Morning Friends, a little pick me up. Huh. That's like the old Aqua velve slap in the face. Some of you remember those commercials. Welcome to the Friday edition of The Morning Show with Preston Scott, September the thirteenth. It is not an unlucky day for you, friends, because Ruminators, you are here with us, and together we will face whatever comes today. With God in front and behind and
on either side. We're good. I hope you had a nice night of rest if you are just waking up, if you're out there at it already, good for you. It's wet and rainy, and I'm I'm like ready for that to stop for a few days. It's just so damp. Anyway, we need the rainfall, so it's all right. Romans five is where we've been this week. We started Monday. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Tuesday. Through him, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God Wednesday. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance Thursday, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. And now Friday and hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the
Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. See what we did here this morning. If you caught the beginning song by a group called We Are Messengers, They're an Irish band and I just love the purity of their heart. Man, these guys are just so good and the song was love. That's the message. He's put love in your heart. And that's how we start the show. Little kiss on the forehead, a little smooch on the cheek, a little pat on the head, a little push on the tush. Come on,
come on, come on, have a great day. Ten past the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Have a new post up on my Twitter page, Twitter x twix at TMS Preston Scott, James O'Keefe O'Keeffe Media Group, OMG back doing
what he does so well. He's got undercover people sitting down batting her eyes at a Google employee, a ranking Google employee who is bragging on camera about the coordinated effort between big Tech and Kamala Harris to get her elected. And after they have the video of the guy and he's going into great detail of how they're doing it, they set up another little meeting with him and up walks James O'Keefe with a microphone in his hands and he starts quoting him. Yeah, that's on my Twitter page
right now at TMS Preston Scott. Here's what's interesting. My comment is, of course, well done, James, But it tells you all you need to know that they would sit down and brag about this. They feel so good about what they're doing. They can't keep it to themselves. And it happens all the time. See this betrays this just being a cold calculated no. No, no, no, no, they're all in. They're excited about it. See professionals, they're indifferent. No, really, it's a job. It's what they want us to do,
so we're doing it personally. I don't care. I'm just doing what I'm told to do. No, no, no, no, they can't wait to tell other people anyway. Sorry, a little distracted there, but you can see it for yourself. And I've got some blogs up this week that you really got to look at.
And.
Dropping at eight thirty Eastern, seven thirty Central, just in time for the best and worst of the week. My best, my best of the week is dropping on my blog page. It is so epically good. It is so good. You'll understand why it's the best of the week, at least for me, because I'm an idiot and it's just I think it's awesome. I'll explain, and then you can go to the blog page and see it. You'll see it for yourself. All Right, we got September thirteenth, not an
unlucky day. I don't but I don't believe in that stuff. I spit on it. I spit on those things. Ain't no such thing. It's bad luck, nothing like it. It's just poo. I spit on it. Anyway, let's see here. Seventeen eighty eight Congress establishes New York City as the temporary National capital, authorized the first presidential election. Okay, they established New York City as a temporary national capital. Okay, remember what I said about the thirteenth Okay, other than
that that was bad. That was that was bad. That was a bad thing. Eighteen fourteen British fleet bombar It's Fort McHenry, as Francis Scott Key looks on, osay, can you see by the dawns early light? Whatso proudly we hailed? Right? And I know there's another verse we don't sing it, Get over it. Eighteen forty seven, during the Mexican War, US troops storm Chapel Teepek, Chapel Teppek. Come on, mister Mexican, you know about this? No? No, I don't know. Is your Cuban side dominating right now?
See?
Okay, it's the fortress guarding Mexico City. It's nineteen forty eight. We moved to Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine elected to the US Senate, becoming the first woman elected to both houses of Congress. Well, isn't that interesting? Look at that a Republican woman. You don't say, seems like the whole history of Republicans and slavery Republicans and suffrage Republicans and women is much more favorable than has been portrayed.
Huh how about that? Yeah? And on this date in two thousand and eight, Hurricane Ike makes landfall over Galveston. We watched, we didn't have to deal with it, but we watched that was quite the storm. And I was on the air seventeen past the hour, come back with Tom not so terrific. Here on the Morning Show with Creston Scott twenty two, twenty three minutes past the hour. The experiment in week one old dramatically, and Tom Brady made his debut on Fox News with Kevin Burkhardt. Kevin's
Kevin's a fine announcer. He's he does his job very well. He and Greg Olsen a far better pairing than Tom Brady. And I have nothing against Tom, even though he played for Michigan and was Tom Brady and you know, you just want to sometimes.
But.
Great, arguably, maybe not arguably the best quarterback to play the game because his team's just won. He won super Bowls like crazy, and you got to give him his credit. But he is getting raked over the coals for his broadcasting. It's being described as like an AI reading a script, bizarre pauses. It was picked up online posts. I've heard enough of Tom Brady. Justice for Greg Olsen. Greg has had a little panache without being over the top. Knows
the game very well too. Brady knows everything right. It's just and I love it when quarterbacks are good. See, Unlike some, I don't think Tony Romo is very good as a broadcaster. I think he's lazy. I think he could be exceptional with some coaching. Another person wrote, I don't know how else to say it, but Tom Brady does not have a voice that is meant to be heard without seeing his face. You know, there's a strange truth in that. That's a really perceptive observation. And then
this is maybe my favorite. Tom Brady can't seem to form any sentences that have any sort of normal cadence to them. And then there's this maybe someone should have listened to Tom actually say words before dropping three hundred million dollars on him to be the analyst. And that's maybe the most egregious part of this entire thing. Now I can speak to this because, as many of you regular listeners know, my dad is a National Sports Hall of Fame broadcaster, and I mean he's in all of
the broadcasting Hall of Fames. He was I think one of the top two or three NFL television sportscasters. Ever. Pat Summerl would say, whatever you think of my ability, you can point to Ray Scott, because I learned everything I know from him. Pat was my dad's partner. Pat was my dad's successor when my dad left CBS. But here's the part that you don't know about Pat summer All and Frank Gifford and other announcers that were players before they became analysts and then would become play by
play voices. They would spend hours in a trailer looking at tape, practicing. They practiced, and so I say that because here's my proof of how good they were at what they did. An entire two generations of sports watchers know Pat summer All as a great broadcaster. They had no idea he was a really good football player too. His devotion to becoming a great broadcaster pushed aside that he's a former jock, a former athlete. Tom Brady sadly
got thrust into the lead chair. At the very least he should have been made to do regional games in New England, you know, do the Patriot games mostly for a few years, and then if you are good enough, then you get the big contract. But I look at three hundred million dollars headline from SB Nation, Tom Brady is terrible in the booth and Greg Olsen deserves justice, and then underneath it says, here's the one thing Tom Brady sucks at. He does. He's not very good, but
maybe he'll get better. Twenty seven past the hour, we're gonna come back unpack the big stories in the press box here on Friday in the Morning Show to help you out. Next hour, re engage with family and friends, coworkers. The last few years have been tough on communication, and so we're going to help Lead research assistant of the Morning Show said this is good for all of mankind. I thought to myself, Lra, you are correct, and so we will share that next hour, third hour, we have
your phone calls. What's the beef? Chance to then just a little bit, but we at the bottom of the hour, at least first two hours on Friday, third hour, we just kind of do some other things. We share the big stories in the press box. Justice Department drops nearly half of the pending obstruction charges in January sixth cases dropped the charge in sixty of the one hundred and
twenty six defendants still pending. Now, of course, this entire thing is an embarrassment to the to the country, The prosecution probably could have been limited to ten or fewer cases, give or take, and some of those should have been members of law enforcement. You know, there's there's an argument to be made that, along with the things that Justin Haskins listed as the important three reasons why you need to carefully consider Trump versus Harris and Harris vote being
detrimental to the welfare of this country. Ergo U. Pretty high up on that list for me is January sixth, because most of these people should be pardoned, not blanket, but most of them. The Department of Justice is making point of saying there are zero cases where a defendant was charged only for violating the obstruction charge. In other words, even if the government foregoes this charge, every charge defendant
will continue to face exposure to other criminal charges. Well, the problem is that there are seventeen defendants that were solely convicted of obstruction and not other charges. Just say it. Still looking for the shooter I seventy five Kentucky. They're going to find him dead. That's my bet right now, because that's what he said he's going to do. He's going to show that the text message has been clarified.
He said, I'm going to kill a lot of people, will at least try That was the text message, and then he said I'll kill myself afterward. So finding him because he's not moving, it's just a matter of time. This is pretty alarming. The head of the Council on American Islamic Relations outlined a plan to help elect forty to fifty members to Congress. These are Islamis that would
subscribe to their view of things. And I hate to be the one to say this out loud, but given that the Council on American Islamic Relations, the head of the organization praised the October seventh attacks in Israel that were terrorist attacks, murders, rapes. First, they should be kicked out of the country. Secondly, no, and I'm sorry, but that would be a thing that I would vote against.
Are you Islamic? Yeah, Noorry Sorry, I've read enough of the Qur'an now, no, the writings of Mohammed huh, not going to go there, not in it. Witdn't be prudent. So yeah, I mean, they're they're openly talking about this plan and friends, No, can't can't allow that to happen. They can run I guess you know, but see, I'm of the opinion you shouldn't be allowed to run for office if you are an about socialist, Marxist, communist, or if you're an atheist, say, I just don't you know?
What?
Are you going to swear an oath to defend what? Based on what I mean?
Why?
Anyway, there's more. We'll get to that next forty minutes past the hour, the big stories are are expanding into the next segment.
Welcome to the Morning Show with Resident Scott.
This is kind of funny. There's an audio company called ice Box Sound based in Munich, Germany, and Just The News reached out to them because there are those on social media that believe Vice President Kamala Harris wore audio earrings on stage.
And.
They gave an official comment. We do not know whether miss Harris wore one of our products. The resemblance is striking, and while our product was not specifically developed for the use at presidential debates, it is nonetheless suited for it. Others have said that media outlets and social media it said no, no, these are Tiffany and Company earrings, and they might be. I just think that she absolutely had the questions in advance because she's not capable of of
formulating a thought. That's why have you noticed she's doing She's going to do interviews with local media. Why because local media are by and large spineless because they want to curry favor, they want to be liked, and so there's nobody in a local ABC, NBC, CBS affiliate in a city across the country that's going especially in medium and small markets, no way. Why because if they throw a hard question at her, they'll never get a job at another market again, because the media is dominated by
the left. So this is a pretty smart strategy. Not do interviews with anybody big and noteworthy that will be aired nationwide, but do these small little things and count on the fact that your panache as being the vice president and the presidential nominee without a single primary vote. I might add talk about an orchestration. Sweet God. Anyway, there's more coming on this Monday. On the show, even Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal is slamming the Secret Service and
the FBI regarding the attempted assassination of Trump. He's crushing them. But have you noticed there's no information coming out. We don't know anymore about the offshore accounts. We don't know any more about the motivation for this, but get this this from our friend, US Congressman Michael Waltz. We are still trying to get on this show again. He built three IEDs with remote detonators improvised explosive devices IED. He had three of them built. How Waltz is asking, who's
coaching this guy? Where did this level of anarchist behavior come from? And then he asked this, do you think they'd be slow rolling so much if it was Kamala that had been attacked? It's been two months as of today, it's been two months. It would have been front page news every single day since had they not been rolling out information, had it been a Democrat running for office. Forty six minutes past, what happened to the idea of
banning TikTok? We'll get to that next. I have fifty one minutes past the hour over Aaron Studio one a Jose looking like a Sith lord or perhaps one of those little guys that that are junk collectors, you know, you know the ones I'm talking about, and they're they're they've got that big massive thing and they're they collect stuff. And that's how the.
Two D two.
Yeah, I'm exactly.
What you're talking about, but I just cannot remember their name.
They're not ewoks. Those are the those are the little guys. And the one dude that looks like Kenny Rogers is the singer.
M M.
They're not sand people. Sand people are really weird looking. It's worth the google. I'm gonna google it now. I want to think about it. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta come up with it anyway. Uh, that's what he looks like today. He's got the dark hood, he's got his headphones over it. He's just you're a train wreck sometimes where you come in here. This makes it just keeps things interesting. Whatever happened to banning banning TikTok? It is,
isn't it interesting? And I have a theory and my theory will be useful to every single one of you that owns a business if you follow the numbers. The March of twenty twenty three, half the country supported banning TikTok. In the fall of twenty twenty three, that that was thirty eight percent. Now it stands at thirty two percent. The number of Americans that opposed the ban is now twenty eight percent. So there's a group that's indifferent. Have
you noticed their ad campaign they did. They have gone with a very clever public relations campaign. They've got a doctor whose son died in I think a drunk driving accident, and he is using his son's tragedy to, you know, speak to other young people about the dangers of and it might and it might be texting and driving for a line. I don't know. But they have rolled these these things out and and it shows you the power
of marketing to reshape thinking. Now, I personally think as long as you know, honestly, Biden's position on this is actually kind of interesting to me because Biden supported a ban on TikTok so long as it was owned by what ByteDance, which is it's basically a Chinese app and they're funneling data. And here's what the Chinese are using this app, and the people that are on top of this company are hugely involved in the Chinese Communist Party.
They follow what you are following on TikTok. They make notes on what you are watching, what you're subscribing to, the channels, the patterns, because it's giving them insight into the psychological makeup of this country predominantly the younger generation, and they can get this psychological profile of what young people are thinking and what moves the needle with them, and you have to keep in the back of your
mind at all times. China wants and it believes it is destined to control the world in that regard, very much like Islamus, and China will want to do it without firing a show. They want this country to collapse from within and then just they're playing the long game. So just something to keep in mind and pay attention to. I would get it off my kid's phone in a minute, but this goes back to getting phones out of kid's hands, which is what we talked about yesterday with doctor Marty Mcarey.
All Right, we're gonna help you re engage in conversation. Next there is weather about and so friends, take your time, get in the car a little early. Tell your kids, drive slow, be safe, be cautious. Better to be a couple minutes late. Although there's no excuse to be late for glass, I'm just saying, but it's better to be a little bit late than to end up being a lot late because you got in a wreck, because you got silly. So there's just weird weather warnings all over.
We're being interrupted at times on the show, I'm told, and so just heed the warnings. We're going to get rain today, We're going to get rain tomorrow. Enjoy the FSU football game. I hope we don't have lightning because that will that will. I think it's forty five minutes for every lightning strike that's in the area. So there's a lightning strike and the game's delayed, I think forty
five minutes. Let's say twenty minutes goes by, there's another lightning strike, it's delayed another forty five minutes, So it's they add forty five minutes I think, give or take to each and every lightning strike. You know. One of the things that's happened since political discourse has gotten where it's gotten, and I will simply tell you this is one sided. I'm sure there are some conservatives out there that will have nothing to do with illiberals and not
talk to them, not at all. Family members move on. But most conservatives they love interacting with and talking to family members and friends that are illiberals because there's always hope. Most conservatives, not all, but most conservatives. Their convictions are rooted in their faith, and so in faith always leaves the door open. There's always a crack, and you're always hoping that at some point it's the light bulbs will go off, and it's happening. The blegsit the walk away.
All these different movements and campaigns are evidence that it is happening. Light bulbs are going off. We had Owen Gerard sitting in the chair to my left in Studio one B and he talked about his transformation and how it happened during COVID. But what's happened is people have lost the ability to talk. COVID has brought some of that about. Smartphones have brought a lot of it about
because we have now two generations. Roughly, we're at the early stages of a second generation of people that have their faces buried in their phones and so to eye contact makes them nervous. They don't handle it well and I mean like they don't handle it well at all, and so we've lost How ironic is it that in the era of social media, we are the most unsociable
of populace's this country has ever seen. And so the lra of the Morning Show with Preston Scott, the lead research assistant, sent this to me stop struggling with small talk by using the simple Ford method. The Ford method. Now, my first thought when I saw the headline like Ford
Motor Company, Like did they did? Did Ford? Because you know, Ford Motor Company actually adopted a lot of the Japanese principles of automobile making, which is why the fit and finish of Fords tends to be above any other domestic carmaker. They've they've they've adopted some of that. Now I'm thinking to myself, well, did did Ford come up with?
Not?
Certainly through the Japanese culture, because in the Japanese culture a lot of the Asian cultures, looking one in the eye is almost the opposite. It's a sign of disrespect. And that's why you frequently don't see that type of interaction with the Japanese and the Korean cultures, although that's changing some. But in this day and age, people struggle
with small talk. They struggle with small talk in work events, family gatherings, for certain school and so when we come back, we're going to tackle the topic head on and I'm going to explain the Ford method, and honestly, for many of you, this will help. It's a wonderful acronym, and we'll explain it next ten minutes after the hour. We're just here to help. Morning Show with Presty.
Scott The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one point seven w FLA.
I met with a friend earlier this week and we were kind of brainstorming different things, and he was a little surprised to know that I'm somewhat of a hermit. Somewhat I if I'm in a social gathering, if I'm you know, at a public speaking event, or you know, I I can make conversation because I'm very inquisitive by nature, and I'm an interviewer, and I'm pretty good at listening to the answers that people give and then deriving my
next question from that. So I'm I'm taking the cues, and so this isn't so much an issue for me, but I recognize that for a lot of people, they just get frustrated in small groups set or in party events or where they don't necessarily know a lot of people.
Others are just shy and they're afraid they're going to say the wrong thing, they're gonna ask the wrong question, and they're worried what other people will think of them, And so to a certain extent, you have to push past all of that to be a conversationalist of any kind. The Ford method is based on the acronym F O R D, and these are your cues on topics f family. Everybody has a family, I mean, everybody married, single, everybody
has a family. Oh, occupation. Even the person that says, well, I'm unemployed, I'm looking for work, Well, there's an open door. What kinds of things interest you? What's your background? What have you done? Okay? And and you you kind of you go there are recreation just about everybody does something. You know, I would I would maybe say something like, what do you do to kill time? You got any hobbies? What do you enjoy when you're just get a little downtime?
And and they'll say something and I might or might not based on the answer, go yeah, I would have guessed that that that you kind of fit that that that mode of being, you know, an outdoorsman or or someone that really likes tinkering with things, or because of the way their mind works. I mean, you can pick up all kinds of cues and then lastly, d f R D dreams. So if you're in a situation and you're that person that struggles and you end up at a gathering just standing off by yourself, no clue how
to engage in small talk, use the Ford method. Now, inside this article, which was really interesting to me, and it's from a website called Upworthy. The website itself was really frustrating, so I wouldn't recommend it, but this particular article was really good. There was something that was very fascinating to me. If you're not sure what to say in terms of how much talking to do, don't just be the interviewer. Give up a little bit of intel
on yourself as you're talking about families. Share about yours occupation, share about yours recreation, share about yours dreams, share about yours whatever those things might be. It's this. This is a write down, especially if you're in sales, because inside the article it says, if you're not sure how much to say during a conversation, follow the forty three to
fifty seven rule. Members at gong dot io analyze twenty five thousand sales calls and found out that the perfect speaking to listening ratio was forty three to fifty seven when a salesperson talked forty three percent of the time and listened fifty seven percent of the time sales sword Those are analytics done by AI of human interactions in sales. In't that interesting forty three fifty seven. So the old adage of talking less listening more certainly pays off in sales.
I would add to that, if you're in sales, this axiom, if you borrow this, if you make this something that you adhere to, you will make money. Ready, this is for me. I ghost wrote a booklet for a sales rep years ago. He had these ideas and he said, I'd like you to compile them, and I compiled them, and he said, at any thoughts you wanted, and this was one of my thoughts. People love to buy, but
people hate being sold. Create an environment where people want to buy, and you do that by listening more than talking. Seventeen past the hour, You're welcome. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, looking at the National Weather Service here, potential heavy rainfall in the area today. There could be some gusty winds of forty to sixty miles per hour
and the possibility of a tornado does exist. As you're hearing from Terry Smith from the Weather Channel, you got marine warnings off the coast of Carabell and St. Teresa, the entire area. There's some significant weather out there, so just be safe. And we're here. Even when we're interrupted by the notification and the automated announcements, we're here in the background, just totally unaware that we're being interrupted because see on the stream, you're not going to get the
interruption that public notice is. See, I'm a big fan of the radio. Streaming is awesome. It connects you when you're away from the broadcast signal, when your radio is unable to pick it up because of distance or whatever the case might be. Streaming is awesome, but radio first choice because it keeps you aware of anything that's going on, and then we're here to keep you aware of everything else. It's what we do. It's an audio magazine. Turn the page,
Turn the page, turn the page. Mass mutual mass mutual insurance insurance companies survey all the time because their actuarial tables are based on look. Insurance is a legalized form of gambling, you know. It's why I've always struggled with making insurance companies take on somebody that's unhealthy. You've got to cover them. Why they've not taken care of themselves. They're a train wreck. I'm going to lose my shirt.
The people that don't do I mean, how do you make someone do what the doctor ask them to do or follow the wisdom and guidance on health. I mean, look, I I just know that that's no longer insurance. You can call it something else, but that's insurance is about risk management. So mass Mutual does this survey and they found out that twenty three percent of millennials and gen z are not planning to become parents because of finances.
Those who said they're not planning to have kids, out of that twenty three percent, thirty one percent of them said it was due to political and social world their children would grow up in not going to be part of it. Finances was the thing. But then there's a subset, subcategory underneath that. Birth rates in the United States have dropped nearly twenty three percent from twenty seven to twenty twenty two, and it dropped again between twenty twenty two
and twenty twenty three. That is bad news. China is in desperate trouble because they went with that one child thing, and the problem is that boys were not favored, so they got a bunch of girls and they don't have anybody that's able to work, and so they've gone away from the one child rule. But just from a you know, just a humanity perspective, America has fallen way behind in the birth rate. That's not good. Twenty seven minutes after the hour reset the big Stories in the press Box.
We come back next. Still to come, the twenty five lives of Kamala Big stories in the press Box. I'm gonna do them real quickly and then respond to a caller. Jose got Justice Department dropping nearly half of the pending obstruction charges. There are people that were only convicted of obstruction. They're going to have to be set free or turn
loose of their sentence, whatever it might be. It's an egregious thing that's happening to American citizens, and there are a few that should have been charged and maybe served a little bit of time a few months. But the fact of the matter is the people that really need to be investigated and charged are the people behind the co opting of the rally, the instigators of the violence and the man who shot and killed Ashley Babbitt I seventy five shooting suspect Us Marshalls say he could still
be found alive. I think he's dead. He said he was going to kill himself. Yeah, let's find him. Let's make sure he's dead and go from there. Muslim American group that celebrated the Hamas attacks once forty to fifty members in Congress in the next ten years, the Council on American Islamic Relations, they should be booted out of the country. By the way, way they are a subversive, anti American hate group. And but I just wanted it on your radar that CARE what a what an acronym
wants to infiltrate Congress. And if you know anything about Islam and the core beliefs, it is not to mean that it's not to be taken that I mean all Islamists are bad and evil. Anyone who is a hardcore Sharia law Islamist. Yeah no, sorry, any member of Care, anybody going with their way of viewing things that celebrates October seventh, the attacks by Hamas, No way, nope, nope,
nope again they should be out of the country. Now got a call in response to my commentary on insurance, and I pointed out that you cannot call it insurance if you're going to force a company to take on people with pre existing conditions that are due to them not taking care of themselves. Now, the question was raised in a phone call. What about people that were born with certain challenges and defects and so forth. Well, those people, obviously,
there needs to be protection for most, not all. Most are covered when they are born and as they age, whether it's under their insurance, of their parents or what have you, then they transition and maintain coverage because that coverage provides doctors care, and it provides treatments, medications, surgeries, whatever to help the condition as best as possible. We're not talking about that. I'm talking about the push by the federal government, first of all, to do away with
private insurance. There are things we can do to bring health care down, but what you don't do is you don't call it insurance and make a company cover somebody that is irresponsible and negligent in their own care, because you're forcing that company to lose money, and that is no longer insurance insurance is about okay, looking at someone's age, their weight, their height, their general health condition, and then
they make a determination based on those things. They make an educated, actuarial founded guess on what their likely health and needs will be, and they base rates on that. That's why people that smoke, for example, have higher rates, because they are more likely to have health related problems. So insurance at its core is about managing risk. You're betting by your premiums that if you need help, there's
going to be help for you. Whatever the thing is, and what they're doing is they're betting that they can they can manage the costs of taking care of you in combination with others that are that are covered. But to make an insurance company, I'm just saying, don't call it insurance because that's not insurance. Insurance is about managing risk. If you if you force it, a company take on somebody they're going to lose money on. There is no
managing of that risk. They're going to lose money and so they have to make up for it by raising the premiums of everybody else. But again, I'm not talking about preexisting conditions. I've made these comments for years, and so if you're a longtime listener, you should really kind of know I mean by that. But that's okay, it's all right. That's why I took the time to explain it here forty minutes by the hour. When we come back to twenty five at least give or take lies
of Kamala from the debate, question just came in. Trump turning down the the debate said he's not going to debate a third time. I guess he's calling the debate with Biden the first debate is he and Kamala have only debated once. Do I think it was a bad of course, it was a bad decision strategically. Right now
Kamala is thinking very highly of herself. And that's when you say, happy to on Fox Newsmax where you will not get the questions and where we will have an honest debate where the moderators aren't beating up on you or me. Now, Trump turning it down is a mistake. It is a strategic mistake. It allows Kamala to continue peddling her nonsense. Now I have here in front of me, prepared by the Federalist twenty five lies Kamala told in her debate. I'm not going to get to all twenty five,
but foundationally, she claims she was a middle class kid. Well, I guess you could call yourself that if you just forget the fact that her dad was a professor at Stanford and her mother a BioMed scientist at UC Berkeley. That's I guess her definition of middle class. See, that's the thing. Illiberals redefine things all the time. That's not middle class in nuts. Now, in fairness, she did live in California, So maybe in California too, high earning professors
making middle class. I don't know in any part of the country. Other part of the country, you're doing really well. Trump tax cuts. She claimed that the tax cuts of twenty seventeen benefited billionaires and corporations, not according to the IRS. Data from the IRS showed that the beneficiaries were working in middle income filers, not the top one percent. Just false. Trump sales tax claimed that it'll implement a sales tax. He's not pledged to do anything like it. Jesus making
it up. Although I would be the first one to be in favor of it. If we rolled away the end tax, if we went to a consumption tax, like we do here in Florida. Sign me up read about it FairTax dot Org. It's brilliant. It has its flaws, but it's infinitely better, more fair than what we're doing now. January sixth, worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War? What an income poop? My goodness, do you ever hear Pearl Harbor does nine to eleven ring a bell Project
twenty twenty five. Trump has repeatedly said he hates it. I don't know why. Project twenty twenty five is brilliant, but Trump's not embracing it. She claims he is. He's not. He's said just the opposite multiple times. Restoring Roe, that's what she wants to do. She claims that Trump wants to nationalize an abortion ban. No, the whole point of Roe v. Wade was to turn it to the states. Now, I think we ought to address the personhood issue that from a federal level we establish is this a person
or is this nothing? But that's just me. Pro life laws criminalized miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. Every single pro life policy on the books exclude, includes exceptions for abortion when deemed necessary to save the life of a mom. Every single one Trump's abortion stance. Harris said that he would sign a national abortion ban, hire a national abortion monitor
that would monitor your pregnancies. If you look at the GOP abortion platform, which Trump is signed on on because it's kind of his platform, it says that decision about ending life in the wombs should be left up to the states. No mention of anything like Kamala. Kamala's throwing these things out to scare people. There's no fact she said nine month abortions. Ninth month abortions don't exist. That's
just not true. In fact, when Trump cornered her and asked about seven eight, nine month abortion, the moderators cut him off and changed topics. Border bill. Claimed that the congressional border bill that was scuttled would have stem illegal immigration. The fact of the matter is the measure would have enshrined existing invasion into federal law. It was a terrible law.
It was bait. She made a statements about the Scotis immunity ruling, false statements on fracking, which she has come out against time and time and time and time and time and time again. There's video all over the planet saying she would ban fracking the moment she got the chance she's lying more to come. Forty eight past the hour. Getting you ready, aren't we? What's the b Friday coming up next hour in the Morning Show with President Scott.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Before we open up the phone lines, you're not open yet. A few more lives, Kamala told at the U during the debate earlier this week. The Minnesota Rioters Fund. She denied that she undertook efforts to bail out left wing rioters, but she in fact did. She went to Minneapolis. She she encouraged her social media followers to donate to a bail
fund dedicated to those arrested she was involved. She claimed that Trump incited January sixth rioting, quoting he told protesters to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard. That's the definition now of inciting an insurrection. She said some police officers died. No, they didn't. That's just false. Brian Sicknick died of natural causes. That's a wording to the death certificate. Natural causes. The fine people hoax. We talked about that yesterday,
bloodbath hoax. He talked about how if Biden got reelected, it would be a bloodbath he had it was not about violence, it was about the economy. That would be like saying, okay, if the varsity played the JV, it's going to be a blood bath. What they're going to pull out? Not know, they're just going to beat them badly. Trump's NATO comments claiming that he's just coosing up to Putin, telling Putin to do what he wants. No, he was
telling NATO nations to pay up. The Autocrats prefer Trump over no. Vladimir Putin threw his support behind her combat zones. That there's no Americans first time ever in any war zones. That's just not true, blaming Trump for Biden's withdrawal in Afghanistan gun confiscation. I mean, the list goes on and on. What do you want to talk about? It's what's the be Friday call now? Eight five zero two zero five w FLA. Remember when I said they are what they
accuse others of being Kamala about the Trumpster. He doesn't have any plans for how he's going to fix what is alien in this country. Excuse me who doesn't have plans? All right, friends, it's wants to be Friday eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The lines are packed, the callers are standing by. We will get to them in
mere moments. Two simple prohibitions. If you are new to the radio program and you have never ever heard such a segment, we do this for a half hour each and every Friday, most Fridays throughout the year, and we just let you get it off your chest, whatever it is. The two rules are these, No profanity, don't make it personal. If you have a bad experience with a business a person, leave the name out of it. If I feel like it's safe for you to proceed, I'll let you know,
but leave the name out of it. We don't want to hurt a business because sometimes businesses just have bad days. People just have a bad day. But we want you to feel the relief that comes from getting it off your chest, whatever it might be. So there you go. Here's the number eight five zero two zero five WFLA. The lines are busy right now, but anticipate at the end of a call and jump on in. Joel, thanks for being patient. What's the beef?
Good morning, Pressed, and Preston. My beef is ABC News? Obviously UH the most egregious UH interference and bias I've really ever heard and uh, the thing, the thing about Trump and and the next and the next debate. I think he's kind of he's you know, you never can't tell what Trump. I mean, he should be kind of playing his cards. I believe he thinks right now, if the election was done right now, he would win. So the person that needs the next debate is Camela and
he may be just marketing, you know. But behind the scenes, of course of the next big debate will be October first. That's going to be a barn burner, I hope, because those two guys should just go after each other, so it should be should be fantastic. So we'll see how the debate thing processes. But I believe, you know, Trump could still be you know, he can still be in the third one, but it will have to be on his terms.
I hope you're right, Joel. I hope you're all right. Thank you so much for calling in that frees up a line eight five zero two zero five to be fla good morning, Robert, thanks for calling the Morning Show with Preston Scott. What's the beef?
We the people are poorly represented, Congress is overpaid. They give themselves raises whenever they feel like it. They can't do anything but continuing resolutions versus the twelve budget items are required to do by the Constitution, and we need to vote on whether or not to allow illegal aliens the right to vote here in America on federal elections. Please tell me these people are in our corner.
Do you feel better getting that said a little bit?
I'm gonna go have a vodkatonic right now.
Thanks for calling it. It's good to Greg Yillo, Greg Euroup, what's the beef?
Like everyone else?
How disjointed discussion of January sixth was at the debate, Neither Trump nor Harris reminded ABC News that these were that these protesters were US citizens who had the right behabeas corpus and the sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. Trump could have brought up that the website sponsored j sixth Committee will illustrate the people who deserve the pardon because they've waited three and a half years to be
bought the trial. And finally, Pamala Harris flunked her American Ethics in Civics because she forgot that the.
Ellipse speech of Donald Trump had First Amendment protection since he sat in the White House and did not participate. Now, since this has been an irreversibly horrible week for Christian conservatives, and accepting the fact that I'm going to hear about how it's a doggy dog world emanating from Springfield, Ohio between now and February twenty twenty five, I'm gonna end my week with curbside carry out of.
A hot dog coomeal.
I'm out of here.
Thank you, Greg, good spiking of the football at the end of your beef this morning. Good job, Steve, You're next, then Ron, then Nathan. We have one line open, friends, dive in now. The water's fine. What's the beef? Friday? On Friday the thirteenth, It's not unlucky. We don't believe in that stinking stuff. No way, It's The Morning.
Show with Preston Scott WFLA.
Unbelievably, Nathan just dropped and that means we have two lines open. What's up with that? Come on people, rally eight five zero two zero five WFLA eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. Steve, thanks for hanging in there. What's the beef?
Good morning, Preston. I'd like the beef is against the anti guns. Blaming the gun is like, well, I guess we need to take Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth out of the Hall of Fame because it must have been the bat that did it, not the person behind it.
I like it, although I think their bats are in Cooperstown.
That's what I'm saying. So we just take their pictures out. Yeah, don't blame them.
Yeah, don't put their name on it. That's that's it's the bat. That's that's that's.
It got to be just the bat.
Yep, well done, Steve, Thank you very much. A nice note of sarcasm just sort of making its way through the melody of that beef. Eight five zero two zero five to BFLA. I cannot believe we've got one caller. We have three lines standing by. What is up with that? Ron? Good morning, welcome, good.
Morning, Halways, thank you, Preston. Just for a little note, I've seen the signs as there's a wreck on the eastbound side of ten up for about the one ninety eight mile marker, just in case anybody's traveling. I haven't heard it, but the polls, I just don't believe the polls pressed. I was just on vacation up in Ohio Bill Buckeyes and Bengals. But out of all the signs traveling through the country on the interstate, through the two lane out in the every place that I went, I've
probably seen approximately seventy five Trump signs. I've seen one Biden sign and somebody else a post up there that said they were looking for some so I guess they're hard to find. But it's like they're sett in this election up to be lost by Trump because they say, oh, it's so close, it's so close, it's only going to take two votes to win. I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.
Prus.
I think I think they're wrong.
I don't disagree with you. I don't. I'm not buying the polling either. But at the same time, Trump is making it easy for for Harris right now. He's making a lot of strategic errors and a lot of errors and execution in his strategy, whether it was at the debate or otherwise. But Ryan is always good to hear your voice. Thanks for calling in. Let's go to Mark. Hi, Mark, you're up. What's the beef?
Yeah, sir, I just want to set the record straight. We talked about this earlier about how they keep bashing Trump about he only looks out for millionaires and billionaires.
Ridiculous.
I just want to say that that.
Is a lie straight from the bit of Hill, which is where the Democratic Party is heading. I'm a small business owner and true story, real quick. Back towards the end of the Obama's presidency, I sort of making a little bit more money, and so I increased my taxes. But even increasing my taxes, at the end of the year, I just still pay an extra four thousand dollars, which that might not sound like a lot, but that was
a lot to me back then. So my fast guy, which happened to be Sean Wesley, he advised me to increase it even more when Trump got in office. I believe during the second year he put in the twenty percent tax break for small business owners, and I checked my taxes the same at the end of the year, instead of paying for a grand I got almost eight gram back. So yes, Trump looked out for the little guy.
Absolutely great story. Thanks for sharing that, Mark. Yeah, it's it's an absolute ridiculous lie that Trump's tax cuts did not help everybody, because they did well, ninety five percent of everybody. There's a handful of people who did pay more taxes, but not many in the middle class. They got an absolute boost. Businesses huge and businesses, as we've heard, gave raises. Sixteen passed the hour, Steve, Pete, Nathan, and one more caller standing by here on the Morning Show with thrust In.
Scott twenty one minutes after the hour.
Friday, A very fortunate day, not a day that is unlucky, the thirteenth of September. Because we're together, friends, we are together and to quote the Joker from the Batman movie. And here we go back to the phone line, Steve, how are you? What's the beef?
My beef is with the national media right now because of all these brides at Comma's tone. They're not calling her out on it, and it concerns me that people are now going to fall for it and that she's going to kind of win. My second thief is with Donald Trump, and she bakes he challenge to another debate. He just said, just like you said this morning, Okay, I'll do it. We're going to do it on Fox.
I'm completely in agreement with everything you just said. Steve, I hope, I hope the opportunity to vent just a little bit helps you out this weekend.
It does, it does.
That's why we're here, brother, Thank you very much, appreciate the phone call. Let's go to let's see here. Nathan is back. Nathan, I thought you left me, brother.
I did, I did, But I'm.
Going to go back to being disappointed.
So so yeah, I'm disappointed. Well as always with the with the media. Uh, there was we found out after the after the first debate that Biden received the the the questions, and I feel that Kama did the same because there's no way that she can make two sentences to do what she did. She did better than the most people thought. My uh second thing, just on a side note, is I believe most people know which.
Which way they're going to vote one way or the other. This the undecided, and I feel that possibly, uh, this past debate might have helped Trump in a way just because he wasn't so I got you type. I'm just thinking maybe maybe that would have, uh would have helped him in a way, but just another look at him, that's uh. The beef is uh, there's the media. I truly believe that she received those, uh those questions beforehand.
I completely agree, Nathan. Thanks very much for calling in. Appreciate your persistence and willingness to call back. All Right, we're in our final three phone callers, and so we go in order of longest wait. Let's go to Robbie. Robbie, you're up. What's the beef?
Hey, Preston, I'm gonna talk about the debate a little bit. I'm gonna agree with the other callers. I think it was a really terrible, uh moderation from ABC News. And I did see something come out yesterday about the whistleblower talking about hand big questions to Kamala. Uh so that's one of my beefs. It wasn't fair. It was three on one and uh, I don't think Trump should throw him to tell yet. I think that he should do another debate and uh, let's pick let's pick one on
our side. Let's make it fair and square. They can pick thirs, we'll pick ours. We'll go down the middle and the other having second beat second beaf biz. I turned on the TV Sunday night to watch Sunday Night football, and.
I get a message.
I guess Direct TV is in dispute with ABC and Disney, so I couldn't watch football Sunday nights.
So just what I did?
I don't have direct TV anymore. I canceled that, canceled at AT and T, and I'm never watching anything on Disney or ABC either, So YouTube TV's got my business. Now that's my beat.
Thank you, sir, appreciate the phone call. We go to Pete, who has been standing by. Hello, Bete, what's the beat?
Good morning. I have an account at a national brokerage house. Recently I called with a minor problem. No selection on the menu was appropriate, so I requested a representative. The robots stated, I do not understand. We went through this about three times, which, out of exasperation, I said to the robot, no, you don't understand, because you are a stupid robot. And then that happened again the second time,
and I was subjected to a woke lecture. The robot said, all iron employees are to be treated with respect at all times. Blah blah blah, that's modern life.
Oh my goodness, Pete, thanks very much for sharing that. I'm gonna if I have time, and if Jose reminds me, I'm going to share how I get around some of those. I have a trick. I do, I do. I'bsor embarrassed to say it, but I do. Elijah, Thanks for calling in. You're the final caller. What's the beef?
H right?
Thanks President for the time and the platform, my thief, I would need the following with of Christ or the modern day Christians are following more of a religion or political agenda compared to a spiritual agenda. So Christian means a little Christ or following with the Christ. But they're calling upon Zeus, the color upon Jesus, where as it says if you call upon the name, you'll be saved. There was no Jay at that period of time, So
we have to call upon the name of y'all. We have to call upon the name of the Most High to be saved. And we're a lot of times, most of us are being swept up in these different religious or political disputes instead of really seeking our Father, seeking the most High.
Are you suggesting that there is no Jesus.
I'm thinking that was the name Jesus didn't exist at the time of two thousand years ago. It would be Yoshua, which means in Hebrew Yah saves. So we have to seek the Father in order to get there. We're getting caught up in these religious constructs, which, according to history did not exist. I think the person the Messiah who was crucified existed, but that brother was a Hebrew brother who called upon the name of y'all.
Okay, well that's where you and I are going to disagree, Elijah, But I do thank you for calling in, my friend. Jesus is the way to God. You can't go just to God. Jesus is the mediator. He's the one, he was the son of God. He's part of the Trinity, part of the God ed. But I do thank you for calling in. I just have to. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna embarrass myself, but i'm gonna say it. It doesn't work for all automation, but it works for a lot of it. They don't want to give you a
live operator. They want to play that game. So here's what you do. When they ask you what you want, you go, uh, I'm sorry, I didn't get that. Can you state an ah what? Let me get an agent to help you. I'm telling you, you'll make yourself laugh. But it does work. Seventy percent of the time we come back the best and worst of the week. For some of you, that was just the best and the worst.
Of the week.
Right there, it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Thank you callers. All Right, we're running a little late here. I'm not sure why we're running late, but we are. So it's time for the best and worst of the week. Jose you're up.
So my best for the week is that I just learned there's two dogs that are staff members at a English church over there in England. And I think that's beautiful.
You know the dogs are staff members.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they're working for Christ. Oh yeah, in a very historical church.
What do they do.
Well?
They provide? Are they comfort dogs?
I believe so, I believe. So they're laying on a pause yep, okay, yep, they're prayer dogs, I believe.
Wow.
Yes. And then the worstifying in a way, go ahead, and the worst.
And the worst is I found a how to get taller hack on TikTok and after many, many hours of trying it out, it does not work. I am still short.
What does it involve? Can it be said on the air?
Uh?
Yeah, it involves some sort of stretching of some sort which doesn't work.
Okay, seeking that that kind of short is seeking the solution to shortness. Huh okay, all right, fair enough. My worst of the week Boise State among four schools, Colorado State, San Diego State, Fresno State, joining the PAC twelve, the Pacific Coast Conference, the PAC twelve Pacific Athletic Conference Pacific. The idea being that schools were along the coastline or thereabouts Boise, Colorado State. Of course Colorado is in there
at one point, Arizona, Arizona State. It's it just blows my mind that we are now at a place where the Atlantic Coast Conference has schools from the Pacific Coast oh in Texas. What's happened to athletic conferences? Just annoys the hound out of me. My best of the week is available to you right now on my blog page. It is a video that I've seen that I linked to. It's about a minute thirty seconds long of a dog
being pampered upon investigating this dog. This site is probably from China, I don't know, and has nine point seven million followers. This video I've watched probably a half dozen times in twenty four hours and it makes me laugh every single time. It is awesome, awesome, So I can't describe it and do it justice. So go to my blog page and you can see my best of the week at wflafm dot com slash Preston or WFLA Panama City dot com slash Preston.
Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Yeah, we've got new blogs up on the blog page, including my best of the Week is on there. I've just linked it onto our TwixT page, including a repost of James O'Keeffe letting a guy know from Google that he was caught bragging about coordinating efforts between the big tech companies and Kamala Harris to help get her elected. Just saying it's all there, it's all there, it's all all waiting for you. This is just a wonderful thing. Monday on the program, I've talked about Teen Challenge over
the years. Teen Challenge is I think, just a wonderful organization and they do a lot of really good things. There's an opportunity for you to make a difference and have a little fun at the same time. We'll talk about that Monday. We'll also talk with irishafelloworchan dot com. And the Noles get their first win of the season tomorrow against Memphis. We will find out so Monday, of course, the news that unfolds over the weekend, we'll cover it all Monday on the program. But first, hey, do you
have any good news for a change? So much? Just spell it's time for some good news. It's true, even at a little good news now and then wouldn't it be lovely if we had just a little bit of good news? This pretty cool story, all right? Twenty year old Abby Rutledge back in twenty twenty two was driving along a Birmingham, Alabama highway and the red and blue lights started flashing behind her. She got pulled over for speeding. When state trooper JT. Brown stopped her for speeding, she
just was brutally honest. She said, I can't afford to pay a speeding ticket. She said, I'm broke. I'm in a dead end job. And so the trooper said, well how about we talk about it then, And so they're on the side of the road. They engaged in about a ten or a fifteen minute conversation and they talked about different career paths and what that might look like. And eventually together they actually came up with the idea
that she had to think about becoming a nurse. He kind of listened to her describe herself, and he said, you know, this might be a good profession for you. He didn't issue her ticket. He gave her a warning and wrote, promise me, you'll go to scrub or nursing school and slow down, and I won't give you a ticket. She says now two years later, as soon as he left, and as soon as I got to where I was going, I started pushing myself toward that career, and now I'm here.
She began a surgical technology program at a nearby community college, or began in one, and when she graduated, the Trooper was invited and he attended. She said, I wanted him to see the impression he made on me. Five minutes. Talking to anybody, even if you don't know them, can make the largest impact of their life. You never know when it could happen. She's now a surgical technician at
the University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital. She said, I think it was the right person, the right time, and the right words said, reflecting the conversation at a traffic stop for Brown, the trooper said, she made my entire career worth it. How cool is that story? And here's what here's what this does. By the way, we're getting closer to our thank you cards. The order is going to get placed today. It just shows you the difference and the power that is created when we speak into people's lives,
encouragement and hope, and that is good news. Where did the week go? I don't know, it's gone.
It's like a.
Vapor, a mist gone. It's got a dad joke done here. Equip you for the weekend with a little funny and then we'll segue into our headlines courtesy of the babelon b But first and again, this is a list that came to me from Ryan. I'm just I'm just faithfully going through because it's good stuff. I used to hate
facial hair, but it grew on me. Time for some headlines, Ladies and gentlemen, this is trusted satire from the Battle and b Maybe we took a wrong turn somewhere, thinks party whose candidate just got endorsed by Dick Cheney and Vladimir Putin. Harris campaign admits Tim Walls was the only candidate that answered their Craigslist ad. Ohio Chi Chinese buffet forced to close after Haitians decimate food supplow. God announces he will now be voiced by James Earl Jones. Ohio
CAATs take to the streets to pest immigration. Charles Wesley King kicking himself for not realizing he could just repeat worship chorus twenty times and call it a day. Trump jumps thirty points in polls after telling Kamala Harris to be quiet. Taylor Swift, who made careers singing about her bad choices, endorses Kamala. In brief moment of lucidity, Biden endorses Trump. Media assures Americans that migrants haven't killed any cats,
just women and children. Mola Rahm says he's found no evidence to support Trump's claim of heart ripping ceremonies taking place within the Temple of Doom. Taylor Swift's cats endorse Trump.
Delilah regrets asking Samson where he gets his strength after he launches into five hour lecture on carnivore diet, and Kamala accused of using performance enhancing moderators.
Brought to you by Barono heating and Air. It's the morning show on WFLA.
Oh.
We started the radio program with Romans five and went through verses one through five. We also started with a tune from We Are Messengers called love It worked together. It's like a lot pays and carrots work together, like pays and carrots. Big stories in the press box, we talked about the January sixth prosecutions that after the Supreme Court ruling on obstruction of justice charges, they are dropping
those charges, but they're claiming that everybody has faced other charges. Well, but there's seventeen people that were convicted of only obstruction, so that means that sentence is wiped away. Right. See, never mind, I got to just stop right there. The Muslim American Hate Israel group CARE, the leader of it has stated a plan to get forty to fifty members of into Congress that are supporters of followers of CARE.
That would be very bad for this country. Company found that maybe Kamala used there amplified hearing kind of audio ear rings. Maybe she didn't. Tiffany is probably the home of the ear rings that Kamala war at the debate. But company in Munich, Munich, Munich, Germany, says, Yeah, those earrings look a lot like our technology, though, is saying I seventy five shoot suspect has not been found, still looking. One in four younger Americans not planning to have children
due to finances. And we helped you with communication. We taught you about the Ford Method. We covered a lot more as well. Good show today. Thanks is always for taking part during What's the Beef? My friends, have a great weekend, stay dry, stay safe, and go Knows
