Ep. 5215: Who spiked Morning Joe's coffee?!

be with you and growing all the time. It's just it's it's crazy, and we are so grateful and appreciative to you and of course God for the favor. We begin, as always with scripture. Now remember the six seventeen sixty three segment. We start this to encourage you to equip you with some verses. And if I say inspiration, it's it makes it sound like I'm inspirational. That that's not what I mean. I hope to inspire you with God's word and give you ideas on ways to really impact

your children. Because when you sow seed God seed, it returns a harvest. And so we challenge you with some scriptures to speak over your children Pray over your children, share with them in a little devotional time before they head off to school. If they're in the car with you, you know you can talk about it on the ride there. Pray over them, hug on them, make sure that you tell them. The last words that your kid needs to hear before they head off to school is that you

love them, because no matter what, that matters. I remember times in my children's lives when I would communicate basically this message to them. No matter where you go and what you do, and what circumstance you find yourself in, I want you to always have embedded deep in your heart how much you are loved, because it could make a difference. And when you then factor God God's love and how much He loves us more than we even

know how to love. And so our verse today comes from two Timothy one, verse seven, for God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self control. Talk about a verse for kids in their first week of school, especially if you've got a kid that's really just kind of nervous about getting back out there, or getting out there to begin with. Maybe they're new in a school, maybe they've just had difficulties. And that's where this speaking life into your child is

so important. Take a verse and write it down and put it in their lunch box. And for example, this simple verse, God gave us a spirit, not a fear. If you're afraid of anything today, remember God gives us power, spirit of love and self control. So make good choices, express love, and know that God is with you and that's all that matters. I love you mom, I love you Dad. I love you mom and dad, we love you.

Little note in the lunchbox, in their backpack, notebook, whatever they're going to open up and see, just a little something extra to encourage them. There you go, there you go. That's how you do it. So this week we're really focusing on that, probably next week too. Scriptures that you can bless your children with speak over them and start a pattern of starting your day, your kid's day, with

God's word. Before you know it, they're gonna be through school and they're gonna say, I remember every morning my mom and dad, or my mom or my dad would pray with me, speak God's word over me, and they would just tell me every single day how much they loved me. You don't think that's gonna matter. Ten past the hour, open up the pages of the American Patriots all gonna act next right here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Good Show Today, the voice of the Seminals,

Jeff Kolehay, will join us in the third hour. Matt Staber in the third hour. They're doing a tour. They meaning Liberty Council John Steenberger, friend of the radio program. Haven't talked to John in a very long time. They are meeting with pastors in large cities around Florida. The importance of saying no to Amendment four. We'll talk about that. Let's see August fourteenth, in seventeen sixty five. This is a very cool story and I have a personal attachment

to it. Wait, what possibly could you be personally attached to that dates back to seventeen sixty five, sucker Well, allow me to explain. On August fourteenth, the group of Bostonians calling themselves the Sons of Liberty gathered under a large Elm tree to protest the Stamp Act imposed by England. From a branch they hung in effigy the Boston official in charge of Minister. They hated Stamp Act. The Elm

became known as the liberty tree. By the time of the Revolution, just about every American town had its own liberty tree, a living symbol of freedom and resistance to tyranny. Patriots met under the trees to swap information and plot rebellion. In some towns, folks erected a tall liberty pole to symbolize a tree. Thomas Paine wrote a popular song called the Liberty Tree to rouse patriot's spirits. From the east

to the west. Blow the trumpet to arms through the land, Let the sound of it flee song ran, Let the far and the near all unite with a cheer in defense of our liberty Tree. During the Revolutionary War, Patriot soldiers sometimes carried into battle flags emblazoned with a liberty tree. Some banners carried the words and appeal to Heaven to show that colonists sought guidance from God for their cause.

In nineteen ninety nine, we fast forward now nineteen ninety nine, a hurricane dealt a death blow to the last of the Revolutionary War era liberty trees. A four hundred year old giant tulip poplar in Annapolis, Maryland. Conservation Group American Forests grew fourteen seedlings from the tree seeds to plant

in Washington, d C. In the thirteen Original States. If I'm not mistaken, they took a piece of that particular tree, and they've taken the bark from it and placed it in a display at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. And I've touched it. I've touched the tree. Don't think that's not cool as it is. Don't think that makes me cool, because I'm not. But you get my point. Seventeen fifty five, on this date, French and

Indian War underway. George Washington appointed Commander in chief of Virginia Forces protecting the frontier. Seventeen eighty four, on Kodiak Island, Russian fur traders found the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska. Yeah, how about that. Eighteen forty eight Congress creates the Oregon Territory, an area encompassing today's Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and western Montana. And on this date, in nineteen forty five, Japan surrenders unconditionally,

ending World War Two. So there you have it. Lots to talk about today, a lot of kind of interesting stories. The big stories in the press box they very different, very different. So get yourself something to munch on, cup of coffee, it's some more OJ, whatever your beverage of choices, and settle in for a while. If you can't stay for the whole show, you know what to do, circle

back iHeartRadio app. I can't tell you how many people don't know that if you miss any part of the show, you can just go back and listen to the show anytime on the podcast. Just look up the Morning Show with Preston Scott on the iHeartRadio app under artists search and go to podcasts and logo. Right there, Morning Show with Preston Scott's right there, simple boom done. How cool is that? And you can listen to the rest of the show. So stay with us. Seventeen past the hour.

An award for FHP bomb b Boum. A tip of the cap to all of you first responders out there, EMTs, fire, police, sheriffs, FHP. You're out there, men and women. Thank you for what you do. Really, is there any other job in America where you have an overt risk of being killed at any moment of any day while doing your job. I mean, you know, look, if you, for example, if you're a power line worker, you certainly faced dangerous, but you can mitigate all of those risks and make the job relatively safe.

You know, you're climbing a tower, you got harnesses and all that stuff. But the equivalent would be, let's say you work a tower and you're using those harnesses and unbeknownst to you, someone had cut one of those Harman's harnesses down to just a couple threads, and maybe it'll hold, and maybe it won't. That's sort of what we're dealing with with law enforcement emergency personnel. You pull over somebody, you have no idea if that person's pulling a gun on you, You have no clue. You and I walk

through our offices every day. We're not worried about that, are we. I mean, we're really not. We're not worried that someone in the cubby next door is going to be having a bad day or be fleeing or be wanted for a crime and they're gonna pull a gun and shoot you in the face. But law enforcement deal with that every single moment they pull somebody over, it in interact with anybody, and it's why I respect what they do and believe they're all underpaid all of them. Anyway,

this was kind of kind of fun. Apparently, the American Association of State Troopers does a contest America's Best Looking Cruiser Contest, and for the second year straight, FHP wins it. Now, I gotta tell you, the photo they submitted was pretty epic. They they went to the Space Coast and worked with the United Launch Alliance, the National Reconnaissance Office, and they were able to secure a photo taken a Cape naverl during a launch of the United Launch Alliance Delta four

heavy rocket. So they positioned the car and the foreground. It's a twenty nineteen Challenger and come on, you've looked at that thing on the road and you're like, Okay, that's pretty cool. And I can tell you that if the trooper steps on it and puts his foot to the floor in that thing, it's gonna go. I would imagine they start with a base Hellcat engine. I don't know, someone knows out there, and then they juice it from there.

But that Dodge went on a run for a while of really putting some sporty hemis and these Hellcat engines in the charger and the Challenger and the Chargers, the four door, the Challengers, the two door, and it just brought back a lot of memories because they really did channel the first Dodge Challenger from back in the day, and the Dodge Charger not quite as much. The Charger didn't quite evoke the same images as the early Charger,

but the Challenger did. Anyway, They've got the car and the foreground in a grass field and then the rocket with the explosion of the engines lifting off behind it. It's an epically cool photo. Anyway. It won the National Best Looking Cruiser competition for the second year in a row. What does that mean? Nothing? Just looks cool, that's all.

I'm good with that. It's just kind of a lighthearted sort of fun thing, and it gave me an excuse to point out once again my appreciation and respect for those that are first responders, no matter what they do and how they do it, whether it's fire, emergency services, rescue, SWAT, you know, the paramedics out there, the police, the sheriffs, the FHP, yeah, you know you name it. Thank you, thank you for doing what you do. We appreciate it

very much. Twenty seven Past come Back, Big Stories in the press Box and more in the morning show with Preston Scott, my homage cap to Osciola and Renegade. Ready for my conversation talk with Jeff Colhayne Voice of the

Knolls in the third hour. Of course, you got the Coaches Show you can listen to and we'll tell you all about where you can listen to FSU football this season in the Tallasse area, of course, and in Panama City Panama City Region, the area part of the flagship set of stations that make up I heard Radio Big Stories in the press box this morning. This requires a moment of reflection. Senior Iranian officials have said that they are prepared to attack Israel. The assassination of Hamas leader

Ismail Hannie in their country has triggered this response. Do you know how that happened? Do you know how the Israelis got him? Listen to this. Now, he's the leader of a Mosas ostensibly behind the brutal incursion attacks on civilians. It wasn't an act of war, it was a terrorist act. And there's a difference. There is a difference, and Iran doesn't seem to understand that, or they absolutely do, and they've been trying to provoke a war with Iran or

with Israel. He was killed by an explosive device that was smuggled into a guesthouse in Tehran months ahead of his visit. According to The New York Times, the guest house located in a large compound in an upscale neighborhood in Tehran. It's protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He'd come to the country for the presidential inauguration, and so the Israelis had intelligence. So someone in Iran provided intelligence telling them that if this guy ever comes to Tehran,

here's where he stays. So the Israelis get smuggled into this guesthouse and explosive device that they can remotely detonate. They put it in a place that went undetected for months. So this dude shows up and they push the button and kabboom, He's gone. Now the Iyatola wants Israel attacked, of course. Iranian officials, though, said a cease fire deal in Gaza will halt those plans for retaliation. Here's my question why I don't have the answer necessarily. I think

it's an important question to ask. Why would a cease fire stop Iran from an all out overt attack on Israel. Why let me rephrase that. What's in it for them? Now? According to Reuters, the countries that are working together to hammer out a deal, the US, cutter and Egypt. Why them? Why is an Israel sitting down right? Why? Why aren't why aren't the leaders of a mass Why why aren't all the parties involved sitting down? Well? Because a bunch of them don't think Israel has a right to exist.

They consider them subhuman. In the release statement to Reuters, there is no further time to waste, nor excuses from any party for further delay. It is time to release the hostages, begin the ceasefire, implement this agreement. Time to release the hostages. And my statement is what hostages? Remember? I believe most of them are dead, which is why they don't want to sit down. They have nothing to

bargain with. That's my opinion. Forty minutes past the album, More Big Stories with The Morning Show Preston.

court overturned the man's murder conviction. Happened in twenty ten, took part in an exchange of bullets with the US agents in Arizona and the mountains south of Tucson. Brian Terry, one of the agents, died. You may recall that name, Brian Terry, because his death led to the discovery that a US government operation dubbed Fast and Furious, lost track of guns, including firearms that were found at the scene of the fight. In other words, this was the Eric

Holder Barack Obama debacle. They were trying to shut down gun shops and they were trying to show see, these guns got in the hands of bad guys because these gun shops didn't do their job. No, it was the US government that ended up providing these guns. They didn't think they'd come back to haunt them, and they did. They killed their own agents. This was a failed government op. Not the gunfight, but that guns got in the hands

of these probably cartel members. So the guy fleets, fled into Mexico, remained there nearly seven years before he was arrested inside of Mexican prison. This is important. Listen inside of Mexican prison, following advice from his attorney, he confessed to the crimes. He was extra dived of the United States and convicted. The court ruled that his rights under the US Constitution sixth the Amendment were violated. Now he's

going to receive a new trial. Here's my question. How were his rights violated when his attorney in Mexico before he was brought to the United States gave him counsel. He wasn't in the custody of the United States. So how are we, meaning the government of the United States in this case, prosecuting. How are we at fault for counsel he got in a Mexican prison from a Mexican attorney, not being tried at that point under US law. He was subsequently convicted. I would say, well, that's just tough

and too bad. The US argued before the appeals court. We told him you have the right to remain silent, you have the right to counsel. This is one of those things that again I just I think logic prevails. It was a bad decision, bad decision by the appellate court. So we're gonna waste money, try this dirt bag all over again. Forty seven minutes after the hour, all right, we're gonna come back with a warning. The Morning Show with Preston Scott on US Radio one hundred point seven

doubled UFLA or on NewsRadio double UFLA. Panama City dot Com interested to talk to Jeff Coulhane in the third hour. FSU football starts at season in Dublin, Ireland, and I just wonder what that's gonna be like the pregame show, how they're gonna capture the flavor of doing a football game in Ireland. American football is a big deal when it goes over there. Credit to the NFL. Although any any plans of putting a franchise in Europe would just be just foolish. The travel, the logistics of it, It

would be patently unfair for teams traveling. It's difficult enough just going east coast, west coast, west coast to east coast, whichever, But at any rate, that's a. That's a topic for another time. I'm quite sure, but we will. We'll talk with Jeff in the third hour. Takolole FSU football. We'll tell you where you can catch the games, of course in the area. Florida. Can I get a little what what for? Florida? Huh? Ranked second best state to live

in according to a study done by wallet hub. Wallet hub used fifty one different measurements, different statistics, indicators of liveability, if you will, fifty one states like California, New York. Here's what's interesting. The number one state was Massachusetts, but it was in the bottom ten for affordability. So I don't know how that allows it to rank number one in liveability when it's in the bottom ten in affordability. But I digress. In the rankings, Sunshine State offers a

multitude of ways to spend your leisure time. Large number of restaurants, beaches, fitness centers, theaters per capita. Florida's pretty safe state. Ninth most law enforcement employees per capita, thirteenth, lowest violent crime rate, fifteenth lowest property crime rate. And if you find someone that's going to follow up with policy and the legislature stays the course, but we find someone to follow up with Governor Rondo Santis and keep

the standards, not letting riffraff run rampant. That was pretty good, run rampant. Those crime numbers will go down even more. But you've got thirteenth lowest violent crime rate, fifteenth lowest property crime rate, one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country two point nine percent, sixth most job opportunities per capita, seventh lowest tax rates, sixth highest median household income growth, and so according to wallet Hubb, it's a

great place to build wealth. I would like to point out to all of you who have moved here, don't ruin it. Don't bring sorry terrible politics and governance from your states you fled from. Leave us alone. Get with the program. Understand, we don't have a personal income tax. This state runs itself as a consumption tax state, proving the consumption tax works. That model works. And secondly, we have a balanced budget amendment. They have to do it and as a result, we run surpluses. So these are

just indicators. The Petri dish that is Florida shows how to run a state right time for the second hour, Hi ruminators, welcome. It is the second hour Morning Show with Preston Scott Jose. Can you see over there in Studio one A, I'm here in Studio one B. You want to send me a note Preston at iHeartRadio dot com if you want to send him a note, Jose, can you see C A, n U, S. E at iHeartRadio dot com. Simple as that start the second hour

of the program. And when you are in the hospital, and some of you have been in situations where you've had maybe something pretty traumatic happening to you physically, injury of some kind, maybe a condition, and the doctors and the nurses and your loved ones, somebody's rallying around you saying, come on, come on, hang in there, come on, you can do it. Come on, You're gonna be fine. Right,

You hear that all the time. You're gonna be fine, You're gonna be You're reassuring somebody that they're gonna be okay, and you're trying to life into them. Why because the attitude that someone carries into that kind of trauma can sometimes sustain them that belief they're gonna make it. But that's not the way it works with the condition of America. You can say all day long, this country's awesome, and it is, but we're teetering because our condition is very,

very very critical. And unlike that situation where someone just speaks life into it, you can't just make this stuff go away. Despite what Joe Scarborough has to say on Morning Joe, Yeah, well you know.

any other country on the planet. Americans are good people right right now, our politics divide us.

and La La land morning. Joe's coffee is spiked. And I want to take a part what he said there militarily economically went on this laundry list of things where America's never been better. And I said that during trulthough you know, Trump had his policy, you know, a little weird, a lot of troubling things there. And I said it during Obama, and I said it during George W. But dude, you are delusional then too. America has been weakened for decades, systematically, incrementally.

The fact is Trump has been the most conservative flawed as he is personally conservative president since Reagan. Didn't hit all the policies out of the park like he should have. But he also got fought at every turn by even Republicans. But I want to go through that laundry list Joe mentioned, and I'm going to just point out, this is the same guy who said, just months before calling for Joe Biden to step down, Joe Biden's never been better, never sharper,

never stronger, or more virile. It's acumen on point. That's the same guy. Now, Biden's far behind, but beyond cojin he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically, the best Biden ever. That's what he said weeks before he called for Joe to step down after the debate performance. So this is the same guy. Ten minutes past the hour we come back, I'm gonna unpack his laundry here, just a little bit for you with facts for crying out loud,

is this the only bastion of physical wealth and mindset goodness? Yeah?

an F thirty five. There are now one point two million fewer Americans in the workforce compared to last year. Almost all of the job growth is going to foreigners, and almost all of the job growth is reclaimed jobs that were lost during COVID. Homeland Security says seven to

nine million visa recipients were never properly vetted. So if we if we back away from what's going on militarily, back away from what's going on economically, we now have a problem with the numbers of illegals that have invaded this nation. Many of them have registered to vote illegally because there are states, there are places that just take their word for it. And remember they were handed instructions

on how to register to vote. Back to military DEI bringing in consultants going with the Rock and the United Football League to boost recruiting, and it cost US recruits apparently culturally never better associated press since Roe was overturned, the number of abortions is up. The FDA recommending puberty blockers to minors, despite noting that the drugs are associated with an increased risk of depression and suicide, and they're recommending it. And just to put a cherry on top

of the ice cream. Sunday, here came across an interview with a Kamala Harris voter quoting I'm trans, I'm a trans man, and I'm gay, and I've been pregnant and I've had an abortion before. Commentator for not the b wrote, if you were to create an enthusiastic Kamala Harris voter in a lab I still don't know if you could come up with this, the facts of what's going on with our economy, with our military, with our border, with our culture. It shows a country in flames because of

just three and a half years of Joe Biden. I haven't even gotten to the orders on what appliances you'll buy, the light bulbs you have left to purchase from now, the cars you have to drive, the trucks you have to drive, all of the different ways the government is ordering you in how you're going to live your life. These are all symptoms that you can find in the precursor to socialism and communism and fascism taking over a country,

and the effort to disarm you is critical. The second this nation gives up the Second Amendment and its right to bear arms, it's over. That has been the ploy and the tactic of every dictator since time began. Disarm the people. Please don't doubt me in this fight. These people at the ballot box at every turn, whether it's locally in the city of Tallahassee, if it rears its head in Panama City, not as likely wherever you live across the country. Fight these illiberal, elitist, extremist left wing

democrat socialists. Fight them, defeat them at the ballot box. Seventeen past the Army. I'm really late, like two minutes late. Segment next an Iheart's Radio season. I get some great email and I share some of them on the program.

In this segment, I referred to as customers always Write, which is obviously a play on words and a homage to the late Bill mcgrotha, who is a tremendous sports columnist who worked for the local paper when it was a reputable paper, and he did a column the customers Always Write, and so he would publish letters to the

sports editor, and that was him. But I got a note after I talked about Lebron James being a jerk and that being a great player doesn't make you a great person, and I'm gonna I gotta change a few names here and so forth. First of all, I cannot stand Lebron James, he writes for a handful of reasons.

Your comment about the pictures situation reminds me of something a friend of ours said in two thousand and six, and it was about I guess her husband, who was a professional golfer who would not have his picture taken even with kids, because of the number of autograph picture wholesalers buying pictures of celebrities. The golfer's perspective was that other people should not be benefiting making money from his image.

And then he he said, I agree with your perspective ninety five percent of the time, and it's a listener in center as a beach. I wrote back, and I said, I completely disagree, especially a guy like Lebron who's estimated worth is one point two billion dollars. And with all due respect referring to the golfer that was mentioned, in his day, he was known as not a very nice person, and he, of all people in that era, should have been thrilled to have anyone want to take a picture

with him. Additionally, personalized photos taken with someone beside the athlete in the picture do not make money. They are almost always a treasured possession and never ever for sales. So that's why you'll find athletes personalized things to biff to whatever, because that that increases the value for the person that's a true fan and decreases the value for

its marketability. Does that make sense If someone just signs it, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna find that stuff probably just sold online. But if someone personalizes it to Preston from so and so, It's like I have a photo from Bart Starr that he personalized and signed for me. Bart was a dear friend of my father's and I got to know him just a little bit. I knew Max McGee the wide receiver for the Packers, and Donnie Anderson and some of

the other guys far better. But it was personalized. That's never going for sale ever. Anyway. I just I thought it was an interesting comment and it allowed me an opportunity to expound and expand my answer to a golfer who should have been thrilled, especially in that era, that anyone would want his picture, especially a guy who was and I mean he was a very good golfer. He was very very good major winner multiple times over, but also known as a first class fill in the blank.

Now he's, obviously, as he's matured and older, he's a fine gentleman, but at that time not so much. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, we got the big stories in the press box and more still to come. Welcome to the Morning Show with Dreston Scott, talk a little FSU football. In the third hour, Jeff Colhayne, Voice of the Knowles, will join us kind of his own version

of a State of the Knowles football address. May remember Michael Alford joined us last month and we got a State of the Knowles all things Athletic Department, Doak Campbell Stadium, etc. Had a long visit with with Michael. But we'll talk FSU football specifically. The Noles open the season on the twenty fourth in Dublin, Ireland. Yeah, there'll be going to Ireland, join with all the patties. Yeah. I well, here's what

I know. There's some beautiful golf courses in Ireland. Got a buddy going as a seminal booster and a golf trip planned, leaving on Friday, and we'll be playing six courses in six days. And the first golf outing is the day after they fly in on Friday, and they place Saturday morning, and I'm thinking, oh, you're gonna tee off at it's three am your time. Your body's going

to be saying no anyway. Big stories in the press box murder conviction of a guy who killed a border patrol agent back in twenty ten, which led to the uncovering of the Fast and Furious debacle of aeric Holder and Barack Obama. And the point of Fast and Furious was to try to hurt gun shop owners and blame them for guns getting in the hands of in this case, bad guys. And it was the FEDS distributing the weapons, and those weapons were used to kill the Border patrol

agent for the United States, Brian Terry. So the guy had his conviction overturned, and I'm asking the question why he was given bad counsel. Yeah, but that bad council was in Mexico, in a Mexican attorney, and it had it didn't happen on us soil. He was told he had a right to remain silent. He was mirandized even though he was told, yeah, confess to the crimes. It gonna work out better for you. Well that's what the guy in Mexico said in a Mexican jail. He was mirandized.

Why in the world did we say sorry, it was bad conviction. He didn't get proper counsel. What do we have to do. It's not like the United States government is going to disbar some attorney in Mexico. I don't get that. I understand I'm no legal scholar, but I think I possess a modicum of common sense that makes no sense to me. Second big story, Radiant officials identify one thing that could put off its retaliation against Israel

if there's a ceasefire deal in Gaza. Really. Now again, I'm just I'm putting on my little analytical hat here and I'm asking myself why what is so significant about a ceasefire that would stop Iran which has publicly stated for decades, if not a few generations, that its ultimate goal is to wipe Israel off the map from the Jordan to the sea. Why would they not retaliate because of a cease fire deal in Gaza. There's something not right in that. Oh, by the way, hostage swap what hostages?

Every time they get close to a deal, it it gets tanked, I believe because Hamasque has killed all but all of the all of them, all but every one of the hostages. I think there may be a couple left, but I think all of them are dead, and I think they have been. And that's why this deal never gets done. Because if it involves actual bodies, you know, like one person walking off a bridge this way and

another person walking off a bridge that way. Ain't gonna be anybody getting out of that bus or car on that side. That's just that's what my that's what my instincts tell me. I got nothing to base that on other than just this just isn't right. It's not so. The two big stories in the press box have one thing in common. Something's not right. Forty minutes after the hour.

Hailey Davidson is? The quote professional golfer that I've told you about. I've followed this story Davidson was dominating a sub pro women's golf tour called the nx XT Women's Pro Tour. And Hailey Davidson is a guy. No idea, what surgeries or not. It doesn't matter. If you watch him swing a golf club, it's a guy. If you watch him walk, it's a guy. If you watch him stand, it's a guy. You remember that famous photo of Rachel Levine with the Secretary of Health or whatever, and and

it's a picture of women with Rachel Levine. It's nothing but biological women and him, and he's in a hurt and it's a waist down photo and it shows all of the women's standing and it was basically pick out which one's the dude, and it's and And the way his feet are betrayed his biology. And I'm not talking about Harry feet. I'm talking about the way he stood. When you look at Haley Davidson, it's a guy. Hailey Davidson came within one player of playing in this year's

US Open Women's golf tournament. Listen to what he had to say. I will never understand athletes who blame it, blame a transgender competitor on their own athletic failures. If you don't take accountability for your failures, then you will never actually be good enough to make it says the person not good enough to compete as a professional men's golfer athletic failures. Are you suggesting that the women in the Olympics that got beat up by two men failed?

I don't. This is the lunacy of where we are today on this issue, and I'm gonna state it again, and I'm going to keep repeating it because at some point this message will get heard. The way this would have been stopped dead in its tracks in the Olympics is if every single female competitor had said we're not competing. They got together and they'd just said we're not competing against a man, and then they just don't have those weight classes, and okay, you hand him the gold medal.

That's fine, he didn't beat anybody. The only way this fight ends is when young girls, young ladies, women do not compete against men. Don't get in the pool, don't get on the track, don't get on the field, don't get on the course, don't compete. In the case of boxing, don't get in the ring. I have an issue with female boxing or MMA fights or whatever, that's what they want to do. Cool, good on them, but don't fight against a dude your own failures as an athlete. Give

me a break. It says a person who trained transitioned quote to a woman allegedly because he couldn't compete. Leah Thomas, average swimmer, became a woman allegedly, and all of us a sudden, dude Thomas is winning national titles because he's a man swimming against women. It's not complicated, friends, Just another example, though. This is what happens when you when you let it get started. Not all that different than

the Colin Kaepernick taking a knee. All the NFL had to do is say, Nope, you can't do that, because that's a fact. You cannot. You do not have a right to free speech as an employee. Don't believe me. Walk into the office and insult your boss. Let me know how that works. Forty seven minutes after the hour, Animal Stories coming up next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

as well as the others. But we start the next hour with Jeff Calhayne, voice of Florida State football and men's basketball and the director broadcasting at FSU, and he will join us.

they don't want alligators up there. Apparently someone had one as a pet and made the mistake of just pitching it in the lake. Nashville. This just makes me laugh. A herd of water buffalo escaped from a Nashville farm and went wandering through a neighborhood. Can you imagine you're just mining your own business. You're in your little suburb, hanging out, and all of a sudden a herd of

water buffalo start wandering around. Apparently an escaped herd in Essex, England, trashed a woman's swimming pool, causing thirty one thousand dollars worth of damage. Back a couple of years ago, another water buffalo found roaming down a Fresno, California road later that same year. I don't know what it is about water buffalo, but apparently they love to wander. This is

something funny about that, but this beats them all. Meadows Family Fun Mini Golf in Dunkin's Duncansville, Pennsylvania, got a phone call. You know the claw machine that pulls stuffed animals and balls and stuff out. A groundhog got inside of it and was rumminaging around amidst all the tough to animals they were in someone's playing the game and they see this living groundhog poke his head out. Gotta love it. Animal Stories On the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Third hour is next. Jeff Colhayne of FSU Athletics will join us final hour at least for today of the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show five thousand, two hundred and fifteen. But who's counting over there in Studio one A. Jose running the program and I am here in Studio one B, and I am joined by first time in person in studio, Ladies and gentlemen. He is the voice of Florida State Football. He is Jeff Colhyne, FSU Director Broadcasting.

How are you, sir, man, I tell you it is so much fun to be in here and chat with you. We were just talking off the air, and I want to listen to you tell stories about zero and talk about.

platform component, there's social media, there's digital media. By no means am I an expert in all those categories. I certainly need my fair share help and putting that stuff all together. But we're just bringing a little bit more from a storytelling angle and trying to provide everybody a little bit of a peak behind the curtain.

Tisdale just announced as the new head coach. And I can't wait for people to kind of, you know, getting ring with that because I think that's that's gonna be a fun sport for people to understand. It's gonna be a Olympic sport in twenty twenty eight in Los Angeles. And so, yeah, exactly can we how can we better communicate to people why these individuals are who they are,

what makes them tick, what makes them successful. Women's soccer has been tremendous, but when the national championship a year ago, volleyball had an acc championship season last year, track and field has an amazing program.

is any of that still lingering? Or has have Mike and the staff done a good job flushing and now with the team that's for us, right, They don't get into that. Even some of the players held over you know.

coaching cliche, you're gonna roll your eyes at me. But they're so internal with everything and their messaging and their approach where everything on the outside it's not talked about. It's about getting better every day and just continuing to go through that whole process. And they call it one percent better every day, right, And so that's how they

approach it. And one of you know, two years ago, coach said, look, if I listened to everybody talk about how good they thought we were going to be or what we should do on the outside, I would have got you know, they thought I was gonna get fired right in twenty twenty two.

I would say defensively, this group, even with the pieces that went to the NFL, Jared Verst, Brandon Fisk, I think the two linebackers that we had a year ago are or unbelievable players and will make waves in the NFL, even though they weren't top round guys Tatum Mathun and Kaalin DeLoach, Rinardo Green, Jarion Jones A, Keem Dent, go on and on. I think even with those great players moving on, I think this defense has a chance to be better than what they were a year ago. One reason why.

being the director of broadcasting for Florida State University. We have learned the correct pronunciation of dj leungla lea we think as the quarterback, ye may be sort of kind of Yeah. We've learned that this defense could be better because of depth. But what about that offense? Boy, Jordan Travis Man, What a what a career? What a young man? Yes, one of my favorites.

love that guy. But to answer your question offensively, there are definitely some areas where newcomers need to answer questions, and certainly DJ is a big talking point. But I'll tell you this, when you look at the strengths of this group, this offensive line is Mike Norvel's deepest and potentially most talented as well that he's had and going

into his fifth season. And it's it's not the sexiest thing to talk about, right, And it's not where you start the headlines, But I tell you what, You've got an offensive line with talent and depth and experience, and this group has that. It can help answer some of the other questions as the season wears along, because those questions then can maybe take a little bit more time. I was just going to say, answered it literally buys time in the figurative sands in the literals correct, and.

and the offense. I'll tell you what if the biggest question about this football team is offense, and you've got to play caller at head coach and Mike Norvel that knows have to get the best out of his guys there, I'll take that question every day of the week and twice on Sunday Dublin, Ireland for the open Let's go, Preston you coming with?

down to the littlest thing. I've never been across the pond. You need adapters for the outlets over there right right, and you're like, what the hell is this?

a booster, get your tickets. You get to see Dope Campbell in its renovated state getting ready for the twenty five season when it's all going to be done. Talk to Michael Alford about that and the Alabama season opener. That can't wait for that. Twenty seven past the hour, Gonoles on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Matt Staber joining us. He's the founder. He along with John Stenberger, Sarah Johnson, Eric Dellenbecker, making a tour of some of the major cities in Florida starting next week. Matt to talk about Amendment four. I've spent a lot of time talking about amendments. For give me your perspective on just how deceptive this thing is.

But what it really does when you say no law shall restrict, it abolishes every law other than parental notification, which is nothing because you can send a text message while you're on the abortion table and notify a parent or guardian and they don't have to consent anyway.

restricts something. When you say that you need a medical license to do an abortion, well that means not everyone can do an abortion unless you have a medical degree.

When you say that you need to have a defibrillator in your facility where you're doing this, or doing some kind of heart monitoring system, or some kind of epinephrine or other kinds of medication, or maybe even oxygen, well that means that you can't just open up some little storefront and do abortions unless you have certain kinds of health and safety standards that you meet. So every law is a restriction on something, and when you say no law shall restrict, that means no law will stand. The

only one will be parental notification. Let that think in That means abortion through all nine months, all the way up tell birth for any reason. It means also no parental consent, no informed consent, no health or safety regulations, no health inspections. You can't even have health inspections. That would shut down a clinic for violating health laws because those health restrictions, health inspections, they do restrict something. You

can't just have a free for all. But when you say no law show restrict, no health restrictions, no inspections will be allowed. These will be literal back alley butcher facilities, and the state of Florida will have no ability to remedy any of these abuses. Neither the legislature could pass a law, nor can the judiciary uphold the law, nor can the executive actually enforce a law. All laws will

be gone. And in addition to overruling every law, having late term abortion literally up till the time that the baby is born, it will require funding state taxpayer funding for abortion. So that's why it's so deceptive. It's absolutely extreme. It is not some just minor limitation on the government. It's an abolition of everything. It makes abortion into the back alley. Butchers that the other side oftentimes decries about this will make a floor to the most extreme state

in the nation. And once you get it in the constitution.

to go back and try to modify it. But if you pass up Amendment four and you say yes, I'm Amendment for you can't do anything that's abortion through all nine months of pregnancy of tel birth and consequently, even those that are in favor of abortion. Maybe somebody has a fifteen week line and no abortions after that, well

this will say abortion at any time. Tell birth, yep, this will be you know, in your ninth month, just before you reach the womb, even as you're breaching the womb because we've had situations where babies are partially born, dismember and killed in the birth process. That happens all the time, and this will be happening on a regular basis if Amendment four has passed.

problems inside. Matt Staver with Us from Liberty Council. Matt, one of the things that I'm really troubled by is that a lot of the polling that's being done is misleading people by putting a number next to viability and it is solely completely undefined, as are several other things in there. Talk a little bit about that deception of winning people over by putting things in questions and polling questions that just don't exist in the ballot language.

no definition for anything. There's no definition for healthcare provider, which that therefore opens up the door for fifty eight categories of individuals, which include of which have no medical licensing, which includes for example, an orthotic shoe fitter and even the assistant to an orthotic shoe fitter. They will be able to participate in and speak directly, to give recommendations, determine whether something is viable or not, even perform abortions.

So all of those individuals will be empowered because there's no definition. There's no definition for viability.

the womb on your own? No, I mean you're always going to need some kind of help, right, So, viability is not defined, and so a poll that even uses the word viability is inaccurate in its responses from the get go, because while the particular piece of amendment uses viability, no law up until viability can restrict it also says, or you know, even after viability, wherever that point is, it's undefined, you can still have an abortion if a

healthcare provider says so, And that means an orthotic shoefitter, a nine to one one operator, and so many other things that are considered healthcare practitioners or healthcare providers within the statute. So that means abortions through all nine months. So any poll that tries to say, are you in favor of amendment for to restrict abortion up to viability, and if that's the question, the answer is wrong because that's deceptive. I think that's what we're seeing in some

of these polls. It's absolutely deceptive, and it's designed to make people think, oh, my goodness, there's a whole bunch of people that vote for this say yes, So maybe I ought to be one of those people and not be on the losing side of this. That's what these poles are designed to do. They're all media propagana.

And you know, your colleague John Stenberger, who is a long friend of mine, once said about marriage, if marriage can mean anything, marriage means nothing. And if these words can mean anything, these words mean nothing. There are no limits.

blaming me apparently as well as Steve Stewart. That's funny. That's very funny. I guess we might chat on that a little bit. Pause for thought, tomorrow road trip idea, and of course much much more. This is kind of interesting. Suzanne Smith forty six of Tampa picking up trash on Bayshore Boulevard in Safety Harbor when she saw a bottle this is in the wake of Hurricane Debbie quoting there was sand in it, but you could clearly see the writing.

You could see the beautiful penmanship. The letter was almost rolled outside, so you could see the writing. It stood out. She opened the bottle letter accompanied by sand, a coffee stick, bullet casing, and a miniature cannonball, and the letter was dated March fourth, nineteen forty five, letter head marked the United States Navy Amphibious Training Base Little Creek, Virginia. The letter opens DEARLYE received your letter yesterday, was glad to

hear from. You can't tell who wrote it. It's being analyzed by the Navy to see if they can figure out who sent it. But it was someone starting radio school and promising to write again. And so the Public Affairs Office for the United States Navy said officials at the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Fort Story, more than eight hundred miles from Safety Harbor, are investigating, investigating see if they can identify the sender or the recipient of

the letter. So there you go. Just interesting. Tomorrow on this show, I have a story of what may be the oldest message in a bottle ever found that has been washed ashore. It's fascinating stuff. That kind of thing just is you just never know what you're gonna find. Brought to you by Baron No Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show on WFLA look back at the program and of one hundred and eighty seconds or less two Timothy one verse seven is where we started the radio program.

We we shared some morning Joe spiked the just lunacy of Joe Scarborough. I mean, really he he

can't take himself seriously, but he does. And his alpal Mika Bruzhinski, they both apparently, I don't know, they kind of had a thing and their marriages went south and they became a thing together as a couple type whatever. Iranian officials say that a cease fire in Gaza will cause them to not take retaliatory actions against Israel. We ask why. We also ask why some dude getting bad advice in a prison in Mexico matters in a US court case when the guy's mirandized. I don't get that

details in the podcast, you can listen to it. Trans Golfer doesn't understand athletes who blame transgender competitions on their own athletic failures. Whatever.
