Public dollars. Private schools. Political firestorms. In this episode, Kevin talks with long-time school choice advocate John Schilling about what happens when education funding follows the student instead of the system. They dig into the proposed federal scholarship tax credit: what it is, who it helps, and why supporters say it's about opportunity—not ideology. Opponents fear it's the beginning of the end for public schools. Advocates say it's already helping students, especially those in underserved communities. From Florida's model programs to Washington's sharp divisions, this conversation reveals how political will, policy design, and real family needs are shaping the future of school choice. If education is supposed to be about students, then maybe the money should be too. This might be what you want to know.

Interview with Rep Tony Locke.  Property Taxes and the Rocky Mountain Power rate hike.

In this episode of Primarily Political, we delve into the profound inquiry of what it means to be a person, particularly in the context of the Netflix exclusive film, The Electric State. The film raises compelling questions regarding the nature of personhood, especially as it pertains to the distinction between humans and robots, prompting us to consider the implications of sentience, consciousness, and moral agency. As we navigate the narrative, we identify political actors—both commendable and reprehensible—reflecting on the real-world parallels of exploitation and marginalization depicted in the film. Hosting this discussion, we, Andy Walsh and Joshua Noel, engage with these themes from a Christian perspective, urging our audience to reflect on the ethical ramifications of power dynamics within society. Ultimately, we invite listeners to ponder the broader societal implications of our treatment of those deemed 'other', whether they be robots or marginalized individuals in our communities.The podcast episode delves into a significant inquiry regarding the essence of personhood, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence and robotics, as showcased in the Netflix film "The Electric State." It commences with a critical examination of what defines a person: Is it merely the biological composition of flesh and blood, the possession of a soul, or the capacity for independent thought? This foundational question sets the stage for a nuanced discussion that emphasizes the film's portrayal of humanoid robots as entities striving for recognition and agency within a society that has relegated them to the margins.As the narrative unfolds, the film portrays a dystopian world where robots, initially designed for menial tasks, rise against their exploitation, leading to a segregation reminiscent of historical patterns of oppression. The podcast hosts draw parallels between the film's narrative and real-world societal dynamics, provoking thought on the ethical treatment of sentient beings and the implications of technological advancement. Millie Bobby Brown's character embodies the struggle for familial connection amidst a backdrop of societal division, prompting a deeper exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by both human and robot characters. The episode not only critiques the societal structures that perpetuate inequality but also highlights the need for empathy and understanding in our interactions with those who differ from us, whether they be humans or artificial constructs.Furthermore, the episode transitions to a discourse on political leadership, contrasting the motivations of historical figures such as George W. Bush and Barack Obama with contemporary leaders, who may prioritize personal power over public service, such as Donald J. Trump. This examination serves to underscore the importance of ethical governance and accountability, inviting listeners to reflect on the nature of leadership in an increasingly complex world. Ultimately, the podcast encourages a critical reassessment of our relationship with technology and the ethical responsibilities that arise from our choices, both in fiction and in our daily lives.Takeaways: The podcast delves into the philosophical implications of personhood as portrayed in the film The Electric State, questioning the definitions that separate humans from robots. A significant theme discussed revolved around the consequences of power dynamics, highlighting how both humans and robots justify their actions in pursuit of dominance. The hosts emphasize the moral complexities inherent in political actions, specifically reflecting on how exploitation and fear can lead to segregation and violence. Through the lens of Christian values, the podcast critiques the tendency to prioritize power over compassion in political leadership, underscoring the importance of service to others. The episode also explores...

The conversation covers a range of topics including economic strategies related to tariffs, U.S.-China trade relations, immigration policies, political climate, state leadership changes, cultural demographics, and the future of American identity.
