In my medical training, a fellow physician tried to convince me that my liberal leanings on health care were misguided.

Glover agreed stating that Nashville needs to prioritize their spending with an emphasis on services that keep the city safe and clean. Nearing the end of the show Glover added, “So much is at stake. I’m just telling you right now we are at a turning point. If we don’t get a hold of this. And we can fix it. But we don’t have anymore time. We’ve got to fix it now.

I am a lowly lawyer who has never argued before the Supreme Court, and never will. I am not a constitutional scholar, Justice Ginsburg has never heard of me, and I know that in the grand scheme of things, my opinion matters to her very little (and almost certainly not at all). Nevertheless, I hope Justice Ginsburg will forgive my presumptuousness, and will entertain this immodest, yet (I believe) very respectful, sincere, timely, and practical proposal.

In the past few decades, a new subfield of history has emerged: the history of capitalism. The subfield is widely popular in the media as a result of hugely influential books such as those of Sven Beckert and Edward Baptist. These two particular authors tie the “peculiar institution” of slavery in American history to capitalism. Many media pundits, as witnessed by recent articles in the New York Times and Vox, jumped on the works of these authors to claim that slavery was “the building block of the American economy” and it made America richer.

Elizabeth Warren’s recent speech to Native Americans and the complete disregard of her fraudulent “Native American” past. Towards the end of the show, Leahy and Carr talked about how Warren had recently taken down a video on her website claiming to show proof of her “native” heritage and how the Boston Globe has been supportive of her lies. Leahy: We are joined on the line now by our good friend, Howie Carr, the talk radio king of Boston. And Howie, Elizabeth Warren went to a group of Native Americans the other day. By the way this is fake Native American Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas. And she said she made mistakes. Did she say what those mistakes were Howie? Carr: She got her usual bombing class. She came in with a bunch of awful proposals. Basically, it’s the same awful proposals she offers to anybody else. Trillions upon trillions of dollars. If Bernie Sanders offered the…

He also explained how many parents are unresponsive while the kids just “don’t care.” Towards the end of the segment, Mike asked Leahy to help get those kids who are causing disruption out of the classroom. The caller was bewildered and stated that many of these “thugs” are causing disruption for those who want to learn. Leahy: Direct instruction is the way to go. But it’s been resisted. It was a methodology that was introduced by a professor then at the University of Illinois who then went on to the University of Oregon. It’s been very effective when implemented. Now, Thales Academy is the biggest implementer of that. Great test results. So direct instruction is the way to go and it needs to happen. Mike in Nashville I’m not sure if this is the same, Mike. High school teacher calling in. Mike, welcome to the Tennessee…
