the air vent holes kind

of thing. Same thing for Crocs. There's all different kinds of accessories. How do you put your foot into it? Yeah, that's what I don't know. I'm like, doesn't that impede your foot if you've got all these little you know, do hickeys attached to your crocs? But this is the next development Pringles Holsters. Here's all I must say. Well done, man, I mean they're sold out. The holsters are gone, the Holster crocs are gone. Good luck and Crocs as a brand has managed to make itself

cool by doing in this collab with with Pringles. I don't know how. I don't know why. I mean who thought of that? I mean someone sitting down in their design, their their brainstorming session. Is it somebody's sitting around I love imagining this is someone sitting there just munching on some pringles and someone's there go and they put like their their feet up on the desk as they're just brainstorming and they're munching on some pringles and someone goes, you know

what we need, right? We need these attached to our ankles or with someone doing one of those Aaron Rodgers things and doing hallucinogenic mushrooms or something. Anything's possible. I don't know, but it's a thing. Maybe they'll make more and you can find them for Christmas next year for somebody. But the Pringles Holster crocs are there for you. Just saying I got nothing. Fifty two passed. I found this story interesting because I had Sidney Powell on this

radio program. Do you remember her? Yeah, she was the one who was during the whole twenty twenty kerfluffle, particularly about the election, not the Summer of Love, but about the election. She was the release of the Kraken Lady, if I remember correctly. She was file in lawsuits she asserted and believed that that there was cheating. Sidney was one of the most prominent attorneys to file lawsuits alleging that there was enough fraud in the twenty twenty election

in battleground states that swung it in favor of Joe Biden. A federal judge in Detroit sanctioned her and other lawyers in twenty twenty one over the lawsuits. The sixth US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld those sanctions. Sadly, the US Supreme Court would not listen to the case, and that just blew my mind. So she did what she felt like she needed to do. She pled guilty in Georgia in twenty twenty three, took a plea deal. Under the terms of the plea deal, get this, she had to write an

apology. The district attorney, Fanny Willis, who presented charges to a grand jury, said the letters needed to be to include real contrition, like who yeah, I just gotta stop. I gotta stop there. Here's what's interesting. As a result of all of this, the Texas Bar Association tried to get her disbarred. The Fifth District Court of Appeals in Texas dismissed the bar's

accusations against her. The bar employed quoting from the ruling. The bar employed a scattershot approach to the case, which left this court and the trial court with the task of sorting through the argument to determine what issue had actually been raised. Having done so, the absence of competence summary judgment compels our conclusion

the bar failed to meet at summary judgment burden. Previously, a separate court sided with Miss Powell, finding defects in the evidence presented by the state Bar for the Texas Commission on Lawyer Discipline. Court also found the bar couldn't provide evidence that she filed frivolous lawsuits under these circumstances. And on this record, we conclude the trial court did not air in granting Pile's no evidence motion for

summary judgment. In other words, these two courts found that Sidney Powell had reason to file her lawsuits. I just think that's an interesting little sidebar to this story. We'll switch to our two next a five minutes after the hour. It is Monday Morning Show with Prestin's got great to be with you. That's Grant Allen. I'm Preston. I hope you had a nice weekend. It cooled down a little bit. Does it bother me in the slightest.

I am just fine with a little more spring weather before we lock it down for the summer and get into the heat and humidity for the rest of the year. But welcome to our number two. Doctor Joe expected to join us in just a little while, about a half hour from now, maybe a little bit more. But first to sort of back onto the discussion on Sydney Powell, let me remind you that we have hundreds of January fourth, political

prisoners that could use some encouragement. And there is a project set up, the Patriot Mail Project, And if you you just go to patriotmail project dot com, a lot of you are like, well, what can I do? There are lots of things you can do. You start by going to the site and finding some people to send letters of encouragement to. Yesterday I had a chat with a group of men and I diagnosed the problem in America

is I mean, a lot of it is just sin. You know, we elect people that represent us, and they're representing us, right, I mean, if you look at it. I made this statement back a few months ago. I've come to the conclusion that the the real sincere churches out there are representative by percentage of the number of really sincere believers that are really trying their best to walk out their faith. Not perfect, none of us are. We all fall short those that say they are versus those that really

are really trying. Not the But Lord, I did this, and I did this, and I did this, and I did this, and Jesus is going to say, I don't know you. You were performing rituals. You don't know me, and I don't know you. You know of me, but you don't know me. And I am of the opinion that we elect people that represent us, and so out of those that are elected, the people that are really trying to do the right thing are so few in

number. It's tough. It's tough to do it. I mean, the story, one of the big stories in the press box, just demonstrates how brutally tough it is. But I wanted to just make sure that it was on your radar that there are still hundreds that are falsely imprisoned. They just are to be honest with you. Based on the video that I've watched and what I know about what happened January sixth, I think the worst that most of these people should face is about a fifty dollars fine. That's about it.

Misdemeanor. I mean, what do you do if a Capitol police officer opens a door to you and says come on in. Anyway, I've got an interesting survey here, and it it's sort of dovetails off of what we were just talking about where we are the state of our country, And it's a Gallup survey that found that for over a decade, one variable has consistently

predicted whether people describe themselves as thriving. So before we take a quick check of weather in traffic, let me just ask you to think about what do you think that is? What is the one thing that that is the common denominator in people that believe that they are as a person thriving according to Gallup for better than a decade. Now, that's next, Preston Scott on News

Radio one point seven UFLA. What do you think it is? What is the one thing that over a decade now has shown the people that take this survey have circled in on as the one common link to thriving quote thriving people. And I would say that they Gallop classified people into one of three groups thriving, struggling, or suffering, and it was based on raiding their home lives and their likelihood of future happiness happiness in general. What do you think

it is? There's so many answers that I think I could justify in my head. Probably that may have some backing, probably, but the one overarching I guess it's the most potentially common answer, and that's just financial independence, financial longevity. Money, People feel comfortable with money. It's it's just the reality. I guess maybe that's my guess. Marriage. Really, marriage isn't that interesting, that's refreshing. I didn't. I didn't see that one coming.

Now did you know exactly? The surveying data was compiled over fourteen years. Gallup found that married couples consistently rated their current lives and their likelihood of future happiness better than those who lived outside of marriage or had a committed relationship without living together. Happiness differential ran into double digits inside the survey, It says this, Within the US, it is clear that married adults rate their

lives more highly than others that have done so. For the past fifteen years. From two thousand and nine to twenty twenty three, married adults aged twenty five to fifty were more likely to be thriving by double digit margins than adults who have never married. The sixteen percentage point gap between married adults sixty one percent and those who have never married forty five percent is within the range of ten to twenty four points. Why do you think that is? It is

not good for man to be alone? Score one up for the Good Book. Lawfully wedded husbands and wives also experienced greater closeness with their children. Eighty three percent of married couples with children between the ages of three and nineteen say they have a strong and loving relationship with their kids, compared to sixty nine percent of domestic partnerships and sixty one percent of non domestic exclusive relationship. Whatever

that means. Mary Jones also linked to another predicator of happiness having children. So there you go. It's it's interesting because all of these little things circle back to you know, Grant was just kind of making it a point in passing about score one for the Good Book. In almost every area of life, God's values, God's way is proven, proven to be what works. It's it's kind of crazy, you know. We we always we talk about science, science, you know, settled science on all manner of things,

and science. Data crunching, number crunching always points back to you know, if you just do kind of what God says. Ted Copple famously said when Moses came down from Sinai, he didn't come down with ten suggestions, and his address at Duke University suggested at a commencement that if you actually followed the ten commandments, you would stake yourself out to have a pretty good life.

Crazy, Huh, the recipe for success still found inside God's word. Maybe it's a faulty memory, but I can't remember the United States Supreme Court issuing so many rulings before the sessions ended. Normally, Remember how we always get these unbelievably important cases being ruled upon, and you get the ruling in June before the court recesses for a period of time. We're seeing cases turned away

that I'm just shocked that they're saying no to without reason. I feel like the court does itself a disservice by not saying why something was turned away. You know, this court, this case was turned away because we don't believe that this case presents a broad enough issue for this court to decide, or don't believe that this has that the litigants have standing, or whatever it might

be. Give us something to understand why you said no. However, there are two rulings that happened here that could have profound impact on millions of Americans at different levels, and they're interesting because they're not getting much publicity. One, and I've been kind of following this. It was the case of a homeowner named George Sheets. He purchased a vacant lot in twenty sixteen. The idea was to put a small manufactured home on it and his wife were He

and his wife were going to at some point retire there. That was going to be their home. Eldorado County in California wanted him to pay a trafficked impact fee of twenty three thousand, four hundred and twenty dollars. Impact fees are what are charge developers for the impact. I put quotes around that. You couldn't see that on the radio, the impact of that development on roads and infrastructure. All right, how this affects of retired couple driving in and

out of their home to the extent that they and so he sued. He said, I'm not paying that. The United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that California's Eldorado County violated the landowner rights when it demanded the impact fees. The ruling really hits at the power of local governments to force property owners to pay development fees. It's one of a series of court rulings in recent years that

strengthen individual private property rights. So first that was fascinating. He won, and he not only won, he won a unanimous Supreme Court decision that's that's crazy. But there was another nine zero ruling that has even broader impact. Muldrow versus the City of Saint Louis, female police officer alleged she was transferred

from one department to another because of her sex. She argued it transfer it violated Title seven of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids race, color, religion, sex, or national organ origin discrimination with respect to employment, compensation terms, conditions, or privileges. She lost in the lower court because the court said that it didn't cause her significant harm, didn't result in a diminuation of title salary benefits, only one change, minor change was her working conditions.

A unanimous Supreme Court where they all signed on to Elena Kagan's ruling, her writing for the court, it doesn't matter whether there was significant or insignificant for it to satisfy Title seven abuses. The takeaway is that she can sue, and so do a lot of people. A lot of people can sue, not just over sex discrimination or transfers. It applies to all compensation terms,

conditions, privileges of employment. If you've been fired, transferred, denied, a bonus, forced to attend or excluded from a training program, mentor program retreat on the basis of your race, sex, or religion. You can sue and you don't have to prove you suffered any significant harm. WHOA, that's huge, that's huge, And that again it was nine to nothing. Speaks to the abuse. You wonder where this is gonna go. That's

just remember this case muldro versus City of Saint Louis. I am betting that this is gonna show back up real soon in litigation across the country because people have been getting jammed for years. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott, hi Rischafell. Next hour from more chan dot com, catch up with FSU

football. Talk a little bit about the stadium, hearing some grumbling from season ticket holders that are no more and as FSU tries to improve its facilities, hearing from other people saying they're really grateful for the improvements in the in the seating that will take place. It's a mixed bag. Also talk a little bit about FSU basketball baseball with Ira who follows FSU athletics. Again for war Chant, where's the managing editor? Big stories in the press box brought to

you by Grove of creative marketing and digital expertise. Republican opposition to Ukraine funding is doubled in two years. Sixty billion, though was approved Saturday, the vote three eleven to one twelve. All Democrats supported it. All one hundred and twelve voting against it were Republicans, which means one hundred and one Republicans voted for more money going to Ukraine. They believe that it's it's vitally important to keep Vladimir Putin at bay? Who else is paying? Do you know

of any other nations that are painting? Is the UK? Like in France? Are they doing stuff? I feel like they would be. But NATO nations, where are you? I'm and maybe they are. I don't know, but you know, it's nowhere near what we're doing now, that's nowhere near. It's got to be not only sixty point eight billion to Ukraine. Separate bills approved twenty six to Israel, twenty six billion Indo Pacific and the twenty first Century Piece through Strength Act got eight point one billion, sorry Indo

Pacific eight point one The Strength through Peace Act. It would impose sanctions on China, Iran and Russia. They adopted a measure requiring TikTok's parent company to sever ties with the commedies in China or cease operations in the US. So this ended up getting bundled together as one package and it was passed. It

was passed. Heritage President Kevin Roberts, Doctor Kevin Roberts said Ukraine's Minister of Defense was fired for questions around military graft billions in USA to float economic aid rather than lethal weapons. More importantly than as now, Biden has presented no coherent strategy or plan for victory or peace in Ukraine, and so the American people are funding this. Now we get to the Senate. Mike Lee, US senator from Utah said, ninety five billion doesn't have to pass. It

only takes forty one senators to stop it. There are forty nine Republicans more than enough. Where do your senators stand? What do you think will the Senate Republicans have the courage that the House Republicans didn't have. Oh, by the way, did you notice what was missing? And all that funding not a single red literally read sent for our southern border. You could have a

good hearty debate on sending money to Israel Gaza, Ukraine. If we're fully funding stopping what's going on at the border, you could debate the merits of that, but there is no debating this when nothing's being done on our southern border. Mike Johnson failed. Republicans that voted for this entirety without getting anything for the southern border failed. And tomorrow is going to be an interesting chat with Kat Camick she scheduled to join us. I believe she voted against the

Ukrainian bill, but I believe she voted for the entire package. Neil Dunn voted for all of it across the board. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I got nothing. I'm sorry I got Doctor Joe camp standing by. Next find more on his vlogu w u f l a FM dot com keyword preston Well he was standing by. Get back to more big stories in the press Box, brought to you by Grove, a creative marketing and digital expertise. When when that bill passed to fund the Ukraine war to

the tune of another sixty billion dollars, Democrats were waving Ukrainian flags? What the heck to be? Start calling Congress like occupied Capitol Hill. Maybe because they're beholden to seemingly every other global interest except ours. Yes, they'll proudly fly every other nation's flag and fund every other nation's issue, including flags from things that aren't nations. Right, and what do we get who advocates for Americans? Who advocates for us? Nobody? Seemingly much of the Republican Party

doesn't even do that, So what's what right? Yeah, Congressman Clay Higgins, all Democrats waving Ukrainian flags on your house floor when a bill passed sending another sixty billion of your treasure to fund the war machine, one deficit, money borrowed on the backs of your kids. Wake up America, Lauren Bobert, such an embarrassing and disgusting show of America. America last politicians, you love Ukraine so much, get your bleep, she spelled it out over there,

and leave America's governing to those who love this country. She went on to say, our country deserves so much more than just to be the world's ATM. I don't see other countries lining up to send up cash. Who takes care of America We're borrowing from money, money from China to give to the rest of the world. Is foreign aid. What in the world. And then there's this polling here in Florida released by the Sunset in the late

last week. A poll by Florida Atlantic University. Less than fifty percent support the passage of the marijuana legalization as well as the abortion amendment. It's interesting. Here's what's significant about the abortion one amendment. Four forty nine percent of those surveyed supported nineteen of pose. Thirty two percent are undecided. That is

a massively large number. So it is very important that the truth of the amendment gets out there, fact fact fact, And if you don't believe me, you make sure to go read the amendment before you say that I'm being dishonest. I'll have no tolerance for that. You write me and say I'm not being honest. I'm reading your email, I'm reading your name, and

I'm reading your email address. I'm gonna put it out public if you tell me without reading that amendment, because the amendment does not say there is any limitation on abortion. In fact, the amendment says there can be no laws limiting it. So these polling questions that are going out in many quarters, not all, but USA today slash Gennett slash tallasse Democrat Slash the newspaper in

Panama City Gannett. It asked the question deceptively. It said, do you support or oppose an abortion amendment that puts a twenty four week There is no twenty four week limit. Twenty four weeks? What the heck are they talking about? Doesn't exist. This is limitless, no restrictions on abortion amendment. And friends, you need to be out there messaging on this. You desperately need to be out there, and now, not in the summer. Now this is the this is the lesson on a chic memory. You need to

remind people there are there's ambiguity throughout its complications. It's going to be litigated endlessly. It's wrong. It's just flat wrong. Shouldn't be on the ballot. Supreme Court of the State of Florida, let us down. Thanks fellas. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's Monday, boy, It's Monday, fifty one minutes after the hour of the Morning Show. Hopefully Irish Chafelle will join us next hour. We're batting zero for two. I've

got two stories on job numbers. One from CNBC. Something strange has been happening with jobless claim numbers lately, CNBC. The subplot points here. Most of the past several weeks have shown that first time claims for unemployment benefits haven't fluctuated all, as in zero string of weekly reports showing exactly two hundred and twelve thousand initial claims. As starting to raise a few eyebrows on Wall Street. Labor Department spokesman noted that while the string is oncommon, it can be

attributed to a consistent jobs picture reflected in seasonal adjustments to the data. I'm calling bull hockey on that one. Now we come to the second article. How is it possible that initial jobless claims have been exactly the same for five of the past six weeks. It's not statistically possible. Jim Bianco had of Bianco Research first to call attention to it. How is this statistically possible? Initial claims for unemployment insurance or state programs with fifty state rules, hundreds of

offices, fifty websites to file. He's right, something's not right. And so we get to a deeper look and more data, and if all the layoffs that we've been reading about that companies have been issuing, how is it that they're not even making one a change of one thousand in the jobless claims, Bureau of Labor says, actually unemployment went down. Now we get to the numbers. Either you were classified as unemployed according to labor statistics or not

in the labor force. According to the most recent numbers from the Bureau of Labor, six point four million Americans are considered to be officially unemployed, but another ninety nine point nine million are considered not in the labor force. When you add that together, one hundred and six US adults don't have a job one hundred and six million. During the Great Recession of two thousand and eight two thousand and nine, the figure never reached ninety we're at one hundred and

six. But we had a horrifying crisis in two thousand and eight, in two thousand and nine. Today everything's just fine. We're being gas lit again, we're thirty four trillion dollars in debt, and the actual unemployment number is one hundred and seven million, not six point four million. That starts to make things make more sense, doesn't it. And what's Bureau doing? They're just trotting out the exact same employment number week after week after the exact.

That's just that's nuts. We are we are, we are in we are in waters that are that are really difficult to navigate, murky, dark, scary, awful. And those are two stories saying the same thing, only one says it with a little more depth and clarity. We come back change gears. Are gonna talk a little FSU sports f s U football in particular. Then we're gonna branch out, talk a little bit about what the future is for FSU basketball. They lost a ton of players, and then baseball

having a great season, but the bullpen, oh my goodness. All right. Five minutes after the hour, it is the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty one's Grant Allen. I'm Preston, great to be with you. Let's get to it. Joining us is the managing editor of war chant dot com. He is the one the only Irish Offel. Good morning, sir, how are you? I'm great, Preston, how are you? I'm terrific. Now, for those of us that were not

at the FSU Spring showcase, tell us what was this? What was the format for the event. It was basically like a scrimmage. You know, they didn't keep score. It was some situational things like they did a couple of series, maybe they're down inside the red zone or backed up on their own side of the field or but a lot of it was just basically one offense would take the ball, go as far as they could, then punt if they didn't get you know, if they couldn't score, then the other

team would. The other side would get the ball, and basically the two sides were led by Mombas juy Ungoley, who's you know, should be the starting offense, but sometimes he was out there with the twos. Trevor Jackson is the only other quarterback available because the two young kids were dealing with minor injuries, so he would take the other offense, and he was sometimes with the twos, sometimes with the threes. So it was kind of a mix and match. It was more like a practice than a real game. Do

you like that. I've not really found a whole lot of reason to look at something like that. Yeah, I mean it's really more of for your diehard fans or somebody that's just hey, I want to be out there, I want to go see my friends. We haven't tailgated in a few months, so this is the opportune I'll get together and have a good time, or the die hard and who just desperately want to see what this new Jalen

Lucas looks like, or what does Marvin Jones Junior look like? But in terms of yeah, competition and a compelling sporting event, it's not that I don't love it. I miss the old days, But I also understand coaches look at it like in this process oriented coaching world where they've got, you know, the standards they've got to hit, they want to take that advantage of that practice more so than seeing you know, maybe you know what fans

want to see. You know, it can be argued Mike Norvel has done the best job of any college coach of navigating the transfer portal and the recruiting wars, and you know, you're recruiting your own team every year. It would seem in to your eye, test Ira, what did Saturday show you again? Because you know, Mike Dorvel does allow the media to cover practices.

There weren't a lot of surprises for us. But the challenge for us in the media is to try to you know, understand that you know, the fans haven't seen all these practices, so you try to put some context into things. Uh. DJ didn't look great on Saturday. He hasn't looked like all American this spring, but but I think he's looked better than he looked Saturday at times. Uh, there weren't a lot of things open.

I thought the pass rush was pretty good. The defensive secondary, I mean honest with you, sometimes I wonder if you know you hear about it in practice where the defense knows what plays are coming because they've seen it so much. I felt like there was some of that. There were a couple of plays where maybe they were in a screen and you would see a linebacker trigger or a safety go immediately to that spot before the before the ball was even

snapped. In cases where maybe a defensive end keels off and goes gets into a zone, you know, And again maybe that's just good coaching and great playing and great recognition, but I feel like there was some of that also where the defense kind of felt it felt like the defense knew what was coming. So DJ definitely didn't blow anybody away by his before, but I would say that over the last two weeks, I thought he's looked very, very

good in practice. He's been accurate, He's made really good throws. They made a lot of big plays in the passing game, so that that was disappointing that fans didn't get to see that, because this is the only time they've really seen him until you know, we go to Dublin in four months. So defensively was what I expected. I mean, this is a this is going to be a big, strong, athletic defense. I think they're

gonna that's going to be the strength of this team. And truthfully, in the second half of last season, that was the strength of this team. And now a lot of new faces. They brought in some new portal guys. But I really like this defense, and I think the offense is may be better than it looked on Saturday. Before we take a break, Ira, the second portal is open. Any expectations, any needs that you think

that the coaches are going to go after. I think there's definitely a couple of needs, and then after that it'll be basically if a great player is available and is interested and they can make it happen, I think they will. I think an obvious need is a defensive on the de defensive line. They and it's not a need where they don't have good players. They just

need a little bit more depth on the defensive line. So I could definitely see them going maybe get defensive tackle or an end and then you move one of them. They have a big defensive end that they can move inside the defensive tackle, so I think a really good defensive lineman would help them. I also think a receiver. Going into the spring game, I thought they a spring showcase. I thought they probably needed another receiver. A Malik Benson,

who is their best receiver, got injured in that game. We don't know the extent of it, so I think, yeah, there's definitely a need to probably go get a receiver. And then after that, I think it's you know, if they found a great linebacker, if they found a great safety, I think those are or maybe even a tight end. I think those are positions they would consider. But to me, the big needs

are defensive line and receiver. It's funny how all of a sudden, with the transfer portal, we're talking about college football teams like they're in NFL franchise. It's crazy. Ten minutes after the hour more with that Rashappelowarchan dot Com Coming up, Preston Scott, I got bad Thought My News Radio one hundred point seven Double USLA back with Irishafel of war chand dot Com Ira. I have heard from some FSU season ticket holders they love the perspective of the improvements

coming to Doke Campbell Stadium. I've heard from others that are really really unhappy that they in essence, had their seats ripped out from under them. What is your sense on the stadium improvements? Certainly some things were needed, but your thoughts, Yeah, No, I think it's you summed up perfectly.

I think there are definitely some people who are furious, even you know, the people that have had the same tickets in their family for decades and they don't want to move, and they don't want to be separated from their friends, and they don't want to be forced to move because the price has gotten higher for their location. But then I also talk to plenty of people who are like, thank goodness, I'm tired of sitting on a metal bleacher, I'm tired of not having Wi Fi. I'm tired of not being able to

get decent concessions or whatever it is. They want to be more comfortable. So I think it's definitely what experience you're looking for. And then I think Florida State, like you said, they had to make some improvements. The stadium was not ada compliant. They had a lot of structural issues. They had to do something about some of those things. And I think the way to pay for it is to kind of go with this more modern approach where

they're more comfortable seats, people have a better experience. At the same time, you know, I look at it from a pragmatic standpoint of They're taking out a two hundred and fifty million dollars bond to pay this off, and I wonder, you know what if the team doesn't do well over three or four years. Now, those are big ticket seats that are sitting open and unsold. That's my bigger concern. But you know, I'm not sitting in the stands or you know, I'm blessed. I sit in the press box.

Preston to tell me about what is going to be ready come fall. What seating is going to be available. Yeah, it's gonna be so that one half of the stadium, basically the student side, which is the sunny side, is basically going untouched, so you know, those all be there, and then they're gonna put I heard I think the number seven thousand. There's a number of temporary seats, several thousand temporary seats that are going to be on the old shady side, the alumni side, and so the capacity

of the stadium is going to be somewhere in the fifty thousands. I heard fifty five thousands the number I've heard most recently, so as opposed to eighty thousand seats or seventy eight thousand, you're gonna be down to fifty five thousand this season, and then in twenty twenty five they'll be back to a bigger, full stadium. It will be totally renovated. But even then it's gonna be around seventy thousand. I believe it's it's never going to go back to

the eighty thousand seats of yesteryear. So they hope to have the entire renovation project done by the seat the twenty twenty five start of the season. That's correct, and a lot of im mature contractors that I've talked to saw the stadium on Saturday and wonder if that's gonna happen. But we'll see that's the play of you this Before we take a break here real quickly, just because I want to take a little time talking FSU basketball with you. What are

your impressions on baseball? It looks like link Jarrett has turned a significant corner in a very short period of time. Now, if you can just find a bullpen, well, yeah, unfortunately you can't do free agency during the season in college baseball yet because yeah, that's been a problem. Look, they had two huge road series so far. They've they've want the bullpens come through in some games in certain situations, particularly at home, even though it's

a good competition. But you know, they went to Clemson, the bullpen collapse in a couple of games, they lost all three and then Wake Forest they had a chance they could have, you know, easily won that series, and the bullpen betrayed him again. And I just think it is what it is, you know. Now, one thing that really hurt them more than usual this past weekend, Well I think could get better is they do think Cam Lighter, who was their opening day starter, has missed the last

few weeks with maybe some tenderness in his arm. He's supposed to be getting back really soon. They also make another picture Ben Barrett back soon, So that would lengthen out your arms, you know, in earlier in the series, and so that that could definitely help them once you get into regionals and things like that. Yeah, it's clear to me that in a three game series we need six starters. But they can really hit Preston, they can really hit. Yeah, there you go. Hang on a second, Ira,

We're gonna talk FSU basketball. We come back. Irish, a Fellowarchan dot Com final segment with Irishafel of war Chan dot Com talked a little bit about FSU baseball. There link Jared's done a wonderful job in turning that program around. But now that's a task facing Leonard Hamilton with the basketball program. He had it going on and then COVID hit Ira and then the real landscape of college athletics changed. Is it that coach Hamilton and the staff just haven't

quite gotten their footing yet on the new landscape or what's gone south? I know they're not the only team that has lost everybody. I mean, Duke has turned into a turnstile program all of a sudden. What should our expectations be as fans. Who I mean, honestly, I love coach Hamilton. He's a delightful man. Yeah, you know, it's impossible to know what the roster is going to look like. They are going to it's going to

look completely different. When Jalen Worley went in the transfer portal last week, their point guard. That's the sixth player that's gone in the transfer portal, and they had four other guys who we think have exhausted their eligibility. Maybe one of them could still come back for another year, but you're looking at least ten new players for next season. And it wasn't a very good team last season. So on the one hand, you can say, well,

at least at least we're not going to watch those guys again. But I think from a big picture standpoint, But from a from a big picture standpoint, you don't know how well positioned they are to go get another talent and roster. And that's the problem. You know, there's so much that goes into that nowadays, beyond just coaching relationships. The strength for Leonard Hamilton throughout his career, especially the last twenty years, was his relationships. He had

been in the business for fifty years. If there was a player that he heard about in Topeka, Kansas or Shyamne, Wyoming, it didn't matter where. I guarantee Leonard Hamilton knew somebody that knew that kid, and he could get on the phone with them within three minutes and build a relationship. And he was so good at that. But now in the nil landscape where these kids, so much of these conversations start with how much am I gonna make there? Well, I mean, it's just a different world. Does Florida

State have that kind of financial support for basketball? I don't think they do. They have some support, I don't know if they have that level of support. So it's going to be interesting to see what he can pull together. I mean, it's clear Leonard Hamilton's got one more year on his contract. They haven't made any move there. He's going to be coaching this team next season. But it's anybody's guess what this team is going to look like.

They did have a transfer commit this past weekend, a nice forward from Hampton who had a nice season last year ten points, ten eleven points, four or five rebounds, and he looks like a player a Leonard Hamilton type player. They've got some junior college kids coming in, so they're rebuilding this roster. But if you were a betting man, it's hard to say, yeah, I think this team's going to be good this year, just because you know, it seems like a lot of things are stacked against them right

now. Leonard Hamilton's blind spot to me has always been point guard. Why why do they struggle finding a point guard? I can't think of the last pure point guard they've had. Yeah, I mean, Trent Force is probably close to it, but he's not necessarily a true point right he convert it like yeah, yeah. I think it's a combination of two things. I think one is he really loves the idea of having big lungs, strong athletic

kids. They can guard several positions, and you know, and so if you have a six foot point guard, you know he's gonna have a tough time sometimes in some of those situations. And then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. You're sitting in there wondering the last time they had a good point

guard. Don't you think every college recruiter is telling every point guard that, yes, he doesn't want to point guard he's not, you know, so I think at some point it's got to be difficult to sign a point guard when everybody else can use that against you. So I think it's just been one of those things. He has not put a value on it the way you feel like he should. I think his argument would be he likes what they do on the defensive end, and he and he's not so worried about

somebody setting up plays. He wants to play a motion offense anyway. So it's just a philosophical thing. But I also think it's certainly a fair criticism. Well, I mean, the bottom line is, I just I don't think college basketball has changed that much. I think it's a college guard game,

and I think you have to have a point guard. Yeah, And you know they've had windows where where they were so skilled athletically and so skilled basketball wise, like that run you know three or four years ago, like you said during COVID, when you know that that team may have won the national title. Agreed, you know where they were they had a good enough point guard, Trent Forrest, who could handle that role, but you were so good everywhere else that you had so many other guys that could get shots

for themselves. What they don't have, what they haven't had as much of, and you know, is when you don't have somebody who can create for everybody else, and then you don't have those other worldly players you know that are going to be first round picks or lottery picks, which they had Patrick Williams and Terrence Well. Terrence Man wasn't a lottery pick for his first round pick, and then Devin Besel and those guys who can make their own shot.

That's when the point guard becomes more important and it exposes it. Some last question related to f as You Basketball. Has Leonard Hamilton earned the right to leave on his own terms or does he get one more year to turn the thing? Well, he gets this year. I think they don't have an appetite to make a change right now. Right hard to hire a coach when you don't know what conference you're going to be in. But listen, man, Bobby Boughten didn't get to name his own terms, So no,

Leonard Hamilton doesn't get the name his own terms. But I do think they're going to go with it because it makes sense of the situation right now, with the fight with the conference and all that. It would be a weird time to try to go hire a basketball yeers Ira, unless something weird happens, I'll talk to you in the fall when we got a new football season to discuss. Thanks for the time, brother, Thanks Prestin taker Irischafelle,

Managing editor Warchant dot Com. My guests on the Morning Show with Preston Scott The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA. To show you how social contagions work. Protesters are now being dragged by police away from Yale. Columbia University has shut down the school for the day. And this is all over a bunch of ill informed, socially motivated by their media malcontents, a bunch of sniveling little brats that are going to school on

their on their parents' dollar, or on hours. Boy, that's annoying. Granted, a lot of these schools are private schools. Whatever, It's just I don't know. Can can someone attend a private school and receive a government student loan? I don't know. I don't know the ins and outs of that. All I know is what's happening on these Ivy League campus is shameful. The anti Semitism that is turning into violence and intimidation against Jews and Jewish

students faculty. Mm hm, m hm. Are people? Are people just ignorant of the nineteen thirties in Germany? Are they just bring dead? Not even a big story in the press box. That's what's happening right now. The big story is brought to you by Grove Creative Marketing and digital expertise. Statewide public opinion poll released last week End of the Week by Florida Atlantic University found less than fifty percent support for the marijuana Amendment and the Abortion Amendment on

abortion. The measure would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. It's Amendment four. It has forty nine percent of support, nineteen percent opposition thirty two percent. About a third of the voters say they don't know. That is crucial. The nineteen percent they're voting no. I would say out of the forty nine percent, there's up to ten percent of that that don't know what they're doing. And I'm not talking about forgive them for they know not what

they do. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about they don't know what this amendment is going to allow. They're in favor of choice. But I would say about about a quarter of that group, maybe a little less, maybe a little more of the forty nine percent, they would not support unhindered abortion. They wouldn't they would not support doesn't matter up until birth. I don't believe that you'll get sixty percent of the state of Florida agreeing to

that if they know that's the key. Some people say six weeks is unreasonable. It depends, I guess, on how you define life. That's a debate that we can have. Now, you know, we can have the debate as far as public policy as it relates to how God views it, there's no debating that. But as a matter of public policy, fine, you can debate that. But equally, there should be no debate on the extremism of this bill. This amendment would would enshrine abortion to the very end

of term and maybe beyond. And that is a hard fact. It can't be argued that's what it says, because it doesn't say any limitation at all. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Did you see the story of the Maryland teenager that had a one hundred and twenty nine page manifesto and the main figure of his manifesto, which was sort of a real plan to do something, but with a main character that was trans This young man's plan

was to shoot up an elementary school. He was arrested. He wrote that he wanted to become a serial killer instead of a mass murder because serial killers are romanticized a lot more, but decided he was going to target his former elementary school because quote, little kids make easier targets. Had mental health issues. Former student at a local high school targeting elementary school for a mass shooting, was hospitalized in December of twenty twenty two after threatening to shoot up a

school. Following month, clinicians reported that the teen was talking about suicide by cop. The individual wanted to be famous by shooting innocent children. I have written and once again I have. I have reached out to everybody that I know. I've written letters to editors, I have posted things I have I have tagged on a post on X Fox News, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post. Stop using these people's names and photos. Kid at Parkland

or Stoneman Douglas. He he wanted to be famous. You don't know me, but you will this guy. We've romanticized serial killers, We've we've made these kinds of shooters pop figures. They want to reenact school shootings like Columbine because the media has made them celebrities. We have a right to know. I don't give a crap what you think. You have a right to know.

Journalists used to have some self restraint, and I get it. They're they're going to come back with the argument, the public has a right to know who these people are, and someone's going to release that information, so it's going to be a trusted news outlet. Whatever you are, you are creating more of these people by continuing to use names, by publicizing their manifestos.

Look, study it, give it to the forensic team, give it to the behavioral psychiatry, give it to all of the criminal behaviorists out there, and let him study this guy's writing all day long. But if the news media will simply stop talking, tell us what happened, leave his name out of it, leave his picture out of it, let him go into the annals of time anonymously, we will have less of these over time. He just said it, I want to be famous, and the media doesn't

understand. They keep talking about we need to do something to stop this. Well, why don't you start by doing what you can do. I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm gonna keep asking sheriffs to get on the bully pulpit. I'm gonna keep asking lawmakers. I'm not telling you to legislate anything. I'm telling you to use the bully pulpit to tell the media to stop. There's only a handful of media outlets that think like I do. If everybody will send that Messa, you will become a pariah for being out there in

the industry and using names and faces. Stop publicizing these people. Back with more of The Morning Show with Preston Scott tomorrow scheduled the US congress Woman Cat Camick manly minute money talk, animal stories, and whatever the news delivers to us between now and then. Mention this earlier. For those of you in the Central time zone, this is in your world, in particular the tenth annual Lionfish Festival May seventeenth through the eighteenth in DestinE. This comes from Florida

Fish and Wildlife. It's it's going to be at aj Seafood and Oyster Bar whatever Harbor Walk Village in Destin, free, open to the public. But then there's the the spearfishing tournament where you're going to go after lionfish. Sounds kind of fun, to be honest. You know what kind of fish? You know? The fish they are? Oh yes, yes, I'm seeing them. They're very stark in their appearance in beautiful fish. Yeah there, but man not good invasive squeezing and spines and they eat up a lot of

the other fish and take over a territory. The categories for one hundred thousand dollars worth of prizes which are up for grabs most lionfish, the largest lionfish, and the smallest lionfish. Now you know what that says, Kill them all, kill the kids, the kiddy lie and fish, kill them all nothing. This is like Old Testament God's wrath kind of stuff. Yeah, just wipe them out, Yes, destroy the whole, the whole bunch of

them. Tournament rules registration Emerald Coast Open dot com, Emerald Coast Open dot com. Local chefs are going to be preparing dishes with lionfish that entire week leading up to the event May tenth, at the boat House landing of Aalparizo Harbor LAPAs Restaurant and Cantena on May eleventh, the Crab Trap on May twelfth, Jasmine Tie on May thirteenth, Beach Walk Cafe May fourteenth, Harbor Docks on the fifteenth, the Harbor Tavern on the sixteenth, and then AJ's Seafood

and Oyster Bar on the eighteenth. So there you go. Lionfish are an invasive species, bad for the environment and the water out there, but really good eating. I'm told I've never tried, but I'm told that the meat off a lionfish is spectacular. I'm willing to give it a go. Yeah, I would, absolutely, So there you go. Something to sign up fork brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. Yeah, our verse. Today we started the program Romans one

twenty God revealing himself in all of creation. So the man is without excuse, big stories in the press box today. Boy that Mike Johnson. Yeah, boy was I wrong? I was hopeful. I was wrong. I thought this guy, this guy is on a mission. Like the Blues Brothers, we had a mission from God. No, not really. It wouldn't seem all the money that was that was allocated in this spending bill that can only be stopped in the Senate. Now, forty one of forty nine Republicans

in the Senate have to have a backbone and they can stop it. Not one penny for the southern border wey to negotiate, Mike, Well done, Well done, buddy. Democrats when they voted for the funding in the House for Ukraine cheered and waved Ukrainian flags. Think about that now, Ukrainian flags, and we're sending more money that we don't have. Biden administration adding protections to Title nine for transgenders. Polling shows that there is not sixty percent of

support right now. It's below fifty percent for both the marijuana amendment and the abortion amendment. Got to defeat them both. I have a hope for one that is infinitely more important to me than the other. But both are bad for the state to be in the Supreme to be in the state constitution. Two good rulings by the United States Supreme Court, both nine to zero on limiting government power locally and anti dei discrimination lawsuits. Good stuff there. Tomorrow

we'll do it all over again. Have a great day, folks, Thanks for listening.
