West Virginia AG Phil Morrisey Discusses His Latest State Battle
"Why are we putting up with men playing in women's sports? It's a very simple question. And the attorney general of West Virginia, someone who I've known for quite some time actually, who he should be the senator from West Virginia, that's a separate issue. Has a pretty serious answer, which is we're going to challenge this in the courts, joining us now is Patrick Morrissey, Patrick, welcome back to the program. Surely it's great to be with you and you're always spot on on these issues. This is a really interesting case. I'm really excited to talk to you about it today. Yeah, I am equally as excited. And so why don't you just explain it to our audience? I'm sure there's a lot of legalese involved here. So take as much time as necessary. I asked the simple moral question, why do we allow men in female sports, explain the legal question? Absolutely. So first of all, Americans have been watching what's been going on. They saw the NCAA swimming championships. They saw a lot of instances where biological males are coming into compete in women's sports. And West Virginia, a number of years ago in an effort to really get ahead of the curve, said, we're not going to let that happen. So the legislature, knowing what the future would likely look like, they said that if you're a biological male, you couldn't play in women's sports. That doesn't deny you the opportunity to play sports. It just says that you're not going to compete on the woman's team. So we thought this was a very reasonable common sense approach to protect women from a safety perspective and in terms of advancing their athletic opportunities. Charlie, as you know, title 9 has been utilized by women to advance to further athletic activities and also to develop leadership skills with women. So the West Virginia legislature knew all this at the time, they passed the law, but shortly after the law was passed, you got the inevitable challenge from plaintiffs trying to enjoy the law.

Russian Minister Laughed at for Ukraine War Claims
"So Sergey Lavrov goes to an Indian audience and says this, Jacob cut 18. You know, the war which we are trying to stop and which was launched against us using the Ukrainian Ukrainian people, of course, influenced influenced influenced the policy of Russia, including energy policy. Now, you see, Ed Morrissey, I find that fascinating that Sergei Lavrov has the audacity that the stones to be able to tell an audience, you know, we're trying to stop this war that was launched against us. And the entire audience just laughs at him. Yes, I think that this response says, well, buy your oil, but we're not buying your BS. So quit while you're ahead, pal. Yeah, I think that's, I think that's true.

The Problem That Doesn't Exist
"Alabama, the president went on a field trip and gave a speech yesterday on the 58th anniversary of bloody Sunday in Selma. And Joe Biden, as Joe Biden is want to do, it was their in search for a problem that doesn't exist. He decided to say we need to work harder on voting rights because there's too much blocking a voting going on out there. Now, Alabama is right next door or the same general vicinity as Georgia is and he tried this bit about how we're not having enough voting going on in Georgia. Except that Georgia passed a law that led to record turnout of voting in the last election. And so that message doesn't work in Georgia anymore. So the president went to Alabama in basically tried the same message there. It's kind of a crazy message that the president is offering, but now he is threatening to blow up the filibuster in order to expand voting rights. In this really wasn't on your bingo card last week, was it?

Guest Host Duane Patterson Talks Ukraine-Russia Trench Warfare
"To the news, shall we? New York Times piece today by Mark santora. This is what trench warfare on the front line is like. It is getting pretty grizzly in the standoff between Ukraine and Russia, especially around the areas of Russia that there's just no movement. The Ukrainians have been kind of surrounded a little bit by Russia except that over the weekend where there was going to be a collapse, apparently the Ukrainian side to dig in and fought back a little bit and now it looks like there is a little movement. The other direction. The Russian forces were so close that bogdan, a Ukrainian soldier with the 79th air assault brigade, Marc santor writes, could see them digging. Digging is what to do in this forlorn stretch of scorched earth in eastern Ukraine to avoid dying. Bogdan wants the Russians to die, so he lifted the shoulder fired rocket propelled grenade launcher peered over the sandbags mounted on the edge of his trench and blasted away the digging stopped. Moments later rush and soldiers let loose a volley of automatic gunfire, then things went silent. It's none of us were around our parents were around in many cases our grandparents weren't even around when it came to stories of what World War I was like. We've seen some movies over the years as to try to depict what World War I was like with trench warfare. This is probably as close as anything we've seen or resembled in the last hundred years. And

"About veteran investor Helena Morrissey and how she is setting out to tackle the lack of female fund managers in the UK. Caroline? Gender diversity efforts here in the UK have stalled the proportion of female money managers is stuck at 12% that, according to city wars, alpha female report for 2022, Helena Morrissey is the chair of the diversity project she is hoping to change that with a new pathway program, training 60 women from 33 companies to take their top jobs in money management. Now I sat down with Morrissey to discuss the issue and firstly, just why the numbers are still so low for women at the top of finance. It's quite a mystery to be honest, because as my own career suggests, you know, it's great for anybody who wants to be measured on results. I just spoke at a law firm where the women were saying, you know, why there's so few female fund managers. And I said, it's particularly mystery when I'm talking to you, where you've got 50% plus lawyers at the intake level anyway. And fund managers, you know, we've stayed very, very low. It's not really moved for the 7 or 8 years since people collected the data. I do think there's an image problem that people look and they think, oh, fund management's not for me. It'll be very isolated to be a woman. It's kind of macho environment. And some of this is not really true. We've got to get out more and explain that actually fun management. It's great career. If you want to be judged on your ultimate results, if you like an analyst analysis, that's great for lots of women love analyzing companies and things. So we've got to just get out and tell the story. I think that's really interesting because, I mean, surely, if all the industries, the finance industry, with all of its metrics, would be the most managed democratic one might think that you would actually find the industry very obsessed with facts and figures and data that they would promote for performance. Well, exactly. I mean, I remember when I was, you know, I have a lot of children. And when I'd come back from return to leave, you know, if I still had great performance numbers, then no one really could criticize. I mean, obviously I was investing for the long term as well. I didn't always have great numbers, of course. But that's not possible if you run money for many years. But it was a great testament to one's ability to have performance data that was completely indisputable. Just completely objective. Do you still meet men? I know that you must meet so many people in the City of London. Do you still meet men in the City of London who don't believe that, who question whether women are as good at managing money as men? Well, I don't think anyone would ever admit it these days. And I think there is still a bit of a sort of cultural impediment as well. I think men, many men now, and especially in our industry, really are just as frustrated as the women that we're not seeing more progress on this. So there are great allies, but I do also know that some people think this is irrelevant, it's all about they just don't see it that actually women might actually bring something new to the table that we might add something. And in fact, the data does suggest that mixed gender teams are the best performing. I don't think that's any great shock to anybody really. We bring different things to the table. So I'm afraid yes, one or two, I don't think dinosaurs anymore, but certainly pockets where you're like, I don't really think they're on board with this idea. Yeah, because certainly the story in private equity, for example, is that the case is still very much having to be made to invest in women led businesses, you know, the decision makers about where the money is allocated is often very skewed. And so that case is, we think of it as being old fashioned, but it's not big. And I'm at this stage thinking let's not put a business case because obviously we've had business cases going back decades now, you know, McKinsey did a great business case on why it would be better to have more women on boards and not have any showing the financial impact. I think we now have to make a personal case. You know, actually say your team will be better. Your business will be better. You'll have more connection with your clients. You know, it's more of a mode of case. I'm actually one win over hearts and minds now because I see again, I see people saying, oh sure, we'd love to have more women, but not actually doing things, for example, managing people inclusively sort of assuming everybody's got the same sort of lives. And we need to just shake that up completely, I think, and say, as she's in your interest to encourage more women into the industry and to stay. I think that's really interesting that you talk about winning over hearts and minds because this project to me feels much more muscular. This feels like getting results on the ground. It feels like a more muscular diversity project than we've seen before, which has been talk maybe top down, this is very much bottom up. It is. I mean, we have a great advisory council, which is CEO level, and we need their leadership as well. We need them to say, actually, this is more than peripheral to our business. This is important. We need the regulators to be really pushing this agenda as well and saying, actually, it's important around conduct around what it means to be a great person in the finance industry about making sure our reputation sell that, but we do need bottom up and what we've seen at the diversity project. And we now have 15 different work streams. Our most recent is the 50 plus group. Not that I'm behind that, even though it suits me to have that. But we have these groups that are really led by the underrepresented people and so to talk about that group has led me by black people. Now I think then you get the passion, you get the absolute drive. You get absolute determination, but we can't do it alone. People, you know, I learned from the 30% club experience. That was an initiative to create a gender balance on boards at least 30% women. We only made headway when we involved men in that. And so we do need to be I love you all expression Caroline muscular because you know it should feel very robust. It should be like you've got a business objective here. Let's improve diversity of talent. Let's make sure that people are included when they join if they're diverse. And let's achieve better results for our clients. That's a very business oriented approach. But yeah, and he's a bit of everybody involvement.

"All right, we're back here in the hockey PEO guest with Jesse Marshall. We're talking about defensemen and the way they're used in the concept of a team system. So here's something that really stuck out to me watching this more as you tape. He leaves the league in three on three production. He's got four points and 8 or 9 minutes of three on three play. He also leads the lady in a four on four. Scoring as well. Where he's got three points there and like 50 minutes or so. And the reason why I bring that up is because it really ties into this idea of kind of breaking through structure or sort of assigned roles designated to the position you play because you watch how he's gotten those points and let's take the three on three for example. There's the game winner against the stars in Dallas where he just basically sees an opening sprints up the ice beats Jason Robertson up the ice for a break and scores. He had two goals, I believe, at least a goal and another assist against the hurricanes earlier in the year, where he beats them up the ice and fills that middle lane. And it's interesting that those are teams that are very well structured defensively generally, right? And this is a way to kind of get around that. And this is how you have to beat these teams offensively. You can't just play your normal way where everyone stands where they need to be. You move the puck around because they're so good positionally at being where they need to be, that they're just going to keep everything to the outside, a low danger opportunities, and their goalie will stop everything. But all of a sudden, when you get a defenseman like Josh Morrissey, sprinting up the ice, being low kind of hanging around around the goal line, all of a sudden being places where you're not used to them seeing, there's no one really assigned to that player, right? All of a sudden it's like, oh, who's got that guy? There's a blown coverage.

"And you see that and it's like, yes, this is exactly the way you need to play there as opposed to maybe a previous version of Morrissey or even a lot of defensemen in today's game even really skilled ones. They get it there and then all of a sudden they panic and they're either firing it into shin pads or just kind of basically playing for a face off as a best case scenario because they're just hoping that the goalie is going to catch it with their glove and stop play and that's going to be that. And instead he's extending the play and making something creative app and you love to see that. That's exactly what I want to see from my defenseman. Yeah, and one thing because I was talking to murat about this today actually is one of the things we were talking about was the green light he's been given to do all that. You can't discount the role that coaching plays here. And to have your staff say, look, don't think. Just act. Like when these scenarios come up and your gut instinct says, do you want to do, do you want to go? You want to pinch, you want to take a chance at a do it. We'd rather you do it than have to think about it and be a second or too late to this scenario, right? That's a huge, you know, you have a player here who had clearly has a really high level of offensive instinct. And a high level of hockey sense around when is the right time to make something happen. And when is how do I involve myself the right way? Because I posted a couple of clips to meet you where he's the last guy to touch the puck before he scores. You have all this stuff happening for the jets.

What Is Gender Affirming Care
"Yeah, so let's talk about what the American response is first to gender affirming care because frankly, I've really felt despair over how far off the rails this has actually gone. This used to be a real marginal thing. And now it's suddenly become vanish and to the extent we're really doing a tremendous amount of damage to young people that I think are going to be very, very angry in about ten or 15 years about what the medical establishment here in America is done to them. Yeah, I think you're going to see a proliferation of lawsuits. In fact, it's beginning already. There have been a couple of files. Unfortunately, I think we're in the middle of a social panic in this country. With regard to this issue, particularly on the left, the Biden administration is insisting that the only approach when a child questions their sex is what's called gender affirming care. That is, you immediately say, oh, yes, you are the other 6. Okay, yes, we will change your pronouns, social affirmation. Yes, you can wear clothes of the other sex. And then very quickly often this goes into what's called medical affirmation. I think it's a violation of the Hippocratic oath. But things such as puberty blocking, meaning preventing natural puberty in children, a hormone cross hormone interventions and so forth. And also surgeries, there was a recent study at a Vanderbilt that said that hundreds of minor girls are given mastectomies every year and this was back in 2019. It was like 500. I bet now it's a thousand at least. And the median age get this with 16, meaning half of the girls who had their breasts removed were under age 16. And as low as 12. And in rare cases, there are even genital surgeries done on minors, mostly they wait till they're 18, but it does happen. And this is all experimental, but the American approach in the New England Journal of Medicine, which has become the New England ideological Journal of Medicine. It says, well, this is the only approach and if you don't do it this way, you're a hater, and it's wrong.

Crafting a Meaningful Energy Policy
"You know, this is the problem I think and when we're talking about the problem is scalability, right? I mean, you can certainly argue, hey, you can have some wind farms, you can have some solar, some solar farms. I don't really have any particular opposition that I have opposition to subsidizing them, but I don't have opposition to people who want to build those things, but they're not scalable. Whereas coal power, natural gas power, nuclear power, those are scalable as demand increases you can output. You can scale the output. You can't do that from a solar farm. There's only you get the sunshine and that's it. You get the wind and that's it. Well, one of the things I did in this post that, as you know, is I put up a chart that's from myself that shows the contributions of the various sources of electricity, our by our day by day, over one week in December. And one of the things that it shows is that solar power at utility scale is absolutely worthless. Yeah, I just can't say that strongly enough. Solar energy at utility scale level is absolutely worthless. It contributes zero. And wind turbines fluctuate all over the place. Sometimes the wind is going, oh yeah, they actually produce the electricity. Other times, the wind doesn't blow, oops, they produce nothing. And so what they do is they fire up the natural gas. And so the two energy sources that actually work and that supply the overwhelming majority of our electricity are coal and natural gas. Nuclear could do it too, but we're shutting down nuclear plants and we're not building any new ones. And so this is the situation we're in at. And I can tell you, I can't name the state, but one of the Midwestern states hired the energy people in my organization to analyze the risk of blackouts in that state this sweater, and next winter. It's a very, very real problem. And it is a pot of and it's only going to get worse if we continue this green energy fad.

On the Road to Blackouts
"John, do you have power on today? And it's great to me with you. Yeah, right now we have power, although Minnesota is one of the Midwestern states plus Arkansas and Louisiana that are under miso, the mid continent independent systems operator. And miso has warned that its entire region. The Midwest plus those two southern states is at high risk of blackouts. This winter. And if we do have blackouts, we are going to join a lot of other states experiencing them just over the last few days. You know, John, it's not like you guys need power in Minnesota, right? Because it's always nice and balmy, you can get out and you get plenty of sunlight up there. You can do all the stuff that you don't need that power, right? Winter is winter is a perfect time for these things. You could always go out and sleep under the trees. Yeah, something like that. People who understand the energy understand the grid and how the system operates have been seeing for years that blackouts are inevitable if we continue this mad dash to wind and solar energy as you know in my organization American experiment. I think it's got the top energy group in the United States and they've been putting out paper after paper analyzing electricity power in a variety of states. And they've been saying for several years that we are on the road to blackouts and as of this winter, we have arrived.

West Virginia Vs. The EPA
"Now let's move to West Virginia versus EPA, 'cause I wanted to thank you personally. People have no idea. I wrote a Washington Post column about the 6 month. This is the most important freedom case in the last three. I think Dobbs was big. Dobbs was huge. For saving life. But for saving freedom of people who were already alive, West Virginia versus EPA is, would you explain to people what that was about and how you succeeded? You want to the biggest cases we've seen in our lifetime. And here's why at the end of the day, a lot of people talked about the fact that all Morrissey went after the Biden climate agenda and we halted it on the regulatory side and some of the mandates still trying to put in place. But what this really, this case was really about essence, was in our country, you have a question. Who gets to decide the major questions of the day? Should it be unelected? Bureaucrats or should it be the people's representatives in Congress? And I think that the court was very clear that when you have matters of vast economic and political significance, it's, of course, critical for the Congress to make the decisions as to how it's going to proceed and not leave this to the unelected bureaucrats who reached out into their bag of tricks, pull out, twist to the ambiguous praise and say, we're going to reorder the nation's power grid or we're going to put broad new fashion mandates in place that osha and in other federal agencies, the CDC eviction,

What Have We Learned and What Is Our Strategy?
"Says Charlie, this is actually a really good question. Charlie, what have we learned and what is our strategy? Look, a movement that does not adapt. A military that does not adapt. An organization that does not adapt will die. It's that simple. You must always constantly be adapting and improving. And one thing that we have to learn from is in Maricopa County, if we just all broadcast election day election day election day, it doesn't go well. You can sabotage ambushes all this nonsense. So instead, and I want to make sure I'm very clear about this. The ideal, the ideal way, how we want elections to operate is different than what we have to navigate. The ideal I would love to have a national day where everyone goes and votes. Voter ID, one day of voting, that's it. The way France does it, you know the winner by the election night, but that's not the world we live in. So if you live in Georgia, I would not recommend voting by mail. But in person early voting. In person early voting, go get your vote banked. We need the entire America first, the entire conservative movement in Georgia. I could tell you there's going to be shenanigans and nonsense and all of this, but we have got to get Herschel Walker across the finish line. This is the difference between the Democrats, having reliable 52 48 Senate or a 50 50 Senate. And with a 50 50 Senate, you're going to have cinema in a tough reelection fight and cinema with hopefully a tough primary challenge that seems to be bubbling up in Arizona with congressman gallego. And also Joe Manchin, who's going to have a very difficult race if he decides to proceed. Joe Manchin just might go become a lobbyist. Where it looks as if the popular governor justice might run Morrissey might run. There's a lot of different people in West Virginia that will keep pressure on Manchin. So this Democrat 50 50 majority won't really even feel like a majority.

This is Ed Morrissey managing editor of hot air dot com coming to you from the relief factor dot com studios deep in the heart of Texas. Thanks for being with us today. Got a lot of things to talk about. Joe Biden on the campaign trail, we're going to get to that in just a moment just to do a couple of recap of recap of a couple of key stories. First off, sudden movement in the generic ballot. If you look at RealClearPolitics, suddenly Republicans are skyrocketing, Democrats are declining. We are shocked. Shocked to find that pollsters reaching the end of this cycle are starting to try to reflect reality in their final iterations of the generic ballot. Right now you've got Republicans at the highest level they've been all year, 48.1 percent on the RealClearPolitics, aggregate for the congressional generic congressional ballot. Democrats are now dipping downward, they're at 44.8. That is a 3.3 .3 lead for Republicans. This is on a metric where Democrats really have to be around a D plus four or a D plus 5 just to break even. There's all sorts of structural reasons for that. It has to do with polling. It has to do with the fact that these are congressional districts rather than states. Nevertheless, a Republican lead in any way shape or form is bad news for Democrats. And the way that this keeps expanding is even worse news. Monmouth came out yesterday with their latest poll, Republicans up 6, 50, 44, and even the yugov poll, which is a very Democrat friendly poll, came out, I believe it was either yesterday or the day before Republicans plus one. The only Democrat lead on any of these is from Politico slash morning consult, which was a registered voter, polling report. And you may ask yourself, why is morning consult still reporting registered voter results, not likely voter results? Well, your guess is as good as mine. I have a pretty good sneaking suspicion, though, that the likely voter modeling that they would use would show Republicans with a fairly significant lead. And so registered voters it is. They are still in their RV..

What do you think about that after you read Churchill in compared to the play, doctor art? Well, not as bad. Well, Shakespeare presents him as a foolish man. Yes. Churchill agrees with that. Because what did he do? He exiled two people and then confiscated the wealth of one of them. And since used the money to send troops off to Ireland. So he was unprotected and he left one of the people exiled with a deep grievance. And so that was Machiavelli one O one would tell you not to do that. And he drove them into it.

Putin's Desperation Is Losing the War He Started
"Doctor Kagan, thank you so much, by the way, for providing that platform to us. And I'd like to hear what you are looking at right now in terms of what the most important stories are coming out of Ukraine. Well, thanks so much. It's great to talk to you. The key story is that Putin is in a deep hole. The Ukrainians are with western support that absolutely essential has been conducting counteroffensives in the northeast and the south of their country. And the Russian conventional military is basically wrecked. It's remnants of beat up units that are trying desperately to hold on in the face of these Ukrainian counteroffensives and they're not doing well. Prudent responded to that by doing a partial call up of reservists, which is a disaster. He's grabbing guys who haven't been in the army for years. He's throwing them right to the front line without any training or preparation. They're trying to crowdsource their own equipment. This is how messed up the mobilization is they've got crowdfunding efforts for their guys to buy rifles and kit. Before they send them off to the front line, where tragically, really, because these guys are basically consequent. They are dying in droves. And starting to see that. And yesterday we saw 5 bodies go back to town in Russia, which prompted a lot of reporting from Russian sources that Russians listened to about how disastrously this mobilization is going and how these guys are just getting killed on the front line without contributing anything meaningful to Russia's defense.

Why Biden Doesn't Understand the Economy
"Let's go to another Joe Biden comment yesterday, which was equally facetious. Number 7, before I began, let me say a few words quickly about today's report on inflation. Americans are squeezed by the cost of living. It's been true for years and folks don't need to be reported to tell them there'd be a squeeze. Fighting this battle every day is a key reason why I ran for president of the United States. Inflation when he was running for president of the United States was running at 1.4% annually year on year. Cost of living increases is a function of a Fiat currency economy, right? I mean, this is what happens when you move off of gold standards. And that's another debate for another time. But the cost of living cost of living adjustments happen every year, regardless of whether you've got inflation going on or not. This is almost word salad here. There was no there was no remarkable inflation when Joe Biden was running for president was running at 1.4%. If that was the reason why he thought he needed to run for president, he shouldn't have bothered in the first place.

I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon, a summer of Portland, Oregon, at a high school experience like most young girls dream about I was fine. My junior year on class vice president, I'm on the drill team. I have a lead in the junior plan, the homecoming princess, and at the end of my junior year in high school, my high school boyfriend had gone off to college, came home on spring break. I get pregnant. Oh, wow. This is going to be, this is going to be a fun show. I already know you're already disclosed and stuff. This is going to be a fun show. All right.

I said, well, for rheumatoid arthritis I'm pregnant and married in that order, then yes, they're true. And he just put his hand down, he says, you know, you have terrific honors and greats, but you are not going to be allowed to return here for your senior year. Oh, my gosh. Totally inappropriate for a pregnant girl to get mixed in with the normal girls. Right. But if you do want to get a high school diploma in my dream, that always been to be a teacher, my professional dream. So I saw this as a detour, but not a dead end. And I did my high school diploma and I didn't want to get my undergraduate degree in education. So we have a place for people like you. It's across the river. It's not held during daylight. It's after dark. It's where a regular high school Washington high school became without changing the sign Washington evening high school. And I would be allowed to go to complete my high school education there with pregnant girls and delinquent boys. Oh my gosh. This is my group. So I remember driving in a part of Portland, I hadn't been allowed to drive in after dark, and parking my car walking up to the spring school thinking, okay, this is my new student body. And guys who are delinquents. I don't know where you were mapped as you started your senior year, but that's not a place most people are. That was how I began my senior year. My son was born in December. I graduated from Washington evening high school in May, and in July, I found myself in an intensive care Morgan in Portland hospital, having been diagnosed with fatal kidney disease. Oh my gosh. One kidney was totally destroyed with nephritis, kidney disease. The other had 50% destruction and active nephritis. Now in 1967, this is a death sentence without dialysis and transplants. Right. All of the wonderful doctors and people that others were just saying, we are horrifically sorry. But we don't have a cure for this. And one of the surgeons came in and said, we decided that if we get your blood talks and level reduced enough to sustain a surgery to remove that right kidney, maybe you'd have 6 months. Wow. And I am terrified. I'm 18 years old, I have a 7 month old son who I'm thinking, I may never see walk. Let alone kindergarten or all the other things that happen in a child's life. I'll never become a teacher, and the God of my upbringing was not a friendly place to go when you felt like you had really screwed up. Clearly, I had been categorized with the bad people. I mean, the pregnant roles were all one group. And here's the proof you've had this disease now, right? So this is God's wrath. Yeah, of course. Finally, the surgery was scheduled, and the night before the surgery, a woman walked in my room about 9 o'clock at night. Who identified herself as a visiting chaplain. And she said that she came several times a week and got the list of the surgeries the next morning and in the order of the most serious. My name was at the top of the list that I want someone to pray with me. And I was scared. And I said, okay, so she pulled her chair next to my bed and she didn't do anything that looked like prayer. She talked to me. And it started this way where she asked me, would you be willing to tell me what's been going on in your life the last year or two? So I told her my story.

The Power of Prayer
"I mean, this really is such a gentle, it's such a gentle meditative prayer that it just seems astonishing that anybody would single it out for criticism as being extremist. And I'll let you take it from there. Well, in so many ways though, it doesn't surprise me. I remember one morning standing outside of Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. And I had one of my rosary in my hands. And a woman came by and said, put it away. That's how she sounded. And I thought, of all the things that are happening in Manhattan right now. This is right. Really? But maybe it is, you know? I just think that Atlantic piece is such a reminder to us that prayer is actually powerful. And that someone would see it as such a threat to write that piece. Should be a reminder to us that we better be praying the rosary every day.

"Daniel Panetta is talking about, well, their sacramental is guns. I've never heard anybody sacramental as guns, but Democrats have sacramental abortion. And that is, I think, really what this is about. I think you put your finger right on it. Yeah, and unfortunately, we have seen in recent years attacks on religious freedom where you're only supposed to be in a place of worship, right? Right. There's a danger. And they're right, you know, there's a danger to living faith out in the world, you know? That's what we're supposed to do. And it is, it is, you know, a threat to evil and abortion is evil, you know? And the more we see, just attacks on reality, it's not a surprise that this Supernatural weapon would be would be seen as a threat. And what I love what you said about the tenderness of this, I mean, the rosary is a prayer that the mother of God leads us on meditating on the life of Christ. And there can be nothing. So grounding that, you know? Right. And so yeah, no, my prayer is that this attack leads to more people praying the rosary more people understanding what it is, you know, this could be a blessing in disguise.

"Jean, I certainly hope that you have your rosary out. I have my, I have my assault grade high capacity 59 cylinder rosary in my hand as I speak as I'm sure you do as well. Well, you know, the amazing thing about that Atlantic piece is that the rosary is the best weapon we have. To combat evil prayer prayer is real. It's action. And so inadvertently, the author of that Atlantic piece caught on to something, I do have to say though, there is something very much worries me about this. As someone who praised the rosary outside of Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. One thing I noticed, the first Saturday of every month, there is a witness for life outside Planned Parenthood in Manhattan. And this for the first time, I saw signs that said, don't pray here. Pray inside. You know, usually it's like God loves abortion and things like this. But we see in Ireland right now, they're trying to make it illegal to pray outside of an abortion clinic.

Liz and the Beltway
"Top story today is coming from Wyoming where Liz Cheney is now Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant all rolled up into one for losing a primary election. Wait a minute, let me check my notes on that. Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses grant for losing a primary election. Dwayne, these notes are terrible Dwayne. How is Liz Cheney Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant for losing a primary election? Well, as our friend Kurt schlichter said on Twitter last night, after she compared herself to grant, he said, well, at least grant served. You know, it just, I think we talked about it a little bit to go off air, which is that concession speech is largely a good example of why she lost. It really is. I mean, and this is part of the beltway obsession, lecture series. I guess that Liz Cheney has been on for the past year and a half. I mean, almost the entire term that she's been sort of focused on this, and it's because January 6th, of course, took place at the very start of the term. So that's part of what this is what's going on here. But this is a person who's clearly lost touch with Wyoming. She is fully invested in what's going on in the beltway, and Wyoming voters that got a chance to weigh in on it. Yeah, yesterday. The takeaway is Wyoming voters don't care about the one 6th committee. They want to know about inflation. They want to know about the same issues that everybody else cares about. And she doesn't seem to give any voice to normal issues. There's only one issue with her. And they just got tired of it. Now

Liz Cheney Is Now Abraham Lincoln
"We should probably, though, give Liz Cheney a chance to offer her thoughts on this. So let's go to cut number 16 and listen to Liz Cheney explain why she did what she did. The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history. Speaking at Gettysburg, of the great task, remaining before us, Lincoln said, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from this earth.

"Seems like his stance is don't necessarily coincide. Like he has, I think he seems quite unpredictable. Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to put it. I wanted to read a couple direct quotes him. From what he said. And so about being called racist. He says, when someone calls you racist, what they are saying is, um, you actually have a point. I don't know how to answer it, so perhaps if I distract you by calling you a bigot, we'll forget how enlightened your comment was. Oh, right, exactly. So that's terrible. And so he's saying, oh, the media is making me up to a monster, but if these are real quotes, I guess I wasn't there to know if he actually said this. But this is coming right out of your mouth. This is from a news source in the UK and I'll link to it in the show notes. So if somebody wants to fact check some of these quotes, but on Theresa May and Islam, he says. Let's see. Oh, no, no. Okay, so he has strong opinions on halal meat in the UK and he says, if you have any concern for animal welfare, for example, you can not possibly vote for either conservatives or labor because both parties support halal slaughter, which as we know is evil. Furthermore, Hal slaughter requires certification that only can be given by supporters of ISIS. And yet in England we have halal meat served in hospitals and schools. So while practice it correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the same way that Jewish meats are prepared? I don't know if it's strictly Islamic preparation. I don't know. I'm actually not sure. Because with the Jewish kosher thing, it's blessed by a rabbi or something. Yeah, okay. And hello me is prepared as prescribed by Muslim law. So again, I think I would have to fact check Morrissey and his statements are just always to the extreme. I guess when there was a mass shooting or I don't remember exactly what it was in Norway back in 2011, he made a statement that as follows quote, that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald's in Kentucky, Kentucky pride shit every day is how he phrased it. So he has like these strong stances like why give compassion to other humans because of what we do to animals? And I feel like it's like these kind of ideas that I grew out of years ago and so I don't know to put a button on this. I feel like I'm growing out of Morrissey. And yet he's still holding on to like trying to offend everybody that he possibly can. So he's a very similar stance on things with animals and pita as Brian Adams does. Brian Adams, the recording artist. That's correct. Yeah. When it comes to the treatment of animals and such, because there were some things that you quoted and things I read here that very much in line with how Brian Adams believes.

"And I'm reading the rest of the paragraph. Nowhere it doesn't mention the First Nations take on those things and cultural ways of looking at it that he seems very blind to. The seal hunt isn't something that I've looked in too much because it's just the whole idea of clubbing a baby seal just kills me inside. I hate it. I hate it. I don't understand it, but that being said, I don't understand it because I've never looked into it. Ah, yeah. But it's the boycott the whole country because of that. He takes those extremes. And then there is that element that most of that that's happening is within indigenous, what's the word I'm looking for? Like they've been doing it for a long time. It's part of their culture. Right. Right. So we need somebody who's indigenous on the show to discuss. Yeah. Yeah, so he seems blind to, in my opinion, his stances seem very typical of a white man of privilege of massive amounts of privilege. And so yeah, baby seal clubbing is terrible, but to boycott and these die hard fans of his up in Canada, they just had like they didn't get to see Morrissey because of that issue. Like even the people who are very like animal rights advocate kind of folks in Canada, we're just given the middle finger by Morrissey. It's like, what the hell? I think there's a lot of country who have their issues. Almost probably every country has negative things that happen. Or things like people may not agree with politically or morally. I'm sure that happens all throughout the world. But then you wouldn't have a world tour if you had the boycott every country for Texas, you don't agree with. Exactly. Yeah. So, I mean, I know we don't have just endless amounts of time, but I did want to get to the point that you made also with Michael Jackson that the media is spinning the way that we see people in the public eye to the point where I'm devastating for somebody like Michael Jackson and to give Morrissey his. He's always saying that the media is doing that about him. And what I read to you was from an article where they were pretty much saying that he's a Trump supporter despite the fact that or he's the kind of person who would be a Trump supported despite the fact that he seems to be more of a complicated figure than that. Yeah. But it.

"Everyone ultimately prefers their own race, as well as raise railing against the me too movement. And that was something I read today that makes me want to just be like, I got, can I really listen to more see anymore? Because even if I'm just listening to Morrissey on Spotify or whatever, he's still getting my penny every time I listen or you know, like you're having a dilemma, whether you want to support him financially in any way. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. And that's how streaming music works now. They get their percentages. Anyway, wow. And that didn't care for him before. I know. And so have you. So I've described to you my internal conflict around all this. Have you ever felt this way about any artists? Michael Jackson. Yeah. Yeah. That's a hard one. Oh my God, because his music is so good. I've always wanted to believe he was innocent, but sometimes it's really, it's gray. It's so great. To know how many people were legitimate or just trying to exploit him for money. He didn't leave himself in a good place to look good or innocent in any way. But then there's a part of me that also feel bad for him because he went through the body dysmorphia and all these things because of how he was treated by his father. He would have probably been quite a different human being if he hadn't been abused the way he had. But I mean, I don't know. I'm now at the point that I can separate whatever Michael Jackson is as a person from his songs. Because his songs are just too good. His art history was just above and beyond. And now I'm okay with just being able to listen to the tunes and not worry about.

"Almost like lines of poetry and even back then I'm sure seem very pretentious to a lot of people, but now it just doesn't seem like he's trying that hard. And he's almost trying harder now to just offend. And it's kind of ugly sometimes in some of his newer music. I wish that you know I fully support people being creative late into their careers. I think it's a wonderful, beautiful thing that if you can still be writing and performing, please do. But sometimes I'm just like, but the music you're coming up with now is just yeah. Can you just stop? Yeah, it might be one of those cases. But in his mind, he might think that this is the most brilliant work he's ever done. You never know. Yeah, yeah, and all the power to him, then, I guess, because still tons and tons of people are listening, but he's alienated a lot of people recently. Are we ready to get more into his? Let's do this. Well, great. Before I do, I want to say that I was afraid that the research that I was going to do today was going to kind of put me off of him entirely for a while. Because I know that he's been taking some really strong stances like anti Islamic stances and varying nationalistic politics. Yeah, I'll read you some quotes. And I've been trying to just, I thought that this was something that we could talk about to that would be really interesting is separating the artist from the music. And I'm sure you've had to do this. Oh yeah. Yeah, because some people are monsters. I'm not saying that Morrissey's a monster, but you can write beautiful music or incredible music with a lot of talent, but still be a really shitty person. Yes. And it has been some people it is a battle to listen to their music again in the same way. It to separate the human from the art can be quite difficult. But sometimes the songs are so impactful that you're just like, I can't let the song go, though. Yeah. I listened to the boner drag album a couple weeks ago, cranking it all the way, my partner, she was so patient with me. She just let me. She's like, okay, I get into these moods, I guess where all I want to listen to is Morrissey..

"Of a shyness that is criminal le vulgar. You would know that song if you heard it for sure. It's going to be one of those where you hear it and you go, oh, yeah. It is the song that everybody knows. But that was the smith. So that was before his solo work. But meat is murder and even going to his concert for that song like typically you want to have a good time at a concert, right? And Morrissey is like, I don't fucking care if you have a good time and so he during that song and it's a long song and it's all about how he thinks, you know, a lot like these atrocities going on within factory farms and how we treat animals and how we consume animals as just like any other assembly line kind of product. And so for the entire the entire song, he just, they pull down a projector and he just projected images of animals being slaughtered at slaughterhouses. And I feel like these are the kind of images that people need to see. We don't have to go into my politics, but there are a lot of reasons why he was such an important figure to me growing up. And then something about just the very unique sound that he has and the way he shapes his songs really spoke to me and if you were to label it as anything I guess back in the 80s, the Smiths were like doing this kind of post punk, it wasn't really new wave. It was something that they were shaping themselves that came out of those days of punk rock in the late 70s, early 80s. And then his 90s stuff and his stuff now, especially his stuff now. I guess you can just kind of label it as like generic rock. Really? Yeah. I don't know how I would label his newer stuff. He has a very unique way of singing and that that's why I can't really label it. It's not operatic, but he almost sings very like he reaches down deep and he can really project his voice and my parents just think he's nasally. I remember trying to, for my 21st birthday, we drove all the way to Las Vegas. They thought I would love going to Vegas. And I was like, oh, well, we get to listen to what I want to listen to in the car then. And I remember my dad having to turn it off. He's like, he's so whiny and nasally. Not for everybody, but that is how I would describe Morrissey, I guess. Do you think he's stronger as a music writer or as a lyricist? That's a good question because I honestly don't know how much help he has actually shaping his songs, writing the. Framework of the songs. I used to think that he was a poetic genius, and now I almost cringe. Listening back to some of his music and listening to his newer music, it almost seems like he's given up on. I don't know, trying to I think he used to be able to. Reach somewhere deep inside himself. And pluck out these pithy kind of.

"You know, like some of the videos that they would show at like two in the morning or something. I don't even remember if MTV signed off in the 90s, but I guess I was a bit too young to remember. But I just know that he was huge in the UK and let me look at this section for awards, the BRIT Awards. I'm not very familiar with, but I'm assuming that's not. I've watched them here. I've watched them, they were always aired on much music here in Canada. Much music being somewhat similar to MTV. I knew much music operated on an 8 hour show a day with three rotations. So when you were talking about MTV ever shutting off for the day, they might have done something similar. I don't know. Do you know the gaffa awards, GA FFA? I've heard the term, but I don't know what they are. He's been nominated for that twice, and okay, the NME awards. Do you know that what that stands for? New music express, I believe that's a magazine publication. Okay, okay, because they love the hell out of Morrissey. I don't know where that. That's published, but dating back to 8 from 84 to the latest was 2006. He was given a bunch of awards by that magazine. He said it was a magazine. Best songwriter, best dressed, best haircut, best male singer, most wonderful. This one's interesting, most wonderful human being and he won that award several times. What? And what I want to get into today with Morris, the research that I was doing today, I want to highlight how much of a wonderful person he is. With a lot of his public statements that he's made. I don't know if we're ready for that yet or if you want more C backgrounds. Let's go into the background and then we can get to that point. Just so that people have a little more information on them. Okay. So he is still a recording artist. And my favorite album of his was late 80s, bona drag, which I don't think was a studio album. I think it's kind of it was more like a compilation album or unreleased song elbow. I can't quite remember. But that was the album that had a huge impact on me. And he writes a lot about just being depressed.

"So if I were to focus on something, I'm going to be cool to talk about all the music in the 90s that helped raise me. You know? And just also focus on people that nobody may have remembered. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. As well as the people who are the heavy hitters. I'm glad that you wanted to talk about Morrissey because you said that you weren't very familiar with Morrissey. Especially as an icon of the 90s popular media well, what I know about Morrissey is yes, very limited. But I do know that he's no flash in the pan artist. He is probably quite legendary. Yeah. Because I know he has a legion of fans. I was thinking about that. I've never spoken to a Brit who has not who doesn't know who Morrissey is. But I feel like I've definitely talked to Americans who were either like who's that? Or I don't really know any of his music or like where are you from? I am, I grew up in upstate New York. Okay. So and you're up in Canada, right? That's right, Western Canada. Okay. Are you in British Columbia or Alberta? Alberta. That's right. I knew that. Yeah. So, yeah, Morrissey was pretty important to me in my teenage years. But before that, I hadn't really heard of morsey either. So I was born. I was born in 88 and I've been reflecting on nostalgia all day today, but I was thinking like, he was definitely an icon of the 90s. I was doing some research. The only time he was nominated for a Grammy was in the 90s. I think for his album, your arsenal, which was 93, but I was obviously way too young for that period of Morrissey. But it is what I started exploring once I got into more. So like, his late 80s, early 90s stuff, was like monumental to me as a teenager. Last time I find is when you're first listening to the artist when you first discover them in general, if you're that interested in the music, most you will dig into the back catalog. Yeah. You don't really see people just start halfway through their career and ignore the white got them there. Definitely. Definitely. And you don't look much older if you're at older at all than I am. So is that a lot of your 90s nostalgia too kind of like reflecting back on music that came out even before you were listening to it? Is there that kind of layer to your nostalgia? Mine nostalgia is primarily based on when I got to choose music for myself at what age I got to do that. That's where most of the nostalgia lies. I am 42 years old. So I was born in 1971. Well, you look definitely look young. Well, thanks. Yeah, so that's where it's kind of centered for me because it wasn't until the late 80s and until I was picking my own music making my own choices that way. That makes sense. Okay. Hence the Tiffany album on the wall. That was the first record that I chose for myself..

And this is the perfect day to do that. I also want to give recognition to the fact that I'm recording this on what was once the tribal lands of the kiowa, the kansa and the pawnee tribes, those are the tribes that were once here before colonialization and the subjugation and forced removal of many different peoples from this country. So those are my stopping grounds now, as I'm settled in kind of western central Kansas. And I wanted to give thanks to the fact that, well, the colonius goal of wiping out tribal culture has not been entirely successful and all these years later we do have a way to do tons of research and learn about these tribes and respectful ways reach out and see how you can help these people and at the same time learn about their cultures. So I wanted to throw that out there as well. Whatever you're doing today, I hope that you're just giving thanks and recognition to all the all the privileges that you have in this world and maybe try to take some time to think about think about why you're able to kind of just enjoy a comfortable life.

Cut it out at which bullshit was wrong. You know learn from an early age. Don't look like a tourist anywhere. You go tourists totally. 'cause there's scams there's been regulars like the glasses scam glasses scam o- if somebody like if you're getting on the subway or getting off this way or whatever you like you're passing someone by on the platform they like bump into you and then their glasses fall on the ground and they're broken and thing is that they've already had broken glasses and they dropped them and then they're like these were one hundred and forty dollars like you owe me money and then they'll like follow you and you know they try to get you to pay for the glasses yes glasses damn guys are here that new york city. It's one of the oldest one that sounds like an old people still do it though. Like i've definitely seen the we trap you into purchasing things with the glasses being a unique one. Because i'm like yeah like these weren't these are chanel are parker. Whoever's got both expensive glasses cheaper but yeah that's such a good scam. Thank you tracy wine bottle. Expensive wine bottle same scam. But they'll do the wine bottle and they'll drop it near like. That was an eighty dollar bottle of wine. I'm going to someone's house. How could you boba so you can buy it. Here's the thing if someone can buy eighty dollar bottle of wine. They're not taking the subway right also will if they combined eighty dollar bottle of wine they better be able to buy another eighty dollar bottle radically like this. My last eight hit down. He made the cabinet. Like why wouldn't be purchasing cabernet if you can't afford it but yeah that's a good point and all. Those things involve urgency to. Because then it's like oh we're on the subway like you need to give them this money right now like yes. I always say guys anywhere. You go traveling. Like i look. I love me. I love new york the knicks beach. But like by giving you a mid western family when you get home. Don't wear that shit. Don't look like the tourism. Because i promise you people target torres.

They said no more to cash no six. I've got no. Oh yes. I love this. This is why you can't deal. You're dealing with bad bitches obviously had at least a little bit of coin and they're older they bought a mighty morphin okay. They've seen some stuff. Yeah they say assemble.

I love your haircut with his back. Lash oh yes we love him batty on the pied the good looking. Guys what am i. It is that by Where all the hottest entertainers and i do mean. Do you have any relationship with scams. Have you ever been scammed. You like them do like. Where do you live on the spectrum. I'm like obsessed with scams. I love scams i like. I'm like a scam fan. I'm interested in them. But i also like i don't ever want to be a victim of a scam so i'm like super have my you know antenna up all the time i like. You know i love messing with robo. Callers like who are trying to like you know. Get my social security number or tell me that my apple. Id has been compromised. Any of that stuff. I have a lot of fun with them. But you know. I was trying to think if i've done scams before and before you know before coming on. I know that you talk about scams up top if anyone's been a scammer but like i don't i don't know if i do definitely nothing like a legal like my scams are like cutting lines like like you know like like all like like even like i'm getting on an on ramp and there's a long line of cars al go right up to the front and like cut people off so like definitely like asshole stuff but like not like criminals stuff. Okay well. I want to say that you are not ass overdoing. That is actually how traffic is so post to work. I got coasts out last week at an intersection. Because i did that. Where it was like a long line of people trying to bottleneck because the one road lane was going to end. And i just drove up the lane that was ending up to the top and then got in where i fit in and this truck was so mad. They were honking and like trying to get my attention. I have my windows down. So i just had to kind of like play like our couldn't here and just stared straight but that's if to drive a school that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to merge at the last second so that you could keep the flow of traffic going. Yeah i mean. I feel like only suckers wait in the line. Listen i'm all about that. I skip all the lines. I've skipped so many lives. I remember once there was a really. There was a screening for barry jenkins movie. Oh is that. Judy is that your this is judy. I'm such a creep. I i was like thought a little sweater. You may. I was like okay seems yeah. I love knitting. This woman is a stalker. I have no right calling anyone a stalker. The amount of research do people right. I mean it's i think we have to get to the point in the internet age where we just say like yes while you were there on instagram. I don't. I don't know anything about people anymore. Like you put it on the gramling. Actually like it would be almost like insulting if like you know. It's like not that. I expect people to go and look at my stuff but like i'm not at all a weird it out like i have a public instagram. If someone sees stuff about my life. It's like because i i put it out there. I put it there right but so many people have had so many people be like. Oh oh oh you stopped me girl you on the on the internet for free for everybody which i refills like grandparents obituaries and stuff. Like like i do that to go deep. I mean if. I'm dating someone or if someone pisses me off or something like that like i'm like what do i need to know about this. I need you to get their research up front. I like that before we get into was high and fraud. I will finish my other in line. Have you ever like cut in line and like almost caught like someone says something like. Oh i mean. People are screaming at me from their cars constantly or destinations are yelling at me. White noise for you now aggressive driver. You know you have to new york. No i been right so like when covid. When the lockdown started they started this like new procedure at whole foods where you go in to the parking garage and then you know you you come up into the store. This is how it is in brooklyn and usually just walk through the store up at the top to go down to the basement. We're like all the grocery shopping as And that's what. I was trying to do. And i saw that. There's like they were forcing people to leave immediately and lineup outside and walk to the line outside it was like get the hell out of here. I'm not waiting in that line. So i would just wear headphones and for a while worked for several months. But then they finally were like ma'am and like chased down. You have to go outside. Oh i didn't know. I had no idea. I'm so sorry that was like the you know you gotta ride it until i love you because we all know we work for any large company like you. Don't really give that many folks gonna chase you around the store like well. We told her all right she went and then finally you got. You probably got a hater. Who was on the job and was like no. I'm not gonna take this. She will go out into the line. The i figured probably was at a point where people were being like such jerks about like wearing masks on whatever you know like just and people who are working on groceries were like really like had line workers all of a sudden yeah and they just had it with people like me that was the biggest scam of the pandemic is calling people who work in grocery stores essential workers but then not paying them like they're essential. You're saying that their lives. Easy booby put on the line. Right you said a central right and then what this paid. I'd look if essential. This pay is looking very replaceable. Health insurance it's like one thing like you know your doctor your nurse you ha-.

You're producing page tuna. When you sat out what will you speak. -tations as a writer. What did you heaven. Mind as a goal get published a we all right but giving a book published. But that's what i wanted to do. That was my childhood ambition from age. Seven was you know. I had no idea what i was going to do. But i was very fortunate in that i met a very elderly dorothy mccullough and she lived down in the pit watering the bush where i was living a seven year old and she invited me in for tea and biscuit and i'd never seen we will quite cool and i'd never seen so many books because i adored books and i said well i had to make up stories in my own head because i got a christmas and birthday and she very seriously said well my dear you put your stories down in a one day for other people to enjoy and i want to go to iraq but discount totally school and become an all. The you just didn't do quite a bit in age order in those days. Dj and now a bit. What i did do was you know. I was struggling and i was modeling. It was doing a bit acting and like floundering because my mother couldn't afford to send me university And my very wise uncle who was maybe seeing foreign correspondent said the best thing you can do is go work on a newspaper magazine. Each took manda eyesafe pay. And i got a job as a copy goal and then a cadet on the woman's weekly the best thing i could've done it's fantastic and that produce the theme of before the storm because there's a very strong fame about the importance of local media and that is a very personal view. You are currently running a monthly independent newspaper in iran. Community called the manning community news and it's all founded virtually out of novel new bank account as an and a few brave advertisers. Well for one thing. The demise of local mania is shocking when news limited sold all all their you know regional newspapers. That had banned in. Fairfax was taken over by a mistrial in community may or something and they've just kind of swallowed everything up the bark big culprits. Who are no longer. They only interested really in advertising and selling newspapers and so they like zombie papers. Same stuff is in all of them all over the country. Local news is what communities and even suburban communities a need that. You wanna know what's going on in your backyard. What you'll counsel's doing and what's happened to my grayson rubbishing buddy roads. You know yes. The annette applies even more so in isolated regional communities so the local newspaper is really important and and also a lot of aging population. They don't wanna go online and read newspapers. I wanna walk up the street and have a cup of tea. Say they might pick up the paper and sit down and read it. So that's why the online but the majority of me of newspapers and they circulate way of our area. But i have. I have general news in international news and stuff. I find interesting which apparently other people do. Plus you know.
