AI and Schooling

Today, Doug Pike interviews Dacia Toll about AI and schooling.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplace the TV remote
because you were the TV remote. Remember when music sounded
like this, Remember when social media was truly social?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey John, how's it going today? Well, this show is
all about you. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Helpful information on your finances, good health, and what to
do for fun. Fifty plus brought to you by the
UT Health Houston Institute on Aging Informed decisions for a healthier,
happier life.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And now fifty plus with Doug Pike. All right, here
we go. Welcome to fifty plus, hosted by a live person,
produced by a live person. Despite rumors that Will and
I are AI generated avatars, you're all living in a
six or seventh dimension world controlled by some kid from
the future who's acting to his dad's computer's playing a

(01:04):
game with friends all over the galaxy. We're actually going
to have some AI discussion later in the show with
a woman whose company has helped hundreds of schools in
school districts and teachers lift their students' test scores with
help from not with replacement by but with help from
artificial intelligence. And that's going to be a good one.

(01:26):
I think if the answers to my questions are what
I think they're going to be. I think that all
of us, even though we're pretty much done with schooling,
I think all of us will be happy to know
that our children are going to be more capably and
more completely educated in the future than they have been

(01:50):
in the recent past. Until then, though, it's just a
combined intelligence of will and me that's going to get
us to that conversation. And I'll tee it up first
with a glance at local weather, which about for the
last thirty or forty five minutes here at the building
on the West Loop has included multiple lightning strikes, some
very close by. I don't think that much rain has

(02:13):
fallen here, but you can see where it's dumping in
buckets in other places around here. I went out to
the golf course yesterday afternoon and sat in my car
for about twenty five or thirty minutes waiting for the
rain to stop, and it never really did, not enough
to encourage me to put on the golf shoes and

(02:35):
get the clubs out and do all of that. It finally,
it finally stopped raining just enough for me to think,
you know, I'm gonna go home and do a couple
of things, hang out, visit with my wife, and that
ride home, I don't remember exactly what time it was
was probably the heaviest rain I've driven through since some

(02:57):
of the times when I've had to come down here
during during a hurricane or tropical storm or whatever to
help out or do some broadcasting, do a show. It
was treacherous, it really was. It drove me crazy, but
I made it. I made it so Will and I
both sitting in here waiting and watching for the afternoon

(03:19):
showers that are going to hang around through tomorrow a
couple of slightly better days before we get back to
rain the next week too. Well, we did get our
first predicted high in the eighties that's coming next week,
I think on Wednesday or Thursday. And it's not low
eighties for sure. It's an eighty nine to be exact
from what I was looking at on the forecast. But

(03:40):
I'll take that over anything that starts with a nine.
And on the big map, by the way, the one
that includes the Atlantic Ocean where Aaron and her little
brother likely somed to be named Fernande, not Fernando. For
some reason, I guess Fernande is also a name causing
issues for shipping and coastal communities. But you know what,

(04:02):
and and there's there's rumor that we're gonna see some
big waves against the New York coastline and flooding. So
those of us who went through Harvey, I apologize for
what they're scared of. But they're talking about two feet
of flooding somewhere along the New York coast thanks to Aerin.

(04:23):
We'll see the other one's gonna actually, I think he's
gonna turn north earlier than Aaron did and missed the
US coastline by a lot farther. And then there's another
one way out there that looks like it's going to
be headed just almost due west for quite some time.
A good chance that it'll come over and at least

(04:45):
threaten to come into the Bay of Campeache and maybe
the Gulf of America. We'll just have to wait a
long time, though, to see what that is that one
has got to If it does become something, it will be.
He named Gabrielle got a fifty to fifty shot right
now over the next forty eight day or forty eight

(05:07):
hours to seven days to become Gabrielle, and then we'll
just deal with it from there. In the markets, all
four of the big ones actually bright green, very bright green.
A couple of hours ago, and then just a few
minutes ago when I checked again, the Dow was up
more than nine hundred points, Nasdaq S and P five hundred,
Russell two thousand, all up similarly similarly, he said, correctly,

(05:31):
or even in bigger chunks. Gold moved up a few bucks.
Oil was also up, but only by a couple of
nickels and maybe a couple of dimes of barrel, something
like that. And finally, what drove stocks up this morning,
Federal Reserve Chair Jerom Powell is finally talking about a
rate cut that's expected to come. If it does and
it's better in September, and then possibly even more than

(05:55):
one more cut before the year's end. We'll see how
that all works out. I'm not so sure it. I
do believe that he finally understands what needs to be done,
and that would be to do a rate cut. And
once that happens, the I gotta hunch this economy of
ours is gonna is gonna bloom even more brightly. We'll see.

(06:21):
I found this very interesting. I put all the way
at the top of my little little, short, short, one
liner kind of things, longtime adviser to New York Mayor
Eric Adams gave to a journalist. And I don't know
who found out about this. I didn't. I didn't go
deeper into the story. But gave a journalist a wad

(06:44):
of cash stuffed inside a bag of potato chips. The
only other sentence here says she said it was a
gesture of friendship and gratitude. So somebody he was beholden
to that journalist who received the wad of cash, and

(07:07):
the advisor I don't know. I don't know what exactly
constitutes friendship and gratitude enough so that you get a
wad of cash inside a bag of potato chips. I've
never had one of those. Will of you anybody ever
put a wad of cash in your potato chips? Ah?
But to be so lucky? Huh will? Oh? Well, let's

(07:29):
take a little break, shall we. A late health is
the vascular clinic. I've mentioned now for quite some time
and will continue to do so as long as they'll
have me, because what they do is make people who
need help with vascular procedures, get that help and get
back to living a better life. Anything. They have these
little tiny little instruments, tiny little tubes and probes and whatnot,

(07:55):
some of them smaller in diameter even that a human hair,
that can go through through your veins and capillaries and
all of that and either unplug something or plug up
something so that the blood supply is either increased or
shut off entirely in some cases, which is what they
do with a large noncancerous prostate that's called prostate artery embolization.

(08:19):
They go in there and they identify that artery the
one that's causing guys all the symptoms that they're feeling
from one of those, and they're not pleasant, believe me.
They go in there and they take it all the
way down right to the edge of that prostate and
then block it off. The blood gets almost in there
where it can keep growing and keep getting worse, but

(08:42):
they shut it off. They do all kinds of other
procedures as well. Over there. They do fibroids for women.
There's some headpains that can be alleviated that way, Ugly
veins or kind of the bread and butter over there
besides the prostate artery embolization. Go to the website, look around,
see all the things they do over there. It's a
very long list, believe me, all of which are done

(09:02):
right there in their offices, and many of which are
paid for by Medicare and Medicaid. They also do regenerative
medicine too for chronic pain, and that's that's become a
really hot topic and a really big help for people
who who suffer from pain just all or most of
the time. Alat e a latehealth dot com or seven

Aged to Perfection. This is fifty plus with Dougpike. All right,
welcome back, thanks for listening. Certainly do appreciate it. On
this just yet another one of those days around here
hunt scattered showers, Uh, some of them severe. It's a

(09:45):
broken record and not actually not a horrible one along
the coast lately.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
The weather pattern we're in now outside in away from
those isolated showers, is pretty good for fishing. Anyway. I'm
going to talk about that a lot tomorrow on my
Outdoor show over on Sports Talk seven ninety I'll be
teeing that one up at about seven o'clock. Right at
seven o'clock, I suppose if you want to talk about fishing,

(10:14):
we can do that. Then if you want to talk
about the Tour Championship, we can do that as well.
But not here. From the hot seat desk, by way
of a guy named Drew Burkwist Drew Berkeist dot com,
comes the word that Hillary Clinton may face a little
problem with her Arkansas law license in the wake of
alleged involvement alleged involvement in the Russian dossier that's alleged

(10:40):
to have impacted the twenty sixteen election. That's I don't
know what. I don't know what it's gonna take to
get some of these people deposed, to get some of
these people subpoena to answer questions under oath. But once
that happens, and once the once the dominoes ar to fall,

(11:01):
I think there's going to be a whole lot of
stuff revealed about exactly what was going on. Because once
a couple of whistleblowers sit in there and say what
they know, then everybody's gonna have to just kind of
come on board and know that if they get caught lion,
which is a lot of what's happened to get this

(11:23):
whole mess started. If they get caught in their own lives,
then off they'll go to a far different lifestyle than
they've enjoyed up to now. Moving from there in a
feeble attempt to imitate, I guess that's what he was doing.
Texas reped Jasmine Crockett's intensity level and I'm wrapping intensity

(11:44):
leveling quotes here. I guess California Governor Gathervin knewso threatened
in a recent podcast when he was referencing President Trump
and those who work closely with him because he thinks
they're just the the end of democracy. What he's doing
is classic deflection and classic flipping. And I think is

(12:06):
it gaslighting will where you're doing something and blaming somebody else?
Is that correct? I think that that's not. I don't
know what it is. Then, in any event, what he
said in this podcast was he was going to quote
punch these sons of you know what's in the mouth.

(12:27):
I'm a very g rated radio host. In case you
haven't realized that from this show or my outdoor show.
I know the kids are listening in the outdoor show.
I guess I could have said the B word and
that would have been okay, but I just chose not to.
But anyway, he's talking about punching these people in the mouth,
and that's just that's just so base. It's just so

(12:50):
so unnecessary, and it is It reminds me of Texas Rep.
Jasmine Crockett in some of the language that she's used,
which is actually far worse, far worse. She even described
our president using a word that I would never even
try to even halfway use. I can't, I can't even

(13:14):
I don't even want to say that. What she said
with blank Senate or any of that, it was just
so vilent and so disgusting, and it just shows where
she stands. Same song, different verse, Really another Democrat accusing
opponents of doing exactly what he's doing. Take our state
legislatures remapping, okay, we're remapping the electoral districts. Newsom calls

(13:36):
that radical rigging of an election, and then in the
same breath, vows to do the exact same thing in
his state if Texas changes its district. So two wrongs
don't make a right. If he were that concerned and
that worried that this was the end of democracy, which

(13:57):
it's absolutely not. We're actually regaining democracy. See what he
would do would be a take it to court, and
he would lose because there's no law against doing what
we're doing. So in the real kicker for me as
far as this goes, is that there are states, and
more than a few in this country, there are states

(14:19):
where and the Democrats are having to be really careful
about this because they're opening a big can of worms.
There are states where there are significant numbers and percentages
of voters who actually vote Republican in their states, but
because of already happened at jerry mandering in those very
very blue states, they have zero Republican representation in the House.

(14:46):
It's not possible without some pretty slick, pretty politically motivated mapping.
And the Dems are finally getting the taste of that
sickening poison they've been feeding Americans for years now, and
it's leaving a bad taste in their mouths, leaving a
bad taste, and they're not sure quite how to react
to being called out for doing exactly what they've been doing. Interesting,

(15:09):
I think from the soft desk go have that I'm
not gonna use that go back to the soft side.
I found a piece of medical news that is fascinating
and if it comes to pass, this is not something
that's going to happen overnight. It's going to take a

(15:30):
few more years, I think, to really become something that
can be done regularly. But the first ever transplant of
a spinal cord is said to be potentially happening fairly soon.
I don't know what soon means as that goes, but

(15:53):
imagine all that changes if we can, like getting if
on your donor form, you could put spinal cord, take
my corneas, take my heart, take my liver, take whatever

(16:13):
could be used in somebody else to give them a
better life. And now that list could include spinal cords.
That's that's pretty special. From a piece that I titled
I'm not so sure about that a claim that the
last wild cow died in sixteen twenty seven, not nineteen

(16:39):
twenty seven. There are wild cattle in Texas. I'm one
hundred percent sure of that now that they're not going
to come running down the main street in downtown Houston.
But I'm very confident that out in the in West
Texas and some of the places is in deep South Texas.

(17:02):
In that brush there are wild bulls running around, a
few wild cows to keep the bulls happy and perpetuate
the situation. If I'm wrong, somebody please let me know
seven one three, two one two five nine five. Oh
you can do that and say, no, Doug, you're wrong.
Those those cattle were removed a long time ago. I
don't think that's the case. Though. They're some of those

(17:25):
bulls in South Texas I've heard are they're They're just
as wild and as rogue as Cape Buffalo's over in Africa.
You wouldn't want to cross the path of one. And
if you're looking for something a conversation starter around the whatever,
the dinner table with guests over when the bottle of

(17:46):
wine is opened, you can just drop this on them. Well,
let me know thumbs up or thumbs down if you
knew this. It takes eight hundred and seventy two gallons
of water to make one gallon of wine. Yes or no,
I didn't know that either. That's an awful lot of water.

(18:07):
I don't know what that water is exactly doing to
become one gallon of wine. And by the way, who's
buying wine by the gallon anyway, be a heck of
a bottle, wouldn't it. I guess you could do it
like a milk bottle, like chocolate milk or something like that.
My son is My son is seventeen years old and
still can drink anything with as many calories as you

(18:30):
want to put in it, and eat like a horse
like I did at his age, and have a hard
time gaining weight. He is gaining muscle, though, He's doing
very well with that because he still wants to be
a baseball player, and I feel pretty good about his chances.
I really do. I'm not gonna I don't want to
get into it and act like I'm bragging champions tree preservation.

(18:50):
Get them out to your house. You'd be bragging about
your healthy trees. I guarantee you that.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
The question that they can answer when they send an
arborus to your house is are my trees ready for
a hurricane? Will they be able to withstand the wind
of a pretty good sized hurricane? Which I hope we
don't get, by the way, but if they are problematic
in some way, shape or form, if there is a

(19:16):
lack of nutrition, they can recommend feeding. If there are
limbs that need to go that are suspect in their health.
They have all the equipment and all the crews you
need to get to your house and take care of
that problem, up to and including the entire removal of
a tree that sadly just can't be saved. The name

(19:37):
Champions Tree Preservation tells you what you need to know
when they come to your house. They want to save
that tree you love so much, the one you've had
in your yard for decades. They want that tree to survive.
They want it to be strong, but if it can't be,
they'll take it out for you. And they own a
tree farm that grows nothing but native Texas trees, so

(19:57):
they can replace whatever you take out with something that
can handle the weather conditions we have here. Give them
a call, get a consultation, get somebody out there to
the house. Two eight one three two oh eighty two
oh one two eight one three two oh eighty two
oh one, or go to the website championstree dot com.
That's championstree dot com.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, they sure don't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we wash them, check us
fluids and spring on a fresh cod o wax This
is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
All Right, welcome back to fifty plus. Thanks for listening.
I certainly do appreciate it. Thanks again for sharing your
lunch hour with Will and me. Well, talk in this
segment about education and about a company that's developed some
AI driven software in use. It's pretty much spreading all
over the country now and helping raise the scores of
students wherever it's installed. And with that I will bring

(20:51):
in Desha Toll from Course Mojo. Welcome aboard, Desha.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Hi, Doug, good afternoon. I'm happy to be here as
a member of the fifty plus crowd myself.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Well, thank you. Don't be a stranger. Come back sometime.
So let's go back to the beginning. If we can,
there wouldn't be a need for course Dojo if kids'
test scores weren't going down the drain. What's driving the
drop in scores among so many districts around our country.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, it's a great question. On the national reading data,
we're actually at a thirty year low for eighth grade
reading achievement. So it's true that COVID set us back,
but actually the decline has been you know, started happening
before COVID, and then obviously with the learning loss and

(21:42):
disruption that happened, that took a big step in the
wrong direction. So I think the reasons are complicated, but
I think the concerning part is we're seeing an increase.
It's not just that students aren't reacing sort of grade
level passing scores, but there's an increase the students scoring
at the lowest level. And I think we're just don't

(22:05):
yet have the effective reading interventions in place to catch
kids up if they've missed the really important early development
work around the foundations of reading.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Well, so to fast forward a little bit, so in
you ride on course Mojo, whose idea was this? How
did it start?

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well, we're all concerned about the reading challenge, and so
I do think AI, while there's a lot of hype
about it, it is as an underlying technology much more
powerful to work with. Students can now have a conversation
with As a kid said to me about Course Mojo,
it's like the handout is talking to me. Oh, well,

(22:47):
we're freed from a world of multiple choice, where everything
we had to know constrain what kids could do. You
can only choose ABC, D or E because everything was
a decision tree that the computer had to know and
understand in advance. That's not true anymore, and teachers can
have real time access to data. Like in course Mojo,

(23:09):
you push a button and the teachers find out what
are the two biggest misconceptions in my class right now,
and what's the suggested question to get at them because
all of the student work is analyzed instantly in real time.
So it's just some more powerful technology. And then it's
on all of us. I'm a lifelong educator. I was
a teacher and principal and led a network of schools.

(23:31):
It's on the educators than to take this technology and
build products that are going to be genuinely useful and
helpful and grounded in what we know about good teaching.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
So walk me into the classroom. Somebody from a school
district wherever calls you and says, hey, help us get
our kids back on track. And you say, yeah, we
can do that. How does that work? Where do you
start what goes into the school and is disseminated to
the students.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, and we're very grateful. One of our earliest partners
actually was Aldane ID in the Houston area and they've
seen great games. We can talk about that. But one
of the things that makes us different than to my knowledge,
any other product out there right now is we start
with the high quality curriculum that districts have already adopted.

(24:22):
So a lot of education technology products they're sort of
supplemental if teachers are asked to use them, they're like
one more thing on teachers already full plate. This is
taking what they're trying to teach, the high quality novel,
short stories, poems, nonfiction passages that they're already teaching, and

(24:42):
back to what that kid said. For the students, it
becomes a dynamic, interactive experience, like the handout is talking
to me, and so instead of doing a sort of
static handout, now when students engage with each other, we
care a lot. In this age, I think we have
to care even more about social skills and being human.

(25:04):
And so students actually work together in partners or small groups,
and it's like Mojo, who's the little AI is another
member of that group and ask Students often get kind
of partially right answers, and now Mojo is there to
affirm what they understand and to push them that next
nudge to dig a little deeper by asking very specific

(25:28):
questions I don't want to and the students do that
for a little bit, and then the teacher is conferencing meanwhile,
because they can see which kids are struggling and what
they need help with, So lets the teacher be a
lot more strategic in how they spend their time.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
From what I was saent, it looks like the AI
in this case plays a very big role, So it
serves as an assistant to the teacher more than a replacement.
Is that does that pretty much sum it up?

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah, that's excellent, well, very well said, and very important
to us as teachers that the teaching job is very complicated.
I mean, we talked about the students who are really
far behind in reading, but a teacher in an average
classroom may have twenty seven students and they're all the
range is extraordinary. It's not even just that some kids

(26:16):
are really far behind, but some are far behind, some
are reading at graze level. You've got some that are advanced,
You've got some that are learning English. It's very complicated
and so having this AI assistant makes a big difference
in enhancing their performance.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
As she told from Course Mojo before we run out
of time and it's going to be way too soon, unfortunately.
Talk about what happened with the Aldine School District briefly.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, Aldin posted the greatest reading gains in this last
year on the Texas State test, on the Star test,
of any large district in the state. And a lot
of that is credit to them. They were one of
the earliest adopters of high quality materials. They've done a
lot around teacher coaching and using data to improve their

(27:02):
own practices. But they also, as I said, we're one
of the earliest pilot districts for our technology, and their
teachers and even their students have given us great ideas
and made it better. So they improved districtwide six percentage
points in a single year, which for folks who don't
know the state tests may not seem like a lot,
but it's a lot, and that means thousands more kids

(27:24):
are reading at grade level. And they actually saw improvements
across the board. And then the students using Mojo improved
twelve percentage point home a single year.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, that's something to kind of brag about a little bit. Huh,
well well done.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
We are certainly proud of it. Yeah. The teachers should
be proud of it.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Dasha Toll from course mojo dot com. I did a
little snooping around the website. I actually liked what I
saw there. Wish I'd have had that when I was
a little kid. I'd probably know more than no. Thank
you so very much for your time too. I really
appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Thanks Doug Huh.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's Desha mol from course dot com. Go look it up.
I know a lot of us are already we're way
out of school, but it's worth looking at that to
know what the kids are gonna have in the future.
And that's a very bright future, I think for reading.
Ut House Institute on Aging is where you and I
and anybody else who qualifies as a senior can go

(28:21):
to be seen by a provider from every medical discipline.
You can imagine a provider who has gone back and
got an additional training so that they know how to
apply their knowledge what they learned in their schooling. They
can apply that to us specifically, to seniors specifically, and
that's a big deal. It's a big resource for us

(28:43):
to have. Very few people in the United States have
this much access to that many people who know what
makes seniors tick and keeps us ticking. That's the important part. Really,
go to the website, look around, you're gonna be there
a while because there's a lot of cool stuff. And
then start your search if you need it, for a
provider who can help you. Most of them are concentrated

(29:06):
in the Med Center as the epicenter of great medicine
in the Southwest, but many of those same people also
work in outlining communities and clinics and hospitals and offices
so that people who don't want to drive to the
Med Center, which is not a lot of fun. Honestly,
if you don't want to drive there, you don't have to.
You can be seen by someone who's a member of
the Institute on Aging outside of that area ut dot

(29:31):
edu slash aging. Go check it out. You'll be very impressed.
Ut dot edu slash aging. What's life without a net?
I suggest you go to bed, sleep it off, just.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Wait until the show's over, Sleepy. Back to Doug Pike
as fifty plus continues. Hiight, welcome back, thanks for listening.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Last segment of the show starts right now, and we'll
whittle our way through it and see where we end up.
I've got a couple of more things over here. I
want to get to see where I wanted to say, Oh,
keep it local. I found some real estate news out
of downtown Houston. It's interesting. I don't know what these
guys know that I don't know, but they're betting on

(30:12):
downtown Houston in a big way. I believe that. I
want to say. The company is called three M real
Estate or something like that out of Chicago. In any event,
that firm has bought a property on twelve or ten
twenty one Main Street, a big tall office building and
plans to convert it into a combination of high rise

(30:33):
apartments and corporate suites, which is really smart because you know,
most of the people who are going to work in
that building are also going to want to live in
that building, so they don't have to have to find
a parking place or drive in from the Woodlands or
Pearland or Katie every day. Wouldn't be bad. We have
someone in our office here who lives right across the

(30:55):
street in an apartment complex, and we joke with her
all the time time about her short commute to work.
But she's the one who's usually smiling the most when
she walks in the door because she didn't have to
drive here from anywhere. So hats off. Then the program
or the project slated to beginning February of next year
and be completed by December of twenty twenty seven, so

(31:19):
nearly a two year project, which it might be to
totally renovate a big building like that, And we'll see
what they come up with and how it works out.
For Department of Homeland Security. Secretary Christyenme has taken the
reins of Homeland Security and will personally now approve or
decline any contract of more than one hundred thousand dollars.

(31:42):
What she's discovered since she went into office just barely
I don't know, I think like maybe not quite seven
months ago, whatever that would be. What she has discovered
is that there is just tremendous waste and that there
were for many years, career bureaucrats just very casually signing
off on contracts worth one hundred million dollars or more,

(32:05):
and that, she said, led to widespread abuse of American
tax dollars. In not even seven months yet, she's already
saved taxpayers about twelve billion dollars. That's an average of
about fifty million dollars for every day she's been in office.
So hats off to her. Keep it up, Keep it up, Christy.

(32:26):
We need a lot more of that, frankly, and anybody
who is bemoaning the the whittling of dead weight from
a lot of these bureaucracies in federal government. You know,
if you want to keep paying them more, if you
don't think they're getting enough of your money, go ahead
and pay them all you want. Pay your tax bill

(32:46):
and then double it. Hey, I want I want to
keep this thing running, Pay it and double it. See
how that works out for you in the long term.
From the book port, not the book poort, the book
tour desk comes word that former VP Kamala Harris plans
a book tour to promote her words in regard to
the one hundred and seven days that she was told

(33:07):
she had a shot at becoming president. It's slated for
release on September twenty third, and her announcement is drawing
some strong and sometimes comical ridicule online. Here's one quote,
nothing says kicking off your twenty twenty eight campaign like
a book tour about how badly you lost the last election.

(33:29):
And another I found interesting does her team have zero
self awareness or do they do they just hate her?
And I hope it's not the latter. I don't. I
don't like the thought that they would be doing something
deliberately to hurt her. I think she'll she's gonna make
this tour. And there was one more and said and

(33:51):
I quote, I think we found the last place in
fantasy football. Punishment for this season maybe a visit to
the book tour. She's even tapping dem re registered email
list to market the book, according to a Fox News story.
And one more note, the Biden team has already weighed
in and said if she goes after their quarterback, they're
ready to counter with some pretty fun facts to know

(34:12):
and tell about her. So all of that's being done
in the it will it will be soon, I guess
after September the twenty third or whatever it was. And
a somebody's got to have an advanced copy somewhere. You know,
the media's got an advanced copy. And if they're keeping quiet,
there's a reason I talked about the water to wine thing.

(34:34):
This is interesting about evil? Well, yes or no? Do
you feel like you've ever done something truly evil in
your life? I didn't think so either. Maybe it depends
on how we define it. Okay, that's fair enough. I
don't feel like I've ever done anything evil, and I
guess technically no, I don't think I have, but that's
okay in any event. In a new poll, forty seven

(34:58):
percent of Americans claim they've never done anything evil, ten
percent say they have but only once, and eighteen percent
almost one in five, said yeah, I've done some evil
stuff and more than once even so, and some contemporary examples.
By the way, see this one. This one might get
all of us qualified. We'll leaving a voicemail instead of texting,

(35:21):
have you ever done that? Of course you have. Tossing
an uncrushed box into the dumpster. No, yes, no, okay,
that's good. All right, very quickly before we get out
of here. That's not no, none of this is important.
I'll just say goodbye, We'll see you next time. Thank
you also very much for listening. That's fifty plus audios.
