Transcript

Cause that's what we do. God bless America and welcome Monday, May sixth, on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Great to be with you. Show fifty one fifty two a twelve oh two of America held hostage. He's Grand Allen. I'm Preston Scott. Hello, ruminators. Hope you had a lovely weekend. Played a little golf on Saturday, got some work done around the house. My sweet wife returned home from a two week mission trip to northern Ohio. Bless her heart, she makes that drive in one day.

She is a road warrior. But the trip home was mercifully brief by comparison to the usual, and so great to have her back home. But welcome to the program. New broadcast week. Tom Cravin, one of my favorite authors, will join me in the third hour. Doctor Joe scheduled next hour. More details on January sixth have come out as a result of more hours of video being released. We'll dissect that in our verse today James five point

sixteen. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. I think sometimes we hear that word healed, 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 of one's very spirit. Events in life, different things that happen, Different

experiences can scar can leave really deep impactful wounds. So confess, pray that you may be healed. And then there's this. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. How is one righteous in Christ? Right relationship with Christ avails one of the righteousness that's referred to here Where your prayers are a fact, it's a really nice little nugget that you can

unpack and dig deep and do some deep introspection. Ten minutes after the hour's open up, the American Patriots all in fact, look at that it is open. We're ready. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Twelve minutes past May sixth, eighteen sixty one, Arkansas seceeds from the Union eighteen ninety six on the Potomac River, Samuel Langley demonstrates his aerodrome, the world's first mechanically propelled heavier than air machine driven by a small steam engine. The

unmancraft flies three quarters of a mile Langley Air Force Base. Anybody exactly? Nineteen thirty seven, Wow, the Hindenburg exploded in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing thirty six of the ninety seven people aboard. First of all, when you look at the video of that, your first question is where is everybody

on that thing? You're really not quite sure where it is. I think it was the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where they kind of placed a zeppelin into the movie and you saw these rather posh travel and dining quarters on board these huge airships. But the Hindenburg, when you look at it, and there's been speculation for years on what caused the thing to explode. It's

one of the famous, most famous radio broadcasts ever. They're covering the landing 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 for Grapes of Wrath and in nineteen forty one, this is interesting, kind

of go back and set this up. Hope, comedian great entertainer funny funny man, got a suggestion from a sponsor. The suggestion broadcast his radio program from March Field and Army Air Base in Riverside, California. He said, why should we drag the whole show down 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

the appreciative response the young recruits gave him. Seven months later, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Throughout the rest of the 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, who we just mentioned, wrote, when the time for recognition and of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high

on the list. He gets laughter wherever he goes from men who need laughter. After the war, he became one of the most popular entertainers in the country and also one of the most successful immigrants. His family came from England when he was a boy through Ellis Island. He never forgot the troops for more than half a century, through the Cold War, Korean War, Vietnam Golf, Persian Golf War. He went and brought his show, a variety

show, comedy show, musical acts to the troops. And so he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom six years before he died in nineteen ninety seven honorary veteran. First time it had ever been bestowed that award. So congratulations to Bob Hope posthumously and what a great Legacyventeen minutes now past the hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, twenty one past twenty two 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 not going Nope because you and your sweetheart loved going to Disney, as did as did many as did my wife, and I love love going to Disney. Not anymore. The last time we went was kind of a bummer. What would draw you back? I don't know. Is it ideological? At this point, is it crowds, Is it

a combination of all those things. It's even though crowds are down because they've upset so many people and their prices have gotten really high, but they actually down are Yeah, they're they're theme park businesses down. Here's why I'm asking, would this draw you? And is this a play to win some people back? Disney World on June ninth at Epcot, Now, let's back up for a second. Epcot is generally not a big attractor. It's a place

that's older, older folks like Epcot. There are some good rides there, not like the same rides that you find 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 Disney looks at it is a bit of 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 maybe the Animal Place Kingdom. I think Animal Kingdom is actually lower on the totem pole maybe than Epcot. Yeah, okay, fair enough. June sixth, a new exhibit featuring the artwork of former President George W. Bush. The exhibit will go for twelve months in the American Adventure Pavilion. Portraits of Courage, a Commander's tribute to America's Warriors. Now, George, he's actually a pretty good painter, as this is what

Disney released. As guests walk through the exhibit, they will encounter the faces and the hearts of those who answered the nation's call and learn of their bravery on the battlefield, their journey to recover, and the continued leadership and contributions they make as civilians. I think to a lot of people, even though many of us know George W. Bush as a moderate, he's not a conservative. I think he's a good man, But I don't necessarily think he

was a great president. I think he was a good president at an awful time when you look at nine to eleven, based on what we know at this point, I mean, who knows, right, but that American Pavilion, that exhibit, the American Adventure has really just sort of died. People

don't go there. The last time Cynthia and I were there, I was heartbroken at how few people were in the you know, automatronic neotronic whatever that thing is called Display of the American Presidents, 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 huge auditorium and years before it would be packed.

It's just is this an effort to bring people back to that exhibit and to bring some people back to Disney that have been just pushed away by the ridiculous forcing of the LGBTQ whatever into its products. It's films, it's programming, it's parks. Will it work. I don't think it will, but anyway, just putting it out there so you know, if you're interested. George does like to paint and he's pretty good at it, so who knows if you're into that. There you go. Twenty seven passt just do some

news, weather traffic. Come back with the Big Stories The Morning Show with Preston Scott's on News Radio one hundred point seven WUFLA Big Stories in the press Box brought to you by Grove Creative Marketing and digital Expertise. Buckle Up, Kids, O'Keeffe Media Group James O'Keefe. I'm just I'm stunned. Undercover reporter

sits down with CIA project manager m jod Siic. He is the project manager working in cyber ops told an undercover journalist that the director of the CIA would routinely keep information from Trump when he was 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 information from him. We kept information from him because he's the biggest bleeping idiot, said Trump. And his Trump is a

Russian asset. He's owned by the bleeping Russians. This is what he's saying on tape. It is clear as day. He is clear as day. So Keith walks up to him and he denies everything. He clams up. He said, is this you? He goes, well, kind of looks like me, but he wouldn't say it was him. He is bragging about his top security, top top level security 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 the FBI's job now, FBI spying on US citizens, monitoring the president, et cetera. 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 Mike Pompeo. Trump is asked about this revelation. Mister President, your reaction to this videotape of the CI individual talking about how the CIA director is withheld

information from you? What's shocking to see how stupid somebody can be. If this guy is for real, you want to get rid of him CIA Central Intelligence Agency. This is not an intelligent guy to be openly talking to a woman who walks up and starts asking him questions and talking that way. So he may be bragging or showing off to 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

get is this is now. This is next level creepiness. And I'll be honest with you. This starts to speak to me about the willingness to do whatever it takes to not allow Trump to be in the White House, and that means anything anything. Florida Governor Rhme DeSantis sends a letter to Lloyd to Austin, the Defense Secretary. The Air Force is wanting to federalize a squadron of the Florida National Guard without the approval of DeSantis, which is it's not

allowed. It is certainly not decorum, it is not protocol. You consult with the state, you consult with the governor, you get some form of approval from the governor. The goal is 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 a century. And then lastly, Joe Biden has a new plan that he has unveiled to give a one hundred thousand illegal

immigrants free healthcare under the Affordable Care Act. They are the quote dreamers of the twenty twelve Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Previously, illegals are banned from getting this type of subsidy, but illegals would be able to receive federal 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 have they had to become American citizens anyway once again. And this, by the way, scheduled to go into effect. Guess when November one. What happens just a few days later? Oh yeah, the presidential election. More bribery. All of this is about bribing voters. But they're illegals, they can't vote, right. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA or on NewsRadio double UFLA, Panama City dot Com, Cause and Effect, sewing and

reaping, take your pick. Austin, Texas has had a bit of a glow around it some would some would describe 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 of ut University of Texas, and of course it is the bastion of illiberalism in the state of Texas, a fairly red

state is as blue as blue can be 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 in Austin. Home prices are plunging, companies are fleeing, and Austin is suffering oracles moving its headquarters out of the city. Test is pulling back after a rapid expansion. Almost twenty five percent of the commercial office space is vacant,

and real estate prices have fallen back from the pandemic levels. You had all kinds of people moving to Austin, and then all of a sudden, it just is stopping. After a twelve year streak of the fastest growing largest metro area in the US, Austin lost that last year. The office vacancy rate is five percentage points higher than the US average. Home prices down eighteen percent. The city still ranks as one of the least affordable housing markets.

But with so many big business is now pulling out of Austin and relocating or downsizing, it speaks to the future and what may or may not happen. Since in twenty twenty two, Listen now sixty four companies either move their headquarters or moved significant ops to Austin. That number dropped to thirty seven, and this year they're expecting eleven. Meta decided not to move into new office space

in downtown Austin and sought the sublease. The Austin American Statesman reported that Google still hasn't moved into a thirty five story sales shape building at least that overlooks downtown Ladybird Lake named after Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady Lyndon's wife. Here's my in bringing this up. If you pay attention, a community can only do so much and lasts so long under Democrat only leadership. It's just a matter of time. Now. Tallahassee is, as you know, in

Leon County. Leon County is one of two or three really really blue counties in the state of Florida. The others 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 practical and pragmatic, and you can elect ridiculous progressive, elitist, socialist haters of business and so unless it's their money and so that's what you have.

You just have to look at what's happening in other cities and just understand that it's a matter of time. The stability of state government, the stability of the universities, only takes you so far. Learn people learn. I know, we were just talking about the elections and early prediction Chicago is going to be an absolute burned down. It's it's going to be nineteen sixty eight all

over again. Right now, anti Israel protesters are suing the City of Chicago because they're being turned down for quote parade permits and permits to gather during the d n C. The Democrat National Convention groups filing the lawsuit Chicago Alliance against

Racist Political Repression. How ironic is that they want to continue chanting anti Semitic, hateful rants and they call themselves the Chicago Alliance against Racist and Political Repression the anti war coalition who started that war in the Yeah, never mind, Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Illinois all in supportive and ampments

at the University of Chicago. They filed a lawsuit Tuesday last week in US District Court because they want to engage in peaceful political speech and seek to exercise their First Amendment rights at the convention to deliver their political messages directly to President Obama. City of Chicago though, is not granting them that they are claiming, they're trying to protect Biden. They're feasting 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 now because of some protests in other areas doesn't mean that that can be used against them. But yeah, we'll see where that goes. What I'm really enjoying is the response to the protesters at schools. For example, a judge, a US district Court judge in Arizona denied seventy two Arizona State University students

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 judge said he wasn't convinced of that evidence. The students have said that they they are demanding to have any charges dropped against them, and it's similar to what's happened at Columbia Columbia. The law review

demands the school canceled tests for students traumatized by NYPD. The Columbia Law Review issued a statement last week calling on Columbia Law School to cancel final exams because of the violence that students had witnessed left them irre, irrevocably shaken and unable to focus. I'm laughing because these snowflakes, these little marshmallows, they are the ones that brought this on themselves, and they want their suspensions lifted.

They look they should all be kicked out of school. They should be expelled. It shouldn't even be a discussion. Bye bye, But you gotta laugh. Maybe happy Monday to you. I know for many it's Monday work day. We'll try to make it a little bit better. Stick around, will at least inform you, make you aware of some things, and knowledge can be power. This Morning Show with Preston Scott, He's Grant Allen, I'm Preston. And later on this hour, doctor Joe Camps, We've got some

fyis for you. Public admission coming from a very unusual place. And then in the third hour, Tom Craven co authoring a new book called Throne of Grace that we will discuss. He is an exceptional He is an author who writes of history. He much prefers being considered an author than a historian. I think David McCullum might have preferred it the other way around, but I don't know. I never had the chance to ask him. I came within a whisker of getting David McColl on the show, but sadly did not.

But Tom claven is in my top echelon 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 that has been released now from January sixth, forty thousand hours in all, twenty thousand has been released. There are a few things here that have been noted by Epic Times since Mike Johnson ordered this video to be released. We're halfway there. Let's look first at Ashley Babbitt.

Who is she? Ashley Babbitt is the 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 shooting of a protester that resulted in the death of that protester would at the very least get the attention of the committee, if not criminal charges for the guy who shot her because he had no reason to zero zero, He followed no protocols, and he's faced no charges and in fact has been promoted.

Inside the hallway, just after two point forty in the afternoon, Lieutenant Michael Bird slipped from his hidden position with a glock pistol aimed at the protester's feet to his right. Mss Babbitt spent her few minutes in that hallway trying to keep the crowd from spiraling further into mob behavior. Former Air Force military officers shouted at three Capitol Police officers to call expletive for help. She in fact punched a rioter, Zachary Alam, for smashing several windows. She hit a

fellow protester in the face. However, mister Bird lunged forward, and because she was climbing through a window that was still quite a ways from him, with nothing in her hands, he pumped a shot in her chest. He was not in imminent threat or danger. He was still protected. He did not say stop, He did not say hold I have a gun. He did not indicate any sense that he was going to fire. Response came just before two point fifty. In terms of on video. The first response calls

for Abbot. She was placed into an 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 in and around the Capitol. Bird made a radio call after he shot miss Babbitt at two forty four, claiming he was under fire and was preparing to return fire. That was a lie that was never ever true. Did you know that? Did you know that he was claiming that he was being fired upon and 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 video whatsoever. In truth, his was the only shot fired. No officers were ever confronted with guns or gunfire. More to come from this video, Preston Scott sixty percent of the time. It works every time on news radio one hundred point SEVENUFLA. So to set the

stage here. At two forty four in the afternoon on January sixth, after Ashley Babbitt was shot, the officer that shot her, Lieutenant Michael Byrd, places a call on his radio claiming that 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 Babbitt being shot. It's timestamped. There are other videos that show it. It's significant because there were no other guns being

fired period. But what it does is it changes the whole dynamic of the area. Security videos showed the anxiety and fear on the faces of police who moved through the Capitol with weapons drawn. At this point, an armored cat at two forty seven from the Bureau of ATF pulled into the south barricade. A six person SWAT team rushed the south door went upstairs at two forty eight. One minute later, seven police officers from Capitol Police with guns drawn,

move up the house gallery stairs. That's captured on camera seventy two. Eighteen minutes later, protesters were their hands up streamed down the stairway on the third floor near the house gallery. Surprise, protesters were met by SWAT officers with raised M four rifles down the hallway. House members and staff who had been holed up in the gallery seating sections were led downstairs by officers with guns drawn. All of this on tape. But do you see how the firing of

that weapon changed the whole dynamic of the event. Several fights did break out between some of the witnesses to the shooting and police. Outright brawl broke out between police and protesters who'd been in the hallway when Miss Babbitt was shot. You can imagine everyone is on edge at that point. The video is very clear that while there were many peaceful protesters, not everybody was. There was

some violence, and it was perpetrated by protesters. You remember me commenting that it looked to me in the initial video that I had seen outside the building, that it looked like an intentional volley of tear gas canisters were fired into the police by their own, by their fellow officers, which caused them to pull back, which allowed the crowd to move forward. It's corroborated here. Misfired tear gas canisters exposed hundreds of people who didn't have gas masks, including

the faces of police officers. They weren't prepared, wasn't supposed to be fired. There was no protocol followed in any of this. They have policies in place for these kinds of situations and these kinds of escalations. It looked as though from my eye that there was an actual intentional effort to cause police, most of whom were not in on any plan in my opinion, to fall back to give up their defensive positions. There's more. There's people being shoved

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, thirty four years old, being shoved off the ledge. There's a lawsuit that was filed on the twenty fourth of April. We're just beginning to learn, and questions haven't been asked. They certainly weren't asked with the first go round

of the January sixth committee. I'm infrequently deciding to do a segment that I'm just labeling FYI, just some random things just to file away. I'm just I'm brutally consistent on that in my world, I just isn't that interesting. Just make note of that, just kind of this is one of those to me couple in fact, the Australian Stock 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 later this month. They are going fully digital, phasing out cash. Customers will not be able to write or deposit personal checks, deposit or request bank checks, make contributions or payments by a check. The fully digital world of finance is really scary. Let's just think for a second what happens. Government tracks every single henny you spend and with whom this is. This is just one of those that you go, well,

huh. Honestly, Australia is the type of place, based on what I saw during COVID, that would go cashless completely. Mmmmmmm m m m. Then there's the service charges that banks charge for their debit cards credit cards to be used, so they're making money on that as well by outlying cash. It's just something just yeah, not not not down with that one. Then

there's Phiser. Get this. Pfiser's profit plunged forty percent year over year in the first quarter, with Pfiser blaming falling sales of its vaccine and anti viral treatment. That don't tell me they were banking on that. I mean, they weren't planning on people continually having to have the vaccine were they doesn't that strike you as being I mean that it's news and that they're blaming falling sales on people, not first people just not not feeling comfortable with the vaccine as

many of us, that's the position we held. We held to the science. The science is right. The majority of doctors, hospitals, medical facilities were wrong. And as we'll hear later on in the show, the evidence is coming out Astrozenica admitting that it's COVID 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

place in a voting registration system? Coffee County, Georgia. That's where President Trump alleged fraud taking place in twenty twenty. It appears as though the it forced local government officials to sever their connection with the state voter registration system. They have been hacked. What system do they use? Dominion Preston Scott on Use Radio one point seven Double ufla ah halfway through the Morning Show with Preston Scott from Monday May sixth. How are you. It'll be a good weekend.

Hey, I just I got to interject this real quickly while I'm thinking of it. Yesterday, I after church ran a quick errand of the store before a little combined birthday celebration for a couple of the boys in the family. And I don't know if they feel ripped off, but you know, having to celebrate the birthdays together, it's kind of like Christmas being your birthday. It's sort of like, I don't know anyway, I see this lady nearly plow through a few folks at the crosswalk at a public's. It wasn't

like a close call. It was just like, she's not going to be bothered by you. And I made a prediction before I I just snap judgment call flaming illiberal guaranteed people in the crosswalk. No, no, no, I was here first. I'm I I if enough. I wasn't here first. I'm I'm not. I'm in a car. They don't have a right away. Forget what the signs say she 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 away either. Big Stories in the press 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 note to Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense for the United States, as well as other congressional officials. The Air Force is requesting to federalize a squadron of Florida National Guard without the approval of Florida's governor.

The Air Force sought congressional approval to take control of the Florida National Guard one hundred and fourteenth Electronic Warfare Squadron. Why why and why would they bypass DeSantis? The goal is bringing the squadron under the direct control of the United

States Space Force. I always feel like Doctor Evil from Austin Power Movies that I need the finger, quotes Space Force Desantus wrote, if adopted, the proposal would flout more than a century of precedent and undermine federal law protections for state control of their national guard forces. They also said that US law prohibits the reorganization of National guardsmen by the federal government without the governor's consent. What

are they up to? Joe Biden handing out obamacaredy with legal immigrants one hundred thousand DACA members. I guess you'd call them. They're legals, though they're not entitled to. So he's just changing the rules, just doing what he wants. And James O'Keefe released video last week. Amjad facsi is how he pronounced it, made statements to an undercover reporter. Man, what is it about dudes bragging about their work with a woman on the other side of the

table. Oh my gosh, this guy works for Deloitte, he says, But he claimed to be a project manager working in cyber ops with the CIA and for the CIA with a top level of security clearance. And inside the undercover video, he laughingly claims how the 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 going to tell Trump now. Besides the obvious, how about the fact that you've got the CIA working domestically that's supposed to be against the law. They're not allowed just saying forty minutes past the hour, doctor Joe's standing by. Next you're in the Morning show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Forty one past the our Healthy Expectations. We should have them joining us. 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 know, if you live in Florida like we have, it does happen.

I wanted to talk a little bit about 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 five and two, and I think this is important. If you're over the age of seventy six, it's almost suggested that you don't have any screening. It's not going to be beneficial for you.

And so basically the people that should consider screening of those that have a family history of corected cancer, history of inflammatory bio disease, things like all sort of collibers and Crohn's disease, patients that have something called familial polyplosis that means the history of having multiple problems within the colon, or someone that has received radiation to the abdominarium. And so, as you know, there are many has to out there. You know, I like to look at the

quaid, which is a test for blood. That's probably the most common thing that's done. But there are structural and visual exams such a sigmatoscopy and colonoscopy, And now something that's being utilized more and more is you can get a CT callography, which is a CT of your colon to look for polyps. And so things have gotten in my opinion, much easier. However, as you know, if you've ever had this, the worst thing about this is the prepu. It can be. It can almost belt to deal with.

You chuckled there, Yeah, I did, 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 a fairly common cancer and the screenings are relatively routine, and there is some controversy run around this subject about when you can stop the screaming process, and certainly the recommendation may be moving from a five

year wind to more like ten to fifteen years. So I think some of the earlier frequency of screenings are going to change, and I like to keep up with these things because this is a basic disease that certainly people are sort of have an understanding of what generally needs to be done, and if you're

in doubt, go see your primary care physician. But this is one that I think that screaming for co director cancer is relatively easy, and just understanding the guidelines and the risk is something that one should take under accounter as they think about their overall health. And that's my story this morning. When you're sticking to it, when you talk about considering the risks and so forth, are you talking about the risks of the screening or the risks of the disease

the risk of the disease. Yeah, I mean the screening is fairly straightforward, although it's not pleasant to deal with, but usually it's fairly straightforward. It's pretty quick, and it's a good way because this is probably certainly in the top three of cancers when you consider lung, coorectal and then other cancers. Co directed is fairly common and one that's usually easily detectable, and certainly sometimes you can have a polyp remove or a portion of a colon removed if

need. But this is one that we ought to stay on top of. I'm going to keep looking at the data because i have a feeling now it's going to stretch to fifteen years if you don't have any high risk factors. So if you can get by with something every fifteen years, I think we ought to follow those guidelines. Thank you, doctor Camp, appreciate the time this morning. You take care. Thank you, sir. Doctor Joe Camp's with us this morning. Healthy expectations here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

It's The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Fifty one minutes after the hour at the Morning Show, author Tom claven He and Bob Drury have written a book called Throne of Grace, A Mountain Man, an epic Adventure, and the bloody Conquest of the American West. It's the story of Jedediah Smith. Tom one of the best historical writers out there and a when he's got a book, he's a guest. I just put it that way. Join us in a little bit. I told you that there was a pretty big admission

coming. You remember when Chris Cuomo Grace the airwaves of CNN. You didn't watch him, probably didn't pay much attention other than when he said silly things. It's interesting the Quomo's come off as being pretty moderate compared to where New York is gone. But you might remember that he was a vaccine pusher, baxbacks, baxbacks backs, any anti vax stuff is misinformation, disinformation. And he's now working with News Nation and has a show it's called Cuomo and he's

doing an interview. Let me just let him set up the interview and let's listen for a moment or two. It's telling. New York Times released an article that's getting a lot of play that says that there are thousands of people who say they're still suffering side effects they believe from the vaccine, and that those have been ignored. Now. One of them is nurse practitioner Sean Barkovitch.

He says he got his first dose in twenty twenty, had side effects just standing up, sent his heart racing, stinging, pain in his eyes, mouth growing. Those have gotten a little bit better, but he still has what they call tenitis, that's a ringing in the ears. We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences aka side effects, But nobody's really talking about it because they're too afraid of blame and they just want it to go away.

But the problem is people like Sean and me and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their blood work and their lives and their feelings, you know, physically, are not going away. Sean Barkovich joins us. Now, Sean, why do you believe it's the vaccine? And what has happened when you've tried to get a clinical analysis of it? Or answers, why do I believe this? It's not a belief, it's a fact.

And as soon as I was injured of fifteen to twenty minutes in my first dose, I had numb, this tingling up and down my injected arm that over days spread to my face and my eyes. I went to see a neurologist. He'd ran some tests. He's like, well, this is all new, we don't know much about it, but the hospital is going to mandate it. You should get a second dose. And everything in my medical mind and in my bones was telling me, no, we're gonna stop right

there. Here's a here's a healthcare professional. So it's not it's what I know, it's what's factual. And did you notice what Chris Cuomo said. He said that he was suffering from vaccine injury. I am not delighting in this at all. I am merely begging you, if you have been vaxed, double vaxed, triple vexed, see an 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 can get some help. But remember what happened.

Don't fall for this again. The medical profession generally is in so much trouble because of this, because we don't trust judgment in many cases. That's the problem with not enough healthcare professionals standing up for the science, hip facts

and following traditional, long standing protocols. All right, end of the second hour, Back with Tom claven Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott Hey, Good morning, Welcome to the third hour of the Morning Show with Preston's got great to be with you on Preston 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 claven He and Bob Drury have authored a book

called Throne of Grace. I because I am a member of the media, I have an advanced copy in my hands and the subtitle of Mountain Man, An Epic Adventure and the Bloody con Quest of the American West. Tom Claven, welcome back. How are you good morning? I'm fine. Thank you for having me back. Always a pleasure. I always love getting a note from Chuck telling me that you're in a new book. Here are out together. Tom. Let's set the stage for this 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 the Lewis and Clark expedition and that concluded in eighteen oh six, and how that's sort of for the first time we got glimpses of what the West was, the American West was like. But along came after the Lewis and Clark was an explorer named Jedediah Smith, and he made three trips. Not compared to the one coast to coast trip that

Lewis and Clark made. He made three trips, three different halfways to the West coast and BAC and his journals and his experiences really opened up the American West. You know, for most people, we had no idea what was west of the Missouri River. There are stories about monsters and giant beings and all kinds of strange flora and flaura and animals and everything. But it was Jendi and Smith who got us a better glimpse of what we had out there.

And behind him came all of the mountain men, the fur traders, the beaver trappers, the people going out there to try and settle some of the what became the continent of the United States. We hear the expression manifest destiny. It's it's maybe barely touched on in history classes anymore in middle and

high schools, let alone college explain manifest destiny. Manifest destiny was a concept that basically the European descent people who were on the Eastern Party United States were moving west to populate and settle and farm and run businesses and begin towns in the Western Party United States. And it was sort of like our destiny as a nation to do that, to go from the East coast what most of our population was, to go west across 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 and so much beautiful things to see in the 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 a conquest that as people moved farther west, they had to uproot the people who were already there, and sometimes that led

to conflict. You mentioned Meriwether Lewis William Clark, was Jededi Smith aware of their exploits, what they were doing very much. So, you know, Clark especially had published journals about the adventures of Elizid Clark several years after the expedition, and it was very inspiring to a young man like Jedediah Smith. He wanted to He not only wanted to emulate them to do what they did, he wanted to do more than they did, which he eventually did.

You know, Like I say, he made three trips coast to coast and brought back so much a ton of information. And I should say, because he was such a good fur trapper and beaver hunter and woodsman and sharpshooter, he became a rather wealthy man that wasn't what he set out to do, but it's almost like as a byproduct of all his explorations, he accumulated a good amount of money. Why is the story of Jedediah Smith so important? Well, I think, like you said, 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 that all his accomplishments. He died when he's still fairly young, and a lot of his journals, some exist and some survived, some did not. I think we need to know, not need to know. I think we want to know about Jedediah Smith because he was

such a courageous and resilient man, and he's what he saw. Through his eyes, we see America as the pre pollution America, the beautiful America, the unvarnished America of the woodlands and the deserts and the snow capped mountains, and I think to see that through his eyes is very exciting. He is 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 of Grace. Author Tom Claven with me here this morning in the Morning Show with Preston Scott, The Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA. Tom Claven has co authored a book with Bob Drewry called Throne of Grace, talking about Jedediah Smith, a name that most of you probably don't know very much about. You know of Lewis and Clark and Daniel Boone and Kick Carson and the rest, but

this is a different one. Tom Claven with us, Tom tell us what we know about Jedediah Smith. Well, we know he came from up to state, New York family that traced its generations even back to the Mayflower and was mostly a farming family. And he was the one, he was a child of the Smith family that was the explorer. He wasn't going to be

a farmer. He wanted to head west and find out what was out there and made his way to Saint Louis and there was an expedition being put together to go basically, you know, beaver hunting, and that sounds like kind of a frivolous thing. Who want to hunt beaver. Well, in the eighteen teens and eighteen twenties, beaver was very expensive. I mean over in Europe they were making these beaver hats by the tens of thousands, and the

demand for beaver pelts and fur was enormous. So if you could go and trap beaver and bring them back and sell them, you can become pretty wealthy, which eventually happened to many of these mountainmen. Not all though, of course. It was a very dangerous occupation, as you can imagine, But Jennefi Smith wanted to go on this expedition. He did. It ran to all kinds of adventures, including Indian battles, surviving mountain passes, of spells,

blizzards, all kinds of ways. There are all kinds of dangers and raging rivers. I mean, it's really quite the adventure story of Jenedi Smith and how he kept over and over again surviving these dangerous situations. Yeah, you talk about having to, I guess, prepare for the unknown when you're making a trip like this. How did he prepare? I mean, what was known to him about his trip west and where he was actually going to try to set foot. The only thing really known at that time. Well,

in two ways. One you had the journals of Lewis and Fark, which were very helpful. However, they had gone to the west coast, had come back basically along the same route, same route, so you only knew what they had seen. There was a whole you know, hundreds of

thousands of acres, millions of acres more than they had not seen. The other thing is there were other mountain men, early ones, that were going out there and exploring and hunting and trapping and some of their adventures that were coming back and saying, well, I was, you know, two hundred miles away from here. This is what happened to me. But still,

for the most part was the know they didn't jededized. Smith and the other mountain men with him did not know what they were going to find out there. They how do you prepare except for some of the basic things. They had some food, they had some water, They had a rifle, they had some ammunition and some gunpowder, and they had in Smith's case, he 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 some didn't. Was it known to him that not all North American Indian tribes were going to be welcoming to him? Well, you know, again you had the stories that were working their way back to Saint Louis that there were some tribes 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, and the Sioux Indians, they were not welcoming to the white adventurers and explorers and fur traders, and so you really had to take your chances. There was you know, if you encountered the Indians, you didn't know if they were going to be friendly or not. You hope they were, if you weren't, For the most part, you had to high tail it out of there because you were always going to be out

numbered. Tom, what did you learn about the people that joined him on these trips to the west. They were really courageous people because they were adventurers. They were resilient, they were survivors. They were courageous because they didn't

have to do this. They could have stayed home and operated farms and opened up a dry goods store and don't maybe 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 Purchase had bought these millions of acres from France when Jefferson was president. What's out there? Let's find out. The curiosity

factor was enormous. Joining me on the program is Tom claven He and Bob Drury has written the book Thrown of Grace, A Mountain Man, an epic Adventure and the bloody conquest of the American West. More to come with Tom. Next on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Final segment with author Tom claven He and Bob Drury have co authored 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 twice before, 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 this with somebody else? How do you divvy it up and do it? You know, Bob is the most frequent collaborator

I've had. I think this is our eighth book together, and we determined very early on, like when we did our first book together called Halsey's Typhoon World War Two, a navy story that you can't have four hands on the keyboard, and we both realize his more muscular writing style suit of the material better. So basically, I do you know, like eighty percent of the

research, Prepare everything, organize everything, handed over to Bob. He does the writing that it comes back to me for revisions and fact checking and anything else that the peace needs. And that'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 is doing most of the research. So my

personal experience has been that you can't bandy 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 going to do and what our responsibilities are. Well, these are New York Times best selling books and again Throne of Grace

in this case dealing with Jedediar Smith. What would you list as some of the accomplishments that maybe history hasn't taken note of as it should that Jedediah Smith and his trips to the West accomplished well. One is that the journals that survive we're telling us giving us information about the American West. But a lot of the American West saw that that knowing European descented man, that white man basically had never seen before. So it really opened our eyes to what was

out there. It wasn't it wasn't just a great vast desert. It was mountains, it was woodland, it was rivers, it was streams, It was so many wonderful things. And the other thing he did is one specific thing is that he discovered the South Pass in the Rocky Mountains. And what that means is you didn't have to He found a way that you can go

through the Rocky Mountains, not up and over the Rocky Mountains. And once that that became almost like a tunnel that made people from eastern party United States able to get to the western part of the United States. Saved a lot of lives, saved a lot of time, saved a lot of supplies, and then people starving the death as they tried to make their way over the Rockies. How did he handle the I mean, you're traveling west. There's not an abundance of water out there. I lived out there for about two

decades. How did he get through? How did he do it? You know, it's a great question because it's one of the things that that is I think one of the most interesting parts of the Throne of Grace is that there reasonally and of Jedediah Smith and his colleagues. He rarely traveled alone.

He was just off the leader. But you know people at the mountain, men like Jim Bridger and Tom Fitzpatrick or right beside him, and they always managed at the last minute to find a source of water or to find a way that they can get through this snowy mountain pass without without starving to death. It's just amazing the escapes from death that go over and over and over again, that they're detailed in the book. Well, you mentioned Lewis and

Clark. We've talked about them a couple of times. But their route was absolutely to the northwest, whereas Smith would go southwest, and that includes the Mohave Desert. That is no small task. It's right, It's true he crossed the Mohabby does it ended up in the south southern California, and it's just for me. It's one of the most amazing stories in the book, is plotting day after day with him and the few men that remained with him. I mean, their horses are giving out, their mules are giving out,

they have they have no water left at 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 to say, go get the book. It's thrown of grace, Tom Craven with us. Tom, you mentioned you did the research, and we've talked over the years about a lot of different stories. There's no way that you can research a story like this without wondering,

without there being some just a gap, a question, a thing. Oh I wish I had just a little more info on this. If there was one question or one story that you wish you could sit down with Jedediah Smith and say, what happened here or what was your thought there? What would be the top question on that list? You know? The top question all the time that we worked on this book 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, are so dangerous, are so scary, clinging to life by a bearess thread. Why didn't you give up? I mean, I think ninety nine percent of the people in this situation would have said, I said, I can't take another step, I'm done. I might as well just die here. He didn't give up, and that's how he was a survivor. And I'd like to 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 to visit with you, Tom. Thank you for the book, and thank you for the time. Thank you. I appreciate it very much, Tom Claven. And the book is Thrown of Grace, Bob Drury and Tom Claven. It's a Mountain Man, an epic adventure in the bloody Conquest of the American West. And you can get it at your bookstore or wherever your favorite book outlet be online or in person. Right

now. Throne of Grace, Tom Claven our guest, twenty seven minutes past the hour. Preston Scott This is the Way on news Radio one hundred point seven Double UFLA. Hope you enjoyed the visit with Tom Claven. I big fan of history and nonfiction books. I think I've done a novelist once maybe maybe once on this show twice max out of about six or eight thousand interviews. Much big fan of nonfiction and Tom Clavin one of the best. Interesting

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 the press box. Grove a creative marketing and digital expertise, the proud sponsor. Does it matter to you? Forget the bragging, forget O'Keefe. Media James O'Keefe has caught a CIA officer admitting over a dinner table conversation that the CIA was active, actively involved in subverting the

presidency of Donald Trump. Does it matter, darn right, it matters, It should, and I hope demand an accounting. We can't have a rogue agency doing stuff like this. But Trump's not going to be the first president. There's every indication the CIA was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I've long believed that John Brennan and William Clapper and a lot of these guys that have headed up the CIA are evil men. They're just evil,

not to be trusted. And now do you really add Mike Pompeio to that list. That's one of the big stories as well as show be it matters. And when the guy was confronted with his own videotape, his own laughing, and I mean, his statements are clear as day. It's not muddy well what he say, no, no, no, no, clear as day. He's sitting across from a lady and he is spilling his guts. Now, it would not surprise me. I'm just I'm going all in here. It wouldn't surprise me for this guy to end up dead. It's

the old expression dead men tell no tales. 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 the biggest bleeping idiot. Joe Biden failing plans to give out Obamacare. Do tens of thousands, actually more than one hundred thousand illegal immigrants who entered the United states as miners as part of the twenty twelve Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals Program.

Dhaka, I would ask, why are they not legal citizens? It's interesting the timing November first, just in time to remind these people who to vote for at least try to vote for illegal or not. And Florida Governor Round Desanta sends a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin others in Congress saying, why are you trying to take control of 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 been given. It's a little creepy, creepy stuff. Forty minutes after the hour, we will definitely go a totally different direction. Next. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Sometimes you just just smile. I am. I get some of the greatest emails in the world most all the time from you. Your emails are a delight, even when you don't like me, because I'm okay with that in the sense that I know what comes with the territory. 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 just doesn't affect me. But I also get other email just listen to this coming up. Well, thankfully it's happened. It happened on Saturday. Remember we've been talking about that there's a day for everything. We call everything the day of the National whatever. Did you did you know that Saturday was World Naked Gardening Day? No, and I'm thankful

that I wasn't reminded in a very harsh manner. This was Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Saturday. Yeah, this was 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 the week or the worst of the week but objectively worse. Yeah, here are your Here are your best cities for naked gardening in America. Miami, Shocker, Philadelphia, New York, Austin, Ashville, La, Pasadena, Sacramento, Albuquerque, and Pittsburgh. Here are

your worst. These are the worst cities for naked gardening. Michelle Waka hold On, Reno, Missoula, Daily City, California, Provo, Utah, Orum, Utah, Billings, Montana, Leyton, Utah, Duluth, Minnesota, Sparks, Nevada, and Anchorage, Alaska. Not shocked. Yeah, buddy, this is just but I'm gonna make I'm gonna top this. That's impressive. Coming to Florida in twenty twenty five, departing February third, NCL Norwegian Cruise Line has been chartered by a company. They have taken the entire

ship. They have bought out the entire ship, and the company called Bare Necessities b a R. Is going to be offering a naked cruise. God Lord channeling is inner Alan Jones. There are some rules. You must be clothing. You must be clothed eating in 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 a towel the pool deck, and while excursions they must have a towel underneath them. The crews will go to a private

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 Eastern Caribbean island stops will make this a can't miss big nude boat boat experience. The ship is chartered by Bare Necessities. Guests can expect themed programming that won't be offered during a normal They're doing well, they're doing a pirate night. Oh gosh, no, I can't make

that joke on the air. Inside cabins start a two thousand per person. The most expensive suite is thirty three thousand, one hundred and fifteen dollars per person. My gosh, the amount of jokes just running through my head right now are unreal. It's not good. The person who sent me, the 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 back into gen pop after that. Get nasty disease ridden individuals. Let's go back to nake a gardening for just a quick second here, Really we are just think of the possibilities. You're pruning roses, jack, I mean, you got the weed whacker out there. Goodness, gracious Lord, the potential, the bugs, the bees, the ants, all the creepy crowleys that are in plants as your gardening. What a time to be alive? We follow the lotteries just because, and I will

admit you may think lesser of me. I will admit to every now and then, when these prizes get ridiculously big going, I wonder, what if I personally don't think I'd be comfortable winning one of those five hundred million on up prizes. I just I don't know that I'd be a comfortable winning fifty million plus. But I do think a lot about the good that you could do. I admit that I and I'm not trying to say, you know,

I'm some patron saint of charity. I just I do feel as though there would be incredible opportunities to dramatically impact 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 it very quickly because oftentimes the winners are not necessarily people that have ever learned to manage their money very well. But I'm also intrigued by the scratch off winners because that is a different kind of game.

I think people are more inclined to be addicted to scratch offs than playing numbers, because when you buy numbers, you're just you got to sit and wait. Where scratch off, there's either 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 million from another game, both scratch offs.

That's insane, the odds of that happening. 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 small towns, some out of the way place. Brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WFLA. She said her latest winnings will provide her she's going to buy a new SUV. Yeah, might need all of it. Anyway, we started with James five sixteen. That's where we began. Big stories in the
