Well, your reports start for much seven past the hour.
It is Monday, the day before the earth will stand still. Okay, a little melodramatic there, I guess.
Welcome.
It's November the fourth on the Morning show, and it's great to be with you. Show fifty two sixty eight. He's Jose, I'm Preston. He is not dressed as a templar night. I'm grateful for that. He was. He was actually practicing, and what I thought was a video of him just being a goofball was actually him on one of my son's phones.
Yeah, and I was.
Advised it was probably a bad idea to surprise you dress as a templar night. Oh, fatally, it was a bad idea at all. I think it would been great.
Oh well, there you go. I'll know for next time.
Well, no, it just it makes for a nice target. Never mind, Yeah no, he uh yeah, legit. I mean do you do you assemble these costumes?
No? I went to the Spirit store. They were closing down.
Yes, sorry, so everything was yeah, forgot to go, and so you bought on sale.
Yep, butter on two half off? Who's and he came with the sword? No, No, I had to get the sword separately. Sword sold separately.
It sounds like a toy commercial action fingers cars sold separately. Anyway, Uh, yeah, there we go today. Today is today's the day before. And so I held this because last week we ended with just a great praise song to start the show. Ancient Gates. Brooke lingerfelt maybe it is. And she was with Hillsong for a number of years and now kind of doing her own thing, and very talented young lady. And I started the show with Psalm one forty six, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, I
will praise the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Verse three. Here's where we're going today. Tell me if this is apropos, put not your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth on that very day his plans perish. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord of his God. Will pause there. We have
to vote tomorrow. To not vote is an insult to God and him placing you in this country where you have a god given right. As being born and or having been a naturalized citizen in this country, you have a god given right to have a say. Failing to do so is a slap in the face to God. Your vote matters.
But what if they're gonna cheat.
They're not going to cheat in Florida. And if they cheat, your vote still matters. And I absolutely believe cheating is underway. But it doesn't matter. If just Christians got out and voted, it wouldn't at her at all. It'd be a landslide if you voted intelligently. So this scripture reminds us we're voting for a fallen person, a human being. We're not voting for a Jesus to take the throne. He's not on the ballot. Not gonna be eleven past the hour,
this date and history next. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Twelve past the hour.
November fourth, eighteen eighty four, Democrat Grover Cleveland narrowly defeats Republican James Blaine presidential contest full of mudslinging.
How much has changed right?
Nineteen twenty four, Nellie t Ross of Wyoming becomes the first woman to be elected a governor. How radical was that? Back in nineteen twenty four. Nineteen thirty nine in Detroit, this is so fascinating to me. The Packard Motor Company for the first time debuted a car at an exhibit with air conditioning nineteen thirty nine homes. Most homes didn't have air conditioning. Imagine now what that would have been like.
Crazy.
Nineteen fifty two, computer called Univac successfully predicts that Dwight D. Eisenhower will defeat Adlie Stevenson for president in a landslide. It was the beginning of the end a computer making predictions for US. My nineteen seventy nine in Tehran, Ranian militants seize the US embassy in sixty six American hostages. If you have have you ever seen the movie Argo, No, you and your boys need to get that and you need to watch it. I'm writing down right meow Argo, brother right meow o.
Who you caught it? Sadly? Argo?
Argo is a true story. It has some rough language, just gonna warn you on the front end, but it is absolutely tolerable because of the story it tells. This was when Canadians were decent and honorable people and I say Canadians meaning the government, because the Canadian government is trash, now, not all of it, just large parts of it, sort of like the American government is, only they're totally socialist.
We're just heading there. But I digress. The hostage crisis and the story of getting some Americans out of Tehran by using a phony movie they created using intelligence off at one in particular, they created a faux plan to make a movie in Iran and they ended up getting some of the Americans out through the Canadian embassy. It's incredible, true story, brilliant story. Got to see that movie if you've not seen it. Nineteen eighty Ronald Reagan defeats Jimmy
Carter to become the fortieth president. And in two thousand and eight, now this is where the history book gets this one wrong, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois becomes the first African American to be elected president. He becomes the first half African American to become president. He's not but half. That just is what it is. People just seem to forget that. Sixteen past the hour, it's who he is. I don't care either way. Oh it looks like a movie.
It's got to be seen. Bon Hoffer just took a look at a video clip from the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. You don't know the story, h If you don't know the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, learning about his life and his serving of Christ will probably make you feel as it as it did me when I learned of his story. Shane, this is this is a martyr for the for the Christian faith, right up there with the with the Disciples of Christ. What an incredible life. And the fact that
it's it's a movie that you can see. I'm not sure when it's let's see when's it coming out here? Thanksgiving? Coming out at Thanksgiving? Perfect stood up against Hitler And oh my goodness, what a powerful story. Who anyway, another little thing of history here Morgan Library and Museum in New York City, in its collection.
It's funny how a place that is like a vault for.
All things can find things in its own catalogs, in its own own storage that it's never seen before. About two hundred years after the death of Frederick Chopin, the Polish pianist and composer, they have found a four x five manuscript, an original work that no one's ever seen before, no one's ever heard. It is thought to be originally
intended as a gift. He didn't sign it, but it's clearly Chopin, and it has markings on it that has performance marks for someone playing the piano, fingerings, dynamics, so he intended on this being performed.
I'm looking at it. I'm thinking of.
A four x five index card, and that's what this is on the score is there. I'm looking at a photo of it. It's incredible. The beginning of the piece is most remarkable.
Several moody dissonant measures culminate in a loud outburst.
Before a melancholy melody begins. None of his known waltz's start this way, making this even more intriguing. I can't imagine what it would be like to be someone like Marvin Goldstein. I'll bet you if I blew this thing up, Marvin could play it. Marvin, you're listening, I know you are. Look this thing up. The entire thing is right here in a photo. You can see it. Play it and send me the recording. Email me the recording, and we will let people hear a unheard work of Frederick Chopin
on this program, as played by Barbara Goldstein. Would that be awesome? Yeah, I'm gonna hold this story, first new discovered work by Chopin since the nineteen thirties. He's been dead almost two hundred years, so it's been almost one hundred years since anybody found anything. Yeah, we're gonna absolutely get this done. Twenty seven past the hour, big stories in the press box. And yeah, it's the day before the election, now, isn't it?
The Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Half hour from now, Florida Governor Round des Santis will join me live. We'll talk about the election. I want to get his confidence level one to ten. What's yours. I'll ask you tomorrow what your confidence level is. I would imagine there's going to be a variety of answers. Yeah, tomorrow is going to be a lot of you. You hear a lot of me. I want to hear a
lot of you tomorrow before or after your vote. Whatever kind of a just sort of it's not I won't even dare to say it's a straw pole, because I know this audience most of you are going to vote for Trump, and you should. Those of you who aren't, you should this This is the easiest choice in the in a presidential election in my lifetime. This is easier than Trump and Biden. Only now we have four years of Biden Harrison seeing what we get, there's not one.
The only words coming out of my mouth about the last four years is I told you and anyone out there that thinks that Kamala Harris is going to somehow be different than Joe Biden. Oh yeah, worse. That's how she'll be different. She'll be worse anyway. Before we get to all that, there is the likelihood of a name storm, perhaps somewhere in the Gulf. It's not likely going to be an issue for us, but it's just something to
keep an eye on. What did jump out at me about this story is first sub headline not affect, not expected to affect the election, Thanks for that. It's the elections tomorrow. So how would a storm that's going to form late in the week effect anyway? But here's the thing I wanted to point out. If we have one in advance of the al Gore alights out there, would it be Gore Alites or Gore Kalites Gore anyway? Do you realize how unprecedented this is? We don't have storms
this late. Well, hurricane season runs to December first number two. Yeah, you're right, it doesn't. It's a rare. Oh yeah, we haven't had one since two thousand and eight, nineteen ninety six, nineteen eighty, nineteen sixty four, nineteen forty eight, nineteen twenty four, nineteen sixteen, nineteen twelve, did you see that? Nineteen twelve, nineteen sixteen, four years apart, eight years after that, and then it's about every twenty years or so, give or take.
And it's been two thousand and eight. So yeah, okay, right on, now we begin, and I need to take a minute here. I don't have a lot of big story in the press box time today, so I'm gonna take a little minute, a little time in this half hour. Did you see we're NBC and they're not very funny very often. Show Saturday Night Live used to be hilarious, not so much in the last thirty years. Occasionally there's a laugh, but I don't watch it. I just that's
what you tell me. Kamala Harris made an unexpected appearance first Horse Crap. Just because they didn't promote Kamala being on it doesn't mean that was unexpected. In case you don't know when the Vice resident of the United States shows up anywhere, it's not unexpected because the Secret Service has to do advance work. There's nothing unexpected. So pack that one up and take it away, because that's a lie. Secondly, NBC has filed an equal time notice, meaning they know
they broke the law. They gave her one minute and thirty seconds of time that they now owe Donald Trump. But here's the problem, it's too late. They can't put Trump on Saturday Night Live before the election. This was an intentional effort. And oh, by the way, this is the swing of a two strike count and someone guessing fast ball and it's a curveball. This is a move of desperation. Their internal polling has to be telling them
something because they have risked a major problem. NBC has risked its own I mean, do I think they're gonna put NBC and slap them with a massive fine.
Probably not.
But even if they do so, what if it helps win Kamala Harris the White House?
What do they care? Kamal will make it go away.
This is the last minute electioneering crap that that's going on across the country. I want to explain the importance of it. I'll get to it next forty minutes past the hour Monday on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Don't leave me.
This is important for you to know.
Thanks for joining us. It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point SEVENFLA or on news Radiobusla Panamacity dot com.
Here's the importance of that Saturday night live appearance. It's called product placement. In the world of advertising, a thirty second Coca Cola commercial pales by comparison to a TV sitcom or show or a movie where someone's drinking a Coca cola.
It's called product placement.
When you can get an identifiable product in a movie or in a show, or in a setting where it's used by people in real life as they perceive it, it's worth gold. That's why in professional sports it's sponsored by you have jerseys made by Under Army Armor, Nike, Adidas. It's why you have Power Aid or Gatorade on the sidelines or you have it on the chairs. You have these symbols because it's product placement and it carries more.
Weight.
There's Kamalan Saturday Night Live product placement. What NBC did, first of all, tells you all you need to know about NBC News and its integrity as it relates to this election. This was intentional. They know the law. See, I'm not bound by equal time laws because I have a talk news information program. I decide based on what I think is interesting, what I think you're interested in, what I want to talk about. I determine whoever my
guests are going to be. If an election season happens and I want to there are two candidates and I want to interview one of them forty times, I can do that, that's up to me. This is not a news program. They are bound by law to provide equal time. They knew they couldn't do it. They know there's likely a sanction of some kind, some kind of fine or whatever, so they're rolling the dice. Hopefully you don't reward them
for it in any way, shape or form. Headlines Pentagon fails to send absentee ballots to active military service members, violation of the law Pentagon. Who's in charge to the Pentagon? Lloyd Austin? Who's he Secretary of Defense?
Under?
Who?
Joe Biden?
Supreme Court rejects GOP challenge in Pennsylvania provisional ballot case. Supreme Court ruled great in Virginia. They're wrong here. They're totally wrong here. Sam Alito said, Well, he wrote the refusal along with Neil Gorsich and Claris Thomas, saying, even if they agreed with the arguments, we could not prevent the consequences they fear.
They can't.
It's against the law. See, this is the problem. Pennsylvania is violating its own state laws. They're allowing the justices of the Supreme Court to be activists and to in effect, what's the point of having a legislature the Supreme Court's determining voting law in Pennsylvania. Field plus Media Corp. You ever heard of it? They have been caught in Monroe and York County, Pennsylvania thousands of last minute voter registration
forms that were irregular. The Attorney General's Office described it as The District Attorney's Office sorry described it as fraudulent as they were not authorized by the persons named as applicants. Field plus Media Corps has been caught now submitting fake registration forms in Pennsylvania. They have had the same issue in other states. They're based in Arizona, and so they're just these are the ones that we're catching.
What do you think we're not?
In Wisconsin, Complaints been filed with the Washington Elections Commissions, citing evidence videotape and witness evidence of ballot harvesting. One witness saw and videotaped an individual stuffing at least five hundred ballots in an unguarded ballot box, then took off off when they realized they were being recorded. We're scratching the surface. The effort to steal is being documented. It's underway. And if you want to stop this, the only way to send a message is to get out and vote,
and in my opinion, vote Trump. It's that simple. Forty seven past the hour, more to come tomorrow's election day.
So the end is coming soon, you know.
My commentary that you'll hear over the next few days goes back to twenty twenty and December when Text Attorney General Keim Paxton filed a lawsuit attacking four states. Top of my list they are Michigan, top of my mind, Rather Michigan and Pennsylvania and maybe Arizona, Georgia. I don't know, Wisconsin perhaps was in there. It's four states, but you
may remember I was just livid. The Supreme Court said they don't have standing, meaning they've not been impacted, they don't have a reason to And Ken Paxton's complaint was that they didn't follow their own state laws for the election.
And that's a fact. You know, if you want to quibble about ballots crossing state lines, not counting ballots properly, pausing in almost a synchronized method across multiple states, sort of determining how many votes were needed, and then oh magically, Joe Biden gets forty seven thousand more votes out of the blue and wins these states by the razor thinnest of margins. Whatever, even if you want to discount all that, here's what you can discount. States broke their own election laws.
That happened. Any of you Democrats out there that are like ay sour grapes, it's rearview mirror. It's never no, no, no, it happened. The flawed logic of the United States Supreme Court is this, what happened in these states impacted not just all other states, it impacted all of you. See, we fall into this trap of allowing ourselves to become sort of well, a voting block. Voting blocks are made up of individual pieces, and those pieces are people and
those people are you tell me? Were you impacted by the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
Yes? Or no?
Were you impacted with higher prices, COVID restrictions, the invasion of our southern border, destruction of our energy sector? Over regulation? I mean, and I'm just grabbing things out of my brain.
Crap.
Yes, you had standing. Every state had standing that these other states are not following their own laws. The United States Supreme Court just blankly was wrong. They're wrong, and they're wrong in one of the stories we just mentioned that state doesn't have standing.
Of course we do. We still do.
It matters Liz Cheney out there and urging George Bush, George W. I can't explain why George W. Bush hasn't spoken out, but I think it's time. I wish you would. George W. Bush is a rhino at best, like the guy, but he's a rhino at best, and it wouldn't move the needle one bit.
Back with the governor at Florida.
All right, it's the day before, yeah, November fourth, Monday, on The Morning Show with Preston Scott and Preston He's Osey. It is Show five thousand, two hundred and sixty eight. Great to be with you this morning. Thrilled to have time with you. As always, we appreciate you joining us and we are always thrilled to have with us. Florida Governor around a SANTUS governor. Not only how are you, but how's the first lady? How are the first kiddos?
Well, I'll tell you the first Lady's excellent. The kids overall are doing outstanding. But you know, they're all die hard Florida State fans and this has been a very rough season for them, especially my first grader, my son Mason, he is probably the biggest fan there is. I mean we were when they played SMU. You know, remember that was a Saturday night game. You had Alabama Georgia, which was the biggest game in the country, and he would not let us turn the TV off s SMU fsue
even when they were losing big. And so it's been rough. We are going to Notre I'd plan to go to the Notre Dame. So we're going to Notre Dame next weekend. I'm going to give a lecture on campus and do something. I've never been to a football game at Notre Dame, but when I committed to do that, I was thinking this would be like with a playoff berth on the line, so so so that part of it. He's especially my son, a little little rough sledding on the football.
Yeah, sach cloth and ashes around here as well. I know I know how he feels. We all share that. I'm curious. We're a day out on a on a scale of one to ten, with ten being completely confident. Nationally speaking, we know Florida's going to hold a good election and a fair election. What's your confidence level one to ten nationally?
Well, Florida's ten out of ten. You will get a very transparent election. You can track the votes as they're coming in, not the results yet, but who's voting. You'll be able to do that all throughout tomorrow. As soon as the polls close, we'll know how many people voted. The count will continue to proceed, and the results will be published. That's the way it's supposed to be. How is it going to be in some of these states further north? I don't have the same level of confidence.
I think They take the position that you just count for days and that somehow is okay. Well, what ends up happening is you have one candidate maybe leading on election night, they just keep counting the next day, and then what Thursday afternoon, a new candidate takes the lead. It does not inspire confidence. So unfortunately, I think you
are going to see some of these states lag. I don't think we're going to get those states, those some of those key key states called on election night, like you will in Florida.
When it comes to Florida's ballot measures, We've got some constitutional amendments and two of them are really significantly important as it relates to their impact on the state. Let's start with Amendment three. Your thoughts on the marijuana amendment.
First, just this is a constitutional amendment. You can't undring this bell. You are taking this issue away from future generations of Floridians to decide through the normal electoral process. You can't change it once it's in the constitution. So if they say you're already hearing people say, oh yeah, Amendment three slat, but the legislature will fix it. You
can't fix a constitutional amendment by normal legislation. So what I tell people is the default on these amendments should be no. They, the people proposing this, have a burden to prove to you beyond any doubt that this is going to be good for Florida. If they don't have that burden, the safe vote is no. Now Amendment three. It's important to say, how did it get on your ballot? Got on your ballot because one megaweed company CEO wrote it and they've now put over one hundred and forty
million dollars into passing it. It is written to benefit them and their other you know, kind of monopolists that they have a handful of these mega companies. So, for example, you'll have the right to possess and smoke marijuana, but only if you buy it from them. They do not give you the right to grow your own. They also don't provide any prohibitions on public use of marijuana. And in fact, the way it's written, I think it would be impossible to cabin that. Talk to people in Denver,
talk to people in Manhattan. This has permeated those societies that would happen in Florida tenfold. And here's the thing. Sometimes they'll say it's about freedom, Well, if it was about freedom, they would have put that you could grow your own. But I also am concerned about the freedom of Floridians who don't want to be involved in marijuana, because I think a lot of people are like, you know, what you're doing in your house, like, you know, we
don't really care. But if you're out on the street, you know, in a park somewhere, walking down downtown, should should this be something that infringes on you? And that will absolutely happen. But probably the most galling thing about Amendment three, and you don't get this from just reading the ballot. You actually have to go online read the text of the amendment because the text is what will be in the Constitution, not the ballot summary that was written by by the company. They do it in a
way to make it seem innocuous. They give themselves total immunity from civil liability, and so if they sell you defective weed, you're not going to be able to assue them. You're talking about negligence, product liability, all these things. I've never seen that done period. And so just understand where this come from. This is one company looking to guarantee a stream of revenue for itself. On the backs of Floridians, and they're willing to ensconce themselves on our constitution to
do it. There's a lot of it. I mean, if you're opposed to marijuana, obviously you vote no. If you're indifferent about marijuana, you vote no on this because it's a horribly written amendment. But even if you're someone that's a marijuana enthusiast, why would you reward a big weed cartel. This is the opposite of what you should be doing. So my recommendation is that this is an easy no. It does not belong in Florida's constitution. And that's true whether you love marijuana or hate marijuana.
Florida Governor Round de Santas with us for just a few more minutes. Governor stand by. We're gonna come back talk about Amendment four next here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Monday, the day before tomorrow, a remarkably consequential day and sadly series of days because of the way the election is likely to unfold in a handful of states joining us. Florida's governor round to Santa's Governor
to Santas. I was as stunned by the decision of the State Supreme Court to place Amendment four on the ballot. I'm sixty four years old now, and this was the most stunning decision I've seen in my lifetime. What was your reaction when you learned it was going to be on the ballot.
Well, we were obviously disappointed. I mean, they don't define any of the terms, and you're putting something on the ballot that we don't even necessarily know, you know, what it's going to do. It was a four to three split, so clearly you had three justices that saw it a different way. But here's the thing again, this is a constitutional amendment. If you're not one hundred percent sure that what's in here is good, then you vote no on him.
I'd also say this this is they don't define the terms, but we know how they would go into court and seek very radical interpretations of this. And so for example, there's no definitions anywhere. That'll be a transfer of power from the people of Florida to courts for decades. They'll be hashing this stuff out. Second, there's really no limitations on when elective abortions can be performed now in Florida.
All their ads are lies about Florida law. Florida allows any necessary medical treatment life health of the mother, that there's even exceptions for rape, incess victims of human trafficking. That's mostly what their ads focus on, even though our law does not impact that. But they would allow abortions for no reason through at least six months of pregnancy. At that point a baby can feel pain, is fully formed, heartbeats, sucking.
To stumb all this stuff, but in reality, if you read beyond that, it says any quote healthcare provider can greenlight and abortion at any time if the healthcare provider thinks it's necessary for quote patients health. But they don't define patients help we do in the statute, so it's effectively no limit. So that's I think very troubling to a lot of people. And here's the thing, late term abortions in the United States, because there are states like
Colorado that have no limits at all. The way in nine months they happen, there's tens of thousands a year, and most of them are in fact elective. That's just the reality. You will then see that become a fact of life in Florida. But then this idea of healthcare provider that's very important language because people that are pro life have said a lot of people are like, look, they don't like abortion, they want it to be rare, but they think it should be a decision between the
mother and the doctor. Mother and the doctor. That's what you hear. A healthcare provider is not the same as a doctor, so you will not need to be a physician. And so I think that opens up a huge can of worms. I think it's going to be very dangerous to have these abortion clinics man by non physicians greenlighting
late term abortions. And then another important thing is it eliminates the parental consent for miners, and they do it very deceptively because they say you can do parental notification, but a notice is not the same as consent. So in Florida, they can't give your kid a tailant all at school without parental consent. But somehow they would be able a miner would be able to get a late term abortion greenlit by a non physician without the parent's consent.
That's in the constitution forever. You're never going to be able to get those rights back as a parent. And the final thing just for voters to think about because this is not a parent from the text of the amendment. But they did the same thing in Michigan. They passed something similar. They went into court and said taxpayer money is required to go to these abortions, and so they will do that here in Florida. They will try to find a liberal judge and they will see taxpayer funding
of abortions. So that very well maybe the case if this passes. So this is a really bad amendment, not good to put in a constitution. It would not be good policy if the legislature did it, because a lot of parents wouldn't want their you know, the rights rescinded. People wouldn't want to see late term abortions, all these other things. And I think the fact that they've lied so much about what Florida law does, you know, why
not just tell the truth about your amendment. This is such a great amendment, why not say what great things that's doing. They never talk about that, And now they're basically because they've been refuted a lot in Florida, so now they're talking about Ohio and all these other states that have nothing to do with Florida. So yes, this is this is an easy no. Certainly if your pro life, it's no. But even if you're not, this is definitely not the way to do it.
Yeah, it's an extremist amendment.
And you know, I just go back to what Matt stab and I'm sure you know Matt with Liberty Care. So he pointed out no law shall prohibit, and I mean it kind of just stops right there, No law shall prohibit, and then it's filling the blank from that point forward, isn't it?
Absolutely? And this is intentional the way they did this. They know what they're doing. Part of it was pull tested because they wanted to seem innocuous. And one of the things we found when it did get put on the ballot and just doing some research, they were pro life first that thought somehow this was pro life because they thought viability meant the pregnancy itself is viable, instead of it being twenty six weeks in, which is probably
the minimum they would they would want. So, yes, so this thing is going to open up a huge can of worms. It's not not the way to do business. They've lied to you to try to pass it. Fortunately, I think people have wised up to it. I think that both of these amendments of lost support, you know, over the last couple months, but this one I think in particular because I think the lies have been so brazen.
Governor, thanks for the time. As always, I appreciate you prying it out of your schedule. And after the election, when the smoke clears, I hope we have back on to talk about what we do next.
Let's do it.
Thank you, sir.
Governor Ron DeSantis with us this morning and seventeen eighteen passed the hour. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Yeah.
My thanks to Florida's Governor Rond de Santis for the time. It's the perfect format for him to be able to just talk uninterrupted and have some time. And I appreciate Jeremy. Thank you, Press secretary for the Governor and the chief of staff, thanks for making that happen. Look forward to having him back a little bit more frequently. He's terrific.
Jose and I were just talking. There's a handful of guests that I've had, and again, my number of interviews is around eight thousand, give or take, in the span of doing the show, and there's a handful of guests female that I can just tee up and turn them loose. I don't have to carry the discussion. I don't need to. I don't want to. A perfect guest for me, I ask a question and let him go and then just listen to their answers, and that guides me in my
next question. Now I knew I wanted to talk about A three and four in this segment. I knew that I wanted to get the governor an opportunity to just kind of share. And you could tell he knows his business. He's a jag guy. I mean he's he's a litigator. He knows good law, he knows bad law. These are bad laws, these are bad amendments. And so I'm grateful and I'm happy for you. You know, I get I get opportunities like this, and it's part of what I do.
I'm happy for you because you don't get these opportunities. And I don't feel the need to insert myself. I was telling osey people, you hear my opinion on this stuff all the time. There's no need for me to insert myself and take time from a guest.
So came across a.
Video lady named Annetta Catching's former chair of the Alexandra gop in Northern Virginia did an interview with CBS News. She and her friends are just hanging out at coffee shop and sharing the interview experience, and a woman's eavesdropping. I should point out that Annetta Catchings is black, and she's a Trump supporter and her friends are Trump supporters, and the white woman came unglued. She's eavesdropping now in
a conversation and starts attacking her for her views. She said, I could never vote for Kamala Harris as a conservative woman, and the lady just so, we've got a black conservative woman supporting Trump and the typical white illiberal elitis who claims to be a national I'm a national security expert. She's screaming thirty five years of experience, She's screaming this. It's all on tape. And this is the thing. Matt Vesper writes this for town Hall. This is the thing
with white liberals. They think their higher education degrees mean they have greater weight to a conversation. And that's one of the things that I try to empower you with is information, knowledge and the apologetic I may not be the best at it, but I think that if you listen to the show enough you'll understand the nuances of presenting the argument. So this woman is completely unhinged. Comments on the video. The hubrits of this white woman is
mind boggling. She decided to eavesdrop on a conversation, then felt compelled to judge and rate a black conservative woman for her beliefs. Now that is white privilege. The woman, by the way, has been outed. She outed herself.

Twenty seven past the hour, Big Stories in the press Box. Next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The.
Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA.
Thirty five minutes past the hour, Irishfell. Next hour, we'll also talk with Jeff Colhayne, Director broadcasting for FSU basketball. Regular season begins today on this very radio state. Yes, not just here in the Capital City, but in Panama City as well. FSU men's basketball will be heard on WFLA this season. Very excited about that. Nothing new in Panama City. It is new here in the Capitol City, but very excited to have FSU basketball joining us here on WFLA along with FSU baseball.
At least that's the game plan.
Big stories in the press box before we get to an expected visit with doctor Joe Camps. FCC a little concern. Brendan Carr, commissioner blasted NBC's decision. I said, MS sorry, you might mistake NBC for MSNBC though, because not long ago. In fact, I got a note here from a listener. This is fascinating. October first, neither Trump nor Harris will appear on SNL before the election. Lauren Michael said he's
only in charge of the program. But yet, somehow Kamala Harris ends up on National TV on SNL on Saturday Night Live.
Lauren Michael said, it wasn't gonna happen.
This is as overt an effort to illegally influence an election as any media outlet has ever committed to my knowledge. So you understand, equal time laws generally apply to advertising, and then they apply to general programming, not new specific programming. I don't have any obligation to follow equal time on my show.
None.
I'm I'm carved out, as are any other program like me. If the breakfast club wants to talk to Kamala Harris fifteen days out of fifteen days, that's their prerogative. It's bad form. They should be inviting other candidates. Oh, that's right, she was never a candidate. She was just installed. Never mind, but you get my point. But Saturday Night Live is not exempt. They must follow equal time. So now they filed the notice, But what good does that do. Trump
can't appear on Saturday Night Live. And oh, by the way, Trump might actually pull better than Kamala on Saturday Night Live.
Because he's kind of a funny guy.
Kamala, omg, pillow over the ears, over the face, over the eyes, smother me in my sleep. Don't make me listen to Kamala Harris. We muted our television yesterday whenever it had Nope, not here in her.
Can't do it.
This is egregious. This is one of six stories I have here, six stories dealing with irregularities in either NBC with broadcast time or actual states with voting.
Once again, for that.
One caller or that person who emailed me, who dared say that I was how dare I denigrate the the confidence of people in the electoral process.
To you.
It happened in twenty twenty. They're trying to do it again. It's a fact.
Deal with it.
Forty minutes after the hour, come back, doctor Joe standing by some healthy expectations on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
Forty one past the hour.
Let's get right to it on your busy Monday day before the election. Polls open at seven am tomorrow, Rundel seven p joining us Doctor Joe Camps with healthy expectations. Hello, sir, good morning.
How are you pressing?
I'm terrific. How are you?
You know, there have been several recalls of multiple food products in the recent weeks, and boy, you know, it's caught my attention as well as a lot of consumers and health officials, and you've obviously been aware of this. They've had some risk of food born illness is a bacteria like Kola Lasteria salmoneller which has affected the US
flute supply chain. And one of the areas that it's caught my attention has been, you know, the deli meats, the frozen waffers, the McDonald's issue readily eat poultry, issues, and certainly there's been a lot of testing in these products which have been showing traces of bacteria, and so you know, I was looking for, Okay, well, what's the take on message and what is the spend on this?
What experts are saying now that the global food chain makes a number of products more valuable i'm sorry, more vulnerable to a contamination, and the fact that we've been able to catch some of these food born illnesses early and scrape the market for thousands of pounds of products, I basically believe that it shows that there are protocols that are in place and that these are probably working for us. Now. You know, I had a friend many
years ago. He told me, he said, you know, when I go shopping at the grocery store, he says, I shopped the perimeter of the grocery store. So I started figuring out what he meant by that. And so I just try to tell my simple message, just eat real food and make sure you use proper you know, hand
washing and those types of things. But certainly, I'm sure you've seen the recalls of the products we've had, and actually I've been paying attention to it because you know, we all consume these products and hopefully none of us have been affected by it, but certainly is something that caught my attention that I just wanted to wise our radiness about how we store food, how we process food, how we deal with it, because it really is an issue that I think that certainly can't affect all of us,
and we certainly need to be sure that we pay attention to these issues. So that's my little message this morning. I've been hearing about this E Coli listeria, and actually I get a little nervous about it because sometimes I eat those products, but I always you start to think about it, and it gives me some calls for concern, although I'm not overly overwhelmed, but I'm paying attention to what's going on around me. So that's my message this morning.
Preston Joe, I don't know about you, but it seems that we all have this kind of innate sense when something just doesn't look or smell right, and I think we just need to trust that some I.
Think we need to trust it as a matter of fact, particularly if you store products in your fridge. If you just don't feel good about it, just throw it away. I think that's a great thing to do, Preston, and I do it often because I don't know if you've ever had a food born illness. But it's not fun. Don't tell you that.
Thank you, Joe.
Oh everybody, you have a good week.
Thank you, sir.
All Right, Doctor Joe camps with us some healthy expectations here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We have still to come, lill FSU Athletics next hour. If you're wondering, wait, isn't it election day tomorrow? Why aren't you What do you think we've been talking about for the last two years. We've been talking about this forever. There are other things we're going to talk about. We'll do that, including a horribly depressing FSU football season.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, Irish Chaffelle should be getting combat pay for covering because it's tough. Really it's and I now feel bad for coaching orbel There's no way he saw this coming. He has been blindsided by what's happened here.
So we'll talk.
About the aftermath of what I think was the worst loss of the season. There have been worse ones on the scoreboard. To me, there have been worse ones on the field. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about what happens moving forward. Is there any way to recover anything out of this season? Florida looked kind of good against Georgia. That doesn't spell real positive vibes for the FSU Florida finale because it will be the final year. There ain't
no postseason for FSU this year. But anyways, stay with us and when we come back, suns a thunder On the Morning Show with Preston Scott.
It's the m a D Radio Network where we challenge you to make a difference in your world.
M A D.
You get it, you know, try to make a positive influence upon others.
You know.
The Morning Show Preston Scott, it's Monday, next hour.
We'll transition a little bit and talk about some other things, just because I'll be honest with you, we just need this election over with and know what we're dealing with.
We just need to know.
One of the things I'm gonna ask you tomorrow so you can start forming your thoughts. I'm gonna ask you if you think we'll know, how long will it take for us to know what's happening in the election.
I think it's gonna take a while and tomorrow we'll find out what you think about the election on election day.
Time for sens of Thunder segment here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. This is where we challenge you that if you're gonna claim to be a Christian, act like it. If you really want to understand why we are where we are as a nation, hold up a mirror and look deeply at yourself and ask some honest questions. I'm part of the problem. You're part of the problem. We let go of the rope. We lost sight of
our moral compass and the importance of it. And so this is about geared towards men, but applied to all stepping up as a Christian. And I'm gonna go to Proverbs twenty seven seventeen, short, sweet, simple verse. Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
How do you become better? Well?
You pray, you fast on occasion, You constantly hear God's word. You don't forsake going to church as some are in the habit of doing. You spend time praising God. You let God's praises his music. You make sure that the rocks stay quiet for a little longer you have his praise continually on your lips. You dwell on things, You meditate on things that then populate your mind and your heart and your spirit and then come out of your
life as an overflow. And then you do this, you make sure somebody is in your life that can speak truth to you if you will, that can tell you, dude, you stink and you know they love you. They're speaking truth to your life. We have a habit of surrounding ourselves with people that we'll tell us what we want to hear. I found this in marital problems all the time with husbands and wives. They would gravitate to a friend, a buddy.
That will just.
Say yeah, he's a jerk, or yes, she's just ridiculous, and not say, well, you know you are kind of difficult sometimes I love you. But you need some people that'll say, but but you're my friend, But I love you. But you need those people in your life. Maybe it's your pastor maybe it's just a trusted friend that knows your life well enough to speak into it. It could
be your spouse. Are you transparent with your spouse? But make sure that you have people that are speaking into your life that's what Proverbs is talking about in that verse of iron sharpening iron, one man sharpens another. Want to raise your game? Get in it. Fifty seven past the hour. Time for news on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's five past the hour. It's Monday, FSU
fans welcome. It's time for the ashcloth sackcloth and ashes sorry segment of the program as we all commiserate together wearing black joining us Iris Schofel getting combat pay from war chan dot com, where he's the managing editor.
Hello it sir, Good morning, Preston.
Well, what do you think?
Uh, you know, here's the thing, man, Like I was thinking about the course of the season, Like you know, when it starts off and they're playing poorly, and you think, okay, well, you know, they'll figure some things out, and then that doesn't happen, and then you're like, Okay, there's going to have to be some changes, but you don't have many changes, and well, will Mike Norvel be willing to make changes?
And then you get to this point in the season, and I think it's clear to anybody that watched that game on Saturday that there's going to have to be major changes in this program, and so from that standpoint now, to me, it's just kind of you know, playing out the string and wait to see what it's going to look like when Mike Rovel revamps his staff, because there's just no way you could keep things going with things the way they are.
He made it clear in his postgame press conference that I watched intently that he has been doing evaluations. What do you sense he's evaluating.
I mean, hopefully everything's you know, again, like I think when you're having success, and I you know, people some people say that, you know, good is the enemy of great, and uh, you know, I think when you're having success, you don't maybe look at everything with a critical eye, and uh, you know, if he is the person that I think he is, and I think we all believed he was until about three months ago, I think he's probably looking at his complete coaching staff and his support staff,
all the analysts that they've hired, the strength and conditioning staff, the chemistry players on his team, the roster, you know, everything you know, and that now, on the one hand, that that could be very positive. On the other hand,
that's got to be overwhelming. And so I really hope, you know, he can regroup at some point because obviously he's shaken by what has happened, and you know, get some good people around him who can help him sits through this and figure out, you know, who needs to stay and who needs to go.
Did you get the impression? And I'm not sure if you saw it, Ira, but but the TV broadcast notably showed mac Brown with his hands on both of Mike's shoulders, speaking to him in almost a fatherly way. And those of us that are older recognize that type of look and that type of tone. It seemed as though mac Brown was trying to lift him up.
You know, mac Brown has really taken on that role, you know, not just for Michael Orveld because he coaches at Florida State, which is max Alamater, but he's really done that with a lot of coaches, you know. And you know, whether you think Mack Brown has been a great college coach or not, you know, he certainly has some of his critics for some of his teams that
fell short. He's embraced that role and you'll see him do that with a lot of younger coaches, you know, when they're going through tough times or sometimes when he's had problems with coaches, like he's not afraid to go up to a guy. You know. I think the thing that the confidence that comes sometimes with experience is he feels like he can take that role. And so I wasn't surprised to see that, and hopefully it meant something to Mike norvel coach.
Norvelle said, among other things in his press conference, Ira, that he's been here before, that he's gone through these types of things before. My question for you is, because you've looked at his career, we all have, but I don't think he's been where he is here now.
Is this uncharted waters for him? In your opinion?
It definitely is. And you know, I understand why he, you know, wants to project that he has been here before, because you know, he came to a Florida State team that was bad, and they were really bad his first couple of years. That first year they went three and six, but they would have gone three and nine if it wasn't for COVID. You know, see, he's had bad teams before and help bring them back. But this is, you know, this is completely different, because this is a mess of
your own making. Yeah, you know, he brought these players in. He brought these coaches in the support staff, and uh, it's a lot easier to come in and be an agent of change when you're cleaning up somebody else's mess. So this is gonna be a huge task. I mean, if you were if you were looking, if there was a if there was a betting line in Vegas on whether or not Mike Norveld can turn this around, he'd
probably be an underdog at this point. But you know, I think Florida State it kind of has to ride with him because of the buyouts and because of you know, the circumstances where the school is, and I have to hope for the best and give him all the resources to do it. But it's going to be a huge, huge challenge.
Ten minutes past the hour, More with Irishafel, managing editor at warchand dot com, where you can get all kinds of details, all kinds of intel and information on the website about not just Florida State football, but all of the sports at Florida State University.
Back with Iron.
Next, The Morning Show with Preston Scott on NewsRadio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio Double UFLA Panama City dot Com.
Coming up to twelve past the Hour with Iraschaffell of war Chant dot Com. Ira looking at the at the game itself against North Carolina, It's the first time that I feel like I saw large numbers of guys on the field quit.
Did you see that?
I mean, yeah, you definitely saw some guys not giving great effort. I don't like to use that word just because I've never played college football, and you know, I know the physical requirements of playing it, so I'm not a big fan of using that word. But yeah, I mean they were definitely some plays where a lot of plays where guys weren't playing the way you'd like to see them play. And uh, you know, I think that
that stems from a lot of things. I mean, I think it stems from being one in nine over their last ten games. That stems from probably and I wrote a little bit about this, I think the biggest concern is I think they play like a team that doesn't have confidence in each other or the coaching staff. And you know that's that is a way when you say quitting to me, that makes it seem like it's in
impugning the character of young men. Sometimes that it impugnes the coaches because it's saying it's the player's way of saying, I don't have confidence in what we're doing, what you're asking us to do, and so to me I in college football, I want to turn that back on the coaches because you obviously haven't put those guys in position where they believe.
That the defense made Jacolby chris Well look like a Heisman Trophy candidate, they made the running back look like he was oj Simpson reborn.
I mean, it's.
It's I can't imagine what it feels like inside the program right now. Ira, Are you getting anybody talking to you from inside the program?
Yeah, for sure. You know, I talked to people at different levels, and you know, and and it's a mess in the sense that you know, there are coaches on the staff that know that, uh, you know, they're probably either going to be out of a job or they could be out of a job, so they're trying to figure out what they're going to be doing. People that
work beneath them in the same situation. You know, a lot of times these analysts and supports that people they're kind of aligned with their position coach and if a position coach gets removed, then what happens to them? And so now you have like a lot of people in the program trying to figure out what the future is going to be. You have players on the team that are trying to decide is this where I want to be or do I want to be part of this rebuild or do I want to get out of here.
Then obviously no one is more miserable than Mike Norvel because he's a guy that has to stand on the sideline with the cameras on him and answer the questions and press conferences. So it's it's as miserable as you might expect. And again, I just don't think there's anything anyone can do to make things better until changes start to happen.
Well, I was going to say, you know, I mentioned this to a few people. You could put Pat Mahomes behind center, it wouldn't matter. There is no quarterback that can play well behind those offensive linemen because they're just not very good well.
And that's the probably the biggest shame right now is you know, you want to see what you're having those two young quarterbacks, and you know, I think most people, you know, after the last couple of weeks thoughts. You know, most people I've spoken to feel like Luke Crovenhawk has a bigger upside. That's who they're excited to see. But
he looked completely shell shocked on Saturday. But like you said, partly because of that offensive line and not, you know, just not having confidence in the offense around him receivers to get open, and so it's hard to judge these quarterbacks. But the problem is whatever decisions they've got to make in this offseason have to start with that quarterback position. You know, do you have a guy, do you trust one of those guys to be the starter next year?
If not, do you have to go and get somebody because that's going to help determine what you're able to get in the transfer portal, because you know, if you want to find good receivers, they're going to want to play with good quarterbacks. So you know, that's that's unfortunately, because it's made it hard to even evalue this quarterbacks because the offensive line and the receivers have played so poorly.
Irischafelle with us from war chant dot Com. Another segment to go here on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Final segment with Iras Chaffelle of war chant dot com talking FSU football for just another few minutes ira this game.
Coming up at Notre Dame.
Wow, because this is a matchup of just nightmarish proportions for Florida State. The lines of Notre Dame were typical. They're big and they're physical and we're not.
Yeah, man, the point spread, I think it's twenty four. It's going to open up, and I'm trying to think of what the number would be would have to be for somebody to really put a lot of money on Florida State at this point. And yeah, you know, I think it's you know, and not only is it is it going to be up? You know, on the road, you're playing the worst football you've played all year, like
this FISHU team has regressed. You're playing a Notre Dame team that's still in the playoff hunt only has one loss, and they're coming off a bye week, so it should be a fun Saturday and South then well.
What I mean answer your question, you said that what kind of number would there need to be for someone to put some money on FSU?
What do you think forty forty five for me?
For me, yeah, probably forty forty five some in that ballpark. I mean, I know this team can't score at home against bad teams. It had scored more than sixteen points since the season opener, and they played some not very good teams. I mean, North Carolina's defense has given up a huge numbers to some teams and you couldn't score against them. So how are you gonna score at Notre
Dame in November? Yeah? I just I don't know how Florida State's You know, if the defense plays inspired and plays like they did against Miami, then maybe you keep them to you know, in the in the high thirties or so. But I just I don't see it. I think this team may have cashed it in on Saturday.
I mean North Carolina gave up seventy points to James Madison for Pete's sake.
Yeah you would. I'm sure that came up to a lot a lot of people, a lot across a lot of people's minds on Saturday. It does.
If if you are right now looking down the road, do you really think Charleston Southern is an automatic win?
I mean, you really like to believe so, I mean, there's probably nobody on Charleston Southern's roster that could have taken a recruiting visit to Florida State and they're terrible. You know, it's not just that they're a small school. They're terrible at their level. So yes, you would believe. You'd have to believe if that's the game Florida State should win. On the other side, if you have quit, if you have given up, then you can lose to anybody.
So I would still take Florida State. I think they'll win that game, but uh, it's not, you know, completely out of the realm.
And Florida actually played Georgia awfully dog on well this past weekend, and so that game looks right now to be an uphill battle.
Yeah, you know, with the exception of the fact that if DJ Lagway their quarterback is out now, they're they're basically to a walk down to a walk on quarterback. So they're not gonna you wouldn't think they're going to if you have any interest in being there. They're not going to score a lot of points. So it should be a should be a close game, should be two offensives.
I can't do a whole lot, and you'd like to think that that would get guys fired up at least one more time, you know, defending their home turf against their you know, in our tribal But you know, right now, it's hard to predict anything.
What are you hearing from your recruiting reporters, the people that you guys trust at war chant to give you the insight on what's happening out there?
Uh?
I know there were reports of guys right no off Florida State and decommitting or saying they're not on my list anymore halfway through the game on Saturday. What do you what do we know?
Yeah?
And I think some of that is people trolling. I don't know if all that's accurate, but on social media, but uh yeah, no, I mean they had they had four official visitors this weekend. I think we interviewed at least two or three of them, and they you know, they gave the normal positive you know, I liked it. I like the coaches, I like the atmosphere, but nobody sounded like over the moon about it. How could you be a recruit and watch that performance and think, oh, yeah,
I definitely want to be here. Now what Florida State is selling their sales pitch is completely change now yep, over the last few weeks. Now it is Hey, you can be part of the turnaround. There's going to be early playing time. You could be the kind of guy that turns us around, and that will be attracted to some players. Some players like the idea of that. They want to feel wanted. They want to feel like, oh, this is a place I can go in and be
a star early. So I think they'll figure out something. But obviously, you know, recruiting is going to be a far cry from what anybody expected, especially coming off of thirteen to a year ago.
How much do you think Norvale needs to rely on the portal fifty to fifty sixty forty.
If I'm him, at least sixty forty. Now, the one positive thing about the Portal guys they brought in this past year, and I know people are going to roll their eyes because they haven't been impressed with any of those guys, probably or many of those guys. Most of them, the vast majority of them have multiple years. Most of them can play two or three years. So there's a chance that some of those guys you brought in this past year that didn't have you know, very good seasons,
well a few of them got injured. You're gonna bring those guys back, so it's almost like having those portal guys already back. And then if you go out and you get ten or twelve or thirteen or fourteen more, and if you hit on some of those unlike this year, then you know that would be a huge difference. But yeah, I know there's a lot of people really want to go back to high school recruiting, but to me, that's part of a four three or four year rebuild. They've
got to rebuild and turn it around overnight. So they've got to go heavy in the portal. Again.
IRA's always thanks for the time.
And I don't know if you're heading to South Bend or not, but if you do, good luck.
I am.
Well, we're gonna we're gonna do us some time in Chicago and then we'll get through the few hours in South Bend.
Thank you, Ira, Thanks President.
Iras Chapelle with us from war Chan dot com and this is the Morning Show with Preston Scott Well Hope Springs Eternal. And while we are hopeful that next year would be better for FSU football, the new season is here for FSU men's basketball and joining us the voice of the Knowles, Director broadcasting for Florida State University, Jeff Calhay And Hello, Jeff.
Rest the good morning. How are you today, sir? I appreciate you having me on.
Yeah, I mean I took off the sackcloth and ashes from the previous segment, and now we're going to talk a little bit about coach ham and the team. What are your impressions you saw him play last year? It was not the type of year Coach Hamilton and the staff like, wasn't the kind of year the players like. So what are you seeing in practice this year and in the early preseason that gives you some optimism?
You know, I tell you what was excited about the start of ACC play, A season to go, got up to a six to start, and a lot of people forget our home game versus North Carolina last year in late January, where it was the top two teams in the ACC at the time and just did not finish the way that we had hoped they would.
A season to go.
But this year, you know, watching these guys and seeing some of the things that Leonard Hamilton, Stan Jones, this entire staff have taught and put on the court. This is a group with a lot of new faces and a group that trying to come together here early in the season to kind of get to know each other on the hardwood a little bit. And you know, one of the key things about this year is the return
of Jummier Watkins. I mean, this is a guy that has NBA Aspirations All ACC performer a season ago, preseason second Team All ACC honoree from the media and the coaches around the ACC and around the conference. So had getting him back and meshing him with the newcomers that coaching the staff brought in from the transfer portals to another athletic, versatile group that can switch one through five the way Letter Hamilton likes to see it on the
defensive side of the floor. And it starts tonight against Northern Kentucky, who's a good basketball team in their own right, coming into the Tucker Center.
Everybody listening on WFLA and Tallahassee and Panama City, you get FSU basketball this season. Jeff pregame starts what fifteen early, how eart least the pregame show.
Thirty early, So we'll be with you starting at six thirty pm tonight and We're fired up to be on one hundred point seven WFLA here this season with Florida State men's basketball. So pregame thirty minutes early six thirty pm tonight.
Preston, you talked about Jamiir Watkins, and he's clearly he's an All American candidate. He's such a good basketball player. Let's go down to the other guys. Because college basketball, man, you better have good guard play. And coach Hamilton seems to have found some people maybe to play that point guard. But as you mentioned, it's tough because coach ham likes to switch one through five defensively, how does a small point guard handle that?
Yeah, you got you gotta be tough, There's no doubt about that, because you're gonna be ast to guard at times, bigger, potentially longer athletes down near the basket. And you better be able to hold your own and you better be able to play physically. And I think Chandler Jackson is a guy, Preston, you know who at six four, six ' five. He actually lost a little bit away in the offseason two to five. Now he was at two twenty.
He's the guy that can handle his own in this kind of a defense, and you know, on the flip side of it, a year ago, this team, you know, really really was trying to find that five guy who can go out and guard a point guard late in the shot clock. And this year I know that Leonard Hamilton believes they found that guy in transfer Malik Ewitt, who was the player of the year, a junior college player of the Year in the country a season ago in South Plains College in Texas, now at Florida State.
He's six ' ten, six ' eleven. He's got good footwork, he's long, he can move, and he can handle himself. He looks like a guard out there, and that's a huge asset in this defense late in a shot clock to be able to have a five man who can go out on the perimeter and play with an RJ. Davis, play with a point guard in the league that's going to try and take him to the basket and get a bucket late in a possession.
Jeff Colhayn with me, Director broadcasting for Florida State University. A few more minutes next on the Morning Show with Preston Scott, forty one past the HOURFSU Men's basketball The season tips tonight at seven pregame six thirty on these radio stations, WFLA in Tallahassee and in Panama City, Northern Kentucky comes to the Tuckers Center before Rice coming on the ninth. Jeff Calhayen, Director Broadcasting Voice of the Knowles will call the games as always and with us right
now for just a few more minutes. Jeff coach Hamilton his best teams over the years. He rolls out ten to twelve guys and he just abuses teams with defensive pressure and creates his offense with that. Based on what you've seen and what you hear from coach, do you feel like there's going to be two squads or more that he can run out there.
He likes his young players, and a reality of the roster this season, Preston, is that we're going to see some freshmen out there on the floor. And that's something that in years past, with the way coach and his staff have built teams, he's always relied on fourth and fifth of year guys. But in this new era of college basketball, you have to get guys ready to play right away, and so there are some newcomers that you will see to you see out there on the court
that will help execute that system you're talking about. Leonard Hamilton wants to play nine, ten eleven guys and with ten newcomers all coming in at once this season, it's a group that has been working together since the spring and the summertime. And Yeah, to answer your question, Preston, Yes, you're going to see that same type of rotation and same type of style from Leonard Hamilton and this basketball team and hopes of trying to speed teams up and wear them down as the game moves along.
A lot of coaches have different philosophies on their scheduling and how they handle it. Some coaches like to give their kids some wins and build some confidence, especially with like you mentioned, a newer roster with FSU has. Other teams like to test their team early and see what they get.
This schedule early.
Through until the ACC schedule starts in December looks to be a bit of both.
What do you make of it?
Yeah, I think that's a good call. I think there's a little bit of both in there. Certainly, early you want to go out and try and find confidence and growth. And while you're doing all those things and developing, you win these games. Now, I will tell you this, Preston, Tonight is not one of those kinds of contests you think about in non conference play early in the season. Northern Kentucky is very good, and they're a team that
transitioning to Division One. In the last ten twelve years, they have been very good and have made their way to the NC DOUBLEA Tournament a handful of times, and
so well coached. They returned players that started in their last NCAA Tournament game a couple of seasons ago, Darren Horn as their head coach, and a guy, ironically enough, that went to Western Kentucky and played in the NC DOUBLEA Tournament against one of the great Florida State teams back in the early nineties in an overtime win for FSU to get to the Elite eight before eventually falling
to Kentucky. So some connection there with Darren Horn and Florida State back in some of those great glory days of FSU basketball, and tonight one heck of a ball game starting at seven pm.
If I were to ask you to finish this sentence in closing, Florida State finds itself competing for a chance at an NCAA Tournament Berth.
If what's that followed up with?
I would say, if this group continues to come together on the defensive end and continues to grow rebounding the basketball, I think they'll figure out ways to score, especially led by Johnny or Watkins. But defensively, if they can play that Leonard Hamilton style and wear teams down, this team has a chance in March to be talking about Danton in March Madness.
Jeff, thanks for the time, my friend, and good luck with the season. Enjoy enjoy your time.
Ruston, appreciate you. Thanks for having me as.
Always my pleasure.
Jeff Calhayne, voice of Florida State Football and men's basketball and director broadcasting for Florida State University. Our guest forty six minutes past the hour, come back and wrap it up with a He's not right segment here on the morning show.
I just heard it.
If you missed the early portion of the program, we talked about a piece of music written by Frederick Chopin, and our guy Marvin Goldstein was listening, played it recorded and sent it to me. I'll play it tomorrow undiscovered until recently.
You'll hear it.
Maybe the first time anyone's ever played it where anyone could hear it. I could get in trouble maybe, I don't know. I mean, Frederick's dead, so he's not going to be complaining.
It'd be worth it.
Yeah, I'm just saying, Okay, this is a story that I said.
He's not right.
Jason Kelsey, Travis's brother. Older brother, played for Philadelphia, retired. Now he's on TV doing some commentary and he and his brother have a podcast that, for whatever reason, people listen to. On the Penn State campus during game day, video showed him walking among fans. Someone yelled apparently a quote gay slur about Travis Kelsey, and Jason grabbed the phone from the guy standing behind him and smashed it to the ground.
Hashtag roid rage anyone that's not He's not right. Dude.
You put yourself out there in the public arena. You're doing podcasts, You're doing chunky commercials, chunky soup commercials, wearing a robe, laying in front of a fireplace talking about.
How spicy the soup is.
Dude, you get what comes with that. And if you can't walk through a crowd of thousands and not have rabbit ears and have a meltdown, then you don't belong out there in the public arena. Just get out of it, pal,
because you're going to end up in jail. Hopefully there will be a settlement here and we'll get to read about him buying the guy a new phone and maybe five thousand dollars cash or so, I don't know whatever, but yeah, you just if you get if you hear something you don't like, you don't get to rot out on him.
Dude, you just you just don't you do whatever.
And you know, Jason was a really good football player. He was a center for the Philadelphia Eagles and was really good. So I'm not taking anything away from his talent, but at this point he's he matters because he's Jason Travis Kelsey's brother. I mean, I guess whatever. Tomorrow, it's Election Day.

And four, reminding you don't.
Put your trust in man or whoa man.
People.
We have to to a certain extent. I get that, drive through an intersection. You're trusting other people. I get that, but you know, what I'm saying, hope you're making plans to vote big stories in the press box, NBC blows equal time. I'm going to have more to say about this tomorrow because I think it matters a lot that Louren Michaels lied. I think it matters. We will discuss Pentagon fails to send absentee ballots to active military service.
What do you think?
Do you think active military are supporting kamala i e. A continuation of what they've had for four years in the military, or are they ready to go back to let's make America great and tough again? You tell me so. Who does it benefit that they're not getting absentee ballots? And how egregious is that Pennsylvania gets to keep violating state law The Supreme Court didn't intervene mistake. RNC demands an investigation into fraudulent voter registration in Pennsylvania Field plus
media corps. Some have suggested it's just the remake of Acorn, probably evidence of ballad harvesting in Wisconsin talked about the possibility of another name storm the week of the election. Oh no, those Democrats, It's only happened in nineteen twelve. Nineteen sixteen, nineteen twenty four, nineteen forty eight, nineteen sixty four, nineteen eighty, nineteen ninety six, in two thousand and eight. But you know, global warming just saying back tomorrow on election day,
