Good luck to all of you. Five bucks a month is all we ask. Now, let's like I say, I wanted to get through it quickly. We're only at like 40 seconds in, which with the music is like a minute in. Let's start the show.

We got a lot of things to talk about. There's a bunch going on in the world. There were a whole bunch of primaries yesterday and Michigan and Arizona and Kansas near that and the other thing. And I get all the emails and why don't you talk about this one and why didn't you mention that one and why don't you go it because frankly, I don't really care about the primary votes.

It's pretty simple. The rationale for it. It's not cynical, although I'm sure it's based in cynicism and maybe some of you won't believe it's not cynical because I am such a cynic, but I'm for the Republican.

I'm making, I'm for the Republican. That's it period. I don't care. They're going to be horrible Republicans. Yes, they're going to be horrible Republicans out there to be honest with you.

And I can hear the hate mail coming already, but I'm just going to say it. If Liz Cheney were to somehow win her primary, I would be in favor of Liz Cheney winning the election.

Not she will. It's Wyoming. Democrats don't really stand a chance. But that would be my, I don't think she's going to survive the primary. I would prefer she not survive the primary, but I don't live in Wyoming. And there are far more important things to do than fight over one house seat held by somebody I think has completely lost their mind.

So I don't focus on it. She'll probably lose if she doesn't, she'll be there. So what? You've got to deal with it. Parties for a long time had to deal with differences in opinion or differences of opinion amongst their members.

It's just how the world worked. Democrats have sort of pioneered the, we don't have any differences anymore mentality. And they really honestly have. They don't have any difference. What are, what is it that Democrats are, where do they differ? Where do they come up with these things? Where is it? Do you know? No, you don't know. It's a difference of opinion. You don't have it.

An abortion there is across the board uniformity. And nobody questions it. Nobody says, wait a second. There used to be something called blue dog Democrats.

Blue dog Democrats believe it or not settle down kids. I'll tell you a story. Blue dog Democrats used to be Democrats who were concerned about federal spending.

They were concerned about fiscal issues. They were concerned about out of control government spending. Prospect that that would lead to a downturn in the economy commonly referred to as inflation.

They really did exist. And there was a fairly large sizeable group dozens and dozens, maybe as many as a score of them. Score is a dozen doesn't I believe.

But they've been pushed out of office. Now, how have they been pushed out of office? It's pretty simple. A lot of these blue dog Democrats were from Democrat controlled states.

But conservative ish pockets in Democrat controlled states like California, for example, California's congressional delegation used to not be almost completely Democrats.

Democrats is a breakdown mostly more Democrats than Republicans over since the 90s, but it wasn't 90 to one.

Well, as Democrats solidified their power, something that they pretend they don't do that he pretends to care about in the lie and say, all this is horrible. They only care about it when Republicans do it.

Through gerrymandering, Democrats have gotten rid of not only Republican districts through creating a map that looks like somebody sneezed on a wet Rorschach test to make sure that Republicans can't win anywhere.

They created solidly blue radical left wing districts where Republican is not even going to be safe walking down the street.

So what happens there? You get these frankly, AOC types who are, you know, AOC's district used to be, I think the guy's name was Joe Cunningham.
