"Recently as I was working on this episode from NBC News. And a weirdly connects the two stories in today's show. In a way, I did not see coming. It's an investigation into a popular conspiracy theory. Maybe you've heard it. It is that school is all across the country, are offering litter boxes to kids who identify as cats. If you hadn't heard this one, sorry. This is all over social media. The story is kids are telling their schools their cats and schools are accommodating them by providing litter boxes. At least 20 Republican politicians have repeated that this is happening, that this is quote a growing crisis that schools are just allowing kids to identify as whatever they want. This gender identity stuff has gone too far and there are kids who are only communicating and quote barks and hisses and it's gotten so extreme that school children are now using litter boxes. So that's the rumor. NBC News looked into this. They investigated each one of these claims and tried to find schools where this is actually happening. They reached out to every school rumored to have a litter box over 20 places. And they found one. A whole school district in Colorado. They had kitty litter. But they were not keeping it because kids were identifying as animals. No kids were identifying as animals. The district, Jefferson county school district, is home to Columbine high school. Schools in the Jefferson district have cat litter in case they have to go into lockdown during a school shooting. The litter is part of their overall plan if there is an active shooter situation. They have litter and buckets. So kids have somewhere to pee. They've kept cat litter on hand for years. Along with candy for diabetic students, a map of the school, flashlights, wet wipes, and first aid items. The litter boxes are about school shootings. I don't know, I just keep thinking about the hours we've spent talking about kitty litter, and the money that went into making this non issue, a series of talking points. On top of other non issues, that also became talking points about where kids pee in school. When in America, we don't have a problem of kids saying their cats and being provided with litter boxes. What we have are adults who have accepted that school

"Here in Jefferson County. Paul DeMarco, former state representative, Paul Welcome back in. Thanks for being here. Good morning, J T you and your listeners. Boy, I'll tell you what this ball incredibly insane teaching of critical race theory in schools is being met now with major opposition here in Alabama, big push to ban this from being taught. And we're not the only state in the country that has said no to teaching this and most recently, even closer inside Alabama Mountain Brook residents in parents rather very upset with potential of this and showed up at the big meeting yesterday. Uh, you know some folks that were there. Talk to those people. How did that go? Well, the parents had already talked to the school board, but now they register their concerns with the City Council, and this all stemmed from the school board having the Anti Defamation League come in and do Some sort of diverse this this training teachers about how how to go back to the kids, and the parents were like no, We don't want you to use the Anti Defamation League. They have a political agenda and to The school superintendent came back and said We will not use the Anti Defamation League. Uh, for the curriculum in the future, so The parents spoke up and the school Cooper superintendent and school board did listen to them. But the parents still have concerns because they want to see the curriculum and they're not being allowed to see the curriculum, the school superintendent school board said. We want the LDL to produce it. They won't even produced the curriculum that they taught the teachers, and that's the concern. Groups like the ideal hiding what they We're teaching these teachers and that's the concern and that's why parents around the country have risen up, said We're not going to let you come in our school system. To teach things to our kids and not know what you're talking about. That's the concern and and kudos to those parents who said no enough is enough to groups like the A. D L It's crazy that this whole critical race theory Is even being brought up in schools and they're trying and you talk about a political agenda based on incidents that took place in this country over the last year and the George Floyd case Being representative. How this entire country feels is ridiculous. This is fringe thinking political thinking the majority of American people Hispanic, black, White Asian get along just fine. Can we improve on race relations? Absolutely. It's human nature when you're different to be different and have thoughts and preconceived notions about different people that are not like you. That's human nature. But can we work on things? Absolutely. But it's this entire country. Based on the perception that critical race theory teaches racist. No, it's not. And when you start shoving that down kids throats It's completely wrong against actually two. As far as I'm concerned, teaching critical race theory is teaching racism. And you can't have groups like the Anti Defamation League, which now they're coming back in criticizing the parents saying, Oh, they just won't hate in their district that just shows their the grown group to be talking about these issues. When there have been critical of the parents, they said, Oh, they're just a small group of parents. It was lots of parents. Lots of citizens in Mountain Brook, who were saying No, no, We want to know what you were training the teachers with and the fact that again they will not produce it. Shows. There's a problem there. If you are, you're afraid or just show. What are you hiding? Well, you won't show the parents that you were trying to the teachers with. That's the biggest issue there that they won't even show it. To the parents that shows they're hiding something. And what are they hiding? What they're trying to parents? What are they talking to the teachers about to go back and teach to the kid. That's well, there's a big There's about And there's a big push from Chris Pringle, who is from mobile going to be introducing a bill next during the next legislative session in 2022, that would prohibit public K through 12 schools from teaching critical race theory. I'm telling you right now parents get involved and find out what your kids are being taught and what they're learning. Okay, They say racism is taught and learned. Hate. Okay, when you see young, black and white kids playing together as Children, young Children, 345 year olds in parks and things they don't know any of this. But the minute they get into these schools, the message is going to be all right. Open up your critical race theory books here And now all of a sudden you're teaching divisiveness that so this to me is taking it in the wrong direction here and parents.

They actually like you know this stuff because, according to a new survey, two thirds of parents say they rely on Google when they help their kids with their homework. I think the kids rely on it to 79% of parents say they do remember some of the stuff they learned in school, but they still struggle, especially with the kids. Math homework. Main reason kids learn math differently today, and it just baffles us that learned it the other way. No wonder the show was so successful, smarter than 1/5 grade. At this point in our lives, probably not survey also found the top ways that parents get out of helping their kid with homework, asking their partner to help instead coming home late doing laundry or other chores, instead claiming to be too tired. Doing an emergency grocery room. Mom, can you help me? I gotta go get some milk, honey, you know, ask, ask your dad. Uh yeah. So are you struggling with that kind of thing? You're not alone.

From illegal side of things. Well, let's continue and talk about as the unity party now in charge. You know, everybody wants to come together now that Joe Biden's You know the president, but that not so much I mean, if if if he's barking unity Still a lot of division when it comes to Pelosi and Schumer and going after the president as far as this impeachment trial that's looming out there. I mean, that's more divisiveness, isn't it? What you're gonna hear. Here's We're already seeing the M O for Joe Biden Unity. We need to work together. And then he goes back to his death. He sounds very divisive. Executive orders. Hey, he is weak and will not back down not pushed Schumer Pelosi to try to unify with the Republicans. Will you this impeachment It's a completely unconstitutional. Try to remove Donald Trump, who has left office. He could stop that himself. The guys, let's move on. He's not doing it again. It just shows they're gonna be running the show. The radical the Democrats, the socialist, not Joe Biden. Amen to that charge. No, there's no doubt about it is clearly they're going into the progressive mode full steam ahead and you're right, and I don't think the Senate You know, conviction will be there. They're not going to get the votes 17 senators from the Republican Party to flip over to convict in the Senate on impeachment. It's really a moot point. And it's you know something. You're right. I think this president should say, Look. I'm not gonna get anywhere with this. Let's move on. And this, you know, you know, doesn't need to happen. But let's just move forward and show some Republicans and conservative voters that You know you're making an effort to work with both sides here, but so far no good. Let's talk about what he's doing now with the repealing the anti abortion restrictions. What does all this mean? The poll after Polish Americans do not want to have taxpayer dollars pay for abortion and already from the very beginning, he said. We're gonna use we're gonna allow Taxpayer dollars to use for foreign aid to pay for abortions in In addition, he's gonna be pushing toe allow that in United States, uh, budgets as well. He again he's taking the far radical. Democrat pushed abortion up to nine months. And he's going to be doing that himself from his leadership. Who he said I'm gonna be. Uh you know, a centrist? No, is not. He is far far like he is not in touch with American public and we're seeing it. We knew that going in It was a Trojan horse approach then and now he's doing everything that the American public will not agree with. Well, let's also talk about this coronavirus. The situation we're in here, he's pledging. I'm gonna have 100 million vaccines and my 1st 100 days and Peter Doocy pushing back on that saying, You know, we're pretty much there now on Biden didn't like the tough questions is Come on, man. You know, I brought this in here. I've got the plan to go forward. Apparently, he's got the magic wine. But while we're still struggling to get the distribution To the point where we needed the amount of vaccines in the right hands and going forward. We're not there yet. But yet he is still supporting funding billions on vaccines to distribute to other countries. And when he ought to be thinking about America first, and apparently, that's not happening. Well, he's rejoined who, an organization that defended China has not held China accountable in your right as opposed to putting Americans first he's only spending millions of dollars to send back seems around the world when we should first. Make sure every American who wants setbacks in gets it first. Before we start word, what's going on around the world? That's what Americans expect and won't And that the money has been spent in this past year by Donald Trump. Just make sure that Americans get their vaccine. He is he is not doing that, And instead he's focused on open borders and abortion and men, athletes and when it comes to how athletes these issues he's worried about. As opposed to should be 100% focused on ending this pandemic. Socialist agenda is like I said, full steam ahead and you mentioned the borders. Of course, he stopped all you know, production of the border. All construction efforts are now stopped. They've stopped deportation efforts right now it's on hold till further notice. So once again, I think we're going to see the surge of Sanctuary cities again around our country, the the no cooperation with ice. I think that's coming as well. And let's talk about the jobs here. My gosh, she talked about how he's going to fix the economy and, you know, help the job situation. What hypocrisy is he shuts down the Keystone Pipeline and union jobs have been cut already. I mean, he's killing jobs right out of the gate. Well, and some of this union leadership that supported Joe Biden has has basically turned on their own members by supporting Joe Biden. Because you're right day one, he shuts down the pipeline. Killed thousands of union jobs. But let's get back to open the border real quick. In the two seconds we have left. We're in the middle of a pandemic. We should be talking about what we're doing lot down to the truth and let all kinds of folks across the board. You don't know if They're infected or not. It's gonna affect the health of this country as well as the jobs we s Oh, those are two issues by opening the borders. He's hurting in the middle of this pandemic again, it shows His true motivation. It's not about taking care of the American public is doing this radical socialist liberal policy that he wants to afford with. It's really, really frightening and 1st 48 hours of his presidency.

Bringing Democracy to the People With Amanda Litman
"So Amanda Run was founded on the day of trump's inauguration. So tell me a little bit about the organization and why you founded it. So I worked for Hillary's for two years before that for President Obama for the Florida Governor's race in for nonprofit and between the week after election day I, got a facebook message from somebody I went to college with Hey Amanda. You've worked in politics. You know this world I. Want to run for office because of trump president seems like anybody can do this. What do I do and I did? Not have an answer for him. I did not know what to tell him to go. He wanted to be more than just a volunteer and more than just voter. If he wanted to actually lead, there was nowhere that would be guaranteed to take this call. So I reached out to a whole bunch of people. One of whom became my co-founder that's incredible operative, Dross Morales for Cudjoe we wrote a plan we built a website and me launch run for something. As you said on inauguration day we thought we'd got maybe a hundred people who wanted to run for local office instead in the first week, we had a thousand as of today we're up. To more than fifty one, thousand young people across the country who've raised their hands just say I want to run for local office what next so we've built an organization that does best that we find more people who wanna run things like School Board City Council and state legislature and we help them through the process I think it's so cool and one of the things I love so much about run for something is that you proudly self identify as progressive and that you came from the Obama and DNC campaigns and I, think there is this kind of lake mistaken belief that you can't be progressive and be a traditional. Democrat. So what are your? Thoughts on that lay that out for US unpack that a little bit. How does it work for us? I think we define Progressive Democrat really broadly, we look for a set of shared values shared belief that everybody deserves access to affordable healthcare that everybody's sort of access to education that we need to fight for working families that we need to protect organized labor that we need to protect it and for the environment, and we can share those goals and disagree on the tactics that we need to accomplish them. But the only way we get to really implement those tactics or even have a starting place to decide a meme is to win elections. I. So, for us a Democrat or progressive in New York might look a little different than Democrat in Vienna right. But we gotta be willing to win everywhere to run everywhere on our set of shared values and we also know that for most people especially for local elections. Partisan identification is the way they make their voting decision they look at the ballot and they say, this one's a democrat. Cool. That's all I know about them. So for us, right really important to support people running under that party line knowing that that's the way the most voters make up their minds. It's so smart and it makes so much sense because every district of restate the. Issues are different and I think people forget that when we live in these big cities that when you look at some place, a state that isn't sort of a metropolitan city, you get such tunnel vision about what the issues are in the context of your life that you forget that it could be different in the context of someone else's life and especially because what we only work on local elections. So Library School Board, Water Board, University Board and Community College Boards and Yes State House and State Senate. The issues that you're focusing at these levels is often a little bit more but also a lot less partisan it how keeping water clean how are We getting trash picked up are we funding our roads and our schools? The tangible delivery of those issues makes it so that what it means to be a progressive on them are things like my favorite example here we work for the Coroner Candida in Jefferson County. Colorado which factor more than thirteen hundred counties they'll elect corners he was reading on a progressive platform. The thing that he wanted to ensure was that after death trans people were not being this gendered, which was something that the current coroner was doing, and that is a really important thing because the way that gender is recorded on death certificates affects crime statistics and homicide statistics and suicide statistics. All of which are really important especially as they relate to a community that is disproportionately represented in things like suicide homicide. So as you think about what is the progressive value look like an issue like a coroner's office? That's one of the ways in which you can show up and it was a really interesting way to see the way that our values can trade themselves into progressive policies and all kinds of offices

It's almost hard to be surprised by anything that sure that certainly was surprised to hear that the president and first lady had tested positive. And and now we're ah, is sort of selfies leading at the White House waiting to see what happens. Next on Lena at this point is what the doctor Sean Connolly the White House position, He said that they're both doing well, you know, well. Doesn't say much about symptoms or anything else, but now it you just have to learn more of the coming days. What's precisely happening with him? Yeah, and and the impact to to your point as well. Let's talk a little bit about Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Pretty controversial situation. It would look like what it comes to voting in accounting and more than two million people. We just had ours expanded from eight Here in Jefferson County had eight locations now to 20, at least to get ready for November 3rd which probably still isn't enough, But what about there in the great state of Texas? Well, A lot of the counties have been adding drop off locations for early bounce fallacy is that you know, the request for mail in ballots have been skyrocketing. This year's people try to stay away from the polling places to avoid exposure to Over 19. So people are asking for these ballots. They're receiving them. They're filling them out. They have the option to mail them back in. But in the interest of ensuring that everything goes smoothly, A lot of voters are taking them to drop off locations. You drive through a location. There's an election worker there to take it from you. You don't have to get out of the car, even not to risk exposure that we'd drop it off and drive away. Hey, Harris County Court. Houston is had just added 12 of these drop off locations Travis County, where Austin is at added form or to their area. Both Dallas Tarrant County where Dallas and Fort Worth are. They each had one drop off location anyway, but the governor now has ordered that each county may have no more than one drop off location. What do Travis County and Harris County have in common? While they're run by Democrats and liberal Democrats at that, And you know the suspicion on the part of the States Democrats is that the Republican governor is trying to to mess with the election, trying to influence it unfairly. But Governor Abbott says he's simply trying to ensure that there is a boat security that there isn't the kind of fraud that could come with having multiple mail in ballot drop off locations. I'm sure that's very controversial. So with even the one location tell us about security. What does that look like? Yes, the will part of his thie announcement I made yesterday. The order that issued yesterday was that each of these drop off locations would have to allow at least two representatives of each candidate's various, You know, people who are running on the ballot, not just the presidents, but the down ballot candidates as well. Each would be allowed to have two representatives at each of these drop off locations also to ensure Vote security to ensure that the drop off locations or say are there are boats secure. You know, it's the same thing that President Trump has been talking about earlier this week, his insistence that in Pennsylvania some trump supporting ballot to our poll watchers were not allowed inside.
