The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:00pm- Sarah Parshall Perry—Senior Legal Fellow for the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss oral argument in the Supreme Court case U.S. v. Skrmetti which will determine the legality of Tennessee's prohibition on “gender affirming care” for minors. 4:30pm- Mysterious Drones Near Trump's NJ Golf Course. Chris Nesi of The New York Post reports: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a series of mysterious drone sightings over Central New Jersey in recent weeks, not far from President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course. Federal aviation officials have shut down the airspace over the private club as well as a nearby army facility after several residents reported seeing suspicious drones flying overhead in the past two weeks.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/12/03/us-news/suspicious-drone-activity-near-trumps-nj-golf-course-prompts-fbi-investigation-faa-airspace-restrictions/ 4:40pm- On Tuesday night, ballot counting concluded in California's 13th Congressional District with Democrat Adam Gray defeating current Congressman John Duarte (R-CA). Republicans will hold a 220 to 215 seat majority in the House of Representatives—though with Matt Gaetz's resignation and Elise Stefanik and Michael Waltz presumably leaving for cabinet positions, Republicans will have a slim two seat advantage until those vacancies are filled in early April.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/04/2024): 3:05pm- According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, president-elect Donald Trump is considering replacing his Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), or former Pentagon official Elbridge Colby. On Wednesday, Hegseth spoke with the press on Capitol Hill and revealed that Trump encouraged him to keep fighting during a conversation earlier in the day. 3:15pm- Though no Republican Senator has publicly opposed Pete Hegseth's nomination to Secretary of Defense, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) revealed that he believes the allegations against the Fox News host are “disturbing.” 3:20pm- Rich argues that Republicans need to support Donald Trump's cabinet appointments—as this might be America's best chance to combat a massive, overreaching federal government. 3:30pm- In a statement on Truth Social, Donald Trump requested that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley remain in his position following the party's big Election Day wins. 3:40pm- Police Hunt for Gunman Who Killed UnitedHealthcare CEO: Chelsia Rose Marcius and Maria Cramer of The New York Times report: “A furious manhunt was underway in Manhattan after the head of one of the nation's largest health insurers was gunned down on Wednesday morning in what the police called a ‘brazen targeted attack.' A gunman lay in wait for the executive outside a hotel in Midtown, the heart of the city's business and tourist districts, and opened fire before fleeing into Central Park, according to investigators. Surveillance video obtained by The New York Times showed the gunman walking up behind the executive, Brian Thompson, as he approached the New York Hilton Midtown around 6:45 a.m. The gunman fires on Mr. Thompson, who stumbles and manages to turn toward his assailant. Investigators said the pistol jammed during the shooting, but the assailant quickly cleared the jam and resumed firing.” You can read more on this developing story here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/nyregion/brian-thompson-uhc-ceo-shot/shooting-midtown-nyc-united-healthcare-brian-thompson?smid=url-share 3:50pm- On Wednesday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral argument for U.S. vs Skrmetti—a case which centers around the legality of Tennessee's prohibition of “gender affirming care” for minors. During one exchange with Tennessee Solicitor General Matthew Rice, Justice Sonya Sotomayor bizarrely compared irreversible gender transition surgeries to side effects from taking an aspirin. Another notable moment featured Justice Sam Alito highlighting that there is no evidence that “gender affirmative treatments” reduce suicide—dismantling the argument that gender transition surgeries for minors amounts to life saving care. 4:00pm- Sarah Parshall Perry—Senior Legal Fellow for the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss oral argument in the Supreme Court case U.S. v.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/12/2024): 3:05pm- Green Energy Costs Automakers 2,450 Jobs: The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes, “Stellantis is showing what the real green-energy transition looks like: On Friday the auto maker announced plans to lay off 2,450 workers in Michigan as it ramps up electric-vehicle production…Car makers are struggling to sell higher-priced cars as consumers pull back after three years of inflation. At the same time, the rich labor agreement that Stellantis, Ford and GM struck last autumn with the United Auto Workers is raising costs. The companies need healthy profits from gas-powered trucks to subsidize their money-losing EV production. Hence Stellantis's scramble to slash costs. The company last month announced buyouts for salaried workers in the U.S. On Friday it said it will lay off as many as 2,450 production workers in Warren, Mich., where it produces its classic Ram 1500 pickup, as it rolls out a new electric model. Workers can send a thank you card to UAW president Shawn Fain.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-real-green-energy-transition-auto-maker-layoffs-stellantis-6fea81f9?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 3:15pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips. Doesn't that sound familiar? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been openly campaigning on a “No Tax On Tips” pledge for months. Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips. 3:40pm- While speaking with Jonathan Karl on ABC's This Week, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance said of Kamala Harris's failed attempt to crackdown on unlawful migration: "We have a wide-open Southern border because our border czar actually set a lot of open border policies." 4:05pm- NIH Violated First Amendment, Deleted “Animal Testing”: Emma Camp of Reason.com writes: “The National Institutes of Health (NIH) violated the First Amendment rights of animal rights activists whose social media comments were deleted by the agency, a federal appeals court ruled last week. The agency had been deleting all comments on its Facebook and Instagram pages that contained certain keywords related to criticism of the agency's use of animal testing. Comments containing words like animal, testing, and cruel were singled out for deletion as part of a broader policy of deleting ‘off-topic' comments.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/08/06/the-nih-deleted-comments-criticizing-animal-testing-a-federal-court-says-that-violates-the-first-amendment/ 4:30pm- Biden Had Health Scare Prior to Dropping Out of Race: Managing Editor Noor Ibrahim of The Daily Beast writes: “Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department rushed to clear roads and secure the perimeter of a hospital that had been placed on standby to treat President Joe Biden for a medical issue last month, according to radio transmission recordings obtained by the Daily Beast. It remains unclear what exactly the undisclosed medical issue was, though the White House announced later that day he had been diagnosed with COVID-19…The radio transmissions were broadcast on July 17, after the president abruptly canceled a speaking engagement on a campaign trip in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he was set to address Hispanic voters at the UnidosUS event.” You can read the full report here:  https://www.thedailybeast.com/listen-vegas-cops-scramble-to-secure-hospital-for-biden-health-scare?ref=author 5:05pm- While speaking with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden briefly mentioned Nancy Pelosi by name when asked about dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden quickly caught himself and pivoted. But as Rich notes, we all know Pelosi (along with Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and former Obama Administration officials) played a crucial role in removing Biden from the top of the Democrat Party's 2024 ticket. 5:20pm- During an interview with Jen Psaki, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called Joe Biden one of the greatest presidents ever—but that he was not on a path toward victory in 2024, suggesting the switch from Biden to Kamala Harris was entirely about winning. 5:30pm- During his interview with CBS News chief election correspondent Robert Costa, President Joe Biden called Donald Trump a “genuine danger to American security.” Shouldn't Biden moderate the rhetoric considering Trump was nearly assassinated less than a month ago? 5:40pm- Minnesota Bartender Says Walz's COVID Policies Bankrupted Her Business: Steven Vago and Chris Nesi of The New York Post report: “A former Minnesota bar owner who now commutes two hours a day to sling suds in neighboring Wisconsin said Gov. Tim Walz's restrictive pandemic-era lockdowns in the state ‘decimated' local businesses—and caused financial ruin for those who stood up for their livelihoods. ‘I think he's an evil man who overstepped his role as the governor. He took small businesses and ripped them up. He destroyed us,' Lisa Zarza, 52, told The Post.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/11/us-news/minnesota-bar-owner-says-evil-tim-walz-forced-her-into-bankruptcy-with-covid-closures/ 6:05pm- Copyin Kamala or CopyCat Kamala: During a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris advocated for a new policy which would end taxes on tips.

Also worth noting, Harris was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act—which expanded the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and consequently its ability to crackdown on unpaid tips. 6:10pm- According to reports, at her recent rally in Arizona, Kamala Harris required attendees to provide identification before being permitted to enter the event. Ironically, in the past, Harris has suggested voter ID laws are racist. 6:15pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. Similarly, UK Police Commissioner Mark Rowley has threatened to extradite and imprison American citizens over online posts. With Democrat vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn't extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign's platform? 6:30pm- Taylor Riggs—co-anchor of Fox Business's The Big Money Show—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bidenomics and the impact it has had on the U.S. economy. Plus, did Kamala Harris really just steal Donald Trump's “No Tax On Tips” policy? 6:40pm- Congressman Ryan Zinke—Representative for Montana's 1st Congressional District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's recent campaign rally in Montana.

Dr. Stephen A. Furlich - Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication. This is episode 659 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Stephen Furlich is the author of Nonverbal epiphany: Steps to Improve Your nonverbal Communication. He is also the best-selling author of a breakthrough book, Sex Talk: How Biological Sex Influences Gender Communication Differences Throughout Life's Stages. He has taught and researched communication at the university level for over 20 years. He has taught a variety of communication courses with the main focus of better understanding oneself and others. Often, his research projects and the courses that he taught, complemented each other and led into innovative directions. Dr. Furlich has been an associate professor at Texas A & M University since 2018 and served as an assistant professor there for five years prior to that. He has presented at many conferences, including: DFW Metroplex Linguistics Conference, Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education Conference, E-Learning Conference, National Communication Association Conference, Southern States Communication Association Conference, International Academy of Business and Public Administration Disciplines, and International Conference of the American Pragmatics Association. Dr. Furlich, who was recently interviewed by One America News Network, has been published in numerous journals, including: Texas Speech Communication Journal, Kentucky Journal of Communication, The Florida Communication Journal, Journal of Applied communication Research, Academic Exchange Quarterly, Journal of Integrated Social Sciences, and Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. His communication paradigm is from a receiver's perspective. This places the emphasis on the listener to better understand from the speaker's perspectives and as a speaker emphasizing understanding from the listener's perspectives. Both of these become more challenging as differences increase between the speaker and listener. Dr. Furlich has become fascinated with technological advancements in science that have enabled a better understanding of communication. Without these scientific advances, understanding communication is quite limited. This line of research has inspired him to write this book to bring together many different scientific studies to better understand the role of biology with nonverbal communication cues.  He earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education, a Master of Arts in Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Tech University. He resides in McKinney, Texas. Our focus today is his book - Nonverbal Epiphany: Steps to Improve Your Nonverbal Communication.  Lots to learn! Thanks for listening! Before you go...

Coach Carlos Johnson - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents. This is episode 654 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. As a professional speaker, trainer, and author, Carlos Johnson, aka “Coach Carlos,” is locally bred, but his work and research on culture and engagement have taken him across the nation and globe. Coach Carlos and his team of consultants have utilized his experience and research to successfully turn around three failing public schools and one private Christian academy. In addition, his training and strategies have helped to change school culture and increase parental engagement, student enrollment, and staff and student retention. His driving belief can be best summarized by the following quote: “After 20 years of research, all evidence confirms that a highly engaged school culture is the mother of high performance!” The research and results from this philosophy led Coach Carlos to create his systematic approach to revolutionizing school culture by teaching districts how to build healthy performance-based relationships and institutionalize stakeholder engagement. In 2015, Coach Carlos stepped into principalship, and during his three-year tenure, he doubled school enrollment, increased staff pay, transformed school culture, and increased student performance schoolwide. In response to the national school-to-prison pipeline crisis for young men, Coach Carlos created an online Tier-2 PBIS behavior and leadership course for boys called Future Man Success Prep. In addition, his PowerEngage system is an online/on-site system that trains thousands of parents, students, and instructional teams each year on the psychology and practice of engagement. Coach Carlos is committed to transforming institutions and individuals through leadership and learning. Our focus today is his book - Power Engage: Seven Power Moves for Building Strong Relationships to Increase Engagement with Students and Parents. Coach Carlos has an awesome focus!

Brittany Holmes - Second World: The Warnings 212. This is episode 645 of Teaching Learning Leading k12, an audio podcast. Brittany Holmes has a passion for educating children. It began with writing on her teachers‛ chalkboards after school. Her favorite feeling was the silky, smooth chalk caked on her fingers. Fast forward many years later, Brittany found herself a mom to Triston, a boy with special needs. Being an educator, she never imagined that she would have a child who struggled academically. Triston is also on the Autism spectrum; and Brittany soon realizes the same feelings that were soothing to her growing up, irritated her son.  As much as she loves Triston, she could not deny the difficulty in raising a child with special needs. A huge support to Brittany was her mom, affectionately known as “Nana”. Nana doted on Triston, and displayed patience with him during his most difficult times. Brittany is the author of a children's book series - A Boy and his Nana. Brittany Holmes also is the author of the "212" series. Brittany has been an educator for over 20 years.  She remembers watching a parent trying to register their child for school.  In order for the child to be quiet and not bother the parent, the child was handed a device.  When the parent wanted their phone back because they had finished registration, the child threw a fit.  They screamed and started kicking.  The parent handed the device back and immediately the child calmed down.  She witnessed many incidents similar to this over the years.  So, when she started the 212 Trilogy, a lot of her personal feelings about technology's impact on people, inspired her writing. The first book in the series, "The Writ 212" was written and published 7 days before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world.  Many, who were closed in during the pandemic, read her first book "The Writ 212" and found eerie similarities to the content and the state of the world, calling the book insightful and ahead of its time.  During the pandemic, Brittany released the prequel, "The Warnings 212" which delves into the lives of her characters.  Again, readers found many parallels to the world's future and the book's contents.  Readers of the 212 series share similar concerns about where the world is headed if we continue our dependency on technology.  Brittany enjoys writing about her passions and uses both the children's book series and science fiction series to share knowledge, spread consciousness, and build relationships with those who have similar thoughts and experiences. Our focus today is Brittany's latest book - Second World: The Warnings 212.  Thanks for listening and sharing. Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee.

My guest is a fellow edupodster. Christopher J. Nesi is from House of Ed Tech, among others, and he's an ed tech tool maven. In this episode, you'll hear all about the awesome things he does in our discussion, which ranges from why podcasting is great for teachers and students to sharing some great tech tools and how to use them, and to giving some bold predictions of the future of tech education, as well as technology in general. And speaking of the future - in the very near future, on Aug. 18th, 2022 you can watch the Fauxsie Awards. Aug 18th, happens to be the 3rd anniversary of this podcast. To celebrate, I am honoring the commercial parodies that come near the beginning of each episode and the talented people who helped me make them. We are having a live, online streaming ceremony, where you can meet some of the voices behind your favorite Overthrowing Education fauxmercials. And don't forget to vote. Everyone who does can enter the raffle for great OE swag, and more prizes. You have until Aug. 10th to vote. The competition is heating up, so make sure to get your ballot in. And On July 26th at , I'm giving a free on line workshop to humanities teachers about a game frame I co-created called Battle of the Big Ideas. This fantasy football meets big ideas game frame can be easily adapted to your curricula and student needs.  It's a fun and creative way for students to dig deep into the content while developing the skills they need. This is not a badges or leveling up thing; it's a sophisticated game frame which means that you take the basic frame work of the Battle of the Big Ideas game play, and have total freedom to create the perfect game for your content and students. Come join me at 4 pm PT on July 26th, for this free workshop! Register here. I want to thank my warm and wise guest, Chris Nesi. And special thanks to my husband, Yossie Frankel, who put on his star trek hoodie and socks to help write most of the script for the Star Tek fauxmercial, and he provided all of the male voices, possibly with some help from his star trek shot glass!

One of my favorite compliments I get about The Story Behind book is that people love reading it in the bathroom. At first, people seem embarrassed to tell me this, but in the introductory chapter of the book, I put a PS at the end that says, “I won't be offended if you read it in the bathroom.. So, in case you want to bring the book into the bathroom or you just want something to think about for those awkward moments you find yourself in a stall without any reading material, this episode is for you. You're listening to The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History of the Ordinary. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Toilet Paper.

If you follow @StoryBehindPod on Instagram, you may have seen that I went to Boston last weekend for the Sound Education conference at Harvard University to be on a panel with other history podcasters that included Liz Covart from Ben Franklin's World, Patrick Wyman from Tides of History, and David Stenhouse from BackStory. I respect these podcasters greatly and it was such an honor to be in the same room as them. Because my travel schedule is pretty hectic this month, I only stayed in Boston for one day so I didn't get to experience anything outside of Harvard and the train station, but if you've ever been to Boston, you know that it seems there's history on every street. I got to hang out with Chris Nesi from The House of #EdTech podcast while I was there and he suggested I do an episode relating to Boston. Since any history regarding Boston would be a huge undertaking, I wanted to pick something a little more obscure, but still very much Boston-related. And food is always one of my favorite topics to research. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Boston Baked Beans. Find out more about The Story Behind Book!
