Once in a while, I will comment to this, which is that but for that piece of paper at the National Archives that has a bunch of signatures on it describing our rights endowed by our creator that are limits on what government can do if at a certain point, and I don't know where that threshold is, but if we ever lose the respect for that, then we don't have a country. Many people would say, you don't really, if you don't have a border, you don't have a country. I mean, if you become indistinguishable from Mexico. If we were to just get rid of the border and let it just be a free for all, you've kind of surrendered the country, because where do you decide what are laws in Mexico? What are laws here? And do they matter? Which laws do you pick? Because the Constitution would be a relevant decoration of independence would be a historical document. You just don't have a country if you don't have a border. But take it a step further and say, if we really lose respect for that document, if we lose respect for the US Constitution and it just doesn't matter anymore, then you don't have a country either. So why every country ultimately has just about every country on the planet has failed over time. This is an experiment. Is this is a kind of a renewal if you would every July fourth, we kind of renew our lease on the country being a free home of the brave. All that we kind of renew that lease for another year. And we're reaching we're starting. As of Saturday, we've started our two hundred and fiftieth year, which is a good long run. Now, most people, as Franklin's aid, are a republic if you can keep it. We're trying to hold on. But we have one party right now. And again I'm not going to castigate the Democrats. I think the Democrats are authoring their own demise. It's not me doing it. It's that we have one party where two thirds of the people in that party are not proud to be Americans, not even a majority of them, two thirds are not. And that's problematic because you have to wonder if I were interviewing them, I would say, what is it that you would be proud of in America? That if we had everybody dependent on the federal government, if you could confiscate all of the wealth created by wealthier people or entrepreneurs, I don't know, confiscate their wealth, would you be happier if you just tore the border down? What would you be happier? If I don't know, we had boots on the ground in Ukraine, or we didn't support Israel. I mean, what would make you think that this is a great country? Maybe if you diversity, equity, inclusion across the board, if you let more men compete in women's sports. I don't know. I would love to know what it is I get not liking Trump. I understand when I hate Trump or where they get triggered by him. He speaks and his speech pattern drives him up a wall. But even sometimes when he does things that you agree with. You should agree with him. Oh, I just hate him because he's Trump. Okay, what are you know? You would think there would be some common ground. You would think that Democrats would go, you know what kind of dig in what they did? And I ran right now. I actually had a few of my Democrats but grudgingly admit even Fetterman said, hey, well done. You know, even Ram Emmanuel from Chicago, you know, the guy who wants to be president next for the Democrats, He's like, hey, give him credit where credits due. I disagree with his policies, but hey, that Iranian tactical strike. No American lives lost, no Americans on the ground there. Well done. But generly speaking, the party right now on the left doesn't have a leader. It's very listless. They're fighting amongst themselves because they don't want AOC to be their leader. They don't want Jasmine Crockett. There are a lot of people to say those are the new leaders. Know they're not. You know, you've got Rob Emmanuel and Gavin Newsom kind of duking it out. Josh Shapiro, the three white guys on the Democrat left trying to be the next the next guy, so to speak, guy boy, I used that term. What maybe they don't consider them men. I don't know the Democrats in the whole who's the guy, who's a girl? I don't think they've decided that they can't seem to define it, So good luck. But you know they can't go with Kamala again. That would be a nightmare. You know, we would have to have a buffet of word salad. We just have to open it up, the Kamala word salad buffet. It would be hilarious, put it on billboards. But the Democrats find themselves in a in a valley of just being the anti Trump party rather than being a party that cares about the issues. What issue I mean, if you were to and not you define the entire party. But it sounds so Unamerican to say, well, they're against the border. I mean, they're against having a tough border. I don't know, so I search for this. So I'm looking. There's a really a really good piece over at USA today. Now I consider the peace left leaning, and I will talk about that. And it said, is America is ready to celebrate its two hundred and fiftieth birthday, But are Americans ready. There's my bias right here's right there in the headline. But is America, well, are Americans ready for this? We who call the US home are preparing to celebrate the country's star spangled semi quins semi quin centennial next year. Get used to that word, because that's what it is, but not just with flags and fireworks, but with also with serious conversations about history and what it means to be an American. Among the celebrations a massive fireworks display at Mount Rushmore on July third of next year and what organizers hope will be the largest flag waving celebration in history, and Trump only third announced he's also planning to host an Ultimate Fighting Championship at the White House. By the way, I don't know how they do that, are where, because that'd be tens of thousands people want to go. Trump formally kicked off the year long celebration on July third with a rally at the Iowa State Fairground Fairgrounds. He campaigned on an America First platform, and he's long invoked symbols of patriotism during his rallies, including having Lee Greenwood, seeing his God bless the USA, and literally embracing old Glory. The fourth of July. Our magnificent destiny is closer than ever before. We are one people, one family, in one United American nation, he said to cheers. We will five five fight you remember that one. We will win, win, win, because we are Americans in our hearts bleed, red, white and blue. That's very Trumpian, by the way. Trump also reaffirmed his plans to hold a Great American State Fair with exhibits from all fifty states that will begin in Iowa along with other national stations. And while there will be parties parades of plenty for the nation's two fiftieth anniversary, some scholars we must go to. The scholars are urging Americans to spend time thinking deeply. Why I'm a scholar. I need to think deeply. You need to think more deeply about what the country's passed in the future, would be, it has been, will be. The anniversary comes at a time of deep partisan divisions, because we've never had those before, particularly about the role of immigrants in this nation. Trump directly addressed the divide facing the nation during his Iowa appearance, criticizing Democrats, who he says hate America and offering the same sentiment. In return. Trump made the comments in connection with the final passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, which implements tax and medicaid cuts while dramatically expanding immigration enforcement unanimously opposed by Democrats. Polls show, and this is where in fact, I'm gonna try to get so. Polls show that Americans are less patriotic today than ever before recorded. Now, these are polls, and I'm not saying you shouldn't believe them. I think there are different times, and I don't know that we really have really good polling like pre nineteen sixty five about how we felt about it our country. But nonetheless, a new Gallup poll found fifty eight percent of US adults say they're either extremely or very proud to be an American, a record low compared to almost total unity after we were attacked twenty four years ago in nine to eleven. Strikingly, the poll found that younger Americans were far less likely to be patriotic. You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, to understand experiences. Stories connect us to the people of our past while transcending generations. They help us process the meaning of life, and our stories are told through images and videos.

So we were talking about that next year is going to be our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and how do we Americans see ourselves moving forward. So Gallup is the poll that you're seeing everyone talk about or tweet about, or social media itself infinite twisting. A new Gallup poll found that fifty eight percent of US adults say they are either extremely or very proud to be an American, a record low compared to almost total unity after the nine eleven attacks. I think that that's a little bit of an unfair comparison, because you're right, we were attacked. If we were attacked today, god forbid, I hope we are not, it would do It would have the same unifying effect that disasters and attacks like that Pearl Harbord nine to eleven, or a horrific disaster tends to unite Americans. I was looking at WOS a few breaks back in this radio broadcast out of Ashville, and they were showing, you know, people in Ashville, the people who have been ravaged by Helene last year, that are putting together palettes and trucks full of supplies to send a Carville, Texas. That's I mean, it almost brings a tierny. Rather, some of the people that were most impacted by a natural disaster that are still recovering are putting together supplies for Texas that's going through horrible flooding. And I said this earlier in the broadcast. We are the most generous nation. Our citizens weak care, we reach out, we extend that hand to help our fellow Americans. We do. That's just the way we're wired. It's part of the fabric of who we are. At a genetic level. I would say, we're that way, and that's a great thing. That's a that's a beautiful thing to see. So when when Poles say that we're we're not happy about if you're not proud to be an American something, I mean you could be proud, not be proud of you know, this is more of a reflection of politics than it is America. I think. I think the poll doesn't make that distinction. You're proud to be American. Oh I hate Trump right now? I don't know. And that's that's very short sighted. If you if you don't like the country because of us in office, something's really really wrong with you. Even through the Obama years, I love this country, even to the Clinton years, I love this country. It would take something, you know, devastating for me to you know, if it just decided to go bankrupt and default on its debts and open the borders, and there's a couple of things that once we're no longer this country, I wouldn't like it, obviously. But fifty eight percent of adults say they're either extremely very proud to be an American, a record low. Strikingly, the poll found that younger Americans far less likely to be patriotic. Only forty one percent of Gen Z is extremely very proud of be an American compared to seventy five percent of baby boomers. Now, think about that from a tech standpoint, if you're twenty four years of age or younger, you were born after nine to eleven. Nine to eleven is a figment. I mean, it's just it's something you see and read about that other people experienced. They've had no there's been no real challenges to and their knowledge is all tech based. It's tech based, web based stuff. It's Snapchat and one thousand other you know, TikTok videos and everything else. It's not why would they have a basis in what means to be an American other than what they got in school and from their friends and their TikTok buddies. I'm not putting them down, but were they raised to have a love of the country. Did schools of K twelve schools in the past twenty years, I mean through COVID. Think about what they experienced. They didn't get to have high school graduations, you know, their sports careers, were into the government telling them what to do. Turns out the government was wrong about a lot of stuff. The trust in the Trust a world health organization, their trusting government, and an all time low. Why would they be proud to be an American? You said it was about freedom, pal, we didn't have a whole lot of freedom. He kind of took that away from us and said it was in the name of public health. But so that that makes sense, doesn't it a little bit about the way they've been treated and how they've been educated. You take it a step further, you go to Democrats. The poll also found that Democrats are the source of the drop across all ages. Thirty six percent are either I extremely or very proud. They were at sixty two percent last year, but I mean that's right before the fall from Biden not knowing what he said. Independence also showed a loss fall into a record low fifty three percent, still a majority, but the only group that only a third of them are remotely proud to be Americans are Democrats, So two third of Americans are not proud, and so I would think that would be a golden opportunity to ask what would make you proud to be an American? What would make a Democrat? Since two thirds of them are not proud at all, what would make them proud? Giving away more money spending? I don't know. I don't know what the magic getting rid of Trump? If Trump got shot maybe, I don't know. It's a very strange thing to me that you would say, well, just because I don't like the guy there, I hate the country. Ninety two percent of Republicans say there are proud or extremely proud. So Republican solid love the country. Patriotism is now polarized. No, it's not patriotism is patriotism? I love this stuff to some degree. It depends on whoever is the president, and that hasn't always been the case, said John Pitney Junior, a conservative author, former RNC staffer, and a government professor. A government professor at California clairemart McKenna College. People in the other party are just just mistaken, but are not just mistaken but their enemies. But Pitney said, the real American patriotism is alive and well. Everyone who volunteers to serve in the military, local fire department, who helps out a food bank, ties to the local church, help making good on them promise of America, the promise of America. Again, I talked about that WLS. When we reach out that hand to help our fellow Americans, that is the greatest show of patriotism. That is that makes all the efforts for those who committed their lives to this country or died defending it. It makes it worth it when we are trying to save, help assist, make better the lives of our fellow Americans. When we value the lives of our fellow Americans, even when we reach out to other countries, that Judeo Christian ethic that does weave its way through the fabric of this great nation is made better when we lift up others. It's not about what we get, It's about what we give. Even Kennedy knows that not what your country can do for you, what well you can do for your country's right. Parades are great and celebrations are terrific, but that's not really what patriotism is all about. It's certainly possible to take a criticism of the country too far. The trouble with Trump's plans is that they sound awfully superficial. His patriotism doesn't run any deeper than the cloth of the flag, which is what this John Pitney individual, and of course USA today uses that individual because they can use a Republican to attack a Republican. In conjunction with the anniversary, Trump has ordered the creation of a thirty four million dollar National Guarden of American Heroes, featuring life size statues of notable figures like John Adams, Clara Barton, Orville Wilbur Wright, Martin Luther King Junior, Christa mccauliffe, Reagan. People like that only American citizens are eligible to create the statues. Again, why is that a bad thing? America owes its present greatness to its past sacrifices because the past is always a risk of being forgotten. I think anyone who says Trump's love the country is superficial or shallow, he hasn't. He is always If you saw interviews with him back in the eighties that Rona Barrett did, or interviews he's been consistently this way, whether you love him or hat him, He's been consistently the same way through out his adult life and into being president. So anyone who says is superficial, it's never been superficial. It just hasn't. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you can reconnect with your loved ones and the things that truly matter.

Cabins of Ashville has the ideal spot for you for any occasion, and they have pet friendly accommodations. Call her text eight two eight, three six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there is to offer at Cabins of Aashville dot com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. The Texas situation is going to continue to unfold. I do want to get to a couple of things that may be more fun, but I also want to mention that it's it's going through social media like wildfire. Right now that that Pambondy and Cash Btel have essentially said there's nothing, there's nothing to see here with respect to the Epstein situation. Now, Pambondy, the Attorney General for the United States, on multiple occasions has said she's releasing the client list as on multiple occasions said there's there's there, there there's fire. There's not just smoke, there's fire. She finds herself in the precarious crosshairs of the political right right now. A lot of the bays that Trump loyal are very upset with the situation because if you tell someone there's fire and then you say, oh, there's really nothing to see here, it's going to cause a great deal of consternation. So I don't know how far reaching that's going to be, but just something to keep an eye on. Over the next twenty four hours. Tomorrow we will probably have a lot more information about that. But the Pam Bondi cash battel and to a lesser extent, Dan Bongino, who's the deputy director of the FBI under Cash pattel, it's going to be interesting because a lot of people are very upset because the same people that said there's something to see here, instead they were going to release everything. We're now in July and they're trying to say nothing really to see here. So if it was a conspiracy, then what happened to it? And if it's not a conspiracy logging in and saying it was for the past three or four years, and then you're the person that was in charge of dissuading that, I don't know how they navigate those waters. I guess they need to release more information to validate what they're telling the American public. But you can't lead them down a path of saying there's there there and then just out of the blues say well, there's really nothing there. There's nothing there to see, there's nothing nothing to see. So I think that's not going to that's not going to go away. So we will see what happens now, So the textas situation, we'll have a lot more information there. I do want to get back to the article before I go to a couple of science related stories. But the article about is America kind of ready for his two hundred and fiftieth is are we worse off? I'd say in many ways we're better off than we were. We made it through COVID. There's a lot to be optimistic about in this country. Do we have problems? Absolutely? Have we eradicated all of them? Not even close? Are we going to continue to face new challenge that we haven't seen before? I mean, right now, the situation with your kids and technology, the role of technology and how addictive it is, your infinite ability to go get entertained, These are all challenged. I think another challenge is Americans to believe that they're all of a sudden subject matter experts across the board on everything we're not I I'm not going to pretend to be like discussions, I think, but we start to in social media and in tech we begin to put forth things as if we're writing. When people disagree with we get angry, and then that anger turns to violence, and then you get this righteous indignation across the board. One of the people in the article name is Tamika Middleton. She's forty one years old. She's the leader of the March, the March for Women, kind of the Women's March. You know, they're looking at how they're going to deal with this, and I think her comments are getting to the heart of a lot of what we've talked about on the show today, and it is that if you lean left, you tend to believe that all of these problems can be left at the feet of government, and that some agency they have a responsibility because America's job is to take care of all these things. God not you as an individual or you and your community. Are you working with a bunch of volunteers or starting a new business or creating a new enterprise that somehow government should create a program and it deals with that. It makes it all better. And this particular person, her names Amika Middleton. She's with Women's March, and she I think summarizes best what many on the left say on a regular basis. She sees freedom. It's kind of interesting. She organized the Free America counter protests against Trump, the Women's March against Trump. They had it called free America. Free it from what. We're not in bondage anymore. We are not. We're in a really a post racial society, except for those who make money from making you believe we're not. We're much better. So she said these things. She said, what good is life, liberty and pursuit of happiness without healthcare? Now I want you to think about that statement for a second. What good is life, liberty and pursuit of happiness without healthcare? That statement is really a call for government to run cradle to grave healthcare. That's not what life, liberty and pursuit of happiness was ever intended to be, not what it should be. Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is a list of responsibilities that you have. You have the ability to pursue your life, your liberty, and your pursuit of happiness. That doesn't mean it's government's job to make it for you. She alsa said, what good is life in liberty and the pursuit of happiness without housing? Again, her call is for government to create the housing for all, cradle to grave housing. That is not what life. You have the right in life to pursue this. The best of your ability is working with other people to pursue that life, to pursue liberty, to pursue happiness. You have a right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. It is not the government's job to give you health care. It's not the government's job to give you housing. Now, if a community wants to get to get together and help folks out, that's what really we should be doing. But we've turned it all over to government. We've made ourselves very callous toward the needs of our fellow Americans. Nobody's free. Tell everybody's free. What do you mean people are free? What are you talking about? I would love for people to be thinking about how to bring all of that to fruition to make sure we're all free. What does it require every day, the kind of depth, to kind of accountability, to kind of unity, unity unity's code word for socialism, and when we're socialists, the only people that have power the people in government. It never works. It never has work. Now, the number of people that have executed socialism successfully, you know, they can fit on the head of a pen because it's never happened. All right, If you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, And you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and it's a website and it combines news from around the world in one place so you can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground, dot news slash Pete. I put the link in the podcast description too. I started using ground News a few months ago and more recently chose to work with them as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the left and the right. See for yourself. Check dot ground, dot news slash Pete subscribe through that link and you'll get fifteen percent off any subscription. I use the Vantage plan to get unlimited access to every feature your subscription. Then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent. If you want to look of your fellow Americans, those most likely to contribute a conservative more than liberal out of the pocket. And that makes sense. If you lean left and you believe government is the answer to things, then you believe the government should give more money, not you. But if you are more conservative, you want less government in your life, so you tend to be more charitable on your own. Now, if you were to break that into a sub section and look at which group is the most likely in American culture, it's Christians, and more specifically, church going Christians are much more likely to donate the charity than non Christians. That's not an indictment, that's just you can do your own research. It's out there. I feel very comfortable that's been the case for many years. It's not new, it's not novel, and I didn't make it up. I didn't create it. It's the reality of where we find ourselves. Also, one little thing to mention because as people begin predicting doom and gloom with this big, beautiful villain, it's going to unwind undo destroy the country. It's a very static way because it's the pretense that we as humans don't change. It's the pretense that we act. You know, if you knew a tidle way was coming, or tsunami for lack of it's not title, it's earthquake true anyway, if you knew and you just stayed there. So if a tsunami hit the East coast, millions of people would die. Yes, the death rate would be a lot lower if they had a chance to evacuate because we would dynamically react to that. So, in other words, if I were to increase taxes, I don't get all of the money that I think I'm going to get because people will act differently. They will find a different way, or they will act differently or make less or whatever. There's a dynamic way in which we respond to things. Now. I say that because Argentina Argentina, Argentina's president Malay, when he assumed office, economists from all across the spectrum had warned that it would spill devastation for Argentina. Now he's a very libertarian, probably the most libertarian leader of a country anywhere in the world. More than one hundred economists, including Tom Piketty and Jahati Ghosh, published open letter ahead of the country's nineteen November election. Now Malay got elected. What's happened since Because the predictions were doomed bloom end of the world. They've lowered their monthly inflame rate from twenty six percent down to one point five percent. The economy grew seven point six percent in the second quarter of this year year over year, So that's remarkable. Those are great. Now, does that mean that everything's fixed magically and they don't have poverty and they eradicated all their social problems. No, But it means that the opportunity to get ahead, the opportunity to make the country stronger, better, And you did it by because they were just spending themselves into oblivion. You had to stop it. So we did these austerity measures, these very painful changes. But the country has reacted and it's lifted the country. And that's I believe what we're going to see here. We have to make some difficult choices. We're making those and that's where we find ourselves. Now, a little bit of good news out there. If I were to ask you, if I were to if you were to own a dog's completely switching gears here, own a dog or a cat? Would it you know? We know that we generally are happier people when we pet our dogs or cats. But it could it make your pain different as you age owning a dog or cat? Does that make your brain better as you get older? Now? They did a couple studies on these now, fish and bird ownership. You own a fish, you own a bird, there's no significant link to slower cognitive decline as you get older. But dogs and cats, as global population ages and dementsiuration ration rates climb, scientists may have found an unexpected ally. Cats and dogs may be exercising more than just your patients. They could be keeping parts of your brain ticking and a potential breakthrough for preventive health. Researchers have found that owning a four palled friend is linked to slower cognitive decline by potentially preserving specific brain functions as we grow older. Interestingly, the associations differ depending on the animal. Dog owners were found to retain sharper memory both immediate and delayed, while cat owners showed slower decline in verbal fluency. So if you want to keep that edge too, you can tell the way I stammered through that I must be a dog owner, right, I'm kidding, but that's true when it comes to slower cognitive decline in their owners. However, it seems that not all pets are created equal fishbirds, while charming showed no help to you whatsoever. So if you want to stave off some of that, some cognitive decline just happens. But if you have a dog or a cat, apparently much better for you. So as you look around at your little furry friends, you may think, now, remember, dog owners sharper memory both immediate and delayed, while cat owners showed slower decline in verbal fluency. So you have better memories, but you can talk about it better with a cat. If you have a cat in your life, I don't know what if you have a dog and a cat. I didn't see that in the studies. I'm looking through the details of the study. I'm thinking to myself, you know the longarity of cat owners. May that means I can talk like get into my nineties. I speak better, but you know, overall better with a dog, and again read it for yourself. It's just out there. Now. Another thing, the weird headline of the day. Now, if you are prone to believe that AI and tech is problematic for us as a society moving forward, if you believe that that whole terminator cyberdine AI stuff is dangerous, this one's gonna make you quick a little bit. So it's one thing to have unmanned drones and have self driving cars and all of this other stuff impacting you daily and your device is listening to you all the time. And they do. And that's a that's not a conspiracy. They do. Lab quest to create vible human sex cells in lab progressing lab grown sperm and eggs just a few years away. Scientists are just a few years from creating viable human cells in the lab, according to an internationally renowned pioneer in the field, who says the advance could open up biology defined possibilities for reproduction. In other words, when the machines take over, they might not need us. They could just make us. They could just make versions of us. According to this the professor Haksuhiko Hayashi Developmental Genesis at the University of Osaka said rapid progress is being made toward being able to transform adult skin or blood cells into eggs and sperm, a feat of genetic conjury known as in vitro gamut to genesis. His own lab is about seven years away from that, milest Milestoney predicts. Other front runners include a team of University of Kyoto and a California based startup conception bioscienceist. Now that's one thing to be able to do that. It's another entirely to just make just just make people beings, Just make it so if the machines take over that you need a few skin cells, it just harvests a couple of people, just make them, and all of a sudden we're serving the machines instead the other way around. It's very brave new world. Alvius Huxley, you know, kind of way of Stanley Kubrick. I guess I could throw a bunch of other things in there, Isaac Asimo, But folks have a fantastic day.
