Heading a my fans, it is.
I glad to be with you.
Eh.
Happy Thanksgiving Week Morning show with Preston Scotland. Preston he goes, Hey, I will be here today and tomorrow, Grant will be here Wednesday. No one will be here Thursday or Friday, but I'll be back Monday.
So yeah, I'm kind of fired up.
I got a two day work week, even though it's really not work any day that I do this, it just isn't.
I'm so fortunate anyway, Hi, how are you great?
To be with you? I'm pretty fired up today. Got to see my brand new granddaughter on Friday afternoon and evening. If you missed the.
Story on.
Friday on the show, My best and worst of the week was the same thing. The worst of the week was that we were supposed to be able to be with with my daughter when she gave birth, but they moved up the C section to first thing Friday morning, and I just couldn't make the arrangements to change things
up so shortly before the end of the show. On Friday, my little sweet granddaughter was born seven pounds, two ounces and nineteen and a half inches, and I got to hold that beautiful little girl, and yeah, man, you just God is just so amazing. Our verse today comes from John ten, verse thirty. It says, I and my father are one. You know, when it's all said and done, you have to reconcile that. You have to figure that out. You have to make the decision whether you accept that
or not. There are a lot of faiths out there that will say really good and nice things about Jesus, But when you.
Get around to.
Jesus is the Son of God, and the only way to heaven and eternity with God is through Christ.
And that's it. There are no do overs.
He wasn't just a really good guy.
He wasn't just a prophet.
No, No, I and my father are one.
Ten Past the Hours, The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Audio Magazine, a journey into whatever is left of journalism and always pointing out and correcting what is not. The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Writing a new entry in the American Patriots Almanac for Friday, A little sweet granddaughter gets her name, But in my Almanac, it's November seventeen fifty eight, during the French and Indian War. The British troops defeat the French at Fort Cain and what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, seventeen eighty three, British withdrawal from New York City, their last military stronghold in the United States before are during the Revolutionary War. Boy, and
they thought they I'm telling you read the book. Put it on your Christmas list if you love the history of the birth of this nation. Washington's Secret six.
Yeah.
Don Jeger co authored that book with Brian Kilmead, and it is absolutely brilliant and it really a lot of the story focuses around New York City and yeah, it's very, very good stuff. Nineteen twenty in Philadelphia, Gimbles Department store begins what is now the nation's oldest annual Thanksgiving Day is Thanksgiving Day Parade. So it was Gimbals and Macy's. Now it's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and has been for a very long time. Gimbals, I don't know Gimbals
was absorbed by Macy's or had just closed down. Famously, the two stores are featured in one of my top five Christmas movies of all time, Miracle on thirty Fourth Street. The original, the original, not the remake. The original it's just outstanding. Nineteen sixty three, John F. Kennedy his bodies laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. And in nineteen eighty six, the Iran Contra affair begins as President Reagan reveals that proceeds of secret arms sales to Iran had
been used to aid Nicaraguan contras. That was a very dark time for Reagan. It was one of the few bad moments of the Reagan presidency, but that was in fact one of them. All Right, Today on the program, we will we'll talk Turkey, not literally but figuratively. We'll talk about Thanksgiving and pull in some historical content for you as it relates to Thanksgiving. My challenge is, of course, to make this part of your dinner table conversation. We'll get to all of that. Doctor Joe will join us.
I've decided this is going to be my last Sons of Thunder segment today. Here's why I do a devotional every morning. My challenge is going to be, if you miss it, go listen. I think that I've made my point on what needs to happen, and I'm going to make a final point today from our church service yesterday, really good teaching and second Kings.
But I want to.
I want to just push everybody to that early segment at six oh five in the morning Eastern time, five oh five Central, and if you miss it, go back and listen to the podcast and check out the devotional.
We do a devotional.
Tiny one on Friday, but Fridays is you know, if you listen live, you get a pray song, some kind of song about Jesus, something cool and put something in your heart, some music that's a little different for many of you that don't listen to Christian music. But I do devotional every morning and that ought to do. That ought to do for you to get you going, get you jump started, get your battery charged. And so I have come to the conclusion that I'm going to I'm
going to just rely on that early morning segment. So today will be the last time I do the suns of Thunder segment. And then in the second third hour, we've got our Chaffelle joining us, and I have a special guest, and we will reveal our Operation Thanksgiving and Spirit of Christmas project.
All at once. We're rolling them all together.
And yeah, very excited because this particular project happens to have a footprint in Tallahassee and in Panama City. So there you go, sixteen seventeen past the hour. Really good stuff Today on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, we've lost a legend. No, it's true. Game show host Chuck Woolry passed away over the weekend at the age of eighty three. That is way too young. See, those are the things that you say when you're in your sixties.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Pumped the brakes here, way, that's early. Here's what a lot of people, a lot of you know the name.
Chuck Woolry.
Was a game show phenom, but he came across as just one of the most genuinely likable human beings on the planet. Apparently the backstory is he appeared on the old MERV Griffin Show. And what a lot of you may or may not know is MERV Griffin is.
The guy of game shows.
He was the creator originator of a ton of the biggest game shows ever on television. You dig up big game shows and you'll find MERV Griffin as the creator of those shows. And Chuck Woolery apparently showed up to sing on his show and after the show. He asked him, Hey, you want to host the program, and he said, well, sure, I'll give it a run, And it went through a little bit of massaging, and on January sixth, nineteen seventy five, it debuted on NBC. It was called Wheel of Fortune.
Chuck Woolery was the original host of Wheel of Fortune. He eventually wanted to raise He wanted to be paid what Peter Marshall was making on Hollywood Squares, which was five hundred thousand dollars a year. MERV Griffin rejected the request and replaced him with Pat Sajak, and that was that. Chuck would be the h He was a veteran of the US Navy. He was a Second Amendment guy. He was a libertarian, constitutionalist, our kind of guy, Saul of
the Earth, God, loving love, Jesus. He was not just the host of Wheel of Fortune, the original, but he was host of Love Connection, Love Connection. He was just renowned for being so comfortable in sort of a modernized version of I think it was called the match game or the dating The dating game?
Is that what it is? Yeah? I think that was it. I think that was it.
Jim Lang did Jim Lang the Dating game, someone will correct me or tell me I'm right. But anyway, yeah, iconic name in the air of game shows. I remember when on those occasions when I would be sick from school, what made it better was turning on TV and watching the game shows in the morning. You'd watch the cartoons first thing in the morning, because they would always have cartoon shows on before the kids went to school.
But for me, I didn't really.
I wasn't so much into Romper Room and the Mickey Mouse Club. It was hardcore cartoons, Warner Brothers, Bugs, Bunny, you know that kind of stuff.
And Saturday morning cartoons, of.
Course were just the best Saturday morning cartoons back in the day, eating your cereal and getting sold every toy on the planet, and the commercials and and then the you know a Captain Kangaroo of course. But mornings, if you were sick, you're sleeping and then you wake up and you're like, okay, I'm just on here on the couch sick game shows.
Baby.
How many of us grew up watching the Prices right with Bob Barker and getting annoyed even back then at the pricing game when that guy would someone would bid you know a thousand, fifteen hundred dollars and someone would go one thousand and fifteen hundred and one loser that game where you couldn't go over so soing, Well, they're playing the game to win.
Whatever to that.
Anyway, twenty seven past the hour, come back, big stories in the press box. A major theme coming up. Basking in the win of Florida State football. Yeah, against a subdivision team, but it's a win.
We'll take it.
Shocked at the departure of FSU soccer from the women's tournament, got beat in penalty kicks on Saturday Friday night, shocking. They did not play their best and I would argue that a headbutt by Vanderbilt player into the face of Jordan Dudley, which I believe Broker knows.
Boy. I hope that wasn't intentional because it took.
Her out of the game, and I believe it made a difference in the penalties. But anyway, or if not, keeping it from going to penalties, because that girl's perhaps the best soccer player in America. But at any rate, good weekend for FAMU football win over Bethune Cookman. FAMU volleyball wins the SWACK title for the third year out of the last four.
So FSU has Florida coming to town. We'll talk about that in a little bit.
My Green Bay Packers won my Liverpool Red's one. So it's a good weekend for football American and European or world football overall for my teams. Big stories in the press box House Judiciary report.
This is.
Pretty alarming. At least thirty thousand illegal immigrants with violent records have been coming into the country a month using a loophole created by the Biden Harris administration. Here's why they haven't been getting caught at the southern border, because they're being flown into the country and they're coming directly to our airports. And at last count, five hundred and thirty one thousand Cubans, Haitians and nick Groguins and Venezuelans have done just that.
As of September, half a million.
Granted parole up to two years by Alejandro Majorcus. Now, I could take a second here and go ahead and tell you the story of yet another not murder in this case, but rape of a fourteen year old. In this case, I wonder if the employer who had this Venezuelan living in his home to help him out who is here illegally. I wonder if the employer feels bad since his daughter was raped.
This is.
In my opinion, I think the parents and the families of these of these victims need to personally sue Alejandro Mayorcus and personally sue Joe Biden, and personally sue Kamala Harris. And that's fine. Most of it will get kicked out because they're protected. They have a degree of sovereign immunity as elected officials or as government officials. But they're violating the laws of this country, and they are aiding and
embedding the commission of these crimes. And I think that I think they had to just faced the lawsuit if for no other reason the publicity. Thankfully, Immigrations and custom enforcement across the country have made it very clear they're going to follow Donald Trump. They're not They're not going to obey governors in states and cities trying to create protected status. Amazingly, the mayor of Denver this this case that I was telling you about, with this guy raping
this employer's daughter. This and she's fourteen, by the way, The mayor, Mike Johnston said that if the Feds come to Denver, It'll be a Tianaman Square moment more than us having Denver Police Department stationed at the county line to keep them out. You would have fifty thousand Denverites there. It's like the Tienaman Square moment with the rose and the gun. Right, you'd have every one of those Highland
moms come out for the immigrants. You don't want to mess with them, you think so, Mayor, you think so. I'll take that bet. I will take that bet. And your moms aren't showing up. Brother, you are so wrong about this, and that would be another situation. I'd sue the mayor. I'd sue everybody that's allowing this type of ridiculousness to happen. Trump is right, we need mass deportations. He wants to put an end to birthright citizenship.
Good.
You know what's interesting is if an ambassador in this country married, his wife gives birth, his child's not a citizen of this country. Her child's not a citizen of this country. Their child's a citizen of where they are from. Because they're on this soil doesn't make them a citizen. If someone's in this country illegally and they give birth, that child creation of God is a citizen of the country where those parents came from, not this one. This
is going to get nasty. Forty one minutes after the hour, and anyone opposing this is just wrong. Forty three passed the hour. Some jumbo paper clip stuff here. I don't want a bunch of stuff hanging around over the extended break of Thanksgiving.
I want a clean slate when I come back, so I want to get through as much of this as I can.
President elect Donald Trump sentencing scheduled for November twenty six, which would have been tomorrow, indefinitely postponed. According to Judge Juan Marshaw, he should be kicked off the bench for the type of trial he ran, bullied Trump's defense team. He did not allow witnesses that the defense who does that material witnesses to rebut contradict testimony offered by prosecutors.
No what, reminding you.
That the charges are in essence made up, They didn't exist.
They had to resurrect and.
These laws and apply them improperly to Trump to try to create a case.
Reminding you there is no financial.
Victim, no bank, no entity was out at any money, No one was owed any money. No one is claiming any kind of fraud against him, no business, no accusation of any kind other than by the prosecutor that said that the payment to I think it was Stormy Daniels should have been.
A campaign payment. No, it shouldn't.
Anyway, Two intelligent intelligence inspectors general have quit since the Trump election, the inspector generals for the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Isn't that interesting? That's just interesting. Biden handed over another two hundred and thirty million taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians. The total given so far is more than two billion dollars spent to fund the Palestinians.
Since they sorry about that.
I normally hit the button, but I covered it up with all my papers.
I'm so sorry. That was rude anyway. M yeah, so.
Hamas attacks Israel and we've spent two billion dollars in humanitarian aid for the people that started this whole thing, and oh, by the way, put sanctions on Israel. Biden is determined to do as much damage as he can before being kicked out of the White House. More evidence, Commerce Secretary Gina Rimando. They are going to try to spend every bit of its fifty billion dollars subsidy program on microchips as humanly possible by January nineteenth.
They're gonna spend us.
They're gonna keep spending money, as much money as possible to leave Trump as little as possible. Forty seven minutes after some funny, hilarious but not next while we are seeing real life consequences for young female athletes with the lunacy of transgenderism. I never thought I would see it get this far because I thought more people would wake up to what I've been telling you needed to happen.
Don't compete against them. But unfortunately, the Mountain West Conference inside the NCAA Women's volleyball is being pigheaded and they're allowing a guy to play for San Jose State University, and teams are forfeiting. And now we're in the tournament and teams are forfeiting, and they have said if a team forfeits, we will crown San Jose State Universe the champion of the conference and they'll get the automatic birth to the NCAAs. So a man will be playing against women,
and he's an arrogant bleep. Now he's he's he's, yeah, yeah, he's. I'm not advocating it. I'm not saying he ought to be punched in the face. I'm saying he's that type of person that is so arrogant you want to punch him in the face. Make no mistake, he's a dude, and there's lawsuits pending. Biden appointed judge is gonna hear it first. So I'm not expecting an emergency anything in this, But I just want to get to a couple other stories on the ridiculousness of where this is.
You ever heard of the l Leshe League. The l Leshe League is.
An organization founded to encourage women to breastfeed their children, and one of the original founders has resigned them from the organization because the organization is now insisting on including men. Ninety four year old Marian Thompson declared that the group has become quoting a travesty of my original intent. From an organization with a specific mission of supporting biological women who want to give their babies the best start in
life by breastfeeding them. LL's focus has subtly shifted to include men who, for whatever reason, want to have the experience of breastfeeding despite no careful long term research on male lactation and how that may affect the baby. Mary May, trustee for ll in Great Britain, also resigned, stating she is unwilling to assist men quote to perform a poor imitation of breastfeeding.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it on the on.
The rare chance there's some dude out there that thinks you ought to be breastfeeding a child. You're you're mentally ill, and you need help. I say that empathetically. You need mental health. Want proof. How about Zooey Zephyr. He is a pretend female state representative in the Montana House of Representatives, quoting, we trans women are as biologically female as cists women. Trans women are women, full stop. He's not even a good looking guy.
Let alone. Never mind.
House Speaker Mike Johnson. Restrooms are reserved for individuals of that biological sex. That's what's happening in the House, and that's good. But this is a member of the state House mentally ill people. We're trying to normalize. This not gonna happen. Wouldn't be Pruden Our number two of the Morning Show with Preston Scott short week for yours truly here today and tomorrow. Grant Allen will be in on Wednesday with Jose and then we're all going to be
home with our families. Well, some of you will be traveling, some of us will be traveling. I won't be traveling. I will be home, be just fired up. We don't have any of the kids with us this year, and that's a first I can't think of if that's ever happened before. So we're gonna just do a very modest I'm cooking a turkey breast on the grill. I will brin it. I will do everything like normal. I just will not have the stuffing inside the bird, not stuffing stuffing,
but the aromatics. Normally, I have, you know, everything from celery and carrots and rosemary and thyme and garlic and jalapano's and all different things stuffed inside the bird. And so as it cooks, it's oh, the smell is just incredible. But we're gonna keep it real simple. But rather than talking turkey in this segment, I thought would be useful. I want to I want to make the I wanted to make the time to create an environment for you around the Thanksgiving table to have a discussion that it
just skirts the edges of politics. And what I wanted to talk about was, and I've discussed this at different times over the years, the story of the Pilgrims at Thanksgiving, the Thanksgiving tradition, and the real story is not so much about the Native American Indians, which is a significant story. They played a role in helping the Pilgrims settle in and figure out how to survive and thrive, helping them.
It wasn't so much the American Indians though, it was a decision to embrace what would become a free market principle better than a century and a half before Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations. What I'm proposing you do is start, everyone's got their food, and you're just kind of chit chatting, and maybe you're talking a little, you know, how's everybody doing, catching up on the family, And at some point, obviously you hopefully are praying and
being thankful for what you have. But at some point I want to challenge you to say, did you know that when the Pilgrims first came to North America they tried communism? And you might need to immediately insert communal living by communists, you know, sort of a you do know that communism is about communal living. That's where it all roots itself, One for all and all for one.
Governor William Bradford wrote, and I have printed out here several excerpts of history of Plymouth Plantation circus sixteen fifty, written by.
William Bradford.
I've got his original writing here, as printed on the Mayflower from sixteen twenty, How they sought a place of habitation from sixteen twenty, the Mayflower Compact, the Treaty with the Indians dated sixteen twenty one, the new Governor, first Marriage sixteen twenty one, First Harvest sixteen twenty one, and then an interesting set of entries from sixteen twenty three entitled private and Communal Farming. We're gonna get into that next.
Did you know the Pilgrims tried communism when they first came here? That story next ten pasted the hour It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott for Adam Smith ever wrote the Wealth of Nations. Pilgrim were learning a lesson, writing in his diary and writing of the difficulties that they were facing. Governor William Bradford painted a picture of destitution.
Settlers were struggling. They were selling their clothes and bed coverings for food, while others quote became servants to the Indians, cutting wood and fetching water in exchange for a capful of corn. The most desperate among them starved. Bradford recounted in his notes how one settler, in gathering shellfish along the store quote along the shore, was so weak he stuck fast in the mud and was found dead in the place. The colonies' leaders identified the source of the problem.
It's what Bradford called communism. That's quote communism. Property in Plymouth Colony, he observed, was communally owned and cultivated. The system quote taking away the property and bringing it into a commonwealth read confusion and discontent, and retarded much employment that would have been to the benefit and comfort of the settlers. The most able and fit young men in Plymouth thought it was an injustice that they were paid the same as those not able to do a quarter
of what they could. Women viewed the communal chores that they were required to perform for others who were not working as a form of slavery. On the brink of extermination, the colony leaders changed course. They allotted a parcel of land to each settler, hoping the private ownership of farmland
would encourage self sufficiency. What Bradford wrote in his notes in sixteen twenty three, at length, after much debate of things, the governor, with the advice of the chiefest among them, gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves in all other thing to go in the general way as before, And so assigned to every family a parcel of land according to the proportion of their number, for that end only for present use, ranged all boys in
youth under some family, and they had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious. What they learned is agricultural abundance. In sixteen twenty three. It allowed them to establish permanent roots, because they forced everybody to fend for themselves to a large extent. Bradford was a religious guy.
He saw the hand of God in their economic recovery, writing the success may well evance the vanity of that conceit that the taking away of property would make men happy and flourishing, as if they were wiser than God. God and his wisdom saw another course fitter for them.
I want this to be potentially a discussion around your table because a lot of today's political leaders, on both sides of the aisle, but mostly on the left, have this blind faith that government should be the arbiter of all things, that investors will take risks and create jobs no matter how punitive taxes may be, and that somehow lowering that burden through tax reductions gives a windfall to the rich and deprives the government of the revenue that
it requires to run. That's why I'm excited about cutting government. Cut the tax burden. The nation will flourish. And the point of bringing this up at Thanksgiving is bounty. Isn't it fascinating that four centuries later, sixteen twenty three, it's twenty twenty four, four hundred and one year later, we still have people that are sitting around the Thanksgiving table with the idea that communal living is the way to go, not having learned the lesson that was learned in sixteen
twenty three. That's why I'm begging you make it a topic. Did you know the Pilgrims tried communism and it failed. It's still failing, Russia, China, North Korea, Thenezuela, all our nations of want. Yes, China, It's people can't consume what it produces. They don't have the money because they don't very much. Seventeen passed The Hour Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Oh, how well you know me? I started getting email last week? President? Did you know the McRib is coming back?
Yes, I proudly admit I am a McRib fanatic. Give me a McRib with no onions and no pickles and send me home happy. That's all I need, buddy.
Ah. And I've had people say, well, you know you can get those just at the store. No, you can't. What you call mcribs.
And I know it's just pressed pork that they press it in such a way to make it look like they're little riblets.
I get it.
I get it.
I don't care. I don't slather that burbecue sauce on it. Put it on that nice soft, kind of sort of kind of hogy and come to Papa. But my friends, we have something special to announce. Not only.
Does the McRib make its return one week from today on December third, limited time only, and you know what. As much as I would love for it to be year round, I'm good with it being at the holidays, after the Thanksgiving. If they at least let it go through Christmas, I am absolutely okay with that.
I really am.
Limited engagement, limited amounts of.
Coveting the food.
Just I mean gorging myself on a McRib Now, I am very capable of ordering four mcribs and eating them. I won't, but I'm capable. I'm absolutely capable. But here's the other part.

Today at ten am East, you can go to Whole Lotta Mcribsauce dot com, Whole Lota mcribsauce dot com and for nineteen ninety nine online only, you can get a half gallon of the barbecue sauce.

L ott A mcribsauce dot com All one word, a whole lot of mccribsauce dot com.
Ten am this morning, nineteen ninety nine. Now, don't buy me.
Any No, don't, don't, seriously, seriously, do not do that. Here's why I have no room in my fridge. I got nowhere to put it. And once you open up a half gallon of anything, you gotta be able to refrigerate it. And trust me, when I order a McRib I'm like and slatterer that bad boy up. I want it to be where I eat it. And I can't put the sandwich down because it's too messy. And it's like,

I'm not someone you can come visit to do that. I appreciate it, and sweet goodness almighty, don't mail me any twenty eight minutes past the hour, the mcgribs are coming back, baby, and this is not a paid for promotion, because Joe, I'm standing by just a few moments, Irish Chaffell.
Next hour.
Also next hour, we will reveal who we're going to try to help out this holiday season. The Mad Radio Network another make a Difference opportunity for you, and that comes up again next hour. But the big stories in the press box, Immigration, Customs and Enforcement made an announcement while announcing the arrest of a wanted illegal immigrant in
upstate New York. The men and women of enforcement and removal operations will continue to protect our communities from dangerous offenders, regardless of what the Governor of New York State says. Signals are being sent across the country that they're not going to be listening to what politicians have to say. They're going to enforce federal law as it relates to
illegal immigrants. This particular arrestee was wanted for the strangulation and endangering the welfare of a child in the United States. This same person is under investigation in Brazil for several crimes, including homicide. This is part of the bigger story in the press box that the Biden Harris administration has now allowed better than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and others into this country with known violent criminal records.
And they've done it through a loophole. You're wondering, well, why didn't they get caught at the border. Well, first, we already know that many don't get caught at the border. They're called gotaways. But what you might not know that a new report from the House Judiciary Committee found is that illegals wanted for sex trafficking and other various violent crimes the loophole. They're being flown into this country, into
our airports. They're not going through the the Nation of Mexico and caravans.
No.
No, they're being flown in at taxpayer expense. You'd think we'd have something set up that kind of weeds him out at the gate of the country of origin. But no, And this is happening without congressional authorization. They're granted up to two years of what's called granted parole by the Department of Homeland Security. That's how we have the Lake and Riley stories of this world. That's how we have in Colorado a Venezuelan who sexually assaulted the daughter of
his employer. He's living in his employer's basement in their home. To just help him out because you know, he's an illegal immigrant that needs shelter.
He raped his fourteen year old daughter.
I'm mentioning this story because having Donald Trump in office isn't enough. It's about demanding that Congress do what the voters of this country are demanding.
Because even those that didn't vote for Trump.
Support our immigration policies being reformed and changed and our border being closed. I think the number was close to seventy percent. This is I think that the Biden administration, including Joe Kamala and Alejandro Mayorkis of Homeland Security, should be sued by families that are being victimized.
That's my personal conviction. Forty minutes past the.
Hour, Come back with Doctor Joe on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Forty one past the hour, Let's get to it, Doctor Joe Camps joins us On mondays a little healthy expectation or you, sir.
I'm feeling better, Preston. At least we won football game this past weekend. That's all I'm gonna say about that. I'm getting a little bit better.
How much does that have to do with football and basketball getting off to a good start up?
Oh, basketball looks pretty good. I'm hopeful we need something good around here. I've got some more good news for our seniors. Medicare open enrollment is beginning. And you know, one of the things that I don't know if everybody is aware of, but one of the major changes in twenty twenty five includes a new two thousand dollars out of pocket expense for prescription drugs. Now, this is often referred to as the donut hole, and you've probably heard
people talk about that. Whether the donut hole used to be about eight thousand dollars. So this is going to be a tremendous savings for our adults. And unfortunately, we were aware that many people weren't able to to buy their prescription drugs, so they were without their medications until they can get through this time period. But in twenty twenty five, that's the one good piece of news that
I really have that I'm really excited about. And you know, a person, I don't know if you're approaching that Medicare, but I have Medicare and I share her to think about it, the fact that I'm over sixty five. But certainly for those that have difficulty with meeting the challenge of prescription jugs, this is a great news and look forward to that. And I'm seeing more people being able to afford their medications, and so that's my good news.
Other than that I won't need to have a psychiatric bill for pavement for my nerves dealing with this football team this year, but I was happy they won, and come on basketball, we look pretty good and I hope we continue on our winning streak and that that manner.
So hey, job Preston.
This is going to be my last morning news until the new year, Okay, but I want to wish all of our listeners a happy new year, Merry Christmas and happy Thanksgiving or spend time with the family and pushback. Don't gain that five or six pounds with the big sugar over the next several weeks. But my congratulations to everybody on this past year and looking forward to next year and for more greater things to come.
Hey, let me ask you one question in parting on the subject that you brought up this morning, doctor Camps, based on your experience, when, whether it's senior adults or just someone in general is struggling to afford the medication that's being prescribed, how often is that taken into consideration and they try to find other ways of treating a condition.
Well, you know, unfortunately, you know, sometimes the treatment requires the medication that's prescribed for that individual, and there are some self help programs, but if you've ever had to sift through that, that can be troublesome, and most of the time, unfortunately, present people just go without. There's so much resistance in the insurance business, as you will know,
getting things paid for sometimes can be very challenging. And unfortunately, I have to report that when I used to ask some of my patients, they basically said, couldn't afford it, didn't take the medication, have not been on the medication. So unfortunately, that's usually the path that this follows.
Joe, Thanks very much, Happy Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, and Happy Thanksgiving. We'll do it in reverse order earlier as well, so thanks for the time.
Oh, thank you, sir, and I'll look forward to starting up next year.
Thank you very much.
Doctor Joe camps with us healthy expectations.
By No Joe, we'll start the year with losing weight. Forty six minutes.
Past yes.
Final time for the Sons of Thunder segment.
I'm gonna redirect everybody to the start of the show, but I'm gonna end with something that was shared by my pastor at church yesterday. We're doing a expository study of the books of Kings.
First and second.
And in Second King's nineteen yesterday we got to something that's sort of titled Hezekiah's Prayer, and in Tewod Kings nineteen, verse fourteen, it begins Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it.
Now, these were messengers.
Of the King of Assyria, basically saying you're done. We are going to ruin you. We're taking your land, we're taking your cities. We've conquered a bunch of them already, and we're coming for you. Hezekiah received the letter, read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord.
He took the letter.
He literally spread it out on the ground, on the floor, and he prayed before the Lord. He said, Oh Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the Cherubim, You are the God. Are you alone of all the kingdoms of the earth you have made heaven and earth. Incline your ear, O Lord, And here open your eyes, O Lord, and see and hear the words of Senecab which he has sent to mock the Living God. Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assiria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
and have cast their gods into the fire. And they were not gods but the works of men's hands, wood and stone.
Therefore they were destroyed.
So now, O Lord, our God, save us please from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, o Lord, are God alone. Here's what that's what this indicates.
Now.
First of all, God heard that prayer, and he answered. But what I think is important that Marshall, our pastor, pointed out yesterday that I want to underscore as this is our final Sons of Thunder segment, reminding you that this segment was birthed out of if you're gonna if you're gonna say you're a Christian, act like it, and here's how you act like it. What you learn about Hezekiah is really important. He knows God because he reads scripture. He knew what he knew about God because he read
the Old Testament scriptures. They were an Old Testament to him. They were scriptures about God, by God of God. Point number one, you need to know God's word. Point number two. He laid everything out.
This is what I'm facing. This was a real prayer. He's almost acknowledging. I'm a most scared.
I have no one to turn to, nothing to do except turn to you. I am putting this all in front of you. Literally laid it out. You see this, and he prayed. Point one knowing God's word. Point two, pray. If you spend time in scripture reading God's word, quit making excuses.
Just do it. Take some time.
I'm I'm ending this segment here because I'm determined to get as many of you up early listening at six am when I start this show and I do a five minute devotional that hopefully will jumpstart you into digging a little deeper, learning a little more. Man, turn my show off and pray. He can come back and listen to me anytime. Listening to God's infinitely more important listening to me.
Any news I talk about doesn't.
Mean a thing unless you have God at your side, unless God goes before you and comes after you.
So there you go, come back.
Iris Chafelle joins us next third hour of the Morning.
Show with Preston Scott.
It's the third hour of the Morning Show with preston' skuy in Morning Friends. I'm Preston, He's Ose and for only the second time this year, we're going to talk about a win for the Florida State football team with Irischaffelloworchat dot com.
Good morning, Ira.
It's like you saw the future, Preston when you told me we're going to take a couple of weeks off and come back on this day.
Well, you and I both looked at the calendar after way it started and thought, well, surely they're going to win one.
Hey. Nice thing about winning that game was you doubled your wind total. How often can you do that in November?
You know that's true?
And seriously, let's set aside it's a Subdivision FCS team. The things that didn't really matter who was on the other side, of the ball, though, I guess you could argue that a better team might bring about more mental mistakes and penalties. The team played better, didn't they.
Yeah, I think so, and we you know, and I watched most of the practices where the media is allowed to watch a lot of the practices, and I'll tell you that, you know, like the touchdown to start the second half, seventy one yard pass touch Ky Douglas. They haven't completed a lot of those in practice, you know, so there was another team on the other side of the field, and you know, so they were able to execute some things. As you said, they had less penalties.
They had no drop passes, which is a big thing because that's been a constant problem for this team. So yeah, I think And when you consider the fact that they just fired three assistant coaches, including both coordinators during a one to nine season, the fact that they were able to come out and play a relatively clean game, I think is certainly a positive. Now, nothing to change what we thought about the season, but yeah, I think it's worth noting it's positive.
What do you make of the fact that the while there were some absurd penalties like offensive players committing face masking penalties just blows my mind. But the offensive line didn't have a bunch of holding calls. They didn't have a bunch of you know, procedures, early starts, none of that stuff that's the most aggravating of penalties didn't really happen in that game. What do you make of that, given that the offensive line coach was no more.
Yeah, I don't know. You know, the holding certainly is one that you know you're going to have more that it gets better competition, right, because if you get beat, that's going to lead to more of those. But yeah, I do think you know, procedure, the fact that there were fewer procedure penalties and in false starts, I think
it's definitely a positive. You know. I do think one thing that I you know, I noticed from Mike Norvel after he made the changes on the staff was I felt like he and I think we may have talked about it, he seemed to be a little bit relieved about, you know, at least knowing, Okay, this is this didn't work. We're we're all admitting it, and we're moving in a new direction. It may have had that impact on some of the players too, because I know that they've been
under a world of stress all seasons. So maybe when when they hear that a bunch of coaches are being fired, maybe that gives them a chance to kind of relax and realize, Okay, it's not all our fault. You know, let's we're and we're going in a new direction now.
Well, it's interesting, you know, when when I played in and coached in basketball, I noticed that sometimes, you know, when players weren't thinking so much on the field of making a mistake or something, they just played better. And you know, you mentioned the wide receivers not dropping passes. I'd take it a step further. Ira, they made some really good catches and some contested catches that you wouldn't be upset if they didn't come down with them.
I agree with you one hundred percent. And to your point, I was talking to somebody last week, somebody actually in the administration of Florida State, not not one of the coaches, and they were saying that, you know, they've been around the team that you know, in their position, they get to be around the team a lot. And they said, you know, this team, you know a lot of people
feel like they've quit or whatever it is. You know, what they were saying is what they see is a bunch of kids who are just pressing so much because they have so much weight on their shoulders. They know this season sucks a lot of them, you know, whether it's because of NIL or their NFL aspirations or whatever it is. You know, they know they have to play better, and they're under this world of pressure and they're just
not responding to it. So I agree man this part of There's a lot of things that went wrong this season, but I think a big one and one that's hard to define and people don't want to hear it because it sounds kind of like a soft factor. But I do think this team is played like they had the way to the world on their shoulders, and at some point, you know, those guys might play better if they just relax and played football.
Irishchafelle with us. He's the managing editor at warchant dot com. That's where you go if you want to get information on FSU athletics, all the sports, but definitely a focus on football and basketball and baseball and recruiting. More to come here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thanks for listening. It's The Morning Show with Preston.
Scott Levin Past the Hour.
Iris Chaffell, Managing editor Warchant dot Com. I'm my guest, I or what are we to make of the quarterback situation at Florida State as it stands right now? Is Luke Cromanhawk going to get the ball to start against Florida?
Is that the choice? Now?
Yeah, I would definitely assume. So you know the fact that they made the choice coming out of the bye week to go to Luke Cromenhawk. He was actually told at the beginning of the last week that he was going to be the guy, So you know, that was a plan. It wasn't like a decision Friday night. They planned it all week. So to me, that feels like they want to go in that direction or at least give him a true chance to see what he could do. And you know, the start was obviously poor. The first
quarter was not very good at all. But I thought as he relaxed and started playing football, you could see some talent there. I don't know that that's like a definitive line in the sand. We're never going back to Brockland, But I think going into the Florida game, I might guess is it'll be Luke scheme and until he proves he can't compete, and then at that point maybe go back to Brock.
So if you were to be looking at the card on the table, what do you think happens this spring? Is dj le gone and is brought Glenn gone?
Or what?
I think? DJA is definitely gone. You know, he may try to pursue another year of college football, but I think he and everybody involved knows it needs to not be a talent in Tallahassee. If you know, as far as Brock and Luco, I mean, it's going to be up to them whether or not. You know, I assume
Florida State's going to bring in a transfer quarterback. I don't think that they've seen enough for me, either of those guys, to feel like, yeah, we definitely, with our jobs on the line as a coaching staff, can definitely ride with these quarterbacks. So I do think they'll they'll do everything they can to bring in a transfer, and that's up to those guys whether or not they're willing to wait a year. In a dream scenario, I think they would. You know, I don't think either one of them,
you know, no matter what they believe. I don't know that a lot of teams are in the country are gonna be knocking down their doors saying, hey, we want you to start for us next season, so that they may end up sitting the bench wherever they go. So it would be great if they both stayed. At least one of them stays. My guess is at least one of them stay. And if I had to put money
on it, I'd say Luke. But you know, at the end of the day, a lot of these kids have parents and advisors and all these other people in their ears. Do you just never know?
Do you think brock Glenn has the requisite skills to lead this football team where it needs to be.
I thought so, But he's just not been real accurate, you know. And I know it's an awful situation. You've had bad receivers and a bad offensive line, but even watching in practice, his accuracy is not where it needs to be. And so, and I'm not saying Luke is always accurate, but I do think Luke has overall more upside as a passer. I like there's some things I really like about brocclan. I think in a certain offense, I think he could be great. He's tough, he's athletic. You know he'll.
Compete, yep.
But I just don't know. In an offense where you want to throw the ball thirty five, maybe even forty times a game, I just don't know if he's accurate enough. And if he isn't, by now, I don't know what that would happen.
It just it reminds me it's not so much about arm strength that he has a decent arm. It reminds me the old joke that Johnny united Is told about Dan Pastorini and Uniteds was a terrible broadcaster, but ira he had one of the greatest lines in the history of television when he was talking about former quarterback Dan Pastorini and Pastorini bragging about throwing to the twelfth floor of the hotel, and United's famously said, yeah, but his receivers were on the ninth floor.
That's a good life.
And that's what I see with Brock.
He doesn't seem to be able to feather the football and throw that little soft pass over.
The linebacker's reach. It's just one hundred miles an hour.
Everything's a fastball, yeah, exactly. As a frustrated Colts fan in the seventies, I had Bert Jones. Yep, that was my similar story. And yeah, I think that's the thing just to you know, Jim Buts call it hand talent. Some people like that, some people don't like that. But yeah, there's just going to be differ Uh, it's gotta be you gotta be more resourceful than just you know, rearing back and firing it. We just haven't seen a lot of that.
And brought Iris Chafelle with us for one more segment when we come back the coordinators. What is he hearing about a new offensive coordinator defensive coordinator? Any chance of it being a promotion from within that? And more still to come with Irishafelle a war chant dot com here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Twenty one minutes after the hour.
It's been a rough season for FSU football, but I'm promising Irishchafell at least a mcribb for combat pay since mcgribs are coming out on Monday next week. Uh, he'll be covering the Florida game. What do you what are your thoughts going into that game? Florida is playing a lot better can Florida State compete with them.
I definitely think they are, and I'm probably gonna be in the minority. In fact, talking to some of my colleagues at wardshead dot Com, I think I'm definitely in the minority. But I think you look at those two games. I've watched a good bit of those two wins Florida had over LSU and Ole Miss, and and honestly, and
I talked to people who cover Florida. According to people that are very loyal to Florida who felt like they got very lucky against LSU, the LSU kind of dominated that game, but they just kept kind of shooting themselves in the foot. And then All Miss, that was definitely the case. All Miss had almost five hundred yards of offense. You know, they went over three in the red zone.
They had turned them all over three times. And again you got to get Florida State Florida credit for competing and making plays in those situations, but a lot of it was all misdropped a ton of passes. They just they kind of I think All Miss had the playoffs steering and in the face and they choked a little bit. And so this is a good you know, this is an improving Florida team. They obviously have a better quarterback right now with DJ Lagway, but I don't think they're
a great football team. They even in these two wins at home, they had about three hundred and sixty three hundred and seventy yards offense in each game. This will be Lagway's first game on the road, So yeah, I think there's a lot of reasons to think Florida State might be a live underdog in this game.
Let's go ahead and talk about the defense for Florida State for a second. Does Randy Shannon want the job? Is he auditioning to be the defensive coordinator after all these years in coaching or is he very content with maybe being an assistant if.
That that is a fantastic question, Preston, and you know, listen, I think from a fan base perspective, most of the attention right now is on the offensive coordinator because that is the that's where Florestay was so bad this season. I do think there are some people around the program who think deep that Randy Shannon wouldn't be a bad decision, and he's not very you know, Randy Shannon is not
very popular with the online fan base. Right, because you know, for a variety of reasons, he used to be Miami's head coach struggle there, He's bounced around, been at every different school in the state. But I would say this, you know, I think he's a guy that I think one of the biggest problems on that defense this year was I just don't think they played with a lot
of passion. And if you can, if it's Randy Shannon or I don't know, whoever, I don't care who it is, if they come in and bring passion to that defense, then you know they'd be a suitable replacement for me. And so I think, you know, Randy could be that guy. I just don't know if he has the fire at this point of his career to want the job. But to me, I think that that job is not as sexy right now. The offensive coordinator job is kind of what everybody's focused on.
Whether it's offense or defense.
You could make the argument that in this day and age of college football, ira whoever it is, is really taking the job to become a head coach somewhere. That's kind of the way it all works. So what do you think the leading names? Who are they? Do we know anything.
Yeah, I mean there are some leading names. I mean, the most obvious one is the one that you know, we feel like is probably the leading kid is a guy nam Brennan Marion, who is the offensive coordinator at UNLV. He's a hot name as a young offensive coordinator, you know, one of those guys in midle eight thirties. But he also has had success wherever he's been. And he also played for Mike Norvel when he was in college. He was a receiver at Tulsa when Mike Norvell was on
the staff there. Then Norvell hired him is an analyst or GA at Arizona State. So they have a long relationship. So that one makes a lot of sense. But I think it's the question is, and you started, you prefaced your question by talking about becoming head coaches. The challenge with any of these young, kind of hot, big name coordinators is there is a ton of college head coaching jobs already open. Half of the American Athletic Conference. I think there's six or seven openings for head coaches in
that league. There's a ton of head coaching openings already open, and so a lot of these big name young coordinators are probably going to get those jobs. So it's that's gonna be interesting to see what happens. I would not be opposed at all to see Florida State get a an older offensive coordinator who maybe isn't necessarily the hot young thing, but somebody who's been a coordinator at a decently high level for a long time and has a
track record. I don't think they need to reinvent this offense. I just think they need to get a better quarterback, better better players around the quarterback, and then just help Mike Norvel kind of reset this team. But you know, most people want like the young, big name, and Brendan Marian's at the top of that list right now.
If I were to throw a crazy name at you, I just want to get your reaction.
Willie Simmons, I mean.
Yeah, it's it's I love Willie Simmons. He's obviously a tremendous coach. He's been successful wherever he's been. What he did with FAMU is amazing. I don't know that he's on the radar, but I wouldn't hate it. I mean, I mean again.
Wouldn't it be an interesting rumor to start? I mean, he's the running back coach at Duke, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he obviously coached at Clemson for a long time, as you know, been around it. I'm not you know again, I wouldn't be against it. All. The thing I would say about Willie Simmons and really anybody they bring in, I really what I want to see from this team going into next season is more passion, more competitiveness, more fire. And yeah, man, he's a guy that you would think would bring it. So he's find on my list, Preston.
Let's start the rumor.
That sounds good.
Hira, thanks so much. We'll talk next week.
Thanks President taking all right, Ira Chapelle with us indulging my fantasies.
I'm serious.
I think Willie Simmons would be a really smart candidate. Is he the guy? I don't know, but and I don't know if he even is interested. But he's good. He's a really good coordinator. He was a great head coach at FAM. You and I mean, Duke's not bad.
But eight and three, Yeah, back with more one hundred point seven doubt.
La welcome thirty six past the hour. Good to have you with us this morning on the radio program. And I've got a special guest let me introduce you to Rachel Duvaul. She is the founder and CEO of a program called Humble House Ministries.
Rachel, welcome to the show.
How are you, thank you, I'm good. Tell me to be here.
Well, it's our pleasure. Tell me a little bit, give me a snapshot. What is Humble House and why did you start this in Panama City back in twenty twenty.
So Humbo's Ministries is a face based recovery program and transitional housing. So we try to meet the needs of a lot of different demographics, a lot of different needs in the community. So we have faith based recovery that's free of charge for anyone who is unable to pay, and it's a twelve month recovery program. We have one here in Panama City, and then we started one in twenty twenty one in Tallahassee, Florida. And we also have transitional housing. So part of our recovery program is the
second phase. As you go into transitional you get a phone, you start working, and we see that you know you have you're able to put into action all the things that you learned while in the recovery program. And then for women who are just getting out of prison that have no place to go. They don't have to go in the recovery program. They can go straight into our transitional housing. But all of our programs are some sort
of you know, life transformation. We are constantly doing classes with them, high accountability, you know, so even just coming to the transitional house, it's not just transitional living. You know, we're doing classes. We are taking care of their needs when they first get out, clothes, dental work, you know, anything that's an emergency. Yeah. So it just we're just
trying to meet the needs of our community. And I think that if anyone were to ask, you know, do you know do you know anyone in your family or in your realm of influence do you know anyone who has ever struggled with addiction? I think all of us would probably raise our hand. And so we know that it is a you know, something in our community that all communities struggle with. But a lot of people, I feel maybe don't know what to do with that struggle.
And that's what we are here for, is to help the families and friends, you know, to help them to have answers for that.
So, Rachel, how did this start for you personally? I mean to just get this ball rolling, because the type of work you're describing isn't for the faint of heart.
No, it's not for the faint of heart, I can tell you. But it starts. It started with me with a passion. So before the even division, there was a passion. If I could just share a you know, a tidbit of my story is really how it all started. I was raising the home where my mom and my dad were an addiction and after my mom's divorce from my dad for sexual abuse and also physical abuse to her at age twelve years old, my mom was a single mom for the first time since she was eighteen, and
we were all young, you know, young teenagers. And so I went into addiction at age fourteen years old and stayed that way until about age twenty four. I went to jail a few times. I was incarcerated. I have you know, charges, Praise God, I am going before the governor to get them expunged, hopefully in the next couple of months. But you know, I went through that whole system and of just brokenness but longing to have a
better life and longing for something more. When you're raised in that kind of environment, you don't know what else is out there. It's like you can see it, but you don't know how to accomplish it. You don't know how to get there. And I had no one really speaking into my life, you know, saying, you know, things don't have to stay this way. So really I started this journey in the Bay County jail and reading my Bible,
and then people began to pour into me. I got clean at age twenty four years old and started going to a church and got involved there with their support group ministry called the Most Excellent Way at First Baptist Church of Panama City, and they really started raising me up from age twenty four until now. But when I was in rehab, this is the kind of cool story. When I was in rehab, they had us to write
our obituary as a project. And this is kind of neat because the thoughts of like, you know, what will your life look like were running through my mind my whole addiction. So, you know, an overdose when I walked up in the hospital and no one was there, and no one even like cared to call the police and say she's missing. Know where did she go? Because I was gone. I just would run you know, for days at a time. So I woke up with this reality of no one knows I'm here, and then really, truthfully,
what would happen if I had died that day? And then God just put this in my heart, this you know, what are you contributing to this society? What you know? What legacy are you leaving? And really it was no one would even really you know, my son, my family would miss me maybe, you know, but that was really it. And so God had already put that in my heart.
And so when I had to write my obituary, I was already thinking, like about my legacy and the impact that I'm going to be able to make on the world. Why I'm here in a short time that is given to us? And I wrote my obituary and you could write it as if you died in addiction, you know, that horrific story, or you could write it as you know, whatever you would dream up to be. And I'm kind of a visionary and overcome Rachel.
Yeah, yeah, just overcoming, Rachel. I need to take a quick pause here. We're gonna pick up right there. Forty two now passed the hour run a little late. Rachel Deval with US founder CEO of Humble House Ministries. We're going to kind of lead you where this is going next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott joining me on the program. Rachel Daval, Humble House Ministries. Rachel, from when you kind of got out of jail, you felt a burden a mission to starting this in twenty twenty in Panama City. What steps had to take place for you to turn this into a thing, an actual vision.
Come to life.
Well, you know, it started with I spoke to a donor about, you know, partnering with us, and that's how we got the name the Homewalsk Ministries from Nick Humble and his late wife Anne Humble. He wanted to leave a legacy for her, and so I just started the process of the five on one C three building the board.
I had a lot of support because I was coming from another ministry and that ministry was closing their recovery program and the homeless shelter aspect, and so my heart was to continue doing recovery ministry and the need was so great in our community. So I just started following those steps of getting the five on one C three
building the board, you know, building our bylaws. And then we did a fund raising push and we did it on Facebook and we asked for five thousand dollars to help us to you know, rent this little trailer that we were going to rent to own, and they gave it to us. And then another partner came and we met with him and he and his wife just donated ten thousand to the Vision, and then from there we did I think we raised twenty thousand at our first
grand opening. People had already seen the work the program that we had created at Bethel Village in Panama City, and they believed in what we were doing. And so when I started this ministry, we really had a lot of people who believed in us that were willing to back us. And so we started in a four bedroom duplex trail I'm sorry, double wide trailer. And we started
with just transitional housing. While I was working at the Bay County Jail with as a faith based care coordinator and doing re entry, I was trying to find housing for these men and women when they were getting out, and I could not find any. I couldn't find any that you couldn't just go into without having money up front or you know, So I asked him if I
could rent this for the women. And I was working with the women doing classes and stuff inside the jail, and so if those women were involved in the classes, and they were involved in and they needed a place to go, then we would allow them to go into the our transitional house. Quickly, I realized that it wasn't enough for a lot of women. They still needed an
opportunity to go through a recovery program. And so in twenty twenty one, we opened our first full recovery program and pan City and then in I'm sorry, yeah, our first recovery program in twenty twenty one. And then we also just a few months after, opened our recovery program with my best friend Brittany, who was working with me at Bethel Village in Tallahassee. So we opened the two recovery programs, and then quickly we realized we started taking in women who were working DCS cases, and so we
would work the DCF cases. Then the children would have to come and live with mom in order to be reunified. So we went in twenty twenty one to you know, opening this recovery program. In twenty twenty two, we started taking in these women who were working DCF cases, and in twenty twenty three we had sixteen children pulled out of foster care and reunited with their moms in one
of our houses. And so quickly we needed another house, so we opened in twenty twenty one another transitional house, and then in twenty twenty two we opened our thrift store in Panama City. Twenty twenty three we moved into our large John Pitt's House Recovery program and transitional housing. Then we opened our thrift store in lynn Haven at nine to twenty West twenty sixth Street in lynn Haven, Florida,
in Tamil City. And good news is Britney opened in Tallahassee a transitional house earlier this year and we are opening a grand opening, doing grand opening February second in Tallahassee for our first thrift store in Tallahassee. So you know, really in four years, we have opened five transitional houses and two thrift stores, and you know, the need is
so great. We're trying to decide, you know, the direction, the next direction that we're going to go to build more housing for more of these moms, these women and children. And we are also working with a couple of corporations where they hold women who have been sex trafficked and then they you know, assess their needs and send them out, and the ones who have addiction history, we are actually we're taking in six traffic survivors as well. So yeah, that's kind of how it started.
Rachel. I appreciate the time.
This morning, we're going to introduce our audience to how we're going to try to pitch in and help and we'll talk again in the next few weeks.
Thank you wonderful, Thank you so much for this opportunity.
We appreciate you absolutely.
Rachel Devaal with us, founder CEO of Humble House Ministries.
There's a snapshot. So where do we come in.
Well, I'll tell you next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, so here's the deal. They have locations in Panama City and Tallahassee, the hub of our radio broadcast home. So what I'm proposing the Mad Radio Network do is raise funds for Humble House Ministries. Now, as is always the case, I never ask you to
do something that I'm not willing to do. So yesterday I made donations to both Tallahassee and Panama City, and all you need to do is go to Humblehouseministries dot org and right there you can see the links just right there on the homepage. Donate now Panama City, Donate now Tallahassee. And when you donate to Tallahassee, you can write in the memo WFLA and to donate in Panama City, dedicate and put WFLA. That way they can track what comes from this effort. We just want to raise as
much money as we can of what they're doing. I know the transitional housing part component of this. From the standpoint of it's a huge need. Huge So this is where we start. If you can help out, go to the website Humblehouseministries dot org and give.
Brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one eight on WFLA.
Heedless to say we will be discussing this each day between now and the end of the broadcast year, which is the middle of December. So I understand you might have to wait for payday to roll around. Whatever you might be able to do. If you're a business, think about partnering with them in each community. Man, we're at the end of the year. Man, your business is maybe you need a tax write off. Five ten thousand dollars goes a long way in the pans of these folks.
I've seen firsthand the results in Tallahassee, and because of that, I know of the work in in Panama City. So this is where we're gonna help this year. I'd love to have you kick in and take part five, ten, twenty five, fifty one hundred. For some of you, A thousand bucks is nothing for some of you. Ten thousand dollars is nothing for some of you. Ten bucks is what you can afford. Do what you can tomorrow.
We'll be back. Don't miss Tuesday Show. Have a great day.
