It doesn't matter if it's the government or if it's Elon Musk. If they own all of it, we are screwed.

Yeah. When you put capitalism first, like I just heard that the Dumonti company is going under because they can't get their cans at the right price because of the tariffs on aluminum.

Aluminum. So they're closing their peach farm,

but they're just going to burn all the trees to the ground.

Oh.

Acres and acres,

because it's not making money anymore,

so they're just going to,

and I was like,

are we the stupidest species in the entire world?

We are.

We really are.

I don't know. in the entire world. We are. We really are. Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.

So I know I had this guest on just a few weeks ago, but I had such a weird weekend after

kind of a weird week that I just wanted to share it with someone and get their insight. And if I'm being honest, Joanna is one of my favorite, educated, unfiltered people to get insight from. So today I'm having Joanna Johnson back on the show to talk about the past week of the news, my time on CNN discussing the past week of the news and the fallout from one of those appearances.

Honestly, I think it should be a really funny... to talk about the past week of the news, my time on CNN discussing the past week of the news,

and the fallout from one of those appearances. Honestly, I think it should be a really fun episode, and I'm not someone that has that much fun anymore, so I'm really looking forward to it. If you don't know Joanna Johnson, she is known online as Unlearned 16. She's a content creator, an author, and a teacher from Toronto who, like me, is interested in keeping our critical thinking skills fresh.

So without further ado, please welcome my guest, teacher and social media phenom, Joanna Johnson.

Welcome back, Joanna. You're such a doll to join me. Phenom. Well, last time I said you were a superstar and you were like, too much.

Now, listen, I know it's a bit ridiculous to have you back on the show so soon, but there's so many things I wanted to talk about. We should just run this as a as a as a show. Yeah. This should be the show. This should be the show. This should be the show. But literally, sometimes I feel like I'm just talking to myself or I'm talking at my audience and I don't want them to feel like that. I want them to get different perspectives. I want to talk through a bunch of things that happened last week and what I did on television last week that I just felt like, am I losing my mind here? And I wanted someone else here to bounce those ideas off of. I didn't want to just make a monologue to give to my audience. I wanted to have a conversation. And you're one of my favorite people to have a conversation with. Well, thank you. You as well. Listen, you're a teacher. What are you guys talking about about what's going on down here right now? How are you guys looking at what's happening south of the border? Because none of this stuff exists in a bubble. If America set something on fire, the rest of the world can get burned.

It's interesting because I have a lot of kids graduating.

I have international students.
