Part 1:  Ray reads a statement from Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew Pinsky, a practicing physician and addiction expert, said on Thursday that the White House opioid summit gave him hope that the government is willing to put a stop to the opioid epidemic. The boys discuss how we need to have more closed door meetings to get to the bottom of issues. When everything is out in the media when we begin the discussions on hard topics, it becomes political before we can get a thought out. Somehow the discussion ends up with domestic violence, women’s rights, men’s rights and the nuclear family.
Part 2: Ray talks about the statistics of the shooters in our country. Most of them come from families without a father. Gordon talks about what has happened in his school district to keep the schools safe.
Part 3:  Ray reads some of the text messages he is getting. Ray explains he point, once again. Tim Wilson explains his viewpoint. There is more than one way to raise children, but it does come back to having a steady home life. Tim says it goes back to the listening skills. Society has lost the ability to listen to the whole statement before knowing what their stance would be. Tim also describes his thoughts on school safety. We had a caller who says they talked about cluster schools in South Portland but it was decided that they would rather keep neighborhood schools.
