Ep. 5243: The aftermath of Helene

great to be with you. Though this morning we are we will certainly be recapping a little bit, just a little bit, but we're going to be catching up as well, and I will have some things to share about that storm.

the National Hurricane Center, the National Weather Service? And yeah, anyway, we'll get to that. Let's start with our verse today Philippians one nine through ten. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more with knowledge and discernment. Notice that that love may abound with knowledge and with discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ. Knowledge, wisdom,

and discernment, so we can approve what is excellent. Honestly, that's kind of part of our mission statement around here, to use wisdom and discernment and to approve what is excellent. That's where we'll start. That'll work ten past the hour inside the American Patriots Almanac. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott, Kamala Harris praising her border record you kissed the people you love with that line of math

of years. Oh my gosh. All right, I gotta stay focused. Hey, we just got a phone call and this is one of those I don't know how we can backtrack it because we got a call saying someone's not hearing us. Now, obviously we're on the air here. I know that I can check that. What I can't check is Panama City.

If we're broadcasting to you on Panama City Radio. If you've got us, do me a FA Just shoot me a quick email, presson at iHeartRadio dot com, or give Jose a quick call eight five zero two zero five wfl A eight five zero two zero five w FLA. If he doesn't pick up, you'll know we have the answer. But we're trying to ascertain if we are back on in Panama City. I know we're on here and so if they and there should never be a streaming issue,

they're just they just shouldn't. That's just like, yeah, it's not broadcast on a transmitter. So anyway, we did sever the connection to Panama City in anticipation of the storm coverage that we needed to provide here, and so yeah, we were very fortunate here where we broadcast from. Just

that's the best I can put it. We were very fortunate that storm ended up going exactly where the Windy app said it was going to go all along, That's exactly where it ended up, and the Windy app recorded the jogs a little bit west, but it ended up right back where they thought it was going to be at the very beginning of the storm's development. So you know, there, I don't know what to tell you it could be wrong too. Those those kinds of prediction models can be

wrong just as easily as they can be right. We've just found in our history here that the European models tend to be more accurate. That's why we lean on them. But again, you know, if storm hits, it hits right, it's you know, it's just it's going to go where it's going to go. Unless you believe we're manipulating the weather, now seriously are There are a lot of people that believe that, and so we'll but we'll we'll get to not so much the manipulation of the weather. But yeah,

I just yeah, I gotta stop. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, it is the thirtieth final day of the month of September tomorrow October, which means we're counting down the days where the weather's going to turn cooler and we have less and less a chance of facing one of these silly storms, disruptive, life changing, life altering because even if the winds are a little sketchy, and in what was reported and what was actual, the rain wasn't. Man what's

going on is significant. Might try to talk to David Allen later this week, a former producer of the Morning Show. A lot of you know remember and love David. David's fine, He and his wife are fine. I just wanted to make sure you knew checked on him, heard back. They just got cell service back. I think yesterday. He's in the Ashville area. And if you've otis Dashville just got waylaid by this. Tennessee got waylaid by this. Atlanta eleven

inches in some ridiculous short span of time. Yeah, a lot of rain, and of course the flooding along Florida's western coast significant. But let's see September thirtieth, seventeen seventy seven, forced to fleet to Philadelphia. Continental Congress meets in York, Pennsylvania. I wonder if if they have that spot wherever they met preserved, that would be cool. Eighteen sixty eight, Louisa

May Alcott publishes Little Women. Eighteen eighty two. The world's first hydro electric power plant to furnish incandescent lighting begins operation in Appleton, Wisconsin. Huh go figure eighteen eighty nine. West West Wyoming legislators right the first state constitution granting women's suffrage eighteen eighty nine. Nineteen thirty nine, FDR then President dedicates Hoover Dam on the Colorado River to be

the location where we would hide decepticons. Don't know if you knew that, but that's that's what the whole purpose of Hoover Dam was to hide a Decepticon that had been found. And yeah, and that's where we brought Bumblebee. I don't know if you knew that either. Nineteen forty nine, the fifteen month long Berlin Airlift comes to an end. So there you go, seventeen past the hour run and light. What a shock back with more ladies and gentlemen because

of the storm we missed so much. And so though several days late these were headlines from the Babylon b you're my our trusted source for satire. We can't afford another four years of this, shouts running made of candidate who has been leading the country for four years. Ohio restaurant unveils new pumpkin spice cat.

supports the hurricane or not. Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, just a few. I felt the need to get us caught up on some things, and so as much as as as anything else today, we're gonna just touch on, kind of just touch touch on some stories. We miss some things that need to be on our radar. Doctor Joe will join us next hour. Iris Chaffell in the third hour, how about those noles Huh. You know, normally I would say something like they're trying their best. Yeah,

it appears we are off the air in Panama City. Okay, we're working on it. We're I'm not so sure all those kids are trying their best? Are you? And that is a direct reflection of a couple of problems. And that's something we'll talk about with IRA, because when kids stop playing, they're either not being held accountable for that by benching, or they just don't care at all, and they don't even hear the coaches anymore. It's sort of the same thing. It's just a different symptom of the problem.

You know, normally an athlete would hold him or herself up to a personal standard, but that's not happening. So, you know, I don't know what to tell you. I've looked at the schedule, and I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure there's but one more win in this season for FSU, and a two win season would be catastrophic to Mike Norvel. He would have to make massive changes across his staff. He would just have to, and

that's one of the things we're gonna do. I don't know that we're gonna talk specifics with IRA about this game, although they were you know, there were a couple of moments, but I mean, they lost all three phases. They lost on offense, they lost on defense, they lost in special teams. Special teams has been their strength, not this week. Two huge penalties that were they were legitimate penalties. So yeah, back with more Morning Show with Preston Scott.

you that. But anyway, speaking of big stories in the press box, Governor Rondo Santis said that the damage from Helene is worse than Nadhalia. I think that's depending on where you were, because I've got people that lived through Adalia, Debbie, and say Debbie and Nadalia were worse by far than Helene De Wi you might remember as a Cat one. We're going to just leave that there for right now.

There was no doubt unbelievable amounts of rain in this storm because the flooding and there was absolutely some storm surge, and I would attribute that to something Terry Smith said to us. The pressure of the storm was remarkably strong, and so that exerts kind of a displacement factor. On the water, and then you bring any level of wind to that, you're going to get significant storm surge. But I'm just I'm not convinced yet that this was a Cat three or four storm, But we'll talk more about

that later in the week. It certainly was a To someone who's world was flooded or damaged, that doesn't matter, I understand that. But there's a bigger picture here that we have to consider, and it's placing trust in future forecasts and what we're being told, what we're being warned of, and I worry of something that may be going on here, but we'll get to that. There are people that have been displaced, a lot of people. There are people that have been ravaged by this storm in Florida as well

as Georgia and North Carolina and Tennessee. I mean, it's just it's staggering the amount of rain that's been dumped by this thing. That video does not lie. Florida Disaster Fund is opened up if you'd like to donate, It's just Florida Disasterfund dot org. Tax deductible donations go to help people. You may not know the name Laura Lara Logan.

She used to work for sixty minutes. They didn't like her because she reported things that they don't like, like being gang raped by a bunch of Saudis when she was being or Egyptians or whatever when she was covering a story in the Middle East. She is an independent journalist. Let me read from a post. She's a very credible independent journalist. According to an informant in New Mexico, Trump's

plane is the next target for assassination. Nine heat seeking surface to air missiles have been smuggled into the US for the purpose. There are three killed teams already inside the country. Trump has been informed so of US intelligence agencies and other authorities. Money has been transferred to a cartel to push this over the border. These people are cornered and vicious. They will stop at nothing more to

come okay. Speaking of the border, one last note. According to the acting Director of Immigration's Custom Enforcement, Patrick leck Leitner, thirteen thousand convicted murderers four hundred and thirty five thousand criminals roaming the United States. As of July thirteen thousand convicted murderers have come across the border. Almost a half a million confirmed criminals. Forty minutes past the hour Big stories in the press box. Just scratch in the surface,

all right. We are working to solve the issue in Panama City. It's not going to happen this morning. So through your network, feel free to share with anyone you know that they can stream WFLA FM one hundred point seven in Tallahassee. You can stream that wherever you are. And so in Panama City there's your backup to get the morning show. And again our apologies, we're we're going to figure it out. And so our crack engineering staff

is on it. Small big stories, one bigger than another on Tuesday last week, and this didn't get a ton of publicity because of the storm and because of other stories, and because the mainstream media has a vested interest in covering this kind of story up. What do you think of?

But what thoughts enter your mind when you learn that Paul Pelosi, husband of the former speaker, sold two thousand shares of Visa stock worth more than five hundred thousand dollars shortly before the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against the credit card company. DOJ accused Visa of suppressing competition by threatening merchants with high fees and paying off potential rivals and so once again, and this is

something Peter Schweitzer touched on years ago, insider trading. There is zero doubt that Paul Pelosi did not benefit from direct information from his wife. Come on, he just has this habit of routinely selling off stock or buying stock in moments when the government's taking action or something's about to happen. It's called insider trading. And oh, by the way, Democrats aren't the only ones that do it. Republicans do it. It's just Democrats have perfected the art. She should be prosecuted.

This is ridiculous. There's got to be some connecting of the dots here. Come on, this is just that continued crap that we deal with as citizens members of the federal government. Again both parties. But this is Nancy Pelosi we're talking about, and the continued explosion of their personal wealth at the expense of you. You don't get the benefit of that insider knowledge. Anyone who owns individual stocks

in visa knew nothing about this. But somehow Paul Pelosi just happens to unload his shares just ahead of time. Isn't that amazing? What a very shrewd investor. He is, He's so lucky all right. Forty six passed the hour back with more of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Got a new blog going up shortly and that blog will reunite us with two of our favorites, Olivan Mabel, two very good dogs, skyrocketed to fame during COVID. Some of you have been followers of Olive and Mabel on

YouTube and Instagram and Facebook and all that. Andrew Cotter, their owner, is a British commentator. He's brilliant. He's a typical brit very dry, and during COVID, he didn't have any work, like a lot of people out of work. Nothing was there was not in the broadcast, and so and so he started. He did a video as if it were play by play of his dogs eating food, and it exploded in part because that's what people were doing. They were binge watching stuff on YouTube and social media

all over and let's face it, we love dogs. Olive and Mabel, a black lab and a yellow lab. Olive is by far the older of the two, and it will be a very rough day when Olive passes on, because not only is Olive Andrew Cotter's good friend. But you could argue Olive and her junior Mabel are buddies to millions around the world, and tears will flow. But he uploaded a recent video, and he drops these videos out routinely, but you know I don't post every single

one on my blog page. This one was an accumulation of video that never got posted, and he put it all together into about a six minute clip, which is a little long for him. I highly recommend, in fact, on the blog, I will link to their YouTube page because you really ought to see it from the beginning. It's worthy of binge watching. And I don't know what it is about dogs. Dogs are just they make us laugh, they make us go all there are friends. They're smart.

They are your non judgmental buddy, and you know, scratching behind the ears. Give them a little rub on the belly and make sure they're fed. You're good, yours for life doesn't take much anyway. A couple other things here, well, at least one add it to the list of reasons why evs are not good ideas. I know, I know some of you are thinking officials inside the state warning that any EV that was caught in the floodwaters could be in danger of exploding because salt water and lithium

batteries are not a good mix. Just saying the danger of the storm surge from the Gulf that came in flooded a bunch of vehicles. The chance of fire and or explosion is there. Tampa Mayor Jane cast A noted illiberal warrens she's seen reports of cars and even scooters that were exposed to salt water exploding in the days since landfall. That's been what two three days, Just saying

just something to be aware of. If you have friends that have an ev that we're exposed to the storm surge and water's coming in that have sold in, just add it to the list. Come back, and while we focused on other things, notably a storm coming in, there's a lot of other news and we're going to start to unpack all that in the next couple segments. It's Monday. Good to be back with you here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, second hour of the

Morning Show with Preston Scott. For those of you in the Panama City area that are listening on the stream, we're grateful that iHeartRadio is available to you. We are going to get the broadcast issues resolved, but it might be tomorrow before we are back with you, So just hang in there, bear with us. And I recognize that I'm largely just talking to an empty room, because if

you can't hear something, never mind. I was just looking at video of Horseshoe Beach area and it was helicopter video, and it struck me that while there was absolutely wind damage there, there was one thing it looked like a tornado, houses standing, home standing, and then this path in between homes. Just bad storm and it will take a long time for some people to rebuild their lives. The flooding has been calamitous where this storm has dumped rain and is

still dumping rain. A lot of things happened as we had our eyes on that storm. Just sort of a mixed bag here of stories. Not going to spend a bunch of time on any one. By now you know Israel targeted attack has Blue leader say Eda Hassan israla one less terrorist in the world. Good and some of his subordinates good. Okay, Next, I'm seriously that's fine. Just I am absolutely fine with that. This seems odd to me, although Tom Fitt and I think it's Judicial Watch. They are.

They are the Friend of Freedom, that organization. We've had Tom on the show once or twice over the years. They are involved in this lawsuit filed by the state the family of Ashley Babbitt, and Judge Anna Reus of the US District Court in the District of Columbia schedule a trial date for July twentieth, twenty twenty six. What It's a thirty million dollar wrongful death suit filed on behalf of the estate and the family of Ashley Babbitt inside the complaint filed by I think Judicial Watch as

part of it. The shooting occurred at the east entrance Speaker's lobby. The demonstrators filled the hallway outside the lobby. Two individuals and the crowded, tightly packed hallway struck and dislodged the glass panels and the lobby doors and the right side doorlight. Lieutenant Byrd who is the United States Capitol Police Commander, was the incident commander for the house on January sixth, shot Ashley on site as she raised

herself into the opening of the right door sidelight. Later, Bird confessed that he shot Ashley before seeing her hands or assessing her intentions, or even identifying her as a female. Ashley was unarmed, Her hands were up in the air, empty and plaine view of Lieutenant Burt and others in the other officers in the lobby. Yeah, that's what the video shows. He shot and killed her. I'm not saying

that he might not feel bad about it. I'm saying that any other police officer would be facing criminal punishment and likely prison. He murdered her. He violated every single rule of engagement. And I'm going to talk about this with J. D. Johnson on Wednesday in our Personal Defense segment. It's a news story that I think, with his years of law enforcement background, I think that I'll be anxious to hear his opinion on it. He was promoted. She's dead.

And when you think of the people that have been prosecuted wrongfully for January sixth, and people that have not been like all of the FBI agents that incited this riot that were buried in undercover playing clothes, where's the accountability for them? Again, there were some that crossed the line on January sixth, maybe what half dozen, not hundreds? We have political prisoners in this country. No different than

China or North Korea, or Russia or Iran. I guess I would ask, are we leaning towards liberty in this country or are we leaning towards socialism and communism in this country? Where we headed eleven minutes after the hour, just catch it up. Catch it up here in the Morning Show with Preston Scott again, just a few little stories here and there. Nearly fifty percent of US homes remain unsold for at least sixty days in the latest realtor reports, and the sub headline is it's turning into

a buyer's market. We have not seen that in a while. Now. That's going to be hampered by the fact that we still have elevated mortgage rates. The Fed may have cut their rates modestly, but we're nowhere near where people are going to go jump out of one in three quarters two and a half percent mortgage, especially if prices are

now starting to maybe fall flat or fall lower. You're not going to see existing owners start flipping out of their home and go into something else paying a higher mortgage rate that's more than double what they might be paying right now. They're just not going to do that. There's the occasional person that might be able to put enough money down to buy it down, But most people don't have the money for a standard down payment, let alone to buy it down to offset the rate of

interest in where it is. And I don't know that that would even make sense anyway. From a fiscal perspective. Forty eight percent of US listings for August remain on the market. That's just again just letting you know, speaking of things that are kind of in the economy. Listen to these comments by Janet Yellen. Now she's the Treasury secretary. One would think the Secretary of the United States Treasury would be a little bit more focused on sound economic

policy and less on politics. You tell me what this sounds like. She penned an article for The Wall Street Journal just over a week ago, said that veering off course could jeopardize our economic trajectory. Tax cuts for our earnings earners quote, would explode the federal deficit. Repealing investments in the industries of the future would stunt growth. Pursuing non targeted, non strategic international economic policies would raise costs

for Americans and cause global turmoil. She touted the federal government's investments in green energy, calling them cutting edge industries, praised the vaccination program during COVID. We then navigated additional crises, including energy shock from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and made critical investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, from clean energy to semiconductors. W question mark, exclamation point, question mark what is she just?

She's not ignorant, but it's amazing that she could leave out Joe Biden's assassination of our domestic energy production. That the COVID vaccine program has killed people, has destroyed this economy because of COVID itself. You do remember that COVID exploded after the vaccine started. It's a magnet and it's not a prevention. It's a treatment. And if you even dare call it a treatment that was successful, you'd you would be hard pressed to prove it. Industries of the future,

tax cuts for higher earners would explode the deficit. What do you think's happening now? The reason things improved under Trump is because we brought money back that wasn't being taxed in America. One hundred billion dollars just as a as a just a grabbing a number of someone's money. That's now taxable in the country at a reduced rate is better than zero at an inflated rate when the

money's overseas because we're not taxing it. I just my point is, was that the statement of an economic advisor or a politician seventeen minutes after the own there's more it'll hold. Yeah, we're gonna talk a little left issue football next hour. You're wearing ashes and sackcloth. I get it. But perspective comes with a glance to other parts of the country being ravaged by this after effects of Hurricane Helen. So perspective is that it's just sports, but it still sucks.

They just anyways, we'll talk to Irischafel doctor Joe Campson just a little bit. Mom of a Division one volleyball player in Idaho, April Cheney. Her daughter was scheduled to face an athlete with San Jose State University who, though her daughter plays for the female Division one volleyball program at Boise State, they were going to have to compete against a male athlete because San Jose State has no shame in rolling out a male volleyball player pretending to

be a female. A guy named Blair Fleming born Brayden. San Jose State is undefeated, but now there are two schools that have forfeited losses to them. One of them is Boise State. In a statement, Boise State Volleyball will not play its scheduled match against San Jose State on Saturday. Per Mountain West Conference policy. The conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Boise State. Broncos will next compete October third against Air Force, second

school that is opted out. Thank you. That is how we'll win this war. That is how we will force the NCAA in governing bodies across the country and around the world world to deal with this issue instead of pretending it doesn't exist. One of Blair Fleming's teammates has filed a lawsuit. Brooke Slusser, was not aware that Fleming

was transgender, despite sharing rooms together on team trips. Brook estimates that Fleming spikes were traveling upward of eighty miles per hour, faster than she had ever seen a woman hit at volleyball. The girls were doing everything they could to dodge Fleming spikes, but still could not fully protect themselves.

It's about safety as well as fairness. I just want to remind you in case you've lost sight of this, it's a high school volleyball player named Peyton McNabb who suffered a concussion and a neck injury back in November after a male volleyball opponent pretending to be a female spiked a ball in her face at a speed estimated at seventy six miles per hour. If I'm not mistaken, she has been partially paralyzed ever since. And I know what some of you might be thinking, now, whatever, no, no, no,

it's not well. Whatever, it's making normal that which is abnormal. We cannot do that to the parents that are like, I don't want to talk about this with my children. You're a bad parent if you don't want to talk about this with your children, because they're going to face this and your unwillingness to talk about this will leave them unprepared for the appropriate response, which is not hate. It's not bullying, it's not bigotry. It is simple science.

There are males and females and sadly junior missy. There are people, mostly men, pretending to be women. There are exceptions, but when it comes to the world of athletics, you don't ever worry about the other you worry about the men who can't compete as men, who then decide I'll compete as a woman. And to those of you that think, why would anyone do that, exactly, that's why it's mental illness. Twenty eight minutes after the hour, quickly said of the

big stories in the press box. Next thirty six minutes past the hour, big stories in the press box, there was a storm and we were fortunate the windy dot com app nailed the ending of that storm, which was a sigh of relief for us and bad news for Taylor County in the area to the east. I think it would be safe to say that the storm was massive and caused widespread flooding, not just in Florida, but

obviously into Georgia and North Carolina and Tennessee. And but I'm getting differing reports from people that are emailing me that live in Taylor County that are saying Debbie was worse. As far as wind. There are a lot of questions about the wind reporting, and that's something that we will spend some time digging into and talking about. Wednesday is I want a couple of days to just kind of

dig through some things. But I've got concerns about the authenticity of the National Hurricane Center and believe that there may be ulterior motives behind the hyperbole around some storms, not all. Obviously, Michael was a disaster, but you can't hide that, can you. I mean, that just was a huge, massive storm. But I worry that that the inaccuracy of the National Hurricane Center on at least two fronts could

post problems down the road with other storms. And as somebody who along with a team of others, spent hours doing our best to keep everyone informed accurately about what was going on, it was a little disheartening to see their projections on wind arrivals being off by eight to ten hours. I mean, that's even if you cut that

in half, there's five hours there of preparation time. Right, There's five hours where maybe stores could be opened just a little bit longer to help out and still have plenty of time to safely get its people to wherever

they need to be. I'm just saying I think there are problems with where we are with some of the forecasting, and understand that a lot of meteorologists are they're relying on the National Hurricane Center for you know, what's being shared from the hurricane hunters and the measurements, and I remember them saying the winds weren't matching up with what was expected. And then I hear people saying, oh, but the winds are higher or aloft. Well, but we've never

had that distinction before. The winds are the winds, and you know, it's what's going to impact people. Now, what's going to impact the atmosphere up however, many thousands of feet in the air. I mean, no deuce who cares there's a jet stream up there all the time that are pushing planes or or shoving against them. Lara Logan reporting that there is in information she is a very credible independent journalist, that Trump's airplane, Trump Forced one, is

targeted for a air to air missile attack. That Trump has been notified, as have US Intel agencies, that aired air missiles have been smuggled across by the cartels into the United States. Those are your big stories. Forty minutes past the hour, Doctor Joe Camps standing by next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

I know why. But anyway, this morning, real quickly I wanted to talk about something I think is on the cutting edge with stem cells. You know, we've talked in the past about stem cells in their tree meant for potential cancers. But a twenty five year old woman with type one diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a stem cell transplant. And this was done basically, it stimulated the island cells of the

pancreas to produce insulin and glucagon. And so you know type one diabetes is where the autoimmune system attacks your pancreas attacks the island cells, so you can't produce insulin. Now we're all for me with type two and that's when the overeating obesd the one that everybody is pretty much familiar with that you treat with insulin and other medication.

But this is the first time that someone basically has received a stem cell transplant and these were extracted from her own body and this has lasted now for months. This was port reported on in the journal of Nature and also the Journal of Cancer, and again I think, uh, stem cells are going to be the big breakthrough for cancer therapy. But this is the first one that I've seen today. A person was given stem cells to stimulate

that pancreas to produce insulin. So's it's shown to be a very promising evidence that that that we one day well begin to maybe find ways to treat some of these diseases without having to use medical therapies. And so

really excited about this one. This is the first time this has been reported, and I think it bears worth watching and keeping an eye on this because I do think anytime you can get the body to produce the way to take care of the issue rather than pharmacology, I think that's always more been.

what God judges. We're talking about. How about, if we put it another way, being fruit inspectors, we're supposed to look at each other's lives and say, dude, you can do better. Let me tell you, I'm constantly looking at my life through that lens, and I'm I'm grateful to have a wife that looks at my life through that lens. But we have to accept responsibility for the condition of

our country. We have to accept responsibility that because there are so few people that are actually living like Christians, we've lost our saltiness. There's such limited differentiation between people going to church on Sunday and the secular world anymore. Oh, sure for an hour on Sunday, But are you seeing that impact in our culture today? Yes? Or no? Are we not more accurately represented by Congress and who we

elect and who we have to elect from. Isn't that a better representation of what's really going on in our country? The old idea that I've been sharing for years, we are who we elect. So how do we become better? Well by accepting the fact that we're not hitting the mark, that we are falling short in our walk as Christians. We are not being different. We're in this world, but we're not of it, but we're acting as if we're of this world, because that's we're showing a life that's unchanged.

And so, for example, today's scripture, if you missed, it's Philippians one nine to ten. It is my prayer that your love may be abound more and more with knowledge and discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, abounding more and more with knowledge and discernment. All discernment. Where does discernment come from. It comes from the Holy Spirit.

It comes from a heart that has been changed. And a heart that has been changed is able to discern between right and wrong, good and evil, profitable, not profitable, worthy, unworthy. If you're lacking discernment in these areas, it's probably because you haven't allowed yourself to be transformed by the Gospel of Christ. I know it's uncomfortable, but see God's word doesn't conform to us. We conformed it. It's not a one size fits all, it's a well. If you don't fit,

you need to lose something to fit into it. And that's all the war worldliness that we're trying to get out of our life. Third hour awaits Irish Chaffelle is on deck. We're gonna talk a little le FSU football. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Five minutes after the hour, it's It's Monday. On the Morning Show with Preston Scott Oseo's over there running the radio program

in Studio one. Am here in Studio one B, and I am joined by the managing editor of war chant dot com, who I believe deserves some kind of added bonus pay for having gone to Dallas to witness the game on Saturday night. Iras Chaffel joins us, Irah, how hard was that to watch.

the longer you go. I'm actually posting a column on our site this morning that you know, one of the things he did when he came in, you know, to four to stay five years yars ago, as he cleaned up the lack of accountability, he ran some players off. He made drastic changes and what was expected. Well, that's one thing. It's easy to do that when you're in the new sheriff in town. It's harder when you've built this, you've created this, and you've allowed these problems to manifest.

And so you know, he owns all of this, and it's harder to fix your own mess than it is to clean up somebody else's. And so I think the odds are probably against him turning it around. But the bottom line is he has some time to do it, because you know, the reality is they he does have a seven more years on his contract.

They basically gave up another pick six. You know, it only took a play or two after the interceptions have to score. And so you know, the defense, like you said, they they're kind of you know, they're only going to play hard for so long. So and then the special teams having those disasters, I mean, you just cannot have penalties that erase a sixty seven yard punt and then allow the other team to retain possession instead of trying to punt. And you know that's what there are. They're

just an awful football team right now. And to me, you know, I think there's gonna be plenty of time to really, you know, to your question, there's gonna be plenty of time to reflect on all the things that went wrong to get into this situation. But right now, the most important thing is Mike Norvel has to take a critical ee to this team, this program and make drastic changes because this is not this is not a situation where you're going through some growing pains because you

have some young players in key positions. You know, this is the program has gone off the tracks.

wonder what's driving some of the decision making. He calls the plays on offense and while I think in the infamous you asked him about it in the post game, the twin power sweeps with the quarterback running them, I think if if Lawrence toe feely makes the block on the first one, he might have scored, but there was no chance on that second one. What do you make of the I guess stubbornness to put DJ in situations where he is not going to succeed, you know.

They came into this offseason and in preseason thinking that if they got in short yarded situations, certainly down by the goal line, the DJ at six, you know, three six foot four, two hundred and fifty pounds, would be a weapon in those situations. But it hasn't played out that way in the first five games. It certainly is not looked like that at any point this season. So calling it the first time, okay, fine, like you said, and if it was blocked properly. Lawrence Toffield is a

fifth year senior. You need to be able to count on him to make that block. He whiffs on it and it ruins the play, But then to call it again was just it's inexplicable. And you know, listen, Mike Rovel's gonna have to make a lot of the decisions at the end of the season, one big one about

players and about coaches. One big one is about whether or not he needs to be the offensive coordinator, the play caller for this team because this offense is as bad as some of the personnel deficiencies are, there's no reason that they're playing as bad as they are. There's more talent than when he's getting out of it.

he needs to take a critical eye. He and his staff needs to take a critical eye and say, Okay, which players are part of the solution going forward, and if they're not part of the solution going forward, then they have to be seen as part of the problem and he needs to move forward. You know, I got going into this game. I felt like the SMU game was the last chance for them. If they were going to make a bowl game, they absolutely had to win

that game and continue showing progress. And maybe you could be Duke in Carolina and Charleston Southern Florida. That would give you six wins and now now you at least could go to a bowl game, which would be nice for a lot of reasons. But that's pretty much off the table now. So to me, it doesn't have to be the complete youth movement. I'm not saying you bench everybody that's a senior or a fourth or fifth year junior. But if they're not part of the solution, then they

need to not play. And I think it needs because you need to send a message that you're only gonna play guys who are gonna do everything, you lay it all on the line and give you everything they've got. And right now they're playing a lot of guys that aren't doing that.

young man. That said, Ira, I'm fearful for what the crowd reaction will be Saturday night when he trots out as the starting quarterback, because I think he's going to get played as the starter because of all two, it's Clemson. If there were any other team, do you think DJ starts this weekend?

Your offensive line has been a disaster this season. So I just you know, there's just not really a clear path of victory. So are you doing DJ as solid by letting him play against his former team or are you doing them as solid by not playing him? So I have no idea what they're gonna do, but you know, the injury could could help make that decision.

the healthiest place is somewhere in the middle. The problem is Florida State really couldn't be in the middle because they had to go so heavy in the portal to have the success of the last two seasons, and in some ways they probably mortgaged the future because of that, at least in the short term. But I don't. But that doesn't excuse this team being this bad, you know,

lest clearly they made some bad evaluations. I think they've stuck with some players that they've brought into the program, probably too long, hoping that at some point the light was going to come on, and it just it hasn't. And I feel like as a coach, you have to realize if a guy after three or four years is not producing, there's not a really good chance he's going to produce in his fifth or six years. So I

think that's part of it. And then some of these portal decisions, you know, these are guys I think, you know, if you look back at it, some of these guys they took in the portal this offseason were guys that they really wanted out of high school and couldn't get And after they weren't having success at their other schools at Georgia or Alabama or LSU wherever, after a year or two now they were interested in Florida State, and I think Florida State was enamored by that that Hey,

these are guys we couldn't even get coming out of high school. Now they want to come here and they took them and they're not producing. So I think it's a combination of all those things. But at the end of the day, you know, everything is being compounded. I think you know, it's affecting play calling, it's affecting playtime decisions. Uh, they're just kind of spiraling.

let football fail. When you look at all the things that are going on right now, the money, the bonds they've taken out for the stadium, the football facility, you know, all they've invested in the infrastructure for this football program. With going to happen in conferenary alignment, the future in college athletics, Florida State has to succeed. Failure can't be an option. So it's this is as bottom line of

the business as it is. And I think, you know, he's got to make major changes, and he's also got to reassess himself and how he runs the program. Whatever had worked at Memphis, whatever worked these last two years of Florida State, clearly didn't work this year. And you can't just work through it and hope it gets better. I mean, it has to be fundamental changes for them to have any chance to turn it around.

the great indie films they want. Florida State's the box office draw and one or two bad movies, one or two bad seasons isn't going to change that fair enough.

Logan over the years. She used to work for sixty minutes. She's a highly credible independent journalist, and she has sources that are impeccably accurate and deeply buried in a lot of areas, including the not so kind ones. You know. She can get to cartel members and interview She can get to people that are really bad people and interview them because she safeguards locations and things like that, and

she gets information. Well, she's out there reporting. According to an informant in New Mexico, Trump's plane is the next target for assassination. Nine heats seeking surface to air missiles have been smuggled into the US for this purpose, and there are three kill teams already inside the country. Trump has been informed, so have the United States intelligence agencies other authorities. Money has been transferred to a cartel to push this over the border. These people are cornered and vicious.

They will stop at nothing more to come. So if you go to her ex page and dig, you got to dig, you'll find this stuff, and you'll find other stories, and you'll find an interview with a dude uncovered that is almost bragging about, Yeah, you don't know who I am, but you're gonna where have I heard words like Oh yeah. The kid who shot up Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School said those exact words. You don't know me now, but you will. And this is uh Middle Eastern dude, I

don't know. Lara Logan's out there connecting the dogs. She's saying, this is a serious, credible threat. Get your brain around this surface to air. So the John Brennan's of this world, the party elites in both parties are to the point now where they're going to do whatever it takes to kill Trump and not let him take office. This is

a horrifying story. This is the type of thing that, should it take place, could spiral this country into a civil war because this will be the elite political apparatus, the uniparty against the American people. This is horrifying. There is a Florida disaster relief fund that is now operational. If you want to donate to help, Florida Disasterfund dot org, tax deductible donations Florida Disasterfund dot org. And I probably got these out of order. I should have reversed that

and inserted this. According to the Acting Director of ICE Immigration Custom Enforcement, Patrick Leckleitner, thirteen thousand known illegal immigrants with homicide convictions, fifteen thousand sexual assault convictions have been released into the United States, so and there may be a little bit of an overlap in those. Some of the murder convictions might have sexual assault. So let's just

stay with the murder convictions for a second here. Thirteen thousand divided by the fifty states, that's two hundred and sixty murderers have been released into every state. Now we know that's not the case. We know that they're not going to all go to the fifty states equally, But I just wanted to put some context to that. Fifteen thousand sexual assault convicted criminals, thirteen thousand convicted murders are

running loose in this country. There is no difference in that than just turning loose the maximum security lifers from US prisons and letting him run loose. Is this registering yet how serious this border issue is and how hollow Kamala's claims she's actually blaming Trump because a border bill, which would have been disastrous had it been passed, got

killed by Trump. Republicans forty one minutes, forty two minutes Pass the Hour your favorite topic next to the Morning Show forty three minutes pass the hour.

his transgender genital surgery. Indiana law that took effect last year prevents taxpayer dollars from going towards transgender surgeries. ACLU argued the law violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment because the surgery is a necessity. The fact that tax dollars are being used for things like this is all the evidence I need to present to you to show how fallen in our society we are. Item

number two. In Ohio, man masquerading as a woman was arrested for attempting to abduct an eleven year old boy take him right out of his home in Lions, Ohio. Joshua Friarmouth, taken into custody, wearing a blond wig make up and pearls, goes by the name VICKI told the child, I need to talk to you. As he attempted to lure the boy off his property and away from his dog. The child refused. Friarmuth attempted to grab him. The child was able to escape. Is now safe, he denied the

I wasn't even there. I didn't kidnap anybody, the father said. When he grabbed my son's arm, my dog attacked him. Then he stumbled back off the stairs. He kicked off his heels. My son said he had white heels on. Then he took off running down the street. As an aside, boy, is this guy ugly as a woman? I mean enough to make a train take a dirt road? Kind of ugly? Friends, This is the mental illness that is sweeping this nation. We're trying to normalize this now, we some are trying

to normalize this. This can never ever be allowed as normal. People that are dealing with this confusion in their mind need treatment and help. But this can never be allowed to be mainstreamed and normal because this stuff will continue to happen at a greatio frequency forty seven minutes past that. I told you it was your favorite subject. We're gonna

lighten things up here next. All right, let's do this because I've posted on my blog page an update with two very good dogs, Olive and Mabel, and the quick overview is Olive, the older black lab and Mabel the older yellow sort of yellow white lab. They became stars on the internet at the beginning of COVID. Their owner, a sports commentator from the UK named Andrew Cotter, wasn't doing any broadcasting and so on a lark he decided to just roll tape and create content with his two beloved,

very good dogs. This is what started it all.

to be alive. Everything's amazing. Olive more steady, wasting little energy, very much of the old Labrador school meetings as serious business. Don't bollocks around wagging your tail, and Maybel seems just a little sluggish here. Perhaps more was taken out of her by the worm medicine she was given last night than we thought. But Olive focused, relentless, tasting absolutely nothing.

Mabel trying but surely a lost cause, her title defense coming to an end, Olive taking everything, nothing left but the ball to lick now, and Mabel well, doesn't seem too upset. A bit of class there from the youngster, generous and what will surely be defeat because Olive has won. Now she's taken the title back at seven and a half. Mabel looking to offer congratulations again to the dog who was her inspiration growing up.

But that's what happened. But our engineering team, our senior chief engineer, working on it and will be hopefully back online tomorrow. So I'm just going to do the same show again, stole thing. Just catch you all back up now Tomorrow. US Congresswoman kat Camick scheduled to join us. Some comments from Bill Maher that must be shared and more. Can't wait. Have an awesome day,
