SPECIAL NEW EPISODE DROP! This is Part 3 of 3 (Listening in order is recommended). I am getting very 'up close and personal' as I do something I have not done since I began the podcast in 2020-- tell "the rest of my story." This is part of MY life after the suicide loss of my son Alex Mullins on August 7, 2016In the 3-part series you get Part 1, "The Rest of My Story" Part 2 - "My Analysis", and that will be followed by this one - Part 3, "Can Words Kill...What Now?" In Part 3, I discuss how this is relevant to you - my audience. And WHAT do we do? HOW do we DO anything?? This is just the start of me telling anyone who will listen to what started in August of 2016 at Truman State University with my son Alex's suicide... and what we had no clue about that became a nightmare on top of a nightmare for many, not just us. "Free Will" serves as a center point of this story: free will and a disturbed individual with a death obsession and malice in his heart. The question of free will is complicated in most suicides, but how does it factor in when another person is right there - influencing or bullying or even reasoning or coaxing...?  So, it's time to tell the story. The world needs to know because I KNOW I am not alone in this, or similar, situations - and that pains me. We need to draw attention to bullies, toxic relationships, and more that lead our kids straight to taking their own life. We need answers, accountability, and more. Let's have conversations! Find the Essay I read in this episode HERE. It's called Talking Suicide Blues by Jeannette Cooperman, published on January 31, 2022. In my opinion, it's the most accurate article written to date.

Eric Schmitt, US Senator from Missouri, joins Liberty & Justice with Matt Whitaker, Season 3, Episode 5.  Presented by American Cornerstone Institute.  Learn more about ACI at https://americancornerstone.org/  Watch every episode of Liberty & Justice at www.whitaker.tv. Eric Schmitt is a sixth-generations Missourian, from a family of farmers, teachers, and small business owners who have lived and worked in the Missouri cities of Tipton, Pilot Grove, Louisiana, and St. Louis. Eric's grandfather served in the 7th Army during World War II and saw major combat as an infantryman. After the war, he returned to Missouri to start a small butcher shop, where Eric's father would later work. His father worked his way through night school to provide for his family while earning a diploma. Eric watched his father work 7 days a week on the midnight shift at the Anheuser-Busch brewery to provide a better life for his family, an experience that taught him the value of a strong work ethic. Eric and his wife Jaime have three children: Stephen, Sophia, and Olivia. Their son, Stephen, was born with a rare genetic condition causing tumors on his organs. He also has epilepsy, is on the autism spectrum, and is non-verbal.  Stephen was Eric's inspiration to run for office to be a voice for individuals like him and their families. One of Eric's early legislative victories was taking on insurance companies by leading a bipartisan effort to ensure Missouri families are covered when they need it the most – including therapies for autism. On November 8, 2022, the citizens of Missouri elected Eric Schmitt as the state's next United States Senator. Since 2019, Eric has served as Missouri's 43rd Attorney General. Eric also led the fight to secure the border and make America energy independent. Working with a broad coalition of attorneys general, Eric ensured successful border policies were continued while fighting for domestic energy exploration to lower the price at the gas pump. Eric attended DeSmet Jesuit High School and went on to graduate cum laude from Truman State University, where he founded a Habitat for Humanity chapter. After graduation, he attended law school at Saint Louis University, where he received his J.D. and served as an editor of the Law Review. Matthew G. Whitaker was acting Attorney General of the United States (2018-2019).  Before becoming acting Attorney General, Mr. Whitaker served as Chief of Staff to the Attorney General. He was appointed as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa by President George W. Bush, serving from 2004-2009. Whitaker was the managing partner of Des Moines-based law firm Whitaker Hagenow & Gustoff LLP from 2009 until rejoining DOJ in 2017. He was also the Executive Director for FACT, The Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust, an ethics and accountability watchdog, between 2014 and 2017.   Mr. Whitaker is the Author of the book--Above the Law, The Inside Story of How the Justice Department Tried to Subvert President Trump.  Buy Matt's book here: https://amzn.to/3IXUOb8 Mr. Whitaker graduated with a Master of Business Administration, Juris Doctor, and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Iowa.  While at Iowa, Mr. Whitaker was a three-year letterman on the football team, where he received the prestigious Big Ten Medal of Honor. Mr. Whitaker is now a Senior Fellow with the American Cornerstone Institute, Co-Chair of the Center for Law and Justice at America First Policy Institute, and a Senior Fellow at the American Conservative Union Foundation.

Should you go to college? Should you send your kids to college? Will they earn more with a college degree? Will the degree provide a better financial future? What is the rate of return on a college degree? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPZM49y8his Unlock the secrets to a financially savvy future as we dissect the age-old belief that college is the golden ticket to success. Prepare to have your perspective shifted with eye-opening discussions on the financial value of higher education, examining the return on investment through the lens of Nelson Nash's "Becoming Your Own Banker." From the societal push towards university halls to the sobering reality of student debt, we navigate the complexities of college funding strategies and the potential of alternative education paths that could lead to prosperity without a diploma in hand. Challenge the status quo with us as we scrutinize the necessity of degrees in today's career landscape, where sometimes certifications can trump years spent in academic pursuit. We share personal tales and data-driven insights that question whether the conventional college experience truly measures up against the backdrop of rising tuition costs and the changing demands of the workforce. Our discussion extends beyond the classroom, highlighting the intrinsic value of continuous learning and the mastery of financial principles that can shape your life's trajectory. Concluding our series, we pivot to practical financial wisdom, contrasting traditional college savings plans with the innovative approach of investing in dividend-paying whole life insurance policies. Through the Infinite Banking Concept, we reveal how this strategy could offer a more advantageous financial outcome, potentially outpacing the gains of a college-funded future. If you're contemplating educational paths or seeking ways to maximize your financial legacy, this episode is an essential guide to charting a course toward true financial enlightenment and independence. So if you want to be able to get real college advice so you can better navigate the college decision and set your kids up for lifetime success, tune in today!

[05:42] “Nelson believed that people need to think. He thinks that's one of the biggest problems Americans have, [that they] have changed into, almost like lemmings, where they have just been taught not to think.” Due to Nelson's skepticism about the education system, he questions whether college is necessary for young people to be productive, successful, and wealthy. After all, if school isn't teaching people to think, what is it teaching? Of course, there are naturally exceptions to this. You don't want a doctor who hasn't trained extensively, nor do you want a lawyer who doesn't know the law, or a scientist who doesn't understand the scientific process. In these cases, school is integral. However, the world is becoming increasingly entrepreneurial, which doesn't take a degree, as much as it takes critical thinking and people skills. Even jobs like coding and programming can be learned in short-term courses, as opposed to a college environment.  This isn't to say that college isn't a worthwhile endeavor. However, it is an expensive one and a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. There is truth to the statement that your earning power is statistically higher if you have a college degree. However, there is also tremendous debt, that may not be necessary depending on what you want to accomplish in this life.  The Cost of Education In the 80s, when Bruce went to Truman State University, the total cost of room, board, and tuition was $1995. And when he graduated and went into teaching, he was making about $19,000. That's essentially a 10:1 ratio. On the other hand,

Creary II, from Long Beach California and former Story County Iowa Supervisor and former Truman State University classmate, Wayne Clinton.    The discussion was lively ,informative and maybe foreboding, with the idea that African Americans, especially young black men were becoming disenchanted, with the Democratic Party and how if that disenchantment is not addressed, helps the Republican Party's efforts  to regain the presidency.   We sincerely appreciate all of the great guests and commentators, who have supported Tangazo throughout the past 6 years and we're looking forward, to having you join us for our live 2 hour broadcast on kdhx.   We also appreciate the staff and management of kdhx, especially the station's General Manager Kelly Wells, for the support, encouragement and the confidence, they have shown in our ability, to make Tangazo a live broadcast.   Find Tangazo and other podcast at podcast.kdhx.org and I can honestly say that, “We will see you on the radio!”

About the Lecture Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson will discuss the interconnection between the American Civil Rights movement and international human rights yesterday and today. Jackson grew up in segregated Dallas, Texas. In 1965, he marched for Civil Rights on Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. The relationship between foreign affairs and the American Civil Rights story was highlighted in an address by Secretary of State Dean Rusk in 1963 and remains true today. “As the matters stand, however, racial discrimination here at home has important effects on our foreign relations. This is not because such discrimination is unique to the United States. Discrimination on account of race, color, religion, national or tribal origin may be found in many countries. But the United States is widely regarded as the home of democracy and the leader of the struggle for freedom, for human rights and human dignity.” -Secretary of State Dean Rusk before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, 1963 (The Department of State Bulletin, Volume 49: “Fulfilling Our Basic Commitments as a Nation, Statement by Secretary Rusk”) About the Speaker Secretary Alphonso Jackson, former Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, has decades of experience in housing and community development.

A crop circle, crop formation, or corn circle is a pattern created by flattening a crop, usually a cereal. The term was first coined in the early 1980s by Colin Andrews. Crop circles have been described as all falling "within the range of the sort of thing done in hoaxes" by Taner Edis, professor of physics at Truman State University.[3] Although obscure natural causes or alien origins of crop circles are suggested by fringe theorists,[4] there is no scientific evidence for such explanations, and all crop circles are consistent with human causation.The number of reports of crop circles has substantially increased since the 1970s. There has been scant scientific study of them. Circles in the United Kingdom are not distributed randomly across the landscape but appear near roads, areas of medium to dense population and cultural heritage monuments, such as Stonehenge or Avebury. In 1991, two hoaxers, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, took credit for having created many circles throughout England after one of their circles was described by an investigator as impossible for human beings to make.Formations are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. In contrast to crop circles or crop formations, archaeological remains can cause cropmarks in the fields in the shapes of circles and squares, but they do not appear overnight, and they are always in the same places every year. Nearly half of all crop circles found in the UK in 2003 were located within a 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) radius of the Avebury stone circles.
