Ep. 5224: Polaris Dawn, Kamala, state parks and much more

But as we do, before we talk about much anything, much of anything else, we start where we should always start our day, with God's word. Isaiah twenty six three says, you keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because He trusts in you. Last night, for a variety of reasons, I just found myself awake a good bit more than most normal nights, and I just

kept redirecting my brain. And I kept redirecting my brain to God and his faithfulness and his promises and what I have seen God do in my lifetime and in the lives of people that I know in love for my lifetime. And I hope. I'm that type of person who's able to rest in peace because my mind is repeatedly redirected toward Word's God. And let me be candid with you, it's a bit of a challenge doing what I do professionally. I have long told you I have perhaps the best job in the world because I have

a job that I love. You can have the best job in the world by having something that you love to do. Finding a passion for what you do not always easy. I would suppose that it's not always possible. I've been fortunate that way in my life. I've had what I would call three different iterations of a career, and in each and every one, I have been so fortunate to love what I do. But no matter what,

operating in peace that allows you to function. See that connects a little bit to what we were talking about this last month in our Sons of Thunder segments in Ephesian six. The gospel of peace, that peace that we can operate in even when things are going really south, that comes if you reverse engineer it back to keeping your mind fixed and focused on God on his word. He gives peace to those who have their mind focused on Him because those who focus on God are ultimately

trusting Him and in that you are granted peace. That's good stuff, walking in God's peace. I hope it, wish it, Pray for it for all of you. Now, I we'll tell you some of the things we'll talk about today. We'll test that piece. But my, oh my, have things changed since I zipped off to bed last night. We will explain stick around A great show awaits It's just us today on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Que the roosters.

Stop making us change clocks. Anyway, I do understand there are arguments made why we do what we do to try to keep the kids from being in darkness at bus stops, and so I understand that, but still, oh man, come on, all right, let's take a peek here. It's August twenty seventh, sixteen sixty five, the first theatrical performance of the Colonies, a play called The Bear and the cub is giving it a comic Virginia, sixteen sixty five.

I guess I mean you just sort of think to yourself, Okay, they didn't have lights, they didn't have a rudimentary play back in that day? Was a candlelight? Did they have like little clamshells that they would reflect the light with, or I mean in front of a lantern or something. I don't know. That kind of thing just amuses me. Seventeen seventy six, British forces defeat the Patriots in the

Battle of Long Island. I think I've mentioned this several times, but every time I talk about this, this time the Revolutionary War, it's just a source of great fascination to me. And there are two books that I highly recommend if you are kind of a nerd on that stuff, or even if you're not type something here, there are two books you've got to get in your library and read their history books. They are they're fantastic. The first is my favorite author, David McCullough, and the book is seventeen

seventy six. David McCullough won a Pulitzer Prize for John Adams, which is a book that's massive to long read. But he followed that up with seventeen seventy six, which is about the birth of this nation. And it is a wonderful historical account, brilliantly written, as is everything written by David McCullough. But the other book that a lot of people don't know about by comparison, is the book by Brian kill Mea and Don Yeager. Now I've had Brian on the show, and I've had Don on the show

a few times. I wouldn't say that Don and I are friends, but we're acquaintances. Don is actually a Tallahassean and he's just a wonderful, gifted writer. He co authored the book with Brian. It's a New York Times bestseller. It's called George Washington's Secret Six, The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution. It it gets into the nitty gritty at a much deeper level about one specific part of the revolutionary war, and it was spies, how information

was obtained. And so I just throw that out there. That's a book that I really recommend, and you can get it for a less than twenty bucks. It's a wonderful book. On this date in eighteen fifty nine, and when Drake drills the first successful commercial oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. What Pennsylvania oil? Who knew? No? Take two? Nineteen oh eight. LBJ Lyndon Johnson, thirty six, President, born near Stonewall, Texas. I was talking with my wife about LBJ last night.

I was fortunate enough to have met and know his vice president, Hubert Humphrey. Hubert Humphrey was a very close friend of my father's and so I had on more than one occasion a visit with the vice president, their casual visit the Poulton Yacht Club in Minneapolis. And yeah, LBJ not the guy that we think of, not the fan of the civil rights movement, and he's made out to be. Nineteen sixty two, NASA launches Mariner two, first probe to fly by gathered data on another planet, which

was Venus at the time. Now to contrast LBJ, I know I'm jumping online crazy. Hubert Humphrey was just a very kind and decent man. I think Humphrey could see the writing on the wall what was coming with the Democrat Party, I do. I think he knew, but he was just a wonderful man. Seventeen passed the hour come back. A big event happening today. We'll tell you about it next my Heart's radio station. All right, it's been delayed a couple of times, but we're now at TuS twenty

one hours, twenty three minutes and fifty five seconds. That's when we are expecting the launch of Polaris Dawn from Cape Canaveral, part of the SpaceX mission. This is not the mission that is going to rescue the astronauts that the Boeing Starliner has left stranded in the International Space Station. Another embarrassing debacle for Boeing. The Boeing Starliner was supposed to send a couple up there, a couple of astronauts

for a week. They will be up there for a total of it looks like eight months, and so they're having to do resupply missions and all that, and apparently they're going to come back. SpaceX is modifying a mission and instead of sending four up, they're going to be sending two in a future mission, and they're going to send two extra space suits because the space suits that the two astronauts are wearing are not compatible with the SpaceX capsule, and so SpaceX is basically doing a rescue mission.

But it'll take a while anyway. Pilari's Dawn is interesting. It is the first commercial if you will. It's a five day orbital mission purchased by billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman. He's also the commander of the mission. They're going to go to heights that have not been reached since Apollo seventeen in nineteen seventy two, going to attempt a first ever commercial spacewalk. This is not for the feint of heart. I've spent a good bit of time reading up on

this mission. Have a bunch of notes here. The Dragon spacecraft that they're using does not have an airlock. So all four of the astronauts, two of them are SpaceX employees, one of them is Isaacman, and the mission pilot is Scott Potite, a longtime friend co worker with Isaacman. He served as mission director for another orbital mission in twenty

twenty one that was purchased from SpaceX by Isaacman. Isaacman's buying these missions to kind of test things out, ostensibly, you know, for his own purposes, I guess, but also so it's going to be a little bit of an experiment. Mission specialist Sarah gillis a SpaceX engineer and an astronaut trainer. She was in fact Isaacman's trainer for a previous mission.

And Ani Menon Companies Lead Space Operations engineer will serve as the medical officer on this mission, and so it's kind of an interesting mix of people that will be up there for five days, give or take. It's going to take ten minutes and within hours ten minutes to reach space. Within hours, it'll pass through the inner regions of the Van van Allen Belts. That is where there is a massive radiation belt that surrounds the Earth and

it is considered high risk according to NASA. The Earth's magnetosphere traps high energy radiation particles, shields the Earth from solar storms. The constantly streaming solar wind that can damage technology as well as people living on Earth. These trap particles form two belts of radiation known as the van Ellen Belts that surround the Earth like enormous doughnuts. And so they're gonna be at a height not reached since Apollo seventeen, and they're gonna be conducting a wide range

of experiments, including a spacewalk. They're gonna be wearing special contact lenses, their spacesuits are different. Everything's different on this mission from anything that's been tried before. So you can stream the thing live. You can watch this thing happen. SpaceX YouTube channel is the place to go for that. So just something on your calendar. They expect to launch later today, tonight, maybe in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

I guess if you're looking at the time shift, yea, it'll it'll be in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, twenty seven minutes after the hour. Do not leave me, trust me.

the stuff up. Big stories in the press box really kind of flows right out of that, because after I shut it down yesterday came word that Mark Zuckerberg has sent a letter to Congress, and I want, I want all of you to listen very carefully to this. Zuckerberg details in a letter to Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, that the Biden Harris administration pressured Facebook Meta to censor certain stories, certain Americans, certain storylines,

certain thoughts. It wasn't just Covid who's a hunter Biden laptop story. He has written and admitted that the FBI pressured him, that the White House, the administration of the President, pressured him, pressured the staff, pressured the team. I'll spare you the platitudes for now. I'll get into what he said in his letter next hour. Zuckerberg is Zuckerberg is saying we should have done better. We should have pushed back, would should have, could have. There are a few things

I want to point out here. Number one, we were right. So many of us were pilloried for our views on this subject. So many of us were shadow band we were deplatformed, we were pushed down. I'm no longer on Facebook because of it. The stories that we have been trying to point out that were true Hunter Biden laptop. Zuckerberg admitted that they pushed the story down and they kept it from moving anywhere because their fact checkers were busy looking into the story. He said, we were wrong.

Let's look at what's happened as a result of that level of censorship. Look who's in the White House, and look at the crap that's happened in this country. Then you've got COVID and all of the misinformation. There were people like me God hammered. I've shared this a couple times. Do you know that I personally had my name etched in styrofoam in front of people's homes in this community as a mock gravestone that was up during Halloween, saying it gave a date of death and it said, I

listened to Preston Scott. Honestly, that's kind of not funny. I was personally attacked for telling you the truth about COVID vaccines. My family saw that stuff, and so now we have the admission. I'm going to tell you next hour what I think this means Zuckerberg's decision to send this note and all kinds of documents forty minutes past the hour. Another big story. I'll get to it next.

WFLA another big story here, this of the consumer type, and because of its potential impact to some of you, Walmart recalling apple juice that was sold in twenty five stages due to arsenic levels. Now, before you freak out, arsenic is naturally occurring, and arsenic comes through the soil, and we don't do well with it. People that know have said that a simple processing change would solve most

of that kind of problem from ever happening. Because allegedly I'm not an expert, Arsenic accumulates in the seeds, and so when you grind the apples down to make the apple juice, if you don't core them first and get the core with the seeds out, then you have the possibility of arsenic levels cropping up too high. Now that's what some say. I don't know that for a fact,

but it doesn't really matter. Because the apple juice was sold as greape value apple juice in six pack plastic bottles, and because it's school time and a lot of you send that stuff with your kiddies to school, I wanted this on your radar, so it's a big story. It was sold in Alabama and Florida and Georgia as well as another twenty some odd states. It has a specific UPC number. I won't give you that because just too long, but it has a best if used by date of

December twenty eighth, twenty twenty four. It's a class to recall and that means that it is a situation which the use of or the exposure to the product could cause some health consequences, some of them serious. So safety first. So I'm just making you wear all right. See, that's what we do. Look at this massive story with the shaping of our nation and an apple juice rey call huh. I mean, where else do you go to find those two stories dominating what's being talked about? Just a little

bit of interest here in the media coverage. Did you notice that the mainstream media is trying to portray Kamala as a centrist. Here's why, because she's She's absolutely not, and they know that her extremist views, which they've shielded from you. More on that in the coming days. We've talked about it some the ten things that people don't know about that she believes and has advocated and legislated for. How is it that people don't know that because the

mainstream media is covering it. They're covering it up, They're shielding people from knowing the truth about her. And there's information coming out about the next debate, the first between Trump and Harris. She's apparently trying to rewrite the rules to the debate she agreed to, and well, we've got time. It's days away, so we got time to speak to that, and we will. But right now, Harris has received sixty six more a percent more airtime than Trump, and the

coverage has been more positive eighty four percent. Trump's coverage has been almost entirely eighty nine percent negative, Harris eighty four She's getting sixty six percent more airtime of the airtime she gets on the mainstream networks eighty four percent of those stories are positive. Trump's eighty nine percent negative, just saying and then there's a story in the Atlantic that accuses the Dems of just outright lying about her record. So there's there's some out there, but it's it's you're

being shielded from it. People are being shielded from it. Forty six past the hour, forty seven Sorry, stay with us. I told you we got a big show today. This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Yeah, third hour of the program. We're gonna do something I don't I don't generally do a lot of almost almost an open line segment almost. I want to narrow it down to two things. The admission of Zuckerberg that Facebook was censoring

on behalf of the Biden administration. That's huge. And I also want to give you a chance to talk about the plan that Florida Governor around A. Santus and a handful of others have advanced to develop inside of state parks. Now we had the first pullback on that, a proposed golf course Dickinson State Park has met its demise. They

will they will not proceed with the plan. I think it's John Dickinson State Park and it was on a military base that was inside a state park, and so they were going to convert the military base as old dilapidated base. I would submit that they could convert that to a lot of other things that would just be in keeping with the theme of a state park, as opposed to putting a golf course development in it. And

I love golf. But anyway, it appears as though the pushback that many of you feel very strongly about, and a bipartisan number of lawmakers feel the same as well as members of the Florida cabinet, it's it's having an impact, and so I just want to give you an opportunity to weigh in on that if you like. And so we're just I don't know how it's going to go,

because again I don't do this very often. We generally take calls once a week what's the beef, And then every now and then when there's something really kind of radioactive out there that I think you want to vent about. And there's just something about this Zuckerberg thing that makes me think that some of you are a little hot. And I don't blame you, because we have been we have been mocked for believing in that there were censorship going on social media, and then you've got people like

Alexander or Vinman. More on him later. Anyway, researchers have come up with a contrary finding on the dating and the age of the Shroud of turn Now. The shroud believed by many who are Christians to be the death shroud, the burial cloth of Jesus Christ skeptics there will always be and I don't know if it is or not, but the Institute of Chrystallography in Italy don't read anything into that name. They have dated it consistently now as

being better than two thousand years old. Other carbon dating studies of the shroud have shown it to be from the thirteen hundreds twelve hundreds, give or take. I don't know. Here's what I know. No one anywhere knows how the image was made. There's an image on the thing. It's almost like a negative. When it was photographed, it was determined, like my gosh, this is like a photo negative back in I want to say, the eighteen hundreds, early eighteen hundreds,

and it has been shrouded in mystery. What do you believe? Mourn and friends, ruminators, ladies and gentlemen, boys, and girls, men and women, males and females. It's The Morning Show with Preston's God. He's Jose I am Preston Show fifty two, twenty four. We were talking about the Shroud of Turin, and obviously faith plays a role in all of that. You know, I don't need the shroud to exist for my faith to be where it is. It doesn't bolster my faith or it doesn't diminish my faith. Regardless of

what anyone finds out about all of that. I just think it's one of those things that's man doesn't have an answer to, you know, it's it's it's not unlike a lot of things. For all that science offers, they still just don't know exactly how we came to be. I personally think it takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in creation. I think it takes more faith to believe that we originated from the primordial soup and evolved to this than to believe

in a creator. But that's just my convictions. There's an interesting string of stories here, and one of the things that I pointed out to my bosses many many years ago inside this company when I was asked why I talk about Jesus. I said, well, it's kind of simple. Most people believe in God. Now people have different conceptions of and certainly people worship in different churches and sing different songs and read different translations of the Bible. Right,

but there's a fundamental, a core belief in God. Even as our country pushes further away from there's still a core belief in God that the majority possess. And so from a just I'm a broadcaster, I'm not a narrow caster. I'm a broad caster, and so for me, it made sense to ignore the unwritten rule of broadcasting don't talk about religion. Screw that. Why would I not talk about something that seven or eight out of ten people believe in have part of their life. I don't the percentage

that is. So I just felt like I was being a bit of a contrarian. But I was being a pretty you know, I think sophisticated broadcaster in saying no, we need to tap into and talk about those things. And so I tend to gravitate to things, whether it's that topic, whether it's views on societal issues that others feel uncomfortable talking about. I've always been comfortable talking about things. It doesn't matter what it is. I'm good. I don't get offended when people have a differing opinion or idea.

We've lost that in our country. I mean people have lost friendships over holding a different opinion. What anyway, I saw this story and it came from one of our research assistants. I think it was the lead research assistant that said this, and it just it just hit me as really and it's Okalla, Florida. So it's a Florida story. Here's the headline. Okaala, the city of files notice of appeal after prayer vigil ruled unconstitutional. But hold on. The

story originates in September ten years ago. What what? Oh? Yeah, We're going to unpack that next. This is a fascinating story about the mythical separation of church and state, and it defines it defines kind of where we are right now, and I think it's fascinating. That's why I want to talk about it. We'll do that next ten minutes past the hour, little weather in traffic. Right back with more

of the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott on News Radio one hundred point seven WFLA. This story goes back to September twenty fourth, twenty fourteen, when a vigil was held in Okalla after a bunch of shootings took place in the community. Four people filed a lawsuit in November after attending the vigil. It named the defendants the city, the mayor at the time, the police chief at the time, and it took years for this case to find its way through the court.

The American Humanist Association, which represents the plaintiffs, challenged the vigil, and a ruling came from a federal judge, Timothy Corrigan, back in June. This June nearly ten years, so it's taken nearly ten years for this silly thing to go through the court system. The judge ruled that the city violated the Establishment clause of the Constitution by organizing and carrying out a pervigil, that if individuals had done it and it had not originated from the city, it would

have been fine and protected. The American Center for Law and Justice is defending the city. Per vigil is consistent with Americans longtime tradition of government and private citizens calling and gathering for prayer during difficult times. It is a freedom that our nation's founder sought to secure rather than prohibit through the ratification of the First Amendment. They're going

to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn. This was sent back to the judge for reconsideration because of a case that the United States Supreme Court ruled on the case involving the high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington.

You may remember, the judge wrote, though in his reconsideration, which he did, if individuals or religious groups had organized the prayer vigil gathered in the downtown square for an end of violent crime, even with law enforcement attending, the First Amendment of the United States would have protected the free exercise of their religion. But because the city conceived, organized, promoted, and conducted the prayer vigil, it violated the establishment clause

of the First Amendment. Corgan said, the case involving the football coach are far different from those gear. So here we are. I think what I wanted to use this case to illustrate is a long held look I have. My wife will frequently remind me that I probably, in another life, should have gone into law, because my mind thinks in that world I think of arguments. I'm an apologist in my heart about things that I believe passionately in, and I believe that the argument is that the founders.

First of all, there is no separation, right. We do know that as a baseline. And for those of you that have not heard me talk about this before, this is like Morning Show with Preston Scott one on one. If I were to pull America and ask where's the separation of church and state? Found in what government document? A lot of people would say the Constitution, some might say the Declaration of It's in nothing. It's not in

any legal document, founding document. It's in a private letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Baptist Convention of Danbury, Connecticut. It comes from a private letter. Jefferson's point was, don't worry Baptists. The federal government will have no say in favoring any church over another church, one denomination over another. We left the Church of England behind. See that's where this all comes from. The freedom of religion comes from the impact of the Church of England on our founders.

They recognized the dangers of a state dominated church. So Jefferson penned eloquently, there will be a wall of separation. He never intended and it was not expressed in any way, shape or form that churches, religion, faith God should not impact government, just that government should not impact faith and God and church and so forth, and it will not

favor one over another. Here's my argument, though, the acknowledgment of God is not an establishment of a church or a religion, the acknowledgment of a God, which, by the way, God is over any and everything, whether anyone believes it or not is up to them. This did this prayer vigil. No one was made to go, no one was forced to go. And so my hope is and I'm going to see if I can get somebody from the American

Legal American Center for Law and Justice. I know Jay Sechelo a little bit, and I think it's his brother, maybe his son Jason. That's Jordan involved in this. But anyway, I just wanted this on your radar. It's an interesting case, but it just sort of shows where we are today. All right, seventeen past the alum back with more kind of sort of on this next and Iheart's radio season. All right, as I figure out how I'm gonna get through the maze that is on their website to reach

and I was correct. Jordan's Seklo, the executive director for the group, is related to j Sechlo. He's Jay's son. Go figure. I guess Jay's just a little bit older than me. Huh, go figure. Anyway, I'm I'm gonna figure that one out. I'm gonna figure out how to get him. It's what we do. We reach for the fences. We swing and swing and swing. We have had a long standing relationship with a compatriot in the fight for all things good and decent, and that is the Liberty Council

LC dot org. Matt Staver, its founder, longtime friend of the program. I think I got introduced to Matt through Ken Connor. And some of you might remember the name Ken Connor. Ken was Tallahassee, a resident and practicing attorney and a a warrior for life. And that's how I got to know Matt many years ago and reach out to him. He sent out a note yesterday and this is staggering Liberty Councils taking on a case of an Army National Guard officer who was relieved of his command

because of his Christian beliefs. I don't I mean, look Idaho has some people that are kind of out there, you know what I'm saying out there on the right. On his social media account, Officer John Doe shared his Christian viewpoints with friends and family. Posts includes statements that no child is born in the wrong body, pornographic books don't belong in school libraries, drag queens should not be allowed to perform their highly sexualized routines in elementary schools.

All the posts were made in John's private capacity. The Idaho Army National Guard is removed him from his command and is trying to force him out of the military. What's interesting is the investigation by the officer in charge formally recommends that all full time National Guard members social media accounts be thoroughly scrutinized for similar Christian viewpoints and have found those members should be reported to the Department

of Defense Counterintelligence and Insider Threat Hub for adjudication as extremists. Now, there are a few things here. This is a very interesting issue because there are there are guidelines to free speech as an employee. But this is interesting because this involves serving our country in the military and your core beliefs in your faith. You know, there's certainly a line that says you can't criticize your boss, for example, and so I'll be fascinated to see about this. We'll certainly

have Matt Staver on to discuss. Twenty seven past the hour, we will move to the big stories in the press box and if you miss last hour, do not miss this one. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Isn't it interesting that Telegram CEO Pavel Dorov was arrested after the Olympics in Paris. This is a free speech issue, it would appear, and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, who many would perhaps accurately describe as a socialist, said

this was not a political arrest. No, no, no, I have seen false information regarding France following the arrest of Pavel d' rave said France is deeply committed to freedom of expression and communication, to innovation, to the spirit of entrepreneurship. It will remains so in a state governed by the rule of law. Freedoms are upheld within the legal framework, both on social media and in real life. The arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place

as part of an ongoing judiciar investigation. It is no way political. It's up to the judges to rule on this matter. Okay, okay, whatever you say, Emmanuel. The big story in the press box is related. And you know what I think. I'm gonna just for a second here, bear with me. I want to see if this is a big story on say the CNN website. No, We've got the debate Supreme Court, Mariah Carey. The ocean is overflowing, reports were on Pacific sea level rise outstrips global average.

How is that possible? No, really, how is that possible? The seas are pretty much all interconnected. So if the sea levels r anyway, I see squirrel, I'm off and running. But there is no mention at least above the fold. Here there we go, way down below. Mark Zuckerberg says Meta was pressured by Biden administration as censor COVID related content. Oh that's not all. The Hunter Biden laptop story was also phone calls made by the FBI. See the FBI can make your life really hell if it wants to.

Mark Zuckerberg has sent a letter to Jim Jordan, head of the House Judiciary Committee, admitting that it was pressured by the Biden White House to censor information. And it happened by the FBI before Biden took office with the Hunter Biden laptop story. See that proves how deeply implanted this stuff is in the deep state. Before the Democrats even took control of the White House, they were pressuring Facebook Zuckerberg's people to suppress stories on the Hunter Biden laptop.

Let me just see. So it's below. It's what's called below the fold. It's not a big story to see. Ann Let's see about USA Today. I have a prediction, but I'll not make it. Let's see. Is it above the fold? No, We've got Georgia lawsuit on election laws. We've got the Yale fertility Center patients, price of happiness, California police red lobster army soldier used AI to create child's sex abuse images. Got nothing on the zuck More top stories. Is it there? Is it there? Nope? Not

there either. Isn't that interesting? USA Today's got nothing on it on its front page. At least you scroll down a little bit, it's still not there. I'm scrolling, I'm still not seeing anything. It's just it's it's typical everything that many of us have been saying for years, at least four of them now documented. Zuckerberg admits it. I told you I was going to tell you the deeper meaning. I think ready. I think Zuckerberg's reading the tea leaves.

I think Zuckerberg senses a change in the wind, if you will. I think he's trying to get ahead of it. I think he's hedging his bets. I think he thinks Trump's gonna win. Forty minutes past the hour, Another big story coming up next.

I want to see any and all communication between Biden administration officials, the FBI, and Zuck and anyone in leadership at Facebook or Meta. That's what I want to see. I'll go ahead and say it on behalf of a bunch of us. I told you, we told you so. We told you they were suppressing. We told you they were shadow banning. We told you that they were deplatforming, that they were calling accurate truthful information disinformation. Misinformation is

making a mistake. It's misinformation. Disinformation is putting information out that is intentionally knowingly wrong. That's there are your definitions. These guys were engaged in both, but they were largely engaged in disinformation, and that's sinister. Alexander Vinman, retired Lieutenant colonel. He was a witness in the impeachment trial against Donald Trump, said the arrest of Pavel Durov in France is a warning.

who I think is patently evil. I think Vinman is too I think Vinman's a scary individual, and this comment about free speech didn't age very well because within a day you've got Zuckerberg coming out admitting that they were censoring speech, they were censoring accurate information, they were censoring true stories and suppressing those stories like the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop. Vin Men's comment makes him a joke, and I hope people are pointing

it out. The other big story Walmart recalling apple juice. Here's why it matters. Moms dads. You probably sent apple juice with your kiddos to school, and they're recalling a lot of it that was sold in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, among maybe twenty other states. It's the great value eight ounce apple juice sold in six packs in plastic bottles.

They're the little pet plastic bottles, and so it's a class to recall, which means there's significant risk of getting sick from the levels of arsenic that is naturally found being way too high. Our bodies don't do well with too much arsenic. Just saying it has a best if used by date of December twenty eighth, twenty twenty four,

so if in doubt throw it out. But this is now an active recall that's underway right now again Walmart great value Apple juice eight ounce bottles in the plastic bottles. All right, forty six past the hour. We got a manly minute. Also a phone segment coming up. We'll tell you about next. Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I have long said the audience

of this is just constantly amazing me. And I mean this with all sincerity when I when I say this, my life is better and enriched because of you, your shared experiences, knowledge, relationships, resources. It just staggers my mind. We're talking about the Shroud of Turn and one of the research assistants, in fact, the research assistant supervisor of the program sends me photos of himself at the cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, known as the Turn Cathedral

in Turn, Italy. He was there this this this past year. He's right right behind the curtain. The Pope allows for it to be viewed or not viewed, the Shroud of Turn, but it's there, he said, it was really cool to be that close, to just be it's right behind that curtain, and you've got photos of it, of him in that cathedral, and they've got a replica of it that they put up, but the actual shroud is behind the curtain. It's crazy, crazy, all right, here's the deal. You're gonna either reward me

or punish me for this. I don't know, but I'm gonna do it. There are a few topics that I feel as though you may want to discuss, but I'm not gonna limit you. I'm gonna actually just say if you'd like to talk about what's going on and the proposal and the Florida State parks. I can tell you that Florida lawmakers and their aids listen to the show. I know that members of the Cabinet and their staff

listen to the show. And if you want to express your feelings about the potential of developing parts of state parks for golf and pickleball and even lodging perhaps or not. I mean you could be for it, you could be against it. Most people seem to be way against it. Call you can call and talk about that. Eight five

zero two zero five to Bfla's the number. You know that number ose standing by if you want to talk about Zuckerberg's admission that Facebook and to whatever degree Instagram Meta was censoring people for at least four and a half years. Now you're welcome the wigh in on that. Now it's not what's the beef. I want to hear your thoughts on whatever. Those two topics are top of the list. But if you want to talk about something else, that's fine. I'm gonna do that potentially for the next

half hour. Now, I have all kinds of things to talk about, but I'm gonna do this. It's just us today, don't guess. But you you're my guest, So if you'd like to call in, you may do so. In the meantime, it's time for another edition of a Manly Minute. Remember mail by birth, man by choice. These are skills, virtues, ideals, thoughts, ways to turn your son into a man. These are important cues to teach your son so the one day you can look at him and say, you, sir, you

have turned into a fine young man. Man. Teach your son the traits of leadership, and school provides a wonderful set of opportunities. For example, being a leader in the classroom by minding the teacher. Teach your son to give a stern look to a classmate who's disobeying. Hey, you know, not to you know, just a look, but no. Teach your son the traits of being a leader, setting a good example, admitting when they've made a mistake, in group settings,

involving everybody. That's what leaders do. And I'm convinced there are some leaders that are are just they're just born that way. Others are created. Let your son be one or the other or both. Enhance the leadership skills you know he's been given. There's a man only minute. All right, the phone lines are open eight five zero two zero five to w FLA. We've got the topics. It's up to you. Eight five zero two zero five ninety three fifty two. Boldly going where we seldom go. Next on

the Morning Show with Preston Scott. All right, we have callers standing by and we welcome you. And it seems as though the topic desire will be Florida State Parks. But you're welcome to call in about something else if you like. But I'm happy to let you have your say because I know that the upcoming meetings are not going to necessarily be where you can be when you can be there and I want you to have a chance to have your voice heard on the idea. Now I want to set the stage here. Welcome to the

third out the Morning Show with Preston Scott. I'm Preston. He's jose taking calls eight five zero to zero five WFLA. Now this really hit my I mean, I knew about it, but I I guess you could smack me in the head on this one. I missed it, and that's fair. The governor and others and I don't necessarily have the ability to explain who the others are. Believe that the state parks are underutilized even though they're visited by thirty

million people a year. I guess is the number. Jeremy Redfern, who is the press secretary for Governor de Santa, has said Teddy Roosevelt believe the public parks were for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, and we agree with him. But it's high time we made public lands more accessible to the public. And so they're idea the plan as it's been explained to me, and as I've researched, and I forgive me, I've got a thousand things in front

of me. It could be adding lodging, certain types of hotels, cabins, disc golf, golf, pickleball at state parks. And in one of those rare occasions, it seems as though Democrats, Republicans, and even members of Florida's cabinet do not agree with this idea or plan, and there's pushback. At least one golf course has been canceled, at least from one developer. But what do you think? And so I'm taking your calls and I want to hear what you have to say.

Eight five zero two zero five WFLA Roy thanks for calling in.

the base into cabins or anything like that. You want to develop another golf course which turns into a hotel, which turns into non access for the outdoorsmen to the outdoors. It's you're talking about just bringing in another area for tourists to go that don't utilize and don't care about the environment, and then we'll complain about, oh, you know, the water's bad, this is bad. Well, who did it? We did by allowing more development of the nature that's

already there, and it's a conservation. That should be the last thing we should do is mess up what is already there.

I don't know the accuracy of what the foundation does. With accuracy, I should say, but that's the one that's been shut down at least for now by the developer saying, yeah, we're not going to proceed with this idea, we'll maybe find another place to do something like this and earn money for or whatever the charity might be. Case. Richard, Chris, you are next. I'm gonna I've set the table. It's all about your calls. Next eight five zero two zero

five to WFLA State Parks. What are your thoughts? Ten minutes past the hour, It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. It's the Morning Show with Preston Scott. We got some callers want to talk about the Facebook admission by Mark Zuckerberg. We'll get to that as well, but first we're going back to the phone lines to talk to Is it k C or KC?

obliterate the views of the pristine beaches. Popsail is already over crowded, but there are specific trails and woods there that are preserved for wildlife. And the same for Grayton where they've got se oats and sand dunes. I mean, this is ridiculous. We need to preserve real Florida.

planning to do that anyway. I don't see why we couldn't because you know, my wife hates camping, but we love parts. So it's usually a day trip. It's usually a situation where we don't stay overnight, which means we come back home. Limits what parks we go to. So if there was a place like Topsail where they had little cabins or a hotel or something with amenities, it would make the parks more enjoyable to people who you know, aren't aren't into camping, or don't own a camp or so.

maybe even integrated into the environment and such that. You know, if it was a Spanish settlement, maybe they're small Spanish themed type things and you're something that could could blend in without being too commercial in appearance.

previous color made a very interesting point. Not everybody loves to camp, but they really enjoy being in the parks. Is there room for certain types of low impact? I liked his terminology, housing lodging to be made available, not housing lodging to be made made available. I can say that, Bill, Thanks for calling in.

that fixed. By all means, let's look at priven our state parks.

the other issues. Yeah, I think that Governor de Santas is looking at the perspective he has, He's gotten a lot done, and I think he feels like this is an area that he can do more. But it would seem not everybody agrees with that, Patricia, Thanks for calling in.

eco friendly as possible. And you put a golf course next to a park, especially a park that has water sources right there, like a spring or a beach or whatever, think about the chemicals that will get that will seep into the ground to support that golf course. And on top of that, you know, I just think that that even then of the organization Tuskegee Danes, I just looked it up and they are a legitimate five oh one company,

but in Florida right now. They have two lobbyists that they have hired and one of the organization they're based in Oklahoma. And I just think that the name of the organization is a false kind of a way to make them look like they're supporting and they're doing all this great stuff, and maybe they do support veterans. It appears that they do. But this is not the right place.

And I just think that somebody's getting in there trying to get in to some land that they think they can get, as another caller said, for a song, and then go in there and do what they want. They will destroy our parts. We do not need another golf course. And the thing is you take away property for a golf course, what you're doing is you're allowing access basically to a limited number of people as opposed to everyone golf court. I mean, parks are not expenses to get

into and they are wonderful to enjoy. So that's that's my thing.

public meetings. You might not be able to attend, but you could join us here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

love Georgia's state parks. We've been to many of them, go all the time. Our plan is to visit them all. See that kind of drills back to the comment that one made about do it in a way to coexist. Others will say yeah, but the very act of doing damages and endangers the parks. It'll be interesting. It will be interesting. We got money Talk coming up in just a few minutes. Big stories in the press box real quickly. Mark Zuckerberg admits that Meta Facebook was pressured by the

Biden administration. They provided documents and he regrets what he did. I think he's reading the tea leaves myself. That's just me COVID Hunter, Biden laptop. All of this and more covered under the suppression and Walmart recalling Apple juice in twenty five states due to arsenic levels. Now, arsenic is naturally found, so don't be alarmed on that. Just be alarmed by the fact that there's a recall and it

does affect Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Great Value brand eight ounce Apple juice sold in six pack plastic bottles under the recall, so be advised. Forty minutes past the hour, Money Talk with Howard Heisman on deck, This is the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

Howard, it seems as though artificial intelligence is the thing everybody's either embracing it or running scared of it. Is it showing up in the markets in any way, shape.

since then annualized. Okay, And that's okay, But the standard Vores five hundred index on its own, not machine traded, has returned about thirty eight percent during the same time, so only a third of the gain of the passive index. But presson, I would add, if we go back to that great competition between IBM's computer Watson and Ken Jennings, the machine got the best of them.

packages exceeded eight billion. And Preston, I actually think that numbers probably understated because you know, somebody steals a you know, a package, it's just worth five ten bucks. You're probably not going to even bother reporting it.

second half of the year. So more volatility, and my suspicion and counsel to your listeners is you might want to get used to it, because I think that increase volatility will likely be here and after all, it is an election year.

flying junkie, just a geek on the subject. Wish I'd been able to keep going and get my private license, but I did solo, So that's a bucket list for me. I read Flying Magazine and I read Less a bend a lot, and I'm guessing that's how you pronounce his last name. Less is three decades plus flying for American airlines and now supplies. He might do corporate jet that

kind of thing, but he's a columnist, regular columnist. Anyone that reads the magazine knows he had an interesting piece about replacing airline pilots with artificial intelligence, and I decided I'd swing for the fences, see if I can get him, and he replied, And so we're going to try to work out getting him on the show for an extended chat on the subject. And then I would love to just kind of connect and have him weigh in on

stuff like this and related matters over time. But once again, we just we go for it, and more times than not, God just gives us favor and we have just amazing guests. Thanks to you, the ruminators who make this all work and possible. Tomorrow on the program on the subject of guests, Owen Girard, he wrote a piece in a paper, a USA Today paper that was actually published. I was shocked where he describes his journey from liberal to conservative and why he he left liberalism. He's going to join us

in studio tomorrow. We're gonna have a lengthy sit down. We're just going to talk. It's a young guy. Find out what he's doing now. I want to know about the journey. I want to know how he how he how he ended up where he did to begin with, and what got him out of it? What was there a red pill moment? Is there? I mean, was there something that triggered it all? I don't know. I know the stories of others, but I'm going to be fascinated

to learn that. Also tomorrow, Losing America's Memory two point zero interesting insights into how American history is being erased in education and uh Kamala claims she was the last person in the room. When when was she the last person in the room. We'll let her tell you. It's an interesting insight there as well. All that and more coming on tomorrow's program, brought to you by Barono Heating and Air. It's the Morning Show one on WLA. Push back at the radio program in one hundred and eighty

seconds or less. Outstanding phone segment with you ruminators. Well done, good comments, good insights, feelings, opinions. On the possibility of Florida developing state parks, I think there's room for something. I just don't think we've heard the plan yet that works for me personally. But that's just you know, I'm

just meta. CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitting in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan that yes, the Biden Harris administration pressured the company to censor you and me. I'm going to wear that as a badge of honor. I was censored by Biden. I can claim that. Now. Yeah, Facebook was the pawn, but I was censored by Biden and Kamala. Come on, I wear that proudly.

plastic bottles. Parents be aware. Researchers say the shroud of Turin is in fact old enough to be just saying. And then we talked about that Polaris down Dawn mission and gave you the kind of the nuts and bolts of what they're going to try to do and where they're going to try to do it. They're going to go higher into space than anyone's been since nineteen seventy two, into the radioactive belts that are a little bit dangerous. So I can't wait. Tomorrow's programs twenty one hours away.

Friends will meet them
