Luke two thirteen said, and suddenly there was an angel, a multitude of the heavenly oast, praising God and saying glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace among those with whom He is pleased. When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherd said to one another, let's go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us. And they went with haste and found Mary
and Joseph and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told to them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherd's told them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondering them in her heart. And the Shepherd's returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen as it had been told to them. What a day. Mmmmm mmmm
eleven past the hour. We're starting Thursday, November fourteenth. It's kind of our Friday, so that's why we started with the song. We're gonna blend a little Friday into a little Thursday. But boy, buckle up, kiddos, because This is a day on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twelve past the hour inside the American Patriots Almona. On this date, the fourteenth of November eighteen fifty one, Herman Melville's novel Moby
Dick is published. It begins call me Ishmaeil some years ago, never mind how long, precisely, having little or no money in my purse and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world, and so it began. I confess I have a beautiful copy of Moby Dick, given to me by former producer and program director WFLA David Allen, But I have yet to read the book from cover to cover. It is, it's a book. It's
it's I just I must read it someday. Of course, by the time I get around to it, I may need magnifying glasses to read the thing, because the prints are small. But anyway, Eugene Eli becomes the first pilot to take off from a ship, the USS Birmingham, anchored off Hampton Roads, Virginia. Yeah, they converted I want to, say, a cargo ship to an aircraft carrier, just to see if the concept would work. He did it nineteen ten, Game changer. US aircraft carriers still are the biggest, baddest
bully on the sea. Nineteen thirty five. FDR declares the Philippine Islands to be self governing commonwealth when he was president, gained full independence in nineteen forty six, and in nineteen seventy two. Think about this now, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above one thousand for the first time, and where is it now forty three thousand, forty four. I'm telling you it's overvalued anyway. It's got to correct itself in some way, shape or form. That's not necessarily good news.
Quick reminder, I'm getting updates. The last time I got an update from dog Pond Kennels, they had six GSP puppies left. Now They started with thirteen, then it was down to eight. Now they've got six as of earlier this week. I don't know where they are now. So if you're thinking about first of all, if you're a hunter, you know gsps are in some circles the gold standard. But they are bright, bright dogs and dog Pond has AKC AKC registered pups available, sort of a just in
time for Christmas kind of thing. I mean, if you're going to do a Christmas gift, there you go. There's one way to do it if you're looking for a pure bred registered GSP German short hair pointers. So if you're interested, I don't know when they'll be gone, but if you're interested, I would really suggest sooner versus later if you want any kind of selection. I don't know what the breakdown is now. My hunch is they've got
males and females available. But if you're interested. Dog pond Kennels dot Com, just go online, give them a call, tell them I sent you, tell them I told you about the pups, and set up a time to go see them. All right, dogpond Kennels dot Com, anyone in the listening area, you know if you want to, if you want the right kind of dog. Sometimes and you're looking for something beyond what you would get at the pound, and I think adopting for the pound is awesome. I
really do, big fan of it. But sometimes you are looking for something very specific and you want a GSP. Here you go seventeen past the hour, come back, combination of two of my great interests. Next, listen to the program very long. You will learn I love auctions. It's just I can't explain it. I can't pinpoint where it started for me. I really can't. But my wife can't stand haggling over a price, for example, and I generally I am not a fan of negotiating. And I'll give
you this and that. Yeah, yeah, just tell me what the price is and I'll decide if it's worth it to me. You know, well, I can't stand it if you go to a car dealership and we've all had these experiences over the years and they take the approach of what do I need to do to get you to buy today? And I just want you to know. I just want to know from you how much does that vehicle cost? Period? And what's the best price that I'm going to buy that thing for? Okay, thank you?
Interested you want to buy that car? No? I know what if I take fifteen no no, no, no, see, I just asked you what the best price was. I have no objection to someone making a profit. It doesn't bother me at all. That's their job, their jobs to make a profit. Just what's the price that's all simple. But auctions are different because auctions say what do you want to pay? Here's the reserve price some things. Some things are with out of reserve, so it's just high
bid wins some it's high bid. Starting at this point, and then, of course we also frequently in this segment of the program talk about food because it's a safe topic at this hour, right, it just is unless it's like really gross food, and to some of you that could be just about anything, right, But this is a combination of auctions and food, and you might think, how can that be? Because food in and of itself is dated, it goes bad. That's why we listen to the Morning
Show because we stumble upon stories like this. A seventy seven year old slice of cake has sold at auction for two thousand, eight hundred and thirty one dollars. It's not just any slice of cake. It was a gift, I think, a rather cheap gift, but it was nonetheless a gift given to Marian Paulson, the housekeeper at Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Scotland, and a gift from Queen Elizabeth the Second and her wedding to Prince Philip. They gave
the gift. It was packaged in a box bearing then Princess Elizabeth silver insignia, and included a printed letter from the bride and a decorative doily. Lords is a piece of cake.
It's boxed and sealed with the princess's own label, and not just Latin. There's a fine letter description of the gift and a lovely doiley.
The cake originally was a five hundred pound wedding cake, so it was served on November twentieth, nineteen forty seven. And this, I don't know what you do with it. I don't know what it looks like. I can only imagine it's gotta look kind of gross. Right If the cake was edible seventy seven years ago, surely it has jouise transition to another form in the subsequent nearly eight decades of life. Anyway, there you go. Twenty eight thirty one is your price at the gavel for a piece
of wedding cake that's seventy seven years old. I would imagine that the letter and the box would be enough, but I guess not man who wants that that would be. Don't worry, sweetheart, I would not be bidding on an item like that. That would that would not cost me to break out my checkbook. Besides, I would never pay that much for much of anything. Can't say anything but much of anything. Twenty eight minutes after the hour, come back with Boy the Big Stories in the press Box.
Wow.
Thirty six past the hour The Morning Friends Thursday final show week Here on the Morning Show Monday, back with Grant Allen as the DH. He will be the designated host as I am taking an extra day, a little long weekend. I got a little wedding in the family over the weekend, and so we will be we're in town. I'm just taking tomorrow and and Monday off primarily because I got to burn some time. I don't have to worry about the wedding. It's not it's not me getting married.
I've just along for the ride. But the Big Stories, boy, oh boy, Now we will We will be talking to people today and next week to weigh in on all this stuff. Sal Newso later today will join US. Congresswoman cat Camick scheduled to join us in the third hour this morning. Donald Trump picking Matt Gates to be the Attorney General. Here's what's more interesting. Gates resigned his seat in the US House effective immediately. I don't know why he did that. One theory is he has to have
assurances that he's going to get confirmed. Here's the problem. A lot of people don't like the guy. They just don't. And the Senate Republicans, the Senate confirms all of these appointments. I don't know that they're going to do it. So all of a sudden, now there's a few more House races. But the Republicans grabbed the House yesterday by one. They
got the one seat they needed to get to two eighteen. Well, this drops them back to two seventeen, and suddenly the Democrats are looking at an open seat in the Florida West District District one and go, okay, now, now it's gonna be hard for them to win that seat. It is reliably Republican. But why did Gates quit? I'm just I have no problem with him winning reelection and now quitting because he didn't know Trump was gonna win, thought he was going to win. He didn't know, so he
ran for reelection. Matt Gates is a very effective apologist for conservative ideals. He's just mercurial and he's a bit of a lightning Rod and there are some that believe that if first he's really not qualified to be the attorney general. I personally would be leaning towards Ken Paxton out of Texas, but that's just me. I would be looking for somebody that has attorney general experience, at least on a state level, and has the right view of
the government's role and so forth. This is the one selection that Trump has made that's caused people to go, WHOA wait a minute. He's appointed Tulsea Gabbard Director of National Intelligence. I used a good pick. She's a new Republican, she came out of the Democrat Party, but she's got the chops. Marco Rubio Secretary of State. Here's what that means for Matt Gates. It would mean a special election for Rubio. It means Ron DeSantis would appoint. And there
are a lot of very interesting scenarios. He could appoint himself, We talked about that yesterday. He could appoint his wife. He could appoint his chief of staff who we had on the program day before the election, James uth Meyer. He could appoint somebody else. He could appoint Ashley Moody. A lot of it depends on does he want a placeholder. Does he want that seat, does he want to run for the US Senate or does he want someone to take that seat and then have a leg up to
run for reelection. I don't know. John Thune elected Senate GOP leader. Rick Scott was eliminated in the first round of secret balloting, and then it was Thune and Corny in Thuon edged him out. It's the old guard. Now Thune says he's going to support Trump's agenda. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt if for one reason, he does not have Mitch McConnell's entanglements in China.
Mitch McConnell was compromised because of his personal relationship his wife, her relationship, she's a Chinese national, and his investments in China. He was compromised. I don't expect John Thune to have those same complications. So we'll see. And Special Counsel Jack Smith apparently is going to resign before being fired. Good he was never legally appointed anyway. Forty one minutes after the hour, how's that for the big stories in the breast box? Huh? Those are some things you gotta know.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott I wrote in the Rundown I told you. I told you to borrow from the late great rush Limbad. Don't doubt me on some things. Look, I'm prone to be wrong when I offer some thoughts because I'm a human. I don't think I'm going to be wrong. Of course I don't. I think I'm right all the time. I know I'm not. See there's the difference.
I know I'm not. There are lots of occasions when it turns out I was wrong, like that time that I thought I was wrong, but in fact I wasn't. But not just kidding, I'm d think headline this is the boy talk about a title the Jewish news syndicate Jewish News Syndicate Israel US Hamas blocking hostage deal. Inside it breaks down the fact that every time they think they're negotiating a deal, Hamas pulls out and says nope.
There are allegedly one hundred and one men, women and children who have been held by Hamas in the Gaza since twenty twenty three, going on four hundred days now. Spokesman for the United States on this matter, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, face the nation over the weekend. What I will tell you is whatever Hamas is saying publicly, what they are communicating to the mediators is no, we will not do a ceasefire and hostage deal at this time.
Of course they won't because most of the hostages are dead. I've told you this. I don't know why Israel needs to accept unless they have rock solid intelligence telling them otherwise that most of these people are gone. They need to finish the job, annihilate Hamas and Hezbollah and their leadership and the ability that they have to wage any kind of military terrorist, sorry, terrorist offensive. That's what needs
to happen. A moss blocking hostage deal. You think they don't have any, they kill them all or most all of them. Elon Musk calling to defund NPR, got to take a little time on that, So we'll do that next forty six minutes past the hour, NPR National Public Radio.
Huh on News Radio one point SEVENBUFLA. All right, full.
Disclosure time here on the morning show. As you would expect, Steve Shwartan just a little bit. Doctor David Hart's next hour a little road trip idea. But yeah, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami are this dynamic duo charged with figuring out where the waste is in government. Good luck, it's everywhere. The duplication of services, the overlap is endless, and bureaucrats are this is going to be a war. Jobs are at stake now again, Trump's got to create jobs to
give these people places to go. That said, I have some real personal thoughts on NPR because National Public Radio unfairly competes against all of the rest of commercial radio. Same thing with television PBS. Now I don't know if PBS shows up in the ratings, but it shouldn't because they don't have to compete with advertising dollars. They don't have to deal with what all commercial radio stations have to deal with. And ironically, our tax dollars pay for
this programming. And so you can say what you want about Oh, NPR does some wonderful features. Yes, they do some wonderful features, but they're reporting sucks and is abysmal and is slanted and is one sided. It's not reporting, it's biased commentary. But I want to drill down to what tipped off and really got under the skin of
Elon Musk that has made NPR a target. And now, mind you Musk is not the savior of all things good and decent, but he has a compass that has some kind of north on it, some kind even if it's not based on what I think it ought to be. Footage of the CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher ted Talk twenty twenty one. I'm gonna quote her ten seconds. This is the head of NPO, a national public radio. Your
tax dollars pay for this. I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done. Huh, let me do the paraphrase here. We could accomplish a lot of stuff, and we could bring people together if we didn't have to be concerned with the truth. But the truth is a distraction. It gets
in the way. WT question mark what you're the head of what is primarily a news entity supposed to be It's not a propaganda machine for the Democrat Party and a liberalism. And I resent NPR because NPR competes against me. Now I'm thrilled to say that we beat them, but that doesn't happen all the time because they unfairly compete.
They don't have to you know, I deal with commercial interruptions, and I hope you people will spread the word because obviously you support me and support this show and support this station despite knowing there will be advertisements. We have clients that rely on you, and they rely on us telling their message. I hope you'll explain to people that listen to NPR it's not a level of playing field. They don't sell ads because they use your tax dollars
to propagate you and the rest of the country. Elon Musk wants to cut NPR from the budget, they should same with PBS. Let them do their little fundraisers the way that Christian radio does. Go for it, do it. Rely on all your viewers and listeners to support and foot the whole bill, and let's see what happens. Get the tax dollars out of the mix. Because they're not independent, they are very dependent, and NPR is very one sided. W there's the last time anybody heard anything positive about
the Republican Party on NPR. Give me a break. Best thing NPR ever put out was Click and Clack, the Tappitt Brothers car talk. Those guys are awesomely funny, were and an occasional Fresh Air segment. That's it, that's it. But those days are gone gone because truth doesn't you know, truth really is an inconvenience. It's a distraction. At NPR, their words, not mine. Oh man, you couldn't write the stories that we talk about on a daily basis if you paid writers to sitting around and sit around in
a room, you just you could not do it. The old adage that truth is stranger than fiction comes to life every single morning here on the radio program Good Morning Friends. I'm Preston, He's Ose and this is the executive editor of Tallahassee Reports, the one, the only, Steve Stewart. Before we begin, congratulations to your daughter Kate State champion.
Well, well, thank you. Yeah, the whole child's team. They took care of business. Was sort of routine down at State. They had a really tough regional game which was really ended up being the tough game, but they took our business.
And so twenty five and one state champions.
Congratulations, thank you, and congratulations to Kate and the rest of the team. Watched him play once and and uh yeah.
They got a lot of a lot of it's a very powerful team, a lot of athletic girls on the team.
Hey tell me now, we're now, you know, just just over a week away from the election results here that that happened in the capital city. The fallout, what what kind of what kind of reaction is going on?
So I think going into election, I know, two days before I had heard that there will probably be mass.
Resignations if DoD Daman Johnson won.
I think a lot of the people at the city have been there for a number of years, very veteran group in different areas. Obviously, the city manager rescoed and then some of his deputies, uh you know in.
The and the growth management area.
They weren't going to sit around and wait, you know, for Jeremy Mattlowe and Jack Porter and Donovan Johnson to do what they've.
Sort of been bragging about privately.
And so the election, which was twelve hundred votes out of sixty thousand votes, was obviously very close. But it's sort of is they shot at the king quote and missed, And so now, you know, we move forward with.
The city basically continuing what they were doing.
However, I think there is going to be a change in how the minorities treated. I think, you know, it's been six years and this has been Mattlow's goal to take control of the City Commission and he just doesn't have it. He's not going to get it for another two years, So what is he going to do? And so I think that there's going to be you know, I watched the City Commission meeting after the election, a
little bit of sniping back and forth. It's clear that they're not going to get the same respect that they were demanding before. If you remember Commissioner Porter talking about this was up to the election, about how she felt like she was being disrespected, it's going to get worse.
I think that they're going to ignore them. And you know, in part of this, if you.
Watch this, the way the election was horribly uh you know, out of state money, attacks on abortion, you know, at tax.
Using issues that have nothing to do with the City Commission.
It was a pure power play. The out of state money is alarming, and I feel like that might have moved the needle just a little bit.
I think it did.
And I think now though what happens is almost like the issue with the planning the evidence fiasco that they tried to promote, and they being the progressive Commission, Montlow was the only elected official that really.
Stepped out there.
When things go against them, they just want to sort of say, okay, well, you know that's done. Nobody's going to really hold us accountable, and we'll move on to the next thing. I get the idea that's what they're doing here, Commission Mattlow congratulating, pretend it never happened, and the media has sort of gone along with him. I sense a little bit of a change in that that approach. I think people are tired of the bickering and the
dividing they they have. They use this money, and this goes to show you where you you know, you use three to four hundred thousand dollars to come in and Starre are just polluting mailboxes and the airwaves and making comments about you know, cops being racist and the new headquarters being cops city, and and you divide a community and it can be done well.
What's interesting is in most situations of political divide, and you know this all too well, it's Democrat Republican, right, this is new territory, No it is.
And I think the fallout from that. So, first of all, the business of the city is going to continue. I think they're gonna us they're going to be less on their heels in regards to law enforcement and things of that nature. But I think I think the leadership and sort of the dynamics that took place with Commission Mattlow and his one pack and who he was paying.
Ryan Ray, head of the Democrat, I want to get to that here and say Executive Committee.
I think that's where a lot of the fallouts is going to be. Steve Stewart with us Tallahasseer Reports, subscribe. That's where you will learn what's really going on the others every now and then tag along, but generally not really Ten past the hour.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven w f LA, back with Steve Stewart, Executive editor Tallahassee Reports. We're talking about the fallout from the election, and you know, the effort to play nice when you've been playing dirty for six years, that doesn't go over very well.
Now.
I think if you look at this moving forward, there's a couple of things that and we're going to follow this on Tylas Reports.
I mean there's two different angles here.
The first is that you know, you hear mister Mattlow talk about corruption and developed by developers.
You know, because they get involved with elections.
The difference here is that business owners they don't spend every waking day focused on government. They're trying to they're trying to create jobs and do what they do. They have to deal with the government because of regulations.
Necessary evil, it's right.
So they have to make sure from their perspective that they have access to government officials because they passed laws that impact them. So you know, every two years they got to figure out what's going on. And so on the other side, you have Commissioner Mattlow, who is a sitting city commissioner create a pack raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and this is his full time job to overturn the city commission.
And see, I think that.
Is a little bit is what's distasteful to voters, and they don't know the whole story.
It is starting, but it's starting to be revealed.
You know, the commission Mattlow was involved with this our Tallahassee blog which involved Max Hurley, which is now defunct, but one of the creators of that blog, Bob Lotein, now has turned on the original people that started this because I guess he got a good sense of their character and their ethics. And so now you're starting to
get information of just who was involved. I mean, there was a meeting with that involved Jack Porter and Commissioner Mattlow, and there was a presentation made that actually highlighted city business. That's a violation somehow sunshine laws. I mean, you were talking. You know, it wasn't a notice meeting. And so you start seeing things like this that are going on behind the scenes. Well, wait a minute, you're paying Max Hurley.
He's the one that altered this video to make it look like a police officer planet evidence altered or edited edited I wouldn't say altered edited to make it look like there was planet evidence, and then you ran with that hoping to score political points. And so when you start revealing these things, which has not they have not been revealed ahead of the election, but they're starting to come out now. I think this is this will show
you exactly what the progressives are trying to do. Now, if you go back and look at the national narrative of what happened, what they're after here really was lost at the ballot box. You start talking about law enforcement, you start talking about economic growth, climate change. Both those things were on the ballot and that's what they.
Wanted to do here.
If you look at the money that was coming in from out of state, climate change was a big part of what they wanted to do. They wanted to address it by, you know, rapidly transition our electric utility using renewable energy, which.
Drives You think your bills are high now, friends, So.
This stuff has been sort of cut off at the ballot box, right, But I think, you know, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes for the progressives to really sort of reap what they've sewed behind the scenes, and you know it will be it'll be interesting to see who within their party will step up and start demanding change in their leadership.
Well, speaking of that, it just I stand by my statement, though it doesn't impact me because I'm not a city voter. I should be because I pay the city for part of my utility bill, but I don't have that. Right that said, I'm still bothered by the fact that these are allegedly nonpartisan offices and we have the most partisan political hack, Ryan Ray, serving as the aid to one of the sitting commissioners. That's a problem.
Now, not only that is a problem, but his ethics are a problem. You start looking at how they they chose sides in this race between two Democrats, and I think that's what you saw with Commissioner Richardson, who has been a loyal Democrat all his life, and then you all of a sudden you were faced with these questions from he was told to get out of the party from the lead from leadership. You know, I have you know, I've a couple of sources people with outside of the
city want Ryan or a gone. The problem is that the progressives have controlled the structure that elects the leader, and so it will be interesting to see how that moves forward.
More with Steve Stewart of TELEASKI Reports again subscribe get the paper tele askireports dot Com. Final segment each Thursday. Less something comes up, you know, like Thanksgiving, we will not be talking to Steve Stewart on Thanksgiving. We'll all be going to his house.
There you go, I won't be there, so it's just wait outside.
I've never been comfortable with the Children's Services counsel. You and I both did our best to advise people against the dangers of unelected folks having the opportunity to tax you. And look what we've got. We've got millions out of the economy locally for what.
Yeah, I think you know it's a double whammy because you're getting a new taxing authority and then also you're getting a new bureaucracy. I mean, it's one thing to raise more money for a topic, you know, like blueprint, but you're creating a new bureaucracy. And it's starting to show some controversy over how it's operating the City in
the county. Before the CSC had their CHSP process, which is a human service program where they would collect they each I think city in the county is about a million over a million dollars and they've divided up into categories. Children's services was one of the categories. Not a lot of money compared to what's being raised by the CSC. So the CSC now is raising about eight to ten million a year, and you got the city in a county.
They're saying, well, wait a minute, so we're spending two hundred and fifty thousand on children's services, you've got eight million dollars, why don't we quit funding children's services and we help out adult services.
Homeless has been a big issue since COVID.
And some of the elected officials push back on that with the Leon County. And now what's happening is the City and County is just recently went and we've had an article coming up on this, went to a CSC meeting and made a presentation wanting them to adopt a CHSP like process and sort of partner with the city
in county. And if I got to tell you from a personal view and opinion, I think a CSC should stand on its own so that we can independently verify what they're doing and what they're not doing, measure results results. I don't think the city and County should get involved with it. Having said that, I also think the city and county, given what we have with the CSC, should
get out of the children's services business. And when we've got an entity which is raising eight million dollars, let the city and county use their money to more effectively go, you know, address other issues instead of you know, just keeping you know, the couple hundred thousand dollars that they're using. And so it's because it's going to be a showdown.
They gave the presentation the CSC is not interested in partnering with them, and so what the county wants to do is say, look, the nonprofits that have come up come to us for money, we're going to start directing to the CSC, and so we'll see what that's going to take a vote of the Leon County Commission and we'll see how that goes.
Steve this, the Children's Services Council got put on the ballot locally, and one would think that within three months they'd have an operational plan, because they should have had something before they ever even got put on the ballot. So I'm going to give them three months in the in the time subsequent to that, how many years has it been now, you know it's been.
I think that they've collected eight you know, they've collected three years, yeah, two or three years. And you know my approach on this was, look, all right, I was against it, not that I didn't think they're needed, you know there mate, we all love children exactly, But now that it's here, my theory was, look, pick out a major issue that we have, raise the eight million dollars, fix it, okay, put out a press release and brag about it and let's move on to something else.
But instead they're doing what all bureaucracy bureaucracies do.
They want to make sure they last, and they're giving money. I mean, they're giving money to so many different groups that it doesn't it's almost like you know, throwing ink and water to just disperse. You don't really see a needle moving anywhere. And you know, I know that they've tried, and I don't know if this is just for pr purposes. They're trying to act like they're measuring results, but saying that you know.
The results to what what are they doing?
Well, they'll give them more money to a nonprofit, We'll seek more money to increase the number of kids served in a natural school program.
But is that what the the voters were sold they were weren't they sold something different than that that we didn't vote on a Children's Services Council that was going to be a fundraiser.
Now, I think that what you know, if you look at the difference between blueprint and the CSC blueprint, actually, back when they did infrastructure were specific projects. You can see them done and you can see what happened. The CC is not does not have that approach, and you could argue that they're softer programs, but that's I think something they need to try to do.
And so, you know, I'll give you an example.
At this meeting, they talked about their small vendor program that they gave out about three hundred thousand dollars to twenty five programs that impacted two thousand participants.
I'll save you the math.
That's about seven dollars per person. How can that ever move a needle? And it just looks like very it's lunch. It looks like yeah, but it remember for them to get the seven dollars, you had to go through all this bureaucracy and.
So yeah, so what's the other seven point seven million dollars going to?
So we're going to dig into more of this of exactly what's going on. Again, it's not that we want things to change. I mean, when I hear you know about children suffering or things not going well, you want to fix that.
But there's just such a there's such a bridge.
Between raising the money, going through the bureaucracy, getting the service providers, and then measuring what they're doing. And so that's something we're going to try to follow.
Yeah, that's a different philosophy. I government can't fix bad parenting. I just it's not the job of government, and we're seeing that happen since the nineteen six You can't.
Fix it, but you can highlight that that's the problem.
Yeah. Boy, there's a good spenditure of eight million dollars out of the out of the local economy. Thank you sir.
All right, thank you, President Steve.

This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Well. The big story in the press box the appointments by Donald Trump to his cabinet, the one creating the most discussion. Matt gets a congressman from Florida's first congressional district. We'll talk with Kat Cammick about it in just a little bit. She is the congressional rep from District three. She easily won reelection, as did District two representative doctor Neil Dunn. He called the Santas and gave him heads up. He's resigned because he wants his replacement in by January third.
Florida law requires the replacement to be elected within eight weeks, so we're looking at a pretty quick process here, and so Gates feels very strongly that he's going to get confirmed. There is the option of a recess appointment, which I think would be ill advised by the president. I think everyone should go through the confirmation process because it's appropriate. Matt Gates is being supported by many, but not all,
in his party. He's a lightning rod. There are many that believe that while he is incredibly skilled at being a member of Congress, and he is. He knows the issues and he's very good at articulating them. I've played quotes from Matt frequently on this show. I'm not quite sure that John Fetterman's wrong US Senator from Pennsylvania when he says Matt Gates was the troll pick of all time by Trump. He is trolling his enemies, and he's kind of laughing about it. Here's the deal. He has
to get fifty members of the United States Senate. You might say, well, but there are fifty three Republicans. Well not really, they have fifty three, but two of them are as frequent to caucus with Democrats as they are with Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. So they have fifty one, which means they can only afford in total for three defections. They got to keep fifty to get him through. Now I've changed my opinion
on Pete Hegsith. I think he's a I think after I've thought about it, he might be just the perfect choice. And you know who changed my mind? I think it's is it Harold Ford Or used to be a member of Congress from New York. He's an incredibly moderate Democrat. I don't know how he gets invited to any parties
in the Democrat caucus. He's a he's a smart guy, but he's he's thoughtful and he he kind of praised the pick, acknowledging that it's going to be tough, but he said, look, he's got the he's got the requisite military background, and he will appeal to younger people. He's
a younger guy. His views on the military and its role are well known before the confirmation process even begins, Before before he was even nominated, everybody knew what Pete Heggs had thought about DEEI and all this woke nonsense in the military. He said it's got to go. The joint chiefs of staff got to go. And he's right. Trump appointing Marco Rubio to become the Secretary of State, that his appointment will breeze through even Democrats respect Rubio.
That leaves the appointment of the US Senate seat to Governor round de Santis. So DeSantis has to get the special election going, and they've got to find the right person to try to fill Matt Gates as a Republican in West Florida. He also has to pick. He will pick who the US Senator is to serve out Rubio's term. He could pick himself. Does he want the job. If he does, he could also put a placeholder in there for two years while he finishes out his term as governor.
He could put his wife in there. He could put his chief of staff in there. He could ask Ashley Moody if she wants the gig, if he doesn't want it, if he wants it, if he wants to run for the US Senate in two years, you put a placeholder in there for two years. So we'll see what else do we have we've got Tulci Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence. Interesting, and John Thune is the House, sorry not House, the
Senate majority leader, replacing Mitch McConnell. A lot of people have, including me, I've been leery of that, but we'll see. We'll see. I'm leary, but he doesn't have the entanglements in China that Mitch did. That compromise McConnell as as Senate leader. We come back. Dr David Hart's a little optimum health naturally on deck. Time to dial into some optimum health, but do so naturally in joining us. Dr David Hart's.
Good morning, sir, Good morning impression.
Please tell me you're gonna make my day and and and and make the inner Winnie the Pooh in me smile from ear to ear.
Well, we are gonna talk about honey. You're right, come right about that. Come on, well, you know, take a lot of things away from you, President, I want to try to get some things back.
Well.
This this is really amazing, because of course, you know, honey tastes really good and it has a lot of benefits that way. But it's really amazing how natural substances are so powerful. And this is another example of that in that. You know, honey has been around for obviously thousands of years, and it's been used and all kinds of different indigenous cultures and ancient civilizations. The Egyptian is, the Greeks, the Romans, they've all used honey, and they've
used it in interesting ways. One thing is wound healing. It's an agent that actually was talked about in an Egyptian trauma manuals as far back as twenty six one hundred BC, and the Hippocratus used this. In modern medicine, they've also done a bunch of studies on this and per reviewed different literature, and wound specialists even today are starting to use this much more medical grade honey and
it actually has unbelievably good healing effects. It's got antibacterial effects, it's got anti fungal effects, and it also is really good for just putting on individual acne types outbreaks. It seems to speed up healing. It has the ability of a certain pH range between three point two and four
point five that really has a wonderful effect upon healing wounds. Also, you can, you know, we people always talk about using honey, like when we have sore throats, and so forth in it just because it tastes good and it sees that soothe our throats, but it actually is an antibacterial effect. When we do it, it's actually doing something that actually helped the bacteria or fungal infections whichever we have. So it's really interesting how well it works. And it also
has a bunch of other effects. One of the things that has actually too they've researched at least two different and a bacterial resistant bacteria that this that honey will work on, that antibiotics work, you can believe that.
So how much how much honey is required for there to be some beneficial benefits to us health wise?
Well, if you're talking about taking it internally, you obviously you don't want to. It can actually be beneficial to innert us and stuff like that in your gut, but you know, you don't want to exchange one disease for diabetes, you know, sure, because it obviously has you know a lot, a lot of sugar and infuctose and glucose, So you don't want to do that, but you know you can,
you know, a teaspoonful it would be fine. It's mostly been researched basically for topical applications and for like using it for gargling, or using it for just sipping and tea. And you can use it for internal use. But I mean, listen, we even got Proverbs tells us in sixteen twenty four gracious words our honey. Our honeycombs sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. So it's been around a long time being used as something that's beneficial to the body. But you if you put it on an open wound,
you do need to use a medical grade honey. And also, you know, don't give it to kids under like, you know, one year old, yes, or at least a one year old before you give it to them.
Where does one get medical grade honey.
You can get it right on You can get it right on the internet. You can google it, the amazonal sell it tea. It's not that hard to get at all. Maluca is really good too. It comes from New Zealand. It's expensive, but there is some overall systemic benefits to it that are quite amazing.
I can only imagine that if you put a little honey on a wound, you better keep that wound tightly bandaged so ants don't climb up on you.
Well, you do, and you want to put it on the bandage and then put it on the wound.
They'll hear him. Doctor Hart's always good stuff. Thank you, sir.
Oh, you're welcome. Have a great day.
Impression, Thank you, sir. Doctor David Hart's with us this morning. Look at us. Takes so much and now he gives back little honey, little honey. It's a little bit medical
grade though topical. That's what we're talking about. Forty seven past the hour story here of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship Explorer of the Seas, sailing to Miami, was in the Atlantic near Spain and hit a rough patch of weather and the video from inside that ship passengers being tossed around, I mean tossed around as in some they had to they had to take port in Spain in order to get one of them off in hospital to
the hospital to be treated. Broken glass, furniture, food items, everything in the dining area just trashed from being pushed pushed back and forth. I'm thinking to myself, Yeah, there's there are a couple of places that I don't want to be in, say, July through end of November, and the Atlantic Ocean one of them. Man, book a cruise for winter and early spring.
Don't.
Don't book a cruise at a time when the weather is spinning up and can be hurricane weather. I mean, you know, from from West Africa to the eastern portion into the Gulf of the United States. That's like that, that zone crossing the Atlantic to from from the northern United States to to the UK and France. Stay away, my goodness. People. But let me also give you this tip. If you go on a cruise, do not I don't care how much money you're saving. Don't book on the
bow or the or the stern. You want to be in the center of the ship, center of the ship, out outer cabin. You don't want an inner cabin that has no windows. But inner cabin no windows in the middle of the ship is better than an outer cabin or a balcony at the front of the back of the ship, because you are tipping up and down and up and down, and you better just be prepared if you do that. Instead, let's talk about a road trip, huh, even though there are no guarantees, right, we're focused on
roadies that embrace the Christmas holiday. And so here's one of the top twenty five spots in the country for Christmas. Alexandria, Virginia, about twenty minutes south of DC. The old town's row houses, centuries old brick streets, you get a little bit of snow, the Christmas wreaths that are out, the lights that are out, a ton of seasonal activities. They've got the Alexandria Holiday Boat Parade of lights early December, the annual Scottish Christmas
Walk Parade one day later come Christmas Eve. There's an incredible thing along the Potomac. And so Alexandria, Virginia would be a road trip idea for you. And again we're just we're giving you suggestions of places to go in and around Christmas. And I know for a lot of you, Helen, Georgia is a place. It's a Bavarian German village in North Georgia, about an hour and a half north of Atlanta. Okay, okay,
I'm down with that. I love stuff like that. I love feeling like I'm in a different place without being in that different place, you know what I'm saying. Like I'd love to feel an authentic Bavarian German village without going to Germany back with our three. All right, here we go, third hour morning show with Preston Scott.
He's Jose Jose got in you a c EH.
I don't know why I feel like saying it that way. I just do it. Is Jose c A n U s E at iHeartRadio dot com if you want to drop him a note, And of course I'm Preston Scott. Welcome to the program. We're waiting for Cat Camick. I was warned it's crazy in Washington right now. I was warned, But we've not been told she's not going to join us, so we'll just assume that she'll get with us in just a little bit. I know that we wanted to touch on the fact they held all of the elections yesterday.
She ran, she was nominated for Conference chair of the GOP. She did not win. I'm saddened by that. I think she would be incredible. But I wanted to get her thoughts on the various appointments of the President elect, as well as what those appointments will do to shake up the makeup of Congress. Because you're pulling sitting lawmakers, you have to be strategic about how and what. But nonetheless,
it's still an important consideration. Am I picking from a state whether there's an assurance that we have a Republican governor that's going to appoint, or from a district where we know that there's going to be a Republican replacing Those are things you have to you have to think about. I know that for a lot of people. And we'll talk about some of this in a little bit with Salnusoh. Sal will join us at the bottom of the hour, getting up way early on the West coast to join
us where he uh, he's away on business. But I've had a lot of people ask about, you know, my thoughts on on who ought to be that person that Governor RhI de Santas picks to be the the US senator replacement. I've had people say, what's your opinion on Byron Donald's. I think Byron Donalds would be an incredible choice if he wants the gig, if there's a very high likelihood that his seat will be retained. Now he here's a consideration and all that. Byron's wife, Erica, she's sharp.
We've had Eric on the program. She is a sharp cookie, and there are many that think that she has more than enough game to be a member of Congress. The only way you move Byron Donald's into that seat is a if he wants it, well, let me back up, back up, you appoint somebody that wants the job. If you don't want it, and you're on DeSantis dessandas can put himself in there. I don't think he would. I think what he would do is put someone in there
to be a placeholder. And so I think that's the most likely scenario, is that the governor, if he wants the job as a US senator, picks either his chief of staff, his wife, or someone who is loyal to him that would take the seat for two years, and then he would run to replace Rubio when Rubio's term is over. All right, as promised, joining us, We're gonna you know what, let's do. Let's take the break a little early, so we have two full segments. Congresswoman Cat
Camick is with us. We will get to her next. It's just about ten past the hour. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
The Morning Show with Preston Scott's.
Get right to our visit with US Congresswoman Kat Cammick, Florida's third district. Congratulations congresswoman on the reelection.
Oh, thank you, thank you. It is good to be back, and we have got a lot of work to do in very little time.
I've described it as squatters have been in a house for four years and it's been torched and destroyed, and the rebuilding is going to be very, very difficult. Anyone that's ever occupied a home while doing a renovation knows how troubling that is. Kat. I don't think I'm far off by saying there is really no way of describing how broken things are.
Oh that's putting it mildly, and I got a bit of a taste of it yesterday. We have not four years. We have two years. Because historically the House that is in power, when the new administration comes in, it flips. So right now we're operating underneath the assumption that Republicans will have the House for the next few years, and then after that Democrats will do everything they can to obstruct the Trump forty seven agenda. So we have very little time to get this done. And when we say
it's broke, it is broke to the core. And I don't know that there's any amount of super blue that we can we can find that will piece it back together. So in many ways, we just have to take this all the way down to the studs and start again. And we're going to be on a mission to make government as small and efficient as humanly possible. And I think President Trump has been knocking it out of the
park with his cabinet picks. This is going to be American freedom on steroids, and I could not be more excited for it.
Kat. One of the reasons why I'm so grateful to you for making time even though a large part of my regular radio audience iHeart obviously moves the show across the country, but we're not in your district. A large part of it just is not. But one of the reasons why I have you is I don't know of many that are as candid about the temperature of what's going on in Washington, inside the beltwagh as you. So
let me just ask you this up front. Well, the Freedom Caucus, which I'm a big fan of, will they turned perfect into the enemy of good because we cannot afford GOP infighting.
Well we got a real big taste of that yesterday, no surprise. Once again, you know it was deja vu two years ago. We had this fight with Kevin McCarthy and then yesterday we were watching it play out with Speaker Mike Johnson, and it all comes down to the rules package. Now, the rules package in the conference is how we conduct ourselves, how we do our business, and it always seems to come down to the motion to vacate. The motion to vacate is the tool that members have
to replace the Speaker of the House. Now, historically for decades that had been four was the number. Then it was negotiated two years ago to go down to one, and that is how Matt Gates and Kevin McCarthy infamously had that clash and Kevin mca he was then replaced. There has been so much movement up here in Washington to make it a simple majority of members required in order to remove it. The Freedom Caucus and some others have said, no, we want to keep it at one. Well,
this is where it gets frustrating for me. I think sunlight is the best disinfectant. And what we saw yesterday was another backdoor deal negotiated in secret, and we don't know what the deal was that was negotiated. And what I have seen is it doesn't matter what label you put on or what group you belong to within the House, whether you're Freedom Caucus or you know, Main Street or whatever other group there you know you belong to. People
will always let their ambitions cloud their judgment. And two years ago we saw where it wasn't just about the motion of vacate, it was give me a committee assignment. I want an office in the capital. I want this, I want that. Yesterday, behind closed doors, they were negotiating the motion to vacate. We don't know what that magic number is, but we do know that there were as a request made to have more office space, more committee assignments,
more of this, more of that. I'm watching my country die and people up here still want to operate with the cloak and dagger smoke filled back rooms. We have to take this all the way down to the studs because the American people deserve to know the truth of what's going on up here and who's really on their side, because all I've seen so far is a bunch of people up here that are in it for themselves and their political careers, not for the American people.
Kat Camick with US US congresswoman from Floria's third congressional district, back with more with our congresswoman friend here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott ac Sorry about that, coming right back.
Hold on.
Twenty one passed the hour. I told you, folks in the wake of the election results, don't pop the champagne, don't break open the corks, because not only as Congresswoman Kat Camick is telling us, do we have a crapload of work to get done? And I say we because folks, you play a role in this, in pressuring your members
of Congress. But Kat, you're describing the other side of my fears, and that is that the GOP will not awaken to what the voting public just asked for and they'll just get in their own way and fumble it all away. Tell me about your I know that the young Republicans of Florida wanted you, pushed hard for you to become French Chair.
What happened in that so yesterday was our leadership elections. And of course in leadership you have the Speaker of the House, the majority leader, and the majority leader brings he sets the schedule and determines what bills come to the floor. Then you have the whip who is responsible for the counting the votes, making sure we have the votes, and then you have conference chair, who is the messenger and the person who organizes and keeps the conference together.
And make no mistake, if we are not one team, one mission, and that mission being America First, with the exceptionally narrow majority that we have, we will not be able to get President Trump's agenda done. And so I thought that I was absolutely the best person to communicate those conservative principles, to communicate to the American public what we're doing, how we're doing it, and why we're doing it, and to keep the conference together because I get along
with everyone. But at the end of the day, I was told when the vote came down that because I do not support earmarks, that I was not the choice for the conference. I was also told that because I did not vote to remove George Santos, that I would not be in leadership. And to the George Santos situation, I'll say this, the voters are the ones in charge.
Our folks back home are our bosses. And I don't think that it is right for members of Congress to pretend to be the moral authority and to disenfranchise eight hundred thousand of someone else's voters. And that's effectively what people who voted to kick George Santos did. Not only was it a stupid political decision narrowing our majority which stopped us from getting more done and stopping the radical Biden agenda, but we disenfranchised eight hundred thousand people. To me,
that's absolutely insane. And so I wish the conference, of course, the best of luck, and I will do everything in anything I can to make sure that we are united and that we stick together. But this has got to be a reckoning that the swamp is so very real, and that there will never be a real, a real movement to put America first until politicians put themselves second.
Kat much was made of Donald Trump not draining the swamp his first time in office. I think he learned a lot of lessons about who to put around him, and I think we're seeing that instead of having the junior varsity as the cabinet, he's looking at the varsity this time around. But having said that, there's only so much a president can do. If members of Congress want to bring the fire hose and just load the swamp back up with water, they're certainly capable of doing that absolutely.
I mean, we all talk about taking away the pen and phone. You know, Obama famously said he didn't need Congress, he had a pen.
In a phone.
Well we've seen how well that works out. Trump had to, unfortunately do a lot of his work via executive order, and Biden was able to just dismantle it with the stroke of a pen. So you need Congress. And that's why I have spent the last two years chriss crossing the country like Carmen San Diego, raising money for candidates, doing everything I can to help secure the House for
President Trump. And what I am hearing now is people are more concerned for their political careers and they're saying, Hey, maybe I should go to the administration. Hey maybe I should do this, Hey maybe I should do that. Hey I have an idea. How about we actually do the work that we all campaigned on and said we were going to do. How about we reduce the size of the government. How about we start draining the swamp and getting rid of the unelected, nameless, faceless beercrafts. Why don't
we fix health care. We don't have health care, we have sick care. When are we going to address inflation?
What are we going to get energy back online? These are all things that we campaigned on, and so if we don't get right to business in the first one hundred days, I don't see this going the way that President Trump wants it, and we need it, and the American people should demand it, and they should be asking their member of Congress what the hell are you doing to make sure that the America First Agenda is getting underway.
It is absolutely furiating that we're on day one and we can't seem to get it together.
Congresswoman, don't be surprised if you if you see a link emailed to you about a petition that someone that you know and are talking to right now is putting together.
You got it more than nobody.
You're my hero.
Thanks Kat, Thank you guys, have a great week.
Thank you you as well. Bless you, and I mean that sincerely, bless you. Unfiltered raw truth. This is why I have her on the show, because you just heard things others are not willing to say. She doesn't give a rat's rear end about appointments and committees. And trust me, she'll be in committees because she's too good at what she does. But that's the type of people we need fighting for us in Congress twenty eight minutes past the hour. The rest of you take notes.
Foot line is on fire, that full line is on fire. Coverd woman can't Cammick sound news O.
Phone line on far.
Joining us Sal Newso.
Hello, good morning to you, sir. How are you today?
I am just boy terrific. I don't know if you caught that visit with Kat Camick. The dirty dealings inside Washington come as no surprise to you. I know it just saddens me. It just saddens me greatly. But I asked if you would come on Sal because Donald Trump has tapped Florida's congressional caucus, and I'm just I'd love to know your thoughts and what you think is likely
to happen in the wake of all of this. Which is more significant Marco Rubio Secretary of State or trying to get Matt Gates confirmed as Attorney General.
Well, I think that the confirmation process for Senator Rubio to become Secretary of State is largely going to be very straightforward and seamless. I don't anticipate any kind of concerns rising there. And with that one, that seat the governors that we've mentioned on some of the prior shows that have been on. The governor would have the ability or will have the ability to appoint whoever he chooses to fill that vacancy for the two years until that seat is up. And so you've got a lot of
potential dominoes falling there with the congressional vacancies. And you've got too, you've got Congressman Mike Waltz, which is actually ironically a governor DeSantis is prior congressional seat. And you've got now Matt Gates. The governor's got to declare two special elections for those, and there's already talk from him as well as Secretary of State Court Bird that they're not going to waste any time. They're going to get
the schedule up within the next day or two. And I believe they're looking at a minimum of a ninety day window because you do have to have the primary in the general, so you have to allow for both of those.
All right, before we dive a little deeper into each of the bigger appointments, I mean, look, Michael Walla's National security advisor makes a lot of sense. I just want to get your thoughts the fact that he's already having to deal with, meaning the governor and President Trump. I mean, they're kind of linked at the hip on this one because Trump needs to maintain the majority in the House.
So you've got Waltz's seat, You've got Gates' seat. Does that immediately rule out any other member of Florida's congressional caucus for that Senate seat.
I don't think it necessarily rules anyone out from the United States Congress currently in Florida for the seat. However, I'm not hearing a whole lot of chatter from friends and colleagues, and there's anyone in the congressional delegation that's kind of either buying for it or on the shortlist at this point. I will say that, you know, last night it became clear that the Republicans will maintain the
majority at two eighteen. But that's a very narrow majority. Now, both the Waltz district and the Matt Gates district are reliably conservative, so they're almost certainly going to go Republican. But you've got the Speaker wanting to make sure that he can begin to enact a you know, one hundred day agenda for the President. And get rolling on a lot of policy matters and legislation, So they're definitely going to look at trying to get both of those seats filled as quickly as possible.
Salnuzo with me from Consumer's Defense where he's the executive director. He is tapped into all things Florida and a lot of stuff inside the beltweigh as well. More to come here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's the m a d Radio Network where we challenge you to make a difference in your world.
The Morning Show Preston Scott forty one minutes past the hour and with Salnuzo of Consumers Defense South before we switch back to the Attorney General Matt Gates and his decision to resign, which was just shocking to me, but I get it. In the big broad picture of things, does the entire decision on who to a point really revolve around whether or not Ron De Santis wants that US Senate seat himself in two years.
I don't think it's the only calculation, but it's certainly something that I think is in folks heads in terms of the governor will turn out In January of twenty twenty seven, and if he does in fact want to run again for president in twenty twenty eight, there's a three hundred and sixty five day window where he would need to be, you know, kind of staying in front of individuals and staying relevant to the national kind of dialogue. And so it's definitely in the lexicon of where he's
kind of maneuvering around the decision. But I don't think it's the only thing. I do believe that there are you know, incredibly qualified folks. I mean, you could probably make a case for any one of the other cabinet members Wilton Simpson, Ashley Moody or CFO Jimmy Petronis to take it over. There's also an argument to be made for his cheapest AFT, James Upmyer, who's an attorney, a you know, a great individual and would be a great public servant in that capacity as well.
I have I have heard it mentioned on more than one occasion that if Ron de Santis decide to just lay out because he almost has to wait and see what happens with jd Vance, doesn't he because jd Vance is the de facto next nominee for the GOP unless he stumbles and makes mistakes, and I think there's a calculus out there that says, look, DeSantis can wait twelve years if he wants to, because he'd still be a young guy at fifty six. If he wants to run, then.
Oh, certainly. The decision on that would also come down to how would he remain a part of the kind of the public service process over the course of those years in order to make himself a viable candidate, whether it's eight or twelve years down the road. So, yeah, a whole lot of decision making. And I will throw out an interesting name that nobody has mentioned, and it popped into my head yesterday, and I'm just going to toss it out there on the off that I happen
to nail it, and that is Casey DeSantis. I don't know if she's on the short list. I don't know if it's ever been discussed, but it's one where you know, there is a case to be made that she could be a very good steward of that seat. For if it's only two years or even into reelection, she is a viable candidate in her own right.
Let's switch for a couple of minutes to the Attorney General. A listener friend of mine, who I consider to be a pretty insightful guy when it comes to the political world because he's operated in and around it for years.
He points out that Eric Holder was named Attorney General by Obama and promptly cleared out every even possible conservative from the Department of Justice, I mean, wiped him out, and that ultimately Matt Gates might be the perfect pick to an essence, reverse all of that in the Department of Justice, and one would have to think the only way he resigns his seat is if he knows he's got the job right.
That was my initial thought. I was, as many others were fairly surprised about the selection. He was not on. I have not heard from anybody that Matt Gates was on their short list of folks that might be nominated. With that being said, the subsequent decision by Gates to immediately resign his seat was another kind of oh wow moment in that process. I'm with you that I could not imagine Matt Gates resigning that seat. He is an incredibly astute political operator.
I can't imagine.
Yeah, I can't imagine him resigning it if they had not already figured out effectively the wipcount on senators for the vote. With that being said, you're already seeing Republican senators expressing profound concerns with that selection. So this one kind of throws the entire nomination process for the cabinet into a kind of an exciting, exciting cauldron.
Oh man, this is just craziness. All right, Sal, you're my friend. Thank you, buddy.
Always a pleasure to be with you.
President, Thank you, Sir Salnuzoh with Consumer's defense. So there you go. You know what I know? See that that's how I am. I hold nothing, I hold little back from you. Forty seven minutes past the alley, Today's show is fire. Just was an we were good, we were good together. We were good. Your email is bearing that out. See this is why I forge relationships with certain people
and not so much with others. We'll have a long talk one day about stuff, but for now, my thanks to Kat and Sal and all of you, of course. But tomorrow we're off.
