Hour 2 - 

Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

66% of Democrats say former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be investigated by special counsel John Durham over her alleged role in trying to gin up dirt linking former President Donald Trump to Russia.

Hillary Clinton will receive the Forbes International Women’s Day Lifetime Achievement Award at the March inaugural "Forbes 30/50 Summit" in Abu Dhabi, Mika Brzezinski announced Tuesday on Morning Joe. The award is in recognition of Clinton's "leadership and influential voice on the global stage in advancing the cause of women and fighting for gender equity."

The U.S. economy under President Biden plunged to an all-time low, according to the Heritage Foundation’s annual Index of Economic Freedom.

The Biden administration thinks you are stupid. That much is clear given its response this week to a Washington Free Beacon report exposing the administration's plan to "fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance ‘racial equity.'" Despite confirming the details of the story, the Department of Health and Human Services determined—more than 24 hours after publication—that the story was "blatant misinformation." A spokesperson offered no evidence to support this claim. Asked for clarification, the spokesperson responded 10 hours later to denounce once again the report as "misleading and misinformed" but offered no evidence as justification.

Establishment Republicans in Missouri’s Senate are caving to Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s continued speakership past the November midterms due to redistricting foibles.

Last week, Dr. Maryam Mohammadkhani joined Nick Reed to talk about upcoming candidates running for the school board. The Springfield News-Leader wrote a piece about the interview, and reached out to the Springfield National Education Association (NEA). The Springfield NEA responded by saying, "SNEA firmly stands behind our endorsements of Charles Taylor and Brandi VanAntwerp as the best candidates for Springfield Public Schools. How individuals vote is a personal decision, but we hope the community will consider the recommendations of local educators and staff."

In an email sent to us, members of the SNEA were asked to complete a survey by November 30th to select a candidate to support.

However, in committee notes dated November 18th, a bullet point says, "We can early endorse Charles so he can go ahead and launch his campaign. PAC money is IMPORTANT!"

Springfield restaurant Thai Express announced they will be moving to Republic Road last year, but due to complications the opening date keeps getting pushed.

About the book: 

Back in 2008, Mark Bauerlein was a voice crying in the wilderness. As experts greeted the new generation of “Digital Natives” with extravagant hopes for their high-tech future, he pegged them as the “Dumbest Generation.”

Today, their future doesn’t look so bright, and their present is pretty grim. The twenty-somethings who spent their childhoods staring into a screen are lonely and purposeless, unfulfilled at work and at home. Many of them are even suicidal. The Dumbest Generation Grows Up is an urgently needed update on the Millennials, explaining their not-so-quiet desperation and, more important, the threat that their ignorance poses to the rest of us. Lacking skills, knowledge, religion, and a cultural frame of reference, Millennials are anxiously looking for something to fill the void. Their mentors have failed them. Unfortunately, they have turned to politics to plug the hole in their souls.

Knowing nothing about history, they are convinced that it is merely a catalogue of oppression, inequality, and hatred. Why, they wonder, has the human race not ended all this injustice before now? And from the depths of their ignorance rises the answer: Because they are the first ones to care! All that is needed is to tear down our inherited civilization and replace it with their utopian aspirations. For a generation unacquainted with the constraints of human nature, anything seems possible.

Having diagnosed the malady before most people realized the patient was sick, Mark Bauerlein surveys the psychological and social wreckage and warns that we cannot afford to do this to another generation.
