Episode Transcript

(00:07):
Cause that's what we do. Godbless America and welcome Monday, May sixth,
on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you.
Show fifty one fifty two a twelveoh two of America held hostage. He's
Grand Allen. I'm Preston Scott.Hello, ruminators. Hope you had a

(00:31):
lovely weekend. Played a little golfon Saturday, got some work done around
the house. My sweet wife returnedhome from a two week mission trip to
northern Ohio. Bless her heart,she makes that drive in one day.

(00:56):
She is a road warrior. Butthe trip home was mercifully brief by comparison
to the usual, and so greatto have her back home. But welcome
to the program. New broadcast week. Tom Cravin, one of my favorite
authors, will join me in thethird hour. Doctor Joe scheduled next hour.

(01:21):
More details on January sixth have comeout as a result of more hours
of video being released. We'll dissectthat in our verse today James five point
sixteen. Therefore, confess your sinsto one another and pray for one another
that you may be healed. Ithink sometimes we hear that word healed,

(01:45):
and we immediately jump to physical injuries, illness, et cetera. And while
that certainly is part of the equation, I think for most the healing is
very very different healing of the heart. It's healing of the mind, healing

(02:12):
of one's very spirit. Events inlife, different things that happen, Different
experiences can scar can leave really deepimpactful wounds. So confess, pray that

(02:38):
you may be healed. And thenthere's this. The prayer of a righteous
person has great power as it isworking. How is one righteous in Christ?
Right relationship with Christ avails one ofthe righteousness that's referred to here Where

(02:58):
your prayers are a fact, it'sa really nice little nugget that you can
unpack and dig deep and do somedeep introspection. Ten minutes after the hour's
open up, the American Patriots allin fact, look at that it is

(03:20):
open. We're ready. Next onThe Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twelve
minutes past May sixth, eighteen sixtyone, Arkansas seceeds from the Union eighteen

(03:57):
ninety six on the Potomac River,Samuel Langley demonstrates his aerodrome, the world's
first mechanically propelled heavier than air machinedriven by a small steam engine. The
unmancraft flies three quarters of a mileLangley Air Force Base. Anybody exactly?

(04:19):
Nineteen thirty seven, Wow, theHindenburg exploded in Lakehurst, New Jersey,
killing thirty six of the ninety sevenpeople aboard. First of all, when
you look at the video of that, your first question is where is everybody

(04:42):
on that thing? You're really notquite sure where it is. I think
it was the Indiana Jones and theLast Crusade where they kind of placed a
zeppelin into the movie and you sawthese rather posh travel and dining quarters on

(05:06):
board these huge airships. But theHindenburg, when you look at it,
and there's been speculation for years onwhat caused the thing to explode. It's
one of the famous, most famousradio broadcasts ever. They're covering the landing

(05:29):
of the Hindenburg and then the announcer, Oh, the humanity of it all.
I mean, it's just iconic.But you wonder how did the majority
survive? When you look at that, it's truly amazing. Two years later,
nineteen thirty nine, on May sixth, John Steinbeck wins the Pulitzer Prize

(05:49):
for Grapes of Wrath and in nineteenforty one, this is interesting, kind
of go back and set this up. Hope, comedian great entertainer funny funny
man, got a suggestion from asponsor. The suggestion broadcast his radio program

(06:13):
from March Field and Army Air Basein Riverside, California. He said,
why should we drag the whole showdown there, but he consented, and
on May sixth, nineteen forty one, he performed for hundreds of cheering troops,
and that show changed his life.He couldn't get out of his mind

(06:34):
the appreciative response the young recruits gavehim. Seven months later, Japan attacked
Pearl Harbor. Throughout the rest ofthe war, with two exceptions, Hope
aired his shows from US military installations. He went wherever the soldiers were fighting.
He went to Europe, North Africa, the Pacific. John Steinbeck,

(06:56):
who we just mentioned, wrote,when the time for recognition and of service
to the nation in wartime comes tobe considered, Bob Hope should be high
on the list. He gets laughterwherever he goes from men who need laughter.
After the war, he became oneof the most popular entertainers in the
country and also one of the mostsuccessful immigrants. His family came from England

(07:20):
when he was a boy through EllisIsland. He never forgot the troops for
more than half a century, throughthe Cold War, Korean War, Vietnam
Golf, Persian Golf War. Hewent and brought his show, a variety
show, comedy show, musical actsto the troops. And so he received
the Presidential Medal of Freedom six yearsbefore he died in nineteen ninety seven honorary

(07:48):
veteran. First time it had everbeen bestowed that award. So congratulations to
Bob Hope posthumously and what a greatLegacyventeen minutes now past the hour, It's
the Morning Show with Preston Scott.All right, twenty one past twenty two

(08:18):
past the hour, Morning Hope.You had a nice weekend? Grant?
Are you in? Are you?Are you still in relationship with Disney?
Nope? Canceled Disney plus We're notgoing Nope because you and your sweetheart loved

(08:39):
going to Disney, as did asdid many as did my wife, and
I love love going to Disney.Not anymore. The last time we went
was kind of a bummer. Whatwould draw you back? I don't know.
Is it ideological? At this point, is it crowds, Is it

(09:03):
a combination of all those things.It's even though crowds are down because they've
upset so many people and their priceshave gotten really high, but they actually
down are Yeah, they're they're themepark businesses down. Here's why I'm asking,
would this draw you? And isthis a play to win some people

(09:31):
back? Disney World on June ninthat Epcot, Now, let's back up
for a second. Epcot is generallynot a big attractor. It's a place
that's older, older folks like Epcot. There are some good rides there,

(09:54):
not like the same rides that youfind in the other parks, but there
still are some good attractions there.Epcot has kind of carved itself out as
the place for older folks to go. But Epcot is I think the way

(10:15):
Disney looks at it is a bitof a throwaway. Yeah, we'll throw
a little something there here and there, but generally it's it's about the Movie
Studio and the Magic Kingdom and maybethe Animal Place Kingdom. I think Animal
Kingdom is actually lower on the totempole maybe than Epcot. Yeah, okay,

(10:37):
fair enough. June sixth, anew exhibit featuring the artwork of former
President George W. Bush. Theexhibit will go for twelve months in the
American Adventure Pavilion. Portraits of Courage, a Commander's tribute to America's Warriors.

(10:58):
Now, George, he's actually apretty good painter, as this is what
Disney released. As guests walk throughthe exhibit, they will encounter the faces
and the hearts of those who answeredthe nation's call and learn of their bravery
on the battlefield, their journey torecover, and the continued leadership and contributions
they make as civilians. I thinkto a lot of people, even though

(11:26):
many of us know George W.Bush as a moderate, he's not a
conservative. I think he's a goodman, But I don't necessarily think he
was a great president. I thinkhe was a good president at an awful
time when you look at nine toeleven, based on what we know at
this point, I mean, whoknows, right, but that American Pavilion,

(11:52):
that exhibit, the American Adventure hasreally just sort of died. People
don't go there. The last timeCynthia and I were there, I was
heartbroken at how few people were inthe you know, automatronic neotronic whatever that

(12:18):
thing is called Display of the AmericanPresidents, And you know, I don't
know if Ben Franklin was there,and then you've got I think Mark Twain
and it's you know, I mean, but there was no one there,
hardly anybody who was in this hugeauditorium and years before it would be packed.

(12:43):
It's just is this an effort tobring people back to that exhibit and
to bring some people back to Disneythat have been just pushed away by the
ridiculous forcing of the LGBTQ whatever intoits products. It's films, it's programming,

(13:07):
it's parks. Will it work.I don't think it will, but
anyway, just putting it out thereso you know, if you're interested.
George does like to paint and he'spretty good at it, so who knows
if you're into that. There yougo. Twenty seven passt just do some

(13:28):
news, weather traffic. Come backwith the Big Stories The Morning Show with
Preston Scott's on News Radio one hundredpoint seven WUFLA Big Stories in the press

(13:50):
Box brought to you by Grove CreativeMarketing and digital Expertise. Buckle Up,
Kids, O'Keeffe Media Group James O'Keefe. I'm just I'm stunned. Undercover reporter

(14:13):
sits down with CIA project manager mjod Siic. He is the project manager
working in cyber ops told an undercoverjournalist that the director of the CIA would

(14:33):
routinely keep information from Trump when hewas president, quoting so the agencies kind
of like all got together and said, we're not going to tell Trump.
Director of the CIA would keep informationfrom him. We kept information from him
because he's the biggest bleeping idiot,said Trump. And his Trump is a

(14:56):
Russian asset. He's owned by thebleeping Russians. This is what he's saying
on tape. It is clear asday. He is clear as day.
So Keith walks up to him andhe denies everything. He clams up.
He said, is this you?He goes, well, kind of looks
like me, but he wouldn't sayit was him. He is bragging about

(15:20):
his top security, top top levelsecurity clearance. But I want you to
just keep this firmly in mind.The CIA is prohibited by law to work
in the United States. That's theFBI's job now, FBI spying on US

(15:43):
citizens, monitoring the president, etcetera. That's a whole nother story.
The CIA is international, not domestic. Now, what have I told you
about the CIA directors? Oh,and by the way, this would include

(16:04):
Mike Pompeo. Trump is asked aboutthis revelation. Mister President, your reaction
to this videotape of the CI individualtalking about how the CIA director is withheld
information from you? What's shocking tosee how stupid somebody can be. If
this guy is for real, youwant to get rid of him CIA Central

(16:27):
Intelligence Agency. This is not anintelligent guy to be openly talking to a
woman who walks up and starts askinghim questions and talking that way. So
he may be bragging or showing offto some young lady. I have no
idea the conditions under which he spoke, but I get rid of him real
fast. If he's for real,get rid of him. That's what you

(16:51):
get is this is now. Thisis next level creepiness. And I'll be
honest with you. This starts tospeak to me about the willingness to do
whatever it takes to not allow Trumpto be in the White House, and
that means anything anything. Florida GovernorRhme DeSantis sends a letter to Lloyd to

(17:22):
Austin, the Defense Secretary. TheAir Force is wanting to federalize a squadron
of the Florida National Guard without theapproval of DeSantis, which is it's not
allowed. It is certainly not decorum, it is not protocol. You consult
with the state, you consult withthe governor, you get some form of

(17:48):
approval from the governor. The goalis to bring the squadron under the direct
control of the US Space Force,and it would be flying in the face
of precedent going back at least acentury. And then lastly, Joe Biden
has a new plan that he hasunveiled to give a one hundred thousand illegal

(18:12):
immigrants free healthcare under the Affordable CareAct. They are the quote dreamers of
the twenty twelve Deferred Action for ChildhoodArrivals program. Previously, illegals are banned
from getting this type of subsidy,but illegals would be able to receive federal

(18:37):
subsidies based on their level of income, which can qualify them for receiving free
medical coverage even if you extend benevolence. They were just brought here as minors.
It wasn't them. How long havethey had to become American citizens anyway
once again. And this, bythe way, scheduled to go into effect.

(19:00):
Guess when November one. What happensjust a few days later? Oh
yeah, the presidential election. Morebribery. All of this is about bribing
voters. But they're illegals, theycan't vote, right. It's the Morning
Show with Preston Scott on News Radioone hundred point seven Double UFLA or on

(19:25):
NewsRadio double UFLA, Panama City dotCom, Cause and Effect, sewing and
reaping, take your pick. Austin, Texas has had a bit of a

(19:52):
glow around it some would some woulddescribe it as kind of like a halo
and angelic type glory around it,especially since COVID tech sector moving in and
around Austin. It's the home ofut University of Texas, and of course
it is the bastion of illiberalism inthe state of Texas, a fairly red

(20:18):
state is as blue as blue canbe in Austin. Well, they've got
problems in Austin and the Tallahassee.Residents in this audience that have a significant
set of elections would be very,very smart to pay attention to what's happening

(20:44):
in Austin. Home prices are plunging, companies are fleeing, and Austin is
suffering oracles moving its headquarters out ofthe city. Test is pulling back after
a rapid expansion. Almost twenty fivepercent of the commercial office space is vacant,

(21:11):
and real estate prices have fallen backfrom the pandemic levels. You had
all kinds of people moving to Austin, and then all of a sudden,
it just is stopping. After atwelve year streak of the fastest growing largest

(21:33):
metro area in the US, Austinlost that last year. The office vacancy
rate is five percentage points higher thanthe US average. Home prices down eighteen
percent. The city still ranks asone of the least affordable housing markets.

(21:57):
But with so many big business isnow pulling out of Austin and relocating or
downsizing, it speaks to the futureand what may or may not happen.
Since in twenty twenty two, Listennow sixty four companies either move their headquarters

(22:18):
or moved significant ops to Austin.That number dropped to thirty seven, and
this year they're expecting eleven. Metadecided not to move into new office space
in downtown Austin and sought the sublease. The Austin American Statesman reported that Google

(22:41):
still hasn't moved into a thirty fivestory sales shape building at least that overlooks
downtown Ladybird Lake named after Lady BirdJohnson, former First Lady Lyndon's wife.
Here's my in bringing this up.If you pay attention, a community can

(23:08):
only do so much and lasts solong under Democrat only leadership. It's just
a matter of time. Now.Tallahassee is, as you know, in
Leon County. Leon County is oneof two or three really really blue counties

(23:30):
in the state of Florida. Theothers are kind of purplish, but Gadsden
County, Leon County deep dark blue. But there are differences in the types
of Democrats that you can elect.You can elect rather somewhat moderate that are

(23:51):
practical and pragmatic, and you canelect ridiculous progressive, elitist, socialist haters
of business and so unless it's theirmoney and so that's what you have.

(24:12):
You just have to look at what'shappening in other cities and just understand that
it's a matter of time. Thestability of state government, the stability of
the universities, only takes you sofar. Learn people learn. I know,

(24:38):
we were just talking about the electionsand early prediction Chicago is going to
be an absolute burned down. It'sit's going to be nineteen sixty eight all
over again. Right now, antiIsrael protesters are suing the City of Chicago

(25:08):
because they're being turned down for quoteparade permits and permits to gather during the
d n C. The Democrat NationalConvention groups filing the lawsuit Chicago Alliance against

(25:32):
Racist Political Repression. How ironic isthat they want to continue chanting anti Semitic,
hateful rants and they call themselves theChicago Alliance against Racist and Political Repression
the anti war coalition who started thatwar in the Yeah, never mind,

(25:52):
Students for a Democratic Society at theUniversity of Illinois all in supportive and ampments
at the University of Chicago. Theyfiled a lawsuit Tuesday last week in US
District Court because they want to engagein peaceful political speech and seek to exercise
their First Amendment rights at the conventionto deliver their political messages directly to President

(26:17):
Obama. City of Chicago though,is not granting them that they are claiming,
they're trying to protect Biden. They'refeasting on themselves. Was it that
you that was saying last week?Let them feast on themselves, let them
let them eat each other up.The idea of peaceful protests is long gone

(26:42):
now because of some protests in otherareas doesn't mean that that can be used
against them. But yeah, we'llsee where that goes. What I'm really
enjoying is the response to the protestersat schools. For example, a judge,
a US district Court judge in Arizonadenied seventy two Arizona State University students

(27:11):
motioned to have their college suspensions lifted. Judge said, yeah, no,
they're saying that it causes irreparable harm. I guess now I'm not speaking on
behalf of the judge. The judgesaid he wasn't convinced of that evidence.

(27:36):
The students have said that they theyare demanding to have any charges dropped against
them, and it's similar to what'shappened at Columbia Columbia. The law review

(27:56):
demands the school canceled tests for studentstraumatized by NYPD. The Columbia Law Review
issued a statement last week calling onColumbia Law School to cancel final exams because
of the violence that students had witnessedleft them irre, irrevocably shaken and unable

(28:19):
to focus. I'm laughing because thesesnowflakes, these little marshmallows, they are
the ones that brought this on themselves, and they want their suspensions lifted.
They look they should all be kickedout of school. They should be expelled.

(28:44):
It shouldn't even be a discussion.Bye bye, But you gotta laugh.
Maybe happy Monday to you. Iknow for many it's Monday work day.

(29:12):
We'll try to make it a littlebit better. Stick around, will
at least inform you, make youaware of some things, and knowledge can
be power. This Morning Show withPreston Scott, He's Grant Allen, I'm

(29:36):
Preston. And later on this hour, doctor Joe Camps, We've got some
fyis for you. Public admission comingfrom a very unusual place. And then
in the third hour, Tom Cravenco authoring a new book called Throne of
Grace that we will discuss. Heis an exceptional He is an author who

(30:00):
writes of history. He much prefersbeing considered an author than a historian.
I think David McCullum might have preferredit the other way around, but I
don't know. I never had thechance to ask him. I came within
a whisker of getting David McColl onthe show, but sadly did not.

(30:26):
But Tom claven is in my topechelon of authors whose books I have.
This is kind of important. Stuff. Came across a deep dive on new
details from half of the video thathas been released now from January sixth,

(30:48):
forty thousand hours in all, twentythousand has been released. There are a
few things here that have been notedby Epic Times since Mike Johnson ordered this
video to be released. We're halfwaythere. Let's look first at Ashley Babbitt.

(31:12):
Who is she? Ashley Babbitt isthe Air Force veteran that was shot
and killed thirty five years of age. The January sixth committee, run by
Democrats, paid no attention to it. Nothing. You would think that the

(31:33):
shooting of a protester that resulted inthe death of that protester would at the
very least get the attention of thecommittee, if not criminal charges for the
guy who shot her because he hadno reason to zero zero, He followed

(31:55):
no protocols, and he's faced nocharges and in fact has been promoted.
Inside the hallway, just after twopoint forty in the afternoon, Lieutenant Michael
Bird slipped from his hidden position witha glock pistol aimed at the protester's feet
to his right. Mss Babbitt spenther few minutes in that hallway trying to

(32:22):
keep the crowd from spiraling further intomob behavior. Former Air Force military officers
shouted at three Capitol Police officers tocall expletive for help. She in fact
punched a rioter, Zachary Alam,for smashing several windows. She hit a

(32:49):
fellow protester in the face. However, mister Bird lunged forward, and because
she was climbing through a window thatwas still quite a ways from him,
with nothing in her hands, hepumped a shot in her chest. He
was not in imminent threat or danger. He was still protected. He did

(33:16):
not say stop, He did notsay hold I have a gun. He
did not indicate any sense that hewas going to fire. Response came just
before two point fifty. In termsof on video. The first response calls

(33:38):
for Abbot. She was placed intoan ambulance rushed to the South barricade at
three h two in the afternoon.She was pronounced dead thirteen minutes later.
After the shooting, police swarm inand around the Capitol. Bird made a

(34:04):
radio call after he shot miss Babbittat two forty four, claiming he was
under fire and was preparing to returnfire. That was a lie that was
never ever true. Did you knowthat? Did you know that he was

(34:27):
claiming that he was being fired uponand so he returned fire. None of
First, it never happened. Second, it's not corroborated by anything. It's
not corroborated by any form of videowhatsoever. In truth, his was the

(34:47):
only shot fired. No officers wereever confronted with guns or gunfire. More
to come from this video, PrestonScott sixty percent of the time. It
works every time on news radio onehundred point SEVENUFLA. So to set the

(35:15):
stage here. At two forty fourin the afternoon on January sixth, after
Ashley Babbitt was shot, the officerthat shot her, Lieutenant Michael Byrd,

(35:36):
places a call on his radio claimingthat he was under fire and preparing to
return fire. That is categorically false. According to the video record of what
happened. The video shows Ashley Babbittbeing shot. It's timestamped. There are

(36:04):
other videos that show it. It'ssignificant because there were no other guns being
fired period. But what it doesis it changes the whole dynamic of the
area. Security videos showed the anxietyand fear on the faces of police who

(36:25):
moved through the Capitol with weapons drawn. At this point, an armored cat
at two forty seven from the Bureauof ATF pulled into the south barricade.
A six person SWAT team rushed thesouth door went upstairs at two forty eight.

(36:47):
One minute later, seven police officersfrom Capitol Police with guns drawn,
move up the house gallery stairs.That's captured on camera seventy two. Eighteen
minutes later, protesters were their handsup streamed down the stairway on the third
floor near the house gallery. Surprise, protesters were met by SWAT officers with

(37:09):
raised M four rifles down the hallway. House members and staff who had been
holed up in the gallery seating sectionswere led downstairs by officers with guns drawn.
All of this on tape. Butdo you see how the firing of
that weapon changed the whole dynamic ofthe event. Several fights did break out

(37:32):
between some of the witnesses to theshooting and police. Outright brawl broke out
between police and protesters who'd been inthe hallway when Miss Babbitt was shot.
You can imagine everyone is on edgeat that point. The video is very

(37:53):
clear that while there were many peacefulprotesters, not everybody was. There was
some violence, and it was perpetratedby protesters. You remember me commenting that

(38:15):
it looked to me in the initialvideo that I had seen outside the building,
that it looked like an intentional volleyof tear gas canisters were fired into
the police by their own, bytheir fellow officers, which caused them to

(38:38):
pull back, which allowed the crowdto move forward. It's corroborated here.
Misfired tear gas canisters exposed hundreds ofpeople who didn't have gas masks, including
the faces of police officers. Theyweren't prepared, wasn't supposed to be fired.
There was no protocol followed in anyof this. They have policies in

(39:04):
place for these kinds of situations andthese kinds of escalations. It looked as
though from my eye that there wasan actual intentional effort to cause police,
most of whom were not in onany plan in my opinion, to fall
back to give up their defensive positions. There's more. There's people being shoved

(39:28):
off of ledges twenty feet down.They filed lawsuits claiming intent to murder because
guy was trying to hang a flag. He got pushed down a twenty foot
high ledge and has been injured.Police shows a guy named Derek Vargo,

(39:51):
thirty four years old, being shovedoff the ledge. There's a lawsuit that
was filed on the twenty fourth ofApril. We're just beginning to learn,
and questions haven't been asked. Theycertainly weren't asked with the first go round
of the January sixth committee. I'minfrequently deciding to do a segment that I'm

(40:27):
just labeling FYI, just some randomthings just to file away. I'm just
I'm brutally consistent on that in myworld, I just isn't that interesting.
Just make note of that, justkind of this is one of those to

(40:52):
me couple in fact, the AustralianStock Exchange listed in vestment Bank McCrory.
I'm guessing that's how it's pronounced.We'll listen to. This will discontinue over
the counter cash and check services laterthis month. They are going fully digital,

(41:19):
phasing out cash. Customers will notbe able to write or deposit personal
checks, deposit or request bank checks, make contributions or payments by a check.

(41:40):
The fully digital world of finance isreally scary. Let's just think for
a second what happens. Government tracksevery single henny you spend and with whom

(42:07):
this is. This is just oneof those that you go, well,
huh. Honestly, Australia is thetype of place, based on what I
saw during COVID, that would gocashless completely. Mmmmmmm m m m.

(42:35):
Then there's the service charges that bankscharge for their debit cards credit cards to
be used, so they're making moneyon that as well by outlying cash.
It's just something just yeah, notnot not down with that one. Then

(43:01):
there's Phiser. Get this. Pfiser'sprofit plunged forty percent year over year in
the first quarter, with Pfiser blamingfalling sales of its vaccine and anti viral
treatment. That don't tell me theywere banking on that. I mean,

(43:27):
they weren't planning on people continually havingto have the vaccine were they doesn't that
strike you as being I mean thatit's news and that they're blaming falling sales
on people, not first people justnot not feeling comfortable with the vaccine as

(43:53):
many of us, that's the positionwe held. We held to the science.
The science is right. The majorityof doctors, hospitals, medical facilities
were wrong. And as we'll hearlater on in the show, the evidence

(44:13):
is coming out Astrozenica admitting that it'sCOVID nineteen vaccine causes blood clot issues that
cause art problems. I just,man, it's hard to not drop and
I told you so. And lastly, guess where a cyber attack just took

(44:35):
place in a voting registration system?Coffee County, Georgia. That's where President
Trump alleged fraud taking place in twentytwenty. It appears as though the it
forced local government officials to sever theirconnection with the state voter registration system.
They have been hacked. What systemdo they use? Dominion Preston Scott on

(45:06):
Use Radio one point seven Double uflaah halfway through the Morning Show with Preston

(45:27):
Scott from Monday May sixth. Howare you. It'll be a good weekend.
Hey, I just I got tointerject this real quickly while I'm thinking
of it. Yesterday, I afterchurch ran a quick errand of the store
before a little combined birthday celebration fora couple of the boys in the family.
And I don't know if they feelripped off, but you know,

(45:51):
having to celebrate the birthdays together,it's kind of like Christmas being your birthday.
It's sort of like, I don'tknow anyway, I see this lady
nearly plow through a few folks atthe crosswalk at a public's. It wasn't
like a close call. It wasjust like, she's not going to be

(46:14):
bothered by you. And I madea prediction before I I just snap judgment
call flaming illiberal guaranteed people in thecrosswalk. No, no, no,
I was here first. I'm II if enough. I wasn't here first.

(46:38):
I'm I'm not. I'm in acar. They don't have a right
away. Forget what the signs sayshe drove by. Her bumper stickers were
all Bernie Sanders, Biden, Harris, Climate, you name it. It's
like check mark. I called it. She probably doesn't put her shopping carts

(47:05):
away either. Big Stories in thepress Box brought to you by Grova Creative
marketing and digital expertise grov Groova.This is a little bit of an overreach
the The governor has sent a noteto Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense for

(47:29):
the United States, as well asother congressional officials. The Air Force is
requesting to federalize a squadron of FloridaNational Guard without the approval of Florida's governor.
The Air Force sought congressional approval totake control of the Florida National Guard

(47:53):
one hundred and fourteenth Electronic Warfare Squadron. Why why and why would they bypass
DeSantis? The goal is bringing thesquadron under the direct control of the United

(48:15):
States Space Force. I always feellike Doctor Evil from Austin Power Movies that
I need the finger, quotes SpaceForce Desantus wrote, if adopted, the
proposal would flout more than a centuryof precedent and undermine federal law protections for

(48:36):
state control of their national guard forces. They also said that US law prohibits
the reorganization of National guardsmen by thefederal government without the governor's consent. What
are they up to? Joe Bidenhanding out obamacaredy with legal immigrants one hundred
thousand DACA members. I guess you'dcall them. They're legals, though they're

(49:06):
not entitled to. So he's justchanging the rules, just doing what he
wants. And James O'Keefe released videolast week. Amjad facsi is how he
pronounced it, made statements to anundercover reporter. Man, what is it

(49:28):
about dudes bragging about their work witha woman on the other side of the
table. Oh my gosh, thisguy works for Deloitte, he says,
But he claimed to be a projectmanager working in cyber ops with the CIA
and for the CIA with a toplevel of security clearance. And inside the

(49:57):
undercover video, he laughingly claims howthe CIA director kept information from Trump all
the time. He said, quote, the agency's kind of like all got
together and said, we're not goingto tell Trump now. Besides the obvious,
how about the fact that you've gotthe CIA working domestically that's supposed to

(50:17):
be against the law. They're notallowed just saying forty minutes past the hour,
doctor Joe's standing by. Next you'rein the Morning show with Preston Scott.
It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Forty one past the our Healthy

(50:39):
Expectations. We should have them joiningus. Doctor Joe Cams, Good morning,
sir, Hey, good morning.How are you pressing? Terrific?
And you sir, I'm doing fine, Just getting ready to wait for it
to heat up a little bit here. I think you'd be very hot four
or five weeks. But no,no, I hate that. But you

(51:00):
know, if you live in Floridalike we have, it does happen.
I wanted to talk a little bitabout screaming for colon cancer. I really
have never really talked about this,but there are a couple of new recommendations,
one that start at age forty fiveand two, and I think this
is important. If you're over theage of seventy six, it's almost suggested

(51:24):
that you don't have any screening.It's not going to be beneficial for you.
And so basically the people that shouldconsider screening of those that have a
family history of corected cancer, historyof inflammatory bio disease, things like all
sort of collibers and Crohn's disease,patients that have something called familial polyplosis that

(51:47):
means the history of having multiple problemswithin the colon, or someone that has
received radiation to the abdominarium. Andso, as you know, there are
many has to out there. Youknow, I like to look at the
quaid, which is a test forblood. That's probably the most common thing
that's done. But there are structuraland visual exams such a sigmatoscopy and colonoscopy,

(52:10):
And now something that's being utilized moreand more is you can get a
CT callography, which is a CTof your colon to look for polyps.
And so things have gotten in myopinion, much easier. However, as
you know, if you've ever hadthis, the worst thing about this is
the prepu. It can be.It can almost belt to deal with.

(52:37):
You chuckled there, Yeah, Idid, because every time I dread having
to do that. I mean,I can't think of anything worse than doing
that. But certainly this is afairly common cancer and the screenings are relatively
routine, and there is some controversyrun around this subject about when you can

(53:01):
stop the screaming process, and certainlythe recommendation may be moving from a five
year wind to more like ten tofifteen years. So I think some of
the earlier frequency of screenings are goingto change, and I like to keep
up with these things because this isa basic disease that certainly people are sort

(53:25):
of have an understanding of what generallyneeds to be done, and if you're
in doubt, go see your primarycare physician. But this is one that
I think that screaming for co directorcancer is relatively easy, and just understanding
the guidelines and the risk is somethingthat one should take under accounter as they

(53:45):
think about their overall health. Andthat's my story this morning. When you're
sticking to it, when you talkabout considering the risks and so forth,
are you talking about the risks ofthe screening or the risks of the disease
the risk of the disease. Yeah, I mean the screening is fairly straightforward,

(54:07):
although it's not pleasant to deal with, but usually it's fairly straightforward.
It's pretty quick, and it's agood way because this is probably certainly in
the top three of cancers when youconsider lung, coorectal and then other cancers.

(54:28):
Co directed is fairly common and onethat's usually easily detectable, and certainly
sometimes you can have a polyp removeor a portion of a colon removed if
need. But this is one thatwe ought to stay on top of.
I'm going to keep looking at thedata because i have a feeling now it's
going to stretch to fifteen years ifyou don't have any high risk factors.

(54:51):
So if you can get by withsomething every fifteen years, I think we
ought to follow those guidelines. Thankyou, doctor Camp, appreciate the time
this morning. You take care.Thank you, sir. Doctor Joe Camp's
with us this morning. Healthy expectationshere on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

(55:12):
It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Fifty one minutes after the hour
at the Morning Show, author Tomclaven He and Bob Drury have written a
book called Throne of Grace, AMountain Man, an epic Adventure, and

(55:37):
the bloody Conquest of the American West. It's the story of Jedediah Smith.
Tom one of the best historical writersout there and a when he's got a
book, he's a guest. Ijust put it that way. Join us
in a little bit. I toldyou that there was a pretty big admission
coming. You remember when Chris CuomoGrace the airwaves of CNN. You didn't

(56:05):
watch him, probably didn't pay muchattention other than when he said silly things.
It's interesting the Quomo's come off asbeing pretty moderate compared to where New
York is gone. But you mightremember that he was a vaccine pusher,

(56:27):
baxbacks, baxbacks backs, any antivax stuff is misinformation, disinformation. And
he's now working with News Nation andhas a show it's called Cuomo and he's
doing an interview. Let me justlet him set up the interview and let's

(56:52):
listen for a moment or two.It's telling. New York Times released an
article that's getting a lot of playthat says that there are thousands of people
who say they're still suffering side effectsthey believe from the vaccine, and that
those have been ignored. Now.One of them is nurse practitioner Sean Barkovitch.

(57:14):
He says he got his first dosein twenty twenty, had side effects
just standing up, sent his heartracing, stinging, pain in his eyes,
mouth growing. Those have gotten alittle bit better, but he still
has what they call tenitis, that'sa ringing in the ears. We know
that vaccines can have unintended consequences akaside effects, But nobody's really talking about

(57:37):
it because they're too afraid of blameand they just want it to go away.
But the problem is people like Seanand me and millions of others who
still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings,
you know, physically, are notgoing away. Sean Barkovich joins us.
Now, Sean, why do youbelieve it's the vaccine? And what has

(57:59):
happened when you've tried to get aclinical analysis of it? Or answers,
why do I believe this? It'snot a belief, it's a fact.
And as soon as I was injuredof fifteen to twenty minutes in my first
dose, I had numb, thistingling up and down my injected arm that
over days spread to my face andmy eyes. I went to see a

(58:20):
neurologist. He'd ran some tests.He's like, well, this is all
new, we don't know much aboutit, but the hospital is going to
mandate it. You should get asecond dose. And everything in my medical
mind and in my bones was tellingme, no, we're gonna stop right
there. Here's a here's a healthcareprofessional. So it's not it's what I

(58:44):
know, it's what's factual. Anddid you notice what Chris Cuomo said.
He said that he was suffering fromvaccine injury. I am not delighting in
this at all. I am merelybegging you, if you have been vaxed,

(59:12):
double vaxed, triple vexed, seean alternative care doctor to get some
help dealing with the side effects.They might not be able to figure out
anything, but most often you canget some help. But remember what happened.

(59:32):
Don't fall for this again. Themedical profession generally is in so much
trouble because of this, because wedon't trust judgment in many cases. That's
the problem with not enough healthcare professionalsstanding up for the science, hip facts

(01:00:02):
and following traditional, long standing protocols. All right, end of the second
hour, Back with Tom claven Nexton The Morning Show with Preston Scott Hey,

(01:00:29):
Good morning, Welcome to the thirdhour of the Morning Show with Preston's
got great to be with you onPreston Show five thousand, one and fifty
two. He's Grant Allen and this, once again on the radio program is
one of our favorites. Tom clavenHe and Bob Drury have authored a book

(01:00:49):
called Throne of Grace. I becauseI am a member of the media,
I have an advanced copy in myhands and the subtitle of Mountain Man,
An Epic Adventure and the Bloody conQuest of the American West. Tom Claven,
welcome back. How are you goodmorning? I'm fine. Thank you
for having me back. Always apleasure. I always love getting a note
from Chuck telling me that you're ina new book. Here are out together.

(01:01:15):
Tom. Let's set the stage forthis book a little bit. It's
the nineteenth century. Thomas Jefferson's president, kind of paint the scene for us.
Well, most people know about theLewis and Clark expedition and that concluded
in eighteen oh six, and howthat's sort of for the first time we
got glimpses of what the West was, the American West was like. But

(01:01:37):
along came after the Lewis and Clarkwas an explorer named Jedediah Smith, and
he made three trips. Not comparedto the one coast to coast trip that
Lewis and Clark made. He madethree trips, three different halfways to the
West coast and BAC and his journalsand his experiences really opened up the American
West. You know, for mostpeople, we had no idea what was

(01:01:58):
west of the Missouri River. Thereare stories about monsters and giant beings and
all kinds of strange flora and flauraand animals and everything. But it was
Jendi and Smith who got us abetter glimpse of what we had out there.
And behind him came all of themountain men, the fur traders,
the beaver trappers, the people goingout there to try and settle some of

(01:02:19):
the what became the continent of theUnited States. We hear the expression manifest
destiny. It's it's maybe barely touchedon in history classes anymore in middle and
high schools, let alone college explainmanifest destiny. Manifest destiny was a concept
that basically the European descent people whowere on the Eastern Party United States were

(01:02:43):
moving west to populate and settle andfarm and run businesses and begin towns in
the Western Party United States. Andit was sort of like our destiny as
a nation to do that, togo from the East coast what most of
our population was, to go westacross the country and hook up with our
pot relation on the West coast.Now, the good news about that is
that there was so much land andso much beautiful things to see in the

(01:03:07):
West United States. The bad part, of course, is that it was
already occupied by the indigenous tribes.So a big part of our book is
about it was actually kind of aconquest that as people moved farther west,
they had to uproot the people whowere already there, and sometimes that led
to conflict. You mentioned Meriwether LewisWilliam Clark, was Jededi Smith aware of

(01:03:27):
their exploits, what they were doingvery much. So, you know,
Clark especially had published journals about theadventures of Elizid Clark several years after the
expedition, and it was very inspiringto a young man like Jedediah Smith.
He wanted to He not only wantedto emulate them to do what they did,
he wanted to do more than theydid, which he eventually did.
You know, Like I say,he made three trips coast to coast and

(01:03:51):
brought back so much a ton ofinformation. And I should say, because
he was such a good fur trapperand beaver hunter and woodsman and sharpshooter,
he became a rather wealthy man thatwasn't what he set out to do,
but it's almost like as a byproductof all his explorations, he accumulated a
good amount of money. Why isthe story of Jedediah Smith so important?

(01:04:12):
Well, I think, like yousaid, you've referenced, you know,
history books before and then the schools. Jedediah Smith has a lot of ways
lost in the midst of history thatall his accomplishments. He died when he's
still fairly young, and a lotof his journals, some exist and some
survived, some did not. Ithink we need to know, not need
to know. I think we wantto know about Jedediah Smith because he was

(01:04:34):
such a courageous and resilient man,and he's what he saw. Through his
eyes, we see America as thepre pollution America, the beautiful America,
the unvarnished America of the woodlands andthe deserts and the snow capped mountains,
and I think to see that throughhis eyes is very exciting. He is

(01:04:55):
an author that writes about history,and I just the books are tremendous.
This one is about Jedediah Smith,a mountain man, and his adventure to
the West and it's called Throne ofGrace. Author Tom Claven with me here
this morning in the Morning Show withPreston Scott, The Morning Show with Preston

(01:05:18):
Scott on News Radio one hundred pointseven WFLA. Tom Claven has co authored
a book with Bob Drewry called Throneof Grace, talking about Jedediah Smith,
a name that most of you probablydon't know very much about. You know

(01:05:42):
of Lewis and Clark and Daniel Booneand Kick Carson and the rest, but
this is a different one. TomClaven with us, Tom tell us what
we know about Jedediah Smith. Well, we know he came from up to
state, New York family that tracedits generations even back to the Mayflower and

(01:06:05):
was mostly a farming family. Andhe was the one, he was a
child of the Smith family that wasthe explorer. He wasn't going to be
a farmer. He wanted to headwest and find out what was out there
and made his way to Saint Louisand there was an expedition being put together
to go basically, you know,beaver hunting, and that sounds like kind
of a frivolous thing. Who wantto hunt beaver. Well, in the

(01:06:27):
eighteen teens and eighteen twenties, beaverwas very expensive. I mean over in
Europe they were making these beaver hatsby the tens of thousands, and the
demand for beaver pelts and fur wasenormous. So if you could go and
trap beaver and bring them back andsell them, you can become pretty wealthy,
which eventually happened to many of thesemountainmen. Not all though, of
course. It was a very dangerousoccupation, as you can imagine, But

(01:06:48):
Jennefi Smith wanted to go on thisexpedition. He did. It ran to
all kinds of adventures, including Indianbattles, surviving mountain passes, of spells,
blizzards, all kinds of ways.There are all kinds of dangers and
raging rivers. I mean, it'sreally quite the adventure story of Jenedi Smith
and how he kept over and overagain surviving these dangerous situations. Yeah,

(01:07:10):
you talk about having to, Iguess, prepare for the unknown when you're
making a trip like this. Howdid he prepare? I mean, what
was known to him about his tripwest and where he was actually going to
try to set foot. The onlything really known at that time. Well,
in two ways. One you hadthe journals of Lewis and Fark,

(01:07:30):
which were very helpful. However,they had gone to the west coast,
had come back basically along the sameroute, same route, so you only
knew what they had seen. Therewas a whole you know, hundreds of
thousands of acres, millions of acresmore than they had not seen. The
other thing is there were other mountainmen, early ones, that were going
out there and exploring and hunting andtrapping and some of their adventures that were

(01:07:51):
coming back and saying, well,I was, you know, two hundred
miles away from here. This iswhat happened to me. But still,
for the most part was the knowthey didn't jededized. Smith and the other
mountain men with him did not knowwhat they were going to find out there.
They how do you prepare except forsome of the basic things. They
had some food, they had somewater, They had a rifle, they
had some ammunition and some gunpowder,and they had in Smith's case, he

(01:08:15):
carried a Bible with him for inspiration, and that's and he set off.
And what you encountered, you encounter, you hope you survive. It was
what Jedi Smith did, but somedidn't. Was it known to him that
not all North American Indian tribes weregoing to be welcoming to him? Well,
you know, again you had thestories that were working their way back

(01:08:36):
to Saint Louis that there were sometribes who were considered friendly because they liked
the trade with the mountain ment.But there were others like the Black feed
for Existence, as example, andthe Sioux Indians, they were not welcoming
to the white adventurers and explorers andfur traders, and so you really had
to take your chances. There wasyou know, if you encountered the Indians,

(01:08:57):
you didn't know if they were goingto be friendly or not. You
hope they were, if you weren't, For the most part, you had
to high tail it out of therebecause you were always going to be out
numbered. Tom, what did youlearn about the people that joined him on
these trips to the west. Theywere really courageous people because they were adventurers.
They were resilient, they were survivors. They were courageous because they didn't

(01:09:21):
have to do this. They couldhave stayed home and operated farms and opened
up a dry goods store and don'tmaybe even become teachers, because some of
these people were really quite intelligent,but they wanted to see what this place
called America was, what Louisiana Purchasehad bought these millions of acres from France
when Jefferson was president. What's outthere? Let's find out. The curiosity

(01:09:41):
factor was enormous. Joining me onthe program is Tom claven He and Bob
Drury has written the book Thrown ofGrace, A Mountain Man, an epic
Adventure and the bloody conquest of theAmerican West. More to come with Tom.
Next on The Morning Show with PrestonScott. Final segment with author Tom

(01:10:12):
claven He and Bob Drury have coauthored the book Throne of Grace, and
it's a story of Jedediah Smith.You know, Tom, I have had
Bob on the program once or twicebefore, and of course you and I
talk almost every book you release,and I'm grateful for the relationship. How
do you write a book like thiswith somebody else? How do you divvy

(01:10:32):
it up and do it? Youknow, Bob is the most frequent collaborator
I've had. I think this isour eighth book together, and we determined
very early on, like when wedid our first book together called Halsey's Typhoon
World War Two, a navy storythat you can't have four hands on the
keyboard, and we both realize hismore muscular writing style suit of the material

(01:10:56):
better. So basically, I doyou know, like eighty percent of the
research, Prepare everything, organize everything, handed over to Bob. He does
the writing that it comes back tome for revisions and fact checking and anything
else that the peace needs. Andthat's the way we work it out.
Now, I've done it differently,and I've collaborated with other people where I'm
the principal writer and somebody else isdoing most of the research. So my

(01:11:18):
personal experience has been that you can'tbandy back and forth. I'll write chapters
one, three, and five,you write chapters two for it does for
us. It doesn't work that way. We have to we have very clear
line defined lines of what we're goingto do and what our responsibilities are.
Well, these are New York Timesbest selling books and again Throne of Grace

(01:11:39):
in this case dealing with Jedediar Smith. What would you list as some of
the accomplishments that maybe history hasn't takennote of as it should that Jedediah Smith
and his trips to the West accomplishedwell. One is that the journals that
survive we're telling us giving us informationabout the American West. But a lot
of the American West saw that thatknowing European descented man, that white man

(01:12:02):
basically had never seen before. Soit really opened our eyes to what was
out there. It wasn't it wasn'tjust a great vast desert. It was
mountains, it was woodland, itwas rivers, it was streams, It
was so many wonderful things. Andthe other thing he did is one specific
thing is that he discovered the SouthPass in the Rocky Mountains. And what
that means is you didn't have toHe found a way that you can go
through the Rocky Mountains, not upand over the Rocky Mountains. And once

(01:12:26):
that that became almost like a tunnelthat made people from eastern party United States
able to get to the western partof the United States. Saved a lot
of lives, saved a lot oftime, saved a lot of supplies,
and then people starving the death asthey tried to make their way over the
Rockies. How did he handle theI mean, you're traveling west. There's
not an abundance of water out there. I lived out there for about two

(01:12:47):
decades. How did he get through? How did he do it? You
know, it's a great question becauseit's one of the things that that is
I think one of the most interestingparts of the Throne of Grace is that
there reasonally and of Jedediah Smith andhis colleagues. He rarely traveled alone.
He was just off the leader.But you know people at the mountain,
men like Jim Bridger and Tom Fitzpatrickor right beside him, and they always

(01:13:12):
managed at the last minute to finda source of water or to find a
way that they can get through thissnowy mountain pass without without starving to death.
It's just amazing the escapes from deaththat go over and over and over
again, that they're detailed in thebook. Well, you mentioned Lewis and
Clark. We've talked about them acouple of times. But their route was
absolutely to the northwest, whereas Smithwould go southwest, and that includes the

(01:13:38):
Mohave Desert. That is no smalltask. It's right, It's true he
crossed the Mohabby does it ended upin the south southern California, and it's
just for me. It's one ofthe most amazing stories in the book,
is plotting day after day with himand the few men that remained with him.
I mean, their horses are givingout, their mules are giving out,

(01:13:58):
they have they have no water leftat all. Every time you look
across the landscape is just desert,desert, desert as far as the eye
can see. And yet they survived. Ah See, He's given us just
enough, just enough intel here tosay, go get the book. It's
thrown of grace, Tom Craven withus. Tom, you mentioned you did
the research, and we've talked overthe years about a lot of different stories.

(01:14:24):
There's no way that you can researcha story like this without wondering,
without there being some just a gap, a question, a thing. Oh
I wish I had just a littlemore info on this. If there was
one question or one story that youwish you could sit down with Jedediah Smith
and say, what happened here orwhat was your thought there? What would

(01:14:45):
be the top question on that list? You know? The top question all
the time that we worked on thisbook for me was like, why didn't
you give up? I mean,some of these situations that that Jededi Smith
is in a so dire, areso dangerous, are so scary, clinging
to life by a bearess thread.Why didn't you give up? I mean,

(01:15:08):
I think ninety nine percent of thepeople in this situation would have said,
I said, I can't take anotherstep, I'm done. I might
as well just die here. Hedidn't give up, and that's how he
was a survivor. And I'd liketo know what was it that made him
refuse to give up. I mean, I know he was a religious man,
but that by itself was not enough. He just was They just refuse
to give in. Always good tovisit with you, Tom. Thank you

(01:15:30):
for the book, and thank youfor the time. Thank you. I
appreciate it very much, Tom Claven. And the book is Thrown of Grace,
Bob Drury and Tom Claven. It'sa Mountain Man, an epic adventure
in the bloody Conquest of the AmericanWest. And you can get it at
your bookstore or wherever your favorite bookoutlet be online or in person. Right

(01:15:54):
now. Throne of Grace, TomClaven our guest, twenty seven minutes past
the hour. Preston Scott This isthe Way on news Radio one hundred point
seven Double UFLA. Hope you enjoyedthe visit with Tom Claven. I big

(01:16:29):
fan of history and nonfiction books.I think I've done a novelist once maybe
maybe once on this show twice maxout of about six or eight thousand interviews.
Much big fan of nonfiction and TomClavin one of the best. Interesting

(01:16:56):
how he writes with another guy.I think it's the only way you could
do it well. I say that, obviously people do it other ways.
Time for the big stories in thepress box. Grove a creative marketing and
digital expertise, the proud sponsor.Does it matter to you? Forget the
bragging, forget O'Keefe. Media JamesO'Keefe has caught a CIA officer admitting over

(01:17:31):
a dinner table conversation that the CIAwas active, actively involved in subverting the
presidency of Donald Trump. Does itmatter, darn right, it matters,

(01:17:54):
It should, and I hope demandan accounting. We can't have a rogue
agency doing stuff like this. ButTrump's not going to be the first president.

(01:18:18):
There's every indication the CIA was involvedin the assassination of John F.
Kennedy. I've long believed that JohnBrennan and William Clapper and a lot of
these guys that have headed up theCIA are evil men. They're just evil,

(01:18:44):
not to be trusted. And nowdo you really add Mike Pompeio to
that list. That's one of thebig stories as well as show be it
matters. And when the guy wasconfronted with his own videotape, his own

(01:19:05):
laughing, and I mean, hisstatements are clear as day. It's not
muddy well what he say, no, no, no, no, clear
as day. He's sitting across froma lady and he is spilling his guts.
Now, it would not surprise me. I'm just I'm going all in

(01:19:30):
here. It wouldn't surprise me forthis guy to end up dead. It's
the old expression dead men tell notales. Quote. The agencies kind of
like all got together and said,we're not gonna tell Trump. Director of
the CIA would keep information from Trump. We kept information from him. He's

(01:19:55):
the biggest bleeping idiot. Joe Bidenfailing plans to give out Obamacare. Do
tens of thousands, actually more thanone hundred thousand illegal immigrants who entered the
United states as miners as part ofthe twenty twelve Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals Program.
Dhaka, I would ask, whyare they not legal citizens? It's

(01:20:20):
interesting the timing November first, justin time to remind these people who to
vote for at least try to votefor illegal or not. And Florida Governor
Round Desanta sends a letter to DefenseSecretary Lloyd Austin others in Congress saying,

(01:20:40):
why are you trying to take controlof one part of the Florida National Guard
without my permission or knowledge or consent? I should say as knowledge obviously,
but not consent. Consent hasn't beengiven. It's a little creepy, creepy
stuff. Forty minutes after the hour, we will definitely go a totally different

(01:21:00):
direction. Next. Welcome to theMorning Show with Preston Scott. Sometimes you

(01:21:24):
just just smile. I am.I get some of the greatest emails in
the world most all the time fromyou. Your emails are a delight,
even when you don't like me,because I'm okay with that in the sense

(01:21:45):
that I know what comes with theterritory. I'm no different than you.
I wish everyone would like me,but I don't lose sleep at night,
knowing that some don't. It's justdoesn't affect me. But I also get
other email just listen to this comingup. Well, thankfully it's happened.

(01:22:18):
It happened on Saturday. Remember we'vebeen talking about that there's a day for
everything. We call everything the dayof the National whatever. Did you did
you know that Saturday was World NakedGardening Day? No, and I'm thankful

(01:22:45):
that I wasn't reminded in a veryharsh manner. This was Saturday, Sunday,
Saturday, Saturday. Yeah, thiswas going to make it to my
best and worst of the week.Up to you to decide whether it was
going to be the best of theweek or the worst of the week but
objectively worse. Yeah, here areyour Here are your best cities for naked

Sparks, Nevada, and Anchorage,Alaska. Not shocked. Yeah,

(01:23:58):
buddy, this is just but I'mgonna make I'm gonna top this. That's
impressive. Coming to Florida in twentytwenty five, departing February third, NCL
Norwegian Cruise Line has been chartered bya company. They have taken the entire

(01:24:25):
ship. They have bought out theentire ship, and the company called Bare
Necessities b a R. Is goingto be offering a naked cruise. God
Lord channeling is inner Alan Jones.There are some rules. You must be

(01:24:55):
clothing. You must be clothed eatingin one of the dining rooms. Pastngers
have to sit on a towel.When they are naked in their cabin.
They have to at least have atowel the pool deck, and while excursions
they must have a towel underneath them. The crews will go to a private

(01:25:15):
island and yeah, it's adult only. Thankfully making a couple of stops.
Let me read from the advertisement.Two opportunities to enjoy a slice of Baradice
coupled with a beautiful selection of EasternCaribbean island stops will make this a can't

(01:25:39):
miss big nude boat boat experience.The ship is chartered by Bare Necessities.
Guests can expect themed programming that won'tbe offered during a normal They're doing well,
they're doing a pirate night. Ohgosh, no, I can't make

(01:26:00):
that joke on the air. Insidecabins start a two thousand per person.
The most expensive suite is thirty threethousand, one hundred and fifteen dollars per
person. My gosh, the amountof jokes just running through my head right
now are unreal. It's not good. The person who sent me, the

(01:26:24):
research assistant that sent me this story, he wrote these words, this is
just nasty. Yeah. Yeah,mandatory tests for everyone that gets off that
dagumboat. You can't be left backinto gen pop after that. Get nasty
disease ridden individuals. Let's go backto nake a gardening for just a quick

(01:26:50):
second here, Really we are justthink of the possibilities. You're pruning roses,
jack, I mean, you gotthe weed whacker out there. Goodness,
gracious Lord, the potential, thebugs, the bees, the ants,

(01:27:15):
all the creepy crowleys that are inplants as your gardening. What a
time to be alive? We followthe lotteries just because, and I will

(01:27:53):
admit you may think lesser of me. I will admit to every now and
then, when these prizes get ridiculouslybig going, I wonder, what if
I personally don't think I'd be comfortablewinning one of those five hundred million on

(01:28:15):
up prizes. I just I don'tknow that I'd be a comfortable winning fifty
million plus. But I do thinka lot about the good that you could
do. I admit that I andI'm not trying to say, you know,
I'm some patron saint of charity.I just I do feel as though

(01:28:41):
there would be incredible opportunities to dramaticallyimpact people's lives in a direct way.
So I'm drawn to these stories.I'm drawn to the way people handle sudden
wealth like that oftentimes they lose itvery quickly because oftentimes the winners are not

(01:29:02):
necessarily people that have ever learned tomanage their money very well. But I'm
also intrigued by the scratch off winnersbecause that is a different kind of game.
I think people are more inclined tobe addicted to scratch offs than playing

(01:29:25):
numbers, because when you buy numbers, you're just you got to sit and
wait. Where scratch off, there'seither immediate gratification or not, and it's
like a slot machine with a coin. Anyway, Massachusetts woman won one million
dollars ten weeks after winning another millionfrom another game, both scratch offs.

(01:29:49):
That's insane, the odds of thathappening. I've always felt like, if
you're going to do those games,go to some small towns somewhere, because
it always seems to happen in smalltowns, some out of the way place.
