Ep. 5248: Red waves coming!

we always start with some scripture. Psalm sixty three, Verse one, Oh God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you. My soul thirst for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Consider the imagery the words that were chosen by the psalmist. God's word is unlike any thing else that has ever been compiled and written. There is nothing like it, which may have something to do with why more Bibles have been sold than any other book ever published,

and it's not even close. Why would that be? Why would people throughout all the generations since we started printing have purchased one or more Bibles for generations? I mean, what, what? What is it? Well, hopefully you are developing that desire, that thirst for God's word. If you're not there yet, that's all right. Push in, press in, keep trying, and God'll meet you there. Sixty sixty third palm psalm. It's first one as we start the morning show. All right,

it's it's hot in here. Yeah, our air conditioning broke again, and uh and so it's it's it's a little much the inside here. It's all right. I got water, I've got a refrigerator full of cold beverages, so I'll be all right. I could I could open up the refrigerator and just put a little fan in front of bed, but that wouldn't be very efficient. Let's see here, it's October the seventh. Can you believe it's already October? And

we're already one week in. By the way, later this week, tempts in the region will be in the fifties at night, high's in the seventies. Now. My basic rule of thumb has always been one week plus or minus from Halloween. Could we be seeing an earlier than normal shift to the cooler weather. I don't know, no way to know, but yeah. Seventeen sixty five, October seventh, The Stamp Act Congress,

the Stamp Act. Congress meet to New York City to discuss colonial grievances against England seventeen sixty five, eleven years before we said we've had it. So any idea that the birth of this nation was a quickly organized thing. This was a culmination of events that led to the declaration of independence. People in Congress would be really smart to think about this. Eventually, people just say enough eventually. Seventeen seventy seven, Patriots defeat the British in the Second

Battle of Saratoga in New York. Seventeen eighty, Patriot militia forces annihilate the Loyalist army at King's Mountain in South Carolina annihilate ouch a spanking. Eighteen twenty six, the Granite Railway and early US Railroad begins operation in Quincy, Massachusetts, with horse drawn wagons hauling stone to build the Bunker Hill Monument. Huh Who Knew? Nineteen sixteen in Atlanta, Georgia, Tech beats Cumberland College two hundred and twenty two to nothing.

So fsu fans, it could always be worse, and in two thousand and one, troops launch Operation Enduring Freedom, campaign to destroy terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. So roughly a month after nine to eleven, just under we start to attack training camps in Afghanistan. And what happened. Now, how many years later Joe Biden hands a bunch of technology

and equipment over to those same people. This is the danger of electing stupid people, because people that do not learn from history are stupid and condemn us to repeat that history. Sixteen past the hour come back. It was a tailor of two football teams. Hey, congratulations, Rattler football fans, got yourself a good win on the road, and that's always good. The Rattlers are are through with their D one schedule. They're now in the FCS portion of their schedule.

Like like all teams that that play in this in the FCS, they take a paycheck whenever possible, which is why FAMU has if I'm not mistaken, their schedules already called for Miami and Troe. I think those were D

one programs on their schedule. They took their two l's, they've won their other three games, so they're beating the teams in their class, losing to the teams that should beat them, but they're making money doing it, and that's just part of the deal when you're a HBCU, you take the paychecks and take a couple l's and then move on. So they get a nice win on the road at Alabama State twenty eight to thirteen. That score sounds really familiar. Oh yeah, that's because FSU lost by

twenty nine to thirteen to Clemson. But Fam, you off this weekend before traveling to Jackson State in Mississippi on the nineteenth. Now the night before it's Friday night, FSU has to play five and one duke on the road. A duke Duke is almost always a very well disciplined team. Now they have a new head coach. Their head coach went to Texas A and M, where he's already showing some progress there taking over the train wreck that Jimbo

Fisher left behind. But here at Florida State. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Mike Norvel is starting to lose the fan base. And it's sad because what's happening is there's a growing thought that the stage could be too big and that he just I mean, you've got right now almost open anarchy among the fans because they're looking at at the play calling and the style of offense. And okay, you're running an offense that makes no sense for dj Uyungla and so Dj gets hurt.

You got Brock Glenn who comes in there. Brock clearly played better and he's a better fit for this type of offense that Mike Norvel runs. The problem is Norvell's not letting him run it. I mean, Brock Glenn threw the ball a gazillion times and he needed to be running the ball. Yeah, he needs to be. You can't run an option offense. I know enough about football to know this. When you're running an option, whether it's with one running back or two, there has to be an option.

I mean, that's why they call it an option offense. Now, it's fine if your option is you're going to pull the dive, which is to the running back right into the heart of the defense. You pull it out and throw a quick slant or something like that. But that's generally not what we do. We occasionally throw it to

the flats, and that's fine, that's good. But the option running game, which is what we feast on under Mike Norvel, is if you don't hand it off, it's because you, as the quarterback see a favorable matchup for you to run, and so you pull the ball and you run. But our quarterbacks aren't running. Now, I get it with DJ, but that's when you should have changed offenses. You get

rid of the option portion of the offense. Or you bring in another running back and you fake the dive and you pitch to the half back running wide if you don't want your quarterback to take hits. We've got a few running backs. Most college teams do, and so this is what is exasperating the fans. Offensively, defensively, we're a train wreck. Our offensive line is a train wreck, and our defense is a train wreck. The line is

playing marginally better, but not all that much. But the second level and third level of our defense is just horrible. They don't tackle well, they don't take angles well, they don't do anything that requires discipline. Well. So I hate to be that guy. But unless Brock Glenn is given the keys to the car the rest of the season and he grows into it a little bit more, if we win more than three games, I'll be shocked. If we win three, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but more than

three shocked. And that was that's a team that Mike Norvell said in the pregame in the preseason was the best team he's ever been had in camp. How wrong he was. Either he was so wrong in talent evaluation, or he and the coaching staff have ruined the talent that they had. It's one or the other, or a little of both. Twenty seven past the hour, we will talk more about all that with Irishapfel, But until then,

I'm not saying nothing. All right, thirty six minutes past the hour, Good morning, friends, Welcome to the radio program known as Common Sense Amplified. Yeah, you're likely not gonna get a bunch of profound insight listening to this program every now and then. Maybe so, I don't know, you might just get a different way of viewing or looking at the different things that are out there. But what we do tend to do is run everything through the lens of common sense and allow that to be kind

of our filter for things. Now, the big stories today really revolve around the weather. We've got another storm brewing and it's it's weird. I it's just weird. You've got a storm in the Western Gulf that is gonna go east. It's gonna it's gonna just nip the tip of Mexico, Cancun and then just start shifting, kind of like a sliding put on a golf green, and it's gonna make its way to Tampa right now. The app I use shows landfall basically Sarasota, the bad stuff coming late Wednesday afternoon.

If I'm not mistaken, that area got hammered with floods. The bad rain this time looks north of the storm as opposed to the others. I mean, it's weird because you're normally talking east and west walls right the east side of the storm and the west side of the storm, and you don't want to be on the east side of the storm. Well, this is north and south. It's just weird anyway, it's a storm. To pay attention to what's happening in North Carolina is unconscionable. I'm getting I'm seeing.

I'm hearing everything from hundreds of people dead, people not identified yet that are in body bags, to hundreds missing, stories of people literally their home just being swept away. We're sending money and spending money on everyone except Americans. We sent one hundred and fifty seven million to eleven and sending how much money to Ukraine? How much money was spent nearly one billion on sheltering illegals, and FEMA is saying they're out of money, Reports of threats of

arrest for anybody that dares try to help. Elon Musk is out there. He's posting a way like crazy. He finally dogged Pete Bootage to such a degree that Bootages said call me, and so they quote worked it out so that Starlink could get in there. Engineers were reporting the efforts that they were trying to make to help people, and they were being stopped by the Feds. People that want to run rescue helicopters to rescue people are being stopped by the federal government, and the calculus behind it

is absolutely horrifying. We'll get to that next forty minutes past the hour. There appears to be a reason for this. Politico is telling it. Look Politico is in the tank for the left outlet. For the most part, there's every now and then some really good reporting, as it's the case with even the New York Times Washington Post. There's some good reporting that comes out of there, but you have to understand that most media outlets are owned by run by leftists, and they want their party to win.

They want their ideals to advance. They're not very smart because they don't understand that these ideals hurt them. But Politico has a headline. Listen to the headline, Helene hit Trumps strongholds in Georgia and North Carolina. It could swing the election. Here's the calculus. In the county's hardest hit by this storm, Trump wins those counties by on average double figures, all of them except I think two in North Carolina that we're hit. The strongholds in both states

were largely unaffected by the storm. The idea is, and again this is Politico said it it could swing the election. The idea is Democrats are actually kind of happy about the storm and the slow response, and that the slow response is intentional, say some because if you delay the repair of the area the region, you increase the likelihood those people don't vote can't vote. These these rural areas suddenly become non factors in the overall state. That's the calculus.

And so the question being asked now is, like COVID, are Democrats seizing on a disaster to help their election chances, well, you look at the FEMA response, you look at the federal response, you look at what's going on, you decide for yourself. In Massachusetts, Governor Mara Healy implemented new gun legislation last week that requires not just applicants to demonstrate basic safety principles and complete live fire training before being

granted being for granted a gun license. There they're cracking down on bump stocks, trigger cranks, ghost guns. You know, the Supreme Court's already ruled on bump stocks. But see, it doesn't matter. The Supreme Court's already ruled on things like you have to do this and you have to do that to get a permit, permit, what are you talking about? It's this thinking Second Amendment? How did your permission? I have the right to have a firearm. I will add we have the right to make them. I don't

see anything in there that prevents that. Contrary to Joe Biden's constant and repeated lie, Americans have been making their own guns since the Revolution, and cannons for that matter. But this idea, and again the Supreme Court Massachusetts is like, whatever, it doesn't matter what they say, will do what we want doesn't matter what the laws of the constitution, will do what we want. This is the danger of democrats

and the danger of where we're going. When you ignore what a court says, you are suddenly in a space that is not very safe. When the rule of law does not matter and elected people say we'll do what we want. It doesn't matter what you think, will do what we want. See these rights the Constitution, the amendments. The amendments tell the government what it cannot do. You and I have a right to have a firearm. The Second Amendment reminds the government of that right. But Massachusetts

doesn't care. Forty seven minutes past the hour, just keeping you up to date on what's going on. Well, isn't it interesting what I have in my hands? And you're like, well, what do you have in your hands? Preston my never nicotine stained fingers. Pulled from the National Weather Service website. Website National Weather Service its title post tropical cyclone report, storm name Hurricane Helene tallahassee office dates, fatalities, events summary.

Hurricane Helene made landfall is a Category four hurricane with maximum sustained winds and blah blah blah blah blah. Move quickly inland, and it goes on highest ten land wins in knots. National Weather Service Tower six sustained highest winds fifty five knots. Perry Foley Airport forty eight knots, Mayo forty seven knots, one forty five knots, tallasse International Airport

forty two knots. Moody air Force Base thirty eight knots, Valdosta Regional Airport thirty five knots, Tower five thirty five knots, Fitzgerald Municipal Airport thirty three knots, Moultrie Municipal Airport thirty one knots. West Tampa sixty eight point six, Applechicola thirty five, Panama City twenty eight the highest gusts, and that, by the way, those last three were win marine wins. West Tampa sixty eight point six, Applecchicola thirty five, Panama City

twenty eight the highest gusts measured. Mayo, Perry Foley Airport eighty six and eighty respectively, the highest gus measured. I'm just reading the report from the National Weather Service. I took a little abuse from some folks for my contention that while this was absolutely a storm, and it was a dramatic rain event. I do not believe that these storm the winds ever reached Category three or four, might have barely reached Category two. And this is just our area.

But it extends into Perry, it extends to Mayo, it extends into Georgia enough to do damage. Absolutely no doubt about it. Not suggesting that. I mean, the evidence is all around the damage it did. But I am repeatedly getting notes from people saying, you know, I drove across after a Dallia, I drove across I ten after Debbie, and I drove across I ten after Helene, and there's no comparison. There just isn't. I just wanted to point out, because we're gonna talk about this whole thing a little

bit more throughout the week. I'm trying to get Mark Morano from the Climate Depot on the show. Scott Beacon has done incredible amount of research on this subject the b Line blogger and has written on it. We're gonna talk with Scott later this week. So I'm just saying, that's an official report that any one of you can look up and see for yourself. We've already got one hour done. Second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott is right around the corner, and don't you dare

miss it. The Morning Show with Prestin Scott, Good morning, Friend's good to be with you. Mosey's over there running the show in Studio one A. I'm here at Studio one B. It's Monday, October seventh, and our thoughts and prayers are with everybody in the path of this storm. Don't want it for anybody, do not want it for anybody. Well, we talked last hour about the fact that the Left is going to do anything it can to try to win this election. And I'll go ahead and say it

out loud, steal it. And if you want to know what's at stake, I don't know what more I could possibly do to explain what's at stake. We document the stories, we talk about a time and time again, and we talked about how even the opportunity for you know, I don't personally think that COVID was a bio weapon unleashed on America. Now the vaccines might be taking advantage of

a crisis. States altered laws, violated laws, changed how elections were done in violation of their state constitutions in violation at times in Pennsylvania's case of Supreme Court orders. I mean, the list goes on and on. So your no, that was a fair election, stop it. It just wasn't. What about that nothing happened legal really by the time things got through the court system, it was too late. And oh, by the way, the questions were never properly addressed and answered.

But I got setting that aside. This is really what's at stake here, and the next step in trying to shape the outcome of this election is going to be done online as it's been, as it was done before. The Russian collusion that Hillary Clinton insisted it happened. It was all paid for by Hillary's campaign and the Democrat Party. That's a fact. It's a fact. There was nothing to it. That's a fact. Four years ruining Trump's administration, that's a fact.

Dealing with all of this, So now we've got the screeching, whining brain voice of Hillary Clinton on CNN saying this.

And it's not just the social and psychological effects, it's real harm.

all of them, but some of them. Now, why would that be, well, it's an algorithm press really then, why wasn't that algorithm on all of our stations? Why was it just one a couple of them? Could it be that those stations have been earmarked? We dealt with it during COVID. I've personally dealt with it during COVID, and I don't mean my personal page because I don't have a personal page. I don't do that stuff. I'm talking about the station and the radio program. And this all

gets down to the government. Hillary Clinton believes, John Kerry believes. Adam Shift believes the government should be the arbiter of your truth. The truth you're allowed to consume. Mmm mm m m. You shouldn't be allowed to think that. In fact, you shouldn't be allowed to consume anyone's information or opinions that think that. That's what's at stake in this election. That's what makes us all horrifying. This is what these people think and believe. It's their job to determine the

information you consume. It's up to them. And they're doing it with your food. They're doing it with your light bulbs. They're doing it with your cars. They're doing it with your appliances. They're doing it with the energy that you can or cannot use. It's all about control. You remember, now, won't you must get the shot to fly, to travel, to socialize. Don't tell me this isn't true. It is eleven passed the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

And it's not just the social and psychological effects, it's real harm.

scientific certainty that still exists. I got killed for it. My company called me in over that because I hurt the entire company, because all myhearts because of this irresponsible post, and I said on the phone meeting. It was not irresponsible. It is factually accurate, and I will not take it down as simple as that. We come back. Kevin O'Leary, one of the Sharks, guest on the program. We've had

Kevin on the show. O'Leary Ventures explains why the ISLA International Longshoreman's Association demands are not realistic or good for America. Also the amazing thing that's happened in Pennsylvania since twenty twenty, all that more still to come. Sixteen passed. Getting back on time this morning show with Preston Scott already talking storm surge along the Peninsula, the west coast of Florida, which got hit with a lot of rain with Helene this time our part of the world. Not much of

threat is Milton to us. It's mostly maybe a little rain. If it jogs a little north, we'll get some rain, because there's a lot of rain in this storm to the north side of it. And yes, north, that's weird, right, It just is its orientation, its movement is coming across the Gulf. I mean, you would have thought the formation of this thing would have shoved it into Texas or Louisiana. At worst. But no, no, no, now it's going to track almost due east. It's just weird. Anyway, we're keeping

an eye on it. Kevin O'Leary, who's one of the sharks from Shark Tank, he was a guest on the show. Really enjoyed that guy. He was part of the first Commerce Credit Union Power Forward Speaker series. He was terrific. He was terrific. I can do without Barbara Corcoran because she's a little too foul mouthed for me. But Kevin O'Leary and some of the others that have some of the Robert Hergibek, I mean, he's delightful, just really smart,

good people. He said. The trouble with East Coast ports is they're old, they're inefficient, and the issue here is automation. When you start to compare them against other international ports like Singapore and other Asian ports, we're just not holding much up against them and that's bad for productivity. Now the union is steadfastly quoting from their statement against any form of automation, full or semi that replaces jobs or historical work functions. We will not accept the loss of

work or livelihood for our members. I'm sorry see there's the problem. We now then become less competitive, business is less efficient, and you own a business, it should be your prerogative how you want to run it. Unions prevent largely the free enterprise capitalist system to work properly. O'Leary says, we've just got to let automation go where it goes, because there's zero evidence on the East or West coast that if you automate and make it more efficient, more productive,

that it hurts wages at all. It may even increase actual pay. You give employees that know how to use these robotic systems so they become more engineer oriented. It helps job creation, helps value of wage growth. Will it

eliminate some jobs? Yeah, Automation does that, but it's up to the worker to adapt skill sets to meet the requirements of the job mentioned Pennsylvania's shift, according to polling done Trafalgar Insider Advantage, Trump right Now in the Electoral College, would hold two hundred and ninety six electoral votes to Harris's two twenty six. Trump right Now is plus two point two in Pennsylvania and Michigan, one point one up in Wisconsin, up one in Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and

Tiede in Georgia. Sixty three of sixty seven counties in Pennsylvania shift did Republicans since twenty twenty. Sixty three of sixty seven. That's that's crazy, and that's being unreported. I'll also point out Pennsylvania is historically a blue state. It just is. But people are funny. When it comes to their wallet, the blue and the red just kind of yeah. When it comes to their wallet, the blue and the red just disappears. When it comes to the border and immigration,

it just melts. For the most part, there's still going to be some that just hang on. It's like here in the Capital City of Florida. I mean, the Little City of Florida is one of the bluest communities in Florida, and it explains the dysfunction downtown. It's all there. You go. You know, when you citizens get tired of the absurdity of the way this community is largely governed, you let me know. I can fix it for you. I can

tell you exactly what you need to do. Break away from the old, ridiculous, wasted, proven wrong philosophies of the left, and you'll thrive. Twenty seven minutes after the hour. Big stories in the press box coming up next. Doctor Joe Camps to follow here on the Morning Show thirty five, almost thirty six past the hour. How bad is the

federal government handling what's going on in North Carolina? Listen to this chain of tweets between an engineer working for Elon Musk trying to get communication equipment on the ground in the affected area. Hey, Elon update here on site Asheville, North Carolina. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We've been deployed

three hundred plus Starlinks. It has saved many lives. The big issue is FEMA actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It's very real and scary how much they've taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked on the shipments of new Starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the Fire Department, but that may

not be enough. Another tweet twenty minutes later, they are now about to shut down the airspace to regulate the private choppers we are writing in to deliver starlink and supplies. We are pushing back with Trump teams as well to help us, but not looking good. We need help to get the word out about FEMA. We spoke with Ivanka and handed out starlink's with her yesterday, but FEMA then

showed up and started blocking us continuing. The largest concern for us here FAA throttling flights for our choppers where they are requiring two from Information Mission now to deliver a discrete code. Doing this takes a long time, cumbersome to the ops. This is the largest concern and most help we could use. They showed video Elon Musk posting they just took this video a few hours ago. You can see the level of devastation. Rhodes houses, electricity, water supply,

ground internet connections completely destroyed. FEMA wouldn't let them lay in to deliver critical supplies. My blood is boiling. This is our government that's sending money to Ukraine, sending money to Lebanon, wasting money helping provide shelter to the tune of nearly one billion dollars to people illegally entering our country, and then have the gall to say we're almost out of money. What are you talking about? Almost out of money.

This is what you must hold this administration accountable for. And we have another storm coming to Florida. Here's the good news. Florida handles its expenses properly. We have a constitutional amendment, we have billions in reserve, we pay down our debt. Our debt's minimal. And so if something happens and FEMA says, oh sorry, the state of Florida has the reserves to step in and help because we have a governor and a legislature that actually follows the constitution,

that actually provide for its citizens. So I don't want this storm to come and hit an area that's already been ravaged by flooding, but it likely will. And you can thank Jesus you're living in Florida versus in states that are not prepared and do not have the resources to take up the ball when the federal government refuses to be part of the solution. Forty minutes past the hour, come back doctor Joe Camp standing by Healthy expectations. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott, this is our

walk up music. Doctor Joe Camps joins us with healthy expectations.

And then Key Truer, which you've probably seen on the TV as an immuno therapeutic agent, has been shown along with chemotherapy to eradicate more aggressive best cancers. And so I thought i'd better talk about this during this month or I might get ridicued by some. But certainly the risk factors for this, much like most things that we talk about again obesity, routine exercise, plant based eyes, limit alcohol used, quit smoking, and this seems to be some

of the precursors. And of all the things that I read, the more I'm just intrigued by the idea that obesity any and of itself can contribute to so many issues. And you know, when I think back over the last several years that we've been talking about these subjects press and that still has not gone away, and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse. But obviously women need to be have a self awareness to this. Get the routine

physical exams. If you're schedule for mimography, that would certainly be important. And so just if you have not been following these guidelines and routine physical exams, maybe this is a reminder that breast cancer is still prevalent, but they

are key therapeutic interventions for it. And the number one thing is aware that you have the issue is something that our women are to be advised of and truly understand that this is still a continued problem either though, even though we have great treatments that are available today and certainly people dying from breast cancer seems to be diminishing. It's an issue that we still have to be faced with.

managed to keep the weight that I lost off. I've still got more lose, but I've done a pretty good job keeping the weight off that I lost. And So, for whatever it's worth, forty six minutes past the hour time for our Sons of Thunder segment of the program where we talked about being actual Christians. Novel idea and I'm gonna borrow from Edwin Lewis Cole. Some of you know the name, and some of you're gonna just be smiling right now because you're like, oh, man, I haven't

heard doctor Cole's name in them forever. He was one of the first that I've ever encountered that really address the topic of being a man and what it means to be a godly man, a man of God. And he taught on something that I called the Exodus principle. And it kind of goes like this, it borrows from the Old Testament. Because I'm a firm believer in this idea that Old Testament history establishes New Testament principles. Spiritual principles.

And if you look at the Exodus and you go up sixty thousand feet and just kind of look at it broadly. In the macro, you find a group of people complaining their slaves to Egypt. They're sick and tired of this, and God says, Moses, get this done. Here's the message. And so Moses delivered some messages to Pharaoh from God, and finally Pharaoh really Israelites are released. They make their way. They were supposed to be headed to the Promised Land, the land that God wanted them to acquire.

Along the way, they started to forget the miracles that God performed to get them released, and started murmuring and complaining and wishing they could go back, and many died, including Moses, in the wilderness. Moses didn't ever see the Promised Land. Joshua, Caleb and their descendants saw the Promised Land because they believed God's promises. Here's the principle. You can live leave sin and bondage and bad choices. You

can be free of all of that stuff. But if you don't challenge yourself to God's best, you'll find yourself in your own desert, and you'll find yourself going. You know, it was actually a little easier back then, back when I was doing X, Y and Z. It's because you've never committed. So here's how you boil it down. Being delivered from fill in the blank does not necessarily mean

you get delivered too. Being delivered from bad choices, bad sin, addictions doesn't mean you're going to be delivered to a blessed, healthy, whole life unless you commit to that. But here's the beauty of the principle. If you say I'm going for what God has for me, You'll be delivered from all of your sins, all of your shortcomings, all of those things. Delivered to always delivers you from. But being delivered from does not always deliver you to. Does that make sense?

If you say I am gonna live God's best what he has for me, I'm committing all in. I'm going all in, You're gonna be delivered from all of that stuff because the process of going to delivers you from. But if you just say I just want to be from this, I want to get out of this, but you don't ever say I want that, I want God's best in my life, You'll find yourself because you're human. Going oo Yeah, boy, wasn't it easier back then? And so the Exodus principle is commit to God's best in

your life. Don't settle for a good marriage, have an awesome marriage, a great marriage. Don't settle for stopping doing whatever it is that's short circuiting your life. Press towards what God has for you. Dare to believe what God has for you because He wants to bless you. As we've been talking about in our church services. God is a generous, kind, loving God. So there's your your challenge. That's That's how we'll leave it for this week. Don't

call yourself a Christian unless you act like it. Back with our three believe it or not. We're in the third hour already the Morning Show with Preston Scott Show fifty two forty eight and it's Monday, which means it's time to talk a little FSU football and joining me is managing editor of war chant dot com right now is earning combat pay for every game he covers of Florida State football. He won the only Irish offel Ira. Was it any easier on the eye?

were supposed to be well. I mean, he told the quarterback club before the season started, this was the most talented, best team he's ever had, So, yeah, what's happened?

a lot of cases based on metrics. You know, they do have you know, they keep records of what guys lift in the weight room, what guys, how fast guys run on their GPS monitors and all that. So I do believe him when he says that, but I don't know that they ever said best football team. And if

he did, he obviously was terribly mistaken. But because I do think they have some big dudes that look good, but they're you know, they just they're not good football players for the most part, and I think it's kind of spiraled on them. I think some guys that you know, you had so many new guys stepping in to new roles and then you have these transfers coming in, and you know, nobody has lived up to I would say nobody, probably almost nobody has lived up to what they thought

they could be. And I think as you start losing, it's harder and harder for other guys to perform at a high level. Just like anything in any workplace. When things are going well, a lot of people can perform well, and when things are going poorly, some people don't. They have a hard time even doing their job. And so I think you're seeing some of that.

looking at it, I'll use just one thing. And I'm not meaning to pick on the kid because he's a kid, But you got a fifty year senior center snapping the ball over the head of your quarterback and costing opportunities repeatedly. I mean, where does that Where does that responsibility lie?

the big problems last year at guard. Well, then they went out and got three potential guards, one from Alabama, one from Florida, and one from Harvard. And the one who played pretty well of the three was Richie Leonard and then he got hurt, so he wasn't available this week. And the other ones have not played any better either. And now, like you said, Maurice Smith is not playing up to what you expected. And I asked, you know,

Mike Norvell and Alex Akins about this last week. You know, if you've got an offense that's really struggling and you have a lot of new pieces, the one thing you thought you could really hang your hat on was that offensive line that they have not played well, and so that's really caused everything to spiral. You know, if that group was what they thought it was. I think the offense would have a chance, but it's been bad. It's

been bad really all season. They've not been physical. They sometimes they don't look like they know what they're doing. In certain cases, there are pressures that come where nobody's blocked at all. That group has been the biggest failure to me on offense, and because of that, you know, everybody else hasn't had a chance to do what they

can do. But you know, look, Mike Norvel was excited about this team, but I also wonder if he was enamored by some of the speed numbers and strike numbers and really not seeing, okay, how many these guys actually are good football players?

too true freshmen available. So I don't know if they encourage him to be more careful and then maybe he kind of went overboard with that or if he you know, just that's how he's he saw it. But yeah, he needs to keep it some. That's one of the big things he really brings to this offense is he can run. And it was weird that he only did a couple of times.

have to go catch the ball. And that's why I was so excited to see Landon Thomas play Amari Williams who got the touchdown pass the freshman tight end who had to drop last week. But in general, he has made some outstanding catches and that catch he made for the touchdown, you know, none of the other tight ends are making that cat other than him and maybe Landon Thomas.

And then I really liked, uh, you know, Lwayne McCoy, who hasn't got out there much, he's starting to get out there more, freshman receiver McKai Dansey from here in Tallahassee. They've got some really talented young players. And that's the one thing I'm very excited about is that those guys are going to start getting to play because I think they're better players than a lot of the older guys that have been playing.

he's the guy on offense. Like if if he had an offensive coordinator that really ran the offense and he just oversaw it, then he could let that person kind of take that. But he is the game planner, he is the play caller, and so I think that's getting affected by all of his other concerns.

on the quarterback front. DJ's eventually going to get healthy or is he? Uh? And then you got Brock Glenn and then the question becomes if you say he's your start of the rest of the way, then does Luke end up transferring out Luke Cromanhak.

the fan base before. I mean, that would be hard to even comprehend. So my guess is you're looking at Brock the rest of the way. But I do think Luke Kromanhawk. We had heard that Norvel wanted to try to get lu Kremenowk in this past game, and then he even admitted that in the postgame press conference. He said he kind of wanted to, but the game never

really allowed him to do that. I think if the game had gotten away, I think he might have done that, but it really they were still within US two scores, yep, till late in the fourth quarter. But I think I think you might see Luke Creumenhawk get some action here as well. But that's gonna be the dance, you know, Brock Lenn shows promise. I think the great thing about brock len showing some promise is it gives you It

gives you, guys reason for hope. It's something to sell the recruits that hey this you know, it didn't work out with DJ, but we have a bright future. But I do think that the challenge there is going to be not annoying brock lenn so much that Luke Krumenhawk feels like, Okay, this is going to be the starter. And he's essentially in my class. He's a red shirt freshman and I'm a true freshman. So they're going to have to battle that a little bit.

or or complete busts and coverage. That's the thing that I think is frustrating, and really the most one of the most suppressing plays I thought defensively was when you cut it to ten points. You know, in the fourth quarter, the very first play, you let a running back run right up the middle for you know, sixty seventy yards just because your linebacker's got out of position. And so that's been something that's been We've been seeing that every single game of the season. So that part of it

is frustrating. It's just that part hasn't gotten better. I don't think they've quit SMU of the second half it felt like that, but but they're just not very good.

and some of the other projects. And yeah, people are not happy because now they're concerned that you signed a head coach to an eight year, sixty seventy million dollar contract and he may not be the guy. So there's a lot of noise in the system. Is Nick Ronzick once once said, And that's going to be up for Michael Alford and the administration to kind of try to

settle that. But yeah, there's a lot of frustration. And the key is they have to start turning around quickly because you know, people can start pulling some of their investments. We're deciding to not renew tickets or things like that. So it's it's a it's a difficult time for the administration. To have a football team. That's just bad.

Charleston Southern, maybe to be competitive with Florida. So I'm gonna take you over right now, but I wouldn't put a lot of money out of it.

the administration under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. People are suffering, people are not being rescued, people are being in fact, efforts are being hindered by the federal government, not helped. The federal government should be saying whatever we need to wave to make it possible for help to come, or waving those things, but they're not. They're doing the opposite. They're making it more difficult. They're putting up roadblocks and obstacles.

And there is a calculus out there by the mainstream media on the left that says this is going to benefit these floods in North Carolina and in Georgia, benefit Kamala Harris. They're excited about it. They're actually rooting for these impacts to be worse. You might say to yourself, well, this audusts clinch it. No no, no, no, no no. You don't understand the makeup of the electorate in North Carolina, the illiberal, elitist university hub around Charlotte, the Tobacco Road area.

Of the universities that are in the region all clustered together at Wake Forest and and Duke in North Carolina and North Carolina State. These are all unaffected by this storm. The areas that counterbalance all of the liberal areas strongholds there are the ones underwater that were flooded and destroyed. So there's an idea growing that hmm, maybe this rather reluctant effort to rescue and help is because we're so close to an election. That's a headline basically from Politico

Trump strongholds, this could affect the outcome. That's them, not me. We've got Milton forming in the Western Gulf and it's going to head east. That's weird. I mean, it's weather. Weather's weird. But what's turned into a story that a lot of people are asking me for links about. I'm

gonna send a link. But the National Weather Service Tallahassee has issued a post tropical cyclone report on Helene and the highest gusts recorded land gusts Perry Airport eighty six miles an hour, Mayo eighty miles an hour sustained forty eight at Perry Foley Airport forty seven and Mayo. The highest is Tower six at fifty five miles an hour in AUGUSTUS seventy eight. I was getting hammered by some of you. Per see I was a Category three or

four storm. Well, the National Weather Service says in its summary that it was a cat for storm, but in its data it's it's not even close. Was it a storm, yes, it was. Was there flooding, Absolutely, it was a significant rain event, water event. There was storm surge, but not necessarily due to wind. It was due to the pressure of the storm. Think what happens if you push down ice into a glass of water, Not just the ice you push that pressure is the pressure of that storm

and it displaces and that causes storm surge. So it's not just a wind driven phenomenon. It is a pressure and wind driven phenomenon where there winds to knock down trees. Absolutely, where their gusts. Absolutely, but the highest gust was eighty six. Now this is just this is the area where we are and to our east where this storm hid. It's

not exhaustive, but it buttresses the point. Even in their events summary, this was a Category four storm, but you don't have any data that even suggests it was barely a category two. It matters, and sadly, when a big storm comes, there will be people that'll go, eh, whatever they say, and we'll ignore them, and then we'll have a bad storm. And yeah, that's why it matters. Forty minutes past the.

Both of those podcasts I think are worth subscribing to because you can listen to this show whenever you want, wherever you want, whatever's convenient for you. You miss something, you want to hear something again, it's all there. And then additionally, the conversations we pull conversations from the show and we post them on the Conversations podcast, and at times you'll see or sorry, you'll hear a more extended conversation because,

for example, I interviewed a guy last week. I edited it down for the radio, but the unedited long version is on the Conversations podcast. So there's a lot of reasons to check it out. But one of the things that you need to remember no matter where you live in the country is elections matter. It doesn't matter what the election is, if it's on the ballot, it matters. And the Chicago, the entire listen to this this ship.

The entire Chicago Board of Education announced their resignations, resisting pressure from the Democrat mayor of Chicago to fire the public schools CEO during negotiations with the teachers' union. The mayor, Brandon Johnson, wants the school board to get rid of the CEO for the schools. They won't, so they're sick of it. They quit. This is the dysfunction that comes with Democrats because it's about power and control. You would think Chicago would wake up. You've been running with Democrats

for decades. You have a crime problem, notably, you have a black on black crime problem. You can't say that Barack Obama, that's his adopted hometown. He doesn't go to Chicago. He doesn't. He hardly visits, let alone when he was president, you'd think over eight years, with Chicago being one of the major hubs for black on black murders in America, you'd think, you're your president who is half black, would

show up because he could actually move the needle. He could actually he would hold a different kind of clout to step up and say, for example, to the churches in the community, do your job, get out there, Say to parents, what are you doing letting your kids out? You got middle schoolers out at at eleven, twelve, one, two, three in the morning. What are you doing? But it's it's taboo. You can't talk about that. So it's up to people like me and others like me to mention

the obvious. When you leave a community, and I can point to them all across the country run by Democrats, I don't even have to look it up. Sometimes I can see this a little small town. I can read the story, what the symptoms are, and I can say, I'll bet you all of the elected city commissioners, mayor etc. Are all democrats. Boom, look it up. Yep, there they are. How long has this been the case? Forty years? Yep, there you go. If not longer, elections have consequences, it matters.

November fifth, friends, there's a lot on your shoulders, a lot of weight in that little pen. You're gonna mark your ballot with forty six forty seven minutes past the hour, come back and and give you an update on some thank you cards, all right in the program. On a slightly lighter note, we have reposted the story on the Mad Radio Network's latest project for Good, asking you if you want to take part we have We've got a stack of envelopes that are going out today and they'll

have twenty cards in each one. And so if you'd like twenty cards. These are cards to give out when you receive exceptional customers service. Not huh it was good. No, no, no, no no. You have to accept that the bar has been lowered dramatically over recent years. And so what you think is okay now really isn't. You're just grateful to have somebody breathing,

bringing you water and not dumping food on your lap. Right, You're you're thankful someone showed up to work, and so you just like you tread care no when you get exceptional customer service, whether it's at a restaurant, doctor's office, bank, wherever you encounter somebody checking out, you have one of these cards in your wallet or your purse, and and you give it to the right person, because we're gonna we're gonna encourage a thousand people with these things, and

and probably a figure maybe four to five times that, because they'll share it and they'll show it and perhaps they'll give it out to somebody as well. I think I'm gonna cry because the air conditioning is now working in my studio. I I if I have tears in my eyes, it's because I have air circulating in my in my studio for the first time in a couple of days. And I'm I'm gratefully just I'm I'm thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. Uh so there you go, they see, there you go. So that's what you do.

Go to the blog page. You'll get the address, send me a self addressed stamped envelope, and you are good to go. Brought to you by Barno Heating and Air. It's the morning show on WFLA. Yeah, we got another storm coming. We started the program. It wasn't it wasn't my best work, but we started the program with Psalm sixty three to one. That was you know, God did his part, great verse, but I didn't do my best. Much better job with the Sons of Thunder devotional later

in the program, Big story in the press box. We have another storm out there. You're we're gonna if you're in the path of this thing. You already got a bunch of rain a couple weeks ago. This is not gonna help right now. Projected landfall is south of Tampa, in the Sarasota area. I don't know how big it's gonna be, but it doesn't matter. It's gonna be a significant rain event. And that in and of itself. You know, if it were me, i'd be knowing the way the

area flooded last time. I'm heading north. I'm I'm getting away, and I'm going where my car is not gonna get flooded. That's where I'm going. Wherever that is, That's where I'm going. Talked about the just the painful and shameful response to the rainfall that fell in North Carolina. In particular, North Carolina shared the post cyclone report about Helene and yours truly has been pretty much validated. I'm not gonna they vindicated.

I don't feel like I needed to be. I knew what I was saying, but now I know when I was saying thank you to the National Weather Service. It's funny though their summary report doesn't match the data that's in the report. In't that interesting, It's not even close. Red waves sixty three of sixty seven Pennsylvania counties have shifted Republicans since twenty twenty. Talked about some other stuff as well. Tomorrow Justin Haskins will have a manly minute

some money talk. Cannot wait, counting down the hours, only twenty one friends will be back with you have yourself a terrific day.
