Just got a chocolate pie doesn't mind if you're at sea level and enjoying the platform, simplifying commerce for millions of businesses worldwide. Powered by A fight for a free trial shop.com/20 field Shutterfly.com/offer 22 you welcome back everybody. Except encroaching kids in the radio studio.

I am thrilled and honored to have you both here pressure drop off the box and friends today but I will say this call, he says to me in the break will you were downstairs. Says writer might also not good enough and I saw the first time I ever saw insecurity with Carly and I go set that you are good enough, is it we just all be good to invite Pete up. I didn't know that I would have a problem like this. Okay I will tell you this is usually our time. Just wondering Carly, I want to help you and tell you how I knew. I know this is your time and that's why I walked into the studio. There was no wedding here know what you may not even down at just to see the spot I met regularly gets respect. I guessed one. Guess she's not just one any day of the week. Not not right now battle for the line that long time.

Best so number one for how many weeks it was number one for a month and on the let's incredible yet was crazy and on the list for 14 weeks that uprooting a century of miseducation and of course education as well top the top issues today. First off I want you guys to hear something that's encouraging.

Two years ago if I could tell you, you look I grew coming apart at the seams when it comes to race I think is huge pushback.

I really do everywhere.

I see people come by go okay.

Can we come down like I'm not even worried about the World Cup them taking and eating works specially was that the women, so this the head coach of the Buccaneers. When asked since his coaching gets to the black coach Todd Bowles. He was asked this question early this week at 35, when your relationship very good relationship with Tom when we don't look at what color we are only coats against each other. We just know it's a lot of very good white friend that coach in this league as well and I don't think it's a big deal as far as us being coats and against each other think is normal both got an opportunity to do a good job hopefully doesn't and we called ball. We don't look at, and well say see you guys look like them grow up like them that were both begin with and I think the minute you guys start stop making a big deal about everybody else will. Well, so much want to get your perspective how simple the whole thing. I never the whole thing house and Erica Pete but which which you reaction to. I just think that you hear reporter sort of school black coach on how he should respond to race relations is an unbelievable situation. Not surprising. He handled it so well and alive somebody that is. Maybe have a weaker mindset would have been like you know you're right. I understand you're coming from and he held his ground. He was like now listen you just said you guys realize that's not us versus them situation when the other perspective is everybody equal, not seeing color is a good thing.

That's how it always been, but people have literally been canceled for saying this exact same thing.

It's true I so well said I do for the balance of my time back to come. In this case, a female white liberals shaming and telling certain people how they are supposed to think the way they're supposed to view the world. I'm not. I have not been a believer that the pendulums gonna swing back.

Maybe it will maybe it maybe have a love so much because of the education aspect of it. That's what makes me concerned that it won't swing back as properly as it should be, but it's good to be freethinking courageous men like this Yahoo local reporters were driving an agenda in the eye and say that's not true that that was Todd Bowles, head coach of the Buccaneers former coach of the Jets to cut his cup into head coach twice in five years so there is there to be other options box fan and yell at PI agree with you that I think that at the top like the tippy top of companies and I college is the third of Ivy League mentality. I don't think it's going anywhere there when it comes to the hard-core I likely have to be hyper focused on race, but I think normal people. It's used to be something that people would start a tiptoe around and everybody's really over.

So it's okay to share with you a passage so I'm all over Booker T. Washington. I'm doing a project of the Teddy Roosevelt how they work together. Race is forwarded on as a country. This is easier. This is from his biography, so don't even say this interpretation. With few exceptions, Negro youth was work harder and perform his task even better than white youth in order to secure recognition.

This is this is eight this is 1910 but out of the hard and unusual struggle through which we is compelled to pass. He gets his strength.

The confidence that one misses his pathways comparatively smooth by reason of birth from any point of you, I'd rather be who I am a member of the Negro race than to be claim membership of the most favored of any other race I've always been made sad when I heard members of my race claiming rights and privileges of certain badges of distinction on the ground simply that they were members of this race so that regardless of their own individual worth or attainments. This is hundred and 10 years ago. Don't make excuses, segregated society absolutely for 3040 years of civil war. Don't worry about what with the situations make it better.

That has always been the ethos of our very best in this country. It also statement statements like that remind us that no one actually benefits when you're when you're doubting race over anything else that you have people of one race morning well is that person in that position because they were given a preference. The person in that position is saying well they look at me because I'm I'm here because I had a preference it's toxic across the board. There are some people that want it that way. That's yet he was what he was talking about his will in fact quote that you just right so eloquently written was really a difference between equality and equity where he sang it and now it's the equity where it's equally well not exactly.

And now you get to a point where in schools they are downing things down to help elevate one race over another. How about you just focus on the students that are struggling a little bit more rather than downing all of the education down I might my mom's side of families from Puerto Rico. My mom's party 50%.

I know I look like a map of it, but my grandfather same exact thing. He came over from Puerto Rico. He had no money, he worked for, and a steel mill and he got his GED actually got his high school diploma, tail, and when he was already a grown man didn't tell my mom or his wife that he was doing this he was just staying late for work and he just want he just had that drive and that will to succeed. Bilingual English definitely not his first language, and he was so proud to be an American, and so proud of his accomplishments and exactly the example of what Booker T. Washington was there and became hoarsely wrong man until he was 12 and he became such a strong man because of the struggles that he went through and he wrote those words before there was equality absolutely.

And here now we are in a moment where we are closer to equality than we've ever been. And now we move the goalpost equity which is always been a lie. Yeah, I thought I just thought it was so true that you can talk Dennis Prager told me early this week. You have to judge people by the year in which they are born and they lift and by that good calculus.

Our founding fathers were giants never said Columbus was a giant, not perfect, but when you talk about slavery and equality.

There was sleep.

We didn't invent slavery. The Indians had slaves was aware that Blacks in Africa had slaves wasn't aware of that Brazil imported more slaves than anybody else you'd see them being themselves up on a daily basis, but they have a horrible history when it comes to slavery and we forded the Civil War to get rid of it. I just think the were about to get.

I really feel optimistic or about to get over it. I'm telling you I'm not totally.

I hope you're right Brian, I I just yes some big figures can say big things that give us hope. What is being done in the classroom so that the sixth-grader in class knows what you just said as opposed to the prevailing Howard Zinn view, which is America's evil poison from the beginning founded on the backs of slaves and stolen from the Indians and as a result, we shouldn't stand for the pledge, let alone sign up for the military. What's worth defending. Weird. We have not reversed that yet we guys there are a wave of kids that will never encounter what you just said unless they get a subscription to Fox nation well will you say there's this gotta be a push on the education front, but don't you think Carly this whole pushback in the sobering up of the phone the police and police are fundamental erasers and their realizing the communities that hurt the most of the African American communities because is no policing in those parents, looking around daughter. I never said there was a probably loud shop doesn't speak for me, absolutely. And then there's candidates like John Fetterman who are literally scrubbing their campaign websites to get rid of these on the police may well have all Newport yet exactly what he is to be holding up a T-shirt that said exactly that everything so they recognize that it's hurting them politically, which is fascinating.

No time like the present 25 days until the midterm elections, when they reach this sober reality, but I exactly you said when you introduce that it is so refreshing to watch a football game and not have to worry about having to roll your eyes and half the sideline meals during the nationally right so there has been a great shift in this country away from that movement that once consumed the entire nation right do we want to do morning on the West Park where we have no just to keep rollers no more now we know well yeah I know this before. If you do not always know is yours. I'm done learning well.

Joey Jones is in for Pete this week and I see no reason for will will go. That's what was wrong with your right when we come back more with Carly and Peter used to be just Carly would help each year. The says, educating, entertaining and enlightening.

You're with Brian kill me. I do really control your retirement money to get a 401(k) or IRA. You may think you do.

But you don't. The government controls and they decide how much you can borrow when you must pay it all back and you'll owe taxes and penalties for taking money out too soon what so you're an emergency like what's happening in Florida right now, go to bank on yourself. It is a better way to grow and protect your hard earned money gives you control your life and your later years.

This retirement plan alternative has never had a losing year in 160 years and there's something about the peace of mind that you feel when you do and you actually go ahead and bake on yourself. It's guaranteed predictable growth and retirement income.

So look involve the school skill or guesswork required.

Your plan doesn't go backward when the markets tumble both your principal and growth are locked in your control, you get access to your money for any purpose with no questions asked or without government penalties or restrictions which I hate.

So thank you self how much income you can take home or when you can take it is in your hands. This is your money anyway.

Try that with the 401(k). Try that with an IRA, you cannot. Most of all, you get peace of mind. You get a free report with details on how it back on yourself strategies as guarantees predict ability controlled your financial plan. Just go to banking yourself.com/Brian.

That's Bank on yourself.com/Brian you'll be glad you did so as a filmmaker your fire department where held across the street right here in the car where my producer was part on the ground break through the window. You can see the break shattered the glass, another person got inside and tried to hotwire the vehicle and drive away with it. The press was just right across the street.

There is probably at least a dozen people standing right here that's heard anything we were getting set up for the press conference and it happened really in a blink of an eye. None of us had time to react to notice what was going on until the producer noticed that someone had just smashed her car window on the radio over back okay I know what I'm back, but we are right, do we play the soundbite okay you heard that right side. I was we were little distracted. I was just lonesome. We were just friends have a conversation so started a guys are here we go Hillary von is Hillary von was on covering a shoot in the fire department. Big event and her car was broken into. I did hear about that. I at the event and the event was about crime in her car. Someone threw a brick through her window and it was right next to where other reporters were and like chaos is so constant that no one noticed that her rental car was broken into right at the event about crime use eradicating right at me and that that's was going on in mimeo. She spent most of her time covering the present United States.

The other thing to to keep in mind two is since we if I was here in August. Number one story was abortion. And after Bill Roe V Wade, what else is Supreme Court capable of doing to go to get take away same-sex marriage owes other stuff.

Nobody's talking about that anymore. It's the highest I've seen. It is fifth on anyone's list of things they care about. I believe that this red wave is re-primed is that it's not a hope it's not a fear, I think it's a fact. Do you yes and I agree with you on the pulling the thing that I think is interesting and I also think it could, she Democrats and the flight is how much they're spending on ads that focus on abortion and it so fascinating because the number one chilling three issue are the economy and then you get to crime and then you get to education and and then there is some sort of like an out democracy in hangs in the balance type pulling in there as well but abortion is really slipping and it is an issue that when you when you look at who cares about the issue you you always think that the people that are being pulled, saying that it's so important to them are pro-choice people, but there are a lot of pro-lifers that are undercounted when it comes to where that is in there is a letter to you yet that came across on the show this morning when we were asked asked about abortion.

The gentleman says yeah because I'm pro-life so when you talk about threats to democracy.

There's plenty of conservatives that feel like what the socialists and others are doing is a threat to our Republic yet so we can cut in both directions you want you want hold an election where one side says it's abortion January 6 and the weather and climate change as their top issues versus crime inflation the border and what happens in your kids school.

Good luck Brian. I was with you I feel like the media was was just cheerleading for a change in the narrative, so much so that they, the blue checkmarks created an environment were some of us doubted whether or not a wave like this was possible and was always a barrage from what that they created the people are interested in those topics became and went. When people vote out there can evoke the things that really affect them. It will bode well for Republican so you said your book out my paperbacks coming out October 25 note on November 12 and 13th. I would be in Brandon, Mississippi. Let's go to Brandon and then were going to on Sunday go to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and on December 2, I would be in Newark, New Jersey of the ninja New Jersey performing arts Center and the question is will Carly Shimkus and Pete Haig Seth be joining me call your 50-50 on this right because you might be moving well. I may be in labor by animal. I also am moving route depending on the next thing was out of Xavier's are coming labor that's three months early is exaggerating right for dramatic effect will I am moving now I am moving right around the time but I do think I'm so flattered that you even want me to join cell I and you know how I will we do is I tried to gold all the books, the history books but now instead of just rolling to give you an idea what it's about I bring them to life with the actors who have no experience but want to re-create key moments in passages in this book.

Whether Sam is the Alamo avenges George Weston secret six, seven Tripoli pirates and to be able to talk to about your book of the battle for the American mind which will talk about after I've asked people to possibly join us in one of those moments to bring to life American history right I am so nervous about this is, yes, it's 100% yes all Friday night, December 2. I'll be there with you, do whatever you tell me to do right really say a prominent person in American history play. Sorry, but he's been talking about it in costumes as well.

Yeah.

Oh, and I don't think people move on Friday night Carl for everything to grow into and I got you a probably more than one because now I realize out your use of the last one is that a just don't have a do we do estimated to it was so well by the way when I first brought it up. Pat O'Rourke and Rick Bacher help me out the MC into the comic that opens and they were all in but I feel like I don't think it's can work it was so overwhelmed Allison BS in Albany how to go. It was very entertaining.
