you. know what if you treat the thing like a real that would be the last to leave the bottom if you. like you know what i got. this. week so. well governor watching the harks i am tyrrel butter and i'm top of the list so tell the happy show today today we are going to only have stories that are good news that are happier that we all can use it right about now that we've seen enough devastation and strife we could be we could be reminded of how great humanity can be in little lacks the bigger acts and maybe for one day just not worry about you know. all the bats why

where it's all coming or why we're saying it is a part of some conspiracy it is it's a conspiracy to make you look at the good things because they happen they do happen and we should be celebrating those. much more than we are you cannot always focus on the negative focus on these things we have to talk about them and deal with them it's totally true but you can't see it mercer soften it every day because then your perspective is really skewed and this compassion is one of those situations where look at how much good you can do just by taking the time to say hey larry david i think it's a really incredible the compassion was there held like multiple times during the year there's not really a winner or loser of your son so everybody's a winner and what it does is just anybody can kind of go on to those sites and log on and they basically you know say ok this is a little bit of kindness a little bit of compassion i didn't like the situation california prisons is they've adopted this bill like a whole month in like september where all of the inmates in this woman's prison all

have to do like these kind of acts of compassion during the day and then they get credits for them and i kind of creates this mentality of like oh wow ok actually clean somebody's not all white them i still like cleaning their room i did this little thing for him it's pretty incredible it's played in over forty countries by close to five hundred thousand players. apparently according to their members they've actually served five point four million people with these kind of random acts of compassion that can range from something really major like teaching someone to read to just serving like the grandma breakfast you know it's all kind of walks ladies really brilliant stuff and you can actually look at it one of the rear really great things is that they have this map which you can see to see both images that are amazing. that has you know the map of where where everything is so you go down into an area and then you go on to this site and you can click on what compassionate things are happening. in each neighborhood by neighborhood this

is about around the world so you start out you go to india you can go to japan and all those little acts of kindness and there's a picture and some of them of links you can go in and see more about that act how many people it reached how many people were involved so you have the one it was a it was one in two and a girl went to help her grandmother wash dishes someone lent a sound system to a momar ial service in stark florida and so all those things are there and you start to see other people and you see like these really big ones where you see you know fourteen people and one hundred fifty people but it's even those ones are it's one person reached one person and made their day a little bit better that's huge that's what we missed these days we said on social media you know. we don't go to our neighbor and go hey how do you listen if it happens you do one little act of that in this region which is i will never go as i mean look at i even can say something good about google which is. the parent

company of google really stepped up this week. you know what. is without cell phone coverage right now well google stepped up got the f.c.c. to ok it but they're part of their loon project which is where they kind of raise these air balloons in the year that actually does simulated cell towers so then the i'm going to do that then we'll kind of hover over an area especially in a disaster zone and they'll be able to bounce signals so now the google actually stepped up is going to bring some cellular internet signal to puerto rico which is in desperate need for any kind of infrastructure but there's another thing that the infrastructure of the capital it's also really cool but little older older style yes there's my favor because i'm a big train lover i love it. because i'm a thousand years old but there is a group that volunteered to keep infrastructure going and their community and their state you've got centennial stay. in washington state is an amtrak station run

completely by volunteers and most of them are over sixty years of age so centennial sister station was built by volunteers replacing an old depot that was nearby and it serves this whole area that volves a libya the capital of washington so last year over sixty five thousand bastards are boarded or got off the train at this little station so ten passenger trains a day and what you have is a series of community members that have retired or some are retired and they go there and they pick your ticket and they tell you where to go and they help people do this i mean that's huge just to keep the structure of the people. who said andrew months of compassion for our community a little good news groups will do. throughout history time has proven that education is truly the only fail proof weapon to push back against oppression and it's no coincidence that whenever tyrants have come to power they have always celebrated with bonfires of books and newspapers when revolutionaries in china set

out to forcibly reinvent their society and shore up their power museums libraries and historical artifacts were the first to go along with anyone who knew their meaning and as we saw recently when mobs of isis militants took over towns in iraq and syria access to education and history are the first things to go but in a glimmer of hope in recent weeks we've been able to witness a small but sweet victory as thousands of children in iraq and syria return to classrooms after years of hiding as syrian iraqi russian and u.s. forces liberate more and more territory from isis occupation textbooks and school yard graham certainly can't wipe out the horrors of the last few years but can a renewed access to education perhaps make some kind of difference in their lives oh completely completely. is the vision of everything we've people from why do you walk. in here in the us you know. no baltimore to blow no

black city of iraq. from a strong violent spareribs or violent spirit was ultimately the only way you're going to escape whether be you know your neighborhood to get an education if there's no you there's nothing but that i was going to get that education and to come back and save your neighborhood right all stems from the ability to be able to go to a classroom and learn and be allowed to learn the right things about the world and be allowed to learn out of the world is rome and it's not just some marrow you know dogmatic viewpoint of the ruling power whoever that may be right you know well and what's so disturbing about what happened and we've talked about it a lot on the show and elsewhere that the one of the most disturbing things for me with the iraq iraq war was they crushed infrastructure that was really important in a place where education was really important to society despite i'm not saying that iraq and saddam hussein were great they're like don't misconstrue but their educational system was something that was really something you know war is and

evidently a bird will experience ok no matter what and it's a pity that these sort of happy optimistic moments like these don't get the same kind of attention that say the seizes of moe's all and a lot got on cable t.v. every day every day and. children and certain campaigns that were pushed very heavily but it's i know it's hard to believe right now but prior to the gulf war. iraq had probably the most advanced educational system in the middle of. it provided free schooling guaranteed through college they had modern state of the art facilities at the time and through war and sanctions look what happened it's gone so now all you see the same thing and so you saw the same thing in syria you're doing to go is education you know and then they're kind of the the civil war there . all the war going on there you know from all uses to the rubble and all of the as

a socially kind of you know reach havoc on the society. for real but the primary school enrollment period from an oppressive ninety one percent in two thousand and eleven to thirty seven percent in two thousand and fifteen the. loss of kids being able to go to school and you know you can point the finger at all sides of the moment to areas destabilized i didn't hear anybody from obama go to our current administration say anything about we're so worried about the school kids and syria no no whatever. i mean the tape where it certainly wasn't a major news item i can tell you that much we didn't care about the kids you think it was happening them you didn't care about their role they. but now you care about is this is that moment where does thing here is this as we see you know kind of isis push as we see some more stability you find of a country whether you agree the solder his government or not you just want the stability to allow kids to go to school at least maybe you know. just receive

anything i'd like these guys holding shit superhero taking place in syria there is hope so the whole point of the show there's little hope in seeing these kids go back to school was and hopefully these kids will be able to survive and you know bring their education back to agree to rebuild some of those communities. and one of the things that we did see is the stories out of iraq and syria is. who was attacked if you remember her she was attacked by extremists in pakistan five years ago trying to attend school so that was her nobel peace prize all of this so five years later to the day every fatal attack she has a nobel peace prize under her. she started her first stand oxford and while the day that's a happy ending if i've ever heard one of the young woman who faced death trying to learn is now on the anniversary of that. starting here first and it can happen

pretty good was all wrong all right as we go to break mark watchers don't forget to let us know what you think the topics we've covered facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we keep the compassion and inspiration flowing as tabitha wallace said start with abby and follow talks to the dignity of making a difference in your community from the least likely places straight to the watchable. and you know when there's no you know until you go into the other shows are those are the you know mr wilson exposed. to telling other

things are true that he didn't intend to do that then. you have. to go to war if you will you know you didn't just you believe all of these blows in the glider and lay shotgun but on the number that the one seems nobody can take the one that. seals to it or got up out of the line down and you know it's going to go in the state of the impulse you know in and he's not a bully there's no room for the machine. to use it. so the he and. he will become worthless. colin is still exist. rico's treated as one does not run the economy calls on the hind fulsome alito and then will confront him along on the point zero three cool i see no one else can i do a lot of he doesn't make. the island is controlled by the us government and some

puerto ricans crave independence joe it was the almighty god you know. good at either way but i'm going to sort of randomly come over thinking again. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day knowing. i'm a long way from mania. beings. with the country at a crossroads for anger on the island is on the rise. a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside god's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness in spending two to twenty million. books it's an experience like nothing else on the

because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so what chance with. the base it's going to. los angeles the sony of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens. tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such. a tiny house on

a parking space is not a solution your mouth to someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. two sisters. were trying to figure out ways to make the most of their family's ranch and cat spring texas during the twenty eleven drought which was destroying practically every plant on the ranch except for want the thought to be just another annoying we that needed to be pulled you know pong turned out to be the only caffeinated plant known to be made of the north america and while it took a bit of work abbie and agenda to be eventually brought this tea once revered by native americans a thousand years ago to the modern american public along with

a series of awards for the work they do see this story is more than just a tale of some tasty t.v. it's a story about rising above adversity looking for the silver lining and bringing dignity back to people's lives like co-host tab at the side down recently with i.b.m. follow co-founder of cap spring to find out more. in taxes there's a drought about ten years ago and we were losing hundred year old oak tree in our family ranch in cat spring texas statewide we lost about thirty million trees and it was devastating but the only thing that's green was yellow pine and so. we just started to do some research you know maybe it's good for furniture because it's so hard and then uncovered this legacy that native americans had consumed it for millennia and traded it all over the u.s.

in. the discovery of these studies that were coming out from texas a and m. in the university of florida demonstrating its caffeine in health benefits named. we just were interested in honestly we figured hey you know it must taste terrible if no one liked it why is no one doing what is right now there's so much of it and so we just started to play around with a lot of different preparation methods and watched a lot of you tube videos and then we ended on a few different kind of a hybrid of a japanese tea and then a preparation methods so what is it about this i mean it's made from caffeine but you say it's good for you because most of us think about coffee every other every six months it's good for you. but twelve is in. so what is it about this even though it's a captivated what is it about it that makes it also sort of a health a lick star in a way sure sure for one thing we're wild harvesting it so there's nothing touching

these plants but sunshine and water where so many other teams or coffee that you're imported will have been sprayed with some herbicide or pesticide. and second the primary energy in it is actually mean it's what you find in trace amounts of dark chocolate oh ok and so most of the feedback we get is that it's more of a gentle like a focused energy so it's more of a boost without the crash so yeah you're staying but it's still the sort of caffeinated train you know with so you you have to go to a process where there aren't a lot of people around that. you know we're we're here obviously two hundred years ago. and it was originally a process how did you go about finding. a way to process and figure out all these things without you know just an obvious place to go. yeah. it is from two hundred years ago and it had been consumed and most of the historical documentation was from explorers not the native american tribes that were producing

it so there is really no help there. and then there really hasn't been anyone producing it scale here in the us so we just had to do some research and figure out how do you make. how do you how are you doing it in japan and china and sri lanka and then how are they preparing your latte and what you saw in south america. every time we would find a different method we would test out with and i mean we did everything from walks in the kitchen to the conventional oven and i started this with my sister and so my mom actually banned us from testing anymore because there's a study this is also smoky but yeah it was a lot of trial and error and then you finally get something that drinkable which i think is interesting also because it takes these japanese and indian method south

american and central and native american plant bringing it all together so you start to produce this for your family farm in your small community and out of that out of hey we can have this thing this tea which now i understand is you know. served locally restaurants and things like that and you could buy it online then you have this thing called working with dignity what is where did that come from and what does that mean to you guys sure thing so you know i'm sure you're very well aware that the criminal justice system is broken in our country. and reentry into society is. almost impossible for so many individuals whether it was a minor brush with the law or exiting human trafficking and they don't have a reference and so it's so hard for them to go on and find employment especially in rural communities when you're really limited on the access to jobs in general and

then limited on the area that you can even apply and so. our goal is to work with our employees and so whether it's being more flexible in how we're hiring them or working directly with probation officers is how we find a lot of our harvesters and so they help us identify individuals who want their future to look different than their past and then there's that accountability and we're able to work directly with them and so it's it's been incredible and we know we're a small company and i know that we'll never hire hundreds of people but our goal is that we can be a reference for them to move forward and hopefully be an example to other employers in our community in that we're taking a stand against the inequities in the system yeah this is a we are in a very old world especially when it's the products that that those of us who are privileged either through work or through luck to be able to afford to go out and

make it is they're coming from the work of people who don't have choices and it's so hard and especially in rural communities do you think this is at least a map of how you can find something in your in your world community and turn it into something that can be. representative of that community spirit i hope so i think one of the things that we've been so blown away by is that it's this beautiful parallel of i mean in our in our community is seen as a nuisance it is a native it's a very tenacious growing plant and so. they're literally bulldozing and burning it to clearly and for cattle or to keep their fence lines clear or clear. and for hay and so it's this amazing parallel of here's this overlooked undervalued resource that is being destroyed and there are so many individuals in our community that are overlooked and undervalued by society in the same way in so i don't think you upon

is the only example of that and especially in there's a shift in agriculture as well being from big ag to the ability to look for more local producers and for people who are interested in something that's more native especially because that is almost a novel thought for us in america right. it's something that's native. and another thing i really interesting is these native plants that are sort of forgotten earth sort of pushed up to the side they're incredibly hard this is something that you can use a player given or words becomes a nuisance because it's so hard what is it about you do you think that there's a future because like you said there's a shift in farming we're starting to see that multi big factory farming and whether it's animals or plants it's it's not giving a good enough product it's also serving the communities there and or customers really so one of them that i want to have a real quick is is how hardy this plant is and how will it because it really is the

story of something that just just has held on first so on absolutely it's also kind of amazing because it seems like it's something that anybody could grow you don't have to be you know to worry if there's a drought you're going to be ok right right yeah it's funny when we first started we're like how do we encourage it to grow i don't know it seems to grow back if we try to kill it you know if. it's been really interesting and that's something you know we want to take sustainability it's very important to us and so that's one of our main goals is that we're respecting the plant and our harvesting in the ecosystem how do we approach this list a cli and one of the things that we're finding is it x. . chile. grows almost on checked because of the lack of native grasses and so many of the grasses that have been brought in for hay or for cattle have really short roots and it's the native grasses with the five foot roots are what

keeps the balance and keeps the pond in check into that something that we've tried to been working with you know sustainability experts and native grass experts to find what is the balance of our harvesting and kind of returning to the natives growth it's hard we're trying to bring the flag and try to get really smart and make lots of things without we need to make lots of food and we forgot how that balance works out what finally what what kind of inspiration what do you advice you gave to entrepreneurs or people who just find something and say you know i want to do something good with this how do you what advice do you have them to finding that balance between having a successful business or having something that can create jobs but also is creating something good in the community sure you know one of the things that we've been really fortunate is to have a lot of advisors and mentors and i think as an entrepreneur i had no idea how many

house you have to wear and you're constantly shifting between operations marketing sales you know problem solving and putting out fires and i think when it is a question of balance at the beginning really clearly laying out your priorities not only with your co-founder but with all of your team in to your. customers and collaborators you know that was something from the beginning we chose to define success as when everyone in our community succeeds and that includes the landowners that we're now working with to harvest and our employees and our customers but also other companies we collaborate with to have something like that so clearly distilled and then we've had people keep us accountable in looking at different areas in our company. say is this still true it does this relationship meet these standards and i think. you have been my advice is it's not don't make it only your job because you have enough to surround yourself with people that will make it theirs as well thank you so much and i look forward to trying your. and learning

more and seeing more from your company and all of the work that you're doing thank you so much memory thank you. sometimes bringing voice to the voiceless takes on a whole new meaning when isaiah koster was born without a jaw and the necessary pathways to breathe his life could have been filled with despair and loneliness unable to speak i say i was still had a lot to say and arizona based rapper trap house was there to help. and was writing lyrics when the two started working together and it was beautiful the salesman or song oceans our oxygen to fly available on i tunes benefit the children's miracle network hospitals and are helping thousands of young people around the world see that a voice is more than what comes out of your mouth it's what comes from your hearts in the lyrics of a cost i don't care what the people say i don't ever say can't or won't here's
