Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's John Justice and welcome to another show. Daily bonus
content outside of my weekly radio show, which you can
listen to on Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty
one oh three five FM, streaming live on the iHeart
Radio app six until nine am Central Time, and you
can also catch up on all three hours Monday through
(00:22):
Friday of the podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast
to Spotify, whatever podcast platforms you enjoy. I have a
handful of stories that I want to get to on
today's show that I've been wanting to do on my
weekly radio show, but unfortunately, in the wake of so
much breaking news after Trump's resounding victory, and as we
(00:42):
head towards the holidays, I simply have not had time
to go and cover these stories, especially today in light
of the news of Joe Biden going and pardoning his
son Hunter, which should not come as a shock to anybody,
even though it's absolutely a joke. I would have given
Biden some credit, and I did similar commentary on TikTok.
(01:05):
You can follow me there at the John Justice at
the John Justice j Owen. I would have given Joe
Biden a little bit of credit if he hadn't said
over and over again that he wasn't going to pardon Hunter.
Dropping this on Sunday, coming off of a holiday weekend, burying,
of course, the news of Cash Patel being tapped by
President Donald Trump to be the FBI Director, and probably
(01:27):
somewhat out of fear of what Cash Patel could potentially
do in conjunction with the DOJ and investigating those credible,
albeit alleged allegations of Joe Biden in corruption that are
directly tied to Hunter Biden. Why do you think he
gave Hunter Biden a pardon for crimes committed or any
(01:47):
crimes for the past decade. He's trying to shield himself
and his family from any investigations. And so we'll see
how this plays out once Trump goes and gets into office.
Went into this in great detail on today's show, and
again I hope you go to the iHeartRadio app and
listen to today's full length Monday through Friday show from
(02:11):
this morning. So let me get to a handful of
stories again that I wanted to cover that I did
not get a chance to get to on the show today,
and this one I found rather interesting in the wake
of everything that has transpired over the course of this
election year, and certainly what happened on November fifth. Worries
about the economy, conflicts abroad, and uncertainty over the election
(02:31):
have pushed readers toward the publication in droves. What am
I talking about? I'm talking about the Bible. Bible sales
are up twenty two percent in the US through the
end of October. You compare that to the same period
last year, and this is according to a book tracker
for what it's worth, Circana Book Scan. By contrast, the
(02:53):
US total US print sales were up less than one
percent in that period, whereas they've been up year over
year twenty two percent. Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical
Christian Publishers Association, says people are experiencing anxiety themselves or
are worried for their children and their grandchildren. It's related
(03:14):
to artificial intelligence, election cycles, and all of that feeds
a desire for assurance that we're going to be okay.
It goes through some quotes of individuals who went and
purchased a Bible themselves. One twenty eight year old artist
and influencer who's also appeared on reality TV shows Love Island, USA,
of all places, recently bought her first Bible, probably somebody
(03:37):
who really needs it. One from one from the she
reads the truth line Barnes and Noble. I've had Bibles
that my mom gave me, but I felt I needed
my own to start my own journey. That it symbolized
I was starting to walk with God. I felt something
was missing. It's a combination of where we are in
(03:58):
the world, general anxiety in a sense that meaning and
comfort can be found in the Bible. Bethany Martin, She's
a manager of a bookstore in Kansas, a faith in
life bookstore to be more specific, says she is selling
lots of first time Bible. She is seeing a lot
of first time Bible buyers. They're looking for hope with
the world the way that it is. The Bible is
(04:19):
what they're searching for. And listen, Thank the Good Lord Almighty. Right,
we have a significant heart issue in this country right now.
A lot of it has surfaced and come to light
in the wake of the past four years under Biden
and Harris. But you go back and look as sort
(04:40):
of the timeline there, and you can attach COVID to
that as well. We've lost our way in terms of
our values in this country, societal norms as it relates
to values typically in the past. As I was growing up,
I had many friends who weren't Christians. I was raised
in a staunch Christian household. I still go to church
my family and I do to this day. My son's
(05:04):
twenty two and soon to be eighteen, and my wife
of twenty four years, and you know, so therefore, you know,
I see this as fantastic news. But when I was
growing up, even for my friends who didn't go to
church every Sunday, or even for those who I still
know today that I'm friends with that are atheists, there
was a general understanding that even though you didn't believe
(05:26):
in the Bible, you didn't believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ Almighty, you still respected and understood what the Bible
stood for. There was still a general acceptance of following
the Ten Commandments and what that means for a society.
We've lost our way in the past four years. It's part,
(05:46):
in my opinion, of what has brought about this epic victory,
and it really was for conservatives, for Republicans, and for
certainly Donald Trump. It's a rejection of the moving a
way of societal norms on so many different levels, going
all the way up to our highest institutions. Now, make
(06:08):
no mistake, as Trump enters his second term with the
cabinet that he has chosen, he's going to seek to
reverse course. And we're already seeing that, and most of
what you see around the world and here in the country,
including Joe Biden pardoning, you know, Hunter Biden, is in
direct relation to that, as I mentioned before, But it's
also a mandate. And the majority in the country right,
(06:34):
not a vast majority, but a majority in the country
in my opinion, signaling they want to return to those
societal norms, the values that this country was founded upon,
and here you have tangible evidence of that in this story.
Publishers say that the books are selling well at religious bookstores,
but also on Amazon dot Com and more and more
(06:55):
mainstream retailers. And listen, even as somebody who you know
believes in the Lord Jesus Christ has been a Christian
his entire life, but really didn't solidify his walk with God.
And I'm talking about this guy who's got two thumbs
and is talking about himself with this guy even as
somebody who has struggled with this faith, not in terms
(07:18):
of not believing in God, but just following God's word
and still as we do as Christians every day, even
I'm still learning.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I watched an amazing video the other day.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It popped up on my Instagram feed, and I felt
so blessed that it had and it was from a
pastor talking about what happens when you read the Scripture
for four consecutive days, and how in the first two
days you see a nominal effect in your life, but
on the third and especially fourth day, you end up
finding and seeing dramatic changes in the difficulties that you
have relating to anxiety, relating to the draw of explicit
(07:53):
material that it has, especially on men, on a number
of different fronts. And I wasn't even aware of that person.
I pray every single day, multiple times a day, but
to be quite honest, I'm not in the Word every day,
and I've been attempting to and realizing that it's actually
a struggle to consciously make an effort to go into
the Word of God on a daily basis. And I
(08:14):
have no intention of making this show one that's a
Bible thumper by any stretch. But at the same time,
I don't want to hide my religious belief and I
think it's important that we get back to if it's
possible here in the United States, a place where even
if you're not a Christian, even if you don't believe
in what the Bible teaches, that you respect the values
(08:35):
of what it teaches, because that's what this country was
founded on and what serves us best here as Americans.
Just to be plain and simple listen to that point
is another story that relates to a certain extent, pointing
to why we got to the place that we are
and why I'm hoping that we're changing course. I've actually
(08:57):
been sitting on this one for quite a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Locally. It comes out of Fox nine. The struggles of several.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Casual dining restaurant chains over the course of the past
year have resulted in two trends that industry experts believe
resulted in these businesses going and closing their doors. Over
a dozen chain restaurants you're looking at, Red Lobster, Boca, Dibppo, Burgerfi,
TGI Fridays have all declared Chapter eleven and twenty twenty four.
(09:26):
Experts say they point to COVID nineteen accelerating their restaurant costs,
patrons changing their dining habits, and analysts like debt Wire
also think that the next eateries could that could fall
might be Hooters or Denny's. There's been a lot of
speculation about the heydays of fast casual and the heydays
(09:48):
of casual dining, about all different restaurant concepts. It comes
down really to the specific the brand specific price value equation.
What is the guest getting versus what are they giving up.
This is according to one of the CEOs who was
formerly of TGI Friday's David Buster's Macaroni Grill to Fox
(10:08):
Digital Listen, this is where I come down on this
particular issue.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
One.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I hope that there's a resurgence in this because I
think it's important for society to have public spaces, and
that the Biden and Harris economy certainly exacerbated the problem
that was brought out by COVID when they came into office.
But getting to that particular point, when you look at
the COVID pandemic four years of Biden and Harris, it
(10:34):
really is the gift that keeps on giving in the
worst possible ways. Corporations suffer, as do employees, Local state
and tax revenue suffers, property owners, the food suppliers, cleaning services.
But there's another tragedy that the byproduct of all of this.
It's the public. We have less opportunity or motivation to
(10:55):
go out and be with each other in a public setting.
We're losing those The leftists were able to perpetuate so
much of their nonsense that was antithetical to against societal
norms that I was talking about because fewer people were
and continue to be out in the public to see
normal people going and living their lives. We need our
(11:18):
public spaces, you know, as a society, we need them
to function. We may not be talking to the table
that's next to us in a restaurant, but we are
sharing a common bond, We are sharing an experience together
by simply choosing to be patrons at the same place,
We've made a decision to go and partake in the
(11:39):
same action. So despite our political differences or our views
on pop culture, Wicked, Star Wars, Marvel, it doesn't matter.
And I hope that we see a resurgence in the
next four years because of Trump, because as a community,
we should be occupying these spaces more often. I went
(11:59):
to Disneyland for the first time in nine years, my
favorite place on Earth, back in July, and this is
when I was really struck by this moment of actually
going and being in a space with an abundance of
people that size that I hadn't been in for almost
a decade. And how you do put your differences aside.
You spend enough time at a place like Disneyland, and
(12:20):
you understand and you realize that people are generally speaking
kind to each other, kinder than they typically are in
day to day spaces just just going to the grocery
store or being out in public when we're not used
to it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And again, you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Got to go through most of the day at the
park to kind of experience this to the point where
typically you end up talking more about those individuals that
were jerks maybe cut you off in line, or didn't
hold the door open for you at the bathroom more
so than you do the kindness that people showed throughout
your day, because that was more relevant, or I should
(12:59):
not more relevant. It was there more often, it was
happening more often, so you highlight the instances in which
somebody was a jerk, and you kind of forget that
people were actually being a lot kinder than they typically
are when you're out in public, and that's what happens
by us going on and sharing those spaces together regardless
of our political affiliation. Thankfully, we still have our sporting events,
(13:20):
but even that was attempted to be politicized to the
point where you had people that were saying, I'm not
gonna watch the NFL anymore. I'm tired of seeing the
athletes neil. And thankfully we've kind of moved away from
that and now we're seeing those athletes that are actually doing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
The Trump dance instead. That's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
We need to be out amongst people. It's healthy for
our society. And look, our family doesn't go out to
eat at these you know, chain restaurants as much as
we used to, but it's really just because of the
finances about it. It's just been too expensive. It's been
too hard to do. So you got to watch every
dollar under Biden and Harrison. Hopefully with Trump coming into office,
there is a wholesale tainange with that better economy, more
(14:02):
money in our bank account, and maybe it'll save some
of these chain restaurants, because again you're talking about jobs property.
There's a lot that goes along with that insurance availability
for people, especially with now the emergence of AI and
automation growing at a rapid rate. No, it's going to
be really important that we have the ability for people
to go out and do those service worker jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, one more for you today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
This one I'm gonna have to save it and put
in my stack because I definitely want to do this
on my weekly radio show. But a Mississippi teacher is
out of a job after inadvertently feeding dog treats to
students during a class celebration. The now former Calhoun City
High School employee, whose name was not released by the
(14:48):
school district, allegedly mistook the treats for beef jerky. At
least eight children consumed at least one bite of the treats.
This goes back about a week or so. Acording to
the district superintendent. Langford also lauded the school's nurse. This
was doctor Lisa Langford. Again, the district superintendent lotted the
(15:09):
school nurse for her swift response to the situation, within
which included to call for poison control. I'm pretty sure
the kids would have been okay eating dog jerky treats.
They alerted the affected parents children's parents of the situation.
The incident reportedly transpired during what was intended as a
birthday celebration for a few students. The local outlet continued,
(15:30):
this is what I find so ridiculous about this.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You've got every.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Symbolic leftist flag, poster, banner hanging from the walls, explicit
adult material being available within arm's reach of underage children,
promoted by teachers whose heads are adorned or who are
just adorned to themselves head to toe, and enough day
(15:58):
low colors that it looked like a unicorn vomited on
them after eating a sixty four pack of a box
of Crayola crayons. And this woman gets fired for mistakenly
confusing dog treats for Jack Link's jerky. I can't face
(16:20):
palm hard enough off of this listen. I think it's
pretty clear most parents, rational parents at least, are going
to know their kids aren't poisoned after doing this. She
didn't do it intentionally, and yet our public in our
schools have turned into little indoctrination institutions, something that Trump
is definitely going to have to work on and I
am all for abolishing the Department of Education in Washington, DC.
(16:43):
This should be handed to the states, but unfortunately, states
like mine here in Minnesota, continue to do everything they
possibly can to make sure that our public schools are
little indoctrination centers, confusing the children, distancing themselves from their parents,
making them angry activists that will hopefully continue to go
and vote for Democrats once they get out of school.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's tragic.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Thank the good Lord Almighty that there are good parents
out there that make sure that when their kids come home,
they talk to them, they give them clarity on some
of the ridiculous indoctrination.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now that's almost required. It used to be that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The argument was they're not indoctrinating, and now it's like, no,
they are going to indoctrin eight and you're the horrible,
awful whatever ism or isest if you push back on
that indoctrination. And unless I'm missing something here, this woman
just again made a simple, harmless mistake and gets fired
(17:39):
over it. That's just absolutely unbelievable to me. Hey, thanks

more than happy to share those on upcoming episodes. And again,
(18:00):
this is additional. I'm doing it as daily as much
as possible, daily content to what I do on my
weekly radio show Monday through Friday. So I thank you
so much for checking this out, and I will talk
to you again real soon.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Bye.
It's John Justice and welcome to another show. Daily bonus
content outside of my weekly radio show, which you can
listen to on Twin Cities News Talk Am eleven thirty
one oh three five FM, streaming live on the iHeart
Radio app six until nine am Central Time, and you
can also catch up on all three hours Monday through
(00:22):
Friday of the podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast
to Spotify, whatever podcast platforms you enjoy. I have a
handful of stories that I want to get to on
today's show that I've been wanting to do on my
weekly radio show, but unfortunately, in the wake of so
much breaking news after Trump's resounding victory, and as we
(00:42):
head towards the holidays, I simply have not had time
to go and cover these stories, especially today in light
of the news of Joe Biden going and pardoning his
son Hunter, which should not come as a shock to anybody,
even though it's absolutely a joke. I would have given
Biden some credit, and I did similar commentary on TikTok.
(01:05):
You can follow me there at the John Justice at
the John Justice j Owen. I would have given Joe
Biden a little bit of credit if he hadn't said
over and over again that he wasn't going to pardon Hunter.
Dropping this on Sunday, coming off of a holiday weekend, burying,
of course, the news of Cash Patel being tapped by
President Donald Trump to be the FBI Director, and probably
(01:27):
somewhat out of fear of what Cash Patel could potentially
do in conjunction with the DOJ and investigating those credible,
albeit alleged allegations of Joe Biden in corruption that are
directly tied to Hunter Biden. Why do you think he
gave Hunter Biden a pardon for crimes committed or any
(01:47):
crimes for the past decade. He's trying to shield himself
and his family from any investigations. And so we'll see
how this plays out once Trump goes and gets into office.
Went into this in great detail on today's show, and
again I hope you go to the iHeartRadio app and
listen to today's full length Monday through Friday show from
(02:11):
this morning. So let me get to a handful of
stories again that I wanted to cover that I did
not get a chance to get to on the show today,
and this one I found rather interesting in the wake
of everything that has transpired over the course of this
election year, and certainly what happened on November fifth. Worries
about the economy, conflicts abroad, and uncertainty over the election
(02:31):
have pushed readers toward the publication in droves. What am
I talking about? I'm talking about the Bible. Bible sales
are up twenty two percent in the US through the
end of October. You compare that to the same period
last year, and this is according to a book tracker
for what it's worth, Circana Book Scan. By contrast, the
(02:53):
US total US print sales were up less than one
percent in that period, whereas they've been up year over
year twenty two percent. Jeff Crosby, president of the Evangelical
Christian Publishers Association, says people are experiencing anxiety themselves or
are worried for their children and their grandchildren. It's related
(03:14):
to artificial intelligence, election cycles, and all of that feeds
a desire for assurance that we're going to be okay.
It goes through some quotes of individuals who went and
purchased a Bible themselves. One twenty eight year old artist
and influencer who's also appeared on reality TV shows Love Island, USA,
of all places, recently bought her first Bible, probably somebody
(03:37):
who really needs it. One from one from the she
reads the truth line Barnes and Noble. I've had Bibles
that my mom gave me, but I felt I needed
my own to start my own journey. That it symbolized
I was starting to walk with God. I felt something
was missing. It's a combination of where we are in
(03:58):
the world, general anxiety in a sense that meaning and
comfort can be found in the Bible. Bethany Martin, She's
a manager of a bookstore in Kansas, a faith in
life bookstore to be more specific, says she is selling
lots of first time Bible. She is seeing a lot
of first time Bible buyers. They're looking for hope with
the world the way that it is. The Bible is
(04:19):
what they're searching for. And listen, Thank the Good Lord Almighty. Right,
we have a significant heart issue in this country right now.
A lot of it has surfaced and come to light
in the wake of the past four years under Biden
and Harris. But you go back and look as sort
(04:40):
of the timeline there, and you can attach COVID to
that as well. We've lost our way in terms of
our values in this country, societal norms as it relates
to values typically in the past. As I was growing up,
I had many friends who weren't Christians. I was raised
in a staunch Christian household. I still go to church
my family and I do to this day. My son's
(05:04):
twenty two and soon to be eighteen, and my wife
of twenty four years, and you know, so therefore, you know,
I see this as fantastic news. But when I was
growing up, even for my friends who didn't go to
church every Sunday, or even for those who I still
know today that I'm friends with that are atheists, there
was a general understanding that even though you didn't believe
(05:26):
in the Bible, you didn't believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ Almighty, you still respected and understood what the Bible
stood for. There was still a general acceptance of following
the Ten Commandments and what that means for a society.
We've lost our way in the past four years. It's part,
(05:46):
in my opinion, of what has brought about this epic victory,
and it really was for conservatives, for Republicans, and for
certainly Donald Trump. It's a rejection of the moving a

including Joe Biden pardoning, you know, Hunter Biden, is in

(06:34):
not a vast majority, but a majority in the country
in my opinion, signaling they want to return to those
societal norms, the values that this country was founded upon,
and here you have tangible evidence of that in this story.
Publishers say that the books are selling well at religious bookstores,
but also on Amazon dot Com and more and more
(06:55):
mainstream retailers. And listen, even as somebody who you know
believes in the Lord Jesus Christ has been a Christian
his entire life, but really didn't solidify his walk with God.
And I'm talking about this guy who's got two thumbs
and is talking about himself with this guy even as
somebody who has struggled with this faith, not in terms
(07:18):
of not believing in God, but just following God's word
and still as we do as Christians every day, even
I'm still learning.
Speaker 2 (07:27):

have no intention of making this show one that's a

I don't want to hide my religious belief and I
think it's important that we get back to if it's
possible here in the United States, a place where even
if you're not a Christian, even if you don't believe
in what the Bible teaches, that you respect the values
(08:35):
of what it teaches, because that's what this country was
founded on and what serves us best here as Americans.
Just to be plain and simple listen to that point
is another story that relates to a certain extent, pointing
to why we got to the place that we are
and why I'm hoping that we're changing course. I've actually
(08:57):
been sitting on this one for quite a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Locally. It comes out of Fox nine. The struggles of several.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Casual dining restaurant chains over the course of the past
year have resulted in two trends that industry experts believe
resulted in these businesses going and closing their doors. Over
a dozen chain restaurants you're looking at, Red Lobster, Boca, Dibppo, Burgerfi,
TGI Fridays have all declared Chapter eleven and twenty twenty four.
(09:26):
Experts say they point to COVID nineteen accelerating their restaurant costs,
patrons changing their dining habits, and analysts like debt Wire
also think that the next eateries could that could fall
might be Hooters or Denny's. There's been a lot of
speculation about the heydays of fast casual and the heydays
(09:48):
of casual dining, about all different restaurant concepts. It comes
down really to the specific the brand specific price value equation.
What is the guest getting versus what are they giving up.
This is according to one of the CEOs who was
formerly of TGI Friday's David Buster's Macaroni Grill to Fox
(10:08):
Digital Listen, this is where I come down on this
particular issue.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
One.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I hope that there's a resurgence in this because I
think it's important for society to have public spaces, and
that the Biden and Harris economy certainly exacerbated the problem
that was brought out by COVID when they came into office.
But getting to that particular point, when you look at
the COVID pandemic four years of Biden and Harris, it
(10:34):
really is the gift that keeps on giving in the
worst possible ways. Corporations suffer, as do employees, Local state
and tax revenue suffers, property owners, the food suppliers, cleaning services.
But there's another tragedy that the byproduct of all of this.
It's the public. We have less opportunity or motivation to
(10:55):
go out and be with each other in a public setting.
We're losing those The leftists were able to perpetuate so
much of their nonsense that was antithetical to against societal
norms that I was talking about because fewer people were
and continue to be out in the public to see
normal people going and living their lives. We need our
(11:18):
public spaces, you know, as a society, we need them
to function. We may not be talking to the table
that's next to us in a restaurant, but we are
sharing a common bond, We are sharing an experience together
by simply choosing to be patrons at the same place,
We've made a decision to go and partake in the
(11:39):
same action. So despite our political differences or our views
on pop culture, Wicked, Star Wars, Marvel, it doesn't matter.
And I hope that we see a resurgence in the
next four years because of Trump, because as a community,
we should be occupying these spaces more often. I went
(11:59):
to Disneyland for the first time in nine years, my
favorite place on Earth, back in July, and this is
when I was really struck by this moment of actually
going and being in a space with an abundance of
people that size that I hadn't been in for almost
a decade. And how you do put your differences aside.
You spend enough time at a place like Disneyland, and
(12:20):
you understand and you realize that people are generally speaking
kind to each other, kinder than they typically are in
day to day spaces just just going to the grocery
store or being out in public when we're not used
to it.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And again, you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Got to go through most of the day at the
park to kind of experience this to the point where
typically you end up talking more about those individuals that
were jerks maybe cut you off in line, or didn't
hold the door open for you at the bathroom more
so than you do the kindness that people showed throughout
your day, because that was more relevant, or I should
(12:59):
not more relevant. It was there more often, it was
happening more often, so you highlight the instances in which
somebody was a jerk, and you kind of forget that
people were actually being a lot kinder than they typically
are when you're out in public, and that's what happens
by us going on and sharing those spaces together regardless
of our political affiliation. Thankfully, we still have our sporting events,
(13:20):
but even that was attempted to be politicized to the
point where you had people that were saying, I'm not
gonna watch the NFL anymore. I'm tired of seeing the
athletes neil. And thankfully we've kind of moved away from
that and now we're seeing those athletes that are actually doing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
The Trump dance instead. That's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
We need to be out amongst people. It's healthy for
our society. And look, our family doesn't go out to
eat at these you know, chain restaurants as much as
we used to, but it's really just because of the
finances about it. It's just been too expensive. It's been
too hard to do. So you got to watch every
dollar under Biden and Harrison. Hopefully with Trump coming into office,
there is a wholesale tainange with that better economy, more
(14:02):
money in our bank account, and maybe it'll save some
of these chain restaurants, because again you're talking about jobs property.
There's a lot that goes along with that insurance availability
for people, especially with now the emergence of AI and
automation growing at a rapid rate. No, it's going to
be really important that we have the ability for people
to go out and do those service worker jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, one more for you today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
This one I'm gonna have to save it and put
in my stack because I definitely want to do this
on my weekly radio show. But a Mississippi teacher is
out of a job after inadvertently feeding dog treats to
students during a class celebration. The now former Calhoun City
High School employee, whose name was not released by the
(14:48):
school district, allegedly mistook the treats for beef jerky. At
least eight children consumed at least one bite of the treats.
This goes back about a week or so. Acording to
the district superintendent. Langford also lauded the school's nurse. This
was doctor Lisa Langford. Again, the district superintendent lotted the
(15:09):
school nurse for her swift response to the situation, within
which included to call for poison control. I'm pretty sure
the kids would have been okay eating dog jerky treats.
They alerted the affected parents children's parents of the situation.
The incident reportedly transpired during what was intended as a
birthday celebration for a few students. The local outlet continued,
(15:30):
this is what I find so ridiculous about this.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
You've got every.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Symbolic leftist flag, poster, banner hanging from the walls, explicit
adult material being available within arm's reach of underage children,
promoted by teachers whose heads are adorned or who are
just adorned to themselves head to toe, and enough day
(15:58):
low colors that it looked like a unicorn vomited on
them after eating a sixty four pack of a box
of Crayola crayons. And this woman gets fired for mistakenly
confusing dog treats for Jack Link's jerky. I can't face
(16:20):
palm hard enough off of this listen. I think it's
pretty clear most parents, rational parents at least, are going
to know their kids aren't poisoned after doing this. She
didn't do it intentionally, and yet our public in our
schools have turned into little indoctrination institutions, something that Trump
is definitely going to have to work on and I
am all for abolishing the Department of Education in Washington, DC.
(16:43):
This should be handed to the states, but unfortunately, states
like mine here in Minnesota, continue to do everything they
possibly can to make sure that our public schools are
little indoctrination centers, confusing the children, distancing themselves from their parents,
making them angry activists that will hopefully continue to go
and vote for Democrats once they get out of school.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's tragic.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Thank the good Lord Almighty that there are good parents
out there that make sure that when their kids come home,
they talk to them, they give them clarity on some
of the ridiculous indoctrination.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now that's almost required. It used to be that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The argument was they're not indoctrinating, and now it's like, no,
they are going to indoctrin eight and you're the horrible,
awful whatever ism or isest if you push back on
that indoctrination. And unless I'm missing something here, this woman
just again made a simple, harmless mistake and gets fired
(17:39):
over it. That's just absolutely unbelievable to me. Hey, thanks
