Episode Transcript

(00:19):
Mor than friends, neighbors, ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
in Aaron par thanks so much forjoining us this morning here on The Morning
Show with Preston Scott. Wednesday,on the program, we start with Galatians

(00:41):
five thirteen. For you were calledto freedom, brothers only, do not
use your freedom as an opportunity forthe flesh, but through love, serve
one another. Let me pile onhere for a second. Elsewhere it says,

(01:08):
you know you can do anything youwant, but not everything that you
choose to do will be profitable.And we're not talking about money profitable as
in good for you. It's notgonna be. All things are permissible,

(01:34):
but not all things are profitable.I'm reminded of a dear friend. I
said to him at one point,you know you have to and he stopped.
He said, I don't have todo anything. He said, I
don't. I don't have to goto work. He said, now,

(01:57):
if I make that choice, yes, I'll get fired, but I don't
have to go. And he precededthe list all of the various things that
we do in the course of aday that we choose to do. So

(02:20):
the things that we choose to docomes at weighing and measuring the relative value
of doing that thing, because wedon't have to do anything. So the
things that you choose to do eachand every day, they can be profitable

(02:46):
for the Kingdom of God for youas a member of that. And I've
always found that if you do thingsto benefit others, you enrich yourself.
It's funny how when you invert that, when you start getting real focused on
yourself and you're not considered of thepeople around you, Like if you're an

(03:12):
employee and it's all about you andyou're not thinking about your boss, your
supervisor, the company you work for. It's funny how things get real narrow,
real fast, and that will eventuallyshow seeds that bring about a crop

(03:35):
that is very similar to that kindof selfishness. I saw a study years
ago, and I reference this studyfrom time to time. The study showed
that a group of children dropped offat a playground with no fence. It

(04:00):
was just wide open. All stayedin the middle together in the playground.
But when they were dropped off ata playground that had a fence that was
one hundred yards or so away,they spread out, fanned out everywhere It
was an interesting explanation of human naturethat by design guidelines and fences and rules,

(04:31):
if you will create the most freedom, that when we have no boundaries,
we are less free. This versein Galatian says you were called the
freedom. Use it as an opportunityto love and serve others. I believe

(04:58):
that the freedom to serve comes theboundaries and the rules of God. Ten
minutes after the hour, take apeek inside the American Patriots Almanac for May
twenty second. That's next year.On the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(05:19):
Preston Scott, what will you dowith on Freedom and Use Radio? One
hundred point seven WUFLA. Gas pricesare elevated, So Biden's going to release
a million barrels of oil from ourreserves, which is only supposed to be

(05:42):
done in a national emergency, totry the lower gas prices. Why would
he do that? Oh, yeah, there's an election coming up. I
know you're not that stupid, becauseyou listen to this show. I know
that you're not going to buy this. I think more important than cheap gas
prices, which are not cheap.By the way, that we'll get to

(06:06):
a story just a little bit aboutthat. But it's important to note that
he has repeatedly because of his baddecision making. Think about this, He's
releasing oil from our strategic emergency reserves, and he's done it multiple times while

(06:30):
serving as president as a pretender.Now we're living in an age of pretend,
right, Pretend men, pretend women. So why not a pretend president?
And so we are exposed and vulnerablebecause our reserves aren't what they should
be. Because by releasing those oilreserves, he's admitting he was wrong.

(06:59):
We should not have cut oil production. And it's the first thing he did.
Oh mercy, all right, Maytwenty second, what do we got
here? In May seventeen eighty two, George Washington received a letter from one
of his officers, Colonel Lewis Nicola, proposing that the general used the army

(07:24):
to make himself King. Washington wrotea response on May twenty second, seventeen
eighty two. It's said, witha mixture of great surprise and astonishment,
I have read with attention the sentimentsyou have submitted to my perusal. Be

(07:47):
assured, sir, no occurrence inthe course of the war has given me
more painful sensations than your information oftheir being such ideas existing in the army
as you have expressed, which arebig with the greatness, greatest mischiefs that
can befall my country. If Iam not deceived in the knowledge of myself,

(08:11):
you could not have found a personto whom your schemes are more disagreeable.
Let me conjure you, then,if you have any regard for your
country, concern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish
these thoughts from your mind. Canyou imagine how different the fate of this

(08:41):
country would have been had we notchosen Washington to lead the army in the
Revolutionary War, and it had goneto somebody who would have said, you
know, after all, we arejust. We do need strong leadership.

(09:11):
We were so fortunate. Eighteen ohtwo, Martha Washington dies at Mount Vernon
at the age of seventy. Eighteenforty three, a wagon train of a
thousand Pioneers bound for the Northwest leavesIndependence, Missouri, on the Oregon Trail
eighteen forty nine. On this date, Abraham Lincoln receives a patent for an

(09:31):
invention for booying vessels over shoals,which he never put to use eighteen.
He just had a good idea eighteenfifty six, in a side of tensions
between the North and South, SouthCarolina Congressman Preston Brooks beats Massachusetts Senator Charles
Sumner with a cane in the Senatechamber. Man, bring back the days,

(09:56):
Bring back the days when guys wouldjust grab a ca ain't it's smack
each other. And then on thisdate in nineteen seventy two, Richard Nixon
becomes the first president to visit Russia. There you go, seventeen past the
hour. Come back, another auction, only this one's in court. You

(10:22):
know my fascination for auctions. Thistime it's Graceland, Elvis's historic home and
now museum is set to be soldat auction. It's supposed to happen tomorrow,

(10:46):
but there's a court hearing today.Here's the story. His daughter,
Lisa Marie allegedly, and you knowwe're careful with things like this, allegedly
took out a loan with Nassony Investmentsin private lending for three point eight million

(11:13):
dollars in twenty eighteen and used Gracelandas collateral. It claims that Lisa Marie
signed a deed of trust to securethe loan, but never paid back the
debt before she died last year.Her daughter, Riley Keoh, an actress,
is the sole heir of Graceland.Her brother committed suicide years ago and

(11:39):
so her mom, Lisa Marie,is buried next to her brother. She
said the loan is a fake andit was not executed by her mom,
that it was fraudulently forged. Inher lass suit filed May fifteenth, she

(12:03):
said the signatures are forged. NausinyInvestments is not a real entity. She
claims the lawyer involved in the deedis denied verifying Lisa Marie's signature or even
meeting her ever, and so atemporary restraining order was granted Monday this week

(12:26):
and an injunction is set for today. Elvis Presley's Enterprises Elvis Presley Enterprises,
a group that runs Graceland and thathas the assets of Elvis Presley's trust,
said the claims are fraudulent, quotingthere is no foreclosure sales. Simply put,

(12:46):
the counter lawsuit has been filed tostop the fraud. The backstory Graceland
was moved into by Presley in nineteenfifty seven thirteen point eight acres. I've
been there. It's an amazing placeto visit. I was never a huge

(13:07):
Elvis fan, but the history ofthat place and what Presley accomplished and collected
he was a big time collector,is just amazing. Lisa Marie inherited Graceland
after Elvis's death in nineteen seventy seven. She was just a kid. Within

(13:33):
a few years, it was convertedto a museum after he died. It
was originally constructed in nineteen thirty nineby Ruth Brown Moore and her husband Thomas
Moore. They named the property Graceland, after Ruth's aunt Grace, who originally
owned the land, and then Elvispurchased the property in nineteen fifty seven and

(13:54):
changed it His father, Vernon,took over managing the trust after Elvis died
in nineteen seventy seven. According tothe Star's will, ownership of Graceland transferred
to Lisa Marie when she turned twentyfive in nineteen ninety three. Changed ownership

(14:16):
again in twenty three when Lisa Mariedied and his daughter Riley Keo, his
granddaughter, rather took possession of theestate. Most popular museum in the United
States, doesn't surprise me. Oversix hundred thousand guests visit and explore the
home every single year. Lisa Marieis buried at Graceland next to her son

(14:41):
Benjamin Keo, who died at theage of twenty seven in twenty twenty.
So yeah, what a story,huh man? Okay, I for one
hope that there was no I mean, why would Lisa Marie need to borrow

(15:05):
money? Elvis is his state,his his gear, his his memorabilia,
His stuff is souvenirs. I mean, I think Still Royalties generates more than
enough money every year. I meanI think he Michael Jackson are among the

(15:30):
dead star Marilyn Monroe who's still justrake in money there. Their estates do
whatever that however that's broken down,their celebrities. Just on ending. So
twenty seven past the hour, Bigstories in the press box next dot miss
him here in the Morning Show withPreston Scott. All Right, quick update

(15:58):
here you might have missed the segmentearlier in the week. The composer of
the theme music for the original Halogame, marit O'Donnell running for running for

(16:21):
Congress in Nevada, is going tojoin us live on the show. The
boys are back. Yeah, I'mpretty fired up. I said, look,
let's let's let's help broaden your reacha little bit and see if we
can raise your little fundraising money outof Florida and the audience of the morning

(16:41):
show. So we're gonna he's gonnajoin us lives. He's Pacific Coast time.
He's going to get up at fivepoint thirty in the morning to join
us for an eight thirty segment sometimein the next week or so. So
yeah, see that's what we do. We just we reach far. We

(17:03):
swing for the fences. Yeah,we'll strike out occasionally. But if you
don't, if the bat stays onyour shoulder, you never know what you're
gonna do. Right, You gottaswing at the pitch. You gotta take
a cut, gotta take your hacks. So pretty fired up about that.

(17:25):
Big Stories in the press Box broughtto you by Grove Creative Marketing and digital
Expertise. Pretty fired up about thefact that now this is a mixed bag
good news. It's a fiddler aroundthe roof on one hand, on the
other hand, on one hand,Jacksonville Sheriff announced the arrest of twenty seven
targeting child exploitation. These are twentyseven dudes between the ages of nineteen and

(17:52):
sixty nine that we're planning on havingengaging in intimacy with a child and some
I mean child child. I'm notgoing to read all their names. Their
shame is forthcoming. And I puton our ex page the arrest compilation that

(18:18):
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office put together in Wow, some of these guys, what did
they do? And I was sosorry, Yeah, buddy, you are
sorry. I just wanted to givea shout out because this was a multi
jurisdiction, multi agency effort, andso shout out to Bay County Sheriff Tommy

(18:41):
Ford. This was done in cooperationwith Bay County Sheriff's Office, Homeland Security
Intercept Task Force, Naval Criminal Investigations. That tells you something right there.
NCIS was involved. Yes, sir, Yes, Sir US Marshall's Florida Department
of Law Enforcement, State Attorney,US Attorney. Here's the takeaway parents.

(19:11):
The entry point for almost all ofthis is the Internet. It's video games
and social media. I suppose there'sIt's one of the reasons why I hate
gaming online against with other people.I just don't do it. If I,
if I I sometimes I'll have agame or two on my phone to

(19:33):
just pass the time. If it'scompeting against anybody, I I have no
interest. It's just I don't wantto do that. I just want to
I just want to play against thecomputer whatever. That's fine, But this
is how kids are lured in.They're stalked because someone's pretending. Another big

(19:55):
story. FEMA's out of money,we're ahead of We're ahead of hurricane season.
FEMA says it's one point three billionin debt and that debt's going to
grow to six point eight billion bySeptember. Here's the question that Senators Rick
Scott and Mark Arrubio have asked ina letter to Dave Criswell or sorry,

(20:19):
Dian Criswell, the administrator for FEMA. What's happened? What are you doing
with the money we gave you,every penny you asked for? Where is
it? What's going on? Notgood? Ahead of hurricane season? And
then lastly, Americans for prosperity.This is kind of cool as Biden is

(20:41):
doing what he can to lower gasprices, they are really lowering. They
picked twenty gas stations across the countryand they're doing a little little promo.
They're buying down the price of gasat twenty different stations back to what prices
were when Joe Biden took office.On the day he took office. They're
putting gas prices back to what theywere then, which is on average about

(21:03):
two point thirty eight a gallon,and they're setting up displays and all that
at all these gas stations across thecountry again, about twenty of them.
The events started Monday. They're runningthrough the end of the week, maybe
the end of the month, andso good on them. That's genius.
Just a little reminder everybody, thisis what Joe's doing to the country.

(21:25):
And oh, by the way,intentionally forty minutes past the hour, it's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.Got to have a little surgery on Friday,

(21:48):
so had a root canal done backin the fall, and everything was
going until it wasn't. And I'vegot an awesome dentist and he said,
look, you need to you needto get seen by a specialist because something

(22:10):
else is going on. And sowe see here what's what it's what it's
called here apicoecto me apicoectomy. SoThey're gonna go in through the upper part
of my gum and get to thetip of the tooth, not from the

(22:34):
underside, but from the top thatis apparently becoming problematic and causing a bit
of nerve discomfort, shall we say, And so I've chosen to let's go
ahead get this done. So,uh Friday, I'm gonna go ahead.
They're gonna go in there and cutopen my gum and take out this little

(22:57):
piece and then sew it back toother I look like I got punched in
the face for a couple of days, and so I'm just gonna go ahead
and get it over with with thelong weekend coming up. Mashed potatoes and
uh nah, no, no,you're not gonna blend up your food.
No no, no, no,no no. I would do chicken broth

(23:18):
before I would ever do anything likethat. Chicken Broth's good. Yeah,
I'm sure I can. I caneat pretty much normally. I just have
to do the saltwater rints after Ieat. And sorry, I got a
bug here, those annoying little thingsthat flies around. And given what I
do for a living, last thingI need is a little extra proteine.

(23:42):
Yeah, So yeah, I'm justwhining for just a second. Sorry,
I just I just am. I'mnot a sissy on this stuff. I'm
just like, well, let's go, come on, let's get it done.
Let's go. I consulted with mydentist about the recommendation. The the
end adonist is highly recommended, andso yeah, I'm good, let's go.

(24:07):
Let's do it, get it done. His staff is awesome. I
mean, I've never seen this guy. He's just but yeah, so can't
wait, can't can't wait. Idid a little digging here. This is
the International Criminal Court, the chiefprosecutor Karam Khan born in Scotland. He's

(24:33):
a citizen of the UK technically,and he is asking for an arrest warrant
for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Defense MinisterJoev Galant, and as well as leaders
for Hamas unnamed of course, forcrimes against humanity and all of this stuff,

(24:55):
for extermination, causing extermination, causingstarvation as a method of war,
including denial of humanitarian relief. Firstof all, he's a Muslim. I
just thought i'd point that out toyou. He is a Muslim born though
his dad's Pakistani, his mom isis either British or Scottish citizen, and

(25:18):
so he's got his dad's last name, and it's just interesting that you know
he's a Muslim and we have thisarrest warrant. But what we also have
is it's important for you to hearthis. He's absent of facts. Israel,

(25:38):
in fact, used to supply aboutseven percent of the water to Gaza
prior to the invasion. Now theyare supplying roughly half of the water.
They starving people. They've supplied ahalf million tons of food in medicine with
twenty thousand trucks. Genocide. Excuseme. They drop leaflets saying get out.

(26:07):
It's a Hamas that is using gunsto keep civilians there in harm's way.
It's Amas that's taking the aid forthemselves and or selling it on the
black market. So the Israel isdoing just the opposite of what they're being
accused of. What a shock,And these arrest warrants are just ridiculous.

(26:37):
A three judge panel will determine whateveron all of you. The UN,
the International Criminal Court ounce sand Whywould they deny secret Service protection for Robert

(27:12):
F. Kennedy Junior. He's adeclared president presidential candidate. He's polling with
enough numbers to warrant protection. I'mjust saying, why, huh. Kind
of creepy, to be honest withyou. When you look at the family

(27:36):
tree and you look at what's happenedto his family, it's kind of creepy.
I wonder why my Orcus is sayingno, he's been advised to decline
coverage by the secret service of thecandidate. Okay. Came across this yesterday

(27:57):
and it was just, you know, we were just talking about it.
It all boils down to trust.You do you really trust the federal government?
I don't. I know most ofyou don't. We kind of have
to coexist. But there's this underlyingand what stinks is there's some many of

(28:22):
you work for the federal government.You're awesome, but you know you,
you know, they're just things.There's that book of secrets that allegedly the
guy in charge, whoever's in theWhite House, has just tell some stuff.

(28:48):
And at that point then it's like, I don't want to see it.
If I'm president, I'm like,I don't want to see it.
Keep that over there. I don'twant to see it. But in light
of that, I came across somethingin the Babylon B that I just,
I just I just had to sharebecause when it comes to the FEDS,
we you can't be sure who totrust that could be your baby. According

(29:18):
to the Babylon B, these arethe nine ways to tell if your sweet
little baby may in reality be afed. Number One, your baby cries
clearly meant to distract you from thewindowless van parked across the street. Number

(29:41):
two, your baby insists on alwaysbeing with you for some reason, almost
like they're keeping in their eyes onyou. Huh. Number three, your
baby's rattle looks like it as wiressticking out of it. You're pretty sure
that's not battery operated. Number four, you were reported to the FDA for

(30:08):
feeding your child unpasteurized breast milk spitsup every time someone mentions January sixth,
smiles and claps with delight. Wheneveryou talk about kidnapping the governor of Michigan.
Why is that the only thing thatmakes your child happy? Always wearing

(30:32):
cargo shorts. You don't even dressthem in cargo shorts, but your child
just ends up wearing them. Yourbaby entered the Capitol on January sixth,
but was never arrested, and Lastly, when you complain to your spouse about
how much you pay in taxes,your baby puts fingers in his or her

(30:53):
ear and says, we got themfrom the battle and be back with our
two. Close to happening, Adude has a shot of being in the

(31:29):
US Women's Open in professional golf.The guy that they finally banned from this
weird tour out in Australia they finallysaid, yeah, no, we're not
doing this anymore has taken advantage ofthe LPGA and the USGA not having a

(31:52):
policy and is close. He's alternatefirst alternate to get into the US Women's
Open. A dude. He canhave all the surgeries and shots he wants.
It doesn't change that he's a guy. Anyway. We'll get to that

(32:15):
story tomorrow. I've asked the USGAfor an official comment. This comes from
our buddy. Some information here thatwas really interesting to me from Scott Beacon,
the b line blogger. By nowyou should know bline blogger dot blogspot

(32:37):
dot com. Suburban Houston four byone hundred track meet, so it's once
around the clock, four times onehundred yards one hundred meters, rather four
guys at at Costa Addis Costa HighSchool, which is a suburb of Houston

(33:06):
in Humboldt, Texas. They ranit in thirty nine point one four.
They averaged less than ten seconds perrunner per one hundred meters high school.
That's flying. Scott, though,did some digging. Those four guys at

(33:31):
one high school in Texas had atime that would have won the Big Ten
Track championship in the four by onehundred six teams in the high school finals
had a faster time than Michigan State. Adas, Casida and Duncanville would have

(33:55):
placed first and second in the ACCTrack Confield competition. Addas Casida would have
placed second in the PAC twelve finalsto usc by hundreds of a second.

(34:16):
But for context, Scott went intothe women's four by one hundred meter relay
during the twenty twenty Olympics. Jamaicawon gold at forty one point oh two,
United States forty one to four,Great Britain forty one to eight.

(34:37):
Those are your medalists. Addis CassidaHigh School would have won the women's four
by one hundred gold medal by almosttwo seconds over the Jamaican national team.
Duncanville High School would have won thesilver. North Shore would have taken the

(35:00):
bronze. The eighth place team inthe Texas High School track meet would have
won gold competing against the twenty twentyOlympic women. In fact, if the
top eight high school teams boys wererunning in the women's four by one hundred

(35:22):
in the twenty twenty Olympics, theywould have taken all spots one through eight,
all of them. Scott writes this, Of course, we're told there
are no physical differences between men andwomen. The only thing that matters is

(35:43):
how someone identifies in their own mind, and men who identify as women should
be allowed to compete in women's athleticsdespite genetic differences. Just ignore the fact
the teenage boys at eight high schoolsin Texas can run faster than the fastest,
most elite women athletes in the world. Thank you, Scott, consider

(36:08):
him your truth detector. The MorningShow with Preston Scott on News Radio one
hundred point seven WUFLA. There wasanother titbit in Scott's latest This and That

(36:29):
that I wanted to zero in onbecause it once again focuses on male and
female and I thought this was interestingas well. It's a different topic.
But he get again. He looksat numbers and data, and he digs,

(36:52):
he writes on the subject of malesand females. I thought it was
interesting data comparing self perception of menand women on their masculinity and femininity femininity
by generation. Ninety percent of Boomermen say they are completely mostly masculine.
Fifty seven percent of gen Z mensay the same. There's an unbelievable amount

(37:21):
of commentary that could be added asto why that is. Okay, I'm
gonna give you that chance in justa second. Oh, I don't even
know if I can even narrow itdown. But you watch the clock,
because you tend to forget the clock. Almost sixty five plus year old men
say they feel masculine, but onlyfifty seven percent of seventeen to twenty seven

(37:43):
year old gen Z ers do.Eighty seven percent of Boomer women say they're
completely or mostly feminine, sixty sevenpercent of gen Z women. First of
all, isn't it interesting how thenumber is dramatically lower in the masculinity marker

(38:04):
for men than it is femininity forwomen. Gen Z women have seemingly retained
more of their feminine self image atleast the way they perceive it than the
men have. You're allowed to befeminine more than you're allowed to be masculine.
But proceed belove. That's what I'mgetting at. So he asked the

(38:27):
question, are we doomed? Isthere something in the water? Is it
in the educational system? There mightbe something in the water literally social media?
Yes. Is it a combination ofa number of factors, he said,
you have to wonder what we're seeingif self perception scores regarding one's gender
are related to increasing levels of depressionin eighth, tenth and twelfth graders in

(38:50):
America, Nearly fifty percent of eighthtenth and twelfth graders feel quote I can't
do anything right forty nine percent.I do not enjoy life forty four percent.
My life is not useful. Gooh man. I think the point

(39:17):
in the middle of all that thatthere's a combination of factors. I don't
think we could pinpoint to any onething of why there's a phenomenon of less
femininity among females, less masculinity amongmales. It's a combination of environment that
we're in, kind of the cultureof the day. Maybe there were value

(39:39):
sets that weren't passed on to youknow, millennial and zoomer children and grandchildren
right there, those views that youknow, like you said, boomer men
and boomer women kind of had hadthe baseline there they felt appropriately what they
were. You know, I didn'tget passed on for whatever reason. So

(39:59):
there's there's no there's no one,you know, reason for this. It's
all encompassing. You're probably right,but Scott points this out. If you
look at the numbers, the numbersreally started to change in twenty twelve.

(40:23):
I can believe that that was whena big culture shift happened. That second
Obama administration was a massive, massivecultural shift. iPhone was introduced in two
thousand and seven. Yep, Androidin two thousand and eight, the Instagram
app for Android in twenty twelve.Ye TikTok in twenty seventeen. Yea.

(40:50):
And these numbers have nearly doubled acrossthe board, if not more in nineteen
ninety one when they started tracking thisstuff. Yeah, totally believe it.
Again, it's just interesting for thoughtand maybe around your dinner table discussion.

(41:15):
Sixteen minutes past the hour, wecome back. We're going to circle back,
little Bill Gates epilogue. Next hour, We're going to take some phone
calls, and I'm asking a verybroad question. Our country is massively divided

(41:49):
that cannot be debated. Some wouldsay I contribute to it. Some would
say that the question is should therebe an effort to build a bridge.

(42:14):
Should there be an effort to finda way to bring this country back together?
Through our dialogue, through our interactions, through our conversations, do we
broaden our relationships to not always bewith like minded people. We're going to

(42:37):
talk about that next hour. I'mgonna see what you have to say.
Is there a distinction between those whocan be reached and those who seemingly are
so deep into the thick of itthat cracking through. Some would say that's
us, Oh well, Some wouldsay on the other side, that's us,

(42:59):
Oh well, yeah, they're not. Well, that's my point.
I think it's an interesting discussion tohave. That's funny. I always forget
that there are people out there thatthink, you know, we're the evil
ones. They have their view ofnormal, and it's which is their normal
so laughable. You and I bothknow of people that were raised in a

(43:23):
home by illiberals, and that's howthey see the world. That's it.
That's all they know. They don'tknow anything else. So anyway, that's
next hour. We're going to takesome calls on that. I want to
go back to yesterday's show real quickly. This is what Bill Gates said in
twenty ten, and it informs wherewe're going for just a couple of minutes.

(43:46):
Here. This equation has four factorsa little bit of multiplication. So
you've got a thing on the left, CO two that you want to get
to zero, and that's going tobe based on the number of people,
the services each person's using on average, the energy on average for each service,
and the CO two being put outa per unit of energy. So

(44:09):
let's look at each one of theseand see how we can get this down
to zero. Probably one of thesenumbers is going to have to get pretty
near to zero. Now that's backfrom high school algebra. But let's let's
take a look. First. We'vegot population. Now, the world today
has six point eight billion people.That's headed up to about nine billion.

(44:30):
Now, if we do a reallygreat job on new vaccines, healthcare,
reproductive health services, we could lowerthat by perhaps ten or fifteen percent.
So how is it possible that withhealthcare, vaccines, and reproductive services you
can reduce population. See we positedthe thought that he was talking about the

(44:55):
COVID vaccines that they are contributing toto population controls by reducing population. Perhaps
things we don't even know are goingon inside as a result of the vaccines.
Well, I got an email froma listener that said, don't forget
about Bill's mosquito thing, and Ilooked it up. Bill Gates Columbian mosquito

(45:20):
factories breeding thirty million bacteria infected mosquitosper week. The objective appears to be
to introduce this particular mosquito, theWaalbakia, into native mosquito populations by employing
lab bread mosquitoes, resulting in theinfection of such populations. A plant in

(45:43):
Columbia producing thirty million bacterially infected mosquitosevery week threatened to and he has threatened
to scale and deliver mosquitoes to communitiesaround the world as part of his Mosquito
World Mosquito program. He has declaredhimself the World Health Health Czarre invested one
hundred and eighty five million dollars inthe establishment of the mosquito factory in and

(46:05):
of itself, the stated purpose toeradicate native mosquito populations thought to be responsible
for dengay, zeka and other viralillnesses and humans. That's the state of
purpose. Here's the headline from Marchtwenty ninth, a little over a month

(46:29):
ago, Yale experts discuss dengay feveroutbreak in South America. I'm just asking
the question, what if the statedpurpose for the mosquito program was not to

(46:54):
reduce den fever, but was toin fact go more along with this.
Now, the world today has sixpoint eight billion people. That's headed up
to about nine billion. Now,if we do a really great job on
new vaccines, healthcare, reproductive healthservices, we could lower that by perhaps

(47:17):
ten or fifteen percent. How isit that medical advancements would lower the life
the numbers of people alive in theworld. I'm just pointing it out.
Thanks to the emails Preston Atiheartradio dotcom. This is the Morning Show with

(47:43):
Preston Scott's half hour away from talkingabout bridge building and no we're not talking
Baltimore, talking about the divide inAmerica. How do you repair that?

(48:08):
Can you repair that? Do youtry to repair that? Just want to
get your thoughts on the subject.I will explain a little later on this
half hour before we open up thephone lines where this all came from.
But first, the big stories inthe press box brought to you by Grove
Creative marketing and digital expertise Rick Scott, Marco Rubio Penning. A letter to

(48:35):
the Honorable Dann Chriswell, Administrator FEMA, Federal Emergency Management Agency, five hundred
West C Street, Sorry sorry,five hundred C Street in Southwest. They
basically say, thank you for doingwhat you're doing. We appreciate the coordination,
We know that you're there for us, But where's the money? FEMA

(49:01):
is stating that the disaster Relief Fundwill run out of money in August,
and in fact a deficit of onepoint three five nine billion in August and
by September more than tripling to sixpoint eight billion. What they said last

(49:39):
year, we led the effort tofully fund FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund at the
levels you and the White House requested. We gave you that money. I'll
take over from here. Where togo? They list a series of questions

(50:01):
they'd like to get answers to,But my question is where did it go.
Look, I get it. Tornadoescome. We had one here,
we had three of them, fourof them here. We get it.
But that's why you have the money, and we haven't even entered hurricane season,

(50:23):
and where did it go. Keepin mind, friends, a lot
of that money is our money,Florida's money. Florida's a donor state.
We give far more to the federalgovernment than we ever get in return.
Second big story in the press box, conservative group Americans for Prosperity partnering with

(50:47):
gas stations to highlight Biden's war onenergy. They are buying down the price
of gas at about twenty gas stationsacross the country, and they're putting it
at the price was when Biden tookoffice. The first one, first rollback
was Monday. They're going to continueit through May twenty ninth. In Oregon,

(51:15):
they're expecting four thousand people to lineup to fill their gas tanks with
fuel. I wonder if there's alimit, like if you can just fill
up your car or truck, orif you can fill up your car,
your truck, your gas cans,your mowers, your boats. Some guy
comes in with a caravan of twentyvehicles and then Lastly, Jacksonville Sheriff announcing

(51:37):
the arrest of twenty seven in achild exploitation sting cooperation with a lot of
agencies in Florida and federally good oneof them, Bay County Sheriffs Sheriff Ford,
thank you well done, sir twentyseven man between sixteen, sorry,
nineteen and sixty nine. We're planningto have sex with children. They were

(52:00):
showing up to do that. Iposted on I reposted the story on our
our Twitter page, and I justsimply said, though not impossible, it
is highly improbable that these men canbe rehabilitated. So good job, thank
you for getting them. But thisis this is a thing. And here's

(52:21):
why I say that they knew thispossibility existed. That then when they were
in chat rooms and they were theywere grooming these what they thought were children,
they knew it could be a trap. But the obsession is so strong
it doesn't stop them. That's whyI'm not sure these people can be rehabbed.
Forgiven, yes, rehabbed, Idon't know, Preston Scott, They're

(52:47):
gonna get a I'm just which knockknock, who's thesh on w f L
A Florida Man Factor fiction coming upin just a few minutes. It will

(53:13):

at a park, sitting high ina tree on a branch. And there's

Thank you for applying. This isthe Morning Show with Preston Scott Wednesday.

(57:22):
In the Morning Show, just ustaking some time for the people. So
what we're doing here we a littlebit up the phone lines, just a
little bit. But first, ladiesand gentlemen, it's time play a little
game on Wednesday at this part ofthe radio program, and it's called Florida

(57:45):
Man fact or fiction. I'm gonnaread three headlines and you have to decide
which headline is the real Florida manheadline with the understanding that anything's possible here
in the Sunshine State. Headline numberone, Florida man claims he married pet

(58:08):
flamingo fish and wildlife officials sees bird. Let me read that again. Florida
man claims he married pet flamingo fishand wildlife officials sees bird. Head Line
two, Florida man with no shirtsteals FHP cruiser to set off one hundred

(58:30):
and forty nine mile an hour chase. Headline number three, Florida man attacks
with razor blade machete in argument oversqueegee. And so the question becomes which
is the official Florida Man's story.I'm going three Florida man attacks with razor

(58:55):
blade, machete and argument over squegee. A Florida man squeeze sort of feel
to it, Yeah, it feelsoutrageous, right, final answer number three,
No, it's number one. Wow, Florida man claims he married pet
flamingo fish and wildlife officials seize thebird. Oh so there you have Okay,

(59:20):
wow, yeah, I wouldn't haveguessed that one. Yeah, I
mean it's possible. Well, nowI just got to stop right there.
All right, let's let's set upthe There are no prizes, by the
way, you just get to claimyou guessed right on Florida Man Factor fiction
on the Morning Show with Preston Scottand tell your friends. I want to

(59:45):
have a conversation with you by listeningto you. I don't plan on doing
much chatting other than to interject thethought. Here there, set up the
phone calls. This is your yoursegment here. I spent two hours on
two separate days, one hour eachday listening to the conversation between Tucker Carlson

(01:00:08):
and Aaron Rodgers. They covered amyriad of topics. They stumbled on one
subject for just a few minutes,and I found myself thinking, you know,
that's an interesting topic because they bothbelieve there's got to be a way
to build bridges to bring a dividednation back together in some way, shape

(01:00:31):
or form. Now, Aaron Rodgersis of the opinion that the federal government
is so deceitful and dishonest that therejust needs to be a full disclosure of
everything. Let the collapse follow,and let everybody unite on the fact that

(01:00:53):
the federal government can't be trusted,and to kind of rebuild through actions and
so forth, a better, morehonest government. I'm paraphrasing. I want
to circle back to not so muchthat as much as this their contention is,

(01:01:17):
there's got to be some bridge buildinggoing on. My question for you
is, do you agree? Doyou do you build? Do you try
to build bridges in your in yourlife with people that don't think anything like
you broadly? Do we do wetry to find ways to build bridges in

(01:01:44):
a divided country? You could say, I don't think this country's as divided
as we're made to think it is. I think the media makes us think
we're hugely divided. I think there'sa lot of common ground and that we
just don't had a chance to expressthat because the media is fanning, For
example, my contention, we're nota racially divided nation. We're not.

(01:02:08):
They're trying to make us one.But I don't think most of us have
an issue with race I really don't. Some do. They're divided the rest
of us. Bridge building eight fivezero two zero five WSLA eight five zero
two zero five ninety three fifty two. Your call's next hall, Good morning,

(01:02:49):
ruminators. You're just joining us.It's third hour here on the Morning
show and we're taking calls. Eightfive zero two zero five WFLA eight five
zero two zero five I ninety threefifty two. Kind of a deep discussion
point here. We are absolutely allcan agree divided as a nation. You

(01:03:14):
can argue whether it's fifty to fifty, sixty forty, whether it's forty forty
twenty, what those breakdowns look like, but we are divided. The question
that I have for you, doesa bridge need building? If so,

(01:03:38):
how how do you propose it getdone? If not, why not?
I want your thoughts. Eight fivezero two zero five WFLA. I don't
know how this is going to go. I don't know if you want to

(01:03:59):
talk about this. I thought itwas interesting and worth discussing, Jeff,
what are your thoughts? First off, I would agree with you that this
country may not be as divided asthe media and various actors, both foreign
and domestic. One us to believeit is. There are some people that
have very strong vested interests in dividingthis country so that they can control and

(01:04:24):
manipulate us, and I think that'simportant to bear in mind. I think
it's important for us to at leasttry to build bridges with people who are
genuinely interested in doing so. Ithink people that want to just give up
and allow this country to break apartand balkanize and descend into whatever chaos some
of these enemies of ours have plannedfor us would be. It's incredibly dangerous,

(01:04:47):
you know, I know you're talkingabout In the interview, he was
saying we should just let it burndown and then rebuild it. Well,
we have no control over how thingsfall up part, and it's no guarantee
we could rebuild anything after it's allsaid and done. So I think I
think it's important for us to atleast try to avert the kind of chaos

(01:05:10):
that could be unleashed in this countryif we were to balkanize. Let me
ask you a question. If weif we take the approach let's do what
we can, where and when andhow we can, how would you personally
approach that without you know, namingnames or anything like that, or sharing
you know, your personal circle ofof interactions. What does that look like

(01:05:33):
in like one person's life yours?Well, it's it's you know, it's
very difficult. We are first off, we're all really isolated, and we're
all on social media and that's notreality. And I think part of this,
the plan for me would be toactually talk with people in person,

(01:05:58):
you know, first off, putout put out dealers, and see if
anybody even wants to have the discussion. They might not want to. I
mean, I'm not saying we canfix this. I'm not saying we can
build bridges right right, but Ithink it's important for us to at least
try because, like I say,if this place burns down, if this
country burns down, we've got noguarantee that it'll ever come back to anything

(01:06:19):
like what it was agreed, Jeff, thanks very much, thoughtful. I
want to flesh this out just alittle bit. I think it's and I
might just take three calls this entirebecause Jeff and I chatted up that segment.

(01:06:40):
Jonathan's up next. What about you? What does this look like?
And what about the idea We're reallynot that divided. We're divided. Votes
show us that, but we're notthat divided. And so even that outlook

(01:07:00):
I think might might impact how youapproach the bridge building. It might inform
your decision making eight five zero twozero five to WFLA just your thoughts on
the whole subject, next to theMorning Show with Preston Scott chatting it up.

(01:07:31):
Does a bridge need building? Ifso, how what does that look
like in your life? If not, why not just getting your thoughts on
the subject, Jonathan, thanks forcalling in this morning. Yeah, good
morning morning. So my thought isreally just taking it back to federalism and

(01:07:58):
the Constitution and giving the governor thefederal government power that they were originally intended
to have. Right now, you'vegot a small group in Washington directing way
too many people than they have thebusiness of doing. How does that happen?

(01:08:25):
Hopes and prayers? Okay? Andwhile I would argue it requires a
legislator that believes it, and Idon't, and I think we're far from
that. Yeah. I mean,from a practical perspective, even if you
had one congressman one congresswoman, andthere are I believe there are some that

(01:08:47):
would agree with this sentiment. I'mstill more interested in you personally, in
the relationships that you have or don'thave. I mean, I don't know.
There are people that say they've lostfriends and family over the last few
years over politics. What does thislook like in your world personally? Well,

(01:09:08):
I would I would go at thatpoint, you've got to extend.
You've got to extend the family,the family mentality of taking care one of
them one another before before someone elseis forced to go to to the government
for help. Okay, so youryour view of bridge building is to just

(01:09:32):
look very candidly at the needs inyour own immediate circle and go from there.
Yeah, got you, got you, Jonathan, Thanks very much.
I appreciate the phone call. Let'sgo to Michael. Hi, Michael,
thanks for calling in Good morning pressing. How are you good. Does a
bridge need to be built? Idon't think it can be. I think
we're at the stage where we wereright before the revolution a third one of

(01:09:57):
the sport, the king a thirdone, and independence a third didn't give
it a crap about it. Ithink that's where in our country we have
so many people that just like,oh whatever, and you try to get
them engaged and point out facts andsay, look, this is what's happening,
and they I don't care. Idon't think bridge can be built because

(01:10:17):
I deal with people of the liberalpersuasion or whatever. I won't use the
word I call them, but anyway, they don't care. They are fanatical,
They are almost like the Palestinians,and they want to see conservatives destroyed.
And we need to get in themindset. Okay, we need to
win more people back to our sideand show them, look, this is

(01:10:39):
what's happening to your country. Whatkind of country do you want to live
in? So that's my view.I know you said third, third,
third, Mike, Do you thinkthis nation is as divided as it's portrayed?
No, because I believe the communistMarxist media wants to think, oh

(01:11:00):
divided, and and you know,and they also puff up their numbers saying,
well, everybody supports Joe Biden andthese few radicals don't support him,
and we need to destroy the radicals. That's what I was saying. They
they want conservatives or people who believein the constitution to be locked away or
shut up or silence. Yeah,yeah, I don't disagree, Michael,

(01:11:23):
Thanks very much. I appreciate yousharing your thoughts. Scott, Anthony,
you are next. What about you? I'll take calls all hour long if
you want to talk about this.I'd love to hear from some ladies.
I know you're out there. Whatabout your circle of friends? Do you
even talk about this stuff? Oris this all you talk about? Just

(01:11:46):
where our country is? See?I think there's both sides here. I
think there's some people they don't haveany of these discussions. I was mentioning
Tucker Carlson and Aaron Rodgers. Theywere saying, yeah, there's there's some
area is you just don't talk aboutstuff and there's but there's fewer of those.
Uh. The importance of the discussionwarrants the discussion. It's how you

(01:12:08):
have it? Eight five zero twozero five to b FLA. Let's do
it. See we can get throughfour calls in this segment here, pretty
broad topic. Is it time tobuild a bridge? Is our country is

(01:12:29):
divided as it is made the scene? Do we need to build a bridge?
And if so? Out all thosequestions and more. Scott, thanks
for being patient. What do youthink I agree with you? One of
your first callers, Jonathan, yousaid federalism is a is not working the
way it was intended, and Ithink it's because the federal government is addicted

(01:12:49):
to power and there needs to bea way to cut that power and have
consequences when they overreach into the state'srights. Another thing I believe is that
it was the people that want todivide the country. I think the media
plays a big role in that.I've done a small business and when I
speak to my when I find anopportunity, I think it's okay to speak

(01:13:12):
to my customer's politics. If theyhappen to in liberals leaning, then they'll
tell me something that's really abstract,like somebody's wanting to ban a book,
and I can't deny it. Butafter I go home and research and look
it up, I said, no, there's nothing to that or is different
than what they thought. If youremember about a year ago, I sent
you an email about having a discussionto a forum work left and right,

(01:13:36):
and you could have arbitrators. Aftersomebody makes a statement, they could say,
well, the fact is this.I think the big problem that's dividing
us is the media is feeding uslies. Fair enough, No, you
know, Scott, thank you.I appreciate it. Thoughtful comments. Let's
see what Anthony has for us.Good morning, sir, heys hate them

(01:13:59):
good It's been a repeat comment atthis point. The media is the biggest
preparatoriator of lies known to man.Period. Hey, It's also an exposure
thing. Like when I was inNew York, I was a Democrat.
I voted Democrat. I thought Democrat, Oh, you can't have guns,

(01:14:24):
and all all kinds of things,tax, tax, tax, And then
a little about little I got exposedto different things and things were changing my
mind. A couple of things happenedin New York that kind of made me
start moving more towards the right,more libertarian. And then I came down
here and I listened to you.You actually made me more You made me

(01:14:45):
more libertarian. And then from alibertarian, I lean a lot more conservative
now. And if I have friendsthat don't ever listen to anything that isn't
their particular brand of listening material oror reading material, you know, the
leftists or whatever, and those people, I can't talk to them about certain

(01:15:10):
things because I know they'll sit thereand they'll they'll oh, I can't be
friends with you. You know,I don't ever have that problem with you
know, conservatives, uh friends,but I do with with the people on
the left, but if they're exposed, Like my ex girlfriend was a diehard
leftist, and there she got exposedand she's like, I've got to vote
for Trump this time because of thevaccine. And she got she you know,

(01:15:35):
her thing was well, you knowit was it was my body,
my choice with her with her borishright. And then all of a sudden
it came, oh, it's notit's your body, but it's not your
choice with vaccines. And that openedher eyes a little bit and she started
looking into things and she realized,oh my god, Anthony was right this

(01:15:55):
whole time. They've been lying aboutTrump this entire time, you know.
And and but that's what it took. It took like a mixture event,
a world ending event almost from Anthony. Thank you, brother, I appreciate
it. That's great. We'll winthem over a little bit at a time.
You just got to speak truth.I suppose Dan, Hello, Hey,

(01:16:18):
how you doing pressing good? Ijust I think there is a bridge
that needs to be built, butI don't know that it's going to where
you have too many people that don'twant that bridge to be built. And
I don't think people understand how deepthe liberal toe hold is. I think

(01:16:39):
it started to get exposed when COVIDhappened and people had to start own schooling
their kids and they realized how muchthe children in the schools have been I
mean, there's no other work forit but inductrinated. Yep. And that
is not been addressed. It's stillgoing on in the schools. You have
more people pulling their schools out schoolchoice. But that's just in Florida.

(01:17:01):
You have the rest of the nationthat they don't have that where kids are
getting you know, I don't knowif you're the one that said it,
if you send your kids to Caesarto be educated, they're going to come
back to Roma, you know.And that's what's happening to our nation.
And I don't see. I don'tsee how it's going to get corrected.

(01:17:23):
To be honest with you, Ireally hope it gets corrected, but I
just don't I don't know how it'sgoing to happen. Gotcha, Thank you,
Dan, appreciate it all right,Greg. I want you to stick
around. We have other callers thatare calling in. I will extend this
for the rest of the hour.If you want to talk, I want

(01:17:44):
to give you your I've given everybodya liberal amount of time to get their
thoughts shared, and so Greg,I don't want to short change you.
You've been patient. If you canhang in there with me through the news
break, you will be first.And I promise you've got the time.
What about you? A five zerotwo zero five to b FLA. We're
talking about bridge building. Is thisnation as divided as we are being told

(01:18:10):
it is? That's next in theMorning Show. It's The Morning Show with
Preston Scott thirty five past the hour. Big Stories in the press Box,

(01:18:30):
brought to you I grow a creativemarketing and digital expertise. Big Story this
hour is our conversation. We're askingabout bridge building. Is America as divided
as it appears? And if there'sthis divide, do we need to do
something to try to repair the divide? To build a bridge? And Greg,
you have probably set a record here. Thanks so much. I want

(01:18:54):
to hear your thoughts. Hey,I just hope I can put all my
thoughts together here in rooting down.But uh, first of all, I'd
like to say that I don't thinkwe're asbody as the media makes us out,
makes us out to be. Okay, But uh with that, with
that said, uh, to builda bridge, you got to start on
both sides and meet in the middle. And the right, well, we'll

(01:19:18):
we'll have to concede and concede andconcede and concede their thoughts and beliefs.
But the left won't concede anything tomeet in the middle. So a bridge
cannot be built as far as I'mconcerned. But uh, those songs,
Uh, you got to stand forsomething or your fault for anything. Yeah,
we've got to stand for our principles. We've got to stamp for God.

(01:19:40):
We've got stam for the Bible,we've got stam for it word,
and we got to stanford the Constitution. And if we pray for these people,
maybe something can happen. But Uh, other than that, I don't
I don't see how we can builda bridge. Greg. Let me ask
you, take advantage of the factyou've been so patient with me. Let
me get your thoughts on this.In your personal life, the circle of
people that you hang out with,the people that you interact with, what

(01:20:04):
what opportunities exist day to day foryou personally to work on any level of
bridge building. I don't know.I just I just try to present myself
in a godly manner and let peoplesee see that in me, okay,

(01:20:27):
and hope that it can that itcan it can rub off the showing them
that hey, what I'm doing isright or I'm trying to do right.
And uh, I hope, Ihope that me being a positive influence compete
off of that. Fair enough,Yeah, yeah, fair enough, Greg,
Thanks so much. I appreciate youbeing some patient with me and good

(01:20:50):
job sharing your your ideas on this. And you're welcome to call in folks
eight five zero two zero five tob F l A. But I'm not
going to belabor it. I've setaside this hour if need be, and
you're welcome the way in on it. I think you know, as I'm
listening to all of you talk andI well, let me just share a
few emails that I've gotten here.Jeff wrote in I think it's Jeff,

(01:21:17):
Constitution should be the bridge that bringsus all together. But we have many
trying to destroy the value of whatit was supposed to mean. We have
to weed out those trying to destroyit. In a sense, we need
to clear the bridge that's been createdalready. Raymond. He talks a lot

(01:21:44):
about social media, but then hesays this, should we build bridges,
Yes, as long as we canpave those bridges with the skins of the
people that disagree with me and usetheir bones as structural engineering group. Mark
writes in we need to get backto understanding we are what we are as

(01:22:10):
Americans, the basics of our unity. We've always had a diversity in customs,
beliefs, lifestyles. We learn toget along pretty well. Up to
now we have very powerful, influentialpeople trying to divide us and get us
in fighting and distracted with relatively pettythings. We can just get it in
our heads that even with all ourdifferences, we're Americans. Go to the

(01:22:33):
ball games together, we go tomovies together, we go to them all
together. We can get along prettybleep well. Thank you, Mark.
You know, he kind of hiton something there, but not quite.

(01:22:54):
I think our common language is beinglost because we're not forcing people to assimilate
by learning the language in this country. That's not helping. Bill, Jeffrey,
You're next. You're just talking aboutit here in the Morning Show with
Preston Scott. Preston Scott, goahead, make my day on News Radio

(01:23:21):
one hundred point seven, doubly UFLA. We got time for about three more
calls here, So Bill, Jeffrey, John, you are going to get
the final three slots. Let's startwith Bill in the order of the longest
way. Hi, Bill, Hey, how you doing? Preston Good?
What do you think about all this? You know, for the last several

(01:23:44):
years, it just seems like we'veyou know, gone down so fast.
It just seems like a really coordinatedeffort. And I'm thinking from a human
standpoint, it's too coordinated and toowell planned. And I'm thinking it's a
spiritual problem. And you know,the Bible says we don't fight against flesh
and blood, but against principalities andpowers of the air. And I think,

(01:24:06):
no doubt, you know, wecan attack each of these problems.
But I think what we really needto do as far as bridge building,
is pray for revival in this countryand try to get people back to God
in the Bible, and then letthat fix the problems, the social problems
of the country. I don't thinkwe're going to get anywhere just butting heads

(01:24:29):
and you know, pounding our petpeeves. You know, I think we
are too divided for that. Butif we let God do it, I
think it'll start from the individual andfrom the inside out, and you know,
the changes that we want to seeas conservatives will just happen because our

(01:24:50):
focuses on God. Thank you,Bill, I appreciate that. Let's go
to Jeffrey. Hi, Jeffrey,you're up. Hey, Thanks a lot,
Christ And I hope I don't expandthis out too far, but I
would say that, you know,in August of nineteen forty five, the
human race got noticed that should wenot find common values, I'll back up

(01:25:15):
and say I think the division inour country is reflective of if you look
any place in the world today,there's great division. But I think we
have reached a point in our speciewhere we have to find and we have
to accept the fact that we sharea common planet, and we must in

(01:25:40):
turn develop values which we all asa specie and understand and share with each
other. Otherwise it's obvious that thehuman specie now has the ability to put
our own gun to our head anddestroy ourselves. And as far as the

(01:26:03):
planet may be concerned, this maynot be a bad thing. So we're
on notice, and if our countryand other countries in the world cannot find
common values that all peoples can share, we may go down that road as
other species have by our own extinction. Thank you, Jeffrey, let's go.

(01:26:25):
Final caller here is John. Hi, John mortipressants. Uh. Yeah,
it should be a bridge. Weshould we should be able to articulate
our full beliefs succinctly with someone.But like an earlier caller said, uh,
you know, so many people aredeceived by the media. But my
question is, how can how canyou reason with someone that when you've been

(01:26:51):
deceived by the media and you stillkeep going back to them for your information.
I mean, you've got to havea cool belief just like the gospel
you have, and it doesn't takea theologian to tell it and spread it.
The guy that said we were dividedin thirds, I believe is very

(01:27:12):
close to right. And the colorthat said revival as only hope, I
think he's right too. You alwayshave the bridge open, but like a
like a fence, good fences makegood neighbors. But the fence needs to
have a gate in it and needsto swing both ways. Thank you,
sir, appreciate it. Thanks toall of you, and to those that
didn't get in, I appreciate youcalling and giving it a shot. Feel

(01:27:33):
free to send me your thoughts Preston, as others have Preston at iHeartRadio dot
com, and perhaps I'll hoop herethey come. Perhaps I'll get a chance
at sharing these emails in the comingdays. Just one of the get your

My friends, he built the LegoStar Wars Model seven five one nine
to two Millennium Falcon, which featuresseven thousand, five hundred and forty one

(01:29:47):
pieces, and he built it ina record breaking time of seven hours,
thirty six minutes and thirty seven seconds. I've got to read the quote.
I really enjoyed Lego to begin with. So once I started this build,

(01:30:11):
I kind of locked in and Iwas in the zone. And before I
knew it, seven and a halfhours was over. This is what makes
life worth living, just seeing storiesof a dude building the Legos and saying

(01:30:33):
I was in the zone. Yeah, man, I just I just got
going. And you know, youdon't think about blisters, you don't,
you don't you don't think about theinjuries. Just felt it in my veins.
Yeah, you just gotta you gottago, man, you gotta go.
You know, you're just you're inthe zone. You're not really aware
of anything that's going on around you. All I was missing was something like
