1955 Is probably the greatest year in American cars, and you could make this a chunk and say from '55 through '57, or maybe even from '53 through '57, but most designers who were working in the industry at the time remember 1955 as their greatest year.
Dan GelernterHOST
It was huge, except that, uh, Nash and Hudson would join together to form, uh, AMC, which is one of the great disasters in American cars, especially because it would be run by, um, an awful human being named George Romney, who would later unleash Mitt Romney on the United States, um, before he would himself become governor of Michigan.
Dan GelernterHOST
It was Michigan, right?
Josh GelernterHOST
I think so, but let's, let's not get political on the podcast.
Josh GelernterHOST
We don't do that.
Dan GelernterHOST
No, but nonetheless, Romney, George Romney, was a terrible person because he didn't want to compete with the big three in style, in beauty.

He decided that he would try to destroy the American car, and he coined the term gas guzzler, and this is the beginning of-

Ted CruzGUEST
If an American missionary has a child abroad, that child is a natural born citizen.
Ted CruzGUEST
That's why George Romney, Mitt's dad, was eligible to run for president, even though he was born in Mexico.
Ted CruzGUEST
At the end of the day, the legal issue is quite straightforward, but I would note that the birther theories that Donald has been relying on, some of the more extreme ones insist that you must not only be born on U.S. soil, but have two parents born on U.S. soil under that theory.
Ted CruzGUEST
Not only would I be disqualified, Marco Rubio would be disqualified, Bobby Jindal would be disqualified, and interestingly enough, Donald J. Trump would be disqualified.

stand.Thank you, Mayor and Council.
Matt DalbeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let us pray.
Matt DalbeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Dear dark father, let us stand now unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds in darkened times.
Matt DalbeySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let us embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old.
Casey GriffithsHOST
Yeah, and we should note that there have been other prominent Latter-day Saints that served in cabinet positions, but they ranked lower because their departments were created later.
Casey GriffithsHOST
For instance, George Romney, who was a serious candidate for the president in 1968, he wasn't a fine candidate.
Casey GriffithsHOST
He wasn't nominated for president by other party, but he serves as the secretary of housing and urban development from 1969 to 1973, which is lower in the succession order than secretary of agriculture.
Casey GriffithsHOST
And the next would be Mike Levitt, who was secretary of health and human services after serving as the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Jake ShieldsHOST
Mm-hmm.
Latter-Day ChadGUEST
She claims that that's part of the tactic that they use, and she claims that MKUltra had already been instituted in the Catholic Church, and that she was trafficked in Michigan, um, to an, the governor's island when George Romney was the governor.
Latter-Day ChadGUEST
And for context, around that same time, there was, like, I think it's, like, called Fox Island, Michigan.
Latter-Day ChadGUEST
Do you remember the, the, hearing about the Epstein Island in Michigan? Let me look up what it's called.
Cathy O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, a- an extensive progression over, um, the next several years.
Cathy O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This included going to the governor's mansion in Mackinac Island, Michigan.
Cathy O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
At that time, George Romney was the governor of Michigan, and he was very much interested in taking a powerful form of mind control gleaned from the Catholics, taken from the Catholics, taken from the, the CIA and the Hitler/Himmler research and, and also into the, um, technological advancements, and put it into his Mormon church.
Cathy O'BrienSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ro- George Romney was very active and very high up in the Mormon Church, and they could foresee that as a strong opportunity for, um, being able to lead people by in, in a religious way.

And, but he, he wouldn't, you know, he hates Trump.
Matt TrumpHOST
He almost lost his mind in tears when I told him I'd voted for Trump in 2020.
Adam JohnsonHOST
But in the decades that follow, U.S. media would assign maverick as a more positive term, conjuring notions of independent thinkers who bucked political establishment and political correctness.
Adam JohnsonHOST
In 1962, for example, George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney, was a Republican candidate for governor of Michigan.
Adam JohnsonHOST
In February of that year, shortly after Romney had announced his candidacy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch explained why it viewed Romney as a maverick, comparing him to Wendell Willkie.
Adam JohnsonHOST
Mr. Romney has been critical of Republicans as well as Democrats so that the state's Republicans are not unanimously behind him.
