A little bit later on tonight, we're going 60 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 5: to talk about porch pirates. I think all of you 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: know what porch pirates do. They steal packages off of 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: people's doorsteps. That's why they're called porch pirates, or they 63 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 5: have side porches or their front porches. And we're going 64 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 5: to talk with a security expert on that. Some people 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 5: are actually striking back at the porch pirates, So we 66 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 5: will talk about that. But before we begin anything, let 67 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 5: me remind those of you who may not realize this, 68 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 5: that tomorrow, January twenty seventh, is an important day in history. 69 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: It is the eighty first anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 5: the Nazi concentration camp. I don't know how much news 71 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: coverage it will get because it was eighty one years 72 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 5: ago tomorrow that Russian troops actually liberated the concentration camp 73 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: called Auschwitz, but I wanted to at least mention it 74 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 5: tonight at the beginning of the program, for everybody to 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 5: take a moment tomorrow and realize that it is Holocaust 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 5: Remembered Day tomorrow, not only in the United States but 77 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 5: across the world. Now, let us get to the matters 78 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 5: at hand, which always during the first hour here at night, 79 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 5: so I know, or at least for the last two 80 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 5: and a half or so years, basically a four guests. 81 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: My first guest tonight is doctor Britt Bolton. He's a 82 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 5: tricologist in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, And of course I never 83 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 5: knew what a tricologist was until I found out a 84 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 5: try my cologist focuses exclusively on here and scalp help. 85 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 5: Doctor Bolton. Welcome to nightside, sir. 86 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: How are you hi? Thank you so much for having me. 87 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm doing wonderful. 88 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 8: How about yourself, I'm great. 89 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 5: Well, we're still dealing with snow up here. I know 90 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 5: in Florida that's a rare occurrence, but it happens all 91 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 5: too often here in New England. Anyway, That's not what 92 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 5: we're here to talk about. What we're here to talk 93 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 5: with you about is the question of whether or not 94 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 5: overseas medical procedures are worth the risk. Now, this is 95 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 5: what's called medical tourism. I assume that you want to 96 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: talk about medical tourism generally, or do you just want 97 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 5: to talk about people who are going overseas to have 98 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 5: I guess hair transplants or plugs. Which are we talking 99 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 5: broadly based or more specific in the practice of trichology. 100 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm a hair transplant surgeon. That's all I do. 101 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: That's all I've ever done. I've been doing it now 102 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: almost thirty years, and now more than ever, we're seeing 103 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: an influx of patients that are actually coming back from 104 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: their procedures from overseas, and we're seeing lots of complications 105 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: that they're having. Now, I'm not saying that's the case 106 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: for all of the cases, but my practice is mostly 107 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: focused on corrective surgery. And this story I've been telling 108 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: lately is I had about a week. We're all five 109 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: of my patients. They all happen to have come from Turkey, 110 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: and they were all corrective surgery procedures, whether it was 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: an unnatural growth of graphs or how they harvested the 112 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: donor tissue where they had unnatural looking hairlines, all of 113 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: which can be corrected. But what's happening is the patients 114 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: are seeing these social media influencers and they see the 115 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: best case scenario, show the glamorize it. Oh, you're going 116 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: to get picked up in a limousine. We're going to 117 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: take you this beautiful tell you it's cheap, and we're 118 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: going to do this great job for you. And I'm 119 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: not saying you can't get a good job in Turkey, 120 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: because there are I've seen plenty of nice cases. However, 121 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: there's the other side of it where they're not getting 122 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: the great results. And so I always use the term 123 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: buyer beware. Oh. I always tell everyone just you have 124 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: to ask the right questions prior to getting your procedure done, 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: to make sure you're getting what you're specific specifically looking for. 126 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 5: Well, of course, in Latin caveat emptor. I'm sure you're 127 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 5: familiar with the Latin phrase as well. But that's why 128 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 5: that we evoke here on Nights Side regularly. And of 129 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 5: course there are a lot of times when I'd like 130 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 5: to say, when your mother told you that if the 131 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 5: deal was sounded too good to be true, it probably was. 132 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 5: So here's my question, man, and I've never talked with 133 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,559 Speaker 5: a tricologist before. Okay, when you talk about what's going 134 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: on overseas or in your office, is this what we 135 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 5: used to refer to as hair plugs. I remember when 136 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 5: Joe Biden was a senator a younger and he had 137 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 5: hair plugs. O hair plugs? Have they gone the way 138 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 5: of the Dodo bird? 139 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: Okay, So what you're saying, you're one hundred percent correct. 140 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: The hair plug is obsolete for the most part. What 141 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: we're doing today is we're doing one hair graft at 142 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: a time. So instead of using what they were doing 143 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 2: in the past, is they were taking a punch biopsy 144 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: picture a hollowed out pencil with a blade and they 145 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: were taking these punches that would have you know, two 146 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: three millimeters of diameter, and they might have fifteen, sometimes 147 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: even twenty five hairs in some of those big old plugs. 148 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: Because of the size of the graph the plug as 149 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: you refer to, they'd have to space them out and 150 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: make sure they had enough blood flows. They were so spaced, 151 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: and so because they were big, they would turn and 152 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: they'd have different hair growth. As far as the directions 153 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: and angles of the hair. They were unsightly because they 154 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: didn't have the softening which we're doing today. And you know, 155 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: the way they were harvesting the donor by doing that 156 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: punch boxy decision, they were destroying the donor hair. It 157 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: affected the blood supply, it affected the nerves supply. They 158 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: look moss eaten in the back. 159 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: So therefore it sounds to me like what you're saying 160 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 5: is that there's been a great deal of progress in. 161 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: Your field yet and no. So what happened was once 162 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: the one hair graft was introduced. I was at the 163 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: conference in Barcelona in nineteen ninety six that revolutionized the 164 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: hair transplant industry. And then at that point they were 165 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: doing strip harvesting, which is the method where we opened 166 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: the donor up with the blade and we're able to 167 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: see the follicles underneath in order to make sure that 168 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: the foll cles aren't being transacted being cut, so they're 169 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: good clean follicles. So we were getting the one hairs 170 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: that we were doing the flicular units. That's naturally occurring 171 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: bundle of hairs, groups of hairs we all have in 172 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: the back of our head, might have two, might have three. 173 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 2: Rarely you might see a four hair, but usually it's 174 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: about two to three hairs, you know. Sometimes you might 175 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: even have a one hair flicular hair. Anyways, the industry 176 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: went from those big plugs all the way down to 177 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: just single hairs in the front, and then they were 178 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: putting those little flicular units everywhere else. So what happened 179 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: was is the patients at that time when they were 180 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: doing the strip harvesting, they were getting a lot of hair. 181 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: And so a lot of the doctors that were, you know, 182 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: around for a while, they're like, wait a second, my 183 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: patients aren't coming back as much now as they did 184 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: when I was doing those plugs. Because I could do 185 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and two hundred plugs, do ten patients a 186 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: day and they have to come back all the time 187 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: and keep getting more. But this strip method was giving 188 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: too much hair as well. Really happened, So I'm not 189 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: gonna mention there's name, but he was one of the 190 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: doctors who created this, and then he decided to create 191 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 2: what's called a fillicular unit extraction. So now we went 192 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: he went back to where the plugs harvesting went that 193 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: punch biopsy, and instead of punching out those big holes, 194 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: he started only punching out follicular units, only that tiny, 195 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 2: small little bundle. So now instead of a two to 196 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: three millimeter punch, they're either down to a point eight 197 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 2: or one millimeter punch biopsy. And what they're doing is 198 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: they've recreated the same you know, side effects we were 199 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: having with the plugs. So they went backwards in this sense. 200 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: And the reason why that technique became so popular is 201 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 2: because the doctors don't have to do the harvesting, so 202 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 2: they'll bring in technicians to do the harvesting. So it 203 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: might take four to eight hours just to put the 204 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: holes out of the back of the head, where if 205 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 2: I were to do a strip surgery, I can have 206 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, let's say sixty seventy square centime. There's a 207 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: tissue approximately equivalent to about twelve to fourteen thousand hairs 208 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: if the patient has the average density versus there's which 209 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: might take you know, a full day just to get 210 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: the hair out, and they won't even get nearly as 211 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: much as you can get with the strip surgery. So yeah, 212 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: it sounds. 213 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 5: Like a lot of work. It sounds like a lot 214 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 5: of work. 215 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: Too much work. It puts the patient under the anesthesias 216 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: too long. They're pulling the tissue out of what's called 217 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the safe zone. So you know, you think of the 218 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: ball guy right where they have that strip around the back. 219 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: So they're having to harvest much righter than where that 220 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: strip would be. So if the patient continues to lose 221 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: more hair, they could potentially lose these graphs. So they 222 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: went forward, but then they took a step back in 223 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 2: my opinion, with this pollicular and an extraction method. And 224 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: that's what they're doing in terms. 225 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 5: So let me ask us what I want to do. 226 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 5: I want to get to this nuts. I got pretty 227 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 5: good head of hair. I was on television in many years, 228 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 5: so I progress that. Okay, But what what are people 229 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 5: paying when they go to one of these overseas places 230 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 5: and they think they're saving money. What what what is 231 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: the differential? 232 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: Is it. 233 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 5: Of what they would spend the year? No way? 234 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: Now that here here's the kicker. They're they're paying a 235 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: fraction of what they would pay in the United States. 236 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: And that's what's enticing everybody. 237 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 5: Okay, but they'll do docum doctor a fraction could be 238 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 5: three quarters or one fifth'll. 239 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: Give us exactly in the United States for a quality 240 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: hair transplant surgeon to do your procedure, you're going to pay, 241 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: you know, ten to twenty grand. Let's say there, you're 242 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: going to pay two to five grand. 243 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 8: Huge difference, huge difference. 244 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: It's a huge difference, and it makes it enticing to 245 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: everybody to say, hey, it's worth giving it a triple. 246 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 5: Let me ask you one more question, one more topical question. 247 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: You see a lot of off on the internet for 248 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 5: people who are have gone bald or who are going bald, 249 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 5: and they talk about this shampoo, that shampoo. In the 250 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 5: last six months, I've seen a lot of that sort 251 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 5: of stuff. Is that stuff? Does it work? And does 252 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 5: it have an impact on your practice? 253 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: So? Yes and yes, So if the products have the 254 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: fdair proof treatments The main one you're going to find 255 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: over the counter is Roguin, which is monoxidil. So if 256 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: the product has that inside and you're using it regularly, 257 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: then yes, that could help to prevent future hair loss 258 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: for sure. The other fdair proof treatment that's out there 259 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: is pro Peche, which I always recommend. And your answer 260 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: to does it affect my business? Well, what affects our 261 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: business is that there's all these online pharmaceutical companies like 262 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: let's say Roman or Hymns or you know. You can 263 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: go online and they're marketing like crazy, and and they 264 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: are you're still in a form, and then they prescribe 265 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: you these FDA preventive treatments. What the patient doesn't realize 266 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: is these are generic and you can go to Costco 267 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: and get a whole year of Financier for thirty bucks. 268 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: You can go to Walmart Costco and get your monoxidil 269 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: for a few dollars a month, and they're they're paying these, 270 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: you know, a lot more than that monthly for the 271 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: same product. But but what that's done is open the 272 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: door for patients to not have to go get a consultation. 273 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: They're they're treating themselves. So oh so some video influencer 274 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: told me to do this. 275 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 5: You know, you know we should do this might deserve 276 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 5: a longer conversation some night, okay, And and I'm I 277 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 5: got backed up here on time because I think it's interesting. 278 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: Uh and half my audience probably has concerns about this. 279 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 5: We may have you back if that's okay, and take you're. 280 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 8: You're really good. 281 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 5: You answer questions directly, which I like, and and you're 282 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 5: very knowledgeable.

First of all, 310 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 5: you're a Christian life coach. Why is being Christian life 311 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 5: coach important as supposed to just a life coach. I 312 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 5: happen to be Catholics, so I'm also Christian. But I'm 313 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 5: just curious what distinguishes a Christian life coach from a 314 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 5: life coach. 315 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 7: Well, you know, that's a great question. It's interesting that 316 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 7: I used to tell people that I was a life coach, 317 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 7: and then I started just noticing that there was certain 318 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 7: people that were coming to me and they were maybe 319 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 7: more interested in having the ability or the freedom, let's say, 320 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 7: to talk about more spiritual things. And so I just 321 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 7: added that to the title and it's really been interesting 322 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 7: to see how it's changed, how my business has gone, 323 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 7: and pretty much that's who comes to me for Okay. 324 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 5: Now, the name of your book, which again is one 325 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 5: of the things I want people to be aware of, 326 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 5: is I'm fine really, and it says moving from stress 327 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 5: and anxiety to peace and calm. So that's really I 328 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 5: guess the name of the book. How do we do that. 329 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 5: I'm always stressed, I have anxiety. Sometimes I hit peace 330 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 5: and calm, but it's tough on a on a regular 331 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 5: day basis to be more peace, peaceful, and calm than 332 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 5: it is to be stressed and anxious. 333 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, so the title I'm fine really, if you're if 334 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 7: anybody has seen the front of the cover, it's like 335 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 7: two talking bubbles, and so it's like you Dan saying 336 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 7: to me, I'm fine and I'm gone really, So it's 337 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 7: actually I'm responding because how often do we say that 338 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 7: to our friends, the people we work with, right, and then. 339 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: We're not fine. 340 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 7: We've got this mask that we are putting on ourselves 341 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 7: and we're trying to minimize our feelings. And what actually 342 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 7: happens is when we continuously do that, we're not giving 343 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 7: ourselves permission to really tell the truth and to talk 344 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 7: about how we really feel. And so that's where that 345 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 7: stress and anxiety comes because we're staying stuck, we're staying 346 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 7: behind the mask. 347 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 5: So what is the what will we learn from the book? 348 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 5: And again I'm always looking for just a quick synopsis. 349 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 5: I don't want you to give the book away, but 350 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 5: tell us what can people do to move from stress 351 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 5: and anxiety to peace and calm? 352 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's a book. I tell a lot of 353 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 7: personal stories or client stories of how different people have 354 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 7: gone from the place of stress and anxiety to experiencing 355 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 7: more peace and calm. And I share a lot of 356 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 7: prompts and journal prompts and just do questions that help 357 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 7: people to really have introspection and consider their own experience 358 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 7: and where they're coming from. What I've been told Dan 359 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 7: is that people really relate to the stories that I 360 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 7: share because they're real and they're or you know, they 361 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: were mine, they were someone else's. And when we see 362 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 7: ourselves in the book, that's when we recognize that, you 363 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 7: know what, if Darla can do it, if your clients 364 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 7: can do it, then I too can experience make a 365 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 7: choice of moving from stress and anxiety, because that is 366 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 7: what it is. It's learning to make a conscious choice 367 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 7: that you know, I don't want to stay here, I 368 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 7: don't need to stay here, and I can choose to move. 369 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 5: Okay, what percentage of my listeners or of the American 370 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 5: public in your opinion, can benefit from this book, or 371 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 5: even more specifically, what percentage of people if they had 372 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 5: to identify either as being stressed and being anxious as 373 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 5: opposed to being calm and being peaceful. How do you 374 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 5: think that would break down? 375 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 7: Well, a statistic that pops up for me when you 376 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 7: ask that question is statistically speaking, that eighty three percent 377 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 7: of people that end up in the emergency room the 378 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 7: underlying reason that they're there so they can go there 379 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 7: for something completely different, But the underlying reason of why 380 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 7: they're there is because they have stress and anxiety over 381 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 7: whatever's going on. How many times have you known someone 382 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 7: experienced it yourself or even the listeners that have felt 383 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 7: that they were having a heart attack as an example, 384 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 7: and then they go to the er and they find 385 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 7: out that their tests all come back negative, and they 386 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 7: find which is a good thing, right, And then they realize, 387 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 7: oh wow, this is just life experiences that have caused 388 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 7: me to be completely out of control and stress, and 389 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 7: a lot of it dan comes from how we think, 390 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 7: like what are we thinking about? What are we talking about? 391 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 7: What are the words we're using? And I go through 392 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 7: all of that in my book because it's as an example. 393 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 7: People just don't pay attention to what even the words 394 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 7: that they say to themselves every single day. You know, 395 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 7: I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I'm anxious, I'm this, I'm that, 396 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 7: I'm all the things. 397 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my internal conversation every day.

Okay, they can go 448 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 9: because it's highest ninety percent. You know, it's not dark, 449 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 9: it's not milk chocolate, which most people have in the 450 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 9: bad chocolates, and it should be taken almost like a supplement. 451 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 9: You don't want to eat the whole bar. You just 452 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 9: need to have a couple of pieces of it. And 453 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 9: it is a mood alter, so it will it will 454 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 9: change your mood. And you know, if you go over 455 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 9: anything in excess, it's going to cause you to have 456 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 9: the negative side effects of it, which basically you're going 457 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 9: to have like a sugar low because there's going to 458 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 9: be sugar also as part of that. 459 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: Okay, now number two, I eat one of these every 460 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 5: morning on my awaken one eighty cocoa Cereal bananas. Love bananas. 461 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 5: Tell us why? 462 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 9: Well, A lot of people think it's because they have 463 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 9: serotonin in them, but the reality is that you cannot 464 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 9: absorb the serotonin in from the banana. But what you 465 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 9: do is you get B six and B vitamins and 466 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 9: I have another list. I have lists of other foods 467 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 9: that we can talk about. But the reality is that 468 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 9: we burn out our B viams because of stress. And 469 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 9: most people are running around in high sympathetic which is 470 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 9: the fight or flight. You know, they wake up in 471 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 9: the morning stressed out, and work called days stressed and 472 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 9: they're just burning out these BEE vitamins, and so bananas 473 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 9: is a good way to get it. And it also 474 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 9: gives you that you know, they're high in sugar content, 475 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 9: so you don't want to eat more than one banana, 476 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 9: but you know, it's not like you eat more and 477 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 9: you're gonna get more benefit.

And if you are feeling dehydrated, there are 499 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 9: what they call cell salts or I'm not talking about gatorade, 500 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 9: but they sell little packets that you can get called 501 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 9: like liquid IV or something like that, that you can 502 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 9: get at any grocery store in America, and they will 503 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 9: Actually you'll see a mood shift because when your body's dehydrated, 504 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 9: your body's struggling, it has to absorb the nutrient, the 505 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 9: water or the fluids from your muscles and ligaments and tendons, 506 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 9: and so you're gonna start having aches and pains in 507 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 9: your joints. 508 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 8: If you don't have that, don't want that. 509 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 5: Okay, Number four, This is a good one. Coffee. A 510 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 5: lot of people, including me, a coffee drinkers. I became 511 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 5: a coffee drinker late in life. I didn't have a 512 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 5: couple of coffee in my life until I was about 513 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 5: forty five, and I was in television at the time, 514 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 5: and I switched from working nights to early mornings. Early 515 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 5: mornings at four in the morning when we were doing 516 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 5: live shots at five am. 517 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 8: You have deaf coffee. 518 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 5: And I've been hooked on coffee ever since. 519 00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 8: So it's good for me. 520 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 9: Well, coffee. Coffee does a few things for you that 521 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 9: are important, and again in excess could be overbearing to 522 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 9: the system. But they do know that caffeine in moderation 523 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 9: is going to give you a lift in a cognitive 524 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 9: You know, your brain is going to work better because 525 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 9: the synapses are firing faster, so you can make better decisions. 526 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 9: Think about it like overclocking your computer. You can have that. 527 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 9: But also people will probably notice, or they might even 528 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 9: say that they have their coffee and then they go 529 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 9: in and they have their moaning constitution. You know, they 530 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 9: go into the restroom and their body will now expel 531 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 9: any waste because it Actually most people don't know this, 532 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 9: but when the Spaniards went to South America, coffee was 533 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 9: never drained. It was only used as an itema because 534 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 9: it moves the parastitlic movement in the digestive system. But 535 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 9: of course we've made it taste really good and they 536 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 9: know how to make it better for us, and some 537 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 9: people take where they're coffee. You're going to see a 538 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 9: bill and show up in about an hour, So yeah, 539 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 9: you need to have that coffee every morning. 540 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 5: Doctor Porter, you're familiar with the acronym KMI. Too much information. 541 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 5: Let's move on to avocados. Let's go to avocados. Everybody 542 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 5: loves avocados, including Tom Brady and my daughter. I'm not 543 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 5: a big avocado guy. What does that do for us? 544 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 9: Well, the biggest thing is that our body needs fat, 545 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 9: but it doesn't need fat in the form of potato 546 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 9: chips and another seed. Oils and avocados have really good fats. 547 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 9: So think in terms of your brain. Your brain needs 548 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 9: what they call keytones, which is really a fat. But 549 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 9: we need something to make you with so the body 550 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 9: can process those avocados and it gives you energy. That 551 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 9: energy is going to be all the difference for you. 552 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 9: And some people will claim eat an avocado a Data's 553 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 9: actually a report that shows all the health benefits of 554 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 9: eating an avocado a day. I think it's great to 555 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 9: see on most menus now in the morning they'll have 556 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 9: avocado toast, yes, so people can have it. 557 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, okay. And then talking about mornings, berries, any 558 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 5: sorts of berries. I'm a big blueberry guy. I see 559 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 5: berries are here. 560 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 9: Oh yes, blueberries and strawberries are both low in the 561 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 9: glycemic index. And when you think of that, that's the 562 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 9: sugar index. Yeah, most people are running around their sugar 563 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 9: is over one hundred and forty, which it should never 564 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 9: be over, but they're starting to make they're moving the 565 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 9: sugar levels up because everybody's so far up and the 566 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 9: doctor doesn't want to tell them, hey, you got high sugar, 567 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 9: but we should be around one hundred somewhere around one 568 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 9: hundred one hundred and forty during the day. That's a range. 569 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 9: But some people start the day out because they're stressed out. 570 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 9: We've talked about this before in the show, when their 571 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 9: their liver actually dumps twenty five grams of sugar into 572 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 9: their system. But you know, there want to we want 573 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 9: to keep that sugar under control, and that is one 574 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 9: of the things that modulates that. 575 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 5: And what is the what is what the what is 576 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 5: the test when you do your blood? 577 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 8: So in terms of sugar is that Yeah, you can. 578 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 9: They have monitors you can wear. 579 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, that do it. 580 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 9: That's probably the best way and they're not very expensive. 581 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 9: And I recommend everyone at least once a year do 582 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 9: a fourteen day. You know, you can go online and 583 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 9: put in the glucose meters and they link with your phone, 584 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 9: so it's kind of nice. And what's what's interesting is 585 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 9: most people that do it, they'll contact me and they'll 586 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 9: go why did I get stressed out here? I wasn't 587 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 9: eating anything, And I'll say, did you get stressed at 588 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 9: that time? Did you get angry with somebody? And You'll 589 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 9: see that negative emotions will trigger that sugar response. So 590 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 9: it helps to regulate psychology, your psychology as well as 591 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 9: your physiology. 592 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 5: So we have hit just about six of the eight 593 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 5: fermented foods are also sawa, kraw kim chi, kumbuka yogurt, 594 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 5: and then also shrooms mushrooms packed with vitamin D.

Good evening to you know your guests. 645 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: The answer is absolutely a school choice as unprecedented momentum 646 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 2: like we have never seen before. Parents want it around 647 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 2: the country. We know that our education scores around America 648 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 2: have been falling precipitiously now for many decades. Despite our 649 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,959 Speaker 2: efforts to put more money in our system, our kids 650 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 2: are just not learning at the levels they need. To 651 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 2: let me also know from twenty five years of doing 652 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: this that when you give a parent choice and you 653 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 2: allow them to put their child in the school of 654 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: their chew, whether it be a public school, private school, 655 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 2: or a homeschool, we see our parents and we see 656 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 2: their kids doing incredibly well academically, emotionally, socially, and so 657 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 2: much more so. School choice is a remarkable concept. Can 658 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: we celebrate it this week in National School Choice Week 659 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: and we encourage people around the country to get behind 660 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 2: this effort, which we believe is the most important way 661 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 2: to improve America. 662 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 5: Well, I have to agree with you, But for those 663 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 5: who do not know what school choice means, it can 664 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 5: mean different things to different people in different parts of 665 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 5: the country. What percentage of you know, students from I 666 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 5: guess kindergarten through grade twelve? What percentage of those students, 667 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 5: if you know, have elected school choice or are their 668 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 5: parents have helped them choose school choice? 669 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 2: Well, what I can say is that we've seen a 670 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: growth in school choice where thirty states in the country 671 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: now offers some form of school choice. And that's a 672 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: wonderful thing. That means that the legislatures and governors across 673 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 2: the country are passing tax credit programs or what we 674 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 2: call education savings accounts. But the sad reality is that 675 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 2: thousands are still being left behind. So even though we 676 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 2: have more school choice than ever, it's a fraction of 677 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: what it needs to be. And that's why we are 678 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 2: very enthusiastic about the new federal school Choice tax Credit Bill, 679 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: which was actually put into law last year in the 680 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 2: big beautiful bill assigned by President Trump. This won't allow 681 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 2: all fifty states in the country to have federal schoolchure 682 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: choice where individuals who pay taxes, those who make money 683 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 2: actually have the ability to claim a tax credit of 684 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: to seventeen hundred when they donate to programs like ASE scholarships. 685 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 2: It's a beautiful way to get more involved in doing 686 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: sure that more kids in the country can go to 687 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: great schools. 688 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 5: Okay, most people are not going to understand exactly what 689 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 5: you're talking about, so therefore, let me try to help 690 00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 5: you and let me try to break it down a 691 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 5: little bit. Most kids think that the default public education mechanism, 692 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 5: obviously is public schools. Now, in Massachusetts, you do have 693 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 5: the ability to move your child from one school district 694 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 5: to another if that school district will accept your child. 695 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 5: But school choice is not really available in Massachusetts, and 696 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 5: I'm sure that we are one of the twenty states 697 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 5: where it is not available. 698 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: And that's correct. School choice in Massachusetts. As quite women said, now, 699 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 2: one of your neighboring states, New Hampshire, has a robust 700 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 2: school choice program. 701 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you. 702 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 2: For that, Thank you very much for that great leadership here. 703 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 2: We admired that so much. But you know, you have 704 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 2: an opportunity in Boston to call upon your elected officials. 705 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. If your child is doing well 706 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 2: in their public school, they're going to stay in that school. 707 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 2: But if they're not doing well and they're looking for 708 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 2: an alternative, that's when parents are seeking for an option 709 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: for their kids to go to a school that's going 710 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: to be right for them. So in America, the most 711 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 2: amazing country in the world, we have choices in every 712 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 2: aspect of our lives, from the schools that we choose 713 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: to go to. In college, I should say, if you 714 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 2: have the economic means, that car, you buy the clothing. 715 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 2: But when it comes to K S three twelve education, 716 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: you're limited by your government zip code, school that you're 717 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: in and if you're poor family, that means you do 718 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 2: not have the option to move to another school, and 719 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 2: we do come in school districts and public schools whether 720 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 2: they're educating our kids, those tend to be more in 721 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 2: wealthy and middle income neighborhoods, but poor families they're really 722 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 2: the ones who are truly getting the raw into the deal. 723 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 5: My recollection is that two cities that have provided school choice, 724 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 5: which is a good thing to students in urban areas, Cleveland, Ohio, 725 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 5: and Washington, d C. 726 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 8: Does that still. 727 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 2: Hold Cleveland does. Cleveland has a robust program and they 728 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 2: were actually one of the original Boucher programs in the 729 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 2: early two thousands along with Milwaukee. And choice is more 730 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 2: limited in DC these days unfortunately. 731 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 5: Well that's unless you're a United States senator if you 732 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 5: want to send your kids to Saint Albans or something. 733 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 2: So, yeah, there's so much irony, and you know exactly 734 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 2: what's going on there, because you're right, there's too many 735 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 2: elected officials right now that other kids in the finest schools, 736 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 2: they do not skimp on their children, but they won't 737 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: allow other Americans, hard working Americans, blue collar families. So 738 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 2: we're just trying to get by and put food on 739 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 2: their table. They just want their kids to be educated 740 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 2: so they have a better and easier life than they 741 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 2: have or they're scraping by. And that's the beauty of this. 742 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 2: And we've got countless examples. 743 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 4: And one of the. 744 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: States that I really love is the state of Florida, 745 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 2: where prior to Governor Decientis, they had more limited choice, 746 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,880 Speaker 2: and then Governor Jeb Bush came in and they started 747 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: to really improve that. And then Decientis came and the 748 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 2: improved upon that. Florida was actually in the thirties academically 749 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,760 Speaker 2: in the country, and now they're in the top five 750 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 2: because the governors like Jeff Bush and Decienttis who said 751 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 2: we're going to go all in, and we see that 752 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 2: consistently across the country free a to do their children improve. 753 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 5: Well, if folks want to get more information on school choice. 754 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 5: In Massachusets, by the way, the number of public school 755 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 5: students has dropped precipitously, but the teachers' unions will fight 756 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 5: you tooth and nail on a national school choice.
