Hosts: Darren Weeks, Nancy Levant

3rd Hour Guest: Amanda Teegarden

NOTE: DUE TO AN ERROR AT THE NETWORK, THERE WAS 1:27 OF DEAD AIR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW. THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE ARCHIVE FILE. SO THE SHOW BEGINS AT 1:27 INTO THE FIRST HOUR.

Education is the topic that kicks off the show this week, as the government is promoting curricula that is designed to teach children to think internationally. We discuss the International Primary Curriculum, which goes back as far as the 1980s. Then, we play audio from a tech show where emoji are discussed. They are the little pictures that are sometimes referred to as emoticons, but there are several other pictures that go along with the faces. With alarm, we ponder the ramifications of learning that emoji are quickly taking the place of actual words among the younger generations. We turn our attention to the ISIS/ISIL/IS terrorist group, with more audio evidence that the U.S. is building them up, even as they claim they are fighting them. We also expose an incredible and blatant example of government censorship in relationship to the origins of ISIS. In the final hour, we welcome Amanda Teegarden of the Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise. Amanda discusses the rollout of thousands of smart meters in her state, accompanied by a rate hike, and the public hearings that have been held.
