A highlight from George Washington: Bitcoin Maximalist?
"Would our founding fathers be buying Bitcoin, stacking satoshis, sending it into the rafters? Let's take a closer look. I'm Drew, here to bring you the Druth. As the U .S. edges closer and closer to what appears to be a controlled demolition, we must take a deep breath, a step back, and realize this amazing chance that we have as a nation to recapture our sovereignty in a brave, peaceful, and eloquent manner. But first of all, what is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a decentralized, trustless, private, finite, open -source, and permissionless, immutable financial system. In short, it's secure, and it keeps moving. These values have shaped the development and adoption of Bitcoin in an effort to create a more decentralized and equitable financial system. Now, how does this decentralized, equitable financial system pair up to the founding fathers? Well, the founding fathers played a pivotal role in the creation of the United States. They believed in an individual liberty, a limited government, and a free market economy. They also believed in the importance of privacy and the need for checks and balances to put a stop to England's abuse of power. Thomas Jefferson famously said in 1802, I believe that the banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than any standing army. If the American people ever allow private banks to control their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around these banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless in the continent their fathers once conquered. Let's avoid that dystopian process. When central banks remain unchecked, money creation is privatized and allowed to feed a constantly growing war machine. Look across the ocean at what's happening in the Middle East right now. This has no outlook of stopping. Although taxes stoked colonists' original anger, the Tea Act itself didn't raise the price of tea in the colonies by one red cent, or shilling as it were. The American colonists believed that Britain was unfairly taxing them to pay for expenses incurred during their French and Indian War. Where are we now? Well, this nation is founded on a revolution against taxation without representation. We have been slow -boiled into another situation of tyranny actual. Do you feel like the elected leaders are truly representing your wishes at this point? Today's tax levels are as follows. You have 15 % income tax, 8 % sales tax, short -term gains tax up to 37%, and long -term gains at 20%. Not to mention a litany of other property taxes. Biden hopes to raise these tax rates even higher to help propagate the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and now it looks like Israel will be added to the list, unfortunately. We must stop this irresponsible mode of operation before it's truly too late for humanity. Back to my original question. Would our founding fathers be stacking bitcoin right now? Hell yeah! Bitcoin has shared our founder's distrust of centralized power. Bitcoin operates outside of the control of governments and financial institutions, allowing for a more free market economy. This is very similar to the founding father's belief in a limited government and a free market economy as well. Americans celebrate the civic virtues of our founding fathers like George Washington, but there is another founding father who deserves celebration in today's day and age, and that is Satoshi Nakamoto. Like Washington, Satoshi walked away from immense power, and so now bitcoin is roaming free. For anyone you know that has a sovereign mindset and is looking to regain their own personal liberties, share this message with them. Spread this across the internet far and wide so that we can help shape the future. And until next week, Druth out.

"I was walking through the house the other night and my wife had left the TV on in the bedroom. I was going in to change clothes or do something, I don't remember what it was, but she had some HGTV show on and I heard the woman say, well, I'm a visionary, so here's what I suggest you do.

A highlight from The Left Is Removing Statues & Erasing Americas History
"It's a real blessing to be surrounded by good people, and there are people who have my back struggling a little bit today. Two dreaded words, dry socket. Anybody who's had a wisdom tooth extraction knows the perils of dry socket. Well, good old dummy me got it and not doing so hot. So we're going to bring in my pal Kevin McCulloch. Kevin and I got to visit on the big Salem, New York, cruise around the island of Manhattan a week or two ago. Kevin, of course, is an accomplished talk show host based in New York City. He's been heard for years on our Christian station and on the news talk station. This is a man of faith, a terrific guy. And Kevin, you're going to help back me up a little bit today. I might be handing off the baton right off the bat. Have you ever had wisdom tooth dry socket problems before? No, I haven't. And just the sound of the words dry socket strike fear into my deepest being. So I feel very badly for you, Mike, and we've got whatever you need from us today. We're here to help. It's every bit as bad as it sounds, and it's not a good thing. It's what you don't want after you have a... I knew it was going too easy. I had the wisdom tooth removed Friday afternoon after the show. Everything was going great. Saturday, I was feeling great, Sunday not so good. And so it happens sometimes. So it's good to have you here with us. And first of all, many, many thanks to the great job you always do when you fill in for us. Of course, I've been listening to you for years, and it must be a fun experience for you because you're sort of transitioning from your own audience and your base into sort of another platform with our show. And I know our listeners have welcomed you with open arms. Well, I have, and Mike, the Mike Gallagher audience continues to be, I think, not only the most informed because of your daily efforts, but they prove to be generous in all of the campaigns that you do. And as I said when I filled in for you the last time, because I work PM Drive, I'm a big Mike Gallagher listener. I listen and actually many times watch your show on the Salem News Channel. And it's just fun to hang out in your sandbox. So thank you for letting me do that. Thank you. And thank you to Jerry Crowley and everybody at Salem Media of New York that allows us to have all the connections to do. It takes a lot of technology to do what we're doing at this very moment, Mike. And if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to. You'd be in dry socket hell if we didn't have a better management team. And speaking of Salem News Channel, That Kevin Show has become a big hit on SNC. You're doing a great job with that. And I love the mix. And I was one of your first guests. I was really honored to be on your show. And you've got a great blend of politics and pop culture and lifestyle and all kinds of neat stuff. In fact, speaking of that, let's kick off with some breaking news. Donald Trump Jr.'s account on X, formerly Twitter, was apparently hacked earlier today. I don't know if you've heard this story. There were a series of – well, get this. There were a series of offensive tweets, including one that said, I'm sad to announce my father, Donald Trump, has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024. You know, Kevin, there's such evil out there and there is such sickness and mean -spiritedness and viciousness. And somehow this almost seems par for the course, doesn't it? Well, it's one of those things where if Donald Trump lives this rent -free in the left's heads, just imagine how effective he'll be if he's reelected. I mean, this is – you've got to remember, and I know that you do, Mike, but for people that are listening, particularly cynics, Donald Trump's one of the few presidents that campaigned on a slate of promises and then went and actually did what he promised. If he comes back, he's already making promises about what's going to happen. There's going to be cleaning of the House and the FBI and the DOJ. There's going to be getting rid of the deep state at the Pentagon and places where wokeness has overtaken actual common sense in terms of policy. So of course they're going to play dirty and of course they're going to try to do everything they can. And all I have to do to compare what they think about Donald Trump Jr. is just ask the question, Hunter Biden? Question mark? No kidding. No kidding. Is there any comparison between the two? And you know, speaking of Trump and his promises and his predictions, something has come to fruition in New York City, and you know the city as well as anybody. Now comes news that these goofballs in Manhattan are actually going to consider taking down statues or any commemoration of George Washington, of Christopher Columbus. And I want to go back to 2017. I want to play this for you, Kevin. Check out what Trump said, because when he said it at the time, they condemned him. Oh, how crazy is he? Check this out. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to them a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down excuse me, are we going to take down are we going to take down statues to George? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now we're going to take down his statue. So Kevin McCullough, do you remember the backlash? Do you remember the backlash he got when he said that and they mocked him and they said, what a lunatic. And he's a fear monger. And now just look at what's happening in New York City, what he predicted could be coming to fruition. Yeah. And you know, what's particularly sad about that, Mike, it's like if people have a different view of history, so be it. That doesn't mean, number one, that they should set policy for what everybody thinks about history. And certainly I would make an argument that history is made by flawed people. And it's really people that overcome the worst flaws of what they have that really do great things and that we should celebrate the great achievements, not expect every single human being to have been perfect. But beyond all of that, this city's in a mess. We have crime. We've got migrant overpopulation in ways and areas that we can't even begin to deal with. And this is what people want to focus on. I mean, and it is you're talking about a warped mix of priorities for sure. It's upside down. And it's absolutely happening as I mean, I've been following this and I'm in just absolute utter amazement, as you say, New York City dealing with crime, crippled under monumental budget cuts due to the illegal immigration issue that frankly the Democrats created. I mean, you want to be a sanctuary city, be a sanctuary city. And now the City Council's Cultural Affairs Committee is going to hold a public hearing on a measure to remove works of art on city property that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery. Well, of course, George Washington's at the top of that list. So Trump was right. These nuts in New York and in other blue cities are going to try to remove the founding fathers from our consciousness because they own slaves. And it's exactly what Trump said back in 2017.

On This Day in History: The Hamilton-Burr Duel of 1804
"Thing I wanted to talk about was, and this is something I came across, I didn't realize it was today and really has not been covered like it used to be when this commercial came out. But on this day in history, I'm getting this from Fox News. July 11th, 1804, Aaron Burr, mortally wounds, Alexander Hamilton and a duel. Oh, wow. Do you remember that? Yes. You guys remember that from, you know, from high school or junior high history class, right? Is that amazing? That's amazing. It's, it's amazing because, you know, when you talk about how things were settled back then, when it comes to politics, and then you look at today, it's strikingly different. But a quick little history lesson for those who may not know this. And I think we have a drawing from that, from that day as well. Aaron Burr, who was serving as president, Thomas Jefferson's vice president. So Aaron Burr was a vice president. This is like Kamala Harris. All right. So imagine Kamala Harris now, because she's the vice president. Mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury in a pistol duel on this day, July 11th in 1804. Burr had long been politically motivated, had a long politically motivated feud with Hamilton. The feud culminated, of course, in a request from Burr for a duel. Now this is how the story goes. Thus, Burr wrote to Hamilton, you have invited the course I'm about to pursue. Nobody writes like this or talks like this anymore. It's amazing. You have invited the course I'm about to pursue and now your silence impose it upon me. While dueling, while dueling was illegal in New York and New Jersey, dueling carried a less harsh penalty in New Jersey. So guess where they did it in New Jersey, Bush and Hamilton agreed to a duel in Weehawken, just over the river from Manhattan on, on the morning of July 11th, 1804, three years earlier, Hamilton's eldest son, Phillip had died in a duel in the same place.

The Left Uses 'Equity' to Destroy Merit-Based Systems
"That I am right nearby the scene of now breaking news this afternoon Which is out of fairfax county Virginia The Thomas Jefferson high school for science and technology has been considered the single best high school in the country It's a unique school It's a public school but for years it's at a very difficult merit based admissions process so that only the absolute best and brightest students could get into it they would then be able to study together with people of similar capabilities similar achievement learning from talented teachers in order to then move on in life to higher education and very successful careers It's a place for very gifted students And so as you might expect it's difficult to get into When you have an admissions process that requires assessing the merit of each of these students But like so many other things the left has tried to get involved and destroy it Merit based things must be destroyed And in its place must be put something called equity Now equity on his face is a nice little euphemism that sounds like it is designed to advance equality but by now you know that that's not the case Equity is racial prejudice dressed up as virtue It is racial prejudice dressed up as virtue So what did the left identify about Thomas Jefferson's high school for science and technology that they didn't like Too many Asians Too many Asian families too many Asian students and that needs to be ended And they weren't shy about this

"thomas jefferson" Discussed on National Day Calendar
"Welcome to April 13th, 2023 in the national day calendar. Today we celebrate our presidential Jack of all trades and nerdy wordplay. Today we're celebrating an archeologist and architect of foodie and a bibliophile, and they're all the same person. Our third president, Thomas Jefferson, was not just the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, he was also immensely curious about our world. As an archeologist, he had the bones of a Mastodon sent to him while president, as an architect, he not only designed his home Monticello, but also the Virginia state capitol. As a book lover, he gave his library of over 6500 books to the U.S. after the British destroyed the Library of Congress during the war of 1812, and as a foodie, he's responsible for the popularity of foods such as Mac and cheese and ice cream on national Thomas Jefferson day, celebrate a president with panache. The game of Scrabble was invented during The Great Depression by an out of work architect. For anyone who grew up on Mars, Scrabble is played with two to four players who score points by forming words from individual letter tiles on a game board marked with a 15 by 15 grid. Since its humble beginnings, Scrabble is now played in 120 countries in 29 different languages. It was also featured as a television game show in the 1980s. The highest scoring word ever recorded in a Scrabble tournament earned a whopping 392 points. The word was spelled. Pronounced physiques, which is a type of oriole. On national Scrabble day, challenge someone you know to the classic board game or play online to bring out your inner word nerdiness. Are you good at this game? I have an inner word. I knew that. A man of severe. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate every day. What do I get for the?

Eric and Clifford Nichols Unpack America's Untenable Situation
"Find ourselves today in America in an untenable situation. We find ourselves subject to the tyrannous behavior of what is technically our own government. It's unacceptable. We've got to do something about it. The question is what to do. But the parallels, I mean, not only because of my familiarity with Germany in the 30s because I wrote my book bahnhof, but I think that it bears saying that people, even before Hitler officially took power in 33, people like the great Dietrich von Hildebrand, the Catholic philosopher and hero, he knew that the people taking Germany over were criminals. They were genuinely criminals. Many people didn't get that at first. Eventually a lot of the people that didn't get it did get it, but by then it was too late the nation had been taken over by criminals. That's effectively what is happening right now. When they talk about taking Trump out by any means necessary, they have abrogated the rule of law. It's obvious from the way they are behaving. The question cliff is, what do we do about it? And one is to get unified, we have a lot of different issues, we have people protesting school boards, state legislators, it's fractal. It's rationalized. And if you have a unified platform, that is a statement that Thomas Jefferson used the Declaration of Independence for to state to the world here are the grievances and here are the solutions. Okay, but obviously cliff. Jefferson was not some rogue guy. Jefferson was a group part of a larger group who had authority who were leaders, not just in a movement, but many of whom were leaders in the colonial government at the time. It seems to me have a parallel to that.

Alan Dershowitz: "We Are Losing Our Standing in the World"
"You're right. Some of our politics are polar opposites, but I think it's so admirable because we agree on the fruits of the enlightenment of due process and checks and balances the constitution and decency and dialog. I'm really afraid we're losing that. I think please go ahead. If they read my book, get Trump. You will find bases, grounds for agreement. You will find that, you know, this is not a throw Republican pro Trump. It's not a pro Democrat book. It's a pro Alexander Hamilton. James Madison, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson.

The Entire Progressive Movement Was Started by Academics...
"Entire progressive movement was started by a council of academics Woodrow Wilson was a college president of Princeton University and then became governor of New Jersey and then president in 1912. And he really started this kind of progressive era where he was the first American president where he said the American founders got it wrong. We're in a new era. He said, we know, we have an industrial might. We don't need these life liberty and pursuit of happiness. We don't need this promise of the founding. We're a new man. And that's something that is laced in your education here that academics push, which is that now we're in the modern era, we no longer need the thinkers the traditions, the patterns or the customs of what came before. And if you look very carefully in your class, you'll pick up on this now. There's kind of there's an embedded bias towards modernity. Basically like, well, we have Twitter. We have airplanes. We have advil. Therefore, we're smarter than Thomas Jefferson. I think people put way too much trust in progress. Way too much trust. And in fact, I think human beings don't change regardless of the technology around us. In fact, it actually makes our broken nature more likely to screw up. Technologies and amplifier on our broken nature. In fact, if we raise bad people that are devoid of wisdom and we give them super weapons called smartphones and they don't know why they're on this earth or their purpose or their meaning, then they're going to be the most suicidal generation in history, which is exactly what's happening right now.

Man Doesn't Do Well in Cities
"It interesting that nimrod said, let's build a city. First time we ever hear that, and cities are known for the propagation of evil. That's right. And danger, man doesn't do well in cities unless God is the builder. It's interesting, both the Torah, the first 5 books of the Bible, and Thomas Jefferson, both hated big cities. The American founders read this text and they designed a system of government to say we do not want all this power and cosmopolitan densely populated urban areas. That's right. In fact, the founding fathers were so biblically literate. If you read the federalist papers, Alexander Hamilton, federalist 47, federalist 51, federalist 58. They talked time and time again about the heated passions in cities where rancor, rumor and half truths, reigns supreme were the mobs and the masses are able to get what they want, but reason goes to die. God tried to warn us in genesis 11. Hey, if you guys build these cities, all of a sudden, you're not going to be governed by your reason, you're rationality or your logic, but it's going to be the tyranny of the clamoring majority. My goodness. You look at federalism, states rights. You look at this idea of the local church, all of that is saying we learn the lesson from genesis 11 and we're not going to try to build something central or something big or something strong and you see that it direct odds with the world economic form of what they're doing right now.

Jeff Katz: Virginia Schools Discriminated Against Top Students
"It sure seems as if this was done intentionally to keep certain kids from being notified of these honors and then getting scholarships and early admissions. And this was originally it was at Thomas Jefferson high school, which is one of the top schools in America public schools in America from what I understand Jeff, but now we understand there may be as many as 16 high schools where this happened. Absolutely tied to TJ as it's colloquially known. And fairfax is one of the greatest high schools in America. It's also the subject of ongoing litigation on the part of Asian American families who say they are being discriminated against as TJ and some of the advisers and fairfax who said, well, we need to be quote more equitable in admissions and stop looking at test scores and grades. And you're right. It's now comprising apparently 16 different schools here in Virginia channel 7 out of D.C. is covering the story pre extensively and it seems to be I guess the motivation, the best way I can say it because everybody is pushing back, as I said, but the motivation seems to be that this is all about that equity push that says everybody has the same outcome. So these students who have broken their rear ends to score the highest get the best grades and their entitled to these things, they're being denied the opportunity to number one even know that they received this designation, which is huge and then to utilize it when they apply to some of the best colleges in America for early admission, early decision, and as you rightly point out, and I think this is probably where the litigation is sure to follow actual scholarships that amount to dollars and cents.

"Welcome to April 13th, 2022 in the national day calendar. Today we celebrate our presidential lunch in the world's favorite word game. Thomas Jefferson was a true renaissance man. He wrote the Declaration of Independence, he doubled the size of the United States via the Louisiana Purchase and he even stalked the Library of Congress with thousands of his own books. But it's one of his lesser known contributions to society that still helps parents everywhere navigate the madness of feeding their kids every day. You see, Jefferson is responsible for introducing macaroni and cheese to Americans. He imported the dish from France and experimented with his own version until he got his recipe just right. It took years, but Mac and cheese caught on with the public and is still around to this day, becoming a go to for kids and those of us who are kids at heart. On national Thomas Jefferson day, celebrate with a bowl of this comfort food in honor of our third president. The game of Scrabble was invented during The Great Depression by and out of work architect. For anyone who grew up on Mars, Scrabble is played with two to four players who score points by forming words from individually lettered tiles on a game board marked with a 15 by 15 grid. Since its humble beginnings, Scrabble is now played in 121 countries in 29 different languages. It was also featured as a television game show in the 1980s. The highest scoring word ever recorded in a Scrabble tournament earned a whopping 392 points. The word was spelled. Which is a type of oriole. On national Scrabble day, challenge someone you know to the classic board game or play online to bring out your inner word nerdiness. I've never heard of physiques. I haven't either. So Mac and cheese, that is a word I can use on Scrabble board, right? Yes. It's gonna be worth like 42 points. Yeah, I'm Anna deavere. I'm Marlo Anderson.

Randi Weingarten is who you just heard from the American Federation of Teachers. And they are back pedaling like crazy on critical race theory they're claiming. No, no, no, no. It's only taught, you know, in the military and in the colleges and law schools and advanced education. We're not teaching that. In the elementary school. But by and by the way, it's very important. It's very important and we need to discuss racial inequities in this country. I could not agree more. We should teach American history. The good the bad and the ugly, But the problem is they're turning this around on the right like we only want to teach the good not true. Not true. I took a tour of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and the guide was incredible. He spoke about all the great things that Thomas Jefferson did, and there were many. And he discussed the shortcomings of Jefferson as a person. The hypocrisy of him owning owning slaves. Sally Hemings being one of them. That does not make Thomas Jefferson evil. That does not require that Thomas Jefferson be cancelled. What have you done in your life? You leftist Ivory Tower, condescending jerk. Compare your life's accomplishments on a ledger. You can even use Excel. To those of Thomas Jefferson and try not to laugh at yourself. Get over yourself. Canceling Thomas Jefferson. No, We don't want to teach just the good but we also don't want to teach just the bad and the ugly. Like this is an evil country founded an evil principles of white supremacists. Um No, The idea of America was perfect and will illustrate that more in our second hour. When I go over the documentary that I just watched about Clarence Thomas And how he referred to his process. With the Senate Judiciary Committee. As a high tech lynching. You want racism? Want to see how this cuts both ways. Lawrence Thomas lends his voice to that project, and it is truly incredible before we go to break very quickly. I want to follow up on the Sean Penn business, and he's not a podcast with Conan O'Brien. They started talking about Cancel culture. Conan called it very Soviet. And to my surprise, Sean Penn agreed, said it was ludicrous. Sean Penn brought up Alexey McAmmond, former editor in chief of teen Vogue, who was fired Only a few weeks. On the job for anti Asian comments she tweeted as a teenager. 10 says. Quote when we're destroying careers like that. What are we really achieving? What are we doing? Then continues. Now he played Harvey Milk, the gay activist who was assassinated in California. Prominent figure of the 19 seventies. Very good friend of Dianne Feinstein. Penn says this, he said today. Almost certainly I would not be permitted to be cast in that role. We're living in a time. When if you're playing a gay lead character, you'd have to be a gay man or trans character. There have been these casting issues. And this is the big rod. The line of the entire article as follows. When you have a period of evolution that certainly has an opportunity for people who have had less opportunities to move forward that has to be supported. In other words, our progress to this point While not perfect, and not complete, needs to be acknowledged. Where a whole hell of a lot further along in 2021, Then we were in, say, 1971 pen continues. And yet in this pendulum swing society that we're in you wonder if at some point if only Danish princess can play Hamlet. It is. I believe too restrictive.

"Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at ST Thomas Jefferson University. Now, what does that all mean? He's studying the effects of space travel on the human body. Versus staying on Earth. Good morning, Doctor Dicker. How are you? Good morning, and thank you. Now. This is interesting because it's more and more space travel. There's more and more civilians wanted this space travel whether it's up in me Space center. Or or reviving around the earth, or maybe going back to the moon. Or maybe going to Mars. Tell us about the effect on the bodies of spending a lot of time up there, Certainly New York So, so, thank you, And I appreciate the opportunity that you bring to your listeners understand a lot of similarities. Between what happens to the astronauts either on a space station are these longer missions he described and what are the kind of a civilian similarity or situations so the astronauts when they spent time particularly in the space station? They lose muscle mass. They lose bone mass. They actually get shorter. They they come down with certain infections, particularly viral infections because their immune system is messed up. It's suppressed. It's depressed, very similar to cancer patients who are undergoing therapy for particular cancers. And that was our interests Can we use Our experience and our knowledge about how we study the immune system help cancer patients to also help these astronauts are going to be spending more and more time. On commercial flights, private flights longer missions that you described. Why is that necessarily Have you ascertained? You know somebody spends two years up in the space station is say, is this artificial some some artificial gravity and But what affects is that have done the immune system. What do you think so The immune system is made up of literally hundreds of components, and that's why it's been difficult. Best far to really study it. So when you start dissecting now, you know, particular immune cells and signaling molecules and the immune system. You know, we see that there are differences. With these astronauts and we see that, um we can start to explain why they're they're coming down. You know, with these infections, etcetera. You know, the goal is not only to help the astronauts, but the goal is if we understand what's happening. During spaceflight. Uh, we can then also help our cancer patients and try to improve their immune systems so they can fight their cancer. So it you know, it goes both ways in terms of Where this information can take us. On the astronauts has spent a lot of time up in the space station other than losing body Mass and muscle mass. And have you seen significant changes in In their health. Yeah, so it um, you know, they used to think that Oh, they just need to exercise more. So then they had them exercise in the space station. But It hasn't been enough. So I think, you know, we know that they're sleep schedules get messed up. You know they're rotating the earth's every 14 minutes or something. Um, we know there's a huge amount of stress. I mean, these astronauts are working literally 18 to 20 hour days, packing in all sorts of different experiments for companies for NASA for Variety of academic groups. So it's incredibly stressful and you're sleep deprived and you're in microgravity when you throw that all together. And actually, it doesn't lead to, um to one of fit and rested astronaut when they come back, and the goal is really, you know, Can we improve things through You know, nutritional approaches. Are there ways to improve their their their These bugs that live in their guts and the microbiome in all of our guts. Which play a role. Um are there antioxidants, probiotics? All sorts of, you know, what can we do to improve their health and in turn, you know Will that give us some insight into improve the health of our focus on cancer patients in my daily life, But you know other patients who who also have, uh, changes in their immune system. That effect, you know? Heart disease, Uh, neurologic disease, et cetera. One of the other big items that I've talked to, uh, doctors about is the effect of extra radiation. We're here down on earth and were protected by our atmosphere. In the space station. There's less protection. How much of an effect is the Excess radiation have on the space station. Yeah, That's a great question. I think it depends on what type of mission so this in the international space station is considered sub orbital. And they're the radiation doses are on the low side. But there is they still exist. When you start going to the moon, the radiation doses get certainly larger. When you start going to Mars, they get much, much larger, so Um, you know what could be, How can it be compared so I think folks who live you know, in Denver a mile high, You know, they get more cosmic radiations and those of us who live in Philadelphia and New Jersey people who do a lot of airplane travel pilots. Fly long route. You know, from the Middle East Los Angeles? I mean, they're getting a fair bit of of kind of low dose radiation actually, somewhat similar to that of the of the space station. So you know, we don't really know that the effect of this low dose stuff but at the higher doses, Yeah, you can start seeing some changes that At a molecular level. So you say your molecular level. How does it affect the genes? Yeah, that's that's a That's $100 million question. You ask. So the answer is So all these jeans you know the blueprint for the body, you know, makes proteins. Proteins are the The actual building blocks of, you know, you know, blue eyes and you know, brown hair and muscles and and neurons, etcetera. So so this radiation has some impact on the genes, whether it has an impact on the proteins that those genes code for. We don't know. And that's why our focus is more on the proteins, then on the jeans, but you know there is some effect and as you increase the dose of radiation You see more of an effect on on jeans, you can look at people who have gotten larger doses of radiation. Either after nuclear accidents or some forms of radiation therapy, and you see, you can see changes in the chromosomes. That's a very kind of macro. You know, kind of a global view. But, um, But you asked a very nuanced and subtle question, and there is some changes, but whether they How meaningful they are that I don't think we know yet. Have we developed.

But I don't know where they left their brain because things are absolutely crazy yet again in San Francisco, and the latest generation of this is services goes now moving ahead with its school renaming plan. They've decided to strip 44 different schools. Of the leaders for whom they are named. And to rename them and they did it through a syriza of quote, casual Google searches to figure out why each of these people is the center. When I say each of these people I'm including people like George Washington. Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Jefferson. Dianne Feinstein. Yes, you heard me. Right? Dianne Feinstein is included in this. Yes, she is. Paul Revere to politically incorrect Eldorado to politically incorrect and it goes on and on and on. Um, this is while this was a 6 to 1 vote last week, the board that can resist a school board gave preliminary approval to renaming. All of these schools in the area, and when I say they did a casual Google search, they really just didn't do much research at all. They just decided if it sounds old, we should probably change it. They probably did something bad. The way we know that is because the services of school board did its research inside of a publicly available Google document. All of the notations are kept in the debate. Like I know how they were debating. There's a bunch of things in the notes tab to show how these San Francisco school officials were debating whether or not to remove people from history. Beverly and our buddy Alex Griswald read through all of these put together, it's some of these Just absolutely nuts. One of them is well like, for instance, Paul Revere the reason they want to get rid of Paul Revere's because he led the Penobscot expedition, which this is what they're claiming, which led to the colonnade colonization of the Penobscot. But the reaction is no that that's not true at all. The Penobscot expedition was actually fought against the British in Penobscot Bay. And the natives weren't even involved. Like what? We're removing Paul Revere. The British is coming. God are coming, guy. We're going to remove his name. When they're fighting the Brits. This had nothing to do. With Native Americans or anything yet, here we are. I mean, this is just one of many examples.

Historians are history books but instead relied on as a news outlet. Their mission, local reported quote shakily sourced Wikipedia entries and has really Google Casual Google searches, and that was their information to rename the schools. This doesn't give you much hope for the Children in the Bay Area to be educated properly when the members of the school board think that Google is the answer. For education for information on this yet here's what they found. For instance, remember, I mentioned Diane Feinstein. Let's figure out why she's his dinner and why she needs to be removed from history entirely. They say Manila town She's responsible for the eviction of an entire Filipino neighborhood. Ah, whole Filipino neighborhood and the police brutality. She allowed police dogs to attack Filipino veteran elders and she repeatedly protected and flew the Confederate flag in front of San Francisco City Hall. Now. What actually occurred. Well, it turns out that this these Filipino residents of the International hotel were evicted on August 4th 1977 Dianne Feinstein was mayor starting in November of 1978. The evictions happened a year before she was mayor of San Francisco. She was not even involved. And they're like off with her head off with her head. And this is this is one of those examples where the revolution comes for its own. This is the party. This is Yeah, She's she's a hardened Democrat. He's one of them, and they're trying to destroy her. She wasn't even She wasn't even mayor at the during The incident in question where her biggest problem is, is that she hugs Lindsey Graham, Senator Lindsey Graham, and tell him he did a good job on handling a committee and what she did that it was there was all over off with her head for removing her name from everything, and I'm so thankful for this reporter who did look into this because There is the growing trend across the country to change the names of schools and this is happening all while kids aren't even in school, and I can't you can't focus on cove it and trying to get kids back in the classroom and said they're focusing on this racial, racial issues. Social justice issue renaming schools and I just don't have a clear direction from progressives on whether or not Abraham Lincoln is good or bad because we heard him praised at the inauguration. Remember Barack Obama's Campaign when he ran for president was about Lincoln total. Now we're hearing that Lincoln is bad. We were where our progress is on Lincoln. Do they know? Well, here's the thing I like. For instance, in Sara's just go. They want to get rid of Lincoln to as I mentioned on now, with Lincoln, another crazy one. They're accusing him of being responsible for the largest mass hanging. In U. S history. They say that he killed off 38 Dakota Indians in a mass hanging. Now. This happened in Minnesota. What happened? What happened here was not that Lincoln was responsible for the death of 38 Dakota Indians, but instead it was the Minnesota governor of the time. Was trying to execute 300 Dakota Indians, and the reason he wasn't able to is because Lincoln intervened and pardoned and saved 265. Dakota Indians from being subjected to mass hanging in Minnesota. He didn't he wasn't able to save all of them. And so it ended up with 38. Dakota Indians being hanged. This Lincoln didn't execute them. Lincoln saved Hundreds of Dakota incident Indians from being hanged. And they're trying to remove him on the basis of again. Somebody else's them. So question. Does this mean Wikipedia isn't always true? Is that what you're trying to tell me? Well, that's for sure that that's a big one. Not only is that not true, it's outright defamatory, the things that the stuff that is that passes for Historical fact on Wikipedia. Is far too often totally manipulated by his left wing zealots who just get into those pages and absolutely Deface them into is having nothing to do with history. And so this is what this is. We talked about or welling and all the time. This is what that is. This is like, literally reinventing history to satisfy your current political needs. What is the most important thing for the party? What is the most important thing for staying in.

"Today we're talking about westward expansion. Yes earnings comforting. Yes in the united states yes so in eighteen zero three president. Thomas jefferson bought the territory of louisiana from the french government. For fifteen million dollars. This was known as the louisiana purchase. That was a lot of money back then. It was a ton of money. I wonder what it translates to today. Do that just curious know sure. It's like billions of dollars. Yeah so that. Land stretched from the mississippi river to the rocky mountains and from canada to new orleans so that like mid section it doubled the previous size of the then young united states and as as soon as jefferson signed the treaty. He sent the explorers lewis and clark to find a route to the pacific ocean. Many other explorers made the journey as well and so began the expansion of the country to jefferson. Westward expansion was the key to the nation's health. Jefferson believed that a republic depended on an independent virtuous citizenry for survival and that independence. Virtue went hand in hand with landownership especially up small farms. He wrote quote those who labor. The earth are the chosen people have gone. Wow yeah it doesn't correlate to me but okay yeah right so you're virtuous visuals and land or work. Yeah ok you work. Land make something from it. Honest work i suppose. Yeah if you're thinking kind of thing you take away like what we know about him. I'm think stop thinking of him as a person and the right he wanted the country to expand. And i think he planted the seed for the pioneers. Till i look you know you can go right. Make something something for yourself. Yeah so in. But in order for jefferson's dream for the country to come to fruition expansion had to happen so he maybe the country the dream of the country came first. And then thought okay. I need to have more land <hes>. People to do <hes>. So while the westward expansion is one of the defining themes of the nineteenth century american history. This growth was certainly fraught with struggle and won't get into that way by almost about forty years later. Nearly seven million americans forty percent of the nation's population now lived in this area. Well they know that way from eight eighteen three from eighteen hundred eight forty k. So pretty quick. Wake seven million. That's pretty big. Most people left their homes in the east and followed lewis and clark across the country as promised they were searching for economic opportunity like jefferson. Many of these painters believed that they would find land to farm trusting that ownership would lead to freedom in nineteen eighty five. Sorry wow a lot in eighteen forty five. A journalist named john o'sullivan put a name to this idea. That helped pull the pioneers to the west. He said that it was americans. Manifest destiny to carry quote the great experiment of liberty to the edge of the continent. O'sullivan wrote that. The survival of american freedom dependent on it and it was their duty to quote again <hes>. Overspread and to possess the whole of the land which the providence has given us an quote the providence of meaning. I think the providence of light. What they were given like the land that was before them. It's here so is ours to take. Even though it wasn't i mean. Is that kinda what they get this kind of the way. I remember from <hes>. Es three class and talking about manifest destiny asked yeah so this became a widely held cultural beliefs which carried the following themes the special virtues of the american people in their institutions the mission of the us to redeem in remake the west in the image of the east and an ear irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty so was disappointed was so arranged of area. Right ideas are planted in their head. Like if you go out there you will make your money. you'll survive you'll be happy. Happiness is just. Yep exactly yeah you'll have your own lambs have all the freedom that you'll have yeah <hes>. So that term became controversial. You know throughout time. Meanwhile meanwhile while this kind of happening the question of whether slavery would carry onto to the west was at hand around this time. The missouri compromise was made which attempted to resolve the question of whether or not slavery would be allowed in the new western states <hes>. That the louisiana purchase sort of like you know was responsible for create <unk>. Them so this whether slavery would be in. These new states shadowed almost every conversation about the frontier. The compromise admitted missouri to the union as a slave state and may had to change main to a free state had they needed to have. They had to preserve the fragile balance in congress between us owning states in nonstop hunting state. Yes i say. I'm surprised that main was asleep. At i mean because she just think of the south. But i know. I'm know an i don't really know actually <unk> slave-owning or they like the changes such. Yeah just to keep that the same number okay. Half-and-half just have to say i know going. Forward as policy was made progressing through that it was always taken into account those southern states or the slave owning states. How making sure that they get what they want. It always had to be part of the conversation. Yeah it's crazy for another strong decade. A yeah i think even on that of course of an attorney but while they're formation was been the biggest conversation sure. Oh yes right. See that the okay. So the missouri compromise also stipulated that slavery would be prohibited north of the southern boundary of missouri. So the the thirty six degree latitude line okay <hes>. It couldn't be north. Slavery couldn't be north of that but missouri was north of that so i think like after missouri said that they were going to be a slave. Nobody else could that was it. Yeah grandfathered in so many. Many thought of sullivan's manifest destiny was a secret term for spreading slavery. Really yes who thought that the people that wanted slavery or did not want to read. You know the people in the north okay. They thought it was. They thought it was like a secret term for light taking it over there. Really conspiracy theory <hes>. Despite the many conflicts <hes>. Far more complicated detailed for wondering really what. Everybody's wondering about the food. Because that's what i talk about sure. That's what we're here for

"Back to business. Jack your up next. Welcome to the program. Hi, Steve. How you doing? I'm doing okay. Um, it looks like they're going to steal the two Standard seats in Georgia. And we had a point in American history. Where I believe That we got to rely on Thomas Jefferson Second Amendment Solution. And that means that Obama that Biden and gang Don't go to the White House. Riding in gang go to the graveyard. And let me out. Let me ask you a question, Jack. And you realistically, I mean, I hear a lot about this, and I'm just concerned is your anything anybody is Do you really believe Jack today in the environment we live in and in the world we live in, especially with Patriots conservatives, Republicans being more honorable. Towards you know, people property, etcetera. You know, they're nothing like Auntie. But nothing like black lives matter. Do you really think there would be some type of hot civil war? To take back the country. Is that a reality or is that just kind of puffing the chest pie in the sky from those that we hear out there? Well, I can see Squad in about 20 former policeman Intelligence people. Army officers, military officers who are willing to risk their lives 20 of them. And taking on Biden, Harris and the Black War criminal But you're a bad dad and second and willing to sacrifice their lives, But I don't care how many people are protecting them. 20 people with the right weapons can take them out and save American. We're at that point. We can't allow a Communist takeover a Chinese communist takeover the country. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Second Amendment but is very time in American history where we have to use The second Amendment. I don't have any guns, but I'm advocating the second Amendment. Well, you know what? I'll tell you this, Jack. I think most people agree with that. I appreciate I gotta move on and to give everybody a chance that I've been on hold for quite some time. On. I will tell you this, Jack is this um, you know, Jefferson warned us about tyranny. And I think when people read those writings and their historic so long ago, um, which really wasn't that long ago? If you really think about a 240 years ago. That's a hell of a long time ago, but it's not like it was. You know, thousands of years ago. It's not like it was biblical times. Um, I think you know people get lost in translation and and they don't understand the power of what Jefferson was speaking about. And some will argue and say, Well, Jefferson didn't mean that. Then what did he mean? I mean, come on now. I mean that That amendment is there for a reason. I don't think anybody wants to have to exercise that. Who would But, you know, look, I have no problem losing fair and square. If if this was fair and square. I have no problem Losing. You know, you put your big boy pants on and you move forward to another day. But when there is fraud, obvious fraud, I have a problem with it. And 74 million people also have a problem and it's not just 74 people. It's 74 million people. And no one could tell me that 74 million people are all wrong. Right back to business. Selo your next welcome to the program. Nobody. What's up? Hey, um, you know, First of all, Steve, you've got a screen your calls. That was a wacko. That was on right now. That guy's being you know, it's funny. Someone said something about that about you yesterday. I told them that I told I told him the same thing. I said, Hey, man, you know that.

So it's like, you know, I give everybody an opportunity, but Steve Sanchez unless it's coming out of my mouth, that's where you should really worry. But go ahead. Yeah, that's true. I've never heard you say crap like that, anyway. Okay? Don't think Hand is going to do what people the Republicans want him to do. I really don't think he's gonna want to do something like that. Because I really think he wants to. She wants to be president in 2024 ain't gonna help doing that. But you know what? There's a lot of like moderate looking I don't believe in that stupid.

"Dish called jambalaya. Oh, Congaree hungry, meaning black eyed peas. Thomas Jefferson planted the peace at Monticello. Like he played everything. I'm on the show. And, gosh, that is a question for a future ever. So when it comes to hopping John sometimes called Happy Jones specifically, And this is an American Southern dish of black eyed peas, rice, often pork or a ham bone and definitely seasoning, Although there are a lot of versions of it a lot a lot a lot if you are familiar Historians agree that its roots go back to West African dishes composed of rice and black eyed peas. Dishes similar to hopping John are made in parts of Africa. To this day, Records show. The dish was a staple among enslave people in the southern US, particularly in the goal. A country of South Carolina rice and black eyed peas were both cash crops in that area. Still others posit the dish might be Islamic in origin. Since Senegalese a Nigerian Muslims have a similar dish, stopping out the pork for jerked beef recipes for that just started appearing in early 20th century American cookbooks. Can we Let me think about it. Didn't we have some hoppin John and we were in Ash? Oh, yes. Yes, It was part of the very first meal that we had when we got up there at the Sierra Nevada brewery.

Because I was about to say Can't room last time I had it, But that was it. Yeah. Cool speculation of bounds about the origin of the name. One points to the old expression. Hoppin John used to invite guests over for a meal. Yet another describes the hilarious and probably not real tradition where Children would hop around the table once before digging into this dish. That sounds like a thing. I would I would have done it when I was a kid. If someone had told me this is lucky, do it. I would have been like this is an excuse to Greek some havoc in this kitchen.
