I actually sent Clay 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: a little text earlier with a dumpster fire. But I 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: hope that you guys don't really think that. I hope 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I'm actually doing a good job for you. But I 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: am a part of their podcast network here on iHeart. 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: We drop new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

And my next guest, 18 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: I love, Well, it's kind of scary what he tells you, 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: but I love what he tells us because he comes 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: from a place of knowing what's going on because he 21 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: used to work for Coca Cola. He was a consultant 22 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: for Coca Cola, so he has kind of that like 23 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: behind the scenes insight on Big Sugar, I would say. 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: And he's also the founder of a company called True Med. 25 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Callie Means is here with me now, Callie, thanks so 26 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: much for joining the show. 27 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 3: Hey, Happy Thanksgiving. 28 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving to you. 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: And it's almost Christmas and now we're saying Merry Christmas 30 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: because I'm in the Christmas studio. 31 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: I know you have to just accept it. 32 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm in the Christmas studio here in Grand Rapids and 33 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: it is covered in like I'm looking at tinsel all 34 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: over the microphone, so I have to be in the 35 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Christmas spirit. So the house no, I've already been told 36 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: by the kids it is yes, So I know I 37 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: have to get back there and do that. It's probably 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: not gonna happen though, But anyway, let's talk about all 39 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: of the terrifying, scary things you want to tell us 40 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: about about food. I saw your your tweet the other day, 41 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: and so this actually to me. I already said, you know, 42 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm a cancer survivor, so I think that's also a 43 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: reason why I am looking at everything you put out. 44 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: You said, you put this tweet out that said these 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: are the ten leading causes of death in the United States, 46 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: and then said, if we remove three ingredients from our diet, 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: which is added sugar, processed grains, and seed oils, we 48 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: would nearly eliminate them. 49 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: So tell us about that. 50 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, So the three foundations of the American diet. And 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: if you look at even the healthy quote unquote healthy food, 52 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: you know that you had around the table Thanksgiving, you 53 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 3: you almost certainly have these three things snuck in, which 54 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: is added sugar. And we all know about sugar, but 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 3: you know sugar consumption has gone up one hundred x 56 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: and one hundred years. A kid drinking a bottle of 57 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: coke is the amount of sugar they would have gone 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: the entire year just one hundred years ago. 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: That is terrifying. 60 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: There is wild and I think I think our eyes 61 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: gloves over when we talk about sugar. But truly, you know, 62 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: sugar shows up in forty seferent forty seven different names 63 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: on the label. And our food truly is is weaponized. 64 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: It's highly addictive and particularly fruit dose high food dis cornstorup, 65 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: which which particularly shuts off our hundred ques and the 66 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: is want to eat more. So we've weaponized food with Stugger. 67 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: We all know that. But sea oil, this is something 68 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: we're talking more and more about. This is the top 69 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: source of American calories. The top source of American fat 70 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: is seed oil. These were created just one hundred years ago, 71 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 3: actually an industrial byproduct from oil production. It used to 72 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: be used as oil lubrican and created by John D. 73 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: Rockefeller again as a byproduct. This is the top source 74 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: of American fats. So you're almost certainly going to see 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: tonoa oil, soybrean oil, things like that, and all of 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: our food and even baby formula. 77 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: But so I think that I think things made with 78 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: those are I've historically thought that things were healthy because 79 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: they seem healthy because we've been told like. 80 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: Oh, milk is not good for you, drink oat milk. 81 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: But then if I look at the ingredients on oat milk, 82 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: it has all those things in it. 83 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: Well, the point and working for the companies, the point 84 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: of nutrition research is to make us think that ultra 85 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: processed food, that frank and foods are healthy. You know, 86 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 3: there's not a big lobbying group for broccoli, for pasture 87 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: raised meat, you know, for just an actual whole food. 88 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: But we've been convinced that oat milk, which is literally 89 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: you look at it. The second ingredient is canola oil, 90 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: it's literally manufactured processed seed oils is the second ingredient 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: in that. And also somemat of sugar. We've been convinced 92 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: that that's healthy. So we've really been gaslated by the 93 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: nutrition research industrial complex. You need to believe that these 94 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 3: poisons were and they truly are poisons that we're feeding 95 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 3: us so healthy. And the third thing is highly processed grains. 96 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: You're inevitably going to see, you know, some kind of 97 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: process we eat into food. And I think another important 98 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: thing to understand is these highly processed grains where you 99 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: take the fiber off and shelf staple, these things that 100 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: consid on the shelf for years that was just created 101 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: one hundred years ago, and that taking the fiber off 102 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 3: is actually robbing a lot of nutrition and really turns 103 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 3: the sugar in our blood. So the fact is that 104 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: those three ingredients are the foundation of our diet and 105 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: those are not things that were maddep. They're all things 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 3: that were essentially created one hundred years ago that were 107 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: not evolutionarily may deed and they're making us sick. 108 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: Is this unique to our country or is this a 109 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: worldwide problem. 110 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: The amount of our diet in America that's ult process 111 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: food is about sixty percent. In most European countries, it's 112 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 3: about thirty percent. In Japan it's about fifteen percent. So 113 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: through crony capitalism, and this is what I'm really trying 114 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: to call out. Working for the food companies, we don't 115 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: have a free market where we're choosing the food we want. 116 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: We have a rigged market where, for instance, big food 117 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: companies spend eleven times more nutrition research than the NIAH. 118 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: Take those nutrition you know, the bogus nutrition studies which 119 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: say lucky charms are healthier than beef. Yes, studies actually 120 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: say that, commissioned by the NAH. They take that to 121 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: school boards and they take that to the government. And 122 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: now we subsidize Coca Cola, we subsidize sugary cereals and 123 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: things like that on food stamps and on school lunch programs. 124 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: So we're actually subsidizing our own destruction. So that sixty 125 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: percent ultra processed food verse thirty percent in Europe. That's 126 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 3: that's due to the government, the federal treasury paying tens 127 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: of billions of dollars for this ultra process food, which 128 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 3: the loser of course of all this is our kids. 129 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 130 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: Well, so now this story is like we can't change 131 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: our foods. I mean, if you listen to these big 132 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: lobbies and even pharmaceutical I would say that they're kind 133 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: of in bed with the pharmaceutical companies now because it's 134 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: like now you have to have treatments. 135 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 2: They're talking about like. 136 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: In interventions for kids that are overweight, and instead of 137 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: changing what we put in their bodies, we're going to 138 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: put something new in their bodies. 139 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: Like ozembic. 140 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: This is the biggest problem in the country in my opinion, because, 141 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 3: as I said, we're subsidizing this poison for kids where 142 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: we're unpresident and feeding them you know, ultra process very 143 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: toxic diets. We're poisoning them. And then you've got thirty 144 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 3: three percent of keems now having pre diabetes. This was 145 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: unthinkable generation to go. The devil's bargain between food making 146 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 3: us sick and the pharma system profiting is that the 147 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: pharma and the healthcare system doesn't talk about why kids 148 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: are getting sick. They're profiting, right, So the amount of 149 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 3: stands the amount of met Foreman for high blood sugar 150 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: the amount of SSRIs for depression, which is highly associated 151 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: with obesity and diabetes, and now ozempic, which is being 152 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: pushed on twelve year olds for obesity. That's very profitable, right, 153 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: Teaching a kid to eat healthy, teaching them that the 154 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: system's rigged against them a little bit, teaching them they 155 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: have to exercise and eat whole natural food. That's not 156 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: what's being told to them by the medical system. Literally, 157 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: doctors at Harvard now obesity doctors are saying that the 158 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: first line of defense for obese children that's twenty percent 159 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: of teens and fifty percent are overweight. They're saying that 160 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: it's ozempic. They're saying, actually that it's a genetic condition obesity. 161 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: So that gets kids trapped on this treadmill right and 162 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: more profitable. And these are drugs that you take for life. 163 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: You take ozimpic for life, you take the stands for life, 164 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 3: and take that formans for life. And nobody's drawing the 165 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: line that you know the reason kids are you know, 166 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: cancer rates are going up, heart disease rates, everything's going 167 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: up all at once. This is all tied to our 168 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: toxic food. That's not being said. We're being told that literally, 169 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: obesity is an ozempic deficiency. So this is a big 170 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: fight too, because there's a big effort as recently in 171 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: DC and there's two hundred and fifty members of Congress 172 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: who are paid off by the maker of ozempic. It's 173 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: the largest company in Europe now at a Danish company 174 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: that's paying off lawmakers across the board, and they're saying 175 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: that the government needs to subsidize a zempic fifteen thousand 176 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: dollars per year per person, fancy of American adults and 177 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: fifty percent of American teams for or obese. This this 178 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: drug is going to be shoved down your teenagers into 179 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: their arm. 180 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: I know someone. 181 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: I know someone who is taking it just to lose 182 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: weight too. I mean, it's crazy. It's a young woman 183 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: too and just barely just rail thin from taking this drug. 184 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: It's just being pushed on everybody.

But first I want to talk about a 225 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: new and exciting website out there. 226 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: For parents and teachers. 227 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: It's called American Classroom dot com, and we have one 228 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: of the writers. She's a new writer on the scene. 229 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: Her name is Sessia Canzira. I can tell you if 230 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: you read her column that is right there on the 231 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: front page of American Classroom dot Com. It's called Uncharted Waters, 232 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: A navigation guide to sending your first kid to college. 233 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: If you have kids, you know you're going to someday 234 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: have kids leaving the house, whether they go to college, 235 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: or wherever they're going. 236 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 2: This is going to hit you right in the heart. 237 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: I read it and I was sobbing, But it was 238 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: such a good sobbing feeling because I'm like, Okay, I'm 239 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: not alone as a parent who's obsessed with my kids 240 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: and wanting to see them do well. So I want 241 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: to bring Seskia in right now. Sesskia, thanks for joining 242 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: me today. 243 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 5: Thanks for having me tutor. 244 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely so. 245 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: This article, like I said, it just really struck me 246 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: because it's exactly what you need to hear as a parent. 247 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: It gave us permission to grieve our kids. 248 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: And I think at all stages you said something in 249 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: the article that really struck me. It's like you don't 250 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: know when it's the last, and you know that the 251 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: last is coming. But I think that happens at all 252 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: stages of life as a mom, Like it's the last 253 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: time I'm going to rock you to sleep and I 254 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: don't know it. There's all of these, So I think 255 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: at any age, this article is pertinent to your life 256 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: and it gives you permission to be okay with it 257 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: not being okay. 258 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: Definitely. Yeah, it's you don't always know when it's to last. 259 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 5: In my particular case. You know, obviously I knew my 260 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: daughter was leaving for college, which was its own, our 261 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 5: own sort of special torture, knowing it was coming for 262 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 5: a full year with all those laughs. But yeah, you 263 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: never really know, and our children are constantly changing and 264 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 5: we grieve those transitions. 265 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: So I think this is exciting to see what American 266 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: Classroom is doing because it's not only combining news about 267 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: what's happening in schools today, but it's also giving people 268 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: some resources like this. There's a teacher rating system as well, 269 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: which I find interesting because I changed my kids from 270 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: public school to private school in the middle of the pandemic. 271 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: And the reason I did that was because I just 272 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't know what was going to happen. And I don't 273 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: think anybody knew what was going to happen. Our school 274 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: was certainly not prepared to shut down like every other 275 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: school in the nation, and so my kids went home 276 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: and they just got stuck with Google classroom and they 277 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: didn't even zoom. I mean, it was like they were 278 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: out of school and they were depressed, and so we moved. 279 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: But I didn't know what I was moving to. I 280 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: didn't know any of the teachers. I didn't know what 281 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: to expect, and this kind of gives kids and parents 282 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: and a chance to look at the school and see 283 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: what they're in for, right. 284 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah. I mean it's a huge decision how we 285 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 5: educate our children, and sometimes we really feel a little 286 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 5: bit blind, not knowing what we're getting into and what 287 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 5: the options are, and who's going to be teaching our 288 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: children and what the culture of the school is like. 289 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 5: So this is a chance to get on the website 290 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 5: americanclassroom dot com, and we have a rating system that 291 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 5: we're launching for K through twelve teachers where we can 292 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 5: leave a rating for the teacher and the school and 293 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 5: hopefully if enough parents are participating, then we develop this 294 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 5: resource for other parents to make more educated decisions about 295 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 5: a really huge issue facing parents, what to do with 296 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 5: our kids as far as school options go. So this 297 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 5: will be something that can really benefit parents and give 298 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 5: us just more information for this huge decision. 299 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: And you come from this from a place of knowing too, 300 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: because you've been obviously very involved in your kids' school, 301 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: and I think we all are involved in our kids 302 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: learning process, but we are all coming off of a 303 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: really horrific time with the pandemic and making choices for 304 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: our kids that we're trying to get them caught up. 305 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: You went through homeschooling, you've had kids in school, you've 306 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: had kids homeschooled, you've had kids that have had a 307 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: hybrid school. Tell us a little bit about how that 308 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: will be on the website, those resources that people will 309 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: be able to see, these are my different options, because 310 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't even think a lot of people understand hybrid school. 311 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 312 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm working on an article about hybrid schools right now. 313 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 5: So the idea of the website is to just equip 314 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 5: parents with what all is out there. I mean, there 315 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: are so many options in education, and I think the 316 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 5: pandemic really highlighted that we got familiar with the idea 317 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 5: of virtual school and parents started to see that, hey, 318 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: maybe there are some other ways that we can do 319 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 5: this besides just a five day week, traditional brick and 320 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 5: mortar school. So we'll have information about what kind of 321 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 5: options are out there, because yeah, there's lots of parents 322 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 5: who obviously are totally intimidated by the idea of homeschooling, 323 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 5: but I am y, you know, and so for those 324 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 5: of us who and I'm one of them, my kids 325 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 5: are hybrid schools. That means they go just a couple 326 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 5: of days a week to a traditional brick and mortar 327 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 5: setting and get face to face instruction and we work 328 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 5: on the rest of the material at home. So the 329 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 5: website will just offer a lot more information about these 330 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 5: different things that are out there that I think sometimes 331 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 5: parents just aren't aware of. We've kind of I grew 332 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: up in the public school system and that's kind of 333 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 5: all I knew. So when I had my own children, 334 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 5: that's what I did at first, that my first utter 335 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: off to public school, and then kind of thought, wait, 336 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 5: why this is a lot of hour shoots away.

We know that there were 362 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: twenty four released. There were ten released from Thailand with 363 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: Thailand descent, one Filipino and ten are how many we 364 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: had thirteen Israelis I guess also, but no Americans. So 365 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: we've been wondering what the answer was going to be 366 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: that President Biden was asked. So we're going to listen 367 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: to what he had to say about that. 368 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: Now when we're. 369 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: Our first American hostage is being released in sound where 370 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: included today. 371 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 6: We don't know when that will occur, but we're going 372 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 6: to be very expect it to occur. And we don't 373 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 6: know what the list of all the hostages are and 374 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 6: when they'll be released, but we know the numbers who 375 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 6: they're going to be released as as my hope and 376 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 6: expectation will be soon. 377 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, guys, how are we supposed to be 378 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: okay with this? It's his party, it's his people in 379 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: Congress that are coming out and saying there's got to 380 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: be a ceasefire. Why aren't they out there screaming we 381 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: have got to have these hostages released. These are Americans. 382 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: Let me say that again. These are Americans. When you 383 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: see all of these protesters out there, these pro Palestinian protesters, 384 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: remember Americans were killed on October seventh. They were murdered 385 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: by terrorists. And these people didn't know anything about Palestine 386 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: until ten seven occurred, where they came in, paratroopers came in. 387 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: And killed people. 388 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden has been trying to thread the needle 389 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: between his pro Palestinian base and his pro Israel base 390 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: by saying, oh, yeah, we're going to have a ceasefire 391 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: because we want the hostages released. And yet today no 392 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: American hostages were released. And Joe Biden doesn't know when 393 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. But you know what, he thinks 394 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: that this happened because of him. He doesn't think it 395 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: happened because the Hamas group is just massive, crazy, psychotic terrorists. 396 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: He thinks he might have been in the cause of this. 397 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: So listen to Joe Biden talking about how it was 398 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: maybe because he was working with Saudi Arabia. 399 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 6: I cannot prove what I'm about to say, but I 400 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 6: believe one of the reasons is why Hamas truck when 401 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 6: they did is they knew that I was working very 402 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 6: closely with thea Saudis and others in the region to 403 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 6: bring peace to the region by having recognition of Israel 404 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 6: and Israel's right to exist. 405 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: Gross, how about we give them no excuse. 406 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: He is honestly, how arrogant can he be that he 407 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: would come out and say, I think it was because 408 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: I was working on this deal. 409 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: Do give me a break. 410 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: On top of the fact that you do not make 411 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: an excuse for terrorists to go in, kill women, kill children, 412 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: kill fathers in front of their children, rape children, rape women. 413 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: That's what happens. 414 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: When did we decide to forget that this terror attack 415 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: that killed twelve hundred people took two hundred and forty 416 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: people hostage. We're getting twenty four back out today. The 417 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: Israelis are and none of those are Americans. 418 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: But he's I guess he's even going to. 419 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: Take credit for the hostages that did come out, because 420 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: he's taken a victory lap. 421 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 422 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 6: From the moment of mass kidnapped these people, I along 423 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 6: with my team have worked around the clock to secure 424 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 6: the release. We saw the first results of this effort 425 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 6: with the release of two American hostages in late October, 426 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 6: followed by the release of two Israeli hostages. I've consistently 427 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 6: pressed for a pause in the fighting for two reasons, 428 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 6: to accelerate and expand humanitarians that's going into Gaza, and 429 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 6: two to facilitate the release of hostages. And over the 430 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 6: past several weeks, I've spoke repeatedly with the Amyor of Cutter, 431 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 6: the Presidency of Egypt, and Prime Minister now of Israel 432 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 6: to help secure this deal to nail it down, and 433 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 6: I want to thank all three leaders for their personal 434 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 6: partnership to get this done. 435 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: Do you trust this guy? I mean he's reading that statement. 436 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: He's reading it because he's stumbling on ntting Yeah, whose name? 437 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: Did he really work with these people? He can't even 438 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: come out and talk about it. If he was so 439 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: involved in this discussion, you don't have to read it. 440 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, folks, you don't. 441 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: If you are this heavily involved with the leaders who 442 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: are trying to get people out, you don't have to 443 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: have somebody script it for you. You know, you don't have 444 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: to stumble on ntting Yah, whose name? 445 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: You know? 446 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: This is not true? This man has not been working 447 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: hard on this. Maybe his team has been working on this. 448 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: But if you were working hard as the American president, 449 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: then when the big release of a higher number of 450 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: hostages comes out, you would have American hostages that were released. 451 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: Do not get sucked in to what this man is saying. 452 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: He is failing on so many levels as president. And 453 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: just so you know, we have to be aware of 454 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: what's going on in China once again, because the Democrats 455 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: are so in love with China, you know, Gavin Newsom 456 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: thought it would be a great way to show you 457 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: that he can be president by buddying up to China. 458 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: Remember he was playing basketball, knocking little kids down, and 459 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: he thought that would. 460 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: Be so wonderful. 461 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: Well, he has lost a lot of his percentage points 462 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: with the American people. But you need to know this 463 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: because right now there's another flu in China. There's something 464 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: that's making kids sick. Right now, kids are getting desperately 465 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: behind here in the United States because of the last 466 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: something that got kids sick called COVID. But now there's 467 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: some mysterious pneumonia that sounds familiar, but this one's actually 468 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: hitting kids. So this is why I feel like we 469 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: really need to be aware of this because in China 470 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: they say that the hospitals are overwhelmed with six sick children. 471 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: They have an alert issue through this large database called ProMED, 472 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: an Alert of Undiagnosed Pneumonia in children. They say that 473 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: they're presenting to hospitals with symptoms including high fever and 474 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: inflammation of the lungs, but no cough, Like I mean, 475 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: do you know your kid has an inflammation of lungs? 476 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: So I guess if your kid has a high fever. 477 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: You need to start worrying about this, And just so 478 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: happens to be the time when kids are getting sick anyway, 479 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: So not to freak you out, but these kids are hospitalized, 480 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: they have a cough, and they don't have a cough, 481 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: they have no their symptoms, just the high fever, and 482 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: then they develop these pulmonary nodules, which I don't know 483 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: what that actually means for them, but it doesn't sound good. 484 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 2: It sounds terrifying. 485 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: And you know how the Democrats handle this when something 486 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: like this happens. Instead of shutting down the airports and 487 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 1: saying we're not going to bring people in from China, 488 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: they're going to shut down our schools again. But I 489 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: really wondering how they're going to think that's going to 490 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: work out for them, because we're now learning we just 491 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: got the results back from learning loss of our kids 492 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: that from the first shutdown of schools, and it took 493 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: fifty million kids out of the classrooms. This took fifty million, 494 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: fifty million American children out of the classroom, and it 495 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: really has done incredible damage to our kids. So now 496 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: we have to say, well, do we trust these people 497 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: that are buddying up to China. I mean, do you 498 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: trust the government in general? Did you know that now 499 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: they're telling the folks in the military who were released, 500 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say released, discharged from the military, and they 501 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: were booted. They were booted for violating a lawful order 502 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: for not taking the coronavirus vaccine. So anybody who didn't 503 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: take the vaccine who was in the military got kicked out. 504 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: Remember that.

They're favoring one group over the other. 572 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 7: And I don't think real women in this country understands that. 573 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: Why do you think that people aren't voting against this though? 574 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean and like I said, it's not working politically. 575 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: Politicians aren't getting on board with this. 576 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 7: They're not getting up board because they're not getting. 577 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 3: Paid to get on board. 578 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 7: Politics is a dearly game. If you want anything done 579 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 7: in this country, you have to buy a politician. I 580 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 7: hate to say that the problem is that there is 581 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 7: not a powerful women's lobbying group the men. You come 582 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 7: up with a powerful women's lobbying group, then they have 583 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 7: no choice but to listen because they know if they 584 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 7: want your money, they have to pass the bill. And 585 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 7: if they don't pass the bill, you're not gonna give 586 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 7: them the money, and they're not gonna be voting in office. 587 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 7: I think one of the best things to do is 588 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 7: if this radio states you can have a town home 589 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 7: meeting with President Trump and Clarence Thomas, who is a 590 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 7: Supreme Court justice. And since they like to pick on 591 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 7: Clarence Thomas all the time, it Trump vows to make 592 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 7: women's right the law of the land, the same thing 593 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 7: that being with gay rights. Trump will win in the landslide. 594 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: Mike, I hate the heteroc I think that I think 595 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: you're saying things that we need people to hear.

First thing I want to do 619 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 4: is say thank you for your efforts in twenty twenty two. 620 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 4: Truly disappointed on the results and across the state of 621 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: Michigan for that matter. I'm still a believer about how 622 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 4: twenty twenty went, and I think there were some things 623 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 4: that were brought forward about what was going on in Muskegon. 624 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: Michigan to the west of view where I am. 625 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 4: Exactly, and the things I hear on some of the 626 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 4: programming that i'd listened to kind of makes me no 627 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 4: or even more belief about how our administration, not only 628 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 4: here in Michigan is going down at Gravel Road, but 629 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 4: how our administration in Washington is well. 630 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: Unit you heard some of the stuff we talked about 631 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: earlier with Michigan, with the gun laws. They are passing 632 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: these crazy laws and you have to be careful with 633 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: what they're doing. So Michigan has a majority of Democrats, 634 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: but they just lost their majority in the House. 635 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw that. 636 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitberg just sneakily said just before Thanksgiving, Oh, we're 637 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: going to have the deadline to be run in those 638 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: districts on Monday of next week. Monday of next week 639 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: you have to file by because this is the way 640 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: Democrats do things. It's very sketchy, but I will say 641 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: I think that Republicans have to get it together to run. 642 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: And I know what you're saying about twenty twenty, and 643 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: know what you're saying about twenty two. But let me 644 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: tell you from somebody who ran my we are not 645 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: doing things the way we should be doing things. We're 646 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: not advertising, we're not getting the message out the way 647 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: we should be. And the more we say, well, we've 648 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: always done it this way, the more we will lose. 649 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: And that has got to change on the Republican side. Now, 650 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: I want to get to John who's in Emerald, Texas, 651 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: because he has something to say to people who are 652 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: in the military. John, are you there. 653 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, Hi, Tudor, thank you for taking my call.
