George McGovern

He got more than a million votes, which by third-party standards, especially in the 1970s, is very good.

And if you look at the county-by-county results in Idaho, he's been in shouting range of George McGovern, partly because McGovern is not very popular in Idaho, but also because there is, like, there are places where he was close to ten percent.

And this is if you're just living in Washington, D.C., and reading the Post and the Times, this is gonna be almost complete, probably completely invisible to you.

It is possibly the case that we have a lot more in common in terms of our beliefs now than we did fifty years ago or let alone earlier.

And the insulin was, I mean, her blood sugar was not that bad, but the insulin was like so far off of normal.

And I'm like, well, how long would you have to go before it would get anywhere close to normal? And we were at like four days and she's like, are you trying to kill me? Maybe, maybe because I haven't ever thought that it was this powerful and so when the part that was forefront on the center of the stage was that sugars needed to be lowered but what was causing that for especially when when I look back at you know the George McGovern I'm a South Dakotan for 50 years before I moved to Tampa and George McGovern was a senator who when I was a kid he lived 30 miles from where I grew up And his whole policy was that the grains needed to be the bottom of that food pyramid.

And when you look at that grain, it wasn't, you know, raw grain and wasn't, you know, the kind of sprouted grains that you, no, no, no, it's processed and it's powdered.

And now you've got these tiny little particles.

Think of particle size and how much that carbohydrate and even powdered protein can give you a stimulus of insulin when you're in the pathologic side of it.

And I contend nearly all of us are on the pathologic side of it because we've been eating this food that is processed.

So the demons that I stomp on are, well, all the subsidies that probably went to my relatives in South Dakota because of George McGovern and wheat farmers.

And it did save the Midwest, but it ruined the waistlines across the country because of how much insulin is stimulated.

It is Boomer Trivia Time, and since we are in election season, here is some political trivia for you.

In the 1972 presidential election, what was the only state to give its electoral votes to George McGovern? Was it Massachusetts? New York? Minnesota or South Dakota? Take a guess and I'm going to have that answer for you in about five minutes.

But right now we have a bunch of news.

So shall we? Luminous Health says that my chart patient portal is back online four weeks after a cyber attack disrupted systems across the health network.

Jerry Brandt, who was another manager type who discovered Carly Simon.

David Geffen, Senator George McGovern, [laughs] which is really random, but he was just the presidential nominee in '72, so I'm sure that was a visual joke that would've resonated for the audience at the time.

Uh, Bette Midler, Jerry Moss, who was the other half of A&M Records with Herb Alpert, then Winslow, Peter Fonda, and Dick Clark.

So an odd assortment of people.

So again, what others saw in the late '60s, early '70s, Ronnie saw much earlier.

And take the 1972 campaign when you had Nixon running against what in those days was seen as the radical leftist George McGovern, and Ronnie was a great Nixon supporter.

And that's something that would be born with neoconservatism, which had many Jews in the forefront of that movement.

And finally, the Orthodox achieved enough su- enough success in America that they, uh, they were concerned with Israel, and crime, and, uh, anti-affirmative action stuff, anti-busing.
