"Lewis. Get this, he predicted the unpredictable. A college student went 100 % predicting every winner in Virginia's recent complicated election. It determined which party took control of the General Assembly. My goal is to get more attention drawn to state legislative districts. And he's succeeding. Chaz Nuttycomb, who's a 24 year old Virginia Tech senior, correctly predicted the winners in all 140 seats in Virginia's recent election. It was extremely close and hard to predict. Nuttycomb says he and his team had to look at many factors in addition to voting trends in each district. We look at the individual campaigns, the strength of the campaigns and also the quality and strength of the candidates themselves. Nuttycomb runs the website Sea Analysis where he predicts state legislative elections. He says when he graduates he'll look to expand his operation and continue on with it as a career.

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Hello, Mr. Kirk. I'm not sure how I can follow that up, but I'm going to do my best. My question really has to do with abortion. And I never really heard you talk about this on YouTube shorts. That's how I really kind of like know you. But what's your stance on a woman that is pregnant and her life is endangered due to the fetus? Because I believe here in the state of Texas, you have yours. You can stand your ground. You have the right to self-defense. What is your stance on that? OK, so first of all, this is debated. I have a really fun, good pro-life leader here. So first of all, I believe I'm 100 percent pro-life across the board. OK. And if, if, if there is actually and I will just go to Lila Rose on this. She's much more of an expert than I am. She she believes so to Seth Gruber and many other people in pro-life that there are not actual ever instances where the woman's life is in danger or jeopardy. I'm not an OBGYN. Here's what I will say is that if truly a cesarean section, if truly a C-section can't save the baby and the life of the mother, then in traditional religious doctrine, it's OK to save the life of the mother. OK. But I would I would dive deeper into what Lila Rose and Seth Gruber say. They believe and they have a whole community of OBGYNs that believe there's no such circumstance that would necessitate killing the baby to save the mom without engaging in a C-section in that regard. I don't know enough about the details of that to die on that hill. So I would I would look after them. But out of principle, I would do everything I possibly could to save both lives out of principle. That's what I think. Hey, Mr. Kirk, I have one question or rather a request. Sure. What could you throw out some solutions that would limit or stop men's suicide? Yes. Now, before you answer or fulfill my request, I would like to put the magnitude on this problem. In 2020, there were forty six thousand suicides in the United States. That is one hundred and twenty five deaths a day or one hundred and twenty five deaths a day. Five deaths every hour. Four of those five deaths were men. We make up forty nine percent of the population, yet 80 percent of the suicides. OK. First of all, I've really come to like a doctor. I've had him on my podcast. Dr. Daniel Amen. I encourage you guys to check him out. He's one of the few guys that talks about brain health and how your brain is the only organ that we don't look at before we treat. You do it with your heart. You do it your kidney. Do it your liver with your appendix. You think about it. Brain damage is a very serious thing. So I encourage you to check it out. I'm not an expert in it. He has been doing this for 30 or 40 years and he's really big on this. Brain health leads to mental health. Right. From diet to all these different things. Let's talk about policy. Number one, why are men killing themselves in record numbers? There is a lack of purpose in young men and there is an outright war on men in this country. And it has to stop. There is a war on men in this country that men are aimless and they are treated as second class citizens. They lack purpose. They lack the ability to be men at a very young age. They have to almost be grown into like like feminized versions of their former self. And all the institutions have become super, super feminized. Now, I'm willing to look at all sorts of different sort of policy prescriptions, including, you know, I don't think that pornography is helping at all. I think that men staring at screens is directly tied to depression, anxiety and the lack of young kids, young boys to be able to actually have healthy dopaminergic responses to pleasure and to seeking reward systems. But even beyond that. Right. There. This is such a major crisis that is being completely unaddressed by our society and our culture. And if any one of you are struggling with that, you need to go find help. It's OK to go find help. You should go find help. And I hope and pray you find hope, find help that does not just try to medicate you, but actually talks to you and reorients your ability to find purpose and meaning, not just puts you on benzodiazepines or Xanax or Prozac. That is my hope. I'm not an expert, but it's a major problem. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you. Hello, Charlie. I just had to thank you really quickly. I know a few years back, you and Candace did a campus tour. I think it was Campus Clash or something like that. You went to Texas State University. I brought my wife along at the time. She at the time, she wasn't really sure where she stood politically. Right. She probably couldn't even tell you the difference between a Republican and Democrat at the moment. But I told her, let's go check these people out. She goes, OK, whatever. And she came and she ended up loving everything she heard. And really, ever since then, she's basically been converted to the conservative movement. I couldn't pass up that chance just to thank you for that. But I do have a question on your general stance on college. It's not really just you. I think it's generally what I hear from conservatives is that it's kind of just a waste of money. Being a college student, maybe I'm slightly biased. I don't know. I wanted to question you on like I feel like I believe there is a there are smart, practical ways to approach college, even though unfortunately, too many take way too much debt for useless degrees. So I definitely understand the concern. But do you think there's a better way that we just can, as a movement, can kind of educate on that? Or do you think college is sort of just a lost cause? I mean, it depends. I mean, I'm not exactly kind to college. I wrote a whole book called The College Scam, right? And by the way, after you see Harvard with 31 student organizations coming out and supporting Hamas, I think that my mission, my hypothesis on college being a scam is being proven right. Look, I bet if I were to ask you, are there classes that you take that you think are completely unnecessary that you have to go into debt for? I'm sure if I went around the room, everyone says yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Right. And so if they were actually developing your character and enriching your soul, I would say all for it. Right. But we're having a massive problem. I mean, I could go through the numbers. They're shocking. Majority of kids that enter, 40 percent of kids that enter college don't graduate. How many of you know people that dropped out of college? Almost every single hand goes up. Right. There's way too many people that go into college. Right. And we need more plumbers, electricians and welders and HVAC and police officers and entrepreneurs and people that work at their hands. We need way more of that. Right. But secondly, is that everyone's path is different. So I don't want to overly generalize. Right. If you want to become a nurse or a doctor, obviously you need to go to college. But if you're going to college to study North African lesbian poetry, like you should probably you should probably press pause on that. Right. And not exactly a great career.

"Talks and things like that. And then you may have a conference that's got more longer, more didactic talks or something. But no, I like that each of these events also has their own kind of flavor. They all sort of feed on each other. They work in concert at least from what I see with other black design events that are out there. Of course, the four that you mentioned, which are fairly new, that doesn't preclude also the existence of black and design, which takes place at Harvard University, or creative control fest, which takes place in Columbus, or, you know, like it doesn't shy away from those events or try to pit one against the other. Like it's all one community, but at least it's all one shared community I should say like, if you're a black designer now, this is probably the best time in history for you to attend events that specifically speak to you as a black designer. Like it hasn't ever been, I think this good in terms of variety. Yeah, at least not that I can recall. And yeah, I feel that wholeheartedly. It's really interesting the entire idea of these separate organizations that really are in support of one another. And aren't looking to kind of pit anyone against anybody. No one's asking attendees of one not to go to the other. And in fact, we're usually co promoting. Whenever where the black designers or black unite has something, if they send it to me, I'm always always always promoting and pushing people to attend and they've done the same thing for me. And it's really been appreciated. Now you're juggling state of black design of course with teaching your design educator, you're an assistant professor at Texas state university in Austin. When you're back on the show the first time you were teaching at la Roche college, which is in Pittsburgh, what is it like teaching at Texas state? Tell me about your classes, your students like, how is it? Texas state is a really interesting place. It's about 30, 40 minutes south of Austin and also about 30, 40 minutes in north of San Antonio. So it's sandwiched between these two major cities. And in terms of diversity, it's probably the most diverse institution in terms of student base that I've ever taught at. And it's really beautiful to kind of see. In terms of things that I've taught there, I typically teach a few design research classes, both of the graduate and undergraduate level. And I've also taught foundations and typography. But I consider myself more to be a design researcher, so I'm always happy you're teaching the former than the latter, the latter courses. And now do you have a specific focus of your desired research while you're at Texas state? I would say yes and no. So at the graduate level in the past of talks, a class called communication seminar, which is kind of an introduction to design research methods and students can use for their thesis. So I began educating students on research methodologies like quantitative research methods, literature reviews, so forth and so forth, how do you build your design direction, map out your plans? Constructing logic models. So forth and so forth, identifying stakeholders, yada yada yada. I teach a class called designer experience as well. Where I typically tend to leverage some of my own graduate based research around using design that only to using design classroom not only as a space to develop new skill sets, but also expand considerations on what things could be applicable for. So I'll teach design research methods and some UX techniques, but rather than using them for digital artifact, I ask students to kind of expand their thought process on what an interface is. It doesn't necessarily have to be strictly digital, but it's anything that anybody interacts with. So if we're designing for behavior purposes, how can we use these research methodologies in order to bring about a particular behavioral change versus doing it strictly for additional clicks or site visits or things of that nature? Sometimes we will work in collaboration with other organizations. One summer I saw the course we worked in collaboration with kyo hogas, municipality, housing authority. They were applying for $50 million grant to improve the quality of life for residents in a lower income community. And we asked to be a part of the project. So we jumped in while we were performing the research and began asking questions to identify certain things that were happening in the community, that design could be used to leverage as a solution to improve quality of life. One of the problems that we ended up finding was given the conditions that folks were living in. One thing that they definitely were missing was adequate opportunities to build community with one another and communicate with one another while also bottlenecks around communicating with the leasing office and people that manage the property. So we propose the number of solutions that had nothing to do with digital components, but were more so interfaces that we can build on the community grounds themselves to kind of improve that person to person and persons of business interaction on these grounds in order to change some of the cultural issues that were happening within that particular space. This year, there are a few projects that we're going to be working on as well. They're all about community engagement, interacting with a group of people, but then attempting to solve a problem for behavioral change while using design as a solution. For me, I find this a lot more interesting than working along the lines of an arbitrary design brief because I feel like the strictly giving students a brief doesn't give them an opportunity to meet people and expand their thought processes. And if as designers were supposed to be this empathetic group, but we never get an opportunity to meet or engage with the people that we're designing for. We're strictly designing within our own locked in biases, and that can also be very dangerous for marginalized audiences. So putting them in a position where they have to get out of the classroom and interact with an audience puts them in a space for their challenging their own perceptions and what a compliment. And if they're designing with this audience and as they're working, as they're meeting them, that's your engagement. It puts them in a process of thinking, you know, my best results or realizing that my best results can come at hand when I'm working directly with the person who the solution is for versus working behind a desk without ever having to engage with them. I'm curious, you know, you've been there now for about three years. How would you say things have changed since when you kind of first started there? Because it sounds like what you are doing right.

But Let's face it. Darrell Royal was owning most teams back then and in his, you know, in the sixties and seventies, when I think that rivalry, you know, we just had a 20 year peak. Royal started out 34 against the Hogs in the sixties. Then the horns went on a terror with Royal and without him and won like 12 by the remaining 14 games in the sixties and seventies, But I remember when they lost three in a row, and I thought Sex is never going to beat architecture again. And when I was in junior high and stuff, and it's like that was a white hot Rivalry. And then when the you know Texas started getting it back with the wishbone, and then the big shootout and all that, But I mean those Arkansas fans. That is a war. It's a holy war. I mean, you know, with all due respect It just really is And a lot of Texas players didn't feel that way. But I think the fans understood. That it was bigger than oh, you and and and back in the sixties and seventies because let's face it that he's never won in the sixties. Oh, you be Texas Once in the sixties, Arkansas would the ticket. Larry, Jason Dick here. Thank you for the time today. Ed surprised me yesterday by telling me he's never been to this game has never been never been the bill I've never been. There Is Arkansas seen many games here in Austin but never fade believe he specifically said no desire because he doesn't want to be around the misbehaving Arkansas fans. Can you confirm that about them? Because you can you give me some stories about specifically the behavior of the Arkansas fans up there? Well, I would say this, Jason that I was there the first time that I was there in Arkansas with 77 when I was doing the locker room shows and, uh, Texas was coming off that monster game against Oklahoma. Where Randy McKay train had come in as the third string quarterback, so the Arkansas game was his first to start. And, um They were calling the hogs. He was an early game and 11 o'clock game, which back then was unusual. And it was a windy day, and I just couldn't believe all the red. The famous Texas coach. Ed will remember this. Mike Campbell, the defensive guru. Had playing in Arkansas was like parachuting into Russia. Back in the Cold War, all the red you saw and the wind was howling, and they were calling the hogs. Remember when Texas iced the game late. It was a 13 to 9 games. Um, didn't give up any touchdowns. Earl Campbell's, You Know, just kind of controlled the game, Randy managed it. Russ works played with booted some monster field goals, as did Steve Little, But they told us on the sidelines of players had already been warned. You know, Look out. The flying bottles are coming because the game has been sealed now, so watch your head. Well, what are you going to do if you don't have a helmet, so I was just aware of it, but The thing is, I've talked with some Longhorns. You know, in recent weeks that remember Little Rock was much, much worse. So let's be glad they're not playing Little rock, where they used to play every four years is Ed will recall. Yeah, I never saw the game in Little Rock. But I was talking to Jay Arnold just recently and he played the 71 game up there as a sophomore. It said. He's never seen anything like it. I mean, the Jim Beam bottles were flying. They were throwing ripe oranges at Longhorns and, uh, talked to several people who said Little Rock was just totally different Crowd. If you dig Favell, it's tough. It was leased at college town crowd, but little rock was like man that was got going into, uh, the bad parts of the Bronx. I don't mean Yankee state and it was rough. So at least the horns don't have that deal, but but there's still it's going to be rocking and it's going to be read and it's going to be ready. And I think with this kickoff time being laid, a lot of people are going to had, you know 567. Totti's My favorite Texas Arkansas game in Arkansas at Little Rock, I think was the 1987 game. Larry when Texas won 16 to 14 and the Longhorn scored with no time remaining on a pass from Brett Stafford to Tony Jones talk about that game. It was a hellacious Lee. Good game. I remember that. I remember when you used to do those calls for you could do the perfect run. Franklin Countdown on that. Yeah, how to 2015 Texas touchdown, but that that was a game Ron did in 87 Jason that it was a raucous crowd and Texas scored. It was 18 yard pass, No time remaining and the whole place went Totally silent. Remember that Larry? It was awesome, and that's you know, it's funny. I was telling somebody earlier this week, added Jason that To hear that silence. After crowds been going wild in bed, though I remember after having done the locker room shown Well, I said to wait 15 minutes or so to set up. Let the coaches talked to the players. All that stuff, But I remember like an hour and a half later wrapping up and get ready to go out and find my red car and hope it. You know, I was glad I didn't have Texas plates. Thank God. But I walked out and there were still people in the stadium just sitting there with their heads in their hands. It was like that. I mean, there were no booze when the gun went off. It was just silence. Because you know you had a tiny longhorn could dent contingent cheerleaders and like a step version of the band, and that was it, But I mean to shut down that You know, crowd like that. And as you said that little rock game where Tony Jones caught that thing in the middle of about four Razorbacks, and you've got that cutaway shot of Ken Hatfield..

Enjoy the S in for David Brown A meant the surgeon anti Asian attacks during the pandemic. There's also been conversations in Texas and across the US about the lack of Asian American history in classrooms as key Ari's Elizabeth Myong reports, educators in Texas and learning, experts say the reasons behind that absence are complicated. They include state curriculum standards, textbooks and politics. More than a quarter of the students at Plano West Senior High School identify his Asian. Still, I need to try to preserve a recent graduate entire American didn't feel represented in the classroom. I feel like Asian American history isn't really taught too much. And like social studies classes cheaper, sir, didn't recall teachers or textbooks. Mentioning a single Asian American historical figure, and it's like not really incorporated into the curriculum. That curriculum is based on state standards, the Texas essential knowledge and skills or ticks. State exams are also based on the ticks. William Gross says educators face pressure to teach to those tests. So if the state of Texas doesn't say this is important material for you to learn it's hard for us to fit it into the curriculum. Gross is a first year high school teacher in Austin. He says state standards don't include any named Asian American historical figures and outline just two related major topics. The Chinese exclusion Act in Japanese internment. Given those limitations, he tries to provide students with more historical context, according to takes, the Chinese exclusion Act was all about jobs, but with that you can also talk about the lynchings that were happening of Chinese Americans and Asian Americans all up and down California. Textbooks are another major part of the equation. Texas State University history Professor Frank de la Teja is a former state historian and I served as an adviser on middle and high school history books. He calls changing textbooks and evolutionary process. It's a great big balancing act. Publishers proceed cautiously trying to appeal to parents, teachers and state boards. And so what That means is that history of inches forward in terms of our understanding what should be included what should be stressed. Take the teacher's edition of a Texas approved McGraw Hill book, United States History Since 18 77. It's more than 800 pages look up Asian Americans in the index and just one pages listed. That page has two sentences about the ethnic group. The Texas Education Agency, which oversees public education, declined to comment to K R a on the record about curriculum or textbook standards for Asian American history. Frank de la Teja says politics play a role to It isn't just educators who determine what the standards are. We have elected officials who do that, and there's there's always horse trading in politics. Most big decisions are made by the elected state Board of Education. It includes nine Republicans and six Democrats in recent years. It's drawn nationwide attention for its standards on evolution and for considering a Mexican American studies textbook deemed racist. Kerry reached out to several board members for this story, but they didn't respond to requests for comment. In recent years, The board has approved classes on Mexican American and African American studies. An Asian American history course hasn't been established. But the board has listed Asian Americans as a group that could be included in the States Ethnic studies courses. Former Austin elementary school teacher Mohe. Meta doesn't think that's enough. It's not one thing that like Hey, okay, as long as we have Asian American studies curriculum that's going to solve all the problems a social studies curriculum reviews scheduled for the next school year could be an opportunity for change Originally set for 2023. S P O. We accelerated the process after students petition for an anti racist curriculum. Beyond that medicines incorporating more Asian American history in Texas schools. It's about acknowledging students community It should be because we envision a world in which defining American doesn't look one certain way. In which we acknowledge the contributions of all people in building this this society curriculum changes are gaining traction in some states and made the Illinois Senate passed legislation that will require Asian American history to be taught in public schools. If signed into law, Illinois would be the first state to adopt those requirements. After recent acts of violence against Asian Americans, experts say it's more important than ever that states, including Texas incorporate.

Hey rain stuff lauren Vauban here when you picture a burglar who do you see the black clad clipper guy with the tiny mask and a bulging bag of loot or maybe the pair from the home alone movies casing a wealthy suburban neighborhood to know exactly when families are gone for Christmas vacation. The reality of burglary and burglars is very different than most of us. I think for starters according to FBI statistics the majority of residential burglaries happen during the day not at night under the cover of darkness and according to interviews interviews with convicted burglars. Only third of all break INS are planned ahead of time rather than being professional thieves. The typical profile of a burglar is a seventeen eighteen year old kid who's looking to quickly grab something valuable and Skram. Oh we spoke with Marcus Felson a professor of criminal justice at Texas State University and a pioneering pioneering expert in the nature of criminal activities. He said burglaries are fast typically over within five minutes and often within one minute a lot of the time the door or isn't even locked if they come in and rummage they rummage quickly and get out of there by better understanding when why and how residential burglaries happen urban homeowners can come up with the most effective strategies for deterring them which brings us to the question of the day do house or porch lights do anything to stop burglars. ARSE Felsen says that lights have their place in a home security strategy but the lights alone won't prevent someone from breaking into Your House for example motion motion activated exterior lights in the front and rear of your house aren't effective way to spook a burglar but only if the light is positioned correctly to eliminate the intruders face so that a neighbor abor or camera might be able to see them clearly. If it's pointed towards the neighbor's house the burglar might realize that all a neighbor would be able to see a blinding light and not the burglar what about time interior lights home automation systems have made it easier than ever to schedule and control your interior lights while you're away they let you use is your smartphone to program your living room kitchen and bedroom lights to mimic what it would look like if you're home again while automated lighting might give the impression that someone is home especially in the evening when lights can be seen from the street thieves not look out for other much clear signs that you're gone during the day according to interviews with convicted burglars in Australia and the United Kingdom opportunistic thieves look for uncollected mail newspapers and packages left on the porch an empty driveways and garages an Oregon TV News News team that surveyed convicted burglars found that all of their respondents would knock on the front door before breaking in so those tricky interior lights might not help and if you think you're being smart by leaving TV or radio on in the house while you're away on vacation think again burglars in the Australian Survey said that a TV blasting away in the middle of the night is a sure sign that no one's home which gets to felsen biggest piece of advice for securing your home get to know your neighbors I in that Australian study just twenty two point eight percent burglars deterred by Sensor Lights and nineteen point three percent by lights inside the house but a burglar can. I'm be stopped if a neighbor picks up the phone and calls the police of course this means your neighbors need to know you and your family well enough to identify true stranger trying to enter your house felsen recommends introducing yourself to the neighbors on all sides of your house particularly the ones that live behind you since burglars will most likely enter from a back door or window and to make it easier for your neighbors to see your house. You might trim back your hedges from doors and windows. They can't report what they can't see recognizing that. Most burglaries happen between ten. Am and two PM when a lot of people are away at work your best neighborhood allies against a burglary. Our folks were home. Most of the day people who are retired heard work from home or work later shifts those same neighbors can pick up your mail and packages while you're gone on vacation or even park their car in your driveway decoy again exterior and interior lights can work as a part of an integrated home security strategy that should also include strong locks on all doors and windows and not leaving valuables labels in plain view.
