Good morning, everybody.
It's over the day.
After the debate.
We will unpack all that in due time. But welcome to Wednesday. Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, the hooded wonder somehow, I don't know how he does what he does. My man Jose is over there wearing a hoodie with his headphones over the hoodie.
Oh my.
September eleventh. More on that date in history and mere moments. But we begin, as always with scripture, and again we're stacking. We're in Romans five, and we started with verse one on Monday. Therefore, since we have been justified by our faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Yesterday we went to verse two that adds, through him, we have also obtained access by faith into His grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of
the glory of God. Now today verse three, not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance. Now we'll pause there because it continues, But let's think about that for a second. We live in a fallen world. If you go back to the early pages of Genesis, you recognize God's plan was for earth to just be amazing, and in many regards it is, but.
It's tainted.
It's tainted by the choice that Adam and Eve made and the subsequent impact of that in all of our lives, which is we are. We have a proclivity to sin. It's our nature until we're redeemed by Christ. And then you still have to fight it. Vines, the scourge of my yard, thorny vines. That's a result of the fall. Every time you look and see those things climbing and destroying trees and buildings and phone lines and power line, that is the fall living in front of you. We
suffer through difficult times, troubling times. We're guaranteed to face troubles. You will have them. As a Christian. You're not insulated from them. It's just that we have a redeemer, and and this verse reminds us we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance. When you lift weights, anyone that's a weightlifter, you work out, you get on the treadmill,
whatever it might be, you're suffering. It's not fun afterwards, it might be, but as you're exerting and doing it's work that suffering produces though endurance in the same way when we go through difficult times, we're building up a different set of muscles knowing God has us. God's like the ultimate spotter, right, I got this, I got this, helping you lift that weight.
You max it out on your bench and you're.
Oh, you can feel like going back down on your chest and he say, I got this, I got this, and he helps you lift it up. Ten minutes past the hour. It's September eleventh, and it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott, always looking for the truth. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WMLA.
Nine eleven.
My show started in the wake of nine to eleven March of two thousand and two. We were still reeling from what happened, and I vowed to you each and every September eleventh.
We would never ever forget.
We have a very tragic alert for you right now. An incredible plane crash into the World Trade Center here at the lower tip of Manhattan, coming.
From the blow then of the World Trade Center.
But we're being called a second plane. A second plane into the building.
On the opposite end that's not an accident.
That's a perfect heavy backs. Locals coming out all side of pay heavy heavy diamon.
Through the upper portion off the building.
Explosion number on the upper port number tour off from the explosion on the upper pours.
Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country.
I thought people were coming off from all sides of the building.
People jumping out.
People just kept jumping and jumping and jumping, and you could still see they were alive because they were flying around.
I was ten minutes light, not even I was ten.
Momuentes fo working there, work on the heavy six o'clock.
What seems to have happened is that.
We had an aircraft intentionally fly into the Pentagon.
I did see, uh, you know, the here the blast, and I saw the smoke rising from the from the crash.
Later and this is, you know, just shortly after hearing the news about.
The crashes of the World Trade Towers.
Many in the building felt a thud and heard kind of a muffled explosion.
From the midst of a tragedy.
You know that.
Some people jumping from the building from one hundreds floor and some feeling just coming down.
I hope I live. I hope I lived.
It's coming down on me.
Care cons I'm getting behind the car.
We do have a confirmation of apparently another plane crash about eighty miles south north east of Pittsburgh City.
Wiz im going down for.
Today is obviously one of the most difficult days in the history of the city and the country. The tragedy that we're all undergoing right now is something that we've had nightmares about but probably thought wouldn't happen.
This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey.
And Connecticut and were more in the laws are.
Thousands of our cities.
I can hear you.
I can hear you.
The rest of the world hears you.
And the people.
And the people who knocked these boilings down want you all of us soon. We take a moment here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott on September eleventh, to remember those who died on this day in two thousand and one and those who died subsequent to it, attempting to bring justice to the families that lost loved ones and.
This country. Let's take a moment. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All Right, today's program, I'm going to rely on you. I have. I've looked at parts of the debate.
I've read probably six to eight commentaries and reports on it.
I've listened to sound bites I have.
I've looked at my email. I've gotten reviews from some folks that are kind of sophisticated when it comes to this stuff.
I want to know what you think.
If you watched, We're going to take phone calls next hour. Set aside a little bit of time. I want your impressions. I will share some of the notable highlights, sort of highlights low lights in just a little bit in the big stories in the press box. It is the big story today. We also will talk with Craig Rucker. He's with c Fact Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. He's the president, co founder. I get his thoughts on the debate as well as he's pushing hard getting states to ban sell
phones from schools. I have no objection to a student having a phone. I have an objection to a student using the phone unless it's an emergency. Phones should be put out, down off unless there's an emergency like an active shooter. Other than that, go to the office, make your phone call. And if you need your cell phone to do that, that's fine, you can do it sitting in the office. But anyway, this segment of the program, we talk about food, we talked about auctions. Auction has happened,
Golden auctions. Check this out in New Jersey. A logo man patch card. You know what a patch card is.
It is a thing.
This is a really popular growing in popularity by almost just the quantum in which this is leaping in popularity is crazy. They feature a part of a game, warn Jersey of the person. So you're not only getting a card and maybe it's autographed, maybe it's not. But the most expensive ones, you've got the card of the athlete and you've got a notable part of the of a game Warren Jersey on on the card. It's it's a thing,
it's a patch, it's a piece. And then if there's a signature of the player, oh my goodness, a Kobe Bryant, and of course Kobe Bryant died in that tragic, totally unnecessary helicopter crash with his daughter, just just one of the saddest days. That card, though sold for one point five eight million dollars.
Piece of a.
Game warn jersey signed by Kobe Crazy. A Kenner Star Wars rocket firing Boba Fett action figure from nineteen seventy nine. It's the j Slot V two two Missiles action figure sold for one point three million dollars. Some other interesting items. Rick Flair's match worn nature Boy Jungle design robe sold for one hundred and three thousand dollars. Patrick Mahomes sixth career game use signed and inscribed Kansas City Chiefs home jersey sold for two hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars.
An Elite Auction eighty four eighty five star one on one Michael Jordan Rookie card sold for two hundred and forty four thousand dollars. You know what's interesting, Go back just a second. What makes us interesting is this is where some people are investing their money. They're investing in things like this A because they feel it appreciates in value better depending on what you're buying, and B it's more fun to talk about. It's an interesting thing to
have on display in your home. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, what happened last night? I'll give you a little bit of it.
Next Mayor of Realville, dispensing information at the speed of sound.
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott's.
Well, big stories in the press box here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Hose can you see over there in Studio.
One A We've got I've got a little sound. I'm not.
If you watch the debate, I want to hear from you next hour. The big question. There were several questions coming in. Number one and this one is kind of your baseline, and we sort of knew what was.
Going to happen. It was on ABC.
They hate Trump, and it was clear the moderators were not fair. They fact checked Trump all night long. They did not fact check check Harris and I'm I'm speaking broadly, of course, and so you had to know going in. And so the second question becomes part of that. Could Trump be disciplined? And that was a common theme in the build up to this that I brought up. I was not alone. That's what a lot of people were wondering. Would he take de bait?
He did.
Trump basically didn't spend much time talking about a future. It was all rear view mirror stuff. Did he win the debate, probably not. Did Kamala win, probably not? But did Trump lose the debate?
Probably?
You had to be disciplined when you're taking this nationwide audience. Look, if you're a Trump supporter, this isn't moving you. If you're a Harris supporter, none of this is going to move you. These debates aren't for you. These debates are for undecided voters. There are some there are people really wrestling with their conscience.
And so.
You then look at what was said. Kamala Harris said during the debate that she's not coming after anyone's guns, that in fact, she's a gun owner. Well, here's the problem with all of that. This is Kamala not in the debate. These are what she said.
Do about the millions of specifically assault weapons that are already in circulation, What do you do about those? Well, there are approximately five million.
To your point, Craig, we have to have a buyback program, and I for a mandatory buyback program.
It's got to be smart. We got to do it the right way.
That's gun confiscation, a mandatory buyback program. Lest you think you heard wrong, here she is with Jimmy Fallon.
Do you believe in the mandatory buyback of quote unquote assault weapons.
Taking questions from an audience, Let's let's let's let's reseet this. Taking questions from an audience. Here's a student.
Do you believe in the mandatory buyback of quote unquote assault weapons? And whether or not you do, how does that idea not go against fundamentally the Second Amendment?
Yeah, great question.
I do believe that we need to do buy back.
The moderators, we're not going to press her. This is the lack of discipline on Trump. You drilled down on policy flip flops. Now, to that end, Trump did have one really good moment. His final remarks were pretty good, and in the midst of the debate he did say this, everything.
That she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window. She's going to my philosophy.
Now.
In fact, I was going to send her a maga hat. She's gone to my philosophy. But if she ever got elected, she'd change it and it will be the end of our country.
That of course courtesy of ABC and the presidential debate. Had Trump just stayed focused, it was you didn't need the moderators to fact check. All he needed to do was stay laser focused on connecting, and he did somewhat, connecting Kamla to Joe and addressing things like private insurance.
She wants to do away with it.
She lied about fracking. She said, she's not She's she's not going to stop fracking. Except that, just listen to this outtake.
I made that very clear in twenty twenty.
I will not ban fracking.
There's no question.
I'm in favor of banning fracking, finally putting it into fracking once.
And for all.
What is the solution for voters in the fossil fuel industry?
Giving the workers an ability to transition and they will.
Have the intensive training to make the transition to transition to transition.
Coal miners yes, Oil deal workers yep, Auto workers, farmers.
Let's transition those folks.
So if someone loses their job because of actions we take, because of actions we take on climate change, that we try to get them a job.
Yeah, that's that's Dave McCormick, who's running for Senate. That's banning fracking. I don't know what else to say. Forty two minutes past the hour, back with more of the Morning Show.
Those serving communities, as law enforcement officers and first responders.
I say you are all essential workers.
Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
So, Donald Trump was not nearly as disciplined as he needed to be. And one thing is abundantly clear. No matter what Kamala is saying now, she has a record. You heard just bits of it. She has a legislative record. Bernie Sanders, of all people before the debate ever happened, Bernie said, Look, she's being pragmatic. She's saying things now to try to assuage fears, to curry favor. Remember she
is left of Bernie Sanders, Justin Haskins yesterday. If you vote for her, you are voting for a socialist Marxist period. End of question. So if this, if some of you go that route, I love you. But what happens as a result is all on you. It's all on you. Here's what's interesting. You ever heard of Jill Stein? You knew Jill Stein is? You're nod in your head, you know who Jill Stein is. I didn't know who Jill Stein was. Why do you know who Jill Stein was?
Jose or is? The name just sounds very, very familiar. Okay, but you don't know who she is. You've heard the name. I can't tell you off the top of my head.
But as soon as you tell me, yeah, but you don't know who she is, I'll be like, yeah, I know who she is.
No, but you don't know who she is. You just you recognize her name.
Yeah, okay, So so she has not connected a name with Well, who is she?
All right?
So you recognize the name. I didn't even recognize the name. She's a third party candidate, she's the she leads the Green Party.
Yes, yeah, that's where I know her from. Yeah, sure you do.
You know?
Do you know Jill Stein? Yeah, sure I do. Okay, how I don't know? But as soon as you tell me, ra.
Well, I considered many moons ago voting for her back in my fallen state.
Well, you would be along with the Muslims of America. Because here's what's interesting. Muslims in swing states are going to her. Why does that matter? Because she will bleed votes from Kamala Harris in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin among Islamic voters, which clearly are not a majority, although in Michigan they're growing. Jill Stein leads among Muslim voters in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. That's enough to swing a vote to swing an election in those states.
That's interesting.
This story from Just the News is fascinating to me. Overall, Stein and Harris are tied with Muslim voters. That's crazy. Anyway, forty seven minutes after the hour come back. I'm going to ask you for your help. All right, I said I needed your help because in this audience there are multiple people with answers to any question I may ask. I do not have the answer for this. My wife went sir for this answer because it was thrown our way. She couldn't really find the answer. We've looked online for
the answer. In the state of Florida, how does someone get a Class C driver's license that is not CDL. There is a non CDL Class C driver's license where you're allowed to drive oversized vans and trucks that don't have a trailer and a maximum gross weight of I don't know, twenty six thousand pounds something like that. But it's not a tractor trailer. It's not a commercial CDL, it's a non CDL Class C.
What do you do to get one. Where do you? Where do you get information?
Do you do you take a special test? Do you take a class somewhere? If so, where, how what do you do? I'm not taking calls on that, I'm taking emails on that with links because I've looked, We've looked. Love to know the answer to the question. Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Preston at iHeartRadio dot com, would love to understand because we've looked at the all of the driving courses out there no mention of a non CDL Class C. But we know it exists. We know it exists.
Can't find information on it, So feel fay to email me Preston at iHeartRadio dot com. Now here's what we're going to take calls for, and the phone lines are open eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Terry wrote in that debate was what every guy deals with in a divorce. Her snarky facial expressions, her lie upon lie upon lie, her personal attacks. How could he reply the same way and win? He could sell his future every time he opened his mouth and her and ABC would
respond as they did. Okay, Terry, Terry listening to us from Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. See, I don't think it matters what Kamala and the moderators do in response. You stay disciplined, You stay on your message because you're speaking to the independence of this country. You're not speaking to ABC, You're not speaking to Kamala. You're speaking to voters. They don't
care about the past. Yeah, you can touch on it here and there, but you stay laser focused on why we're in the mess we're in, how your economic policies worked before, and how they will work again. If you want to be on the program, did you watch the debate? If so, what's your what's your analysis? Eight five zero two zero five w FLA. All right, we got three lines open A five zero two zero five w FLA. I want to know if you watch the debate, your
impressions of it. It don't doesn't matter to me whether you think someone won or lost, or who you are. You're you know, supporting or maybe you're an independent. I just want to hear what you think happened last night? What what is your appraisal of the debate. I would also be curious if you chose not to intend like intentionally like you like I'm up, But I'm not watching that, and I would love to know why. Eight five zero two zero five w f l A. John has been
very patiently waiting. Good morning, John, thanks for calling in. You watched last night?
Huh?
Yes, sir, from finished end.
Uh.
I think anybody that watched it would say it didn't move the needle for him. I mean, if you were already supporting her, nothing changed your mind. If you're already supporting him, nothing changed your mind. I think he had a lot of missed opportunities to wipe the fool with her, but his personality just wouldn't let him get past being needled by her.
Uh.
And plus it was you know, they were the moderators were back checking him and not doing not saying anything about this nonsense she was spewing. So anyway, I say it wouldn't. I wasn't surprised, but I was. I was really hoping he'd he'd make her cry or something.
John, let me ask you, I want to get to that for a second. Here were you watching to see how Trump would do more than you were remotely interested in anything Kamala Harris would say or do.
Yeah, Yeah, I was, I was. I was hoping he would be a little more poised and stay focused. But nothing happened that surprised me. But nothing happened that made me say, no, I can't, I can't vote for my Billfold would beat me up if I was to support Harris.
Yeah, our bill Fold's already being beat up right now. So John, thanks very much. I appreciate you calling in this morning. Eight five zero two zero five wfl A. Now, I made a prediction to my boss. He'd he He told me that he was doing what's called a push notification that we're going to be talking about the debate today in the program. And you know, regardless of that, I decided I wanted to do this just to hear from any of you. But I made this prediction. I said,
I'm not sure there's much interest. I'm not sure many people are going to watch. And I'm staring at empty phone lines right now, which seems to validate what I think about this. Now, again, you're certainly welcome to call in. I've got other things that are sort of related to the presidential debate last night. You know, now Kamala Harris wants another one because they felt like she did really good, and I mean, you know, considering the expectations were as
low as they were. I guess you would say she did well, but she was She was not ever challenged to really explain her record. She was never fact check on her claims to not want to confiscate guns, to ban fracking, to ban private healthcare. I mean, the border was not really exploited at all. So again I welcome your feedback, but I do have some other related things to get to if you don't want to call in. Eight five zero two zero five WFLA is the number.
We got another caller standing by. We'll get to that next eight five zero two zero five WFLA. Ten minutes past the hour, back with more of The Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
You know, I think Rob's right again.
Wants to see the reaction in Springfield, Ohio today because the moderators Kamala Harris said nothing's going on out of the usual in Springfield, Ohio, which is just patently false, but he didn't drill down on that. Jeffrey, thanks for calling in. Why did you watch the debate? I'm curious what your motivation was to watch?
Okay, Well, Preston First of all, you know, like occasionally you mentioned that you don't drink, and I can understand how you appreciate that, and I occasionally mentioned the people. I haven't known the TV in probably thirty years or so, but in any event, I found that occasionally for events, I can get on the internet and watch something. So
I haven't watched the presidential debate in probably decades. So I thought, well, I thought, okay, I'm gonna watch this to see because I was concerned that Trump might, you know, put his quit in his mouth, as he occasionally and sometimes frequently does, and I was also interested to see if miss Harris was able to put any sentences together in paragraphs. So I decided I'm going to watch it. So I missed about the first ten minutes of it,
but then I watched the entire debates. And first of all, I don't think debates are too well done in this country anyways. But in any event, I think it was obvious that the moderators were biased. I think, you know, going into that, knowing that it was CBS or whatever, it was okay that it was going to be somewhat biased. But as I watched it, and I watched the whole daggum thing. I thought, I thought, I thought. I thought Trump did a good job. He kept referring to she,
He kept referring to that administration. Any time she made statements, he would then make sure. And I think he was pretty good at this that, being in the alphamel that he is, he was, he made certain that on many occasions he was going to reply to statements that she made, and I think he was very affirming about that. I think he did a good job, and I think he brought up the multitude of mistakes that this Biden Harris
administration has made. And I will also add to it that anybody who doesn't realize it's funny months ago people would say Biden's never gonna get never gonna not run because Harris she's going to ruin it if she ever gets there. That woman's a charmer, and she knows how. She's got an emotional intensity to her and a charm to her that as many emotionally oriented men and many
many women, of course, they find her just wonderful. She said nothing of any major substance last night, and most often, when specific questions were asked to her, she was able to as the politicians always do trail off into some of her comments that she makes on many of her stump presentation.
All right, Jeffrey, I got a role brother. Thank you very much. I appreciate the comment. Let's go to Patricia. What do you think?
Well, I only watched about three quarters of it. I couldn't handle any more of it. It was just a waste of time, And honestly, I don't think anybody's mind was changed at all. I think Trump missed a lot of opportunities by not getting into specifics as far as facts about the economy, facts about the border, and what
has happened since then. He went off on a tangent about the cats and dogs in Ohio when he could have said, look, this is a small community of fifty thousand people that have had twenty thousand people dumped on their doorstep. How does any community handle something like that? So there were lots of missed opportunities, and she did not answer any question. She dodged around them. But I can tell you anybody that's a hair supporter thought she did great and honestly for what I expected, I thought
she did a good job too. I think she was well prepared. I think she was told the questions in advance, and that did put Trump, to some degree to a disadvantage. She tried to go them one time by talking about how his you know, I challenge you to go to his rallies because people leave there. They're bored, and they leave those rallies. And he said, those rallies are about him, they're not about you, and I'm all about you, And so she tried to go to him a few times.
He took the bake some degree, but he didn't get out of control, and I was glad about that. Yeah, it was a nothing burger.
Thank you very much, Patricia, appreciate the call. We've got Mike, and then Barbara and then jan eight five zero two zero five to WFLA is the number, but we're probably only to get to three callers next when we come back. I also want to hear from Ose. He watched some of this, some of this. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
All right, back to the phone lines. Mike, good morning, thanks for joining in on the program. Your thoughts on the debate.
Last night, Well, I think.
Initially they tried to go frump a lot, especially with the generosis and abort something you could clearly tell Kamala had rehearsed what she wanted to say. But I think when they went for the break, Frank came back and he ended up stronger when he focused on what have you been doing in the past three years? Like so, I think initially you Kamala was on point because he
had rehead most of the what you say? And then Trump ended the night stronger with that message if he had stayed on top of the whole time.
Fair enough, Mike, Thanks very much, always good to hear from you. Appreciate your phone call. Let's go to Barbara. Hello, Barbara, thanks for calling in Hi. How are you good?
Yes, the day was okay. Kamala Harris is a liar, and I say Trump put her in her place with his closing statement that said everything because she's done nothing for three and a half years, Why all of a sudden is she gonna do it now?
Barbara? Let me ask you this.
I've read a lot of commentaries that said Trump's best moments were at the end, but he missed multiple opportunities through the entire debate, and a lot of people weren't watching at the end.
Unfortunately, Yes, because I was not going to watch it to the end, but I did, And do you agree I missed opportunities.
Okay.
I think he was told to restrain himself because he can get off on a tangent.
Also, oh yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And he was trying to, you know, keep it to the.
Subjects fair enough. A lot of people, thank you, Barbara.
A lot of people think he took the bait way too often though, that he he did not just stay focused on her record, her policies, her flip flops on positions. You know, are you willing to say on national television right now that you support fracking, that you support private health care? That you you will not because that's not what you've said your entire senatorial career, That's not what you said as vice president of this country. I would have just absolutely hung her upside down on that stuff.
Jan Thanks for calling in good morning.
Yes, I knew going into this. I was afraid to even watch it because I knew that she would be a good debater. And I will give her that credit. She is a very good debater, and she knows how to impress people with the you know, the sexy smile on all of this. But it was very obvious that when Trump said that her father was a Marxist, she just totally, you know, forgot about that respond to that, went on to something else very quickly. I thought that
jumped out at me. And I know that Trump was told to just chill out, but his demeanor just upset me, because he stood there with this horrible frown on his face and at times looked like he was asleep actually, And I don't know, it just was. I was very uneasy through the whole thing.
She won.
I mean, she's a good debater and that part of she won, and I just I think he could have done a much better job. So I was not happy when it ended.
Thanks very much, Jan. One more caller, and that's Jim. Good morning, Jim.
Good morning, mister Scott.
How are you good? What are your thoughts on what you watched?
Well, I'm gonna give you a little background real quick. Up until about four years ago, I was a lifelong Democrat, and four years ago I had had enough and decided that I was going to switch parties.
Okay, and I did that.
I'll never vote Democrat again. And last night it was just basically all one sided. And I watched it with a group of people, and the group of people, the general consensus was is that she was prepared because it seemed like she knew what they were going to ask.
It does seem that well, and it.
Seemed to the group, and this was Democrats and Republicans, and they both agreed that it seemed like she had already had the questions in hand and prepared herself for it. But I'll never vote Democrat again because basically, in my opinion, the Democratic Party has changed so much that it's not about this country anymore. It's about themselves.
Thank you, Jim, appreciate your offering your analysis here. Yeah, I've heard it described as a three on one knife fight.
I have.
I also Belie leave to your point about knowing the questions. I think that's why she won't go to Fox. She's not going to get the questions at Fox. She's just not Brettbear is not going to feed him to Trump. He's not going to feed him to.
Harris.
But there's no doubt in my mind she got fed those questions anyway. Thanks for your phone calls. Twenty seven minutes after the hour, come back with the big stories in the press box, kind of a reset of the debate.
With some more precision.
All right, recapping the big story in the press box, which is was the debate.
Yawn, Sorry, I just.
I agree with most the consensus of what I'm getting via email and your calls. Yeah, yeah, No one was surprised by anything other than the Kamala didn't get into words salad, which to me speaks to the fact that she knew the questions. She's proven time and time and time again she's incapable of forming a cohesive thought, a coherent thought. She was prepared good for her good. She also lied her pants off. Now I mentioned jose watch this thing. I had warned him not to two reasons. One,
it will cause brain cells to drop off his his brain. Secondly, he gets up early, but he ignored my advice as always. And so what was your impression of the debate?
Real quick? I thought Trump did good.
You know, he didn't look over at Kamala that that much at all. She was constantly looking at him and like talking to him. As for Trump was you know, talking to the people.
She was mugging. She was mugging for the camera.
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, all those facial expressions. Uh, As I stated, I wanted to gouge my eyeballs out afterwards, having to look at her face for that long.
Making those faces, yeah, making making those faces. Yeah, a lot of them are real petty.
You know.
I think she was way pettier than I thought Trump was gonna be petty. But she was, you know, pretty petty, trying to talk out of turn, and you know, he was like, excuse me, excuse me, I'm talking quiet.
Yeah, he dropped, He dropped the Mike Pence lying on her. It was pretty funny. Yeah, okay, So your overall impression though, was.
Uh?
I think overall Trump did pretty good. Uh, you know, it was a it was a three versus one really because those the moderators, the moderators, Yeah, they were definitely on Kamala's side, you know, quickly fact checking him and then just letting her just say all these outlandish things that have been debunked, you know, years and years. So, but it was it was interesting and I couldn't stay for it all.
Yeah, I told him he went to bed before Trump actually was good.
Yeah, and again I don't after looking at what I've looked at, after reading what I've read, and I've read responses to this on both sides of the aisle. I think Kamala outperformed expectations, and I think that she did not win. But I do believe Trump lost. Trump did not win the debate. If you're going to if you had to declare a winner, it would be Kamala Harris. But I believe Trump lost it because Trump had ample opportunity to just destroy her with her record, with Biden's record.
Joe Biden's not running. I'm not Joe Biden. Uh, you kind of are, because you've been right there and you said you were the last person in the room.
She's also not Trump. I don't know if you knew that. Thank you.
That's the kind of insight and analysis that we offer here. So we've now settled. I am not Trump. No, I would have debated very differently had had Trump allowed me to stand in for him. He was counseled, he was begged. He did take the bait some some It wasn't terrible, but he missed opportunities. If you will, It's kind of like losing a foot fotball game on field goals and safeties and no one scored a touchdown. So Kamala won
five to nothing. You know, a field goal and a safety because the offense fumbled the ball into the backfield and they got kicked around and ended up in the end zone and then they jumped on you and it was a safety. That's what this is. So anyway, forty minutes past the hour back with more of the Morning show.
Have we as a nation forgotten about September eleventh?
I think we have.
I think we have. I think that we're in a society that is short term, short focus, you know, it's real short attention span. And I feel that, you know, when that happened, America was so united, but then a couple of years it just we're back to being split again. And I blame that on the political system as well. I mean, they divide you by a Republican or Democrat, you know, they don't they want you to pick a side, whereas it shouldn't even be about that.
It's nine to eleven and we started the program with obviously God's Word, but we also aired a montage and spent a moment of silence remembering those who died and the families left behind who will grieve for the rest of their lives. We've got more on that in just a few moments, got a blog up dealing with that.
That's pretty alarming when you consider it's twenty three years ago. You know, it's hose A. Just last hour was like I think it was in the last half hours, like it's been twenty three years.
And yeah, it in one hand, it seems like jes yesterday. But that's what happens with those types of events. Pearl Harbor felt like that to our parents' generation, my parents' generation never going to forget that. It seems as though, not only are we still uncovering things about nine to eleven, which I will get to in mere moments COVID did
you know then Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. Inside five hundred and fifty five thousand pages of documents in over fifty hours of sworn testimony, it has been determined that the Governor of New York edited official documents about all of the nursing home deaths during COVID. He edited the state report to hide the number of people dying. All of the decisions were wrong. The deaths that were reported frequently were not COVID deaths. We've documented that time
and again. That's not even debatable that number was used to frighten people into submission, into getting shots, into wearing masks, into social distancing, into closing schools, into closing offices and buildings and businesses. And I can prove that to you.
That's easy.
But we're still getting information. Remember remember Pfizer wanted seventy five years to release.
Its documents on the shots seventy five.
There is no reasonable explanation for that other than wanting everybody that's questioning it to be dead, including them, the key players. They are dead before anything would ever possibly happen. Of course, it has been sped up, but we're still not We're still not through it all.
A report out there showing that.
There's an excess of one hundred and fifty five thousand deaths by acute kidney injury since late twenty twenty in the US alone. That is an excess, and so according to a report by a renowned statistician, John Podine. In the report, excess death is a figure above the expected baseline, meaning an extra one hundred and fifty five thousand Americans
died from acute kidney injury. And in the report, it says quoting investigations prove that only COVID mRNA shots and possibly COVID nineteen hospital protocols could be responsible for the state aggering excess deaths from kidney failure. We're just learning this. See time will only reveal certain things. You are noticing an uptick in ever since the shots, young people dying suddenly, died suddenly, young man Port Saint Joe died suddenly on
the football field, died suddenly. How why forty eight minutes after the hour, I gotta pause, take a break.
Bom bom boom, boom, boom boom.
Yeah, September eleventh, on the Morning Show, in preparation for the I was really, honestly, I was saddened that we had to deal with the debate because I would I would much rather have spent more time talking about nine to eleven. And I know that many might say, well, what's there to talk about? Interestingly enough, there's actually quite a bit to talk about. Just happened to come across a piece sixty minutes excerpt that was highlighted by Sunday Morning on CBS, and so it's a it's a it's
a little six minute clip. Do you know anything about the video that was suddenly announced admitted to in June of this year, twenty two and a half years and some change. After nine to eleven, this video is released to the public. It was turned over to the FBI
in the weeks after the nine to eleven terrorist attacks. Now, according to Scotland Yard, they did a raid of the apartment home of an Omar al Bayoumi, who's he well according to US now he's a Saudi intelligence agent who had connections with two of the hijackers, and the video is him two years before.
On the video in Washington, d C.
Casing all of the buildings, the White House, the Capitol, Washington's Monument and referring to in the video the plan also in the video, our our two Saudi embassy employees. Go to my blog page and watch the video.
Good morning friends, Welcome.
It is show five thousand, two hundred and thirty two of The Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston over there is Jose can you see in Studio one am here in Studio one B. And as we turn the page on the rundown heading to the third hour of the show, we are pleased to have back with us. Craig Rucker, he's co founder of c Fact and committee for a constructive tomorrow, and he's currently serving as president.
Craig, welcome back.
How are you, sir, Oh doing great? Thanks for having me back on your program.
Tell me this.
Did you spend any time watching the debate last night? If so, what were your impressions.
Oh, I saw it from beginning to end, and you know, I was a little disappointed. I thought, in balance that Kamala, of course, you know, she had the support, and I didn't make a prediction that we were going around at the hosts would be very much in favor and try to protect her and coddle her and go after Trump
for fact checking. And that proved to be true. And that wasn't too hard for me to figure out, because CNN got a lot of blowback during their debate for actually conducting a fair debate, So I didn't think they'd make that mistake twice, and they did not. That said, I do think Kamala came in kind of prepared. I do think Trump was disappointing. I think, though of course I support him, I think he was not as prepared as I would like to have seen him be, and
he missed a lot of opportunities. Again, it wasn't a fair debate. I think there were some things against him. I don't think he lost quite as bad as some people are saying he did, and they're kind of embellishing it. But again a lot of missed opportunities.
It had to absolutely blow your mind to listen to Kamala Harris blatantly lie about her position on fracking a special given that you are co producer of a pretty pretty well regarded film called Climate Hustle.
It absolutely is, I mean to be honest with you. She was a co author of the Green New Deal. She also put in for you know, also was a very big opponent of fracking. She's been behind the whole thing with electric vehicle mandates and trying to get all the big automakers to push cars on the American public that they don't even want. You know, it's not that saying that there aren't that isn't for some people, but to make it a mandate was crazy idea. She's she's
an a radical environmental extremist. And Trump, you know, did they only asked one question that was toward the end that had to do with the climate issue, and Kamala, you know, whitewashed all this, and Trump, I think wisely, this is actually a good part of his debate, talked about manufacturing jobs going down to Mexico, and so I actually don't necessarily object to Trump trying to skirt the issue.
But you know, Kamala is never she's walking and backtracking from her extreme position that she's held for a number of years. And I don't blame her for doing that because they're not popular, any of these positions. But again, these these show hosts don't press her on any of these things. They kind of just take what she says and let it skirt. And it's discouraging when you see that.
Craig, We're going to have a couple segments to go a little bit more in depth, but just for our listeners, give a little snapshot of you talk about the extremism that exists on the left and with illiberals on the subject of climate change and energy policy, and the list goes on and on, but it is now filtered down into our children and kindergarteners. Kind of give us a quick snapshot of that, and then we'll go a little deeper in a minute.
Oh my goodness, Yes, they actually have a psychological disorder. It's coming with kids that deals with climate anxiety, and it's become a whole field of modern psychology. And this comes from the fact that most of the K through twelve curriculum now is inculcated with climate propaganda, and it's always very negative, saying that you know, we're all going to die, basically, that the cities are going to be flooded, the polar bears are going to die. And this is
part and parcel. It's actually woven into each of the curriculums. It's not just a science curriculum, but they'll actually have math problems that are designed to push the climate agenda. They have a whole host of things that they try to do just in order to make it kind of
a way of thinking. And this is the type of thing that's going on in our public schools and we have been fighting for quite a while to try and change that, but it's deeply embedded and it's become kind of orthodoxy for the political left to push this thing. It's a big concern and one that we've been working on for quite a while to try to change.
We're going to talk more in depth with Craig Rucker about that. He is co founder of Sea Fact. And let me just quote, they're telling kids of the inescapable death spiral. That's a quote of climate change that's coming from your federal government through your public schools. More Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott Craig Rucker, president
of Sea Fact, Maybe four a constructive Tomorrow. It is a nonpartisan think tank, the kind of focus on the free market environmental issues, and Craig, we were just talking about this. I don't know how to really phrase it. I mean, this isn't about inappropriate subject matter for kids, I e. You know, people commit bad crimes and we're just going to not talk about that stuff with little children, even though there's a reality out there in the evil
of the world. We're talking about intentional disinformation and propagandizing our children to try to somehow do what what are they trying to accomplish?
I think that when they get them on. I always call it the little kind of entry drug that gets you into the whole mindset of liberalism, because gateway drug, I guess you could call it, because once you buy the climate alarmist theory, then it becomes the only solutions are big government ones, ones, that kind of not unlike the COVID crisis, that we have to band together, we have to give up certain liberties because we're all going
to die if we don't. And so I think that people become more socie factible to that if they swallow hook line and sinker that there is a climate crisis that's going to destroy all of humanity within, you know, as AOC said by twenty thirty, So I think that's a lot of it. It's just become a montra with these guys. This is how they work. They have, for example, a climate core and this is something Kamala Harris was
big and putting in. They actually call it a climate corp where young people can actually be employed to go out and fight climate change. You say, well, what in the world are they doing to fight climate change? Well, they're not really doing anything. They're more like picking up trash and maybe going out and clearing brush or debris or doing surveys. You know, it's a good question, but
they're not really fighting climate change. But they feel that they're getting involved and they're part of this cause and they start owning it and they become part of the collective movement of those I mean, you know, on the political left, because they're now championing the cause that they control everything about. I mean, how do we know if
we're going to be actually able to stop the climate change? Well, anything the Republican does, of course won't help it, but anything they do helps it, which is all kind of dystopian because neither one is really impacting the climate.
Craig NASA has this page called Climate Kids. If I remember correctly, it was instituted under the Obama administration in twenty twelve. First of all, what was the whole point of that page? And do we know how many public schools are accessing this and at what age are they doing it?
They are doing it. If you go onto the website and look at the documentary stuff, it's used by an awful lot of school teachers across the country. It's really garnered for quite young kids. I would have to say, kind of later elementary through middle school seems to be the target age because just by the language that's being used in the types of videos that they put on there,
they really just strike me as though they're just propaganda pieces. Again, this is the type of thing that the left is using. This kind of a gateway drug to get them people's minds thinking in a certain way that calls for more collective government regulation over our economy and over our lives. So you know how many teachers are using them? I haven't seen actual numbers on that, but it's pretty big.
Yeah.
And anyone that has a teacher in their life, whether it's a spouse or you're a teacher, you're always looking for material to kind of fill, if you will, to pad your standard curriculum. And this is a very useful site. And a lot of public schools are using online programming to fill time. And this is the type of stuff that's low hanging fruit that's available, sadly for our kids to consume. Sixteen passed the hour more with Craig Record. Next, what kind of guests do we bring you on the
Morning Show with Preston Scott. You might have heard the term if you're a sports fan, that a guy on tape. He's a player, He's just a player. We bring gamers. We bring people that come on even though they're they're they're playing injured. And that's Craig Record this morning. A little under the weather, but he's he's gaming through it and Craig, thank you so much for making time for us this morning.
Here.
We were just talking about climate kids and the efforts of the government to involve itself in this absurdity called climate change, which I think you correctly identified in the movie as a climate hustle. But let's talk about the stakes here. Regardless of who wins or loses come November, Harris win means one thing. A Biden win or a Trump win means another. But regardless of that, there's an event coming up that's going to be pretty important.
You're exactly right, and matter of fact, there's a schedule for the early part mid mid November, right around the election time, just after. It is a major climate conference of the parties. It's number twenty nine. It comes out of the Global Climate Agreement that was signed back in the nineties. The US never jumped on board Kyoto, but did get into Paris. Trump got us out and now
Biden got us back in. Because give me a major conference held an oser Beijan, of all places, we'll be going to that as we have many of the other ones. If Trump should win, it'll be one of these opportunities. And I think those on the political level, you use to try to figure out how to undermine any initiatives that he does to try to stop some of the
more climate crazy things that are going on. If, of course, Kamala wins, it'll be also an important conference because Kamala has already agreed to as as Biden, to try to get the United States to be what they call net zero emissions. That means trying to cut out our coal plants, our fossil fuel plants, stop racking, get everybody into electric
vehicles by twenty fifty. There's been pressure put on to try to up that date to maybe twenty forty twenty thirty five, and I think they'll be very sensitive to that. Having cleared the hurdle of having won the election, they'll be private and ready to do that.
Craig, I talk with a lot of people on the program, most of them well aware of the what I call gorbel warming. I think it's I think it's mass hysteria over the Earth being the Earth. But I'm curious, do you think that the average person, not just in this country but around the world, do you think they understand the difference between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, Because I think when people see co two. They don't really understand that it's a building block for life on this planet.
It's carbon monoxide that we have warning detectors for.
Exactly. But I think what they're trying to do with carbon dioxide is because so many of our you can control and regulate pretty much every aspect of human society if you try and control even people themselves, because we exhale carbon dioxide, right, And as a result of that, this is like the perfect vehicle for those who are in favor of big government and trying to regulate everything to try and get you say that there's some reason
that they have to do to regulate it. And so they come up with climate change and they make outrageous statement c polar bears are die. Well, Actually, if you show them the facts, polar bears are doing better now than they ever have. There was only about three thousand back in the sixties, or almost up to thirty thousand today. They'll say things like, you know there's an increasing sea level rise, Well, sea level has been rising for centuries. Is it more rapidly rising now than it was saved
in the seventeen hundreds. The answer is no. In fact, they think that this even comes from the UN it's rising less rapidly now than it was ever in the past. Storms. You know, we're not seeing increased stormin US. You've got the major storms or major heat waves. You know, this was a hot summer. But we have one of our researchers, his name is Chris Marx, and meteorologists a student go and look for the record highs in every single state and there's very few that are from twenty ten onward,
or even from two thousand onward. The vast majority of very hot days and heat waves or back in the nineteen thirties during the dust Bowl. There are pre nineteen fifty and that is actually important because that's before lineate change could have been the main culprit, so an issue after issue, hurricanes, tornadoes. There's really no trend on this stuff. But people don't ask questions. And I will give it
to those on the political left. They're very clever and how they couch these things because what they're saying often is technically true, but it's warped.
Craig is always thanks for the time.
I appreciate you coming back on the show and feel better, my good sir.
I will do my best. Thank you for having me on.
Thank you Craig Rucker again, President, co founder of c FAC Committee for a Constructed Tomorrow. Yeah, did you know that a lot of the temper temperature gathering data centers are located in downtowns and on top of buildings next to air conditioning units, Just saying that's a fact. It's a little warmer on top of a building in downtown next to a running air conditioning unit, just say twenty.
Seven past the hour. See, I'm such a contrariant.
I would be advising Trump to do something he would never agree to do, and it would immediately get me fired from his inner circle if if I were given the opportunity to advise him. But I would be saying, mister President, you need to go out and say that you did not win the debate. I would use the terminology no one won the debate. I lost it. I lost it because I was fighting three against one. I
lost it because I got distracted. And then I would pivot to people know the truth about Kamala Harris, and if they don't, all they need to do is do a modest amount of digging, even the mainstream media, who you all know, I have very little faith in even the mainstream media is pointing out the inconsistencies, the falsehoods,
the flip flopping on policy. What are you going to judge her on two months of talking or twenty plus years of governing as a lawmaker and as a member of the Biden administration, where.
She admits she was one of the.
Last people in the room or was in fact the last person in the room for major policy decisions. What are you going to judge her on her actions or lack thereof or what she says? See, that's how I would handle this. I do not believe Trump won that debate. He believes he did, but you would expect him to say nothing but that right. The ABC moderators allowed her to get away with lying, just flat lying, but boy, they were ready to fact check. And I cannot help
but note that there wasn't a word salad moment. Yet every single time she's in a truly unprepared press conference setting, doesn't know what's going to be asked.
It's word salad. It's a salad buffet.
She clearly was given the questions in advance, she knew the topics that were coming, and to her credit, I mean, she said nothing of substance. But that's what you would say, I'm the only one on the platform that has a plan for lifting the middle class. Well, let me help you with that, friends. Her plan for helping the middle class is to invoke socialist and Marxist policies and regulatory oversight. And what that does is it creates a caste system.
What is a caste system. It is a system that is cast in stone.
It is.
And that's my definition because if you look at a cast system, what you're born in, you stay in. You don't have room for upward mobility. In socialist Marxist environments, there is no room. The top keep whatever they already have and enrich themselves at the expense of the middle class. Her lifting up of the middle class is to take from the disfavored and redistribute it. And she'll do that
by invoking taxes on businesses. And again, this is all such low hanging fruit to me, because businesses don't pay taxes. The evil corporation she tries to mock and penalize along with Joe and Democrats and the liberals. They don't pay taxes.
You do, I do?
We collectively pay their taxes in the form of them burying it in their prices, so they're going to continue to tax us through business. It just leads to more inflation. Her plans should have been shredded. Trump spent way too much time looking over his shoulder instead of speaking into the future and using his successes with the headwinds that he had to explain, I have a record of doing what I said I would do. I came into the
White House with no political background. Look what we got done, and start boom boom boom boom boom listing the achievements, and then say this, with the right Congress, we'll not only do it again, we'll do it better, and we'll make sure it can't be screwed up in the future generations. We'll fix this mess. Forty one minutes after the hour, check your coins. I'll tell you why next. Last week I talked about dollar bills with unique serial numbers, like
birth dates. They've got eight numbers, and so if you got a a month, a date, and a year that's of significance, you can sell it on eBay and make money off it. It's worth more than a buck. People will buy it if it's connected to their birthday or a significant event.
In history.
I'm just saying they'll do it. Did you look at any of your dollar bills? I don't even know if you have any dollar bills. I don't have any dollar bills, but I mean just curious.
Nope. But you know, I actually have been doing that for the longest time.
What staring at serial numbers, we up cereal numbers, the years of the coin.
You know, the wheat pennies a popular one. Sure, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna ramp it all up for you. Here.
Sisters from Ohio inherited a dime that was kept in a bank vault for more than forty years. How'd she inherit it? Well, they inherited this particular dime after the death of their brother. Now they're remaining anonymous for reasons. I'll explain.
You.
See, their brother and their mother bought this dime in nineteen seventy eight for eighteen thousand, two hundred dollars. Their parents, who operated a dairy farm, went in with their brother to buy it because they saw the coin as a potential investment. So they bought a dime for eighteen thousand, two hundred bucks, which in today's money's ninety thousand dollars. Here's what they have. It was struck by the US Mint in San Francisco. It depicts FDR, but it's missing
an S mint mark for San Francisco. It's one of just two without the S on it to have ever been made.
It was a mistake.
The other one sold at auction in twenty nineteen for four hundred and fifty six thousand dollars. This one is expected to go for more than half a million. They circulated more than two point eight million special uncirculated proof sets that featured six coins. They were sold for seven bucks. Collectors later discovered that two dimes from the set were missing the mint mark. They had no idea where the
coins went. These sisters have one of them. The other one is in the hands of a private collector.
Snap.
You can look up the auction. It will be displayed at a coin show beginning perhaps it's today in Tampa. Before the auction closes in late October. You can look it up online. It's the FDR dime that's expected to go for half a.
Mill or more. Can you imagine the things we uncover on this show?
Forty six minutes after the hour, come back tell you about a special concert you can go to that.
Is, trust me, pretty cool concert coming up.
If you have not heard, our buddies over at First Commerce Credit Union sponsoring an event at the Tucker Center Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra. Yes, those of you in Panama City, it's worth the drive. Come over, Come on, come on. They're gonna do Saturday, September twenty eighth Sunday twenty ninth. I believe there are two concerts each day, I think,
but here it is. It's not just any concert. You're going to watch the original episode four Star Wars a New Hope with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra playing the musical score live. Oh come on, that would be sweet to be in the room for that one. So yeah, it's the twenty eighth and the twenty ninth and in the Tuckers Center. And you can get tickets at Tallahassee Symphony dot Org. All right, Tallahassee Symphony dot Org.
All right.
Right now, in New York City, they are doing what they do each and every year, reading the names of those who died that day in the World Trade Center.
Danny A. Correa Gutierrez, James J. Corrigo, Carlos Cortex.
Kevin Costpro, Dolores, Marie Costa, Digna, Alexandra Costonso Michael S. Costello, and the list goes on and on of those who lost their lives that day and subsequent to it. And so I just want to end the programs sort of the way we started it, with a moment of silence, remembering the victims of nine to eleven.
Thank you. Brought to you by Barone Heating and Air. It's the Morning.
Show one on WFLA. Our devotion today came from Romans five. We went through verses one, two and three. Tomorrow we will add verse four. Kind of a a progressive, a perpetual, sort of a stare stepped devotional. This week, big story in the press box, the debate. We took calls in the second hour, let people weigh in on what they thought. It's not going to change many people's opinions that I don't think it changes anyone's opinions who had their mind
made up to the independence. You heard what I think Trump bought to say in response to yesterday, But that's not what he's going to say. Not what he is saying. Also covered a few other things. Talked about the fact that we are now learning that the Saudi Arabian government may in fact have been involved in the planning the planning of the nine to eleven attacks. Are good friends in Saudi Arabia? What do you think think we ought to be maybe back producing our own oil, just saying
think we ought to be thinking that. Learned that Andrew Cuomo personally edited a New York State report hiding the nursing.
Home COVID deaths. It's not a good look. We got more tomorrow on the program.
Steve Stewart of Tellassy reports from Johns Hopkins University speaking of COVID. Doctor Marty McCarey was one of the few voices that managed to keep his job that was speaking out against some of the conventional wisdom on COVID. But he'll be on the program tomorrow talking about the devastating impacts that cell phones are having on kids and we got to get them out of our schools. Also talk to doctor David Harts tomorrow our Optimum Health segment and
on the road again a road trip idea. So between now and then, expect a little rain later on today, No matter where you are in the listening area.
The folks have a great day. Thanks for listening.
