We're going to see how this 15 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.760 thing plays out. I'm looking forward to this. But that's just a week. 16 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.959 A week away Trump versus Biden. It sounds crazy to think here we 17 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.799 are not even to July and we're already having debates. I feel like I'd 18 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.840 have to go back and look, but I feel like we're August or September 19 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.319 is when most of most debates typically begin to take place. Maybe not till 20 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.319 September. I'd have to look. I know it's definitely not June, that's 21 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:53.000 for sure. Anyway, So we've got this coming up here in a week, 22 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.519 and the media is already getting out in front of this. I love 23 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.120 this. I love this in ways I can't fully explain to you. This 24 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.040 is at nbcnews dot com. This is where we're going to start today today, 25 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.800 why presidents often struggle in their first re election debates, and how Biden 26 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.479 is getting ready. They're already setting the bar low. It's like they're saying, 27 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.080 we know what's about to happen, we know what's about to happen, 28 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.599 and so we'd better get out in front of this to make sure we don't 29 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.159 we minimize the damage here. So we're setting the expectation that Biden is going 30 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:37.159 to struggle, and they're going to go through this lengthy article here series of 31 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:43.240 explanations to explain. This is lengthy. This thing is a lengthy a lengthy 32 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.039 article. They want you to think, Hey, this is common, this 33 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:53.000 is what happens. All great presidents, all great presidents have this problem. 34 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.080 So just be prepared. He's going to struggle. But there's a reason for 35 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.000 this. It's just that the guys out there busy being president, right, 36 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.560 he can't. It's got It takes some gear shifting to get back into the 37 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.159 campaign mode. Give me a break. That's all these folks are concerned with 38 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.879 anyway. Campaign campaign campaign, So we'll talk about that when we start. 39 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:14.639 Before we get really rocket and rolling here, let me tell you, my 40 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.120 friends, that if you're looking for a natural health supplement or a series of 41 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.199 health supplements to take care of your body, right, I mean, this 42 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:27.479 is our responsibility, our responsibility.

Again the headline here Nbcnews dot com. 58 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.639 This is in the stack of stuff on the website at todtufshow dot com. 59 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.959 Why presidents often struggle in their first re election debates and how Biden is getting 60 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.519 ready. Presidents have to shake off years of deference in the oval office when 61 00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.399 they're finally confronted by their opponents in high stakes debate. So if I could 62 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.319 just give you the quick summary of this. The summary is, look, 63 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.959 these guys get elected president, they then go into the White House. They're 64 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.279 the big dog, right, They're running the show, they're calling the shots. 65 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.199 They whatever they say really goes. Yeah, there might be some people 66 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.240 that are pushing back and questioning them, that are advisors and people in their 67 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.879 cabinet and everything else, but these folks don't have to answer to anybody. 68 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.800 This is a business meeting. They're the people that are in charge. They're 69 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.560 out there just leading and being president. And so you gotta shift gears. 70 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.399 You gotta shift gears to be able to move from that mentality. You gotta 71 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.160 be moved from that mentality where everyone defers to you, everyone says mister President, 72 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.959 and they're super respectful and everything else. You're running the show in the 73 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:53.959 oval office. And now you're on the debate stage and you're being taunted by 74 00:05:54.439 --> 00:06:00.120 you're being taunted by President former President Trump. You're being called names like sleepy 75 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.519 Joe or whatever else he's gonna call him in these debates. And so the 76 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.040 narrative is, you're just not ready for this. Let me stop all this 77 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.279 nonsense. Number one, Number one, sleepy Joe President Bribery is not the 78 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.800 one that's in there running the show in these meetings. You know that that's 79 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:24.800 the effect. You know that Biden, he's the person who technically has the 80 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.800 power, But I don't know that he even knows that he has the power 81 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:36.879 to wield. He is just a figurehead. He's not the one who's out 82 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.079 there driving these meetings. I'm not even sure he's asleep in these meetings. 83 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.800 I'm not even sure he's a physically present for these meetings. Remember the G 84 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.240 seven. We just talked about this this week, the G seven, these 85 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.360 other world leaders. Remember I commented on this. I said, how can 86 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:59.360 any world leader be surprised when they meet Biden and see just how little the 87 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.879 guy does, how ill prepared he is, how unlikely he is to even 88 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:08.319 stay awake at meetings? Why is this surprising to anyone? Why were they 89 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.519 surprised that he wandered off from photo ops? Why they shouldn't have been None 90 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:16.480 of this should have been surprising. In another sense, they weren't completely taken 91 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:23.519 off guard because they were prepared to constantly reach out and touch Biden and say, 92 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.160 hey, we got to go this way, buddy, Hey, the 93 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.120 camera's over here. Turn this way. You know, you quit calling the 94 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.800 ducks back there, quit you know, whistling, and you know, just 95 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.199 looking off into the sunset. You got to pay attention over here. They 96 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.959 had to do all that kind of stuff, and they knew that, but 97 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.240 it was even worse, according to reports. It was even worse. They 98 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:49.680 didn't expect it to be quite as bad as it really was, according to 99 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.319 reports. Anyway, so we know everybody knows this guy is not the one 100 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.839 calling the shots. This guy's not the one running the show. He's The 101 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.720 problems that he's going to have on the debate stage have nothing to do with 102 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.279 this. This is living in a fantasy world. Megan Lebalwitz, who is 103 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:13.360 the author of this piece that I'm referencing here, This is completely delusional. 104 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.439 This is designed. This is designed to reach the people who still take the 105 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.439 media seriously with a message with an idea that says, hey, let me 106 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.040 just tell you right now, you better be prepared. Biden's not going to 107 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.920 do well. But there's a reason. There's a reason he's not going to 108 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.480 do well, and it's that he's used to being the big man on campus. 109 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.639 He's not used to being up here being heckled by Trump, and every 110 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.559 time I don't know, I mean, what's Trump going to do? I 111 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.320 don't know, and it's I'm I'm like you, I'm looking forward to it. 112 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.840 I'm looking forward to Trump calling this this crap out. I am. 113 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.080 I'm looking forward to Trump doing his best to let the world see what's really 114 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.240 going on with his political opponent, Joseph rob that bribery. But they're trying 115 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.200 to make you think, Hey, don't set your expectations high. Who has 116 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.000 high expectations? Raise your hand if you have high expectations for Biden in this 117 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.960 upcoming debate. I think most people, most people are fifty to fifty whether 118 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.679 or not he can get through the full ninety minutes without having a major, 119 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:26.080 major breakdown, major just collapse mentally. I think that's what most people are 120 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:33.679 asking themselves. Can this guy go a full ninety minutes without just utterly collapsing? 121 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.840 You know, what are they going to do to this guy to get 122 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.639 him ready for this? Let's look at what this thing says this article. 123 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.799 Life as the commander in chief is in a sort of protected bubble, says 124 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.679 Alan Schroeder, a presidential debate historian. Oh yes, we've got We've got 125 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.960 a historian who focuses on presidential debates. It's four years of people saying, 126 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.000 mister president's a Democrat strategist to put it. Then comes the first debate of 127 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.639 a reelection. Camp pain, when the shock of personal confrontation with the hungry 128 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.720 adversary has for decades led presidents to lose or perform poorly in their initial matchup, 129 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:16.240 putting their chances of a second term in doubt. It's a trend. 130 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.679 President Joe Biden will be focused on cutting short next week, give me a 131 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.279 break, give me a break, focused on He's focused on surviving this debate 132 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.200 is what he's focused on. If they can have this debate er at two 133 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:39.000 am and only be covered on you know, some news outlet and Azerbaijan or 134 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.960 something, that's their preference. If they could somehow avoid having any of these 135 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.279 debates that would be their preference, they know they have to do them. 136 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:56.960 Biden is not looking to change this. Well. The argument here, what 137 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.639 this narrative is, which is President's currently don't do well on debates. He's 138 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.120 not looking at stopping that. He's basically looking at surviving the debate. That's 139 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.240 really what it comes down to. He and former President Donald Trump will meet 140 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.360 in Atlanta for the debate on CNN next week. While Trump, Trump's gonna 141 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.720 try this, says, to knock Biden back, like so many challengers before 142 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.919 him. So so basically, it's kind of a given. The expectations they 143 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.360 want you to think are Look, Trump's gonna knock Biden back. Biden's gonna 144 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.799 not be ready. This is normal. This is normal. I guess it's 145 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.639 also normal to have someone in the White House who face plants after giving speeches. 146 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.879 I guess it's also normal in the White House. To excuse me, 147 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:45.120 to have someone in the White House who, while biking and standing straddled across 148 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:48.480 the bicycle, tumbles over and face plants on the ground. I guess those 149 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.840 are normal things. I guess it's normal to have someone in the White House 150 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.360 reading from the teleprompter and reading not the words he's supposed to stay, but 151 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:03.120 the cues like pause or lap or whatever else that this teleprompter says that he's 152 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.720 not supposed to read. That they've probably taken off the teleprompter at this point. 153 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.480 They probably know whatever we put up there. This guy is going to 154 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.039 say, so, don't give him any direction. Just let him stand there 155 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.759 and look like a crazy lunatic just staring into space. That's better than him 156 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.720 reading the word pause or whatever it is, whatever they've put on that teleprompter. 157 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.960 And so that's the expectations they're setting the bar, I would say, 158 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.200 just a tad bit low. It's a tad bit low because Biden's expectations or 159 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.000 that he, you know, is that he's going to do terrible. Trump's 160 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.919 expectations or that he's going to do well. That's what this article says. 161 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.960 And they're preparing for this. This is what everybody knows. Nobody expects anything 162 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.200 different to come from this. Nobody does anyway. That's what they're doing. 163 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.919 That's and again you can read this full that's the summary of the full article. 164 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.519 The full article is how every president deals with this, Folks. There 165 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.440 is not a president you can compare Joseph Robinett Bribery too. There's not a 166 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:13.080 president. No one has had this level of just absolute collapse mentally in the 167 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.919 office. Nobody has. I know, in Reagan's second term there were always 168 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.639 there was discussion about dimension and Alzheimer's and that sort of thing. But nothing, 169 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:31.399 nothing remotely close to this. Biden is absolutely aware of next to nothing 170 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.519 that's going on in the White House. Whatever picture they're painting here, don't 171 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.440 buy it because well, even if it's a Hunter Biden painting, Hunter Biden 172 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.639 paying that you, you know, it's worth five million dollars, you still 173 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.480 shouldn't buy it. They'll probably a praise if Biden is re elected presidents of 174 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.759 fifty million dollars. You still shouldn't buy it because it's not in any way, 175 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.720 shape, manner, or form rooted in reality. This is not at 176 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.559 all what's going on here. That's what they want you to think. So, 177 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.000 my friends, Harvard Gold Group, you know that they're a partner of 178 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:13.799 ours on this program.

That's all all. That's okay. 186 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.759 That's why Harvard Gold Group is here. That's why we share a little 187 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.919 bit about them with you on this program because if you're looking for these things, 188 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.440 if you just want to learn more, there's no obligation you can have. 189 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.240 You can have a free consultation with them and talk about how they might 190 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.440 be able to help you, why these investments are worth your while at least 191 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.799 considering and potentially seeing if it's a fit for your portfolio.

Talk with them 197 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.879 about precious metals, learn a little bit more about what this could look like 198 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.679 for you, if it makes sense for your portfolio, and if it does. 199 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.320 If it does, you give them my named Todd and you're going to 200 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.960 get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit to start that investment with Harvard Gold 201 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.879 Group.

So the expectations are 204 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.759 low here, my friends, for the Biden administration, the Biden team, 205 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.399 the Biden campaign as they move into move into this well, really, what's 206 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.200 the beginning of the home stretch of this election? Right of this campaign, 207 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.559 I should say. So, we've got the debates next week, We've gotten 208 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.080 not too far off in the distance, still a little ways up, but 209 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:41.080 not too far in the distance. These Democratic Convention, the Republican Convention where 210 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.080 the candidates will be named. Of course, we've got still waiting on to 211 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.399 see who Trump's VP choice is going to be. He's been teasing that, 212 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:56.279 maximizing as much of the publicity of the buzz that he can and kind of 213 00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.440 teasing these things. So those things are coming in the not too distant So 214 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.639 we're in this little period of time, this little period of time where it's 215 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.839 kind of the calm before the final storm, the final push. And you 216 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.440 know, as I've shared, this is going to get intense. It's going 217 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.759 to get intense. I've shared this before. I'm going to share it again 218 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.400 in case, in case you haven't heard this, or in case you're of 219 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.640 the belief that you just want to get through this campaign season. Folks, 220 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.160 it's just let me tell you, that's just the wrong way to look at 221 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:27.680 it. I understand. I understand that you desire a return to normalcy. 222 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.799 I do too, in a way I do. I mean, this stuff's 223 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.759 important to me. I like talking about it. There's never a shortage of 224 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.160 things to talk about on this show, that's for sure. But there's a 225 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:44.079 side of me that kind of longs for a return to the days where we 226 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.720 didn't have to have these intense fights constantly. But folks, those days are 227 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.400 over. Those days are over. I remember back in twenty sixteen. I 228 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.160 remember people saying, I can't wait until this election's over. Hillary versus Trump, 229 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:02.119 Trump versus Hillary, all this nakedivity, all of this name calling, 230 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.559 all of this just tension around the country. I understand it. I do, 231 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.599 Folks. At my core, I feel like I'm a peacemaker like you. 232 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:17.319 Know, like a lot of you are. I don't go looking for 233 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.000 conflict, but there are things worth fighting for. I don't shy away from 234 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.319 the conflict or anything like that. But in general, it's good to just 235 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.920 be able to live at peace. But my friends, we've reached a point 236 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:32.720 in this country where it's impossible. It's impossible to live at peace. I 237 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:37.440 mean, look on a personal level, right, I mean, biblically speaking, 238 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.200 I believe that you can live at peace. But I mean I mean 239 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.519 that we're in a culture war and that doesn't have to impact you internally. 240 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:52.440 But the idea that that's going to go away after after November's election is candidly 241 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.960 beyond naive. And I say that with the utmost respect. If someone sees 242 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.359 it that way, that's not what's happening here. As I've said before, 243 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.960 as Reagan said, freedom is always only a single generation away from the possibility 244 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:15.839 of extinction. We don't just naturally pass along to our children via our DNA 245 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.319 this understanding of freedom. They don't have built within them the tools, the 246 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:32.359 the the ability to maintain that freedom on their own. We have an obligation 247 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.880 of responsibility to explain it to them, to give them the tools to defend 248 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.440 it. You know, as I say these things, I'm reminded. I 249 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:45.920 mean, I'm reminded of how God told the Israelites to be sure to share 250 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.759 their story with their children. Right as you walk along and go about your 251 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.720 day to day lives, as you as you go about your business, as 252 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.000 you do things as a family, have these, you know, have have 253 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.400 these markers, have them, have an American flag flying this as an example. 254 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.599 You don't have to. I'm just saying, have a picture of the 255 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.279 founding fathers on the wall, something whatever it is for you and your children. 256 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.279 The last Dad, what's that about? Mom? Why are we Why 257 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:15.920 are we saying the pledge of allegiance or whatever it is? Why do we 258 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.559 stand? We stand? We stand? In my household do we do when 259 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.200 the national anthem plays? If we're watching a sporting event? We stand? 260 00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.119 And you know the kids would ask me at first, Dad, why do 261 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.359 we stand? And you have that opportunity to explain it. Now. Some 262 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.400 people think that, think that's cheesy. Heck, if I'm at a restaurant, 263 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.839 I do that. I stand for the anthem. So but it gives 264 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.000 you the opportunity to share the story, and that's how these things are passed 265 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.880 along. Now, I note for a lot of people, they think, 266 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.880 you know, I'm looking to persuade millions. I'm looking to get lots of 267 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.519 people to listen to what I have to say. I'm not really interested in 268 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.559 just you know, teaching my kids, but my friends, that is that's 269 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.599 the number one priority. That's the number one priority. And what would happen, 270 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.559 by the way, what would happen if more people took that responsibility? 271 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:11.920 Seriously, if we weren't so numb with busyness running from here to their sporting 272 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.480 events, performances, trainings, and none of those things are bad, don't 273 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.799 misunderstand me. But what if we carved out a little time to say, 274 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.599 hey, this is in fact, my friends, my children, this is 275 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.200 why we have what we have, This is why we have this ability to 276 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:33.839 live this type of lifestyle. Freedom is not something that you just acquired through 277 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:41.039 the bloodstream. In fact, left to their own devices, people typically drift 278 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.400 towards governments that take more control because they promise so many things that sound good 279 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.279 to people. They promise peace and prosperity. And what do they bring? 280 00:21:52.319 --> 00:22:00.079 They bring? Tyranny they bring, they bring, sadness, they bring a 281 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:04.240 loss of dreams, a loss of opportunity. That's what these ideas bring. 282 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:11.920 Big government ideas, constitutional conservatism, liberty do not. They bring opportunity. 283 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.119 They bring the ability for the brain, for the heart to dream and to 284 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.640 aspire and to work hard and to see the fruit of your labor. My 285 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.160 friends, that's what this election is about. Those things are not going away 286 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:30.279 the day after the election. We have one group of people that has gone 287 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.640 all in on a worldview that is diametrically opposed to what I've just shared with 288 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.279 you. And it's a battle that's being fought in the government, but it's 289 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.880 also being fought in entertainment. It's also being fought in science. That's the 290 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.440 thing. You can find your own little front to fight this battle. It 291 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.680 exists across at least seven fronts, which we call the seven pillars of propaganda. 292 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.960 Anyway, I've got to take a break. We're gonna shift gears a 293 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.240 bit. On the other side of the break, continue our discussion here today, 294 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.480 my friends. You're listening to conservative not better talk. I'm your host, 295 00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:07.079 Ti Huff Back in just a minute. Come back, my friends. 296 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:10.759 So, a couple of other things I want to get to here, as 297 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:19.400 the program comes together here today. Two things. One one is that Union 298 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:25.920 voters. So we know that Hispanic voters are moving to Trump. We know 299 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.240 that the Black vote is moving to Trump. I don't mean that he's going 300 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.839 to have a majority of it. I just mean that the numbers are shifting 301 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.559 people from these Again, I don't like to think about these groups like this, 302 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.839 but they're moving from Biden to Trump. And now there's reports and of 303 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:47.000 course this is this is the one that should be I don't know, just 304 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:52.359 a no brainer. A no brainer to me is Union voters are now shifting 305 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.680 to Trump. I'm going to share that this is actually well, I'm going 306 00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.279 to share a little bit of personal this is something I can My dad was 307 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.079 a union, a Union representative. I grew up in a Union household. 308 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.119 So I feel like I know a lot of these Union guys. I know 309 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.039 them through my dad. I don't know some of them super well, but 310 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.440 I've got to be around some of them. There were things I remember. 311 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.880 They would have basketball tournaments when I was still in high school, and I 312 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.359 would go up and be the scorekeeper. So I saw these guys and was 313 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.000 around these guys and watch these guys and listen to these guys and so forth, 314 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:34.079 and they're conservative people. They just vote Democrat because they're afraid. They're 315 00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:38.279 afraid that Republicans are trying to take away their paychecks. So I want to 316 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.599 talk about that before I do. My friends, if you're currently a smoker, 317 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:48.240 you're currently chew tobacco, if you're currently vape.

So I was raised in a Union Democrat household. I 338 00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.880 had a bit, if I can share for a moment, I had a 339 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.880 bit of a what I would consider a leave it to Beaver upbringing. I 340 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.799 mean I did. I was fortunate my friends. I had two parents who 341 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:40.000 were highly involved in my life, close to them now. I love them 342 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.640 with all my heart. I'm very blessed, very very blessed by not just 343 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.240 parents. I mean I've got a great brother, I've got I have had 344 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:53.119 great grandparents. I've just had a blessing of tremendous people in my family whom 345 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.960 I love greatly. I truly do. I'm grateful for them. And the 346 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.680 older you get, the more you realize it. There was times I didn't 347 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.359 realize and I didn't realize how fortunate that I was to have this. But 348 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.240 my dad always, you know, coached us in sports. He worked with 349 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.000 us. He'd you know, throw baseball with us, throw football with us, 350 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.319 play basketball with us. That is until we started beating him and he 351 00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.559 didn't want any part. He didn't want any part of that anymore. But 352 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.680 he was always there. I remember he came to my practices right he worked. 353 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.759 He would go in super early to work there. He was a union 354 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.279 representative as I was in high school, and someone always had to be there 355 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.200 from the union, and it was a twenty four hour you know, people 356 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.640 working all the time. So he would go in early so that he could 357 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:38.440 come and watch me practice practice. I'm talking practice, Alan Iverson, were 358 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:48.319 talking about practice. Man. He came to practice to watch us, and 359 00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.480 I was blessed. Mom. My mom stayed at home, she was a 360 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.039 homeroom mom. I don't even know how that works today. The other thing 361 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.640 I want to get to today is some some news on homeschool, which we'll 362 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:03.799 get to in the last segment. But homeschool wasn't We didn't homeschool, but 363 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:10.119 my mom was constantly involved in in our classrooms as a kid. She was 364 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:14.200 always there for the you know, Christmas parties or the whatever, Valentine's Day, 365 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.440 all those things, bringing cookies, all that stuff, field trips. 366 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.279 She was there, she was home. She kept us, you know, 367 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.160 kept us disciplined. I mean she would when I was in elementary school, 368 00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:27.599 you know, got us off the bus, maybe we'd have a snack, 369 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.079 but we had to get that homework done before we did anything else. I 370 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.400 mean, just I was blessed my friends. In fact, I honestly this 371 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.039 is going to sound maybe a little bit naive, but at the risk at 372 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.000 the risk of setting naive, I don't think I really began to understand how 373 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:47.160 blessed I was in that regard, just with having wonderful family, parents that 374 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.440 were involved and cared about me. I don't think I knew that until I 375 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.640 started running. I ran a boys and girls club for a while, and 376 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.759 I saw what some of these kids went through, and it was an eye 377 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:00.880 opening experience for me, It really was. I remember there were a couple 378 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:04.440 of kids they had won. We had an event that was funded by a 379 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.000 grant and it was called the Shuffle. And this is going to date me 380 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.920 a little bit. We would when kids would come, they could enter into 381 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.640 a drawing to win an iPod shuffle back in the day, the little iPod 382 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:22.119 shuffles. And I remember this pair of brothers both won an iPod, both 383 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.880 of them, each of them won an iPod shuffle, and they started coming 384 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.000 on a regular basis, and they were teenagers. And I got to have 385 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.880 a pretty decent relationship with these fellas, and I remembered them asking me a 386 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.960 couple months later, maybe six months later, Hey, Todd, when are 387 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.519 you going to do another drawing for iPod shuffles? And I said, well, 388 00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:41.279 you know, we had a grant for that, and we don't really 389 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.880 have that now, and we're not living high on the hog here at the 390 00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.359 club, so I don't know that we're going to do that. I said, 391 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.400 besides, both of you guys won, where are your iPod shuffles? 392 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.720 And they told me true story, my friends, They said to me, 393 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.960 we had to sell our iPod shuffles to bail our mom out of jail, 394 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.400 and I was shocked. I didn't know. I couldn't relate to that, 395 00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.599 And so it was because because I had. And I don't mean this in 396 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:08.440 any way. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that this makes me 397 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.680 bet. This doesn't make me better any This makes me fortunate, is what 398 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:18.119 it makes me. I didn't have to worry about those things as some people 399 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.200 do, so I had that blessing growing up. My dad was a Union 400 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:29.720 Rep. I shared being around those guys. These are conservative people. They 401 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.400 are they're conservative people. These are pro gun people, meaning that you know, 402 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.000 defend the Second Amendment. These are people who believe in free speech. 403 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.359 You should be able to say what you want. If someone doesn't like it, 404 00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.640 they don't have to listen. Maybe there's an argument. You know, 405 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:48.880 that's fine, these folks, don't. I mean this is these these people 406 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.000 Union Democrats. And if you're out there, if you're a Union Democrat, 407 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:53.119 you have more I'm telling you right now, you have more in common with 408 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.640 me. And I think you know this. You have more in common with 409 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.359 me, infinitely more in common with me then you have in common with someone 410 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:06.079 like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. Remember Chuck Schumer's out there putting cheese on 411 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.839 raw hamburger, thinking that's the point in time that you grill and put your 412 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:14.759 your cheese on top of the raw burger, obviously not knowing you got to 413 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.200 flip the burger over and then what happens to the cheese? I mean, 414 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.559 come on, right, but even beyond that, just ideas and what we 415 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:22.200 believe. I mean, folks, Yeah, I don't want to get too 416 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.559 much into it, but you know, my being raised the way I was, 417 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.200 I mean, and there were I had to work, you know. 418 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.480 I mean, I've I've stacked hay in barns. I've picked sweet corn. 419 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.519 I've torn roofs off, shingles off of roofs. I've fallen through a roof 420 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.880 not completely well, my leg went through, Thank goodness, it was as 421 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.880 far as I went through. I've I've hung vinyl sighting. I've I've laid 422 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.960 shingles, I've framed houses with you know, I had people there that knew 423 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.920 how to do it. I was the help, but I did these things. 424 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.279 I managed a horse farm, right, I shoveled the manure. I've 425 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.759 trimmed fence line. I've painted fences. I've hung Christmas line on the owner's 426 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.519 house on a peak of a roof that I'm telling you it was thirty feet 427 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.000 off the ground. I had to belly crawl out to the end of that 428 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.839 peak to hang those Christmas lights and so but that work ethic, working with 429 00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.079 my hands. It's not what I do today. But I mean, that's 430 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.440 what I did. And I'm telling you telling you the real threat to your 431 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:23.960 union, livelihood, the value of your dollar, the work that you put 432 00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:30.079 in for your family is with ideas that are pushed and peddled by this administration, 433 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.640 by the Democrat Party. They're the ones, these lovers of big government, 434 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.960 are the ones that are making the dollars that you earn worthless. These 435 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:43.359 are the ones who are opening up the border and who are allowing your union 436 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:49.240 jobs or jobs in labor in general to be at risk of going to people 437 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:52.119 who shouldn't even be in this country. The risks, my friends, the 438 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.400 people who want to take away your guns, the people that want to take 439 00:32:55.440 --> 00:33:00.960 away your freedom of speech, who want to censor you online. These are 440 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:05.279 not conservative limited government people. These are leftists, and they find their home 441 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.759 in the Democrat Party. Your home, my friends, really and truly is 442 00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:13.839 as Reagan had the blue dog Democrats back in the day, the Reagan Republicans. 443 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.319 Trump can have the same. Trump can have the same. You should 444 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:21.559 vote for Trump in twenty twenty four. It's a no brainer. I say 445 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.720 that with all due respect. I know sometimes the Democrat you know, the 446 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:30.079 connection to the party can run deep, but they abandon you long long ago. 447 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:31.720 My friends, they don't even care about your vote. You're not radical 448 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:35.839 enough for them. They'll use your vote if you give it to them, 449 00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.200 but they stop trying to give it. They don't care about your life. 450 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:40.640 They don't care about the lives of any of us. Let's just cut down 451 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:44.920 to the chase. They care about their power, they care about their position. 452 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.119 They care about lining their checks. You see, Nancy Pelosi made some 453 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.799 massive amounts off of stock trade the other day. How does this stuff happen? 454 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:52.319 I mean, I leave it up to you to decide, but it's 455 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.720 not because they're protecting you, that's for sure. And I've got to take 456 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:57.960 a break. My friends, sit tight. You listen to any conservative not 457 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:12.280 better talk. I'm your host, Tod Huff back in just a minute. 458 00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:20.599 Welcome back, my friends. Oz was asking what am I doing over here? 459 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:31.159 I actually got I got this month's food food supply from my Phdweight loss 460 00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.760 dot Com. It came yesterday. You can hear I'm looking at I just 461 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:42.559 unpacked this actually during during the break. I've got my salted caramel protein crisps. 462 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:49.639 Those are good. I got some some cereal chocolate peanut butter, and 463 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:54.400 I've got these protein bars. Got vanilla divine, which is good. And 464 00:34:54.480 --> 00:35:00.679 I've got this salted caramel there we go, caramel sea salt vine which is 465 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.320 in there as well. They ship this food to you each and every month. 466 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:08.239 There's a lot of variety. Some of it's very good. I didn't 467 00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:10.280 like all of it. I'm not gonna lie to you. I didn't like 468 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.599 all of the food, and that's okay. They know that. They know 469 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.199 that when they go in, so they let you at first. They send 470 00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:20.960 you kind of a sampling that first month, and then you figure out what 471 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:22.960 you like and then you can order it. I've got my hot chocolate in 472 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:29.000 your hot chocolate's really good, by the way. Got some protein chocolate drinks 473 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.199 and so forth. A lot of stuff in here. I haven't even fruit 474 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:37.800 drinks in here, as well, but this is part of their package. 475 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.599 It's part of what they provide to their customers as they go on their weight 476 00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:50.039 loss journey. We are back away from the microphone. Here we are. 477 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.360 What are we in about? I think this is my third order, so 478 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:57.840 around we must be around eight week eight. Got our first four week supply 479 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:01.159 and then we had our Yeah, so this would be about week eight or 480 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:07.840 approaching week eight. My phdweight loss dot Com is where you can go. 481 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:12.880 Look. We all from time to time may realize, look, I need 482 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.760 to lose some weight. And I got to that point a couple of months 483 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:21.719 ago and been doing this program. I'm down my scales. I broke the 484 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.519 scale. I think I shared that with you. This is where you insert 485 00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:29.960 your fat jokes. But I broke the scale. The scale was well, 486 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:31.559 it needs to be replaced. In fact, I'm getting the new scale. 487 00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:36.320 I think I just got the note saying it was going to be arriving today, 488 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.920 so I'll know more exactly where I stand. But I'm down about at 489 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:45.320 least ten pounds. That's what we were when the scale broke here recently so, 490 00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:50.800 but my PhD Weight Loss has helped us do that. I'm not hungry. 491 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:52.880 It's a good program. They've got a coach that helps each and every 492 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:57.039 week. My coach is Alyssa. She's got a lot to put up with 493 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.440 me. By the way she puts up with me. I'm pretty candid on 494 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:04.920 these things. Alyssa, here's my problem, and I tell her and she's 495 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:07.480 you know, they're resourceful. But I would say that this, uh, 496 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.840 this program is a good fit if you're looking for ways to, you know, 497 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.199 to lose weight. They've got a good program. My PhD weight loss 498 00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:23.360 dot com. That's my PhD weight loss dot com. So and by the 499 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:29.920 way, that's m Y for my my and then PhD as in doctorate like 500 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.920 PhD. Myphweightloss dot com, My PhD weight looss dot com. I should 501 00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:37.159 say, all right, my friends. So the other thing I wanted to 502 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:38.840 talk about, and I don't have a ton of time here to share this, 503 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:43.840 but Oz. I haven't even mentioned this to Oz because I really wanted 504 00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:49.000 her reaction to this. We we homeschool here. So there's a magazine. 505 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.480 This is a red state dot com. This is in the stack of stuff. 506 00:37:52.199 --> 00:38:00.599 Magazine calls for federal regulation of homeschoolers, otherwise known as a conservative database. 507 00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:04.880 Now if you homeschool, or if you follow the homeschool movement, if 508 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.440 you just know about your government, you know that there's calls for this kind 509 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:15.039 of stuff all the time. You also know that there are differences between different 510 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.599 types of you know, states handle it differently. Actually, Indiana, OS 511 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:23.360 is pretty good right for homeschooling. Those other states that are not as friendly 512 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:27.840 to homeschooling. You probably have your guesses as to which ones those are, 513 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:36.119 But in general, it's the states that are that are kind of managing I 514 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:42.800 guess homeschool in their in their respective states. But now there's a magazine. 515 00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:50.559 What is this magazine? Scientific American? Scientific American? Is this science? 516 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:57.639 A science spoken here by saying homeschoolers should be basically regulated by the by the 517 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.920 federal government. Does this make this science? Ants? Am I allowed to 518 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:06.599 go against what American Scientific says because that would be disputing established science. I 519 00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.559 don't know. These are things that we have to ask ourselves and wrestle with 520 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:14.199 these tough questions, my friends. But here we go. In a June 521 00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:21.280 seventeenth newsletter, Scientific American Magazine, based on the numbers from the National Center 522 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:28.480 for Education Statistics, suggested that federal regulations be put on homeschooling. N CES 523 00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.480 shows that almost three percent of American students are homeschooled, roughly one and a 524 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.960 half million kiddos. But it is not the call for federal regulations that is 525 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:43.079 the most disturbing thing about Scientific americans suggestion. The best part is that they 526 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:51.360 also suggest that parents of homeschooled kids undergo a background checked. Undergo a background 527 00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:52.800 first, just one question, what does this have to do with science, 528 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:57.400 which of course was kind of my question off the top. The newsletter goes 529 00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:02.360 on to can see that homeschooled students do EXCEL test scores are consistently fifteen to 530 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:10.159 twenty percentile points higher than their public education counterparts, and homeschool students also tend 531 00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:15.840 to score higher on the SAT and ACT tests. However, Scientific American points 532 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:22.199 out that most states don't require the same assessment of homeschooled kids that are required 533 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:28.320 for their public school peers. But it seems that the real problem Scientific American 534 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:32.639 has is with the parents' level of education, and the publication engages in a 535 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:37.679 bit of fear mongering, saying that parents are not required to have an education 536 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.239 themselves to direct instruction, and in most states, no one checks to see 537 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.840 that the children are receiving an education at all. In worst cases, homeschooling 538 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.079 can hide abuse. I'm just out of time, just sharing that my friend's 539 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:50.239 SDG. Gotta go.
