The Mike Church Show #2103-Parents Are Back In Charge Of Education

AUDIO/VIDEO: Senator Elissa Slotkin on The View – I have a responsibility to represent my entire state even if you voted for Trump. We are still pretty young for a country. These are still our angry teenage years. We are going through this push and pull. So what do you do when you are a parent during these years? You just try to keep them alive so their brain can fully form. We are a pendulum swinging. I don’t think there is a single American that thinks this is normal. 

• What does she mean by that exactly?
• She said like about 20 times in just one comment.
• She says a teenage doesn’t have a fully formed brain and parents are just tying to keep them alive.
• But wait, she is 100% pro-transgender.
• They either have a fully formed brain or they don’t.
• We all know the answer.

• Remember back in the day you really didn’t see many people held back or flunking a grade.
• Now we have 70% that can’t read. 
• Only 30% are able to read properly.
• I remember when my children were in school and they had reading challenges.
• They had to read X amount of books each month and then X amount in the summer.
• Now only 30% can read?!
• So the Department of Education clearly isn’t doing a good job.
• This stuff isn’t difficult. 
• So what is the Department of Education doing w/ all the money?
• We spend more money per pupil than any other country.
• American Library Association – 
• We are 39th in the world in Reading and Math proficiency. 

QUESTION: What does the scale go to?

ANSWER: 40

• Thomas Sowell’s book “Inside American Education”

HEADLINE: 

• The thing that happened was, you can just get heaven on earth mentality.
• The feeling USED to be your sole purpose was to get your children to heaven.
• Now we simply pursue earthly pursuits.
• Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.
• The ironic thing to me is the smartest kids running around are those that are homeschooled.
• The thing about home schooling, one of the things that is fascinating is that when they get it going it becomes the responsibility of the kids and they take it seriously.
• They have a life around the home.
• The kids become self sufficient and self starters.
• Primary education should be in the home.
• No one will miss the DOE.
• The average age of pornography exposure is 9 in public schools.
• Do most homeschooled kids out perform public school kids? 
• Teachers, honest question, did you not know how much teachers got paid when you pursued the degree to teach?
• The pay scale hasn’t changed much over the years.
• So why do they still use the “we need more money” excuse?

ANSWER: The object of war is always peace.

• If you are fighting a just war cause, you accomplish what the war was started for and then peace.
• The conclusion of peace must be the end result.
• Other than Hollywood telling you the Russians are bad, how do you know they are all evil?
• Do you believe the people in Russia are raised to hate you b/c you are American?
• We teach our children that Russia shouldn’t exist. 
• War is a business and it is the health of the state.

• The Republicans running the stupid party just don’t understand.
• The opportunity that is there right now, must be ceased upon.

Thomas Woods on X – 

Massie’s point is, in part: how can we justify a spending bill that spends all the money DOGE identified as wasteful?

The president just got elected, and he has more influence now than he’ll have in six months or at any other time in his term, so why not fight back now?

We keep getting told: now isn’t the time to fight. Wait six months and we’ll fight next time. 

Now I understand if you youngsters haven’t caught on yet, but there’s no excuse for us oldsters, who should have figured out the trick by now: next time never comes. So you may as well fight right now.

David Stockman, director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan, is suggesting: rather than just capitulate to the Democrats as usual, why not introduce a perfectly constitutional rescission package, clawing back some of the leftover spending, in order to get the budget at least partly under control, as a condition of approving any continuing resolution? 

Why simply cave, and then get angry at the guy who refuses to go along?

Stockman explains that the spending situation “is a consequence of the stacked institutional mechanics that Elon Musk is just beginning to grasp” –

• You won the electoral college, the popular vote, and all the swing states. Act like it! Criticizing Thomas Massie instead of following David Stockman’s recommendation is an extremely sad move.
• We sent Rep Thomas Massie a message to be on the show and he is booked until April.
• The smart kids in the room should do the right thing.
• Massie did NOT create this mess.
• Maybe Stockman talks about this in his book, the key to $2 Trillion in cuts, why not go after the 1974 Act?
• You see the damage it has done so get rid of it.
• Maybe the Act has outlived its usefulness. 
• One Congress cannot bind another and that is what they should do.

• He had to go through the EU for approval to build a hotel in Ireland.
• He was told it would take 7 years to get approval from the EU.
• Why 7 years?
• This is your precious ‘democracy’ in action.
• This was a renovation, this wasn’t even NEW construction.
• This is nuts.
• This is why people are getting turned off of democracy.

• How do you go from the Kennedy speech to what color are you first?
• While DEI was prioritized at NASA, an inspector general report noted quality control shortcomings about the agency’s ability to return to the moon.
• Through a comprehensive agency strategy to implement DEI, NASA was subjected to equity commitments, bizarre book talks, and other guidance, while also spending on grants and contracts.

• I’m sorry I refuse to belive we have people in these high offices that are that stupid.
• You can’t tell me there is no-one else in Michigan that could have run for that Senate seat.

• We know that Schumer, Pelosi and Bernie Sanders 

AUDIO/VIDEO: FLASHBACK 2010 Rep Nancy Pelosi – We cannot keep our promises on Medicare unless we cut out the waste, fraud and abuse. 

AUDIO/VIDEO: FLASHBACK 2010 Rep Chuck Schumer – 1/3 of all our spending in Medicaid and Medicare doesn’t go to good healthcare, it goes to other things. How many times have you looked at your medical bill and seen the charges. We don’t want to cut the good stuff out of Medicare but we want to look at that 1/3 that doesn’t go to patient care and that is where we can find common ground.

• Massie does not read National Review.
• If he has one in his hand it will probably be a libertarian magazine.
• It would probably be a farming magazine if we are being honest.
• I think Trump should bring Massie to the White House and talk w/ him on this.
• Invite Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie and David Stockman. 
• Steve your just wrong man, the Constitution matters and if it doesn’t matter, what’s the point to all of this?
• Would President Trump say something like that?
• I don’t think he would.

• The simple answer is we turned our back on God and kicked Him out of the public square.

HEADLINE: The Future of the Tradition of Liberty by Peter Lawler 

• Christian liberty is found in our being made in the image of the free, loving, and relational logos of the personal Creator. 
• Theistic Evolution – 
• Modern liberty—as found, for example, in John Locke—retains the personal insight of the Christians. We are all free individuals, and so free from nature and the city. Nature can be transformed creatively by free persons to be more useful to our personal needs. 
• Progressive movement – did harbor the inclinations to reduce the person to part of History—or to History fodder, or even to part of nature—insofar as it was infected by Darwinism.
