Eastern Washington

Yeah, and I think especially in the, in the press world, I think that, you know, I think, um, now that, that this is the fourth book, I think that, um, when the last book, Twitchland, came out and, uh, then I think it really started kind of picking up with the, like the Seattle, you know, press and the news.

And, and now there, there's been stories about me, uh, around East, Eastern Washington, Washington State, my alma mater, Washington State University.

I'm from, I went to law school in Spokane.

So there's a, I think now I think the word is out kind of and, and people are intrigued by it, so yeah.

You're in Washington State?

Yes, Eastern Washington.

Richland, Washington.

The Tri-Cities, Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland.

Ah.

So it's Eastern Washington.

80, my gosh.

It's, uh-

They're in Idaho.

They're also in Eastern Washington.

D- Darren's kind of a, almost a broker-

Okay

I, I don't know, but to the audience who maybe is unfamiliar with Liberty State, Liberty State was an idea that we could split Washington State in half and create two different states, a 51st state.

That the State of Washington and Olympia and Seattle really, truly don't represent the interests or the people of Eastern Washington.

If you look at Washington State, uh, Eastern Washington is really very conservative.

A- and a lot of states are like this.

A lot of blue states are like this.

Uh, but the movement, it gained some traction, and then ultimately, it kinda submarined, uh, to be quite honest.

Uh, there's competing personalities, and it just kinda fell flat.

Uh, but the, but a new movement, uh, called Eastern Washington emerged out of that, and there's a great group.

It was pretty awesome until, like, the last day, and then I didn't give a fuck about race cars anymore.

You went Eastern Washington to do it? Yeah, Chelan.

Chelan.

How's the weather over there? Sunny.

And again, the pastoral compared to our country with what we've wasted, Whether it's timber or grass feed, you know, the world that I've seen in my short life has a heck of a lot more room for livestock than it does for a plow.

Now that country, my granddad, it kind of reminded you of the Palouse country in Eastern Washington, rolling hills and lots of places.

Yeah, there was straight up and down rock piles too, but lots of country that somebody would in here would be raising winter wheat, I would think, but it's all being grazed and it's grazed.

It's not waving in the wind.
