As experts greeted the new generation of “Digital Natives” with extravagant hopes for their high-tech future\, he pegged them as the “Dumbest Generation.” \nToday\, 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. \nKnowing nothing about history\, they are convinced that it is merely a catalog 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. \nHaving 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. \nBIO: Mark Bauerlein is a professor emeritus of English at Emory University and an editor at First Things\, where he hosts a podcast twice a week. He is the author of five books\, including The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or\, Don’t Trust Anyone under 30). His commentaries and reviews have appeared in publications including the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, and the New York Times. \n  \nInterview Here. \n  \nJoined the Conversation\nJD called in about binge-watching the show Price of Empire\, Comcast\, and the elementary school not having the American flag flown on the property. \n  \nHousing is a Basic Human Right? Really? \nJohn talked about how it is not and Jersey Joe called in about what is a right\, how much does the government pay you to…\, Section 8 housing\, and GET A JOB! Then John from Cheyenne called in about solutions to the problem and how we are seeing LBJ and the Great Society. \nComments Here. \n  \nJoined the Conversation\nDan from Blackhawk called in about making RU486 over the counter and then about what he did and the changes he made to increase his income to buy a home.   \n  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hour 3 Podcast\n \n \n \n \n \n ‘It’s the Fed Stupid’\nTom Mullen  \nThe book\, “It’s The Fed Stupid” is a rallying cry to all sides of the political spectrum that the Federal Reserve needs to be eliminated for our economy to truly work fairly for all Americans.   \n*The real reason for drastic income inequality\, the erosion of the middle class\, and the concentration of political power in the hands of a billionaire elite is the federal reserve. The ways in which they do this are not permissible in the Constitution.  \n*Liberals and Conservatives should both be united in the elimination of the Fed. Liberals decry the domination of the super wealthy in our society\, and conservatives don’t want the government to intervene in a free market economy. The Fed plays a major role in manipulating the stock market in ways that disproportionately benefit the super wealthy.   \n*Both sides of the political spectrum spend boundless energy and time arguing over issues that are at their core irrelevant to the larger problem. Tom says they need to stop being distracted by these phantom issues\, and focus on the real villain\, the Fed.   \nBook to be released January 11\, 2022.  URL:https://www.rushtoreason.com/show-notes/01-06-2022/ CATEGORIES:Covid Vaccines,Covid-19,Dr Kelly Victory,Housing,Steve House,Tom Mullen ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.rushtoreason.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/The-Covid-Chronicles-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220113 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220114 DTSTAMP:20260411T192205 CREATED:20220114T171605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220114T184408Z UID:10747-1642032000-1642118399@www.rushtoreason.com SUMMARY:Show Notes DESCRIPTION:Hour 1 Podcast\n \n \n \n \n \n Impossible Question\nClick here for the Impossible Question. \n  \nDr. Kelly and Steve House\nQuestions Answered\nAre there any new covid symptoms to be watching for\, such as possible hair loss? – more for Vaccines \nHow can you tell the difference between flu and covid? \nHow do you get monoclonal antibody treatment? Do you need a doctor’s order? Where do you go? – Explain what they are where they come from \nAfter testing positive for covid\, how long should you expect to wait to see a negative test result? \nHow to test – nose or throat \nCan you get Omicron after having the Alpha or Delta? \nWhat kind of mouth wash to use? \nHow long after having covid should you wait for surgery? \nWhat financial incentive do hospitals have today if you have covid? \nRSV is Spreading Faster Article here \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Among The Vaccines\nSent in from a listener \n“Among all the vaccines I have known in my life (diphtheria\, tetanus\, measles\, rubella\, chickenpox\, hepatitis\, meningitis\, and tuberculosis)\, I want to also add flu and pneumonia \nI have never seen a vaccine that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance\, even when you are fully vaccinated.  \nI had never heard of a vaccine that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had never heard of rewards\, discounts\, incentives to get vaccinated.  \nI never saw discrimination for those who didn’t. If you haven’t been vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person.  \nI have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between family\, colleagues\, and friends. \nI have never seen a vaccine used to threaten livelihoods\, work\, or school. \nI have never seen a vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental consent. After all the vaccines I listed above. \nI have never seen a vaccine like this one\, which discriminates\, divides\, and judges society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It’s a powerful vaccine! She does all these things except IMMUNIZATION. If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated\, and we still need to get a negative test after we are fully vaccinated\, and we still need to wear a mask after we are fully vaccinated\, and still be hospitalized after we have been fully vaccinated\, it will likely come to “It’s time for us to admit that we’ve been completely deceived.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Show Notes & Blog\n \n Search for:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hour 2 Podcast\n \n \n \n \n \n A Pathetic Pattern: Biden’s Coronavirus Evasion Is Nothing New\nLarry Behrens – Power The Future \nWhether it’s soaring gas prices\, record inflation\, or COVID at-home testing shortages\, President Biden and his Administration seem to abide by the same message in the face of criticism: “it’s not our fault.”  \nSo\, when President Biden announced that “there is no federal solution” to COVID-19\, even though he campaigned on the claim that he would defeat the pandemic if only we would elect him\, the shock by many was warranted but misplaced.  \nThe truth is… President Biden and his Administration have been governing like this since day one. We need to look no further than Biden’s awkward dance with his energy failures over the past 11 months.

I am sorry but this doesn’t jive in my mind given all their propaganda\, threats\, and cajoling; thoughts? \nQ: Pfizer’s new oral drug called Paxlovid has received FDA approval and will allow for early treatment so that Covid patients can minimize the impact of the virus on their health\, and perhaps avoid a trip to the hospital. \nQ: Last week Steve asked Dr. Kelly if she Found any correlation between lower back and leg pain and the coronavirus. She said no but Could Steve expound on this theory \nQ: A friend I Missed had told of all the home tests that have been recalled. He works in construction. His co-worker “tested” positive. The homeowners want him to have a negative test because they are liberal. His wife’s work had to send the self-test back because of recall. His daughter has access to the test because she is in nursing school. Those tests were recalled. His Walmart doesn’t have any because they are recalled. All these tests were recalled because of false positive  \nQ: Well\, guess what- I got covid twice. Dec 2nd confirmed with Delta and really sick and luckily got monoclonal antibodies\, got covid pneumonia but at least stayed out of the hospital and got better after 2 weeks. Then got sick again in Jan. 2022 and was positive for covid again. The 2nd covid was much better\, more mild\, but I was still sick. And now I have no sense of smell or taste. I’ve been told I don’t need a vaccine because I have antibodies\, but\, if there’s another variant\, will my antibodies protect me from getting another variant? Do I have any b-cells and t-cells protecting me? Is there a blood test I can ask for which will tell me how much protection my previous covids have given me in my natural immunity? \nQ: Who is Jean Luc Montagnier and who is he to speak on the subject and what is he saying? \nQ: Who is Neil Ferguson and Sage and why they should be looked at very closely.   \nQ: What is your opinion on the AstraZeneca prophylactic monoclonal antibody EvoShield? \nQ: IV Treatments – do they work \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Show Notes & Blog\n \n Search for:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hour 2 Podcast\n \n \n \n \n \n CarBravo.com\n  \nDan Ahearn – CarBravo Senior Manager  \nGM is getting into the used vehicle game\, leveraging technology and its large dealer network.  \nGeneral Motors is introducing CarBravo\, a new way to shop for used vehicles.
