Boomer talked about all the endorsement deals Patrick Mahomes has. We also talked more about Travis Kelce going off on Andy Reid on the sideline of the Super Bowl. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio is getting defense texts from Chris McMonigle saying he is ‘all in'. Jerry has calls from the Super Bowl from ‘feeds' we didn't know existed. Ian Eagle was on the call for the ‘World Feed' and Noah Eagle was on Nickelodeon. Jerry also had NFL Films audio where the Niners were calling Mahomes a ‘regular quarterback' when things were going well for them early in the game. The Moment of The Day involves Mark Chernoff making us share hotel rooms on snow days. In the final segment of the show, Boomer wonders why the afternoon show is having an ‘A-Rod Day'.
Denigrating the SAT is to trendy educational stances as deleting the Abolishing Ice movement is to helpful immigration policy. There are 1,600 reasons—or maybe 5 or 6—why the SAT has validity, and Mike says some of them. Plus, Mike trusts Google to inform him that Hispanic Heritage month starts tomorrow. And we listen to part two of our talk with Vincent Schiraldi author of Mass Supervision: Probation, Parole, and the Illusion of Safety and Freedom.

Public servants jumping roles may have melted the Government's pay freeze. The policy that was introduced for high-paid public servants during the Covid-19 pandemic has now ended. During the freeze, workers on high salaries could only receive pay rises under "exceptional circumstances". New Zealand Initiative Chief Economist Eric Crampton told Mike Hosking people have been moving to different ministries to get a pay increase. He says that leads to a denigration of expertise within any ministry. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a generational divide between who votes Conservative and who votes Labour – and it's a problem for both parties. It used to be thought that as people got older, they naturally became more conservative – but that pattern has broken. Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute at King's College London joins Marie Le Conte to delve into why. “Denigrating young people is an absolute constant throughout human history – we always think the current generation of young people are absolutely awful… all the way back to Socrates.” “There doesn't seem to be a solution to intergenerational connection without a solution to housing because it's so at the heart of life chances, wealth generational, feeling of independence.” Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Marie Le Conte.

I'm sure you have all heard of the term "Doormat". This is someone who allows and permits others to treat them badly to walk all over them. This person does not stand up for themselves and just goes along with the choices and abuses of people around them.The doormat is actually a person who has double standards. A person who is dishonest, so you can have an opinion but I can't. Others can have preferences and wants but mine are obsolete. I need to watch my tone of voice but others can yell and shriek. The person who's being the doormat (and maybe that's you) is perpetuating a lie, the lie that someone needs to be the martyr in order for there to be order. Someone needs to take the blame, somebody needs to take the fall and somebody needs to take the higher road in order for everyone to get along. That is a lie.The Truth is, if there is going to be an environment of mutual trust and respect, then every individual needs to be honest, every individual needs to show up responsible and humble. Nobody is shouldering the blame, no one is shouldering the abuse or covering for someone else, dropping empathy, compassion and awareness.When the doormat finally stands up and begins taking responsibility and begins to expect others to also take responsibility. It may look like all of a sudden there is dust and dirt and a huge mess being made all over the floor. But the Truth is, that dust and dirt and mess has always been there, you (the doormat) were covering it up. The doormat is the ultimate controller. The doormat keeps everyone else's selfishness a secret. That's why people like using a doormat, that's why people like using you because you are so willing to hide their distortions. Hosted on Acast.

Dan's plans for today's show go out the window, as he hears a quote from Denver mayor Michael Hancock during the top-of-the-hour newscast. Bottom line? Hancock acknowledges systemic racism within police departments across the country, including Denver, in an effort to win over the woke mob and 'Black Lives Matter' protesters. Meanwhile, he leaves his hard-working men and women and blue hanging out to dry. Dan isn't having it, and zeroes in on Hancock's motives and message.

Better Options Initiative ("BOI") focuses on making our region a better place for children, preventing parental alienation, and helping adults focus on effective parenting skills when their families are living in conflict. Formed in late 2015, BOI has a mission to mitigate the rate and magnitude of high conflict divorce and the consequential lasting negative effects on children. BOI works with the legal community, mental health professionals, and clergy to provide research-based alternatives to divorcing parents in an effort to disrupt the transgenerational problems associated with high-conflict divorce within the Acadiana area. In other words, BOI gets people to talk about the heart of what is important: providing safe and loving spaces for our most vulnerable, our children, who need a loving hand as they navigate through their childhood and young adulthood. This episode features Dr. Luke Elliott and Dr. Eric Green who discuss the genesis of BOI and the empirical data which conclusively shows that children need stable and loving parenting in order to thrive in their own relationships, work and life as they mature. Children from divorced homes have more problems than children from intact families. This data is most easily obtainable when you can track divorces through the public records. However, BOI quickly realized that with an ever increasing number of people who never marry, the odds are that familial problems are more intense and more frequent in unmarried households because the families don't have the societal structure and support of a traditional marriage to work within. To benefit from the most effective upbringing, children need two parents, no matter whether the parents are man and woman, or two partners committed to their wellbeing. Most interestingly, BOI found that divorce is not the underlying cause of the most harm to a child: if parents divorce amicably and maintain a good relationship as they raise their children, their offspring will thrive. But if the parents fight and stay married, more harm can be caused. Divorce is a process, the fights and arguments start at least two years before there is a separation. Then the legal delays of filing, continuances, attorneys, and a myriad of court dates about who gets to keep the child can be a six-year process. When the adults are tied up in their own survival and battle, they don't have the time or energy to devote to their children. Judges and Family Court Advocates have names for the adults who are in and out of the court system fighting over their community property and child custody: frequent fliers. 20% of the people in court represent over 80% of the time spent by judicial resources in dealing with family feuds. And that's where the harm comes to children caught up in their parents' fights. BOI reminds people that they brought their child into the world, and their child loves them and needs love and tender support. BOI is working to change the community mindset about what is acceptable in our society when it comes to raising children. Just as societal norms have changed about the dangers of smoking and drinking while pregnant, societal norms can also change about the treatment of children by adults who have split or in turmoil. Dr. Green listed a few things to look for as you visit with friends or family and wonder if their children might be adversely impacted by a parental split: Denigrating the other parent in front of the child. Withholding gifts or messages from the other parent. Shutting off contact with the spouse/partner's extended family. Asking the child to spy on the other parent for evidence to use against them or in a court hearing as evidence. This is part one of two episodes on the important work of Better Options Initiative. Our next episode with feature two professionals who provide the training for families to learn effective parenting skills. For more information, please visit www.

Chuck Morse is joined by Wesley J. Smith, Fellow at The Discovery Institute and author of "The War on Humans." About the E-book The War On Humans Book CoverThe environmental movement has helped produce significant improvements in the world around us—from cleaner air to the preservation of natural wonders such as Yellowstone. But in recent years, environmental activists have arisen who regard humans as Public Enemy #1. In this provocative e-book, Wesley J. Smith exposes efforts by radical activists to reduce the human population by up to 90% and to grant legal rights to animals, plants, and Mother Earth. Smith argues that the ultimate victims of this misanthropic crusade will be the poorest and most vulnerable among us, and he urges us to defend both human dignity and the natural environment before it is too late. Named by National Journal as one of America’s leading experts in the area of bioethics, attorney Wesley J. Smith is a Senior Fellow of Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism and the previous author of books such as A Rat is a Pig is a Dog is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement, Consumer’s Guide to a Brave New World, and Culture of Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America. Smith also writes the popular Human Exceptionalism blog at National Review Online. Table of Contents Introduction: People Are the Enemy Chapter 1: Deep Anti-Humanity Chapter 2: Homo Sapiens, Get Lost Chapter 3: Global Warming Hysteria Chapter 4: Pardon Us for Living! Chapter 5: The “Rights” of Nature Chapter 6: Pea Personhood Chapter 7: Ecocide—A Crime against Humanity? Conclusion: Old Faithful Is Not a Person Excerpt from the Introduction: “People Are the Enemy” In 1972, Canadian science broadcaster David Suzuki told some giggling students, “One of the things I’ve gotten off on lately is that basically… we’re all fruit flies.” But that was just the start: Suzuki then likened us to “maggots” who are “born as an egg” and “eventually hatch out and start crawling around,” eating and “defecating all over the environment.” Denigrating humans as maggots was edgy back in the hippy-dippy days (and Suzuki looked the part with his long-hair and John Lennon-style glasses), but few took such assertions very seriously. They were made to shock or get attention more than to express genuine misanthropy. Back then, the environmental movement didn’t generally denigrate human beings. Rather, it advocated preventing and cleaning up pollution, protecting endangered species, and conservation as a matter of human duty. Those are noble goals, ones which I support. Unfortunately, the primary values of the original environmental movement have gone the way of bell-bottom jeans. In recent years, like termites boring into a building’s foundation (to borrow a Suzuki-type metaphor), anti-humanism has degraded environmentalist thinking and advocacy. Indeed, environmental activists today routinely denigrate humans as parasites, viruses, cancers, bacteria, and murderers of the Earth. Suzuki, now a world-famous celebrity and anti-global warming activist, certainly hasn’t changed his old anti-human views. When asked by a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation interviewer in 2009 about how his “not very optimistic” perception of humanity has changed since he called people maggots, Suzuki merely deflected the question, noting that racism had lessened but also lamented that “Humanity is humanity… I just wish they’d stop being so human!” The popular culture has certainly embraced Suzuki’s anti-humanist theme.

Smith… [In The War on Humans] Smith has now written a riveting expose of this multi-dimensional assault on human beings that for life saving reasons—I kid you not—must be read by human beings beyond their political, religious, and all other affiliations.” —Nat Hentoff, Syndicated Columnist “The War on Humans is terrific. Within the world of benign and admirable conservation and ecological-awareness organizations, an irrational and misanthropic ideology has metastasized that in its fanaticism is as dangerous as the fascist and communist crusades of the past century. In The War on Humans, Wesley Smith succinctly exposes the “philosophy” and the aims of this movement, cites its deep unreason, and brilliantly extrapolates the horrors inevitable should it triumph. Sincere conservationists should be concerned if only because anti-humanist thinking has the power, in the social and economic destruction it would create, to discredit even those with humane and reasonable goals of conservation, preservation, clean water, and clean air.” —Dean Koontz, Bestselling Novelist “It used to be said of certain kinds of scientific utopians that they loved humanity, but didn’t like any actual humans. Now many scientific utopians don’t even like humanity. Wesley Smith grasps the dangerous paradox of thinkers whose first step in exalting nature is to attack human nature. In order for nature to have ‘rights,’ it has become necessary for humans to have none. This is always the first step toward tyrannical dehumanization of real human beings. We owe much to Wesley Smith for keeping vigil against this deeply anti-human strain of modern thought, for issuing another timely warning before it is too late to avoid another self-inflicted humanitarian catastrophe.” —Steven Hayward, Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy, University of Colorado, Boulder
