770 a.m. 92 5 FM WVNN. Depend on it. News Talk 770 a.m. 92.5 FM, WVNN. Now Jackson here with you. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you so much for your time today. And yes. absolutely amazing question for today, and I'm very excited about it. You can go see it on my Facebook and Twitter at the Dale Jackson. It's a wonderful question. It's a question we ask regularly on this program, at least once a year we ask this question around this time. It is related to education, and we're going to get to it here in just a bit. First, though, Donald Trump taking an L a little bit to our north. Andy Ogles has been turned out of Congress. He has been pushed out in Tennessee, and this is kind of surprising. Some people might refer to him as like a Timu Tim Burchett, who you see on CNN. He's one of the more interesting characters in the legislative body in D.C. because of how he kind of lays down the law other people he disagrees with. And I think he does a fantastic job. So, yeah, this is kind of a loss. But the governor of Tennessee jumped into the race and endorsed the opponent of the person. Donald Trump endorsed. It was kind of surprising. A lot of people were somewhat shocked by that. So, yeah, it looks like we've got ourselves an interesting story here when it comes to elections today. There are other places where one of Donald Trump's Canada's loss, I believe I want to say Arizona. It seems like there was another loss there for Donald Trump as well. And now we transition fully to...

2:42

Wisconsin. And Francesca Hong, this is the candidate that's getting all the attention. And every time these people show up, we think that they're brand new. We think that they've never done anything or been anywhere or anything. And every time that happens, then we turn around and we find a video of them doing something crazy. And that's what's happened here. Now, the DSA candidates, which some are pretending they are not DSA candidates, and you'll know the individual we're talking about. That would be Abdul El-Sayed. Yeah, he is pretending he is not a DSA candidate, Democrat Socialist of America. But Francesca Hong is saying, I absolutely am a DSA candidate. And you'll know this video once I start playing it. But this is Francesca Hong trying to hold a meeting at a DSA convention in 2019. A lot of you have seen this video, but I did not know that this was her, but now I'm not surprised that it is. Point of personal privilege. Yes. Please do not use gendered language to address everyone. Okay. Very brief point of information. If you are using a microphone, talk into it directly like I am right now, and do not wave your face back and forth because people cannot hear you. That is all. Okay. Awesome. Hi, James Jackson, Sacramento, DSA, he, him. I have already asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload. And that goes double for the heckling and the hissing. It is also triggering to my anxiety. Like, be comradly isn't just for like, you know, let's keep things civil or whatever. It's so that people aren't going to get triggered and so that it doesn't affect their performance as a delegate. We have a lot of disabled comrades. And a lot of those are invisible disability. First of all, in this room, I see that no one's clapping for me. It could be because I'm not engaging. But it also is because everyone's doing this. And that's really important because those loud bursts of noise, even though this is a noisy space, when we can do something like reducing that, that's really important. So please don't clap, shoot up for people. Don't talk to cops. Point privilege. Can I reiterate that we, for the sake of our comrades who have sensory issues? refrain from hissing, loudly shouting out your opinion on a vote or waving banners and signs that reflect your vote in front of people? Thank you. Hi, I am Andy P from Los Angeles, lay them pronouns. Could I please ask the chair to, again, there was a previous point of privilege about waving around signs. That it is distracting to other comrades. I have autism. Okay. I think we get the gist of this, right? Okay, these people are completely backcrap insane. And that's the point. And she is the woman in the beginning of this video trying to run this event. All these individuals are jumping up and telling her how all of their particular ailments need to be treated in a way that it treats her with respect or whatever it is happening.

5:57

And then they go into a... And I think goes on for a much longer time, a little bit of run through all their different problems. Too loud. You're not talking into the microphone. You're waving a sign in front of my face. And everyone knows that if you wave a sign in front of my face, it triggers my autism, which everyone knows if it triggers my autism is going to trigger everyone else's autism. And then the loud noises also scare me. It's just like, geez, these people. No one is suggesting, and by the way, again, I get it. No one is suggesting that these people don't have real ailments, except me. I'm suggesting they don't have real ailments. So just to be as clear as possible, I want to make sure that everyone knows that I'm not taking this even remotely seriously. And these people should be repeatedly, mocked relentlessly. for their absurdities and their ridiculousness. And you're going to see more of that as time passes. You're also seen more from our favorite Twitch streamer. Hasan Piker! He continues to be a thorn in the side of Abdul El-Sayed. Hey, Bugsie, if you know more about this space than I do. If Hasan Piker is pushed to the side by Abdul El-Sayed, will the online left go after Said or will they accept that Hassan has to be a sacrificial lamb? Will they go quietly or will they rage out? I think they'll go quietly, but they'll, uh, they'll see it from a totally different angle. They're going to think that Hassan is doing it himself. Like he's backing off to give the other guy space or whatever. Oh, so, so, so, so, so, so the, so, so, so, so, so, so, so on Pryor will be like, I am stepping down away from this campaign. Yeah, they're going to praise him for it. Ah, in order to remove myself from this situation. Okay, all right, I can see it. I can see it. Well, they're going hard at this guy. And we've already heard these clips a thousand times. But he is now claiming that socialism is the real America first movement. and that Abdul El-Sayed is strictly a socialist candidate, even though Abdul El-Sayed will say, so, no, I'm not a, I'm not a, I'm not a socialist candidate. That's not me. That's not me. I'm an American first candidate, and I don't believe in, no, socialism. I don't know anything about that. I don't really think about that. He has been asked to.

8:41

go through all the comments that Hasan Piker has made. And they focus on the 9-11 comments. And it's not even like the worst thing he's ever said. So the new one that they're getting to, and this is actually probably one of the worst things this clown has ever said. But the new one is his rape comments. No, not those rape comments. No, no, not those rape comments. Not the ones where it's like, I don't care if they raped people on October 7. I can see why you would think, I could see why you would think that that would be the rape comments that I'm talking about. No, no, no, no. It is instead the rape comments about whether or not it's okay to rape people if they are, um, Kay Ivey League people. The Kay Ivey League individuals being raped, that's completely okay. Those people are fine. And their suggestion here is that it's okay. And they are arguing that it's completely okay. Bugsie, get your finger on the trigger. Doing one good thing, which is that if you have these Millionaire billionaire wasp fail sons, at least taking them out of other colleges so they can only do date rape to other billionaire millionaire failed daughters is like in some respects, you know, from a utilitarian perspective, of course, a little bit better. Oh, okay. Well, good, good. It's just you listen to this kind of stuff and you wonder. And I can. I'm not going to make excuses for Hasan Piker. Don't get me wrong here. But I am going to say this. Okay. I'm going to say this. And I'm going to just make this as clear as I can. When you talk a lot and you say a lot of things and you can make mistakes and you can say stuff that you don't necessarily, not that you don't mean them, but you're not saying them in the right way. But. Out of all the time I've talked on the radio, and that's like, what, five hours a day, five days a week, 50-ish weeks a year. I mean, I've never once been like, maybe these rapes are okay. From a utilitarian perspective, it's really possible that maybe rape is okay. So, yeah, this is going to be some wild stuff. It is going to be some interesting days ahead of us to see these candidates as they try to navigate all this stuff that they're doing. Jesse Waters yesterday predicts that the Democrat establishment is not done with these candidates yet. They will be suggesting, and this is what he said. He said they will be accusing them of rape. The establishment is ordering a code red, calling this a mortal danger to the party. They even cobbled together a war room to do opposition research on every single commie up and down the ballot. They're treating the commies like Republicans, so commies get ready to be accused of rape. And then he invoked Graham Platner, who was, of course, accused of rape after being accused of a bunch of other things. And now they're saying that's what may be coming here soon.

12:20

So there's a feud going on on the Democratic side of the Civil War. As being Jasmine Crockett is saying that James Talarico's polling advantage in Texas is fake. You got all this stuff going on. So it's just a lot of fun. A lot of fun stuff's been happening in the last 24 to 48 hours. And it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. And then next Tuesday, Francesca Hong, my girl! I cannot wait. I cannot wait until she wins her election on Tuesday. I might send her a donation. Stay tuned, folks. If you want to wait it, you can do so. We're on, got you through your weekend.

13:50

I sometimes, I don't regularly, I sometimes feel bad for members of the media. Then I remember all the hatred that they actually deserve. There's a guy who works for ale.com. His name is Howard Coppola. What? And his life consists of saying, hey, what's a dumb thing that's happening on the internet? How can I write about this? Here are his two headlines for yesterday. And I just saw these that were sent to me. JD Vance made case for imprisoning Trump with oblivious take on fraud. But what did JD Vance actually say? Said if you're committing fraud against the American people, you should go to jail. Oh, the Trump committed fraud against the American people. He's going to have to go to jail now because J.D. God, it's just like, what are we doing here? What in the world is your life at this point? And you really have to ask yourself, is it worth it? I'm not suggesting Koppelowitz quit his job. I mean, he's a member of the media. It's likely he has absolutely no other skills. If he wasn't doing this, what would he be doing? My guess is living at home with his parents. And again, there's nothing really wrong with that. But he's a loser. And you feel bad for him in the sense that you feel bad for people who can't help themselves. His second story similarly is dumb. Trump claims the media just devised this word. It's actually been used for 116 years. Yeah, wow. I mean, let me click on that story there. I better get in here and figure out what that word is because, man, Trump is dumb. That word, of course, is affordability. And I think it's pretty obvious that Donald Trump is suggesting the word affordability didn't exist. I believe what he's saying is they're weaponizing that against him. Again, I don't write for one of the big newspaper companies like A.L.com or anything. But I would be embarrassed to put my name to this kind of stuff. But not our boy Howard Kooploitz. This guy is absolutely content to basically make this his life. And God, what a pathetic life that must be. I mean, just imagine. You go to school. You learn about the media. And then you go and you work for AL.com. And one of the people you work with, either A. pats you on the back for writing something so stupid or b asks you to write something this stupid i mean those are the only two options you were either asked to write something this dumb or you chose to do it on your own

17:01

And I just got to ask, I mean, isn't this guy embarrassed about his life and what he does for a living? I mean, isn't that embarrassing? I mean, I get it. You can not like Donald Trump all you want, but, man, Trump claims the media just devised this word. It's actually been used for 116 years. Okay, all right. Well. You got him, okay? And JD Vance absolutely is advocating for Donald Trump to be placed in jail today. That's what's happening. And it's like, why are we doing this? It is not hard to tell the truth. It is not hard to be a good person. It is not hard to talk about the world in a way. where you don't have to embarrass yourself and your family. I mean, think about Howard Koppelowitz's grandfather. Think about that guy. Looking at what his grandson does in thinking, I used to like that kid. I remember him sitting on my knee and talking to him about the dreams that the guy might have and talking about what he wants to do with his life. And never did I think that he would just be a sad little bitch writing for ale.com. His other story yesterday? Where is Mitch McConnell now? Maga Democrat, maga, comma, Democrat skeptical of update, video, or it didn't happen. His entire life is rewriting other people's work. Rewriting other people's works, not even putting your own opinion or anything on it. You are basically just a stenographer for terrible takes already heard in the larger mainstream media. So your pathetic local media outlet, ale.com, can get a minimal amount of clicks out of it. Good God, man. Didn't you want to be something one day? Didn't you want to have some pride with your work? I mean, did you want to do something a little better than making sure that your one bedroom apartment that was funded for another month? Please, I am begging you for your own sanity. Find anything else to do with your life. Anything else to do. Whatever they're paying you, you know what? I will pay your next two months salary if you quit your job. If you quit your job today, Howard Kapopowitz, I will pay your next two months salary. I will give you two months of salary to quit your job. And I will consider that to be a donation to your mental health and well-being. Because this cannot be good for you. This level of despair and desperation cannot continue. I'm willing to help.

20:04

This is The Dale Jackson Show. What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. and one donation is all it takes. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy CEO, Mike Ridland. What is your take? Was it what you expected? Oh, it was the best thing ever. It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a clear goal, I'm like, okay, I can do that. Master Chief. He's like, you realize there's about 1% chance that you're making it through. 1%. That's all I need Master Chief. My platoon went home early, and I just went up to my chief, and I was like, I'm not going home. Turns out I'm staying. That's when we go to war. Yeah. I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform.

21:37

here with you. Thank you very much for joining us. I mentioned before we got you to your Friday. Time to get you through your Friday. Wait, did I mention that it is Friday. From sunny North Alabama, it's $50 free for all. the Dale Jackson show. We got two WVNN t-shirts to give you Old Man Dale, regular Dale Yaffy, or WVN. We'll hook you up with those t-shirts. All you got to is answer a very simple question. That question is, like I said, very simple. Today's question? is about school. Yes, kids are on their way back to school. Yes. Everything is excited. Yes. Every single thing. Everything is exciting. Excuse me. Everyone is excited. And what better way to celebrate that by suggesting that maybe we go year-round school? Maybe that's the right answer. Maybe that's the right answer to me. For me, it is. I want to see year-round school. And I'll lay out a couple reasons why I think year-round school is a good idea. And I'll lay out to you exactly what year-round school would look like to me. It's not what you would think it is. I'm not suggesting they go every single week. But I'll give you mind in just a second. But there would be no summer slide where people lose their minds and forget about education. Trust me, I have a kid. And I'm constantly saying, hey, you need to read more and watch less YouTube. Hey, you need to do this. Hey, have you practiced your piano. Hey, what are you doing? Hey, you're going to play some chess. Hey, you know, all this stuff. That's because I'm a good dad. But you do away with summer slide and all the stuff that you see where kids' brains get rotted. You'd have more continuous learning, which I think is kind of the same thing. Kind of the same thing. I'll say that. It's kind of the same thing. A more real world schedule. We all can't be Bugsy who just says, I don't want to come to work today and it just disappears. We all can't be that. We can't do that. The rest of us have to just show up like Bugsy, for example. Got to show them every single day, Monday through Friday. Get a couple weeks off, two to four, six maybe weeks off a year. We'll get to that part here in just a second. And I'm going to play the little social justice warrior card here as well. And it is. It keeps at-risk kids engaged. That? Hold on. It keeps at-risk kids engaged. Think about it. We have an entire world right now where we're told that children cannot eat if they're not in school. So what happens to them when they're, if you're paying, just bear with me.

24:49

If we're told we have to have the school systems provide the children with food, not just free lunch and reduce lunch and all that other stuff. But they actually have to give them food during the summer or on the weekends. You know, we hear about the backpacks full of food and stuff like that. You have all this stuff. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep those kids engaged in school? every single week as opposed to sending them home for eight to ten weeks during the summer? Of course it would. Of course it would. Of course it would. I've always suggested getting these terrible kids away from their parents. Any parents that would dump their kids into the control of the state, we should take it over sooner. And I'm not saying that's not a criticism of setting your kids to a public school or anything. That's not at all. So just bear with me here. What I mean by that is there are a lot of people that want to treat the school system as like a daycare. I say we let them. I think it would be best for the kids to let those parents have their way. So I have absolutely no problem with that. So. year-round school. Here's what year-round school would look like, and this is the kind of answer I want. I want you to tell me whether you agree that year-round school would be good or bad, whether you support it or not, and what it would look like under your viewpoint, okay? So I'm going to lay mine out for you right now. You can get your thoughts in right here. 866-494 WVNN. That is the Scout Pest Control.com. WVNN. Hot-take text line. You've got mail. Email your answers in. Dale at WVNN.com. That, of course, is the Downtown Rescue Mission.org email inbox. And you can always pick up the phone call at the furniture market free speech phone lines as well. That's another way to do it. Okay. Let's go ahead and get right to it. Now, there's 52 weeks in a school year, right? We all accept that there's 52 weeks in a school year. Okay, good. Okay, let's take away two weeks for Christmas, two weeks for fall break, two weeks for spring break. Okay? That gives us 46 weeks. Okay, we got it. 2-2-2. Okay, 46 weeks. Then what you also have is let's just give, let's give a month. You know what? I'm going to be generous. Let's give five weeks, five weeks for summer break. I'm not doing away with summer break completely. I'm not doing away with summer break at all. No, no, I don't want to do it. I'm going to say four weeks, four weeks of summer breaks. You get a month-long summer break instead of like a two-month-long summer break. Then you have 42 weeks left. Okay. Now the average semester of people say like what, nine weeks? Nine weeks? No, no, no, no, no. We're actually going to have, or nine weeks for a quarter. We're actually going to have 10 weeks.

28:06

for a quarter. Okay, that's what we're going to do. We're going to do 10 weeks a quarter. Then we're going to give you a week for Thanksgiving. So just, okay, hold on one second. We're getting there. We're getting there. And then we're going to give you a week for Thanksgiving. Okay? So we have one week to play with. That one week, we're not going to add to the summer. We're actually going to add that. to Christmas. So we're going to have three weeks at Christmas. So you're going to get, and that's 52 weeks, by the way. So you get four 10 week quarters. No, actually, let me back that. I'm thinking about this on the fly. So here's what we're going to do instead. No, that's fine. We'll do. There it is. There it is. That's the correct answer. So you have 52 weeks. You've got. You got 52 weeks. You got two weeks in the middle of the spring, two weeks in the fall, three weeks at Christmas, four weeks of summer. Yeah, there we go. Looks like I figured it all out. I fixed this entire system. That's the correct answer. We'll do the math here again and see if we can make this all work. Because this looks like an absolutely brilliant system if I do say so myself. Yes, that's right. You will get 52 weeks in a year. Two weeks off in the fall, two weeks off in the spring, three weeks off for Christmas, one week off for Thanksgiving, a month-long summer break and four 10-week periods of schooling. Obviously, you put those breaks in there as they fit. That is 52 weeks. And I've just thought about that on the fly. So congratulations. I've just solved the entire education system problem in one minute. There we go. The whole thing is fixed. That is the correct answer. That is the ultimate schedule. But Dale will have to pay the teachers more. Okay. Well, let me make a suggestion to you. Our education budgets have exploded over the last couple of years, right? I think we're going to suggest that we're never going to actually pay less in the education budget every year. The number of kids involved in the school system is actually shrinking in most places. Right? I mean, what are we trying to do? Are we trying to turn out a quality product? And I think for once the teachers, you know what? You're just going to have to take it on the chin. You get paid year round. You're going to have to work year round. I'm not really adding that much to your schedule. Even by these parameters, what I'm adding is what? Four weeks a year? To your guaranteed job with a guaranteed retirement? Man, what a great guy I am. Is there anything I can't do for these people? Some of you don't like this, and you're probably right. Dale, why are your opinions about almost everything so bad? Gambling, weed, Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf, Keerteliorides, and year-round school. But as a deep state kind of guy, I understand why you want the government with a constant watching over of our kids. Yeah, that's me. I'm Mr. Deep State. I'm Mr. Deep State. Yeah, that's it. I just want the deep state involved. Yeah, that's it. No, I just think that it'd be good for the kids. I don't care about any of that. I don't care about the teachers.

31:51

I don't care about him at all. Andrea Alvarez would oppose it just because Dale supports it. Okay, well, that's as good a reason if I've ever heard it. Someone tells me that I haven't made up anything new here. It's called the quarter schedule. Dale, I think your school schedule is called the quarter system, and it was invented decades ago. Sounds pretty damn good then. All right, I like, look, I agree with myself. The quarter system is an academic calendar that divides the school year into three main 10 week terms, fall, winter, and spring, plus an optional summer term. Now, it's not quite the same. That optional summer term is not optional. You do not. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not, not quite the same. That optional summer term is not optional. This is mandatory year-round school. 40 weeks on, 12 weeks off, spread them out how I decide. That's the correct answer. And no, just so you know. Not all my opinions are bad. Just most of my opinions are super bad. But there we go. That's my take on it. I think there's something here, and I don't care about the teachers. I'm sorry, I'm going to say this because this is the truth. I'm not going to sugarcoat this for you. I'm going to speak to you guys like you're adults, okay? Now, I'm not saying you guys are adults, but I'm going to speak to you as if you are adults. I don't care what these teachers think about generally anything. If they don't like the job, go find something else to do with that education degree. Go find something else to do. If that's the problem, go find something else to do. I prefer the current schedule with a summer break. Make it optional for those that are not failing and want extra credit to get ready for college. If they went to a year-long schedule, then still include fall, Christmas, and spring breaks, but have at least one week of per month along with federal holidays. Yeah, you still get the federal holidays and stuff. Yeah. I mean, I don't have any problem with that. Again, I've laid out what I would like. I like the idea. And, you know, someone says, no, no, no, hold on, hold on. What about that extra week you're talking about? And that's going to get eaten up. Dale, you are close. That extra week you added to Christmas gets eaten up by federal holidays over the year. No, no, no, no, you still get your four-day weeks and three-day weekends and all that other stuff. You still get all of that. That's just part of it. That's just part of it. You bake in some weather days or something. That's in it as well. You don't have to make up anything because you're just going to, you're going to hammer this stuff out regardless. You're going to do that. There's a lot of laws, I believe, that say you have to go like 180 days or something. In some states have that. I'm not sure if Alabama does have that. But we're going to do more than the bare minimum. We're going to do more than the bare minimum here. We're not doing just the bare minimum. We're trying to actually help these kids.

35:12

You understand? This isn't just about knocking out the bare minimum. This is about exceeding the standard. It's okay. Let me hear what you got. Year round school. Yes? No. What does it look like? Tell me. I'm listening. I'm listening. Stay tuned. I'll be right back. Dale Jackson. 770 a.m. 92.5 FM. WVNN. Hi, of course, Amdale Jackson. We've got a great question on the table today, and the question is year-round school and gay or day, those kids are back. Kids are back in the classroom. I think we keep them there. We want to improve our education system, right? What better way to improve our education system than by having the kids? Ready for this? participating in the education system. I know. I know. It's a crazy answer. I know. I've solved it all by myself. Single handedly. Single handedly. And I think you guys just need to get on board. Okay, I'm sorry. If you can't get on board with this, I can't help you. But don't worry, I'm here for you. I am going to give you every single thing, every single thing I can possibly do for you, and I'm going to help you. Here we go. I support it. I agree with you. I will say you should ask Arthur or what he thinks. I will be he will give some dumbass deflective politician answer or dance around the question in general. I think the public school system is broken and I know teachers get crap step raises. I also think the state should treat teachers the same as other state employees and pay them every two weeks instead of once a month. That is just MFing stupid to not treat them like other state employees with the pay interval and better step raises. You can look up Arsenal civilians pay and they are overpaid for what they do. Worthless meetings, spreadsheets, and overpaying contractors for doing everything, they should get paid less and I work for the government. Okay, you got some issues here, man. You just made the list! This guy has some issues. Look, I'm just saying this right now. I will ask Arthur or about it. Let me respond to this piece by piece. I will ask Arthur or about it. We'll see what he has to say. My question, my guess will be the teachers will want to be paid more. But allow me to tell you this, I don't care. Okay. That is my response to that. I just don't care. Okay. As for teachers in their raises, look, they get a raise every single year. Let's chill out. But not only they get step raises, but they also get percentage raises almost every single year. You can't say that for the private sector. Oh, but the private sector sucks. Okay. I mean, that's fine. But. Again, government employees got very little to complain about when it comes to this stuff. And Donald Trump coming in and cutting a bunch of government workers has pissed everybody off. They went crazy about it. So, yeah, government employees griping is a bit much because guess what? I have one in my house. Okay? I'm not saying she doesn't do anything. That's not true.

38:44

But what I'm saying is sometimes I look at her and I go, God, do you realize how good you have it? Do you realize how good you have it? I mean, I wanted to keep it because, good Lord, I'm probably going to be fired tomorrow. But the fact of the matter is, yeah, I'm not really going to be crying for them. But that is a nice little rant there. I appreciate you sharing it with us. You made the list. Yeahf should start his program 20 minutes early, and you should use this time off early each day to broadcast seven days a week for 50 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays. Okay, well, first off, the best of Dale Jackson airs on this radio station on the weekends every Sunday evening. Secondly, Would you like me to tell you, this is actually pretty funny, would you like me to tell you how I was hired to this radio station? Okay, let me help you out here. I was hired to this radio station as a morning show host. Then I was given the program director job for WVNN and WUMP, the UMP, now Jock's Huntsville, which by the way I've pushed for for like 10 years to change the name of the station. So Jocks Huntsville was by doing. Additionally, I am the operations manager of WZYP, WHRP, WHRP, Nash icon, the UMP, which is now Jacksonville, and WVNN. I also do a radio show in Chattanooga right after this show from 9 until 11. How many of those roles do you think they gave me a raise to do? How many of them? Bugsie, you want to take a crack at it? You work here. How many? Maybe the first one? Zero is the answer. Zero. All of my pay increases have come because other job markets have tried to hire me away. That is the sole way it works. I've gotten a couple cost of living increases over the last 20 years. And I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining to you this idea that like, oh, you know, the government has such a bad deal. Please. I mean, I just, I can't even listen to that. I cannot even listen to this. I cannot even listen to it. The idea is so freaking hilarious that I can't even listen to it. It's just so silly. Seven days a week broadcast. Why the hell not, man? Why the hell not? Yes, four seasonal breaks, bank holidays, teachers get paid to not work over the summer, so now they work, don't care. But the hours should be a little later in the day. If you want to tweak it that way, I'm fine with it. That's fine. I have absolutely no concern for that. None. I'm assuming the early start schedule is so Paris can go on and get to work. I'm assuming that's what it's about, but... Again, draw your own conclusions on this. I'm talking about the broader idea of year-round school. We can nibble at it as we want, okay? But one thing I will not listen to is, well, we've got to pay the teachers more. I don't care about them. I don't want to tell you. If you want to work on that, that's fine. But that's the product is the children. That's the important part of it.

This would be better for them. That's my position. That's my starting point. Sorry. You're listening to the Dale Jackson Show. What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes. Start your day with the morning jolt of Drake Toll. Anywhere in the country.

Dale Jackson here with you. Thank you very much for joining us. Appreciate your time today. And every day you're here with us, I do appreciate you. I also appreciate the input we are hearing from you about our question of the day, which is basically this year-round school is good. Tell me why it's not. That's not actually what it is. But the real question is, do you support going to year-round school? The kids are back. Wouldn't it be great if they never left? I've laid out my scenario and how I would do it. We'll talk a little bit more about that. But I do want to get to, we as Americans, We sure do like to act like Americans. Okay? We like to come up with excuses. Here's one from an audience member answering the question. As a general contractor, a year-round school schedule would be very difficult because every year these schools need new improvements. As it is currently, the improvements are difficult to finish already. Not having any substantial downtime would make it impossible. I'm sorry, but building maintenance is not a compelling argument to me. I'm sorry. You just made the list. I have faith in you that you can get this done in the two weeks, three weeks, four weeks off at different times in order to get it done. Also, if you have to do stuff during the school year, then you do what you do with like a normal business and you work around it. I mean, I appreciate that insight. It's something I did not think about. But because I did not think about it, my completely uninformed comment is tough. I'm an American, not an American. All right? So that's my response to that. But yeah, thank you. I appreciate that input there so much because I think that's one that people are not actually going to think about. So thank you so much for weighing in there. All right. We got a lot to get into. One of those things is the seven things you should be talking about today coming up in a bit. We're going to have State Senator Arthur Orr on here, and we're going to give him our question of the day. But first, we've got to lay out all the big stories that are happening. There's a bunch of them. It's brought to you by two men in a truck. You'll get two men a truck and so much more, so much more than just two men in a truck. They'll help you get that taken care of, get your next move done. And everyone's known as the grandma rule, treat everyone the way you'd want your grandma to be treated. That's what they do with two men in a truck. They'll come, they'll pack it up, they'll move it. They'll unpack it, they'll stage it, and you'll be happy about it. Two men in a truck does a great job. I've used them, and if I ever move again, well, two minute truck's going to help me. Two men in a truck, Huntsville.com. Talk to him today when you do. Tell him Dale Jackson sent you. All right. Let's get to it, folks. It is time for the often duplicated. Never replicated the most critically acclaimed segment here on the Dale Jackson show brought to you by Alabama's most trusted journalist. It's the seven things you should be talking about today. Now time for the seven things you'll be talking about today. Number seven. Radio legend. Paul Feinbaum has picked Texas to dethrone Georgia as the SEC champion this season, saying, I do think this is Sarkisian's year. Well, noting that winning the conference title is secondary to a deep playoff run.

47:20

Man, they are just, they're haters. Why are they all haters? Guys, I find myself, and trust me, I have no allegiance to Alabama. But man, you guys are, these people are really making me feel like Alabama's the underdog story. Don't make me root for Alabama as the underdog. But that's what you're doing. You're making me river Alabama as the underdog. Stop it. Florida's supposed to be the underdog. They're picked like finish 11th or some nonsense. Don't stop. Stop. Don't do it. Number six. Governor Lack, national championship winning coach, United States Senator Tommy Tuberville's office has now earned the top, ready for this, rating among Senate workplaces on a new anonymous staff review platform that verifies that the reviewers actually work in the offices. So if you want to go work somewhere, that's the best place to work in D.C. It's apparently for Tommy Tuberville. You know, that doesn't really surprise me one bit. It doesn't surprise me one bit. Not at all. Tommy Tuberville's a fun guy to be around. He's an interesting character. Sometimes he says crazy stuff. But, yeah, I can definitely see this. They received the highest early rating among Senate offices, followed by the offices of Senator Todd Young of Indiana, Top Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Eric Schmidt of Missouri, and Kevin Kramer of North Carolina. And that's kind of interesting because all those guys seem like relatively normal guys with the accession of Thom Tillis. He's a political player right now. Number five. In the Tennessee primaries, to our north. To our north, it's important. It is important. We've got to pay attention to what's going on up there. U.S. Representative Andy Ogles, a Trump-backed candidate, lost. Yes, that is correct. He lost his seat in a primary to Charlie Hatcher. But in the area covered by this radio station, Tennessee Congressional District 9. We have learned that state senator Brent Taylor will take on state representative Justin Pearson in a battle over the newly drawn district that goes like from Winchester all the way. to Memphis. So you've got a massive district there, and you're going to see a pretty pitched battle there. But I think Justin Pearson is just going to be someone that gets a lot of media attention and that embarrasses himself and plays out. Number four.

50:07

deeply divided Alabama Democrats are electing a new party chairman this weekend. It should be fun to watch and it may not actually be a party chairman because Randy Kelly is running maybe again to be the guy and they want to be, you know, one of these guys who might actually be, I don't know, call me crazy, competent? Have they thought about being competent? Okay, but they're seeking a leader who could possibly, you know, not be ridiculous. Yeah, but anyway, I guess Randy Kelly is actually stepping down. Doug Jay Jones says, I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but we need a new state Democratic executive chairman. And he's got to be someone who is going to help them with their election year enthusiasm. People that have an optimism about being able to have a functioning party that's going to help elect local candidates as well as statewide candidates. Sure they do. Senator Jay Jones. Sure they do. Number three.

51:12

Iran and Oman are apparently close to a deal finalizing agreements for the Strait of Hormuz that would not fully reopen the waterway and could reportedly block U.S. and Israeli ships. Well, golly, guys, I don't think that's going to work. I don't know. Call me crazy. Close to a deal that's going to block U.S. and Israeli ships from the strait. I don't think that's what's going to work. President Donald Trump says the strait's kind of open now. There are boats and stuff going through it. But yeah, not a great situation over there. And they're also making the argument that we don't have enough of munitions to continue this war, which I think we're going to do just fine with the amount of munitions we have in need in order to get this done. But we have to actually have the will to get it done. That seems to be the real problem. We're hung up on the Strait of Hormuz right now. Number two. President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders targeting birthright citizenship. And generally, this probably should have been the number one thing we should be talking about today if I thought for a second that this wasn't going to get blown up by activist courts. But. President Trump has signed two executive orders targeting birth tourism and birthright citizenship for children of certain foreign diplomats, alien enemies, and those in U.S. territories. And basically the argument becomes, if this is an opportunity of you come in here just to get citizenship, yeah, we're not going to allow that. They said that their mothers entering the country to deceptively give birth and get citizenship. Hasan Piker, congratulations. You come up in this conversation as well. And yeah, I'm all for this. I wish the courts would allow this to go, but I have a feeling that there's going to be a court battle over this. And it's going to drag on for a while. Now, time for the number one thing. You'll be talking about today. Governor-elect National Championship winning coach, United States Senator Tommy Tuberville, says he wants Dr. Anthony Fauci to pay the price of having to go into a courtroom day in and day out through state lawsuits after the Senate held him in contempt arguing family should be able to sue him in Alabama courts despite a federal pardon. And it looks like he wants to see him tried. He wants to see him sued privately. He wants his life just to suck. which you know what they've been completely fine with harassing Donald Trump year after year after year after year I don't think there's anything wrong with this you this is the game they've always wanted to play this is the legal lawfare game and now you're having a bit of that right now so you're seeing it and I want to see it yeah that's completely fine I don't think there's any ground to be made here with Anthony Fauci actually going to prison or anything like this. But if you want to harass it with lawfare, go ahead. That's the way the game's been played over the last couple of years. I don't believe in the whole we should take the high road situation because that is really just the path to losing. Yeah, I mean, that's really it. Oh, we need to take the high road.

54:37

I'm not out. I'm not, no, I'm out on that. I'm absolutely out on that. I'm not, my team low road, I wouldn't say that. But what I would say is Anthony Fauci did a lot of stuff that was outwardly deceptive and he's gotten away with it. I would prefer he not be able to get away with it, Scott-free. So whatever harassment they do to him on this front, I'm generally going to support. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much for weighing in on our questions and all the other things that we've been talking about here today. We'll continue throughout the morning. Keep it locked right here on WVNN's Dale Jackson, seven things you should be talking about today. Right in your email box every morning. Go to yellowhammer news.com and sign up today. Let's talk a little bit about this birthright citizenship thing for just a second before we get back into some of your answers. This birthright citizen stuff by Trump is the right call. There's just absolutely no question about it. We have decided in our country to just allow anyone to do anything they want at any time, and they can do it to us. And Donald Trump has repeatedly said, we're not going to allow people to continue to take advantage of us. We're going to push back. We're going to call it out. We're going to stop it. And he is doing just that. This is what he was elected to do. And there's all this like, oh, I mean, what are we really upset that the argument is that people who are lying to get into this country and are coming here solely to give birth? Those people somehow deserve birthright citizenship? Who is making that argument? Who is that? Who would have a problem with this? Diplomatic staff? No. You're not getting an American citizenship for this. You're not going to do that. Children born to foreign diplomatic staff working on behalf of another government do not get automatic citizenship. Children of people who are classified as alien enemies, including those who belong to federally declared terrorist groups, do not get birthright citizenship. Those born to U.S. territories, but only have Congress changed the law to end automatic citizenship there. A bill seeking to do that was introduced last month but isn't expected to pass. That would apply most notably to Puerto Rico. So that one doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. Children born of mothers who expressly and deceptively enter the U.S. For the sole purpose of having a child here, namely at a birth tourism center, the order seeks to limit the use of surrogate mothers for this process as well. So the administration says, we're going to pull back on this because of all the fraudulent nonsense and misrepresentations that is going on. And guys, that's exactly what was happening. I continue. I continue to point out that we would open the door completely, completely come out ahead if we would just enforce the current law as it is and be reasonable. But instead we have people who have taken advantage of our system forever. Well, the majority of the political leadership of both parties has looked the other way for not wanting to be seen as cruel.

58:39

And that's the truth. They don't want to be seen as cruel. Instead, they want to be seen as nice. And I don't think there's any benefit to being seen as nice in this situation. If anything, there's a benefit to being seen as cruel. Because by being nice, we have been absolutely taken advantage of. And that's the part of this that really upsets me, is all of this is about a manipulation of our country. It is a manipulation of America for years in order to say basically anyone that comes here and drops a baby on the ground is an American citizen, the baby, excuse me, is an American citizen. And anyone that says otherwise is somehow a racist monster. And nobody asks the question of, hey, is this good for us? I mean, for once, I'd like that to be the question. I mean, are we allowed to ask that question? Does America benefit from any of these situations? Just ask. Ask yourself the question. Does America benefit? That is the end question that should be asked about all these things. How does America benefit? How does America benefit? And if you can't give me the answer to that, then I don't want to deal with that. I don't want to deal with the situation where we just let people come in. You can't argue bringing in the third world here and allowing that or people who are aligned with other countries or have allegiance to other countries and solely want to wave around their flags and letting them have children here helps us. The world has changed. You can quote me the Statue of Liberty's plaque. You can do all that stuff if you want. But that's not the force of law, nor should it ever be. It's a slogan. Okay, you're not going to hold us to the account of a slogan so you can slowly invade the country, even though that's exactly what we've done. And you will have people who will be screaming to high heaven about this. You will have people that will go to court and sue over this. You have judges that will say, okay, maybe we should think about this. And they're going to kick it up. And we'll have a Supreme Court battle over this. And what's the Supreme Court going to do? I don't know. Maybe the Supreme Court says, no, tough. You guys just have to accept all these people, let it whoever wants to come at any particular time.

1:01:23

And that's what we're supposed to do every single time. We're always supposed to take it on the chin. Okay? That we're always supposed to take it on the chin. We are never supposed to push back and say, no, that's enough. We are not allowed as Americans to say, no thanks. We've had enough. We always have to accept more and more and more under every circumstance and absolutely every situation. The only answer to any of this is more, please. Any attempt to say no, we're done, is met with, oh, yeah, well, you sure must want to be called racist. You sure must want to be called a racist here because that sounds like something only a racist would say. But nobody ever makes the argument that this is beneficial to the United States. Just for once, one person make the argument that guaranteed birthright citizenship to every illegal immigrant. that comes into this country for their children helps the country. Just make that argument. And Trump is even addressing that, by the way. He's nibbling at birthright citizenship on the birth tourism side of it mostly. Trump's not even hitting the part of this that I wish he would because he already took a bite at that and the court smacked him down. So, I mean, that's what happened there. This is taking at him from another angle. But when people are having this conversation, the only question that should ever be asked is, okay, that's great. How does this help us? Like, that's the question most Americans should be asking about almost anything. It's a question Congress should be asking before they pass any law. Okay, how does this help us? And if there is not like some strong, resounding answer of how this actually benefits Americans, then don't do it. I mean, I used the same argument with Alabama. We're talking about gambling and anything else. Just ask your question. How does this benefit us? Let that be the first question we hear. They go from there.

1:04:00

Bill Jackson here with you. Thank you for being here. On the birthright citizenship, I don't know if this is a joke or not, but let me just say this. I agree with this comment. I agree with this comment completely. I don't even know if you're joking here. I don't even know if you're kidding. I think it might be mocking me. Make America cruel again. Yes. Again, I think you're being kind of facetious here and suggesting that it's cruel. to have birthright citizenship revoked. Man, if it's cruel, sign me up. I want to be the cruelest person on the planet. I can't wait. I can't wait to be cruel. I think it's fantastic. And I want every part of this. I want every part of this to make people uncomfortable and unhappy. Okay? That's what I want. And I, if that's quote unquote making America cruel again, hell yeah. Sign me up. I've got absolutely no problem. Let's give me your answers to your question or question of the day. The $50 free for all Friday question of the day, which is this. Year round school, yay or nay. 866-494-494-9-866. 494-9-866. That again, the Scout Pest Control.com, WVNN-Hot-Take text line. You can jump in right there or the Scout Pest Control. No, excuse me, that's the Scout Pest Control. WVNN-Hot-Tek text line. The Coleman Furniture Market Free Speech phone lines, excuse me, 866-494-9-866. Research shows year-round schooling can deliver modest academic gains, especially for students who struggle most with long summer breaks. Well, again, that is what I'm talking about. I appreciate that. They'll take that as a yes. You just made the list. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You know, we often hear about like at-risk kids and all this other stuff. Man, that's it. That's it. Those are the kids I'm most talking about. A kid who can't. have his food provided to him by a parent? Well, let's get that guy out of the schools. Okay? Let's get that guy out of the home and into the schools. Let's get him in there and let him have an opportunity to get away from his crappy parents. I mean, that's what they should do. Oh, and I know it's a big swing, guys. I am, I am well aware. Well, hey, maybe I'm trying to make America cruel again for the kids. Maybe I'm being cruel to the kids. Yeah. No way that's going to happen. No matter how much the 20 of us would like it. Yes, I'm probably in the minority. I'm not suggesting that I am. I'm just, my goal on this is going to be to just continue to push it until it actually happens. I wish Grant's private school would go to year-round schooling. I think it would be great. I think it would be absolutely great. And I would, and this is just me. Okay, with me, I would say.

1:07:14

I don't even need all these extra weeks and stuff like that. I don't want that. I don't want any of that. To me, I'm just like completely fine with them going year-round and give them a break a week or so here and there. And I'm fine with it. But I'm trying to operate in the real world and the idea of what might be possible, even though this is such a huge swing. With more frequent breaks, students retain more knowledge and stay on track. It's continuous learning that actually sticks. Yes, that's right. That is correct. You just made the list. It is continuous learning that actually sticks. Okay? And I think that's an important thing that we should be trying to do. We should be trying to make it to a point where these kids are actually going to be able to learn as opposed to at the beginning of every school year, talk to teachers. At the beginning of every school year, they have to restart. and help them pick up based on what's going on when it comes to, or should be based on what they've lost over the summer because they just sit around like a bunch of zombies. And I have a kid who doesn't sit around like a zombie. And I guarantee you as much as I tried and made him read and do all this other stuff. He was active and engaged. He went to chess camp. He went to baseball camp. He went to basketball camp. He went to soccer camp. What else did he go to? The guy was doing everything. Oh, Dale, from a place of privilege, absolutely. I agree with that. But even with all that going on, I guarantee you he lost brain cells to YouTube. I mean, there's no question about it. We homeschool and there is no reason to have a break beyond a planned vacation time, just like adults. Yes. Yes. That is absolutely correct. And that's exactly right. We should app, yes, that is exactly how it should be. That's exactly how it should work. Continuous school. No reason to have long breaks. There's no reason for it. Are your kids going out and helping you with the crops or whatever the reason they gave was? Isn't that the reason they used to give? The kids would help with the crops during the summer or something? We don't do that anymore. Why don't you just leave the new U.S. citizen here, and you can't be taken back to the country of the mama and daddy's birth. We just keep our new citizen. Okay, this is a comment about the birthright citizenship, and the question is, why don't we just keep the new citizen here? Well, that's kind of what they want. You're just giving them what they want in that regard. With birthright citizenship, the goal is to drop the baby and then say, sorry, this baby's here. It's an American citizen. You can't make them leave. You can't make them leave. And then it's like, well, who's going to take care of the baby? I guess we got to let the mom stay too. And look, if we're going to let the mom stay, well, then the husband has to stay too. Because, you know, they're a family. And, you know, in America, we care a lot about the nuclear family. So maybe we should bring, you know, both in-laws in as well. Grandma and Grandpa on both sides. You know, we've got to bring those in. And then, you know, if we're going to bring in Grandma and Grandpa, we've got to remember that they've got other kids, too.

1:10:49

So the aunts and uncles and stuff that are involved with this original child, they got to come in and their spouses. And you know what? Those spouses have kids in their own, they got to come in. And then, you know, those kids have grandmas and grandpas as well. Do you see how it works? Do you see how that works? No, him not being facetious. Let's get cruel. Yeah, baby. Okay. I still agree with you. I still agree with you. Yes, let's get as cruel as we possibly can on the issue of birthright citizenship. You're not going to hear me complaining about that. It's not going to be a gripe on my part. No way. No way. Back to the question today. Teacher here. I've been supporting year-round school for years. They get the same time off. It's just spread out more. Would definitely help with retention and help them to stay fresh more during the regular school year. Well, let me ask this then. I don't care that it's the same time off. I think they should get less time off. A quarter is like nine weeks. That's the gist of it normally. And so make that 10. That adds a month. It does. It adds a month. It adds a month to the school year. I mean, the purpose of year-round school, and I get, let's back up here for a second, the purpose of year-round school is to help the children learn and retain, right? So why do we have to make it the same number of days? And I'm speaking to this teacher directly. I think you should have to work a month more and not make any more money. You still get a pretty sweet gig. Under my system, you're still getting four weeks off in a row, three weeks for Christmas, a week for Thanksgiving, a week for fall break, a week for spring break. What more do you need? I mean, I want, get to the classroom, and I'm speaking to this person directly. Because, not that they've said this, but I'm inferring from this. This is an inference I'm making, which could very well be incorrect. Let me just say this. The main idea that a lot of what you see in a lot of this conversation is about making sure that the children, excuse me, the teachers work the same number of days and hours. I don't care about that. I don't care about that at all.

1:13:37

To be as clear as I can be. I don't care about the teachers. I mean, I just don't. That's secondary. You got into the teaching game. For what reason and what reasonable? And again, now I'm not speaking directly to this person. A lot of people get into the teaching game to what? To take care of the kids? No. Because the schedule is pretty sweet. Yes. Pays okay. Yeah. Benefits are good. Yeah. All of that. All of that needs to be thought about. Take from those teachers. Take from them. Change their lives. Parents won't feed their kids. Dale says penalize all kids with year-round school instead of punishing those particular parents for child abuse. Nice try, Dale. Well, actually, that's not true. Yeah, absolutely. Actually, that's not true at all. Well, what I would argue, maybe you should pay attention to this. What I would argue is that you absolutely punish those kids. Excuse me. The parents, I would punish those parents who don't feed their kids. If you show up at a summer feeding program. And you say to adults who are handing out food to children, I can't feed my own kids. In my mind, that should trigger an absolutely immediate home visit. I want to feed those kids. I want to make sure those kids get everything they need. Okay, I'm fattening those kids up. I want those kids to get anything they need. But those parents who can't provide the bare minimum, you know, feeding your kids, I want to know why that's going on and I want to make sure that we can do all we can to help them. That's what I want to do. Some people see that as punishing the parents. I do. And that's what I want. But other people might see that as helping those kids. And I'm okay with that as a side effect as well. The kids should be able to eat. There should be no question about that. I just want there to be a little bit of strings attached to it. If you go to school, listen, if you have such little pride that you walk your child or drive your child to something called a summer feeding program, and by the way, some people need it. I'm not suggesting they don't. Then the people there. should look at your child, look at you, and say, we're going to help you. But we're going to do more than just providing you with food. We're going to see what's going on inside that household and figure out how we can make that life better. Okay? That's what I would do. That's what I would do. And apparently I'm like a monster for feeling that way. I guess we just have to let these people be poor and let these children suffer. Dale get off your high horse go out and visit some of these poor communities. I've been poor. You just made the list. That's not really an answer to my question, but I've been poor before. Not that poor. I had a father in jail who wouldn't pay child support. Some would say he would say couldn't pay child support. I had a single mother teacher who had two terrible children.

1:17:30

I was on free and reduced lunch. I mean, I'm sorry if you don't think that's poor enough. I don't know what you want to tell you because, you know, my mom would deliver drugs for a pharmacy in her free time on the weekends and in the evenings. And during the summers, she taught as much as she possibly could for that extra summer pay because they pay extra to teach over the summer. She would do all of that. But I was poor. I grew up relatively poor. I mean, I... I wasn't like hungry poor or anything like that. But I just laid out to you the scenario. You don't know anything about what I know or any of that. Just because I'm opulently wealthy now because of a lifetime of hard work and luck. And luck is a part of it. But you make your own luck by working hard. You put yourself in the place to take advantage of those lucky situations and all sorts of stuff. That happens. It's the truth. So we get off my high horse. I will never get off my high horse. I will ride this high horse into the sunset every single day with my wallet a little fatter. Sitting a little askew on that horse because in my back pocket is a wallet full of cash. You can weigh in as well. Very simple to do so. 866-494 WVNN, that's the scout pest control.com, WVN, hot take text line. The question is this. Year-round school. The kids are in school right now. Isn't it nice? Kids on their way to school right now. Aren't you guys happy? Wouldn't you like to do this for more weeks every single year? Yeah, I agree with you. Let's say a quick timeout. We'll be right back. This is the Dale Jackson Show. I was waiting for this comment, and I'm so glad that it has finally arrived. I have been waiting for it. And here it is. You can jump in right now on the scout pest control.com. WVNN. Hot take text line at 866-494 WVN. The question is, what in the world should we do with schooling? Shouldn't we go to year round? Wouldn't that be better for everyone involved? And a lot of the responses, no, Dale, you stupid idiot. You don't know anything. You're so dumb. I hate you. And I hope you die. That's generally the consensus, but I have a different view, and that's that I'm right. So there we go. Let's hear what you guys have to say. How are we supposed to take beach vacations with year-round school? If we go any further, let me just say this. I could literally care less. How you take a beach vacation. I could care less. I could absolutely care less. That is so far down the list of things that I'm concerned about in this conversation. There's going to have to be a change. There's been other talk of this, and other people have raised this issue to me and said, well, what about all the camps that these kids go to? You know, I mentioned before chess camp, soccer, basketball, baseball, Christian Bible camp, whatever it is, Grant's doing. What about?

1:20:57

What about all those camps to which I go, what about them? That's my response. That's pretty far down the list on things I'm concerned about in this case. I'm actually more concerned about the kids that don't get to do any of that. That's where my actual concern lies. My concern lies with the kids who don't get those opportunities. So long story short, shrug. That's my response. Anyway, back to your question. Two weeks off, you say, all that means is everybody in else in the state of Alabama has two weeks off, and it would be impossible for everybody to make the necessary reservations. Okay. Okay. I mean, so you're concerned about your beach vacation? That's it. Okay. And first off, I didn't say two weeks. I actually said 40 weeks of school, two weeks spring break, two weeks fall break, four weeks summer break, one week for Thanksgiving, and three weeks for Christmas. That's what I actually said. So there are roughly six weeks in there for you to plan your beach-like vacation trips. And that would be during your spring break and during your summer break. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And things would shift around too. Keep that in mind. Things would shift around a little bit. The schedule would change significantly. So yeah, no, I'm sorry. Your beach vacation, although I'm sure it's fun. is low down the list of things that I am concerned about. Okay? So no, I'm sorry. I just... You'll figure it out. I think we should bring back boarding school schools, and they could just be gone the whole year. You just made the list! There are plenty of people. There are plenty of people who are in boarding schools and they're gone a large portion of the year. That is a choice. That is an absolute choice. And that choice is made by parents of their own volition and those parents pay for it. If they want to do that, go right ahead. Year-round school is just daycare. What is regular school?

1:23:35

Well, what is regular school? I mean, a lot of people view it that way as well. Year-round school is just daycare. So why have breaks? If they are continuous learning, then parents can just take a break when they want to take kids out for travel. So you're just suggesting maybe we just have 52 weeks of school. And then if you want... you can then pull the kids out whenever you want to go on a vacation. I mean, you can have that right now. You can do that if you wanted to. I think when we took Grant to Disney, we did it like in January on like a Tuesday to Friday. So yeah, you have that option. to do that if you want. You just got to talk to the teachers and plan it out. So yeah, okay. I don't hate that idea. Good, okay. You just made the list. It's the Dale Jackson Show. What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes.

Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL Mike Ridland. How would you characterize your prowess? I'd say my style is that I just kind of outwork everybody until I get there because I'm not a quitter. It's just you. And that's yourself. There's everything else's team-oriented. The motivation, it was a sort of anger at myself for being weak. That ends up being the driving factor. That anger, that pride, that ego, I think it's a muscle. It gets stronger. When you take that voice seriously, you start to change your life. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform. It's live, it's local. It's the Dale Jackson Show. And it's only on News Talk 770 a.m. 925 FM, WVNN. Depend on it. Dale Jackson here with you firmly placed upon my high horse. Sitting here and explaining to you that not only am I a better person than all of you, I'm also a better parent than all of you. I am a better teacher than all of you. And there's nothing that any of you can do about it, but pout. And wine. Speaking of that, Yaffy joins us here on the program. We always appreciate him coming on the program and talking with us. Yaffy, before we get into Hayden 8, I'm going to give you a compliment. Are you ready? Yes. Dale, I listened to the entire Yaffi show yesterday and his pretty damn good. I take back most of my critical remarks about him. Before you ask Dash, no, he didn't pay me to write this. Okay, there you go, Yaffy. Wow. Yeah, compliments. Thanks. A compliment for you. I mean, it really is that simple to get a compliment there. You just do a show where you don't fall down. Congratulations. Way to go. Way to go. Austin here with us as well. And Bugsy, too. We got Hayden 8 coming up in just a minute. First, let me remind you about Matt Curtis and the Matt Curtis real estate team. Matt Curtis, always ready to help you sell your home quickly and make sure you get top dollar for it. Matt Curtis is knocking that out every single day. Talk to Matt Curtis realestate.com. Yaffe, without going into detail because we will do it later. Tell me a little bit about your thoughts about year-round school. When I was a kid, I wasn't a fan, obviously. But it sounds more appealing as I have kids. We're going to flush that out a little bit later on in the program. And we'll discuss some of that movie forward because that is our question of the day. Right now, though. We've got my favorite segment. We'll get to it. It's brought to you by Scout Pest Control. Scout Pest Control. Here's what they do. They deal with all the pests. Roaches, gone. Routes is gone. Brownercluses, gone again. Yes, we're also talking about termites in your walls. Get it inspecting. Get it gone. Get it taken care of. Scout Pest Control does it. Jared and his team. They're great. I know it because I use them at home. I also know it because I've called them to the office to take care of some critters running around here.

1:28:53

Scout pest control takes care of it. Let them take care of it for you. You'll be happy when you see. You won't hate it. The bugs hate them. Scout pest control.com. Check them out today. They are proud sponsors of my favorite segment every single day. Proud sponsors of 8 and 8. I'm as proud as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore. What's got you steamed? What's got you mad? Tell us now. It's time for hate at eight. Now, if any of you got anything else to say, now the time! Yes! Now is the time. Now is the place. Let that hate flow through you, but I got a hate on Bugsie. Bugsie. What the hell, bro? My fingers slipped while I was getting it ready, and then I tried to stop it, and it didn't even stop. Okay, well, since you screwed me, go ahead and tell people it's time for hated eight. Do I have to do it again, the whole thing? No, I just want you to do it yourself. I want to hear the growl of yourself. I'm not going to do the growl, okay, but it's time for hated eight though. So there you go. That's all you get. Unbelievable. Screwed up the intro. Unbelievable. Sorry. I'm hating on the guy who complimented Yaffi. There we go. There we go. Now it's all come full circle and we're all in a perfect place. Now it makes sense. Okay. Now things are normal. Okay. Austin, you're up first. What are you hating on? I'm hating on the, like, milking nostalgia train, I suppose that so many different shows and games and other things are, I don't know, very into. I enjoyed League of Legends as a boy. This is a computer game, but they did a classic version, and it just kind of sucks, and it's clearly only to make people nostalgic for another time. Is there like an older version of League of Legends? I thought they've been playing the same game for like 10 years. Exactly. Honestly, yeah, it's the exact same game, but they just re-released like the game when it was 30 characters and in, I don't know. 2010. So they just restarted it. They're like, hey, look, guys, it's new. Exactly. They're not good at making new stuff, so they just restarted it. I guess that's better than Star Wars, which is not good at making new stuff and makes new stuff, and it sucks. But yeah, either way, it's either you just re-release the old thing, and it's like, okay, already existed, or... You make new stuff that sucks because you can't... I don't understand the re-releasing of old stuff. I don't... I don't get... I mean, maybe that makes more... Maybe it makes more sense down the line. Like, if you want to see, like, a movie on the big screen. But, you know, for me, I just go to my media room and watch a movie on the big screen. So it doesn't do anything for me. But you have all these things you could do. Maybe they do away of physical media and you don't have it anymore and they delete it and then they resell it to you. I don't know. It's just the... I don't know. That...

1:31:42

Yeah, I'm not into the whole re-release thing. Yeah, I went and saw Teenage Mutiny Ninja Turtles, the first one in the theaters when it was re-released? I enjoyed that. What's the dude? Do you do it in re-release movies? Well, I had to go see a labyrinth. My wife, remember? He hadn't seen it the first time, though, so. Oh my gosh. Yeah, your wife is a weirdo. She would be into the Jim Hinson. That movie is so bad. That's the point, Yaffee. That's the point. I know, but it's still. I'm with Yaffy. I was made to watch this one time by a young lady, and I hated it. I'm sorry, you guys don't appreciate puppet. Okay, or David Bowie? Okay, Bugsie. What do you hate that? I'm hitting on almost dying. It really complicates your life. Well, you almost dying has super complicated my life, too, if that makes you feel anything. Yeah, everything is weird now, and I don't like that as well. Okay. That's about it. That's all. Well, my suggestion to you is as follows. Stop it. That would be my response. And I would also remind you, I'm fine. As long as everyone knows that, that's the important part of this. I'm hating on Austin today. His hate-at-ate contribution isn't what I expect from a real guy. If he said he was hating on non-puncture-resistant sex dolls, I'd be more impressed. Okay. There we go, also. There's a piece of information. Are you trying to kill them? What are you doing, Austin? What an absolute psychopath. Yeah, Fie! What do you hate it on? Well, yesterday was burritos. Today, apparently, it's Subway sandwiches. Because Matt Walsh posted. It's a burrito of sandwiches. Yeah, he said, you know, when he was working for pretty much nothing in his 20s, he used to go to subway nearly every day to get a footlong Italian sub for $5. And of course, now it's like $10. To be fair, it is like two meals. So. And it's also like 20 years later. I mean, God, do we not understand how inflation has ever worked? By the way, I'm not on his side, no. Oh, dang it. I was so excited. I was like, all right, another one. I'm on his side at this point all the way. I went to Chipotle yesterday, and I'm all in now. Are you going to go to subway today and test this one out, too? Maybe, maybe. I mean, look, I'm sorry. Inflation sucks. There's no question about it. And we went through a very high inflation period recently, and that's part of this. But over 20 years, prices are going to increase, guys. And our spending power has actually gone up in that time period. All of this is a myth. Okay? All of this is a myth. And it's just, it's, we are spending less on food today now than we ever have in human history as a portion of income. So I will, I will say I notice. I agree with that. I will say I've noticed that originally this was supposed to be about grocery prices, but really most of the complaints are about fast food prices, which is kind of a different thing. Yes. So if you want to complain about that.

1:34:50

Complain about what we're paying fast food workers. That's probably that's exactly right. Oh, we started paying them $15 an hour, giving them a reason to raise their cost. And on top of that, do away with them and create those machines, which they invested a ton of money in. So, yeah, look, this is a dumb conversation. I'm sorry. Austin, wrong. Matt Walsh, wrong. And by the AI conversation about this, did you see McDonald's shelved their AI drive-through plans? They did. Why? Because they didn't work. It kept putting like bacon on Sundays and charging people for stuff they weren't buying. Like million dollar donations and stuff like that. I went through one of those and they did not work. Yeah. So there's a whole. So they've shelved that side of it. Not say it's not going to get better. But just imagine the AI speaking to a stupid person. And that's basically what you're going to get every day in a drive-through. Okay. So just keep that in mind. Yeah. I feel like that was my hate. Oh, sorry. I need to ask you now, but I feel like that was like your hate. My hate was everyone else there. Okay, come to me. Dale, what are you hating on? My hate is basically on media consolidation. I'm very interested to see what happens with Way 31 and WAAF, what they're going to become because their current. thing is unsustainable. It has to be something else. It has to turn into something else. So I'm assuming their combined teams are going to become something like North Alabama. news or something like that, right? It's got to be something like that. Maybe it's like how Tennessee has, I can't remember, it's like news in the morning or something. No, no, no, no. They're going to have to change the whole, the whole branding of the whole thing. I don't get it. In Birmingham, they've just combined some stuff down there too, and they have changed their branding. So this is the second time in the state that their brand, I think it's like Alabama News or something like that. And they've changed everything. And I assume that's what we're going to get here. I assume that's what we're looking at. And I don't know the answer to that. But I am, I'm not excited about this. Why immediately consolidate it without thinking it through? No, I, well, no, you're wrong. They've thought this through. They have absolutely thought this through. They thought it through and then they did it without really. And he's going to prep is what it seems like. Nope, bad read on your part. Really? Yeah, it's a bad read. They are, they are, what they're doing is they're saying, okay, everyone moved to this. Everyone that was in the way 301. But it wasn't gradual. It's really sudden. No, no, you're wrong. And the point is what they're doing is they're moving everyone over to WAAF. And then they're going to announce whatever it is going to be. That's what we're doing here. That's what's happening. I'm just wondering what it's going to be. So here, I've offered up a tip here.

1:37:51

for what I would like to call this thing. And I want to call it North Alabama's multifaceted news network. I want it to have an absurd dumb name. I don't want it something pithy and cool. Rocket City News is already taken. So North Alabama's multifaceted news network is the way it should be. And that doesn't spell anything or anything. I'm just, that's what I want it to be. Yeah. Do they come up with a with a with a name for their combined services and we stop hearing about WAAF or what? What do we do? It's not going to be that name. I know that. But it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if they just keep both as WAAF and just have two numbers. Do you think of WWF 31, WF 48? Yeah. Nah, that's bad, dude. Man, am I the only one that has any branding mind in this group? Okay, fine. Thank you very much. But yeah, they're switching over and they're doing it right now. So I'm very excited to see what that turns out to be and what the news locally looks like next. Stay tuned.

1:39:50

One of those things is the fact that it is Friday. And now from sunny North Alabama, it's $50 free for all Friday. Yes, that is correct. It is $50 free for all Friday here on the Dale Jackson show. We've got T-shirts to give away. You can get that yappy shirt if you want. I don't know why you would, but you can also get Old Man Dale shirt, regular Dale shirt. You get that as well. But you also have a WVN shirt you can get as well. So we're hooking you guys up. $50 in value or more. That's right, depending on which shirts you choose. Old Man Dale, it's a classic shirt. I think we only got a couple of those left. But it doesn't matter. We're working on that. You need to work on this. Here's your question. Year-round school. Why the hell not? Okay. Why the hell not? And let's think about that for a second. Right now we have a school schedule that leaves a giant break in the middle for summer where kids' brains go to die and rot. And that is a terrible idea. We should change it up. I've done the math. I'll work it out for you right here. And then I will ask my lovely staff and you a question. Here it is. Year round school should be done. Here's how it should be done. Four, ten week quarters. Two weeks off for spring. Two weeks off for fall. A week off for Thanksgiving. Excuse me. Four weeks off for summer. and three weeks off for Christmas. That's your 52 weeks schedule. That's what we should do. And I would expand that week off into the new year. I wouldn't start it close to Thanksgiving. It would start the week of Christmas and go on for three weeks. That's how I would do it. And that's the correct answer. End summer brain drain. Takes care of those at-risk kids we hear so much about. and it would annoy me less, which are the most important things out of all of this. Yeah, Fee, year-round school, start thinking about this. Let's go to Bugsy first. Bugsy, you had strong thoughts about this earlier. Year-round school, yes or no? Absolutely, yes. I mean, I say that as somebody who just enjoyed school and hated summer. But also, it would give more time for kids to actually learn stuff. If you did take off like a week or two to take your kid on a vacation or something, let your teacher know it's probably fine. They focus too much on perfect attendance. You shouldn't go to school if you're sick and stuff like that. So it should be punished less too on top of it. But the school that they'll miss, they won't miss as much actual content because they're not cramming like eight subjects into a single week that kids don't actually learn and then forget by the next year. It just makes more sense. Okay. It's interesting. Interesting theory. You want to remake the whole system. I'm not interested in remaking the whole system. It's not really remaking it. It's just you have more time, essentially. I got you. I'm just speaking to myself. I'm not interested in remaking the whole system. I'm interested in expanding the school year a little bit by a little bit of time. But I'm interested in spacing out the brakes, shortening them. And I'm also interested in not hearing teachers bitch about it.

1:43:14

Okay, that's something I shit. All right. Bugsie, excuse me, awesome. What do you got? I would not expand it under any circumstances. I think suicide rates for teenagers like absolutely bottom out in the summer. School's not cool. I don't like it. Yeah, it was lame. I hated it. I mean, I was so lonely in the summer. What in the world are you talking? You're saying that schools lead to suicide, so we should do less of it? Yeah. School is a lifeline for kids like that. It's not what's causing. I don't think so. Not statistically. If kids are being bullied, sure. But those kids probably have a worse home life too. It just makes it worse when they're at school. Wow. Okay. That is a deep take. I not even think about that. I need to look up some of this data here that you're talking about because I find that to be a pretty interesting piece of information. We might talk about that a little bit more in depth. So kids kill themselves less in the summer. I assume because there's less. less pressure on them. That's probably true. I'd be interested to see what those numbers are. It's sort of like they talk about maternal mortality rate and they act like it. Oh, it's so much higher in Alabama, if you look at it, it's a negligible number. But, okay. Again, one is too many, right, in both instances. That's an interesting take. I did not expect that. Yeah, Fee, what do you got? Gosh, I hate to agree with you, Dale, but I really liked your plan because there still is kind of a summer break. Four weeks, that's a month. That's still pretty good. So it gives kids time to go to a camp. I was kind of worried about that because some kids have camps and sports stuff over the summer. So there's still time for that, but break it up a little bit so it's not over two months or something. I also think you could still have two weeks of camp. My kid went to a bunch of camps. They were all like a week long. So he did one week of soccer, one week of basketball, one week of baseball. He did actually two weeks of baseball at two different opportunities. He did like Bible school or whatever that is. He did all sorts of different things, chess camp. You just got to break them up and plan them. Now, not everyone has a Cindy at home to do all of that. But yeah, yeah, if he's correct to say that I am correct. So, yeah, I agree with that. All right. Get your answers in here right now. We'll talk about them. ScoutPestcontrol.com. WVNNHotTake text line at 866-494. WVNNN. You've got mail. Dale at WVNN.com. That's the downtown rescue mission.org email inbox. There is also the Coleman Furniture Market, free speech phone lines as well. 866-494 WVNN. Wow. Austin has given us a lot to think about. I'm going to destroy it next. This is the Dale Jackson Show.

1:46:04

What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes. The U.S. soccer podcast. I'm your host, Megan Klingeberg. And after interviewing so many dudes during this men's World Cup, I'm so happy to be back with my U.S. women's national team players. I know the U.S. men's national team has changed how I think about myself, how I think about being an American, how I think about being on a team. It's one year out from that World Cup, and we're going to talk about the brightest prospects in U.S. soccer. You ready? I'm ready. Let's do it. The U.S. soccer podcast, presented by Henko. Follow and listen on your favorite. platform. All right. All right. I have about to destroy Austin's argument that we should not have any school because children. commit suicide at a higher rate during the school year, which, by the way, is true. I looked it up. I did the analysis on the argument, and he is correct. So that is it. I find that to be incredibly interesting just for the statement, just for the fact that we're having the conversation. Let me give you some of the details here on Austin's argument that. During the summer, suicides are lower. 30 and 43% lower or higher, excuse me, during school months compared with summer. That's a pretty big jump there. Comparing school month weekdays with summer weekends, the elevation is 42 to 62%. So, yeah, so it seems there is some school stress that causes and leads to this and all the other things. Here would be my response to this. And yeah, I'm going to let you decide if this is a solid argument or not. Breaking up the school year more with breaks in between will operate as a stress valve, a stress release valve for these children. Instead of grinding out like an 18 week straight period, you're giving them two weeks off. You got the Thanksgiving. You got the Christmas. You got another two weeks off there. You got four weeks as opposed. What do you think about that? Stress foul. I'm surprised you give them a week for Thanksgiving first. You hate Thanksgiving. But I'm also a realist. I'm trying to get the teachers unions to shut the hell up. I'm operating the real world on this, yeah. No, you're right. It's not like you're extending the school year itself, same amount of days. A little bit. No, I'm extending about a week. Each semester or each quarter I'm suspended, I'm extended about a week. Oh, well, the teachers union, unless you pay them more. I don't care about that. I don't care. I don't care about them. That's not my problem. That's Arthur Orr's problem. Okay. That's true. But yeah, I tend to agree. Like I said, you're still giving them a month over the summer in two weeks. That's plenty of time to get a break. All right. Austin, stress relief valve with more breaks, smaller, more breaks? You know, I see your point.

1:49:45

It doesn't consolidate. I don't know. I just like having, you were just free. You know, you knew that the world wasn't, it was good again in the summer. It was just so beautiful. You are such a hipster. You are such a hipster. I love it. I love that you're so crunchy sometimes. You're such a conservative guy in both your Christian faith and your politics. But you are such a crunchy hipster too. It is such a weird, weird thing. Okay. All right. Let's move on. Let's get the listener's thoughts. I don't know what's happened to my little voice guy. He's on vacation. I don't care when kids go to school. They should just be taught to clean the school like Japanese students. Austin's going to be like, oh, you want to look at the suicide rates of Japanese students. It's way out here. I don't mean that as a joke, even though two of you laughed at that. That was not a joke I was making. I was going to say, though, I mean, you would know this, Austin. You said you were in-school suspension too a lot. They cleaned the school. So just get in trouble. Let your kids get in trouble and they'll claim the school. The call here is for more disciplined in schools and I agree with that as well. So I do appreciate that. You just made the list. Research shows year-round schooling can deliver modest academic gains, especially for students who struggle most with long summer breaks. Consistency makes a difference. That's a pretty well thought out comment, unlike the ones we normally get. You just made the list! All right, that's interesting. Ten or twelve months, I want school to focus on the four RS and civics and not woke crap. Okay, I mean, that's, again, I'm kind of getting off the beaten path here of what we're looking for. It's, it doesn't matter. I guess a lot of what I'm hearing is that... We got a bunch of people who are saying, look, it doesn't matter how long they're and it's what we're teaching them. I accept that, but that's not really the question. I'll still give you credit, though. This is from a student. Dale GM, I think we should. I think that means good morning, but, you know, sorry. Dale GM, I think we should be in school year round, but I enjoy school, so I'm all for it. Okay, nerd. Thanks a lot. I'm going to start bullying. I'm going to start bullying this kid that text it now. I'm about to say, was that a kid? Is that student? Yeah, that was a student. That was a student. The student texted. He said he was a student. And so he likes year-round school. I like that. I like that. I think that's to be said for kids who enjoy school, that they would have no problem with this. It's the others that would have some issues with it. But. You also just take away the option. I mean, they're going to do what they got to do. Okay, they're going to be there. That's what's all. It's about what's best for them. Yeah, if he was dumb when he was younger, so he didn't like this idea. He's smarter now, so he does. I agree. Most kids are dumb. I mean, I did well in school. I had no problem. I got grades, but. I never had in-school suspension like they did. I mean, I had a 1.7 GPA, so maybe nobody should listen to me about this. Okay, there we go. Research shows year-round schooling can... I already did that one, sorry about that. Maybe there's a hybrid approach for those whiny arses wanting to go to beach. There could be designated weeks throughout the school year that will be virtual learning, but they are expected to attend class virtually.

1:53:04

Virtual learning doesn't work. I was saying this long before COVID, and I'm glad that that's one thing we've learned. I got very disillusioned with college early on. No, that's not true. I got very disillusioned with college. I almost got disillusioned with college at the University of Florida in my first semester because I had to take an economics class. And you couldn't go to the class. You had to like watch it on public television. And. It destroyed my brain. It's the only D I got in college, and I hated it. It may be, I thought to myself, I'm going to hate it here at the University of Florida. Now, eventually I had like a 3.5 GPA or whatever, but, and I had a great time, but that really rotted my brain. And I say rotting my brain. That really, it demoralized me. And I think a lot of kids feel that way about, about. Remote learning. I think we've learned that. And it doesn't work. Kids don't check in it. The teachers don't care. Research shows year-round schooling. God, why is it? Keep popping up? Shut up! Forget the current school schedule rotting brains. Brains go to die and rot when people listen to the Dale Jackson Show. Okay, thank you. That's very helpful. I think we're so... Why is everybody so mean? Like, what is the world? Is that my fault? Yeah. Well, you're running the brain, so... Yes. Okay. Yes, that's 100% your fault. That's my answer to that question. This is the environment that I've set. I mean, that's what we're doing here. Yes. Okay. All right. All right. I don't think we should change. On another note, Following Dale's plan would make lots of lawyers happy. Just think of all the child visitation schedules that people have set up based on school calendars. So many people would have to rework those plans through the courts. Lawyers would love it. Okay, so, okay, I'll accept your initial premise that you're against it, okay? But here's the problem with this mentality. The teachers are going to bitch. The lawyers are going to bitch. The kids are going to bitch. People who run theme parks are going to bitch. And if you think I'm kidding, listen to this. Because that's exactly what people are saying. Sounds like you're trying to kill all the theme parks because without kids to work their summer jobs there and kids to go to them, they will die. Okay. Yeah, what are you doing to Mickey? Geez, leave Mickey Mouse alone, Dale. I guess we'll have to bring in some kids from other countries in order to do it. We'll just bring more H-1B. That's how anything about the girl I was dating that worked at Disney and they H-1B visaed her that made her trainer replacement. Oh, you knew someone? I remember when that was going on. That was crazy. That was crazy. It was crazy. It was absolutely crazy. Absolutely crazy. She looks a little bit like French. We're getting back on to the Francesca Hong thing again. Okay. That kid that texted him really probably hates school since we all know he gets beat up all the time. A kid says he likes school, so we start... You just made the list! So we start bullying him. There you go. That's that... That'll make us get to school year round. Golly the kids who like it. Great. Wonderful. Wonderful.

1:56:34

Dale, if you're going to bring in longer school years, then the state needs to enable corporal punishment standards with a low bar for implementation. Dale, if you're going to expand schools, we've got to be able to beat that ass. What is happening? I don't think the question I'm asking is too complicated at all. I don't. But man, you guys got some crazy answers. You guys got some really crazy answers here. And I just, I may be crazy about this, but I think that it is a really good idea that the school systems come up with a plan. Because look, the current system doesn't work. All right, let's just be real about it. The current system doesn't work. Too much brain train. Give it an opportunity. Let's try to do something different. And yes, parents will hate it. Vacation people will hate it. I'm sorry. I don't care. Okay? I just don't care. I'm sorry. I just don't. I don't care. Maybe we should put the parents that show up smelling like weed and wearing pajamas into some sort of re-education program make that year round. What are we doing? You just made the... I'm sorry, was my question complicated? I mean, yeah, Fee, why are we getting so, people have a lot of opinions on this, okay? But why do we get, I mean, I've heard everything from the teachers will hate it, the lawyers will hate it, theme parks will hate it, kids will hate it, parents will hate it, what was it, maintenance people will hate it, theme parks will hate it, camp owners will hate it. What? What's the goal of education? Do we know? Like, what is the purpose? What is the purpose of our school systems as they're currently designed? According to these people to pay government workers, I guess. Yeah, yeah. Theme parks? Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. But I'll tell you why they hate it so much. Sure. You're talking about why you're getting this response. It's just people hate change. It would be a pretty big change. We have gotten used to the way. things aren't anytime you talk about changing something i mean look at how long it took to get school choice implemented i mean people just don't like the idea of changing things that that's true any change is going to be met with something crazy because people want things the way they are the way they've always been some people like their summers with their kids i gotta tell you man I got a kid and two, I have a kid and two gainfully employed adult parents. Okay. It would be a lot easier if he was in school. But I also know that it would require poor Cindy having to make those changes every couple of weeks. Actually, Bugsie, you have Cindy's number. I do, yeah. Call her up real quick and see if she's willing to come on the radio real quick. Let's see if we can get her on. I got a question to ask her since she's the one that does all the parenting stuff for us. And what I'm looking for in this conversation is to just move the football a little bit down the field. That's it. I know it's not going to happen. I know it's not.

2:00:01

Hell, Senator Orr might have dipped out on us today just because he didn't want to talk about this. That might be the sole reason why that's happening. But I got to tell you, it is pretty wild on this. Actually, Senator Orr just text me and said that he can come on now in the last segment if he wanted to. But I don't want him to because we have 10 with him. So no, we're not even going to respond to him. We'll deal with him next week. And he just called him a coward, too. And the next week there. Bugsie, have we got, Cindy? Not yet, no. Okay, let's see if we can get her on the program. Let's say a quick time out. We'll try to line Cindy up and see if she's boiling to come on here and discuss this with us because I figure like she's the one that has to deal with this, right? So it's only fair that she get a say on this. All right. Also, get your questions in for 10 with him. We'll get to all of that next as well. 866-494. WVN. I am Dale Jackson. This is WVNN. Stay tuned. This is The Dale Jackson Show. News Talk, 770 a.m. 92-5 FMWVN. Dale Jackson here with you. Thank you very much. for joining us. Appreciate you every day. Appreciate you every single day that you are joining us. And we appreciate your answers to our question of the day, which is year-round school. How do we do it? How should we change it? Should we at all? I'm about to bring Cindy on the program, my lovely wife, but just this comment just worrying you about Cindy. Dale, Cindy parents to kids, Dale and Grant. Her opinion is tainted. She'd probably tell you the same thing. Let's bring my lovely wife on. Cindy, do not cuss. I know it's the way you operate. Can we talk about school choice, not school choice, excuse me. Can we talk about year-round school for a second? Here's my plan, and you tell me where I'm wrong here. Four, ten week, some quarters. Two weeks for spring, two weeks for fall, a week for Thanksgiving, three weeks for Christmas, but it starts at Christmas, the week of Christmas, it goes on for three weeks, four weeks for summer. And that gives us 52 weeks. Your thoughts on my plan. I mean, that actually sounds pretty good. Yes, I knew my wife was brilliant. I knew she was so smart and wonderful. A lot of people have been complaining like, yeah, he complains all the time, but not about this. A lot of people were complaining that it would hurt. like camps and theme parks and things like this not that i care vacation stuff like that you scheduled all of our vacations or all of our all of grants uh weeks like you schedule absolutely everything he does um would that be harder having to find stuff to do with the spring and fall and stuff like that you can start about that who cares it's not it's not about vacation what's it about

2:03:07

It's about having people teaching your kids year round. She's so smart, Yaffy. I can't believe you called her stupid before she came on the program. I cannot, I just, why would you do that, Yaffy? Oh, my gosh. She knows I wouldn't do that. Okay. Cindy's on my side. Let's be honest here. All right, so you're not, you're not concerned about any of these things. You're concerned about the quality of education. Would this improve that quality of education, you think? Not necessarily, but it would help out parents. And again, the people complaining about vacations. It's not about them. It's about the people that can't take vacations. It's about these single parents with, you know, multiple children. They're trying to find somewhere for their kids to go. I mean, now they're in school. It's better for everybody. Very interesting. Okay, Cindy, thank you very much. Go on about your, go be the main breadwinner for the family. We need you to stay employed. Okay, thank you. Thank you very much to her for being here. By the way, one of the things I did mention at the end of this, at the take, yeah, if you go out on my Facebook page, you can see it right there, is that at-risk kids would benefit from this new schedule. More interaction with the quote-unquote the system. You'd have a better chance of knowing if something was going on at home or something wrong was happening to them or any of those things. So, God. We always hear they're not fed. I brought that up too. You always hear that. You always hear that. And it is, I think, good. All right. Well, good. I'm glad Cindy called in and agreed with me completely. So let's go ahead and get to it. Let's get to 10 with him. It's time to answer the deep workers. It's 10 with him. Oh, we should have left Cindy on for the first question of the day. We shouldn't. I bet she would have had a take. Yeah, I'm going to let you answer this, okay? Okay. You ready? You ready? Mm-hmm. Ten questions about 10 minutes, politics, personal pop culture, pro wrestling, parasitial relationships, and vicious personal attacks. You can say, oh, the radio was kind of hard to hear you. But thank you very much. I thought you were about to play a text. I was waiting. Dale, which Asian wife is the better driver? Yours or Austin's? Go ahead, yeah. How in the world? Why is everything a trap? But I... It's all a trap. I can tell you who's not the better driver. My wife. She is not a better driver. Oh, she's breaking the stereotype. All right. She's the worst one. Okay. All right. Fair enough. Do you agree that if you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain? No, I disagree completely. I would prefer you do nothing but complain and not vote.

2:06:01

That's what I would prefer you do. I'd prefer that you not vote and complain all the time. That's what I would prefer. Yeah, I mean, do you believe the trope? Which I'm pointing the well here. But do you agree with that? If you're going to not vote, you can't complain. I mean, it's a free country, but I would prefer they don't complain and don't, though, if they're stupid. Both? Yes, yes, he's called harder. I love it. I absolutely love it. Dale, Jersey Mikes is Ronald Reagan. Firehouse Subs is Sleepy Joe and Hillary combined. Your thoughts, yeah, he. I love both the places. I don't know what it means. I don't even know what it means. I don't even know what it means. I just wanted to play it. I have no clue. I don't have a single. I don't have a single clue what that actually means. I have no idea. Do you have any idea what that means? No, I just assumed he doesn't like Firehouse, but maybe he's just high and hungry. Which is the best? Which is the best sandwich joint? The what they call it? Franchise sandwich plays right now, which is the best? Man, I go back and forth. I really like Jersey mics lately. It's good. Austin, best one. Quiznos, Jersey Mikes, Subway, Firehouse. I'm a steak and cheese guy, so I like Jersey Mike's a lot. Bugsie, what do you got? Does Jason's Deli count? Is that a franchise enough? That one, it's the best. Okay, all right, all right. The answer is Firehouse. Correct answer is Firehouse. Runner-up is Quiznosed. And don't get me started on the freestyle machine. I don't want to go. We don't need to get into that anymore. But yeah, don't get me started on that. I'd be very upset. Is Conan O'Brien a liberal? Yes? Is Conan O'Brien a liberal? Yes. He's pretty open about it. Yeah, yeah. He was wearing one of those Haiti is already great shirts. Like that was one of the things he did. Oh, geez. He was. He was one of those. Haiti's already great. What are you talking about? How can you suggest otherwise? Yes, I'm sure. He's going to move to Haiti soon. It's so awesome. Who funds more terrorism, the Muslim Brotherhood or A-PAC? I mean, that's not my answer to the question, but I mean, if you're going to go down that path. I think you just set it up so you did that. Okay, all right. I think the answer is clearly the Muslim Brotherhood. Yeah, for your thoughts? Yes, APEC doesn't commit terrorism. I know it's very controversial, I guess, to say, but... Very true, very true. Did you know that Al-Sai'in's father-in-law is the funder of the Muslim Brotherhood? I'm not surprised. This guy's going to have a hell of a campaign seat. It's going to be great. Jeez. Is it fair to say, Abdel Al-Sait is a left-your-hole at least? Boy, there's a lot of going on there.

2:09:00

The British people have a hard time with all the invasions that they're having over there saying a bunch of these names. This guy's having a rough one. Yeah, he's an A-hole. I mean, he's a complete performative prick. I mean, and he is going to get eaten alive, and it is going to be fantastic. It is going to be absolutely, absolutely fantastic. So I do appreciate it. All right, Cindy, thank you very much. Bugsy, thank you very much. Have a good weekend. Austin, I hate you. Yaffy. Thank you for agreeing with me on my question of the day. It definitely means that your show is already starting off on the right foot. Unfortunately, no one's going to be listening. So that kind of sucks. It is what it is. We'll talk to you guys on. Dale Jackson. What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes.
