John Zmirak on the Grim Reality of Drug Cartels in Latin America
"Drug cartels of Latin America are they make the mafia in movies like The Godfather look like the little sisters of the poor. Yeah. These cartels will massacre birthday parties and kill all the children in order to get the guy who's the waiter. They will wipe out whole villages. Large parts of Mexico are controlled by these cartels to the point where the government really is not sovereign. It's tragic in 2000. I went down to Mexico for the one time in my life and I went to the city of monterrey. At the time, it was wealthy and coming. It was like Dallas with refried beans and salsa. But I mean, it had beautiful old 17th century churches. And even the slums had a certain dignity to them where people hung out decorations and had religious pictures. And I thought, this is beautiful. If only all of Mexico were like this. I've since talked to people Uber drivers and people immigrants who lived in Monterey scents and it was taken over by the cartels and it is now a hellhole just like Juarez and Mexico City. And it is heartbreaking. There are millions of people good, honest, well meaning family people who would like to live in an orderly society and there's no hope of that in Mexico. A lot of them are coming to America looking for it and the Democrats are using those same people to smash it up.

Aragon's Rise and Fall: Another Example of Decentralization Theater?
"Going to start off with a fresh piece from Danny, Danny, what's up? Yes. So the last week I've been following the rise and fall of an effort to by activist investors to take over part of the Aragon treasury Aragon is a long-standing crypto project that focuses on building tools for daos in it itself was moving toward becoming a Dao by moving control of its treasury to its community. Not the community was really full of lots of activist investors who wanted changes at Aragon and they started making noise about pursuing those changes, including with an investment fund behind them called arca. Well, Aragon didn't like that so much and decided basically to get rid of its governance and to move the Dow from a Dow that controls the organization into a grant making doubt. So this is really a story about decentralization theater. It also will, as I think you noted on Twitter, it's another example of time being a flat circle. It really is Danny. So back in 2021, I'm looking at the piece right now, actually. I reported on a very similar subject with Aragon. It was Aragon association the air gun Dao, Aragon one of was one of the names of the entities. And they had a bunch of resignations believe about 12 staffers left those two entities due to a lack of financial transparency, a cofounder was also essentially forced out at the time. There was a lot of disruption, a lot of people thought that air guide itself was going to shut down. It looked like they were probably just going to sell off the IP to their voting software and the governance platforms they've been building. For those who don't follow air God, it has been around for quite a while. I think most people who have been having a good fingerprint of space for wild know about Eric on, not necessarily like a top project, but definitely a project that people are familiar with has stuck around and has been developing some important governance schemes for daos. But it's been hit twice now with problems that we see over and over again with Dallas, which is some people have power, some people don't. There's money involved. You can't trust everybody. And at the end of the day, someone has to write the checks and things start to fall apart.

Leftists' Mockery of Prayer: A Sign of Religious Bigotry?
"Prayer is part of who we are. And yet there are people, what is it about the gun debate in America that makes the left mock prayer? What is it about this particular, I mean, I know there's a lot of histrionics over the latest mass shooting, and I would be the first to admit, we got too many of them. These are terrible tragedies. These are awful crimes, a mall shooting, or a guy mowing people over with his car. Or a people hacking people up with a machete. Or whatever way, humans figure out a way to harm other humans. Life is challenging and difficult and prayer and our faith is lacking. I heard Mark Davis this morning in Dallas, play a clip of somebody who said, you can take your thoughts and prayers and take your prayers over shooting victims and put them where the sun don't shine. Saying that about prayer, when people pray for healing and comfort after a horrible crime or a death of somebody's loved one, take your prayers and put them where the sun don't shine. Derek, can you help me find out who that is, please? Because I want to play that clip. And I want you to hear what religious bigotry sounds like. Because that's just a bigot.

"But now you've seen people listen their houses for to me a little ridiculous price and they're not selling as quickly so from a strategy standpoint. When someone's selling their home what are you what. What's your guidance. I mean we work for them right. And i think that you know as a kid. I was really into collecting baseball cards. And i would go. And maybe pull. Ken griffey junior rookie card out of it. And let's say it was worth one hundred dollars and my dad would tommy. It's actually worth what someone's a loan to pay right. So i think on paper i. It's really good for the ego and for the soul but the irony is most sellers or buyers right so when you wanna go overprice your house and then you want to get a deal buying i. It's just that crossroads of logic lunacy and so you know maybe it makes the buyer feel good right now that they're getting you know two to three percent off of the list price but again there's factors that we don't really have much control over right now and i think that's a rarity to be a seasoned. You know expert in this field. You have people that. Watch the news or read the paper or get on a real estate appliqued zillow or whatever and they think their houses worth more than it is right but then there's also for the first time ever those unicorn situations or someone's like oh my gosh i love your street name and your backyard has a wind chime. It's perfect will pay. Its we've seen that happen and then when it happens that sets the cops to a higher number right because it sells for price per square foot. You haven't seen in all of a sudden everyone wants to chase that price per square foot so we've seen it happen but i think for the first time ever. Our advice is just that you know. And i think for the first time ever to people will go lists the property as you just never know. I think you're spot on on a lot of things here. And and of course. Housing economies all economies are created extremely complex. Factors that that all all come together but but the reality is and you can correct me on this. We're seeing more people put more cash on the line. More real money may be getting out of equities getting into their home. And so the the prices that i think we're see now are harder and more resilient than a lot of people may be hope they will be. Who are who are buyers at this point in time and whatever inflationary pressures there might be in the broader economy or supply chain issues. There might be which play a factor. I tend to think that Rogers exactly right that. This is not Any kind of bubble in that you probably are going to pay more for your house in dallas texas. Going forward i mean. Is that a fair summary of where you're going. Yeah and then on top of that to talk about taking money out of the market and you know people want a tangible investment and i think that the conversation that still can is continued to be had is when is the stock market can potentially level off and if you can take cash out and not rely on. I don't do stocks. Because i don't know the people that are running the company's right and i want to be able to trust where my money is at and i think people are kind of taking that approach especially the ones that made a lot of money and i think that there's so much stuff behind the scenes now with Crypto currency and with the stock market. That eventually someone's going to take a step back and be like what what what that doesn't make sense. So real estate right were vince. Real estate is gold right even if it if it dips it's always gonna come back especially in place like dallas so i think people like that i also think people from an investment standpoint love the short term rental aspect and being little kind of hotel tycoons. And that's happening. You know in in bulk as well. So yeah i i really. I think when people think of it that way. It's a logical time to purchase a home And i i don't think emotions are really dictating. You know the outcome anymore. How significant a role has low mortgage rates. Played in this i. It's been great right but again people are going to find a way to go. And do it and i think that when you think about an interest rate under three percent historically that's an all time low but historically a six percent interest rate is still really really low so i think lifestyle changes are bound to happen right. It's like you can't go and live this extravagant life in dallas and spend all your money and then still go have a down payment for home. You have to make modifications and we're in the city of thirty thousand dollar millionaires right. So i think that'll be interesting to see what kind of trends happened. Outside of the world real estate. But i'm sure it's all part of it so yeah i think interest rates have been a massive massive help. Well i definitely want to get into commercial real estate here. But i want to ask one more question about the housing market that gets into affordability matter and i think this is. It's really crucial that we figure out a way within our society within our economy to make sure that people who need housing get quality housing that they can build equity and i just tend to think that that is absolutely central to the american project. One thing that we are seeing rodgers. And i'm sort of interested in your take on this is Speaking of the market speaking of hedge funds speaking of kind of investing. That isn't always so easy to sort out. We are seeing a lot of wall street. Firms heavy capitalized firms purchase single family homes. And then get into this short term rental or long term rental market. Are you seeing that or you. Seen it have any effect on the local market. Yeah big time know. But again i think that buying it for short term rentals is probably not as wise as buying it just as a long term investment because we look new orleans is a good case study. The french quarter got murdered by people. The french quarter hotels got murdered by people doing short term rentals and then they put a ban on it right so i. I do think that there's a little bit but it's more risky. It's riskier purchasing properties with the intention for an airbnb or short term of the rpo because literally neighborhood association or a new restriction. Could be put in place to go and ban it. But still you own the dirt and i think people appreciate that i think over pain now is a good deal later on down the road and the same thing for commercial but we're we're seeing prices now dallas especially back you know ten or twelve years ago. We were in the same indexes as blue collar cities for appreciation right which gay people like a feel good but they never. We were never in that miami vegas. La you know new york city roller coaster. And we're still not. And i think people appreciate that because again just the basic economics of supply and demand are here to stay So yeah again over right now you still win the deal and on the commercial side to buy a three or four cap you still.

"dallas" Discussed on The Dallas Morning News
"That's not that's not normal but it's probably because people still wanted to be where they thought they were going to be for the last four or five years and if you realistically look at statistics of real estate especially residential where. You're not locked into something other than a mortgage. You're probably not gonna live there more than three to five years right and then you start looking at the statistics deeper where normally two thousand square foot for every child. You know if it's your first home with your spouse or your partner you might not need five thousand square feet right. And i think that that started kind of change the trends in in general where people could get a deal but i think that the past seventeen eighteen months a deal is a deal that you want right and i don't think people are used to that here Where you saw sellers are more educated than ever before because of realtors and also because of the news that they were actually pricing their homes. Competitively some of them even so they would price it undervalue knowing that they'd get it was like a cadillac. You know so. There's deals to be had but the thing. The thing that i've seen now is people that had homes maybe six or seven thousand square feet. That thought they could double their money in two or three years. That have committed to something else. Maybe there's a way to get a deal on something like that but you know it's still all relative and eventually the question is where these people going to keep going. You know like if you sell your house maybe you can buy. But some of these people on the flip side that maybe you're in a generational home. They've been there for forty or fifty years might not be able to pay their property taxes because their home values gone up so much and they're locked into eight hundred bucks a year and it goes at three grand a year. I think that's gonna be a problem. But again you know it kind of just takes care of itself. And the gentrification affect dfw is moving all four directions. Would you've never seen in real estate anywhere. That's that's really interesting. How help put dallas in kind of perspective. I mean we're how hot are we relative to everybody else. I mean are we we in the middle of pack or we way ahead. I don't wanna use the term hot. I think it's extremely safe. Okay and i think the thing about dallas especially. If you're from here it always was a hard sell right like why would you come. Visit taos other than sports concert and good food. Good booze i mean. It's a it's a city that people like to be home at. And i think once you get past that if you think about the most volatile markets it's normally vegas arizona miami los angeles these cities chicago that are tourist cities right and that means there's probably a lot of transition there. Someone goes to dc. They lived there for two three years and they peace out they moved to. La doesn't work for them. They leave right. they want. It's like and then there's douse or dallas is right in the middle of the country. It's a relatively affordable city. And i think when people can't just press either not to give up button or it's more like the grow up button. This place becomes home. And i think because of that. We have stability now for the next thirty or forty years. What about within our state. Compared to austin houston san antonio those types of markets. I think this is a melting pot. And i think people don't realize it especially the ones that have been here their whole lives dallas has it. It's got a it's culture and it's got an edge in dallas to me is more like a new york city or london versus a houston or austin. And i think the beauty of dallas is your. You could beat an airport in chicago and see someone to be like. I don't know if they look like a la personal chicago. Dallas doesn't have an identity in a really healthy way. And i think because of that people like the fact that this isn't just a straight up texas town and if they need that they can go to fort worth right because it's obviously got some cliches to it so yeah. I think that the intention that we've seen from our city council and our mayors and our leaders has really led to something really really special that most people don't even know that we have now. I really appreciate you. Say that. Because i think it does touch on a lot of What i find appealing about dallas. As i as i travel around the country and that is it is hard to find a place that a is you know Relatively affordable be has a lot of economic opportunity. And see where you can just kind of get into the mix pretty quickly as a person and not feel like you have to adopt whatever the sort of defining culture of the city is. And i don't want to name names austin but There are places where it's it's not affordable opportunity is a little tricky europe and there is a kind of definition to who you need to be That said i wonder how you hang onto that. If you're seeing nineteen percent year over year increases in prices respond. Yeah that's the invitation. We've got the bandwidth okay. Great like an again. It just goes back. From an infrastructural standpoint dow's literally can grow all four directions. Austin runs north and south right. And if you want an affordable housing austin you need to go closer to the hilton new braunfels right here. You can literally go west. You can now go south. You can go east. Everyone's been going north. Which is no longer super affordable. But if we're going to continue growing by the time we have grandchildren. Dfw go to waco into tyler texas so again you know. It's it's you're losing a little bit of the convenience factor right especially people are still working downtown. They're working in uptown. You know if you go twenty miles away. That's a hike but again it's all relative and i think that that's what's unique about our city is that it's like. It's sim city in real life right manhattan. You're on an island. You literally can't build anymore los angeles. You can kind of keep doing it but it's going to be miserable. Dallas has potential to be the biggest city in the country. And it's not going to be a mess an interesting thing. He stated earlier. That i wanted to ask because i think it's relatable to to a lot of people you talked about people price in their homes lower to get in a sort of a bidding war and i've also seen people personally this in my own relationships begin to price things higher rudy and i used to be neighbors in the neighborhood in north west. Alice where i used to live in rudy still lives. There has been a boom. But now you've seen people listen their houses for to me a little ridiculous price and they're not selling as quickly so from a strategy standpoint. When someone's selling.

"Can bring water and said it next to your bed you know you have to attend an appointment. Or you lose your housing. I mean all of these overly paternalistic types of programs while they're well intentioned and they're designed to try to help provide structured individuals. What would they fail to do. Is really account for the importance of Being an independent adult and recognizing you're an individual's own agency in making decisions for their life. So there's been a mismatch in some of the solutions that we've offered in the past and we've been working really hard over the last twenty five years in particular to try to reverse that using data Really trying to to understand the lived experience of those individuals who have have been homeless and letting that shape better policies and programming and approaches. And that's where we're starting to see real results across the country. The the challenge and i think dallas is In a very interesting at a very interesting moment is ken. We make that pivot fast enough before some of those other forces in the market becomes so overwhelming that that is hard to dig ourselves out of out of a whole look. Let me hop in there. Because i think you'll put diplomatically. What i'll put a little more bluntly and one of the reasons that i think you're in dallas is because we have a lot of different diverse groups many with very good intentions. Let's just say all with good intentions that frankly don't always do a very good job a of working together or be of delivering the kinds of services in the kinds of ways that they need to be delivered to help people who are homeless In in a cohesive way and sometimes they actually work at cross purposes And and so one group is doing one thing and one group is doing another thing of the cut. Cancel each other out and You're sort of supposed to help straighten all that out. Am i understanding that. Yeah that's correct. Okay so the approach that we've come to realize As a very viable solution to homelessness is twofold so the first is we have to start investing and rehousing solutions that this idea of taking someone in crisis keeping them in crisis and trying to fix them is not working and the reason. It's not working. Is that all those services that help support you. While you're in crisis you have to go back to crisis to get them so the the rehousing solutions that we've had to bring to bear include moving those services to the housing so that when we get you in housing now all of.

"Here as always with my co-host bush of the dallas morning news the kobe nine hundred pandemic. it was a confusing and challenging time for for most of us in our guest for this episode. Josh smith dallas was certainly impacted. He and his wife. Amanda produce live music and entertainment events for a living and saw their industry screech to a complete halt. But they didn't completely shut down themselves hungry for accurate information and productive dialogue about the virus. And it's many challenges. They started a facebook. Group called the dfw corona virus connection and that group became a goto virtual community for more than twenty thousand dallas fort worth facebook users myself included at the height of the pandemic. So josh we want. We want to hear about all challenges and talk about the facebook group and also banjos to beat your company with your wife. Amanda thanks for joining us and thanks for having me guys. It's nice to be here. Yeah really really appreciate it. Josh in obviously during this whole cova thing people were were looking for sources of information. You became a source of information But but prior to that your real life will is is is bringing together and bringing them around so tell us a little bit about banderas beach. Tell us a little bit about what you went through As a someone who produces shows and what artists went through who were trying to basically cobble together a living. It's not very easy for many artists anyway. So so so we're who are you. What where where were you during the pandemic and where things now from it from an art perspective suri of so my wife and i was started benches to be. It's back in january of twenty ten That was just sort of spurred out of years of music events and festivals in that nature So we started doing shows our first big one national shows and may of two thousand ten at trees In the ten years that passed between That and the pandemic starting we would done well over fifteen hundred shows. Our last big event actually was The last big event we worked was a astra world in houston and travis. Scott festival that was in november of two thousand nineteen And you know it was shortly thereafter that we kind of started hearing grumblings about the this pandemic that was brewing Late january early february twenty twenty. We started noticing we would have sold out shows and You know thirty percent and ticket buyers weren't showing up So the writing was kind of on the wall We started preparing mentally for something to change And then march thirteenth At all kind of came to a screeching halt. We had a a full calendar. Probably one of our best years to date. Was you know in motion That happened Everything kind of shut down on the thirteenth and had a late night idea. Three m We need to do something to bring the community together because you know a lot of what we do in the music business is not just built around booking shows and selling tickets but really building a community and so kind of started the facebook group. Unim- thinking hey it'll be a place for you know the five or six hundred people the homies to kind of connect and You know trade stories and you know. I've got a bag of flour if you've got a bag of sugar kind of thing and within about forty eight hours had gone way past anything we had expected. So how how quickly did it grow. I you know you talk about the music scene in obvious. My my my little side. Hobby fun job is is doing some odd music and i do interact with josh and a lot of the same people and there's a photographer in town. Andrew sherman who shoots everything for for everybody and andrew invited me to the group and and quickly. It became a daily resource. That i was probably more than a daily resource totally. Yeah it Blew up quick man. I would say within the first The first month especially we probably had our biggest period of growth and and got you know probably to fifteen to eighteen thousand members in that. First month You know we didn't know anything we will we will. We're not epidemiologists. We're not experts in the field But we quickly realized like this is gonna be more than just something to you. Know trade stories with our friends like people were starting to ask questions and we were doing as much research as you know we could to try to give accurate information so you know from the beginning. We wanted to stay away from politics. We tried to keep it focused on factual information that obviously got thrown out of the window. Pretty quick just by the nature of of the way things went Talk a little bit about that evolution. Because i think one thing that's really interesting about your your story is you are a guy who has off experience bringing people together literally into a venue you find yourself sort of in a virtual world trying to be Trusted purveyor of information. And now you're in the middle of this very weird political division in our country. I work in this stuff right. I mean this is what i do for. A living is deal with political fighting. I did not see it coming the way that it came for us. So i'm just kinda wondering what your experience was both in in in dealing with the recognition that this was going to be a new reality for you this political fighting online. And then how you try to make sure that the content material you're getting people was valid and Useful sure i mean. At the beginning i think definitely foresaw that there would be a big influx of conspiracy and hearsay I remember the early days of the pan-demic there were Facebook audio messages floating around that was saying like gargle with salt. Water kill the corona virus. Kind of thing And so you know. We saw those kinds of things happening and for saw that there would be a group of people that would probably be spreading. Some amount of disinformation and So for that reason we made it to where posts had to be approved and we've added everything early on Like you said. I did not see it coming in terms of it being politicized the way that it was and it was just being such a straight down. The middle disparity between what one group believed versus what. The other group believed so You know what we did early on was tried not to try to avoid as much as possible putting our emphasis on articles or new news coverage that could be considered bias. So were We started with watch party. That was a great future of facebook. That's now since gone away But we every every trump press conference was a watch party and we would have hundreds of people tune in and common together. And you know the that was always an exciting time. An interesting time So you know. We just tried to stay with that. We stay with the press conferences. You know clay jenkins was on. We were. We were broadcasting. And i have so many notifications and alerts set on on my social media and google alerts and stuff so We're trying to share that stuff in real time once. It started to get kind of weird We we took on a couple of more moderators at that point to try to help us that the information and we literally for the first man. I mean probably the first six months if an article got posted under the group we were reading. We were vetting that we were making sure that one person's voice wasn't kind of overwhelming whole And it was important us to make sure that everybody had a chance to speak their mind. Speak their opinion. Ask their questions. Because you know there was so much uncertainty so we didn't feel good about You know ostracizing any specific people or groups of people Just because they might believe differently from Sort of the core of the group..

And that really is quite frightening to think about the just how much this rock has been pushed up the hill and how quickly it can go rolling back down and so i. I appreciate the the chances that people in elected positions have taken on the board. And i realized those are not without political price but but but boy it's it it's fragile and if we're not careful we'll lose it good. Progress goes to die at the nexus of timidity and politics but you know what what what's interesting is other big cities in how they've reacted i. I'm from the chicago area. follow the chicago. Schools were largely not open right and you guys powered through and kept open and what a great benefit to our young people that that that happened. That's a great accomplishment there and You know i. It's just going to be interesting to see the long term impact as a whole can't wait. I think it's great. I really appreciate you. Guys giving us the insights. It's been hugely helpful. Dustin miguel thank you so much for joining us today and thank you for your service to dallas and the community is a whole entire audience. Thank you for. Listening to the deep side of dallas feel free to email us at deep side at dallas news dot com with questions comments and ideas for rudy bush on paul cordless. We'll.

I think <Speech_Male> that there were things that we could have <Speech_Male> done. Even bigger <Speech_Male> I <Speech_Male> understand the rationale. <Speech_Male> For why those <Speech_Male> things weren't done <Speech_Male> to to the scale <Speech_Male> that that. I thought that they should <Speech_Male> have been done. <Speech_Male> But <Speech_Male> we have to act <Speech_Male> boldly because if <Speech_Male> we don't things <Speech_Male> are bleak one other <Speech_Male> major thing. <Speech_Male> Though that that that. <Speech_Male> I know dozens been working <Speech_Male> on is <Speech_Male> trying to rethink <Speech_Male> the <Speech_Male> paradigm around <Speech_Male> social emotional. Learning <Speech_Male> as kids come back into <Speech_Male> the school and dallas <Speech_Male> is the right <Speech_Male> now is debating <Speech_Male> whether or not <Speech_Male> to completely <Speech_Male> eliminate the practice <Speech_Male> of out of school suspension. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Which again in. My <Speech_Male> opinion is <Speech_Male> an archaic structure. <Speech_Male> That has <Speech_Male> that's time pass <Speech_Male> a very long time ago. <Speech_Male> It's certainly <Speech_Male> not the right system <Speech_Male> when you have a ton of kids <Speech_Male> coming back in <Speech_Male> with the emotion <Speech_Male> social emotional trauma. <Speech_Male> They've been through and <Speech_Male> teachers <Speech_Male> who <Speech_Male> had the exact same <Speech_Male> social emotional trauma <Speech_Male> in many ways. <Speech_Male> And then put all <Speech_Male> this together and say <Speech_Male> this is all going to work <Speech_Male> itself out so dazs ice <Speech_Male> these really rethinking <Speech_Male> and a very revolutionary <Speech_Male> way. <Speech_Male> How they go about <Speech_Male> changing that. <Speech_Male> All that to be <Speech_Male> said <Speech_Male> the thing that i i <Speech_Male> kind of.

"Is you know you mentioned competition. And that's really where they're reads. The road and i think in order to compete to attract students Back to the district number one. You need a better product and in our case that product is making sure that student outcomes are better. And so you know that's where we started because we can't have generation of kids staying idly by while we try to build you know fancy new buildings while what's going on in. The building is not effective. So we we started with improving student outcomes but to your point that is not entirely sufficient. We we also need to market those student outcomes and we need to make sure that curb appeal You know attracts people into our buildings. Because i mentioned the growth in charter schools. What those charter. Schools do have is brand new buildings while the academic success. That's going on in. The classrooms may not be to the same level as disd. They look good from the street. And if you're a parent you know That curb appeal matters. And so we are investing those those bond dollars that you mentioned and improving that curb appeal and every single district every single school in the district and is going to get their priority party to needs addressed. Many of those are things like new roofs and h back but but many but a lot of them are also You know in curb appeal things that you see. From the outside improvements of the grounds the marquees paint At all really matters interesting thing though about the bond. I guess two points i want to make. Is that one going back to this idea of figuring out how you reckon with historical inequities. There were forty one million dollars carved out of this bond to go into Four communities that have historically been neglected. The most in this goes all the way back literal policy decisions that were made. Nearly a century go that this invested in certain communities using something like federal redline maps homeowners on corporation maps as a way finder to go find these these areas of disinvestment and then placing community resource centers that hope to fill in certain gaps in those communities Things like grocery stores or things like medical centers that don't exist right now. That's a really encouraging thing. I think the second thing is when you look at how the bond passed you. Read me a ton of data at the beginning of says people still questioned the quality of the ice and yet the two thousand fifteen bond pass with sixty percent of the vote this recent bond pass with a little less but still passed and a majority of the bond three point. Four billion pass knowing that it was going to be the largest bond ever in the history of the state of texas. So i'm encouraged by those numbers and it makes me believe that there though people will tell you one thing on one survey they'll put their money in disd as we're starting to run short on time here with five minutes or so left I think we'd be irresponsible. Not to talk about the cove impact and I've read stories. You know students are falling behind right. Whether it's you know not having the right infrastructure at home to log in or the right You've got a bunch of students that are behind. i understand. there's a campaign to get tutors to work with kids to help them get caught up. How long do we think this impact will last of kids that you know over the last year and change haven't been able to get the full amount of of education that they normally would. I don't know that. I have a good answer. In terms of the number of amount of time it will take to get them back on track. But certainly there's been substantial learning loss We've seen twenty thirty points slides student performance particularly in math. And so we've got a lot of ground to make up You know what i can tell you is that we're mobilizing very very quickly to address that learning loss as quickly as possible and we're doing that through expanding broadband access. Which is you know something that you you hit on. But we're also doing it with some pretty innovative ideas like bringing in one thousand nine hundred tutors that miguel can talk more about as well as extending the school year Which is something that the board. Just a pre approved a couple months ago where select schools can opt into an intercessional calendar that shortens the summer break and creates Periodic breaks throughout the year. Where students who have fallen behind can attend school during those breaks to get the individual intervention that they need one on one. I'm not a pessimist at heart Really can tell you all about this. He knows that. I am a pragmatic idealist. But let me start with some pretty dark data. Historically texas is very bad at learning recovery on.

"Excellent thirty six percent ranked it as poor thirty eight percent fair and in twenty one percent as good. And if you look at this survey It kinda thousand foot level. Disd is still for residents on dallas. The biggest barrier to the city's success. So help me square this circle. Where are we at this point in time in our public school system. And where do we need to go. Well when you read those numbers. I think about What was the movie with Jim carey and The other guy dumb and dumber. He says so. You're saying a chance. People may believe the disd is getting better. But there's a long way to go. I would say rudy that the system as it stands today is in the best spot. It's been in in quite some time in multiple generations. The fact of the matter is that far too. Many people still and i'll just be blunt are ignorant about the quality of public schools in that. Ignorance is not is not manifest. I think from some bad place issue simply that people are stuck on the historical narrative of disd. And for whatever reason whether it's that the system our system itself hasn't communicated in an effective way or we have and people just don't believe it People will still tell you that it needs to improve but when you look at the data and this is something that does doesn't an i live by the dadar clear. Quantitatively longitudinal early. This system has improved and made market improvement year after year for the past decade on any measurement. Let's get into that dustin. 'cause you're you're a numbers guy you you roll through the data. What are the data points that feel like support. What miguel is saying about the enhancement of the district. You know in the last few years. Yeah i mean there are tons. I've i think the most impressive one for me is the number of underperforming her f- rated schools that we used to have vis-a-vis what we have today. If you if you look back five or six years ago we had forty seven schools. That were rated. I are by the state and this year. We got down to three. And that's probably the most impressive educational statistic anywhere in the country During that same time period we saw third grade reading. Scores improved by eight percent. We've outpaced the growth of the state on average across all assessments by six percent where the fastest improving urban school district and in the country. And you know. I think if it doesn't really matter to be honest which data element you look at. Every one of them tells the same story. But i would echo. What miguel said. I mean if you grew up in dallas like me you're used to decades of reading on the front page of the dallas morning news about the turmoil and the dallas school board and about kids underperforming. And you know. I think that sort of brand that sort of perception takes a while to change. And frankly school districts in general and us included or not very good at marketing. So we've got the successes data to prove it. We just gotta do better job of telling the story to overcome that that brand sure and i love pitching the newspaper under the bus as much as anybody wait. No i don't like that at all. The fact of the matter is that those headlines reflected a reality for alert. I'm not suggesting the headlines. Where an accurate. I think that the school board was dysfunctional. And there for many years we were you know seriously underperforming for our kids but if you look at the last five to ten years there's been a remarkable turnaround underway in the isd. And i think that dallas morning news is gonna done a good job of covering that transformation and additionally i. I'd make the argument that if you look at today's school board and i can say this now objectively. Because i'm no longer on the school board. I think this is one of the best school. Boards that dos. Ice tea has ever had. It is pooled together a very diverse group of individuals with storied backgrounds A very intellectual board. Dallas ice tea is attracting leadership back to the system to then put the tough Changes in place that that need to continue to improve his but have for quite some time in that alone i feel like is a great Testimony to the market improvement. That's happened. Have you guys talked about how to get the word out about the progress i i live in dallas. I'm not a disd parent. I would say generally you know water cooler talk among friends at our parents. I've noticed an uptick in in their feelings about how the school district is doing. But i obviously based on that survey. We're talking about. It's it's not happening everywhere. So is that something strategically that you guys have talked about. Obviously dustin. You're you're living day to day right now. Yeah absolutely in fact we recently just launched a new marketing campaign with the sort of byline of this is home. And we're putting more money behind that than we've never done in the past and we're also starting you know. In addition to that sort of macro level brand exposure we're also starting to make micro level comparisons between schools in particular neighborhoods The superintendent is fond of saying that when he was here the first go round there were something on the order of seven. To eight thousand kids enrolled in charter schools within disd's boundary attendance boundaries. And now that number is thirty. Five to forty thousand and they achieved that success in the growth in market share of students because they were marketing. And what we've started to do now is to make local level comparisons between the local. Disd school and the closest charter alternative and talk about the programs that are available in disd. The athletics that you can get there that you can't get from the charter school of fine arts offerings. That you can't get from the charter school. And the academic performance that actually show that that local. disd school is actually outperforming. The charter school competitor in there has just as mentioning this growth of choice. Opportunity for people. From all across the city has been exponential and it provides a robust set of opportunities that quite honestly never existed in the past including socio economic integration schools where fifty percent of the kids have got to be low income the other fifty percent middle to upper income. Every one of these choice school some of your listeners may know the name solar prepatory school for girls and boys. These schools have all got wait list. And you've got middle class families who are scratching at the door to try to get their kids in so as as choices evolved you started to see some of the water cooler talk Change but i want to take a macro step back for a second and say the conversation around the quality of public schools and the archaic narrative about public schools isn't unique to dallas. This is happening all across the nation. I would actually point to douse to say if there is one city or at least a one of a few cities that is beginning to change the watercooler talk. It is dallas. I'd also point to dc public schools. I point to denver public schools. Although there's been some regression recently there the other thing i'd say is that for a very very long time. Dallas ice sti was a reactive media participant They waited until the bad stories came up and then tried to fight those stories. I would say that over the past decade that philosophy of media engagement has also shifted. And if you go when you just do a general. Google search dallas ice in the news. There are a lot more honest positive stories about the great stuff happening. But let's dig into. Why that is. I don't think that's like a pr strategy right. We got to to get to. What's really going on here. Which i think is probably one of the most important stories in education in the country. We got a dial back. The clock a little bit and look at some really hard political choices that disd made not without a little bit of blood spilled frankly and hair loss and hate inherited us right Thank goodness is a podcast. But what were the critical.

"Paul cordless chief. Communications officer for the university of north texas system. Here is my co host rudy. Bush the dallas morning news. And today we had the pleasure of talking to eight. True dallas icon back in the late nineteen seventies a videotape of dale hansen wrestling. A bear helped him break into this market and four decades later. He's announced his retirement. Effective september second as dean of dallas sportscasters leaving behind the legacy of wrestling with tough issues. And not just bears like domestic abuse gay rights racism child molestation and all the while poking fun at himself having a good time and telling it the way he sees it when it comes to local sports dell hanson. Welcome to the show. We gotta hear about this bear. Everybody does lay for some reason. I voted intrigue. That story has stayed hidden for a long time. but i've always bought of my best stories. I wrestled a bear rosca in nineteen seventy eight. Maybe early seventy nine. I is at the convention. Saturday had a boat show and there was a bear there and i wrestled the barrett omaha nebraska. Well a few months later. I get fired onto brassica and i have any audition dates. I thought i'd never leave omaha quite honestly and i call this buddy. Paul young director i said. Do you have any tapes of our shows by jazz. Because i gotta have something to do. Apply the only one. I got when you did that. Live shot at the boat. Show so i sent it to a head hunter in new york city named shirley barish and she was really a crazy woman and all i had on was like. He's stupid jackets with big mtv logo on it. Because that's what they made us. Where would run on a remote location. And i'm wrestling a bear. And that's basically the gist of all. I've got she calls me and she was a heavy smoker as she really did. Talk like this. I was j body. Are you applying for a job as a sportscaster or to be an auto mechanic at the skelly station. I that's the best that guy. Let me see what i can do. She said the day cosby a month or two later. Got you interview in dallas. And i said and i swear to edgewood texas. How many dallas's d. Because i never. I never dreamed i swear in my wildest dreams i never imagined i fly down to dallas. I'm interviewing for the job. I think i'm i'm thinking it's going pretty well and john mccain and not the john mccain the anchor that i worked with but a different john mccain was the general manager he leans back and he goes all right about this. If i run. If i hire you where you're russell a bear and thinking sure wrestle a bear what are the odds and about six months later there was a 'nother show boat show at the convention center here in downtown dallas and i had to go russell another bear. Wasn't there a scene in the movie. Anchorman where there was a bear. Being wrestled is that with the bear. The bears trained not to go back to overhaul. The guy says to the guy you want to put on a show for these people right. And i said yeah he goes. Hit the bear as hard as you can these that you cannot hurt the bear so the introduced me because everybody else out there and it was like support like if you knocked the bear onto his back. You win one hundred dollars or something. So everybody's after trying to wrestle and the bear is somewhat trade he's got a muzzle on but he just reaches down pulls your legs out knocks you down. Whatever so they introduced me. And i just come running out as hard as not. I wasn't quite as big as i am now. But i was still about ten six four to ten and i go full speed across the stage. I dove into that bear with the best body blocked tackle. you can make the bare. Just kinda shrug that been. I got up. He pulled my legs underneath me. Pinch me again in both cases that i wrestled a bear. I went back to the station. This happened both times true. I went back to my editor. And i said listen. Let's just do about thirty forty seconds. Stops you just. I russell invite five minutes so as let's do it for like thirty to forty second. Just kind of the guy came back and he goes. I'm sorry is there another tape as we should only By thirty seven seconds. I said no seriously. I wrestling for like five minutes. No we ran the whole longest thirty seven seconds long. and i'm on the mat. The bear be like four times that i can't breathe. I can't breathe. So what year do you get to dallas. Nineteen eighty nine thousand eight august. One thousand nine hundred and what i can wondering about and what i haven't really 'cause i've listened to a number of interviews with you have watched you for years. I'm just short of interest at what the dallas scene was like then what dallas sports scene was like been and just if you can take us through that memory lane and we were talking about north dallas forty four it was. It was a lot of that quite honestly you have to understand. I was thirty two years old. And i was single at the time and i used to hang out with the cowboys and the cowboys in nineteen eighty nine thousand nine hundred eighty one eighty two. They go twelve in four twelve and four. Like twelve and four. They go to the nfc. There was a strike year at the end of that but they go to the nfc championship game every year. Lost every they lost every year. But i'm thinking man. I still pretty cool although to find out later. That wasn't good enough for the cowboys fans but in the streets. Yeah well now. They've now they would die for such a thing. But i'm hanging out with you pearson. Too tall jones. And all the guys. And i'm only thirty dude. They're like twenty five twenty six and it was just fantastic and looking back as a little strange because all cowboys all the time and i used to get criticized for it is. I'm gays but the rangers were horrible. Raiders hadn't even sniffed anything yet The mavericks were just coming onto the scene so they were bad for several years and of course we never imagined that we would have like a professional hockey. But what set me apart and what enabled me to get a little bit of a foothold..
