Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is the principle behind School Choice?
Many public education teachers, administrators, and lobbyists have their kids in a private school. Many elected officials send their kids to private schools, as well. Why do these parents fight so hard to keep other students in public school if they, themselves, are sending their kids to private school?
Do Americans support or oppose School Choice? Tony breaks down the numbers per race, political affiliation, income, and age, saying: “People want to send their kids where they can get a good education, not where the zip code says they have to go.”
What is the top argument from those who oppose School Choice?
Has the time come for School Choice? Tony says: “It’s already here…and it’s like a freight train.”
Every state in the nation permits some form of School Choice. Some states have the “School Voucher Program”, where the money allotted for each student is given to the parent to spend on whichever school setting they deem best. Have the public schools in those states crumbled and been dismantled?

The Daily Signal.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Who are Gen Z’ers? When were they born?
Since the GI Generation, has each successive generation been less grateful for being an American?
Many people have proclaimed on social media that they want to leave America. Why don’t they leave? Jarrett honestly doesn’t know why they don’t just pack up and leave, but he does know why so many people around the world are still flocking to America by the millions.
Without America’s strength, would the world look drastically different today?
What would America be like if the USSR had won the Cold War? Do Gen Z’ers truly understand the implications of that war and the sacrifices made for our freedom here in America? Jarrett reminds us that “the United States stood at the pinnacle of saving the world from tyranny.”

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Are You Proud to be an American? Gen Z Isn’t.
Topic: Proud to be an American
Discussed by Jarrett Stepman
with The Daily Signal (www.dailysignal.com)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why do only 16% of Gen Z’ers express pride in America? Jarrett explains why he
believes that parents are partly to blame, as well as the public education
system.
Have these ideas reached a critical mass? Have traditional American ideas/values
been pushed out of every institution?
In a society devoid of patriotism, is there more room for hate? Jarrett says: “Under
the guise of diversity and tolerance, I think we see an extreme amount of hate…
Where patriotism used to be, it’s now just raw ideology.”

Title: Pro-Active Stance to No Men In Women’s Facilities
Topic: Homosexual Issues
Discussed by Kelsey Harkness
with The Daily Signal (www.dailysignal.com)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
Continuing on the Topic of Homosexual Issues….
The LGBTQ movement is taking America by storm. They have lobbyists in every
state working hard to spread their despicable lies, forcing parents to abide by
their laws. In South Dakota, the Senate recently passed a bill that would
prohibit students at public elementary and secondary schools from using
bathrooms, lockers, and shower rooms that don’t match their biological sex. The
bill also requires reasonable accommodation of students who identify as
transgender through the provision of alternate facilities if requested.
Did You Know: There is a lawsuit involving a Houston Independent School District
middle school where a transgender MALE student wants to use the FEMALE shower.
The school tried to accommodate the student by allowing HIM to use the coach’s
shower, but that was not good enough. “This type of situation is popping up all
over the country,” Kelsey Harkness explains. She discusses a similar case in a
city outside of Chicago. The results of this case will shock and astound you.
Trust me – your blood will boil! Listen in!
New guest, Kelsey Harkness with the Daily Signal, says, “Lawmakers in South
Dakota have been watching all this. They have decided to take matters into their
own hands and protect themselves.” If the Governor signs this bill, it will be
the first state in the nation to take a pro-active stance against the LGBTQ
agenda.
Kelsey wants to give Conservatives a voice again concerning the homosexual and
transgender movement. She even goes as far as calling them “bullies”! They cry
“discrimination” and “homophobia” when we wish to protect our children. This
could not be further from the truth. “People are genuinely concerned about all
parties involved in these cases,” Kelsey says.

Title: Pinocchio Gives Obama the Whopper Award
Topic: Gun Control
Discussed by Philip Wegmann
with The Daily Signal (www.dailysignal.com)
New guest Philip Wegmann is a Congressional Correspondent for The Daily Signal.
He and others decided to fact check the outrageous statements Obama claimed during his speech last week on gun control. What they found probably won’t shock you, but you should still know the truth. In this interview, Philip reveals the four biggest lies told by Obama to the American people.
1. Claim: “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency. It doesn’t happen in other advanced countries. It’s not even close.”
2. Claim: “The problem is, some gun sellers have been operating under a different set of rules. A violent felon can buy the exact same weapon over the Internet with no background check, no questions asked.”
3. Claim: “If there’s an app that can help us find a missing tablet,” Obama said, “there’s no reason we can’t do it with a stolen gun.” Just as a child “can’t open a bottle of aspirin,” he added, a child shouldn’t be able to “pull a trigger on a gun.”
4. Claim: “And the constant excuses for inaction no longer do, no longer suffice. That’s why we are here today. Not to debate the last mass shooting, but to do something to prevent the next one.”
