John is joined by Dr. Kanani to discuss the threats posed by foreign talent in critical areas like STEM, highlighting national security concerns. As STEM education continues to lag, the conversation shifts to the dependency on H-1B visas and the vulnerabilities this creates. They explore the potential risks and the need for genuine STEM education reform. This episode reveals the broader implications of neglect in this area and calls for immediate action to safeguard the nation’s interests by fostering homegrown talent.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 14 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 05 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 08 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 11 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 07 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind? It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 04 :
And we are back. Hour number two, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Edward Bartlett joining us now, president of the International Council for Men and Boys. Edward, you’ve been on before with us. Welcome back.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hey, good to see you.
SPEAKER 04 :
How’s it going? I’m good. I appreciate you joining us. And we’re going to talk about something that, frankly, I talked about all the way up to Election Day. And that is Trump winning because Democrats keep telling young men, boys, that really they’re dangerous. They don’t matter. They don’t have any value. And frankly, you know, Edward, literally, I firmly believe one of the largest reasons for the big win Trump had is exactly that.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. I mean, going back as early as October, there was an editorial that referred to men, especially young men, as the new, quote, power demographic. So the trend was obvious even in the mid-fall, and then we saw the actual election results, whether you’re talking about Hispanic men, young men, men without a college degree, all of these groups of men voted, the majority of young men voted in favor of Trump. So, yeah, it was really a powerful cultural moment and a powerful cultural statement as well.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and I think, and I’d said this prior to the election, had lots of people that actually sort of followed along with me, and I don’t want to take any credit, but I think it was one of the first groups you know, open type talk shows, if you would, to talk about that. Because, by the way, that doesn’t typically get talked about on talk shows because, you know, we got to be careful when we talk about men, especially toxic masculinity and all of the other nonsense. But I think in this particular case, Edward, men in general just got tired of being told they don’t matter anymore.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, that’s very true. But another piece of this puzzle is that we find that women are many of our strongest supporters are women not just in the US but around the world we see really a powerful trend of women that are just sick and tired of their husbands, their brothers, their sons being vilified, being stereotyped in these very negative ways. So, yeah, this is an issue that’s cross-cutting.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. International Council for Men and Boys, you guys are a nongovernmental organization that work to ensure gender equality for all, and really, in a lot of ways, because, again, I’ve had you on in the past. Really, you’re trying to lift men and boys up and really teach boys how to be men, correct?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, yes, and this is not an either-or situation. proposition this is both and women have had as much to gain from men who are self-confident who are strong absolutely good sense of masculinity women will be the been are the beneficiaries of this as well whether we’re talking about husbands I mean really it’s a cultural issue and that we have to stop playing, allowing the feminists to play women against men and men against women.
SPEAKER 04 :
Do you see what happened? And this is a question I even have in the back of my mind because I don’t have a crystal ball. I can’t look down the road. There is a huge movement. We saw what happened on Election Day. Granted, everything kind of dust settles a little bit. You know, Trump will get inaugurated and then we’ll move forward with a new presidency. Do you see this movement on… The, you know, the male side of things from both parties, by the way, conservative versus the the Democrat side. And frankly, I call them Marxist because I think that’s what they are. But at the end of the day, do you see any of that shifting? In other words, will the left learn from the mistakes it made prior to this last election or will they keep going down that same road?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I will gaze into my crystal ball. My crystal ball says that, yes, there are, in fact, some Democrats who are learning from this lesson. That said, the Democratic Party is so wedded to use your term, neo-Marxist feminist ideology, that they are not going to be able to break loose from that until they lose a couple more big elections. I think that is how deeply ingrained this feminist ideology has become, especially in the Democratic Party.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can’t argue with you. And I’ve seen some heads inside of the Democrat Party say the same thing you just said, although they are still the minority that are speaking that way. I mean, the reality is I still see the majority on that side. You know, they’re pushing all of the DEI and all of the other nonsense that’s out there. And the reality is they still have this goal, if you would, of demeaning men. I don’t know any other way to say it, Edward, really, to demean men. And at the end of the day, that’s not going to pay off for them. And by the way, it doesn’t pay off for society either, to your point earlier.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, right. And remember, feminism is derived directly from Marxist ideology. Remember that ideology always is, for the believers of that ideology, ideology is a far more powerful motivator than science. or more powerful motivator than sort of reality. So, yeah, this is going to be a difficult lesson for Democrats to learn. I hope it’s sooner rather than later.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. So along those lines, for all of the folks that I have that are listening that want to be a part of this side of the movement and they want to teach boys how to be men and men how to be better men, What do we do? How do they do that? I mean, do you guys have resources that they can find on your website? How do folks that want to get involved in this, they want to teach young men how to be great men, how do they do that?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, sure. Well, first let me share our website address. Here it is, www.menandboys.net, menandboys.net. And everything we say there is science-based, and it turns out that amazingly, Men and boys, not just in the U.S., but globally, are lagging behind women in 12 different ways. Shorter lifespans, higher suicide rates, much higher homelessness, being a victim of worksite mortality, education. I mean, the list really is astonishing. So this whole myth of the patriarchy that’s seeking to you know, take away women’s rights. Well, that’s just a myth. If anything, there’s a matriarchy because there are powerful women’s groups that will never admit that women are actually doing better than men in so many ways.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I also know, you know, Edward, I’m around enough other men, and I hope raise some, well, I know I raised some really great boys that have turned into great men as well, and I will tell you that great men love great women as well. In other words, it’s our job to help lift them up and make them even better, and good men do that, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, exactly. I mean, when I see women, I mean, you may have heard about this, Her name was Jessie Phillips in the UK. She actually had sex with a thousand different men, literally in one day. And my heart goes out, like, wow, how is it possible for a woman to demean and debase herself like that? So I am all for it. uplifting women just like I want to uplift men.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and I think too, Edward, and this is the one side that the other side really doesn’t understand, what you just said or what I just said is foreign to them. They think that we are somehow against women and want to hold them back and hold them down, and the reality is we’re actually doing more to lift them up than they are.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I mean, again, this is the whole Marxist ideology, divide and conquer, you know, always portray You know, this group is trying to harm another group, whether it’s blacks and whites or I mean, it’s just an endless narrative that you hear. But, yeah, it’s really time to call out the fallaciousness of this narrative and say it is harmful to families. It’s harmful to our society.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep. I cannot disagree with you at all. And again, I really feel like, and I talked about this prior to the election being won, that I really felt like these were the things that were happening leading up into the election itself, that men were just… Honestly, they’re getting tired of being nitpicked, yelled at, demeaned, told they don’t mean anything, they don’t matter. We’re telling young boys that. And then, Edward, we wonder at the end of the day why we have so many social problems going on with young boys.
SPEAKER 15 :
You know, I guess what I would say to the male listeners on this interview is to be proud of your masculinity. Amen. Act with integrity, with honesty and love. Above all, be proud of your masculinity. In my view, that’s what’s going to be one of the most important forces that will redeem the world. with all of this negative Marxist ideology around us.
SPEAKER 04 :
Can’t argue that. Edward Bartlett, again, I appreciate you joining us. MenAndBoys.net, and spell it all out so it’s not the Amber Sand, but MenAndBoys.net. Edward, as again, I appreciate it very much. Thank you for joining us, sir.

SPEAKER 12 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive, this is John Rush.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. And I know I’m not trying to make fun of Jimmy Carter and his funeral because that’s not what you do to the dead. But this isn’t me. I didn’t do the prayer there, and I think this was actually at the viewing, not the actual funeral. But there was a pastor there that I’m going to play that is essentially – reciting the same prayer from Meet the Parents. And no, I’m not exaggerating because I’ll play them. Whoever put this together did both, one on top of the other. And all I can say is you can’t make this stuff up, folks. Let me play it. You can listen.
SPEAKER 13 :
Just to know you more clearly, to love you more dearly, and to follow you more nearly. Each day. To love thee more dearly, to see thee more clearly, to follow thee more nearly, day by day. My day. Amen.
SPEAKER 03 :
Amen.
SPEAKER 04 :
Again, folks, you can’t make this stuff up. And again, I’m not trying to make fun of Jimmy Carter and the funeral and all that. I mean, he, I think, was, make sure I say this correctly, Charlie, oldest living past president, meaning now who’s, I didn’t do the math, who’s next? Bush? Who would be next? I don’t, well, yeah, you’re right, Charlie, probably Biden, actually, age-wise. Yeah, you’re probably right. At any rate, I’m not trying to make fun of Jimmy Carter’s funeral or anything along those lines. It’s weird that Michelle Obama couldn’t make it to the funeral, which… You’ve got to wonder, was it because Trump was there? Did she not want to be by Trump, be around Trump? Jill won’t sit by Trump. Although Obama and Trump were having a pretty good time as far as a funeral goes, and they were even laughing and kind of elbowing one another and so on. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that. You can go look at the clips that are out there of the video of the two of them, and I don’t know what all they were talking about. I’d love to be a little mouse there and listen in to what they were actually saying. And at the end of the day, again, I’m not trying to make fun of Jimmy Carter and the life he lived or anything along those lines. I’ve made it. I’ve made this very clear. I think he was one of, if not the worst president of my lifetime. Now, it’s probably going to be a close second to Joe Biden. So I think those two are kind of neck and neck because Joe hasn’t been much better. I will say, and I said this yesterday, I do believe Jimmy Carter is a better man than Was a better man than Joe Biden. What I mean by that is ethically, morally, all of that. I think Jimmy Carter is a much better man than Joe. Joe’s a criminal. Joe’s a crook. Sorry, I have no other way to say it. Those of you on the left following him. Oh, my word. Really? The Biden crime family? Really? It was funny. I was talking to somebody on vacation where this subject came up and we were talking about, you know, Kamala and why didn’t she win and this, that and the other. And this person was pretty much in the middle, although you kind of wondered where they were completely in all of this. But something to the effect came up that, well, you know, Joe is just a really nice guy. And I’m like, you mean Joe Biden from the Biden crime family? And this person looked at me like, what are you talking about? I’m like, yeah, that guy’s there’s more dirt on him. You know, everything from the Hunter laptop that was suppressed prior to the 2020 election on and all of this is now factual. It’s come out. This is not me making up anything. You can go look this stuff up for yourself. By the way, I never tell anybody on vacation what I do. If they ask me what I do, I own businesses back home. That’s my answer. I never tell anybody that I’m a talk show host because that can lead to all sorts of other things that I don’t want to get into. Sometimes they may look at you one way versus the other. And so I just tell people I own businesses. And then we have these kinds of conversations. And I think, by the way, I get a lot more open conversation from people when they don’t know what I do versus me telling them what I do. And by the way, I’m not lying because I do own businesses. So I’m not lying to them. I’m just not being 100% truthful in what I do. Yeah, and it is a small part of my day. So thank you, Charlie. So yeah, at the end of the day, I’m not lying. I’m truthful. But when you tell people some of these things, here’s one of the things that I realize at times. People are really uninformed. People really do get a lot of their news from the nightly media. Afternoon, evening, nightly, The View, wherever. And they don’t dig in and really learn what’s going on. And it’s why a lot of you, of course, listen to us, and I appreciate that greatly. And I don’t listen to any media. I try to give you guys all things that I go out and research on my own and bring to the table that way. I don’t watch mainstream media. But when I go on vacation and talk to some of these people, you really learn that I’m the minority. Most do. And now I will also tell you that a lot of people that I meet are typically on our side of the aisle, and they’re very happy that Donald Trump won, and they can’t wait for, you know, the inauguration day and what comes afterwards and so on, especially a lot of the guys that I meet that are small business owners themselves and so on. They’re ecstatic. They’re excited. But when you meet somebody where they really have no idea who Joe Biden is, and I was very kind, I’m like, you know, you really ought to go do a little bit of investigative work on just the Biden family in general, because there’s a guy that’s been in politics for 50 plus years, entered a popper, and now is a multimillionaire, hundreds of millions of dollars. And a lot of that money coming from China, and that’s very provable. all the shell companies and everything else that he has, that the Biden family has. And yes, all of that can be proven. I am not saying anything out of line or that can’t be proven. So I tell this person some of those things and they look at me with this sort of deer in the headlight look like, you’re kidding me. And I’m like, no, I’m not kidding you. I’m being very straight up honest. And it would behoove you to go look some of these things up. Well, I will. Whether they will or not, I have no idea. But My point is, for those of us that end up in public at different times and different settings and so on, and again, not boasting by any means, but that’s the conversation you should have. I wasn’t being judgmental. I was being very open-minded. I was listening to what the other side, in this case probably the middle, had to say. I don’t know how they voted one way or the other. I didn’t ask, didn’t need to. The outcome is as it is anyways. I don’t care how they voted. had good conversation outside of that, but when that particular conversation came up, because they’re also self-employed people, and that’s where the subject kind of came up with how things are going to work as soon as Trump takes over and blah, blah, blah, and one thing leads to another, and pretty soon we’re having that conversation. My point is you can have these what I call sane conversations. I get it. Not with everybody on the left. Some lefties are crazy. you can’t have any conversation with them. They’re not going to listen to any kind of reason whatsoever. And in those cases, don’t waste your time. But with what I experienced in that particular conversation, it wasn’t a waste of my time. And it did, I think, bear some fruit when it was all said and done. And I do think this person will actually go and look some things up when it comes to Joe Biden and might even have their eyes open for the future. And by the way, that’s part of what We should be doing along that end of things. So anyway, just just my two cents when it comes to those things. It’s not as hard to talk to people on this level as some may think. You just have to figure out where the common ground is and how you get that dialogue started. And then, like in my case, throw some things in there where they can then go do some of their own research and. And find some of that. And by the way, I also said you’re not going to be able to Google this and find it that way. You’ve got to go do research in other ways because you will not find it in the normal mainstream ways. You’re going to have to get off of mainstream media to find the answers to what I just said because it will be suppressed. Now, with Facebook announcing what it’s going to do of late and so on, some of that may change. We will see. It’s a whole other topic for another day. Golden Eagle Financial coming up next.

SPEAKER 07 :
Back to Rush to Reason. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric. Where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right, we are back. We’ve got another guest joining us here in just one moment as well that we will get lined up. And I was looking at, as we were going through the break, their previous presidents that are still alive. So we’ll list those off for you all. Most of you probably already know this, but Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. And I do think Charlie is correct in age that Biden will be the oldest. I believe, oldest ex-president now after Jimmy Carter just passed. Again, I have to go back through and do the math on these and figure that out exactly, but I think that’s correct. And if somebody’s out there listening and can do that math for me, you know, be my guest. But I do believe that that, in fact, will be the case. So Charlie rattled that off right off the top of his head. So at any rate— That’s where we’re at when it comes to previous presidents. And there were some comments today about who will be at Donald Trump’s funeral, who will speak and deliver some of the messages and so on. And it’s just speculation, but it’s thought-provoking in and of itself. Dr. Kanani joining us right now. Doctor, how are you today, sir?
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m beautifully well, thank you.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s always a joy having you. Welcome back, and I appreciate it. America’s security at stake. Talk to us about H-1B visas.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, H-1B visas is part of the problem. If you allow me, I explain why do we have to do to H-1B visa and what the problem is with that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, go for it.
SPEAKER 16 :
In… In January of 2021, the Pentagon presented a report to the Congress called Industrial Capabilities. The problem, actually, the issue that they wanted to bring to the attention of the country and Congress was the fact of the matter that our industrial capability actually is going to be in jeopardy for national security because our STEM education during the past several decades, during the past 50 years or so, has been neglected in our high schools and thereby our universities. And we have not been able to graduate enough STEM-related engineers and scientists or workers.
SPEAKER 04 :
So in other words, we’re not growing enough of our own.
SPEAKER 16 :
We are not growing of our own. And in that report, they said that China is producing or is graduating 800% more, eight times more. than United States. STEM graduated from their colleges and universities. And the 800% and India, 400% more than us. Okay. That was the report in January of 2021. And they said that poses a national security problem for us. In that report also, they said in 2021, that we estimate that in 10 years from now, namely in 2031, we will have a shortage of, a shortage, not the number of that we need, the shortage of one million, okay, STEM-related jobs that we will not be able to, we will not be able to fulfill. And meaning that the whole number of STEM jobs that we need, there would be over 10 million, but at least we’ll be short of 1 billion. And that’s the problem that now brings us to H-1 visa. Because the problem is that we don’t have the proper STEM education in our high school, even elementary, even kindergarten, wherever it starts. But mostly in high school, because then after that, It’s where the student, they decide when they are in the 10th, 11th, 12th grades, what to decide, what they want to do, and whether they’re going to go to college, what they want to study, and what field they want to go to. And we have been neglecting that part of it so that we will have a shortage, which causes a national security for us.
SPEAKER 04 :
And that’s where, because of all of that, what you’re saying, that’s where H-1B came from.
SPEAKER 16 :
That is correct. Okay. Now, the problem also is that this has continued. When we said we need to have H1 and the people and the industry, they went and they hired foreign engineers or the foreign engineers who came to our state, our universities and colleges. and graduated and stayed here to work. So they did take a bidet. We want to allow that to happen. But then the Center for Immigration Studies in July of, in July of, in actually in September of, July of 2022, a year after, a year and a half later, they published a report about 30, 40-page report. And they called that report science, technology, espionage, and math instead of STEM. They said, hey, people, wake up. This is Center of Immigration Studies. Wake up. These people that we let come in into our countries with H-1 visa, they came here instead of, now they call it espionage, And many of them, especially for China, especially from China, they come here, they get a graduate, they get the knowledge, and they go back to their country. But many of them stay here and get hired by the industries who knows these kind of graduated people, and they are here. to do this espionage and find out what we are doing in our industries and then they report that back to their own country or they go back after several years to take the knowledge back with them. So that’s the problem that we have.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, that one, I see that one being a, to your point, a huge national security problem. And let me have a comparison and tell me if I would be correct in this. You know, we were back in the space race, getting to the moon, trying to beat the Russians there and so on and so forth. This would have been like not having anybody in our own space program, having to recruit at that time. particular time, Russians to come into the country and work for us to be able to get to the moon. The reality is the space program wouldn’t have been what it was had we have done that. Am I correct?
SPEAKER 16 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay. So that’s basically a comparison to what you’re saying.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. Okay. And then the Center for Immigration Studies, two years later, in September of 15, 2024, comes back and reiterate this problem for the country. And I say, hey, listen, the problem is getting worse and worse. We are getting more and more, okay, HB1 visa in this country, and this is causing more and more problem for us because nobody has taken any action in the educational system that we have in order to listen to the report of Pentagon in January of 2021. Then the Center of Immigration Studies in 2022, and then now in September of 2024, they bring that to people’s attention. Hey, this problem is getting bigger and bigger. So now, even now, Elon Musk has come and said, oh, we need to increase the number of HB1 visas because our industry is going to need it. But the fact of the matter is we have reports that these people come here and many of them are good, but some of them are very bad and take our information away. So we, Los Angeles Art College and Brampton Art Institute of Technology, under the supervision of U.S. Art Operation, we have developed technology. The STEM program, we have spent four years, okay, since I became aware of what is happening in 2021 in Congress, I started for us to put together a robust, rigorous, genuine STEM program. And the STEM program includes a STEM curriculum for high school students, and STEM teachers sending a professional development for those teachers who want to teach that course. We have spent a lot of time and effort and money, and we have got that STEM program certified by New York Academy of Science, which is one of the few entities in the country which adheres to NGSS, New Generation Science and Standards, which has 26 criteria, how a STEM program curriculum should be devised and should be created and what needs to be included in it. And we have to review what we submitted to New York Academy of Science several times to adhere and comply with all the requirements of NGSS, plus other requirements that they have. We finished that program, and we have it ready for the school to use. Nice. The problem is somebody has to really bring it to their attention because we have tried since about a year and a half ago, a year ago, when the program was certified by the New York Academy of Sciences. We have reached to high school principals. We have reached to high school schools. We have tried to offer this program at a very reasonable price. But we see that the culture that we have in this country, And the principals and the teachers, they are taking the easy way. They say, oh, we are doing a STEM. Oh, we have a STEM. When you look at their curriculum, it’s a Mickey Mouse project. That’s easy for them. That’s easy for the principals. That easy for the teacher, and they get by. But now we are paying the price.
SPEAKER 04 :
So here’s a question for you, Dr. Kanani, and I understand, you know, what your troubles are and what you’re talking about and so on, and I get that on the public side. What’s your success been like on, you know, the homeschooling, Christian, Catholic school, you know, the parochial, even some of the upper-end charter schools? What’s your reception been like from those folks?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, we have reached out to the church. I have not reached out to the religious school, but we have reached out also to charter schools. We have gone and gathered the charter schools in all the states, etc. And we have tried to reach out to them. And we have tried to tell them, okay, whatever you are paying for the curriculum that you buy, whatever it costs for you, we will offer a real STEM program at a lesser price than you have. We have not been successful because they are lazy. I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, you’re right. Well, and part of that is, and I’m not against, you know, charter schools at all, but it’s still part of the public school system. It’s a charter under that. So the reality is it’s not, you know, independent per se out on its own. There is a overarching public school theme there, if you would. And there’s some good charter schools. Don’t get me wrong, Dr. Kanani.
SPEAKER 16 :
That is correct. I totally agree with you. And I really respect and appreciate everything that they do. They’re all educational people, what they do. I appreciate it, but I want them to open their eyes.
SPEAKER 04 :
Agree.
SPEAKER 16 :
And see what shortage we will have, and we have right now in the market.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, no, you’re right. It’s there as we speak. And again, we could spitball and do all sorts of things back and forth on the folks to try to reach and so on. I mean, not to tell you what to do, but I still think some of your best, prospects will be those that are in the homeschool, Christian school end of things. Mainly because I think they get what you’re talking about, the whole national security end of things.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, I’m afraid. Okay, I’ll thank you for your advice. Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I only say that, Dr. Kanani, because I interview enough of those people and do enough things here on a routine basis and know some of those folks that are in charge of some of those things, and they probably don’t know you exist and that you can offer what you do, but trust me, they’re on the same page.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, but the religious school, they spend some of their time for the religious studies. So the program that we have provided is a rigorous program for the 9th graders, 10th graders, and 11th graders. Because one of the criteria of the NGSS is that the project, the STEM course, any STEM course, needs to be a project-based course. Meaning that you need to start with the atomic periodic table. Okay, what the matter is, how it is made. and how a system is made, etc. We go there, how computers work, what is metal, insulator, semiconductor, more importantly, because all the processes and all the computers based on the semiconductor, we have to teach all of these courses in the course to end up, because our end project, in the STEM program curriculum that we have developed is a mini grid, a real mini grid solar system, photovoltaic system. Because my thesis was in that field. I did my thesis at Princeton University in photovoltaic solar energy. So I have written that based on the fact that we need to know all of that. So we have included that into the STEM program. And the school, really, they need to really believe in it in order to make time for it, make room for it, and let their students. When we give and when they take our curriculum, we train their teachers for free. And if the teacher leaves after six months, okay, we train another teacher. They can’t lose. They cannot lose.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, they can’t lose. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 16 :
They pay the same money for all of the other curriculum and they have, et cetera, even more. But here they get real quality material for their students, but they really have to wake up and be a little bit, take the national interest of the students. and the country in mind in order to really come and get involved with our product.
SPEAKER 04 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
I agree. And this is something where your publicist knows how to get a hold of me. I’ve got some suggestions on some folks that I think you could reach out to, and one of them is in charge of a complete state that I talk to on a routine basis. So I think I can maybe connect you with some folks that you might be able to get some traction with, Dr. Kanani.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m short on time, though. If you would reach back out or have them reach out back to me, you and I can converse on that, and I will get you some names of folks you can contact.
SPEAKER 16 :
I thank you for that, and I will do so.
SPEAKER 04 :
I would be happy to do that. Dr. Kanani, thank you. And he’s right, folks. I mean, you listen to what he’s talking about when it comes to national security and the fact that we’ve got a lot of folks, a lot, the majority of folks that are in that particular realm, are not U.S.-born citizens. Some are, but the majority are not. In fact, I was – funny we’re talking about this. I’ve got a minute. I can do this. We’ll combine our last break here, Charlie. I was at the airport waiting to get my bags. As I’ve said before, I’ll talk to anybody. So there’s a very large black man that’s standing next to me, and we just kind of start chatting it up. And he was waiting for his bags, and I was waiting for mine. He was on a different flight. But anyways, long story short, we start talking about different things. And this particular topic, believe it or not, comes up. He’s an older gentleman. He has a degree in this world that he got back in the mid-90s, but found that through the H-1B program, because they could hire those folks for a lot less money than they were paying him, he ended up having to shift gears and go do some different things because he was replaced by by somebody making a lot less money. So we had kind of this conversation around some of these things. And by the way, I didn’t know Dr. Kanani was even coming on today at that point because Dr. Kanani was a fill-in today for somebody else that was supposed to be here. So long story short, everything I believe does happen for a reason. It was very interesting to be standing next to somebody talking about the very things we’re talking about today, the fact that it’s very real in the workplace. And I’m talking to some random guy at the airport verifying everything Dr. Kanani just said a moment ago. So point being, if you guys are listening and you’ve got any influence upon your local school district, your school board, your Christian school, anything along those lines, homeschool groups and so on, I can get you guys in contact with Dr. Kanani and figure out a way to where you can participate in the program that he’s had or that he’s got. I’ve interviewed him a couple of times now. So this is something that first time I interviewed him, they weren’t quite finished with everything. But as you just heard a moment ago, they are finished. and they will do all of the training necessary to make this happen inside of your school. So if that’s something you’re interested in, please reach out, and I’ll get you guys in contact with one another. And Paul Leuenberger, my good friend, he is my insurance agent.

Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right, just to show you how screwed up things are here in Colorado, somebody texted me this a moment ago. House Joint Resolution 25-1001. concerning a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate for the purpose of hearing a message from His Excellency, Governor Jared Polis, and appointing a committee to escort the governor. So it’s now His Excellency, Governor Polis. Is this guy like King of Colorado? Is that why we’re now referring to him as His Excellency? What a crock of crap. Yeah, that’s where we’re at in Colorado. I mean, that’s what happens when you can’t win elections, by the way. And, yeah, they don’t have a supermajority. I’ll talk about that maybe in the next hour. But you know what? It’s about as close to one as you can get. And no, Colorado GOP Dave Williams, you did nothing yourself to change that. Sorry. You can take all the credit you want, but no credit is due to you. I’ll be back. Another hour coming your way. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
