A highlight from The Central Contradiction of the Modern Left with Glenn Ellmers
"The U .S. dollar has lost 85 % of its value since the 70s, when the dollar decoupled from gold, and the government seems bent on continuing the tradition. Charlie Kirk here. From now until after the elections, the government can print as much money as they want. The last time they did that, inflation went up 9%.

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Very important guest, someone that has taught me a lot the last, I think, six months. I'm taking several classes, enough to make your head spin, with the amazing Claremont Institute. They have these online evening courses that push you intellectually, and they're just amazing. And right now I'm doing with Michael Anton on Machiavelli, if you can get a word in edgewise. But the guest is the man behind all of that with a very, very important book called The Narrow Passage, Plato, Foucault, and the Possibility of Political Philosophy, by Glenn Elmers. Glenn, thank you for taking time. Welcome to the program. Thank you, Charlie. Great to be here. You're one of my favorite students. Well, thank you. I actually do the reading. And I have a lot to catch up for because I didn't go to college. Tell us about your book, Glenn. Excited to talk about this. Sure. The elevator pitch is I'm trying to understand some of the philosophical background behind what we could call the woke regime crisis. So the country's in bad shape. We're under a lot of stress. There's tremendous tension. We seem to be under the rule of a kind of strange deranged ideology. So I'm trying to make sense of both the left and the right, some contradictions and internal incoherence on the left. Why? Why does woke ideology seem so strange and bizarre and angry? And so I'm trying to think through some of the ideas, the deeper issues that brought us to where we are. So let's start with the first, Plato. You know, an elementary understanding of Plato, you know, you'd contrast with Aristotle kind of more into abstractions, more into the ideals. The famous, I think, was Raphael's School of Athens pointing to the sky, kind of talking about that in the clouds, Aristotle focusing more on what we can materially see or empirically see. So Plato, obviously being prolific, not something that I consider myself an expert in, nor any of our audience. How would Plato connect with the modern woke? What did he, the first ever philosopher, start the modern project of woke liberalism? He did sort of, and I don't want to make this sound too simplistic, and it would be too simplistic to say all this can be traced directly to Plato's feet, but in a way he is the original source both of our problems and I would say our solutions. Okay, what do I mean by that? The problem is in a way Plato, following his great teacher Socrates, introduced the idea of bringing reason into political life. And in a way that's perfectly sensible, right? We don't want to be governed by superstition and mindless barbaric traditions. We want to be able to make intelligent distinctions. We don't want to live according to deranged, disgusting, primitive religious idolatries, right? And so we want to think reasonably and rationally about how we should conduct ourselves and organize our politics. And Plato is in a way the first to do that, to think about bringing reason and rational thought into politics. But in a way that's also the source of our problems because in a way that's now become deranged, especially in the course of modern philosophy, introducing the idea that experts should rule us without our consent. That you can have people who are so wise, so smart, so well trained, that they can become philosopher kings and we no longer need the consent of government. We can get rid of limits on the government and the wise expert class will simply rule us for our own good. That's obviously a real problem. So Plato in a way is the source of the problems, but in a way I would also say points us to the solution, which is to get back to taking political philosophy seriously. So let's focus on the philosopher king aspect of this. There has been this repeated incantation in the media. Trust the experts, trust the experts, trust the experts. I can't help but think that this is in some ways an extension of the administrative state and I do want to get into that because I think that is what happens when you have this group of people that almost could be say they have the secret gnosis, the secret mind, the secret society, that they know better than us. So can you help build this out? There's a fair amount of pride or hubris, but also Plato said this is how politics should be formed, that you have people that know better because they've been trained and because they went to the right schools. And in some ways, Glenn, the problem with the American project as it is today, we're living under the tyranny of living in the clouds who call themselves philosopher kings. Right. Now it's important to remember when Plato wrote this famous book, The Republic, where he talks about the philosopher kings, he makes it so extreme, so radical, so outrageous and unreasonable that a lot of intelligent scholars say he was being ironic. He was trying to show you just how crazy it would be to live under this regime of philosopher kings in order to point to the limits of politics, precisely to show you the limits of trying to make all political life rational. And in a way then to show we have to be more moderate in our expectations from politics. We have to be sensible about what we can actually achieve in political life. And so it's a lesson in moderation if you understand the philosopher king as sort of an ironic, outrageous idea, which points to something then more sensible. But in modern philosophy, the idea of the philosopher king is taken seriously. And why that happens is an interesting story. It partly has to do with this idea of the end of history. You know, Charlie, Fukuyama and this German thinker Hegel. And the idea is history is unfolding in a process, right? There's an element of that that leads to Marx. And we now are much wiser than the people in the past. We figured things out. We have all the answers. And since we have all the answers and we figured everything out, let's just go ahead and implement all the all the solutions. And that's the presumption of the left, which is we figured everything out. We're so smart and wise and we don't need any limits. We don't need your consent. We're just going to go ahead and do what we think is best. Yeah. As Wilson said, we don't want to muddy up the business of government with politics, a .k .a. we don't want elections to get in the way because we figured it out. Hilariously, Glenn, as a side note, this has been a theme we've talked about is that we're told by our leaders they figured it all out. Yet we can't fight fires anymore. We can't manage our border. We can't do the very basic stuff. I think this would be a time for mass humility, not massive narcissistic pride. Right. No, that's an excellent point. The crisis of expertise is that the bigger their ambitions, the bigger their goals, the less competent they are in doing it. The ordinary things that were actually done. Like making your bed. Yeah, exactly. You know, people complain about the corrupt city machines of the 19th century, you know, Mayor Curly and the big city. But, you know, they built bridges and libraries and roads and things worked and they actually got a lot done during this so -called era of corruption. Oh, I mean, I'm a child of the Chicago suburbs. I've always said that I would rather have the corrupt politician than the ideological one. And our audience attacks me for saying that. I would rather have Mayor Daley who sells out for a buck with the unions. But there was low crime. The trains ran on time. It was a beautiful city. And yeah, he was obviously on the dole. He was obviously cutting deals, but he didn't have some sort of abstract revolution that he was trying to bring forth to Chicago. He just wanted to get paid. That's the idea, right? So this petty corruption in a way, you know, is the idea that if you can make politics perfect and get rid of all the corruption, you make matters worse. This utopian idea that we can achieve perfection, we can achieve heaven here on earth, it doesn't solve the problem of corruption because people are still self -interested. What it does, though, is introduce these vast unrealistic schemes that leave ordinary day -to -day function behind. And so we can't, our bridges and our roads and our schools don't work anymore while we're trying to achieve, you know, diversity and economic justice and all these ridiculous things. And basic infrastructure falls by the wayside. Yeah, I mean, our military, unfortunately, is falling apart. And basic infrastructure, basic things like getting your kids to read, having your young people not kill themselves at record rates, like really kind of basic indicators that your society is healthy. Almost every single one of those is going in the wrong direction. And yet the lecturing we receive is about viva la revolution. We will bring forth diversity and equity. There's this amazing clip, which is Hegel. It's Al Sharpton and Kamala Harris. And I don't know if you saw this, it was MSNBC. You have to have a trained ear to catch it. And Obama said something similar where they talk about this arc of justice, right? How history folds itself out. And meanwhile, you know, the observer that is walking around the cities, these people govern is like the people are defecating, they're doing drugs. The kids aren't in school, but they're like, hey, no, but the revolution is what matters. There's a lot there that I want to unpack. The book, I want you guys to read it, The Narrow Passage, Plato, Foucault, and the Possibility of Political Philosophy. And oh boy, we are going to get to Michel Foucault because that, he was a trickster. I'll tell you what.

New Study Exposes Dangers of Mask-Wearing
"There's another piece out. This time in the great journal of the city journal, along with the Claremont review of books, to the best, but the two best journals today, there are many, many fine ones, by the way, really are in great websites. But these are journals as well. Well, a lot of the titled the harem caused by masks, a new study suggests that the excess carbon dioxide breathed in by mask wearers can have major health consequences. It's an interesting question. How is it that I with no science background? Was right about lockdowns and masks and vaccinations. And the vast majority of doctors were wrong. I mean, really, really, really wrong, dangerously wrong, frighteningly wrong. How is that? That's another interesting question like how does a good society produce bad people? How is it that a lay person like me? Was right on masks, lockdowns, and COVID vaccines, which I never took, by the way. Got COVID twice, at least twice. I may have had it again. I don't bother testing anymore.

Jeremy Carl Exposes Montana's "Transurrectionists"
"Carl from the wonderful Claremont institute, Jeremy, I find it interesting the left, they scream about January 6th insurrection, but we see them time and time again behavior behaving in very similar fashion, taking over state houses, mostly the trans world though. And that I really want to build that out because you're a deep thinker and a really well published writer. But we'll get into that as we go. I want to know what your ideas of where this ideology comes from and how we could properly diagnose it. But tell us about what happened in Missoula, state capitol, what's going on? Helena. How old are not Missoula? Go ahead. Yeah, well, we had these transactions as I call them come in yesterday and attempt to disrupt the meeting of the state House, essentially doing a bunch of chance and trying to shut down the House business. And this is a really big deal because as a small state, we only have a legislature that meets three months every two years. We've got a lot of business to get done in a short amount of time and when we have a disruption like this, it puts a bunch of things on the legislative agenda off that agenda and it creates some real problems. Yeah, so who was the driving force of it and was it legal? Well, it definitely wasn't legal. And the good news is that we arrested 7 of them, some of them were actors, although, you know, and it's funny because the people in Montana are such decent people, you know, as what are these people being let out in handcuffs, the arresting cop, and this is on video somewhere apologized for misgendering them at some point. What do you guys Canada? And basically a lot of them to give an impromptu interview to all these news media who were there. And again, it's not that this cop is a bad guy. He's just not used to dealing with these sorts of malevolent actors.

"Government at Claremont McKenna college in California, and he has been writing about China's recent sentencing of two prominent human rights lawyers, mentioned, thank you so much for being with us. It's a real pleasure, and this strikes you on a personal note, you knew or you do know one of these attorneys and I'm curious, based on your understanding, how did we arrive at the situation? What are the accusations? The accusations are completely unjustified. Well, first of all, I'm talking about doctor, should see on I met him only once. Many, many years, can probably 15, 16 years ago, so our mutual friend, he was a time university lecturer of law. And this time, it was China had this very vague criminal category called subversion of state power. And it's really an umbrella category, you can use it to charge somebody with all sorts of things. And specifically, we really don't know what doctor she did. What we do know was that he was the he learned in the fall of 2019 that the government was going to arrest him. Bearing in mind as mister Shu was released from jail only two years ago. Two years before that. And so he was on the run. And when he was on the run, COVID broke out a hero to let asking Xi Jinping to step down to the responsibility. So he was exercising his freedom of speech, which incidentally is guaranteed under Chinese constitution. So I'm curious, if you take this a step further and look at what the message from the government is, it seems clear no dissent, right? And I'm wondering whether or not this tighter restriction we can talk about whether China has had the same level of litigation risk when it comes to human rights during earlier administrations. But whether there is a real risk of driving the resistance that people may be feeling to these types of restrictions, driving it underground or is that basically an impossibility given the lack of information and the powerful force of surveillance in China. Yes. Well, if I answer a question, I want to explain that mister Xi doctor xiu came to prominence many years ago in 2003. And for about ten years, the government allowed him to do basically what he wanted, which was to promote constitutional rights. And now I think what is happening is that the company has basically arrested everybody in that is a dissident. So we really don't have any open dissent. In China today. And I'm afraid that what is going to happen is to radicalize people who people like doctor Shu. So he used to think that you can change the system from within by moderate means. But in the future, if that route has cut off, then we could see a lot of radicalization. In terms of consequence now, are you do you have a sense of what doctor shum may be facing and his colleague what they may be facing? Well, in the case of doctor shut his 50 and he's already spent four years in jail, bear in mind. And he sends us to 14 years, so he was arrested three years ago. So that's so we're talking about 11 more years, this may innocent man. Idealistic man will be languishing in the Chinese jail by the time he comes out. He'll be 61. So there was an open letter that he wrote. Can you tell me a little bit about that? Yeah. When he was on the run and the way he was on the run, COVID broke out and he asked Xi Jinping the Chinese leader to take responsibility. And stepped up. So of course that was not going to happen. And shortly after the letter was posted, he was arrested. Incidentally, the government never announced his arrest, his trial in June last year was in secret. And lawyers were not allowed even to attend. And we did not know about this until this week about his 14 year sentence. Mention, thank you so much for being with us and shedding some very important light on this story about the recent

What Happened, Leftists?
"One of the key planks in the mega platform is anti globalism. But it was the left who invented that movement in the late 1990s, right? One of the key events was the battle in Seattle of 1999, where a large gathering of people protesting the W 20 ended up in a violent clash with local police in a scene that older participants likened it to the 1960s. The protesters were comprised of members of NGOs, along with steel workers, environmentalists, aids activists, farmers, anti capitalists, anarchists, students, and concerned local citizens. Not exactly the cpac set. So what happened leftists? Did you betray your principles or were you always just lying about them? I mean, there's a reason why people claim leftists are always accusing their opponent of what they are guilty of. In their back rooms, they may be laughing among themselves about how easy it was to pull off such a grand deception to those people. But they have yet to grapple with the upshot that no Democrat can ever claim to be grassroots again. Leftists are very upset that the Claremont institute recently released a database of corporate donors to BLM last Tuesday, a clearly reframes even the party's street level activists as little more than globalist corporate pawns. One of the major criticisms of the database is that it includes BLM adjacent organizations, some of which have very little relationship to the communist nonprofit, as donations to BLM itself. But it's clear from the linked evidence that Claremont wasn't playing fast and loose with the associations. There were simply adopting the same logic as BLM's own corporate supporters. Which was also the exact same logic used by none other than The Washington Post when they published in August 2021 article chiding delinquent mega corporations for failing to follow through on their pledges to BLM the year prior.

Claremont Institute Fellow Jeremy Carl on Anti-White Discrimination
"The great successes of the Trump presidency that I don't think he got enough credit for president Trump was what he was able to do with the federal bench. One of the reasons why I support Donald Trump in 2024 is because of how clear and courageous he was in putting constitutionalist judges on both the Supreme Court and on the federal bench. It's a little nerdy and wonky, not everybody enjoys hearing about it, but these are people with enormous amounts of power. To interpret the constitution of whether or not your liberties and freedoms deserve to be protected or taken away. Someone's been really tracking someone's in tracking this in a really interesting way. I met him a year and a half ago at the Claremont institute deal. The Lincoln fellowship was tons of fun. I'm actually in the middle of another Claremont class right now, which is very challenging and worthwhile. And he's done some fabulous research on this and I look forward to discussing it with him. Jeremy Karl is with us. Jeremy, welcome to the program. Much, Charlie. Pleasure to be on. So Jeremy, walk us through your tweet and explain it to us where you say, quote, anti white discrimination in the Biden administration is universal, not just in the judiciary. What do you mean by that? Well, I mean, I think if you look throughout the administration, not just in the judiciary, you see just kind of blatant, not just like a thumb on the scale type of affirmative action, but a huge load of bricks where being dumped on the scale where race and gender and whether you're transgender or whatever other alphabet soup you can hit is more relevant than your actual qualifications to do the job. And at one level as a conservative, I'm kind of happy about that because it makes them less competent. On the other hand, as somebody who would like the government to run well and for people to be judged on merit, it's a very bad thing.

Arthur Milikh Offers Analysis of the Current Political Landscape
"Who is the executive director at the center for the American way of life at the Claremont institute, Arthur, welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. Thank you very much, Charlotte. So Arthur, we've been kind of framing the conversation, if you will, right now, around how a majority of the political discourse is around things that are patently insane. The woke, if you will. And that there needs to be kind of a re centering around team reality, and that only conservatives can help make that consolidation possible. What are your thoughts? Well, I think that's true. But, you know, when you look at some of the polling, some of which is honest, I suspect, and you see that there's actually strikingly little support for a lot of these very radical left wing ideologies. And then you wonder, well, how on earth is it that these remain the center conversations of the nation, if they're so little public support? And then you begin to think through how much money and institutional support there is for these causes. And the immense disproportion in power. On the left versus the right. And then you start seeing how many conservatives over the last generation have been snoozing at the wheel. They've been fighting on some very irrelevant issues, one kind of trick that I like to think about is if you implemented the full agenda of many of the think tanks on the mainstream right. Nothing would change about America. A lot of things. It would all be a total domination of the left institutions. And so what we have not thought through is trying to win back territory in real ways. Trying to repeal the immense power of those institutions. We like to do lawsuits. That's fine. But when we lose in the courts, we just say, oh shucks, you know, we'll try again. We'll try to do the same thing again. Whereas when you look at the immense as I keep saying institutional power of the left, they own the universities, which we refuse to defund. They own a lot of K12. These are American tax dollars that are being used against patriotic Americans. It's an astonishing thing. And nobody ever really does anything about it. It's a really interesting

"A 100%. There are editors, but in watching some documentaries about manga, they were like talking about how sometimes they just end up working with their friends and they're like, no, they're not gonna say anything, or they know when to call me out on certain things. But it's not like they're making dramatic sweeping changes because the corporation wants something different, you know? And those things have happened. If you take Chris Claremont, because Claremont wrote the X-Men for like ten years. And when you went to The New Mutants, X-Men era of his writing, you knew it was his comics. He had full reign to do the stories. He wanted to do, and that's when X-Men were like, play baseball and go to the mall and do all these things that we know as X-Men being like classic things. It was all 'cause of that dude. And he was his unbridled mind that really pulled in the giant size X-Men into the forefront. And it's a shame that what happened because he got pushed to the side for the hot talent. But it's interesting, but that just happened sometimes. Because in movies, sometimes the director will get all the credit and it's like, they didn't write this shit. They didn't write the movie, you know? They definitely were able to portray the vision and add their style, right? Exactly. It wasn't their vision to begin with. They're executors. Yeah, exactly. And there's so many other people at play and stuff like that that everyone kind of gets their hand in a pot and you can end up with a movie that is entirely different than was originally intended because of all the fuel that are involved. Yeah. But sometimes, you know, like, just take west side story, right? Like that movie looked like that movie because of Steven Spielberg. He is Steven Spielberg, right? Sure. Or Edgar Wright. He writes all his own stuff. Yeah, but it looks like that movie, but it wasn't Steven Spielberg's story to tell, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's just a 100%. So it's interesting..

James Poulos, Executive Editor of the American Mind, Describes 'Transhumanism'
"I listened to the American mind podcast, which is phenomenal from the Claremont institute. And I was listening a couple weeks ago. And I was texting Conor in the midst of the episode and I said, we have to have this guy. It was just so interesting to me. It's doctor James pulos. I hope I did okay with that, pronunciation. He's the cofounder and executive editor of the American mind at the Claremont institute and author of the new book human forever, and the digital politics of the spiritual war. And so let me just first kind of start with James. If you could introduce yourself to the audience then also introduce to our audience, what is transhumanism? So it's great to be with you. Thanks for having me on. The best way to think about transhumanism, I would say is in the following way, once upon a time, technology was firmly on America's side, the electric age was very good to us, the telegraph, the spread of the incandescent bulb, radio television, really the time when America became the world's leading power, superpower that was so, so powerful, not just in terms of military might, but also in culture, you know, in mass communications and every all the ways that that shapes people's inner and outer lives. Europe did pretty poorly during that time. Everyone's empires fell apart, massive world wars, genocide, disillusionment, loss of religious faith, really just kind of a wipeout of that of that civilization. It's just still barely trying to hang on in some ways. And so there was this big sense of optimism and triumphalism around the Internet when it came into being in the United States. You know, of course, we thought we created these technologies. They're super powerful. We have a huge head start on everyone else. And so they're really just going to fulfill our consummate. America's role as the most important country in the world, the country that can sort of turn the world into something that's American and its essence and its civilization. And that's not what these machines did. You know, the elites, the folks in charge, were really shocked by the way people use these technologies to put opinions on the Internet that they didn't like. And ultimately to elect a president that they didn't like very much. And so once that happened, there was this real kind of head check. Suddenly everyone had a smartphone and this technology wasn't just a cumulative. It wasn't just a progressive addition to the technological advancement of the past. But it was really something fundamentally different. A new medium, a new form of technology. And the way that it's reshaped our inner and outer lives, their senses, their sensibilities, maybe even our souls. Has already been super profound. People are now sort of realizing that every day is they look at the news that's coming out on a regular basis around the clock. And so what effect are these technologies having on who we are as human beings? And I think the effects very

Very Few People Do Monstrous Things While Thinking 'I'm Doing Something Monstrous'
"I'm talking to the husband of Molly Hemingway, Mark Hemingway together they put together a brand new book called rigged, how the media big tech and the Democrats seized our elections. Mark, you were just saying that these generals and others who signed the letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation, they seem all to have known that they were lying that they were lying to the American people that they were using their public personae in a way that would be effective because of who they are and because of their titles. And that they did it because they thought they had to save the republic from another Trump presidency. And I only half jokingly refer to Hitler because very few people do monstrous things thinking I'm doing something monstrous. They always have what they think of as good reasons. The difference is that in a country of laws, like the United States of America, there are these guardrails. There's the constitution. We have jail for people who break laws. How is it you think that so many high figures, including Hillary Clinton would very very seriously lie? Another was know that they're lying and with a straight face, speak to American voters and citizens and say things that they know aren't even slightly true. With some desired effect. Do you suppose that they never thought that they would be found out? Is that part of it? I mean, so in the case of someone as large as Hillary Clinton, I mean, I do think that they're do exist, you know, avaricious narcissists at a level in our league leadership in this country that should be concerning to us. As for, you know, people that are further down the rung that are the lieutenant supporting all this nonsense, I think a big part of the problem, of course, is the media in this country. We have a hugely asymmetric media system in this country. You know, if I want to know what a liberal in this country thinks I can turn on the television in ten seconds later, I know what it is. You know, liberals in this country on the other hand, because they have such hegemonic control of all of these institutions, you know, they're not out there subscribing to the Claremont review of books or watching Eric metaxas to see what conservatives think about important

A student at claremont mckenna suggests that mlb discriminate against non white players the study used balls and strikes data from the past thirteen seasons to determine the rate of missed calls against certain players snowdon determined which should be strikes. Were called balls in which balls were aronie. Asli called strikes and then looked at the race of the empire batter and pitcher and what snowden found was that umpires made more advantageous calls when their race was the same as the person receiving the advantage. The difference amounts two point zero three percents which well small can be significant over the course of a single season so point. Three percentage points Snowden estimates that umpires called eighteen thousand pitches differently over the thirteen year period. Which is a little more than a thousand changed calls per year. Any individual player might only receive a handful of these this season but for black players in the league already struggling against discrimination. Any additional barrier is a significant problem.

"And i think part of the problem with it not working out as well as those series do tend to feel more like well. I guess our annual has time to this thing now as opposed to like feeling a bit more organic. Inferno is the best eight crossover. Which i don't know that i would have said prior to us like reading and going back through the decade But i do think it is. And i think part of that is crazy. Just get to play in in like their world you know. They don't have to like reinvent the world but then there's like a framework there's a device and all these things are happening. Can you loop that in right and for inferno that works. Pretty well I feel like sitting worst to is. Probably the only very obvious example of like in the in that case like the editor in chief being like you have to do my thing you know all of your characters all new mutants. They're going to die. And then yeah traumatized it. So that's really. The thing is like so. I guess where it comes to crossovers i. I like the idea of the like the creative teams being able to opt in right and then also the idea of the crossover not necessarily like i like the new mutant books. Tie a little directly right like clermont's overseeing those but then also like Louise simonson right. She's bringing like i think. Claremont louise were clearly like working really closely together on doing the overall inferno story whereas like emmy necessity was like working as editor on that so sure she was involved as well. But the daredevil stories are not really primary to the inferno storyline right like this daredevil experiencing that. That's kind of what i like. You know. I kinda like like if you have a fun. Event that is touching all corners of the marvel universe. Like just have it like touched the these different Like comics in these different like character stories. See how they react to it. If it's a fun idea right like hell in manhattan is a fun idea. You can have the other characters play around with that if you have something to do with it. That's yeah i mean. I think that's my my big thing. It doesn't have to be this. Big impactful like daredevil doesn't need to be fighting whatever his name is the demon they're getting stir shem that's not right it starts with an end nastier nastier so much of it comes down to to just like the creators and just kind of how willing they are to play with it like you said if you know an anti i want her in that charitable run to like totally go out of her way to like not deal with all the things that were happening previous issues. You know and. I think that's a problem. We have with crossover long time where it's like well just interrupted my book. I think the best creators When they handle it well and kind of probably through researching and just their own experience but basically they keep telling their story but just now incorporate all the craziness going on then. We read the spiderman. Crossover with Was it david michelini in mcfarland and those feel like they. Kind of just like yeah. We're acknowledging it's happening but we're not really doing anything about its story. Yeah and i tend to actually appreciate that more. I mean i i guess i appreciate being interrupted but in that case i kind of just like well. Why did you even really do it. To begin with you. Know like just ignore. It can have that problem. Yeah yeah you you like. If spiderman was still just doing his nyc thing you know like there's the the nerds that are going to be like well technically at the same time like demons were invading spiderman has no real in. It's just like it's all suspension of disbelief. I think that works fine just to just to ignore that..

That's when it happens right. That's from from seventy five through the eighties is when it becomes the biggest thing to like. You know to the point where we're eating amazing spider man and on the cover has to point out the non mutant book. You know like it absolutely takes over. And that's that's what we're walking into. We're approaching ninety. And he's doing. I mean clermont's doing they're releasing to issues of x men a month in nineteen eighty nine right. It's that popular that they can sell to a month while also having the new mutants in excalibur is launching and wolverines. Going right like there are four. Is it four days list. Five five different issues of mutant books just coming out a month. Marvel that's i mean even spiderman didn't have that spiderman at tops had three Yeah yeah i So no i mean not personally for me. But i absolutely like can acknowledge that. He has his influence Dave rights hello to the marvelous now that the eighties are wrapping up. We're moving full speed into the nineties. They're going to be some major changes in the art styles. Driven by guys like rob failed. Jimmy to what extent are you dreading this rather infamous stylistic shift and or looking for to the change of seen a little bit of life let you go. I think you're pretty pretty excited So we've seen some life. I liked it fine like i. I have been called Insane for saying that life l. x. factors better than silences but so totally stand by that like based on a single issue. Yes some would document that as pretty wild. Yes well i mean. I just think that simonson artist like my least favorite we've ever read but I think i think under bar bar. Yeah it's always here that the rub life field issue is fine right like he's got some real energy to like he's not a incompetent artist He just i. I don't know we we haven't gotten into it yet. I haven't read that much life held in the future. So i'm gonna have to withhold judgment on mostly. I'm curious and i'm sure i'm going to be grumpy about it at some point right like i'm excited in that way like it. Yeah i would say defined nineties comics have long ago entered a cultural consensus. Yeah sort of like you know. Oh these are bad right like ninety. So extreme like oh it entered this weird realm of like oh like there's just an assumption that these things are bad even if people like having read that many of them it's kind of like like eighty s music. I feel like it's a vibe like this but it's usually when they're talking about that they're talking about like hair metal and the most ex- like the excess y- of stuff. They're not talking about joy. Division that i talk about the pixies not talking about eric. B and ricky. You know what i mean so like. There are lots of good nineties comics. You know just the ethos in the style and all that that does tend to overwhelm and certainly like. That's a big part of it okay. So i'm i'm not reading it at all. I'm i'm actually pretty interested again. We've talked about this before. But you know this is for a lot of folks like for where we're at eight is like this was the this was my childhood but it wasn't a childhood spent reading comics so it's like these were comics that were like marketed to me. But i didn't read. You know what i mean and in rural unlimited when i did the club the first time. They didn't have a lot of the ninety stuff in the in the catalog okay.

"Turmoil on the streets was erupting over shadowing the Tiger's victory, growing up in a 12 Street in Claremont near before slugger Willie Horton resisted going home, as urged by officials still in his Tigers uniform. He climbed on a cart the heart of the conflict. And urged protesters to seize the violence. Horton's courageous actions that day will never be forgotten. This has been a Michigan sports Legacy Conservancy Black History month moment. Welcome back to the veteran's perspective. We're joined today by Stephanie and Terry call. So just a little bit of background. Stephanie Hall has been a veteran caregiver since 2000 and 12. She is the president and warriors and caregiver of warriors and caregivers. United. She is the 19 4020, Michigan Dull care gave her fellow for the Elizabeth Dole Foundation at me, Terry Terry Jr. J. D. Okay. He is a supervisor of the Evil Township. Located in Midland County. Terry is a board member and veteran liaison for warriors and caregivers. United. He is a mentor. Coordinator for the Kent County Veterans Treatment Court, and he also services as a peer recovery coach and peer support specialist from Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Terry served 21 years in the U. S Army and was medically discharged in 2012 as a sergeant First class. 19 Delta, 13 Bravo. Terry and Stephanie have been married almost 2.5 years and have been together for six years. Welcome Stephanie and Terry. Thank you for having a son. It's good to be here. Thank you And my husband, Joseph. He's back for another segment. He's a glutton for punishment, I guess. But we're gonna all be talking about, you know, marriage and what that's like, and I wanted to start with you all. Uh, Terry and Stephanie. So I guess, Terry, maybe to talk a little bit about your military background and and how that's really impacted your your marriage. Well, I did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and one in Guantanamo Bay. So The doctor says. I'm not of sound mind anymore, and that's kind of the Army agreed with them when they put me out so but That that has had that has a huge impact on her marriage, and it actually increased our dating time because I didn't really want to get married. I didn't think I could handle being married. It was something that we had a lot of discussions about to make it work and We come up with a solution for our specific situation, and it's been working awesomely. That's good. I'd love to hear more about those solutions. But I know that you both serve on warrior ring and caregivers. United and Stephanie. You were on our show. Previously talking about His organization, But, you know, I guess maybe maybe let's talk a little bit about some of those things that are working because you are a caregiver, right? Yes, And you're also a spouse, which I think a lot of spouses just think that and you. You taught me this. I think a lot of spouses think that you know that They're just the spouse there, not a caregiver like that's what they're supposed to do, But it's it's an additional duty. So let's talk about how you all are. Copan. Well as as a caregiver and a spouse. I really have to make sure that I separate my time as his wife and his caregiver to the best of my abilities. Sometimes those lines get blurred. Um, As I stated, I was a caregiver in from 2000 and 12 to 2000 and Fort 15 for my ex husband, who is also a disabled veteran. And I did not separate being a wife and being a caregiver. My wifely duties ended as soon as I became a caregiver. It was all about making sure that he was cared for, eh? So I made sure that when I went into this relationship with Terry, that those those lines were were separated to the best of the ability and that I could make sure that when he needed a caregiver, I was a caregiver. But when he needed a spouse, I was his spouse. I think that a lot of caregivers contend to enable their veteran, um so making sure that you know you're you're separating that you know, to make sure that you're you're cared for and that you know, you're you're getting the rest of it. And the self care that you need is extremely important to any marriage. Well, I think that that's it's such a revelation. Stephanie because you know, I I dealt with my injury going through and I don't think I mean Jones have. Did you see yourself as a caregiver for me during that time, or you just kind of doing your thing? I was just doing my thing because there was no at the time there was none of that. That was new. The world just they're doing the backdoor draft and you know they had none of this nut was set up. So you came home. It was just like here she is the look. That was it, you know? Yeah. I think that was hard. It was hard being the veteran that needs to be careful or because you know you're this person who who's strong going in and then you come out and you know you have your spouse you know, having to help you for me personally help me off the toilet or, you know, help me tie my shoes and do things that I used to be able to do, and it's frustrating. But then on the flip side, you know he's the veteran. I'm a veteran. You know, he's a disabled veteran, too. So there are times or I have to be the caregiver. And that is frustrating as well. So I don't know what you do for two veterans who both have this ability to at times in our lives become caregivers. But I'm you know, there's many days and I'm like, man, we're still together. Like what advice could you give us for that? Don't both of you have a bad day at the same time. Yeah, and the Earth hasn't ended when those days happened, either. So that's good for me. I think one of the key things is for I have to be very where Of my, uh we'll call it a temper. And I have to understand when I must disengage. And then my sponsor needs to understand that if I'm disengaging from account conversation or even a confrontation It's not me shutting her down and not wanting to talk to her and not talk about the situation. It's me pulling back and realizing I'm becoming irrational. If we want to have a successful relationship, we need to be able to communicate, not discriminate. You know, So I think that is key for any veteran couple and or any veteran in their caregiver is Yeah, We have bad days. But that's not an excuse. They give us license to just melt, treat our loved ones We have toe. Understand? Okay, This is not how I would be on a good day. Therefore, why am I punishing her?.

"3885141. You are back with Mark and Rob. And I just love this story. Sweet, sweet story that I saw yesterday about a very unusual friendship. That is between a man from Turkey and a swan that he rescued 37 years ago once lived that long. Well, that's a great point, Rob. And as a matter of fact, they don't so in average life span of a swan and just like its natural wild habitat, 12 years in protected Habitats are environments they can live up to 30. But the fact that this swan is continuing to live at age 37 with this man is a testament to the point that I have made repeatedly, which is that people and wild animals should cohabitate Boy. You are in raging a whole bunch of people right now, so I'll let you I'll let you hang out there on that one. Well, he rescued the swan. Apparently they were. They were taking a shortcut in their car when they noticed the swan with a broken wing in an empty field him in his friends, and he took in the swan to protect this one from predators kept her in the car until that afternoon, when he was able to take it home. And ever since. They have lived together, this man and this man has a farm. This one lives on the farm, and any time it's out of when she's out of her pen, she's with him. They walk together they like hug on each other. Are super super cute. That's great. My favorite swan movie is the Swan and Billy Madison. Okay. Uh, What did you want to rant about? I have two things people. Look, people get on me about you Never have anything nice to say about the government. You don't mean So before I ran. I'm going to say something nice because when government does the right thing they deserve to be credited. I wanted TOC say good job to the Hendricks County commissioners. They voted down that proposed members several weeks and we talk about this proposed giant. Development was gonna get the old Claremont Golf Course. The Claremont It was the it was the Islamic development and I had said the issue I had with that. Is there seriously drainage issues and any time this is Islamic development had common proposed. To rezone the area wasn't zone to be housing. It wasn't zone to be a community center, and when you propose a re zone, you have to satisfy the concerns of the people in the area, and they do that, because when you buy a house or property, you're buying it with the understanding of this is what's going to go hear the value of the house is based on what's going to go here. And anything that would change that if it's going to negatively impact my property. You don't have the right to change it. So you us The petitioner have to prove to me that my fears are being addressed. And it was very clear based on the history of that area. There are major drainage concerns that the petition because it's Islamic when it was Christian Mormon. Whatever had nothing to do with the religion about the development. It's the size and the scope and the infrastructure impact is gonna have. It was very clear Those people were going to be negatively impacted. It caught my attention because people were posting on these little townie chatter boards. Claremont is directly to the east of Brownsburg, but technically where it was was in Hendricks County. People are saying, Hey, We want you to come to this planning commission meeting. Please speak about this. It's gonna negatively impact our property. Please have your voice heard, And these people were just getting roasted by these uber woke people in many cases who didn't live in the area area say Well, you're a racist or yours, and it is land Lama folk. And somehow the development got through the planning commission. I think because people were worried about being called a racist or in Islamophobia, whatever, because there's no way on the merit. If that was a Christian church, it would have got built right? And so it went to these commissioners. After go through the planning commission, the governing body at county government are the county commissioners. There's three of them and to their credit. They stood up and did the right thing and voted this thing down 3 to 0. Is there backlash? Are they facing backlash? Well, there's the same woke people. What a bunch of racist no No, the way it works is the homeowners have the right when you're proposing making a zoning change we create in communities. Zoning classifications are created via a sign and zoning organs. It takes years to put together their citizen input there's community and put You felt something that comes up willy nilly. And if you want to change that, and these developments get voted down all the time Housing developments. Whatever that have nothing to do with Islam or any religion. That's the rules of the game. And kudos to these county commissioners for recognizing the rights of the citizens who live out their recognizing that the petitioner did not meet the standard set forth and not Cow tower, count telling and catering to the woke mob. So, look, I'm not saying I have an obligation if I criticize people when they do something wrong to talk about when people do something, right. And in this case, the Hendricks County commissioners did the right thing. Well, look at that. So it was like a positive ram. Yes. Good job. I'll get to the negative tomorrow. Don't worry. Okay. Well with that everybody have a.

"You met your first husband? Leonard Harper at a party. In which there were some musicians jamming and Leonard was playing conga and you're right. He was the rare black person among the usual mix of white Claremont musicians. Um So you know you met you dated you fell in love. You eventually married. You both knew. That there would be problems that you would face. As an interracial couple, and he hit first split up with with you claiming that it was because you know if you had Children, and because he thought marriage would be the next step, and if you had Children That will be really hard on the Children. But you got together again. You had three Children. What were some of the problems that you faced at the time and what you are we talking about when you when you got married. We got married in 1969 early 1969, and I think I read a statistic that in 1968 on Lee 17% of the American population approved of interracial Marriage, and in fact, I think the loving versus the state of Virginia had just they had very recently passed or been one And so there was still a tremendous lack of acceptance of interracial couples. And we were pretty if I could say so myself Pretty stunning. He was, you know, tall and slim and good looking and Wasn't so bad looking myself back then, and we dressed to the nines and went out and And did attract attention and a lot of it negative. I mean, there were times when it was one time when Leonard was actually beaten up that party we had stopped in. And That was pretty shocking. I didn't put that in the book, but The dad in the housing situation was very tight. Claremont, Like so many foothill communities, had covenants against selling to people of color or mixed couples. You know, those We were very together on that and we were strong and we supported each other and we challenge the system. So you had seen what could happen to a black person in a white community that didn't want him there when you were growing up? The couple who owned the house next door, was leaving for a few years and was going to rent while they were gone. And they rented to an African American couple. The husband was it was a doctor.

And we've had a lot of technical problems here. The other time was face to face. And we also almost had a lot of technical problems that had to do The politics of the convention. We were offending lawyers. Uh, There's always politics there. Uh, if you don't know Allen's work Minor things. Star Wars. Star Trek. Alien and the subsequent Um Two books, at least. Um, lots and lots of Stuff that some other people have to end up doing as work for hire. But Alan commands contracts real the real thing. Which Not everybody does. Coincidentally, we're gonna be talking a bit about that. Uh, I will be blunt and I will trust you're not going to Uh, be upset if I mention that personally, I like your own universes. Oh, like Pippen flanks. I think that you know about 1972 thereabouts, I think was the first thing of yours. That I read and Those were the first things I wrote you well, then, so I guess. Right on my first story came out and log in June 1971 And my first novel, which was the first Pippen flicks book, the time Crying. Came out in 1972. So it's not like you missed anything in the beginning there. There you go. Who's that published point? Was originally balancing books. Still Valentine Books Betty Ballantine and bought the book. Actually, I've only got one It was then turned over to handle rain must have known right. Yeah. So I went to that. But it was better. You bought the first book. Wow. Okay. And that Z, right? They're wonderful pedigree. And what one of the others? How many books you have no idea. It's a little over hundreds of this crime is at all. And, you know, short stories and columns and reviews. Um it's been a life of writing. Basically, I like telling stories. I'm not a fanatic like Isaac Asimov's Isaac's idea. The vacation was to go into a room, locked himself in and right that was his vacation from writing was writing some more. Ma'am, but I don't do that. I do take breaks, but I love telling stories. I think you have surpassed him in terms of number of works of fiction. Because so much of what he wrote was science. Nonfiction. And auto, but That's possible. I don't know. I don't keep track of these things, but people do. So I have to keep numbers handy, I guess. Uh, yes, sir. It's just I knew like, you know. Just been a fun, long ride and It's interesting. Some people I've learned over the course of my career. You can write something. And somebody will love it and somebody else will hate it and then you'll write something else. Those two people will exactly reverse their opinions. The first one who hated the second one love it and your writing the same style and it's still your voice talking, but because of the subject matter or the approach Uh, people will have diametrically opposed opinions about about your work and what that tells you or tells me anyway. As a creative person is, you might as well do what pleases you. Because in the end you're not gonna be able to please anybody, no matter what you do. Now I mentioned that you wrote a book called Star Wars. Um, remember that book. There was a different name on the cover. Uh, some guy you George Lucas and, uh, I'm friends with Chris Claremont, wrote the Willow trilogy. Um on Lee. First book.

"Of people write you from Claremont Looks. Why are you asking you for help? It's fine. Just don't. Yeah, but that's my boy. I'm sympathetic to your plight, but just don't ask me to do anything about it. Um okay. Let's get to this voice mail that we had from someone who made a really great comparison point. Take a listen isn't any nothing out of the left The demo rats and not see Pelosi reacted to the incident capital. Was at their place of business had been violated. Well. Now they know how so many people in blue states and blue controlled cities felt when their businesses were vandalized. Content either destroyed or stolen or burned to the ground. Course, anything damaging capital will be repaired or replaced all paid for, of course by taxpayers. Many business owners and also fortunate They may lose everything. And I've heard that the insurance industry is stuck with the largest loss. It has ever experienced, including any hurricanes or other national natural tragedies or natural occurrences. Why is this one incident of the capital More important? In the hundreds of incidents occurring across the country during last year. These people are evil incarnate. God bless you guys. It's a great point, because when you look at like the National Guard who's all camped out for Inauguration day, and when you look at all the broken windows that are going to be fixed by us, it's true. All these businesses got burned to the ground and how their windows shattered that we're the taxpayers are covering that. They are taking that is a huge loss, and in some cases, their businesses were destroyed permanently. He did say one thing if I might just take onus with it, and a lot of what he said was completely spot on. But as Robert, the police officer said earlier, God just tell me everything and I don't need to think for myself So I feel like I just stepped out for people sometimes. Uh, We said these people are completely evil. There are many people in government who are awful. They are horrific. Their intentions are ill. Their service is only for themselves and do enrich and embolden empower themselves. But one of the mistakes I think we make on a local level because so much of the shutdown lockdowns whatever have come at the local level, whether it's a county, a city, even even a state. So that their evil It's that they're incapable of solving actual problems. They're not qualified to run the local diner, much less an entire county or entire city or an entire state in some levels. So what they do, They don't have the creativity that we have the mental capacity. So when you have creativity and mental capacity, which is how you do things in the real world, and they know they're in over their head. You take the path of least resistance, and that's what these people do. And that is where citizen involvement becomes Sochi. The evil awful power hungry people. You're gonna fix that. But you can fix it at a local level and let these people know that if they're going to have such a lack of creativity or lack of mental capacity, get Out of office. Good rant, by the way. Actually, it's what I do, um, really quickly. I wanted to talk about the fact that home alone to you remember home alone to see this series of movies. Okay, So Home alone two is home alone, too. Lost in New York. That's the one where Trump had a cameo. Remember that tells the kid where to go. That's right, because it's in his hotel. Yes. Um and so now. Began. When was that movie out? That was like what? 92? Gosh, it was forever ago. I believe 92. Is that right? Let's let's see how good I am. Yeah, I want to see. Is that right home? All right. Oh, my God. Okay, so now There are actual people who are calling for the president's cameo to be removed from that movie henceforth, forthwith and forevermore because Trump is orange and insight, insights and insurrections and stuff. I have a question. So they're insinuating that a movie that's 29 years old. The mere sight of Donald Trump for five seconds because that's literally always on camera. For tiny, tiny bit part, the mere sight of the man for five seconds would so destroy An entire nation to see it that he must be removed. From the movie in which there in his hotel and I believe they identify that hits his hotel. Yeah. I mean, that's this is how insane people are. This is the exact I'm not kidding. I'm not being overdramatic. This is the exact thing they did understand, Alan in the Soviet Union, you can't erase everything that you hate. Some things just are and some things continue to be and some things were And it's all part of the historical record. And you know what? His part of the movie is. And when it happens if you don't like it, change the channel, but.

Seed Banking A Floristic Province, Naomi Fraga Of California Botanic Garden
"We're back now to our conversation with naomi. Freda director of conservation programs the california botanic garden in claremont california since its founding in nineteen twenty seven. The garden has included seed collecting and seed banking as part of. Its work as we come back. Dr frigo explains the different branches of work in the conservation programs. She directs welcome back in field studies. It's basically field research on the ground to understand the plants of california. So we're out there gathering data collecting specimens and sometimes we even find and describe new species to our state. We're oftentimes finding new rare plant populations and documenting those and making that information widely available land managers and state different kinds of agencies in our laboratory program. We have a molecular lab and we also have an anatomy lab and so we have some very state of the equipment to address plant conservation in in very more high tech ways than sort of just boots on the ground observing and recording and understanding. And so we can look at genes and we can look at morphology at the microscopic level. We have a scanning scanning electron scope. We can also section plants and look at their individual cells. We can also look at their chromosomes and so gathering. This data might provide us with more information about the plants biology that might inform their conservation. It's really great. Have these research tools to allow us to address plant conservation in a variety of ways. And then we have the plant nursery which is really an incredible tool for plant conservation because we take plants out of the wild environment. Maybe we collect seeds or cuttings and we're growing in cultivation. There's so much that we can learn In terms of gathering data on horticultural requirements supplants. That might shed light on. How plants exist in nature. What are their growing requirements. What do they require. Rejuvenation swap intended to experiments to see how we can germinate there sees whether they require smoke. Fire acid treatment. You know all these different mechanisms step. Plants need to allow them to grow. Maybe there is a question about plant reproduction. And we want to know. If plant can produce seeds by self pollinating we grow those plants in the nursery and do simple experiments to do either cross pollination or flowers to prevent pollination to see if they produce route so we can do those kinds of studies we can also do common garden studies in her nursery where we might compare plants from two different locations and grow them under the same growing conditions to see if differences we see in nature or result of genetics or environment. And then we might also just need to grow plants for various restoration efforts and so we have a lot of degraded lands and You know seeing those degraded lands You know that's very difficult to get restoration going from seeds. Because the invasive species oftentimes need seeds and so establishing with container plants right now seems to be the most successful. we're up in times propagating plants in containers to be put out onto degraded wildland to help with

Reds, Pirates games postponed as Cincinnati player tests positive for COVID-19
"This is sports talk later for Lance Encounters for 700 wlw. By the way. Hope you had a great weekend. As of right now, we are expecting the Reds to take on the Kansas City Royals tomorrow night. In Kansas City. That'll be an 805 1st pitch. We go on the air, with the Arnell carriers inside pitch at 705 Luis Castillo is said to get the ball against Brad Keller. Trevor Bauer is now scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, followed up by Sonny Gray. In the first game of a four game series against the Cardinals in ST Louis on Thursday, this after the weekend that was lost after Friday night raids beat the Pittsburgh Pirates and then a couple of hours after the game. We find out that a player tested positive. For covert 19. Saturday's game postponed Sunday's game postponed Ah, couple of things worth pointing out here. Seafront Rosecrans, who, by the way, covers the Reds for the athletic And doesn't awesome job. I've tweeted out a link to a piece that I think will guide you through everything happening with this team right now. But since Saturday, every Reds player has tested at least three times. The players were tested. Saturday, Sunday morning and this morning. Pittsburgh Pirates. Players were also tested in Cincinnati before they flew to Pittsburgh last night. Um As of now. Based on reporting from a couple of it from people who are close to this. There's only been one positive test on the Reds, and it was the player who found out that he was testing positive work over 19 on Friday night. That player has since tested positive again. But as of now and again, there's the latest round of testing results that they have to get. No other Reds player has tested positive. The Reds have yet to fly to Kansas City. They are supposed to fly to Casey tomorrow if they're cleared to play. The player who tested positive would have to be placed on the injured list. Somebody's going to have to be brought up to take his place. The The Pirates will be here in mid September, September 14th to the 16th so there is ample time to make up. Two games They missed right now. The Reds have 40 games remaining. There are 41 days between now and September, the 27th which is the end of the regular season, and so obviously they're not playing today They're going to play 40 games and 40 days to get to 60. They already have a double header scheduled Against the Cubs next weekend. But there is not only a Pittsburgh trip to Cincinnati, but the Reds also going PNC Park and so you can make up one of the games there if you have to. But as of now, The plan is to play. Tomorrow night against the Royals. Again. All of this is very, very fluid. As we've seen with the Cardinals as we've seen with the Miami Marlins, the good news is again. After the one player tested positive with that result being released. On Friday. Reportedly. No other Reds player has subsequently tested positive and also know Pittsburgh Pirates player As of right now 6 26 on Monday night, no other Pirates player Has tested positive. So there you go, Uh 513749 7800 The big £1.700 free call AT and T. Jerry is calling from Claremont County. Hi, Jerry. Jerry. Hope something happens. Jerry. Your wine? Yeah, sure. Go. Oh, well. A little question here if one Holding him and nobody there. Miles is okay. But they prayed about because they have to get tests back from the other players to ensure that there not also testing positive. Woman get their pink. Ooh, they did that. And so there are awaiting the latest the Siri's of results and they hope to play tomorrow. The Pirates also hope to play tomorrow. Yeah, this time, noting the Reds go to Kansas City before they do that they need to get to clear And for that to happen, they want to ensure there is no other players testing positive. Your city's okay. Well, yeah. I mean, the players are routinely testing positive testing, which is why we found out that a player tested positive on Friday night. Yes. Okay. Okay. Is that all right with you? Yeah. No. There was just a bad weekend without baseball. Yeah, Wass, I I don't I can't disagree with that. Ana would do anything about it. I wanna thank you very much. Thank you. Ok, thanks. Have a good evening. You you you do the same. The Miami Marlins. You may recall after the first weekend of the year they were in Philadelphia, and then again, they had a game scheduled against the Phillies. And on Sunday morning. They found out that a number of players on that team had tested positive for Cove in 19 And instead of baseball, swooping in and stopping the Marlins from playing. Instead, the players were allowed to vote. Whether or not they play now, I'm not sure why that would ever be the case. But that's that was the plan. That was the plan baseball let the Miami Marlins players vote via text by the way. On whether or not they want to play. They did play the game that day in Philadelphia, and then As it turned out that they had close to 20 members of their traveling party. The majority were players, obviously not all of them. The majority of players that a bunch of guys in there traveling party test positive for cocaine, 19 And then it took them forever to get back on the field where baseball is trying to do. Is prevented outbreak now. It is worth wondering. This. Today is the 17th of August regular season baseball ends on September the 27th. Obviously, everybody has off days built in, so there's time if you've got to miss a couple of days. What I do kind of wonder, though. Well, I think baseball has done the right thing here and frankly, I think they did the right thing with the ST Louis Cardinals. October. When we have 16 teams in the playoffs. And we're trying to squeeze a lot of Siri's in a very tight window. And ensure that the season the post season is over before we really get to cold weather in November. What's gonna happen when we have a situation with the team in the playoffs like the one that popped up for the Reds on Friday night? Positive test and now we're not going to play for a couple of days. Not playing for a couple of days in the regular season is really not that big a deal. Not playing for a couple of days in the postseason. Could have a significant short and long term impact. More on that coming up in the seven o'clock hour at Mohagher, 15. 30 is by how you can hit me up on Twitter. One of the best players in college football is has started a petition. To try to get the big tend to play this fall. I want to know if the big 10 is gonna listen to him. I want to know if you're going to listen to him.

La about a year ago but before that I lived in a small city in Missouri called Springfield you know the home of Gypsy blanchard. Oh sorry ammos Missouri yes it is. Oh my God. I forgot that road deleting you cut that out. I lived in an apartment downtown for about three three years and had many sketchy things happen but this was by far the sketch the scariest I kept seeing this creepy dude with Jeffrey Dahmer glasses and dirty s shirt skulking around the premises assists for a while. I assumed he was a new tenant. The just the whole story reminds me of late night lived in Hollywood that and it's terrifying yeah he always creeped on me in the basement laundry room. No no and I would ignore his attempts at interacting fucking apartment building laundry rooms. Is there anything scarier or more dangerous. Totally you bring a weapon and get real real confrontational. Someone's quote unquote creeping on you in the laundry room. Turn around and go back she'd bananas on that Erzen. Just stop washing your clothes or get a friend who has like washer dryer. Take out a loan from the bank in quarters. Yeah take it on down to very full laundry a great idea one day. I walked to the gas station around the corner unnoticed. He was following me. I thought maybe it was just going to the gas station to but he followed me. There waited outside and then followed me back home. I was freaked out but I told myself. Maybe it's just a stupid coincidence. Well guess what it wasn't later that week one of my female neighbor. I had told me she'd gotten attacked the night before by a man in glasses he had come up behind her and tried to grab her and drag her down the stairs. Luckily she fought back and got away from him and call the police turns out he had been squatting in the basement for about a month and my idiot apartment manager. It did nothing about it.
