Summary
The government is pulling funding from Harvard – but they’re so rich right? We’ve got the receipts. We also have the scoop on Ritalin, the ADHD epidemic, and dig into the drama with the Illinois homeschoolers. The kids are alright (especially the Marion YAF group!) and Katy Perry went to space? All this and more on the LOOPcast!

| 0:00.0 | And we're live. Welcome back to the loopcast. It's Tom, Erica, and Josh. And yes, Harvard has decided to |
| 0:05.2 | defy President Trump and forego potentially billions of dollars of federal funding. That opens up some |
| 0:10.3 | broad questions. Why are we giving money to Harvard in the first place? Ding, ding, ding. |
| 0:15.4 | Number one. Addressing, I think I do want to address in this episode, the best argument for is that |
| 0:20.6 | it funds some groundbreaking research, how do universities get fund? |
| 0:24.2 | And maybe people should be taking the Hillsdale option, kind of the OG of foregoing federal funds. |
| 0:28.5 | But we have a lot to discuss there. |
| 0:30.1 | But before you get into that, Erica, what else are we talking about today? |
| 0:32.7 | We also have the New York Times discovers that maybe Ritalin is not the best answer to ADHD. |
| 0:38.6 | Really interesting story out of New York Times there, things that everyone should probably know |
| 0:44.1 | before they put their kid on medication. Also, homeschoolers are facing invasive government |

| 1:01.9 | Yeah, my mother-in-law has been begging me to talk about that on the show. |
| 1:04.9 | Or my wife, by proxy, Illinois, definitely freaked out about that. |
| 1:08.6 | And I'll tease this a little bit. |
| 1:10.6 | I had the opportunity |
| 1:11.2 | to speak to some college students at Marion University here in Indianapolis. Absolute pleasure. |
| 1:16.1 | I want to get into a little bit of what we discussed. And I think it was a great experience. |
| 1:19.6 | But before we do that, we have to talk about our sponsors. When you switch to Charity Mobile, 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life, |
| 1:29.4 | pro-family charity of your choice, |
