How? important, as the Supreme Court's voting decision did an essay spy on Tucker Carlsson and will we ever know who won the York City may always will discuss all this and more on this addition, the editors Umbrage Larcom join enjoyed by the right arm, Chelsea Debbie Cook, in the truth, Moody Michael brand. Dorothy you listening to a natural you podcast ourselves there's. This episode are monk and banks and group more about them in due course. The felicitous park asked unnatural. You D comical when a corner were delighted to have. You would be easier for you, but for us, if you made as part of your feet at any the stream and service it out there from Spotify Itunes like what you here, please,

Instead of giving us a glowing five star review, I tunes, if you don't like what you hear here, please get. I said anything in a quick programming note after this podcast swear recording on Thursday, say: you'll learn. he'll be available for listening later today, so the posting Especial July. Fourth, I've, castor, recorded with the historians our girls ill and our colleague writ, Ro Keyser, a wonderful discussion of the American Revolution, and in all its aspects and perfect for your July Fourth: enjoyment with that: Charlie Big Supreme Court decisions today putting one on a voting law in Arizona where the court upheld the

these provisions or restrictions in Arizona what to make of it, while the court thus far term, has largely avoided the six three line, ups that we saw in both of these cases and has proven itself to be a thoughtful body that is primarily interested in law, You will now be told by parties ends and that it was all a mirage and that today's decision, show you where the priorities of the nine justices ready lie, but I think that is not right,

they certainly show fractures within the american polity and its approach to elementary constitutional principles and statutory interpretation. The decision in burn of it, the voting rights case was predictable. This is one of many decisions that have north by John Rabbits and supported by a majority on the court that have taken. In our view of section two of the Voting Rights ACT. As amended then say: Justice Kagan on the under the left, leaning for want of a better word side, would that this decision was was penned by Alito, not by

Roberts Roberts. To spend some of the others that there is a debate over the statutory limits. I have not yet got through the whole thing, because we're recording so soon after the decision came down. But it seems to fit perfectly into. The history have. The second case is F, p F, which brought a case against the state of California. State of California had passed a law. the required donors to charities to favour one c three groups to be disclosed and the plaintive, said that's unconstitutional. They cited a precedent. Naacp verses, Alabama and they were joined in doing so by a whole host of charities. It has been cast today

Sesar, some sort of campaign, finance decision, it wasn't spin cast as some sort of victory for right, wingers or the rich that isn't really true. If you look through the plaintiffs case, the Americans for Profit as a foundation, which is a right, leaning on libertarian leaning group was joined by. I see how you, by Peter I then a c p by the Human Rights Council coalition agency, and I believe by this, than poverty low centre. As well as a lot of more local charities. Certainly don't engaging right wing cause, is some of them feet the homeless or deal with relocation for people who are poor.

So this one was also not surprised, given that the sole of judges you are likely to see be recommended by the federalists. Society have a particular conception of the first amendment and the sort of judges you are likely to see opposed by the federalists. Society have the opposite conception, but, but neither case today really falls down what you would regard as a neat part. His am line these disagreements over. Statutory and constitutional interpretation, even if you are looking at the six three line up in both cases, that would have been for me.

Anyone who followed last year's confirmation process, Fair, Amy, Colbert, so sticking with the diverting case, Michael these. These restrictions that are being betrayed as disproportionately affecting minorities in what should be a violation of the Voting Rights ACT at the court had an already alleged. This raided the Voting Rights ACT, its aren't unreasonable rather to say, can there seek? gauging ballot harvesting and There is obviously a public interest in that provision. You might think excessive and not strictly necessary Certainly, a rationale for it not have third parties handling a balance which presents all sources of concerned privacy. purity and other things, and then saying that you that votes that when voters,

both are precinct that their votes, don't count. Also that that's that's like a winner. either a Supreme court case over the had a feeling that just seems comedy This is part of that Georgia law that you said when people show the wrong precinct. They should be directed to the right precinct and then their votes can count and it's very easy. yeah. I mean thing that new cake, and dissent in this is like can it descends at points into pure were kind of It is in reading of the present moment where she, he says like known, would know if you were reading the majority opinion that efforts to suppress the minority vote continue, and You know it's sort of feeding into this legend been building up that. The Roberts court, has declared that

there is no more eggs. sting racism in the United States. And dumb Alito kind of cuts, this convention says like no one suggesting that discrimination has ceased in it. Tree or that the threat of it. These as has been eliminated, but you can just try. As for the authority over voting rules from state legislatures to the federal courts, without any reason, so I think I mean obviously the court I think came to the right decision today, I do think there's going to be this kind of partisan, Reading of it and Kagan gave ammunition to leftwing critics of the court s question

This framework decision today is a sign that the right is going to win the debate over voting laws, yes or no. Yes, think so I'll. I mean that there's a dead. judicial element, hair and then there's a political element and if the Supreme, port is willing to allow some latitude to the political decisions being made and is not willing to pre empt those political decisions on the basis of in its judgment of some hidden racial disparity somewhere, then the right as you put it, is

is going to win, because the measures that the political brow She's in the United States are taking on neither, stream nor unpopular and if not going to be vetoed by the court. Then they're going to survive because by and large the controversies that we seen in Texas and Georgia and Florida and I'll swear. I actually have not really resonated with the american public. Emily I'm the rights already one. I mean very seen in Congress a lot of Democrats and progressives are backing away from. Opposing voter Idee, because for two reasons one, it

rules very well and not just among Republicans, impose well among minority groups and chew, there's been a few social scientists, sprayed enough to put out papers saying mad voter idea. Doesn't have any substantial negative effect on the votes of minorities and so there is a little bit of a come down. I think, and I wonder if, in effect, what we ve just done in the last few, maybe since November, twenty twenty. I think we're almost on the other side of the peak about concern for that Republicans early. Somehow gerrymandering themselves through voting restrictions into a permanent place of power. It's it's just not true and an infer

I think we may talk about this later, but there's gonna be some awareness. Stats blue states aren't doing some hot on this matter themselves: yes, I think the right as winning that there's try points out there. Two dimensions is political and good judicial. This is a sign that these export restrictions like us are, can be struck down on the grounds that their discriminatory era on constitution or any of that, and I think is my points out in a variety of George LAW Republic has been winning those debates. I just The over time we can see more melon voting and more early just cause, there's an appetite for it. People find it convenient I'd, prefer their one shows up on on election day votes in person, but I don't think that's the deal So my answer is yes to a designer rights. Gonna win, but with that have yacht with that, let's hear

Our first answer this episode MIKE over to you, Charlie, actually ass. I speak in the next room. My wife is making one tonne soup with MIKE Pork, and I'm impressed want on soup about wanting to get a drop in Hong Kong is at the heart of its remark to make want answered. I dont know how to do it.

Attacker Karlsson, big allegation couple nights ago were recording Thursday morning check. I see where this Thursday afternoon, yet still Thursday morning.

An empty. He said that the inner city was spying on him and was gonna leave the contents of these communications they'd, captured towards the end of putting him off the air getting off the air, and it had a whistle blower that had provide this information to him and had told him about communications according to Tucker that there's away. Anyone possibly would have known about, except for him self unless someone was indeed spying on his communications. and there's a lot. I rolling and scepticism, as you might expect about this than the USA, came out with a statement that said June, twenty eight took across an alleged enough The agency has been called monitoring. Our electronic communications has played a leak them an attempt to take the show off the air and this allegations untrue, took place has never been an intelligent target of the agency and the innocent has never had a plan to try to take his programme. I fear an essay has

when intelligence mission we target foreign powers generate inside some foreign activities, etc, etc, and that guy tat the ears of allowed people, one wise, the essay responding to two Tucker. Listen to this statement is either written innocently by an incompetent Listen. I didn't realize that everyone would take it as extreme as having been written with stream care and alertly manner, or was indeed written with extreme care. Than a loyally manner. Will you make of it. Yeah, so listen Tucker There's an acquaintance of mine- I guess They may be reading my texts Tucker, I I know what to make of it, and you know extraordinary allegations require extraordinary evidence. In some case I was his to call this. It means it is it. Is it a torture, most honoured on tv, innocence,

I kind of very bad time for cable news networks. Movies maybe he's getting up interest Michelle. in this way and then the embassy puts up his statement and I'm sorry. But if you look at the indices, history of statements, this term target of the agency and intelligence target is a very specific term of art, an unintelligent target and know any Siamese legally supposed to use target foreign nationals as intelligence targets, but We found in reply during the Obama years, was that the USA could, incidentally, collect

the phone records of millions of Americans wild targeting foreign nationals rights of its incidental over collection. We know that they ve, even you know, occasionally misused, and given to them or that they ve collected through incidental over targeting and so by using this very specific term of art by only denying this very compound accusation the USA is never have any plans to take his programme off. The show, of course, they're not dare not fox news. They can't have plans to take his programme off the air that doesn't mean that they can have plans to humiliate him such that someone else could plan to take his show off the air. Its I mean I've,

It fully believe that anything has his records. I dont know if they were going to make use of them, but this statement reads like an admission and frankly, when we know that the say can sometimes over collect to the point of ten millions of people and its possible its by happenstance, although I think if you were reconsider, the most obvious China, whence here then. Is it be targeting Julian Assange, which means you connect. The dots Julian Assange, Tucker crossing you only need Roger Stone as an intermediary, and it's very, very quick. That's a very quick chain at It's a very plausible reading, the statement that that is what happened in that's what the USA saying between the lights. I wait, we don't know, but certainly plausible reading, try what he meant I don't trust anyone involved in this. My contempt for the

I say is well known that statement was so carefully dead and the USA is so wicked in the way that, circumvents american law and its own purpose that I regard it as being next year. useless. But I also think that talk Carson has demonstrated that he himself is hardly particularly attentive when it comes to the law. And how it works. He has an enormous incentive to blow this out of proportion and make himself looked like a put upon victim and it could just as easily be the case he was tangentially, are inadvertently caught up in something and has managed to blow it into a scandal. The. Problem here is both parties.

reliable, narrators, it's it's not as if this is some middle of the road, uncontroversial unappealing, Figure who has entirely out of character and entirely out of precedent, stood Instead, I think, I'm being watched by the government till I see more evidence, I'm going to assume that everyone involved is lying and ignore it.

Are you not combine ignore this executioner? Try, sir just be prepares, come come right after at year end Emily. First, though, in your estimation, anybody there's nothing to the Tucker, an essay story, there's a little to the Tucker, an essay story, there's something to the Tucker, an essay story or the Tucker. An essay story will prove the biggest scandal of the binding years It's definitely not the biggest scheme of the pioneers, because we're completely inured to the idea of Intel agencies being lawless against Americans. I mean

John Brennan can literally spy on the? U S Senate from the CIA and become a respected blow veto on cable names, so it can be the biggest. The biggest would be like wearing the wrong closer to an event or something not the abuse. So what would? What will be? There's something to it there's something to it. Even if it's just even if you disbelieve everything. Maybe it's just an indication that Tucker Carson would would if he threw his hat into a report in primary someday, run much more directly against the intelligence agencies fairly. Nothing little something here, Why do they have something to it in the sense that at the very least, Tucker Carson has been told something and has it out of proportion or misunderstood at all. What he's been told is and enact

rendering of a fact. I dont think that took a constant invented this from whole cloth and decided he would run with it for attention. But it would surprise me if this were outside of the existing problems that we have with the annex I and how it up. yeah. I think it's it's it's it's in there that there is at least a little and there's probably something, but I would be astounded is its you known as it was originally traded, deliberate effort, spy too taken down, but we will learn, learn more or maybe not so with that, let's hear from us I can sponsor this week the bonds and grew before in the past, about our friends at Boston Group and now three.

Billion dollar national wealth management from dedicated free enterprise, custom portfolio management and deep levels of tax estate planning for each and every quiet about. The group had been right, one of the top wealth advisory formed in the country year after year by Barents Forbes and the financial times as not just their portfolio management, financial planning, awake low client service has given their growth reputation is an obsessive commitment to sharing their point of view. Their market perspective. There nuanced view of the economy and its relationship to public policy that makes them a unique wealth management offering for listeners of this very podcast. The editors go to double, W W Dad Dividend CAFE: dot com to read a weekly market cometary though edify educate and equip you that's dividend cafe dot com to learn more about our friends. Boss group or the vanilla drivel passes for thoughtful cometary out in Wall Street,

Is held in more disdain than the world capitalism declaring war on american ideals. Advance group to telling and delivery of client outcome are not at odds with each other. They are one and the same, and I can personally vouch for how the Material dividend CAFE will edify educate and equip view because our friend David Martin is behind most, if not all of it, and he is someone who personally edify educates It's me all the time he is just too worth listening to a very acute observer of financial matters and politics, and the broader debate in this country with that Charlie got big go on. York City, where with we had not present

winter. Maybe that's a little strong, but a clear leader where I want to just try to put in their back pockets that Eric Adams was going to win the mayor's race in New York, the best of very bad. I'll turn, as does mean he's great himself, but better the alternatives that we get the news couple days ago. That actually with the ranking the new ranking, that's going on in this rank voting system. Adams lead has had shrunk considerably. I guess the cared whose in third was a true that Garcia wasn't third was was now inside. Get, and then we got the news of the day in the counting they counted, but a test votes when they're running through the right system, so that it is under fifty thousand foe votes in with the cow and they got a separate them if they can separate them. Since the thing it is just a terrific mess, what to make of it

On the one hand, this is enormously funny and satisfying, because New York is a blue state the is ignored in our endless hype event. waiting over voting laws, and yet New York has probably the worst run. Elections in the United States, perhaps even in the western world, and New York is trying out a new voting system by and large the states that have come in for criticism wouldn't touch with about Paul, And it's been a disaster absolute disaster. I am vehemently opposed to any innovations in voting. I like people to vote in person think first past the post the best system, let the chips for where they may daylight local voters to be able to choose local representative.

So I am not particularly saddened to see this happen because it constraints, precisely why it is a bad idea to play around. On the other hand, this is yet another contributing factor to a broad based american mistrust. Our election systems that will not end while and has already caused damage to the equality not only do we now have a fight in New York over the integrity of this election Erica and came out quite quickly and said something is wrong here, turned out. He was correct because a few hours later New York, Yeah we accidently missed, but we put a hundred twenty five

thousand fake boats in among the real ones, but it so led to Donald Trump, saying that the absolute nonsense that he has been talking for six months and maybe longer is correct when Not this says absolutely nothing about any of the claims that dark from has made, which can be objectively value, I did and having been of objectively evaluated, have been shown to be false. leaving aside the funny not funny dichotomy, I do think the rule. It is a good thing to have a voting system that the simplest of voters can understand and first past. The post is just that. The moment that you get in to regret the moment you get into modeling the moment you get into.

A system that relies upon computers and that is perhaps comprehensible to the Dave Blossoms and shown tragedies of the world, but not to the average person voting in the election. That can't be easily predicted that can't be easily muddled In polling, you are more likely to have a problem, not just when it goes wrong, but in general, comprehension and maybe in countries where you have xx in the high social trust that can work. But at the moment, at this juncture in american history, This is a disastrous idea, and I'm with Damon Lincoln, who writes for the weak and in saying that if any state is

considering doing this at the moment, it should stop, because we need far less of this sort of debacle, not more. Yes, it Michael I've not doubt deeply into the debate. your aunt Rachel S voting. But there are cities worry its work. Certain hasn't created this. This sort of mess we see in a Europe which is also product have just near coming extremely poorly run elections. By so many people in New York, looking down on the rest of the country and how they their conduct election, though, what what right does anyone? What stance he went to New York have now to criticise the way Georgia runs its elections, for instance, but I'm with Charlie. I just why can't you just have to the person who get the most votes when or if you ve also use potential in a big multi Canada. The at that

plurality be so low that there's a certain lack of legitimacy have run off. And I guess I guess that the criticism of the room. ass. We say there are low turn out but steady. Someone they gets. Fifty percent in a manner that easily understood and transparent did everyone which, at this juncture, looks much much better than what New York City is going through. Now. I mean there's a couple things going on here. One is the New York City Board of elections, sudden in in New York City. You have these, local boards of elections, and there they each they were. Created out of a desire to to prevent partisan running of elections, so they have equal numbers of republican and democratic commissioners, but there there it's a really dank patronage system in this

that is where you get appointed to these by the two parties whose candidates got the most votes in the last gubernatorial election is a complicated system for appointing people and it's just its, very poorly designed, and it's not responsive to anyone. It's not sponsor to the mayor of mayors. Office is not responsive, really even to the legislature, the sums very hard to reform and they ve been growing up elections, basically their entire existence. I mean the board last year sent out a hunt thousand incorrect absentee ballots for the presidential election in Brooklyn you jump at or its actually what about really distressing idea, which is that, if they didn't proper,

we segregate the hundred and thirty thousand test votes that they inexplicably added to the second count. How are they gonna come up with a clear winner for this election? I mean Eric Adams companies already sued in others. In a heap, he brought up the idea that there's a chance they can have to run the primary election again, which would be an incredible embarrassment by the way you will be an international embarrassment I just stir one for New York City were the ones who talked about the installing democracy on every A tall in the world and we can't run one in the most important city in our country. That's a joke. As far as like that that the multi candidate rank choice voting,

works or seems to work in some countries than Mean Ireland. Does it in there system, and they have it counting day the day after the election, and you get the results at the end of the day, and people are habituated to it, and people are used to campaigns where in a party sable This guy one in the sky to end and it's kind of a built in the expectations of the electorate. It's not in the United States and especially when it sprung on a city for the very First time and it presented in this election a huge advantage to progressives, because naturally, the democratic primary which is effectively the mayoral election itself going to have multiple progressives and fraud. Lee

wine, maybe two people running toward the right of the party and of the city and though it meant that, even if a conservative, each candidate and Eric atoms became the one candidate endorsement in your post because he arm You took a tougher ino, he's kind of burnished his image as a cop and as such, Pro law enforcement and someone who is gonna, make the increase of a violent crime in Europe. His number one priority as mayor he's able to be swamped as the votes from determined information, progressive voters come in. They re TIM last on their sheets and then ranked their favorite parent. number one in their second favorite progressive, number, two and as the It's a retired related to take into account the rankings

Garcia is now within a whisper of him I am, but I don't know I mean it's the things viruses that whoever wins this racist gonna be a cloud over them because of this election and the way the way was run in such a botched way. In the way the counting was turned into a disaster, cook exquisite! You, Europe, city after this experience, will abandon rank to his voting. Yes, now now, because all the people they hate will tell them to anybody, know because they got, I think they got what he wanted, which has a better chance for Ultra progressive yeah. I make a unanimous and

no as well with that that's go to July. Fourth portion of this pact has, at times with serve the entirety of a pre July. Fourth podcast discussing the revolution in american history and the founders organ Ed, though this this time around just do an exit, question, style, discussion of aspects of America and american history, first question to you and be de rank: the greatness of these countries, one through five one greatest fifth, not so great, China, Britain, France, America, America's the greatest out I'll. Do I guess

in factors in here somewhere, so I guess America, one I'm gonna, see Russia too because in a way, rush survived russian greatness is in surviving the horror of russian government, interesting it's it's an amazing nation away. Then Britain I mean it gave us they get a common law three. Ah I can't later I and the office again have a twenty minute debate about this guy's. I have ever heard out. Ok, that's great, Three and then France and in China, because it sucks fifth Charlie, the answers: America, first, Britain, Second, France, Third, China, fourth, Russia than a huge gap

an island given what Michael I'm with joy, I question you knows this is which, which you put four or five between Russia and in China. I think China, in a maybe coloured, by having more power it at the moment, but tried is greater civilization. Maybe you want Russia, just based on Tolstoy dusted, does Tosto and alone, but- and I can do it, sir- I'm I'm but finally ratified all right, Charlie you're. favoured american folk hero, and you can't go outside the bounds here. You gotta choose among these choices, yet it she's among these choices, Nathan, Hale, Betsy, ROS John, John John Henry Paul Bunyan, Annie Oakley KIT, Carson Bay.

but Ruth Elvis Rail Mineral, her Donald Trump, Scott, a piano creatures for me to stand brand. I didn't my dog. Ok, Emily ample June's way, Just the whole fighting spirit, this kind of give me liberty or give me death. Celtic thing: that's in America, I think Ellis was Babe Ruth such a characteristic american figure and a runner up KIT Carson who really exemplifies the the American West frontier is so important. Obviously, to our national identity or I M ready, we need your top three patriotic speeches among these choices and we need you to do it. Miss America, styles, second, runner up. First then

First runner up your actual winner and your choosing among Frederick Douglass what a slave is a fourth of July. I'm ok, I have a dream. The gettysburg address. After today's prayer DNA prayer, John F Kennedy go into the moon, had to Kennedy Kennard Henry sorry to be Liberty, a Gimme death Douglas Macarthur Duty on a country or carbon colleges, a hundred fiftieth anniversary speech, but such an honourable Roosevelt Stevie prayer. First runner up, I have a dream in first surprising, when colleges Hunter fiftieth anniversary speech, which had speech is like such a great vision ends up on these lists. Improbably Charlie model,

The problem I have here is, I think I've been asked this question before on the spot costs, and I can't remember what I said because exactly in this formats, it's ok any archives, don't exist. Ex emperor interposed members. When I arrived them innocent. When I sent an email, I yesterday telling them all to joint Mcgraw should sit down, I think the Coolidge Speeches is at this moment the runner up, because it so perfectly

outlines the timeless nature of the american constitution in the american project. But for this moment the obviously greatest and most necessary speech is Frederick. Douglass is because he takes aim at the hypocrisy inherent within the american founding, which was real, but in so doing- and certainly this became clear in his later writings- he did not reject the virtue in the founding, and this is a big challenge. Now is to be later stage Douglas in recognising what America is and that it had fallen short of lofty unnecessary ideals rather than.

never exhibited them. Sir, I'm gonna save Macarthur speech a great speech. It is but the ending so fantastic and if you haven't recently gone and listen to it, it just it's amazing but I say second runner up courage. I say first runner up Douglas FIR, the same reasons that Charlie outline- and that is just not no one's within twenty links. It's like sectarian arrested. I feel that the Belmont the Gettysburg address is the best patriotic speech, an American

history, Charlie Gang you, gotta, go outside these options, sketches among them great battle in american history, Trent Yorktown, New Orleans, where crews Gettysburg Today midway in John Lennon. I have to say to you: do I am, of course, speaking. a somewhat rooted to my origins, soldiers left Britain and invaded France, twenty five miles away from Britain and am also perhaps more easily able to understand what those soldiers went through than, for example, the soldiers at Gettysburg because, although my grandfather wasn't among the me, he was involved in

Vision of Anzio that so that that's that The one that looms large, when I think of american courage and battle well I'm a huge. I think the battle in China is one of the greatest asset. As my air. I mean she is just like a flash. Innovation and innovation built on data roaming, that there is a kind of was the precursor to insurance, So successful land landing invasions but I have to go with Gettysburg, has in a way and he's Burg is this- combination of our great national trauma and kind of her has in itself compacted all the drama and tragedy in our history in it manages just there's nothing that comes close

yet see there D day or per Gettysburg. I think I may go go with you empower me. I was gonna, go dna by slipping back. I go back and forth, but I'm gonna go get his work for the reasons outline and Billina anybody pick one Hamilton or Jefferson Hamilton I just want to emphasise frozen, not because of the musical just Hamilton cause. That's that the country we became Janius. It used to be that salmon the outbreak has been out to common cause. Couldn't Newscorp Charlie. I think we know what your answers daddy's Jefferson. I don't know this is a good or a bad thing, but I'm just more attractive to the

edgy aside of classical liberalism and that's not to in any way rehabilitate Jefferson's floors which were manifold and greater than hamiltons, in fact greater than most of the founders, but there's something in Jefferson. That is absolutely. Lee inextricable from the american idea and Hamilton could not have written the declaration of independence. Hamilton, because I think the decoration appears would have come to nothing unless we were determined to become a national power, a great country with the military and working financial institutions and a diversified

economy, so we ve been over this many times that are our battle. Lines are the same thing happen, Charlie pick one hot dog or hamburgers hamburgers hands down hot dog, because we're gonna. We do like them better to begin. We actually managed to change the name so that it doesnt remind us of the nefarious huns. I'm a hot dog I I just love: she cried the style, stacked hot dog and be day tough on pick, one forbore baseball. baseball. It is not for me, I mean for. Maybe this is my one Tipp towards the jeffersonian vision of America, but baseball more, that pastoral nineteenth century game, which has become so

thrilling in a modern way, football around too cold war. For me,. but the moment it's gotta, be football, hasn't giving away safer and about training camps rather watching other yanked game wide streaming. The Titans camp one July first whenever it is, I think, moment in my life, I'm a big football fan and is not just because the Yankees aren't good. I adore baseball, but this the last few years football season has just done it. For me, yeah, I think, is a very tough question II. You know ten years ago of the Mvd is not enclose baseball but I'm getting closer and closer to tipping over in football, but I'm still at baseball, so I'll, say: baseball, Charlie Cook,

describe American one sentence to a space alien who might be hovering in an unidentified object, as we speak off the EAST coast somewhere tracking enable aviator America in one sentence to an alien, goodness, me? I would probably borrow somewhere the last best hope of mankind. Emily. I guess I would be trying to distinguish America. From all other nations and explaining its position side, just say, monk humans.

The ambition and craziness together are huge advantage, is almost a haiku alot about us up Jerry and freedom still off, and despite every So, let's hit few other things before we go Amby D, we gotta go to you first for your close encounter, Grisly Adams with a better Europe I mean it was so funny.
