JLP Show Notes | Wed. 8-30-23
JLP Hr 1 BQ: What sense does it make to fight anything or anyone? I ask to get you to know yourself. Know thyself. … Most human beings love their hell, their misery. They’ll complain about schools, but still send them there (mothers mostly, but also fathers even). … There’s no such thing as “our children.” Children belong to father and mother only…
A couple of stories including a degenerate teacher maybe who is now a state rep… Remember English only push? That’s gone now. (Rep. Steve King ousted by RINOs, called “white supremacists.”) … Think about whites convinced that they’re racist. … (Great clip with Dana White of UFC on the N-word vs some reporter…) //
Amazing call w/ Larry in IN (18yo black) calls back with an update … remarkable story about his mother… He knows he looks sketchy! //
JLP Hr 2 JLP rehashes Larry from Indiana’s account of his mother pulling his license plates off his car, mad at him for forgiving her. He tryna move, and he demand he stay. …. // Super Chats: What makes a person not love their hell? … Super Blue Moon, Idalia, Storm Surge, Biden money to KARAN (?) … //
Lonnie from KY (1st-timer) says Jesse knows his mama, she calls him and his bro “an A-hole like their father” and cussing… drama with his sister, and forgiving his mother. … // JLP makes a point Hake misses… Greg from Buffalo, NY (22, 1st-timer) says his parents were in a “cult” (church, dad became a preacher, awful), he’s an only child 13-years into marriage
JLP Hr 3 Great calls… Jonathan in CO (1st-timer) on prayer, forgiveness, his wife forgave mother, not dad … she had a kid, and he had a kid already, his baby mama has him, and she had a daughter. // Michael in NC argues with Jesse about Larry in IN being seen as “sketchy”... // Super Chats with Hake, and BQ responses… //
Derrick from Nashville, TN (1st-timer) speaks (slightly effeminate voice, Hake notes quietly) on how to teach fiancée about forgiveness …

X (formerly Twitter) allows political ads again, first since 2019. Elon Musk criticized censorship, past Twitter politics // Idalia a beautiful woman, a terrible storm: Cat 4 hurricane hitting FL this AM // Gas prices through the roof ($3.82 ave), CNN trying to blame Idalia and Labor Day weekend //
(CNN Wed. 8/30/23) X, the platform formally known as Twitter, said it will allow political ads again for the first time since 2019. The announcement comes after its owner Elon Musk criticized how the platform's previous leadership handled political discourse, including “claims of censorship” (meanwhile CNN all over the book bans of degenerate propaganda).
Idalia a beautiful woman, a terrible storm!
(theSkimm Wed. 8/30/23) Idalia is set to make landfall within hours.
What do I need to know? The Category 4 hurricane is predicted to hit Florida's Big Bend region between 6 and 9 am ET. Parts of the Gulf Coast are bracing for a potential storm surge of up to 15 feet and up to 8 inches of rain. Storm winds are already up to 130 mph as of this morning. Around 1.6 million people were ordered to evacuate. Those not told to evacuate are advised to stay indoors, cover windows and doors, make emergency supply kits, and be ready to leave. Parts of Georgia and South Carolina are also under warning for severe flooding.
Is it that bad? We’ll see. But weather experts are calling the storm “unprecedented” for the region. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) warned residents to “remain vigilant.”
The news comes amid other unprecedented weather this summer: In Greece, wildfires raging for over 10 days are now the largest in the history of the EU, covering an area the size of New York City. More than 21 people have died in the flames, 18 of them migrants.
theSkimm: Last month was the planet's hottest on record. Now, as we head into the fall, hurricane season is only halfway through and scientists are warning more could come.
NOT READ from CNN: Hurricane Idalia has intensified into an extremely dangerous Category 4 storm with powerful winds of 130 mph ahead of its expected landfall today on Florida's Gulf Coast. Category 4-strength winds are capable of catastrophic damage — destroying homes, causing prolonged utility outages and potentially rendering some areas uninhabitable for weeks. It could be the first major hurricane at Category 3 or stronger to hit the state's Big Bend region. "You really got to go now," Gov. Ron DeSantis said as he urged Floridians to heed evacuation warnings. After barreling into Florida, Idalia is on track to pass into Georgia and then the Carolinas.
Gas prices
(CNN Wed. 8/30/23) The storm that's threatening to cause widespread flooding in Florida and up the East Coast may also cause a spike in gas prices nationwide. Idalia's impact could take gasoline refinery facilities offline and may limit some Gulf oil production and supplies, experts say. Plus, demand for gas is expected to surge as residents of the impacted areas evacuate. Many drivers in other parts of the country are also filling up their vehicles ahead of Labor Day weekend, pushing demand for gas even higher. The average national price is already at $3.82 a gallon but analysts say the extreme weather conditions and a jump in summer travel could mean gas prices remain elevated well into the fall.

Human smugglers
(CNN Wed. 8/30/23) The FBI is investigating more than a dozen migrants from Uzbekistan and other countries allowed into the US after they sought asylum at the US-Mexico border earlier this year. US intelligence officials found that the migrants traveled with the help of a smuggler with ties to ISIS, according to multiple officials, raising alarm bells across the government. No specific ISIS plot has been identified, the FBI said, but officials are assessing all of the individuals as possible criminal threats. For some counterterrorism officials, it shows that the US is deeply vulnerable to the possibility that terrorists could sneak across the southern border by hiding amid the surge of migrants entering the country in search of asylum.
Jobs
(CNN Wed. 8/30/23) The number of available jobs in the US dropped below 9 million for the first time since March 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job openings decreased across most major industries, but picked up in areas such as information and transportation, warehousing and utilities. A smaller number of workers quit their jobs, businesses hired fewer employees and layoffs nudged higher as the US job market settles into a calmer, more balanced state. Layoffs are now 17% below what they were before the Covid-19 pandemic, data shows. Analysts say this means that the job market and the broader economy are edging toward a "soft landing," when inflation can be reined in without triggering mass layoffs and a recession.
Medicare
(CNN Wed. 8/30/23) The Biden administration unveiled the names of the first 10 drugs subject to Medicare price negotiations on Tuesday, including several popular blood thinners and diabetes medications. The drugs are Eliquis, Jardiance, Xarelto, Januvia, Farxiga, Entresto, Enbrel, Imbruvica and Stelara, as well as Fiasp and certain other insulins made by Novo Nordisk, including NovoLog. Medicare enrollees paid a total of $3.4 billion in out-of-pocket costs last year and those who didn't receive additional financial assistance shelled out as much as $6,500 on average. "Big Pharma is charging Americans more than three times what they charge other countries simply because they could," President Joe Biden said Tuesday. "I think it’s outrageous. That's why these negotiations matter." Once set, the negotiated prices take effect in 2026, though drug companies filed multiple lawsuits seeking to derail the effort.
