Well, her voice is changed. 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 3: She's like four years older than from when she I know. 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't think i've heard her for 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: a while. 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 3: Wow, he's growing up. 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Dad, Let me tell you dad. 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: Next thing you know, it's going to be sixteen, seventeen, 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: eighteen years old. You might as well just give up 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: right now. She already wants the cell phone from what 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: I understand, well, and her uncle Mike should probably get 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: her one. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: I could get the goobers to chip in. 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: We could get her a nice, you know, iPhone seventeen 16 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: whatever and chip it up to Alaska fat. 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: X so she could have the next day just to 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: irritate girl. 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: Dad. Absolutely absolutely. Before I move on to the next topic, 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: which doesn't fit in at all with what we've been 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: talking about, Gouber number eleven forty six, says Mike. Who 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: do you think can lead the Colorado GOP. You can't 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: just say what is going on is bad and not 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,919 Speaker 2: have a suggested solution. Oh, a person by name in parentheses. 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: I've bet Rush made those suggestions behind the mic I'm 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: sure Rush did. And I will tell you what I've 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: been doing behind the mic trying to find names. 28 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: I've asked. I've asked numerous people. 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: I've asked former state reps, former state senators. I've asked 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: former governors. I've asked any number of people that's in 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: my sphere of influence. I've asked people outside Colorado that 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: know Colorado pretty well, you know, give me some names. 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: And nobody's come up with a name yet. And well, 34 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say nobody's come up with a name. Nobody's 35 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: come up with a name yet, where I thought, hmm, 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: that might be something that meets my criteria, because I'm 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: looking for someone that meets my criteria, and I want 38 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: my criteria to be your criteria. As I said, we 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: need a serious candidate, now candidate a serious chairperson, and 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: that chairperson is the opposite in terms of personality, skill sets, 41 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: everything is the opposite of what we've had for years now. 42 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: One individual made a comment to me that part of 43 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: the problem was or is, that we started paying the 44 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: chairman of the GOP Republican Party. I'm not sure I 45 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: agree with that, except to this extent. Anytime there's money involved. 46 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 2: That's like putting out the bug light, and so all 47 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: the bugs come flocking to it because they all all see, oh, 48 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: this is a way too. This is a way to 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: do two things. One increase their profile, their public profile, 50 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: and at the same time get paid for doing that. 51 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: That's not what we want now. 52 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree that it has to be a 53 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: volunteer position. If it is a volunteer position, then that's 54 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: going to limit your pool of possible candidates, because how 55 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: many of you If you've met all the criteria that 56 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: I outlined, that you understand business, you can, you can, 57 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: you can be financially obsessive in a good way, that 58 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: you can manage difficult personalities, that you get satisfaction from 59 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: other people getting the credit for doing things that you're 60 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: just you're just letting them go do stuff. You understand 61 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: our geography, you understand our electorate. You understand and that 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: this is not a one office. You're not you're not 63 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: going to I remember, I remember that the job that 64 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: brought me to Colorado forty years ago or whatever it was, 65 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: I was there. There were there were there were long 66 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: story short, they narrowed the pool of candidates down from 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: more than a thousand to five and I was in 68 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: that five. And we went through psychological exams, we went 69 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: through ethics exams, we went through we went through a 70 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: battery of all kinds of tests for this executive committee 71 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: to make a recommendation for this particular position. 72 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: I came out on top. 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: But here's what struck me, and I think this is 74 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: exactly why they chose me. Do you know what they 75 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: told me as we were negotiating contract. I wanted a 76 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: five year contract. They were doing a three year contract, 77 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: and they said, we're only going to give you three 78 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: years because we don't believe you will even last three years. 79 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: I thought, Wow, you guys really know how to sell 80 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: this position. And what they didn't realize was they had 81 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 2: just hit my buttons. 82 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: Oh so you won't. 83 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: Give me a five year You only want a three 84 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: year because you don't even think I'll make it three 85 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: years because it's such a difficult job. You know, when 86 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: I think about the job description was much like the 87 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: Colorado Republican Party ended up being there for you want 88 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: to guess almost eleven years? Yeah, almost eleven years. And 89 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: boy did I did I stir some stuff up. But 90 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: I met what they I did what they were looking for, 91 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: or at least what they thought they were looking for. 92 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: I think when you actually start doing with like if 93 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: we find someone then would go do this, and they 94 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 2: do what I am asking them to do, there will 95 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: be people will rise up and say, oh my god, 96 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: again we hes doing that. Well wait a minute, we 97 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: talk about it. This is what we wanted, so shut 98 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: up us it down. So if we're going to not 99 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: pay someone, they first have to have all of the qualifications, 100 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: and then on top of those qualifications, they have to 101 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: have the ability to self sustain themselves, which means they've 102 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: got to be retired and wealthy or wealthy to begin with, 103 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: or they somehow they don't need the money for whatever reason. 104 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: It's a true conundrum. So you have to pay somebody. 105 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: And if you're going to pay somebody, then you have 106 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: to be very meticulous, which is a hard thing to 107 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: do when you got five hundred people voting, Which is 108 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: a hard thing to do for five hundred people to 109 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: come to a consensus on one individual, which tells me 110 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: that there's a problem structurally in the party too. Anytime 111 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: you get beyond you go look at I don't know 112 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: why today, but I got off on the oh because 113 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: well it wasn't because I was voting, but because I 114 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: had recently voted for the board of directors on Apple, 115 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: and I generally go through I know most of them. 116 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: I can tell you I consistently for decades voted no 117 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: on al Gore to be a board a member of 118 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: the Board of directors of Apple. 119 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: So I was just. 120 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: Going through them, and I was thinking about all of 121 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: all of what they've done and accomplished, and you know, 122 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: they're now on the board of Apple. You know what, 123 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: Apple is always in the top three largest companies in 124 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: the history of the universe, and they do they do 125 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: amazing things with amazing product So they're going through a 126 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: little tough time right now trying to figure out what 127 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: they actually are. And oh, in fact, that's what prompted 128 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: me to look at the current board of directors because 129 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: they're they're kind of faltering with AI and they're they 130 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: got a big announcement coming next week, and you know 131 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: that Apple maps and theory and things like that haven't. 132 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: Been working so well. 133 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: Well, all of that is a result of everything from 134 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: the Chairman of the board to Tim Cook, the CEO, 135 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: and it all flows downward. 136 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: But the board. 137 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: If I recall, right, might be eight people, eight, there 138 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: might be eleven. I'm not sure, but it seems like eight. 139 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: I just go back and look. 140 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: Eight. 141 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: So those eight people hire the CEO. We're asking five 142 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: hundred people to hire a CEO. So structurally we have 143 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: a problem to begin with. And that's one of the 144 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: things that a new chair would have to do is 145 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: say and remember all those five hundred people, Well, you 146 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: think they want to give up their little ability to vote? 147 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: And who's the chair? That's power? Everybody wants a little power. 148 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: And that's the problem with the political party. And that's 149 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: the problem with every political party, Republican or Democrat, but 150 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: particularly with the Republicans. And again, as I say, I 151 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: don't know the current chair person, I didn't really know. 152 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: I didn't know uh Dave Williams at all either. But 153 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: what I do recognize is that they don't have the 154 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: personality types that we need to fulfill that role. And 155 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: yet when I ask, I've gotten you know, I've gotten 156 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: one interesting name back from someone from one of you goobers. 157 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: Chris Wright, Yes, the Secretary of Energy, which would be 158 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: an amazing choice because one he has that DC experience 159 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 2: at that at that level, at that cabinet level, and 160 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: he's certainly used to taking an accustomed to taking all 161 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: sorts of slings and arrows because of being the Secretary 162 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: of Energy. Now whether he is and I don't know 163 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: anything about his financial background, Dragon, I have talked to 164 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: him before, but we didn't say, you know, before we interviewed, 165 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: we need to see your financial statement. 166 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: He may or may not be able to do without 167 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: getting paid. 168 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: So we get back to pay not pay, And then 169 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 2: you get back to the whole structure about how do 170 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: you select that individual and what process do you go 171 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: through to select that individual, because while we call the 172 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: person the chair, it's almost as if you need a 173 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 2: small board of directors eleven people. I've always thought eight 174 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: to eleven was the ideal size of a board, and 175 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: they would elect the CEO of the party that way, 176 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: you don't have five hundred people out there all you know, ohvo, 177 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: you get to vote? 178 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: Isn't that person? 179 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: You know? 180 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: It's it's insane what we're doing. 181 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: A talented manager, they can deal with difficult personalities, because 182 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: if you've ever dealt with politicians, you know that they're 183 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: incredibly difficult personalities. You don't become even a state repro 184 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: state senator without having a fairly significant ego. You don't 185 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: become a governor, a US senator, a president, a member 186 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: of the cabinet without having a pretty significant ego. But 187 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,359 Speaker 2: it's those people who understand their own ego, who understand 188 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: their own Well. 189 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: We all have, you. 190 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: Know, the hierarchy of needs, and we all have our 191 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: desire to be influential and powerful in whatever our sphere 192 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: of influence is. But you have to learn to modulate that, 193 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: and you have to learn to control that so that 194 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: you can accomplish what you're truly trying to accomplish. You 195 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: have to be a good delegator. But before you can 196 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 2: even be a good delegator, you've got to have the 197 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: right people to delegate too. That's why I go back 198 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: to my theory. That's the best thing we can do 199 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: is literally go and I don't know, I'd have to 200 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: talk to a bankruptcy lawyer. I haven't I didn't practice 201 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: bankruptcy law. But put it in chapter seven, liquidated and 202 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: completely demolish it and start all over. Elon must said, 203 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: you know what we need is a new party. Michael 204 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: Brown is saying what we need is we need a 205 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: new party. Oh, you can still call it a Republican Party. 206 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody owns that name, but we could. 207 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: We could take that name, and we could rebuild an 208 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: entire structure and put in the kind of people that 209 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: are going to do the kind of hard work and 210 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: set aside their egos and set aside their agendas. Because 211 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: as I said earlier, and I know, I know that 212 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: many in this audience revolse when I say that what 213 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: took Striker and Guilt and pol Us, you know, twenty 214 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: someven plus years to build. We're not going to overturn 215 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: that overnight. We have to do it step by step, 216 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: inch by inch, little by little wins here and there. 217 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: And let's go back to the Gooberna Toil race. People 218 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: probably don't like to hear me say this, but I 219 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: want a candidate that one has a chance to win. 220 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I'd love for them to be 221 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: able to win. But if they're going to lose, I 222 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: want them to lose in a margin that is tight. 223 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: Fifty two to forty eight. And maybe that's maybe, maybe 224 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: that's just a dream on my part, but fifty two 225 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: to forty eight would be wonderful. I take fifty five 226 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: to forty five. I take fifty six forty four because 227 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: within that margin you showed that you can you can 228 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: look toward affiliates unaffiliated. And remember, unaffiliated does not necessarily 229 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 2: automatically mean Democrat or liberal. Unaffiliated means essentially not Democrat, 230 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: not Republican. I know some are Democrat, some are Republican, 231 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: and there are some who are truly needed one. Now, 232 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: when you get into their positions on certain policies, you 233 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: might be able to put a label on them, but 234 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: they have said In fact, I've got a text message 235 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: from someone who said, or an email I forget which one, 236 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: that said, I completely unaffiliated from the party simply because 237 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: it was such a cluster, you know what. But that 238 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: doesn't mean they are now a Democrat. It means they 239 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: are truly unaffiliated. So a candidate that would lose in 240 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: this cycle fifty two to forty eight, fifty six to 241 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: forty four, whatever the margin is, but a close one, 242 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: not seventy to thirty, not eighty to twenty. That's something 243 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: to build on because, as I said, that means they've 244 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: got a donor list, they've got an organization, they've got 245 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: all of the infrastructure that we need to build a 246 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: party out. But that has to be a serious candidate, 247 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: that has to be a candidate that can articulate that. 248 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: Listen, we're not. 249 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: Going to turn this state red in twenty twenty six, 250 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: but I'm going to start that process. I'm going to 251 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: try to rein in, you know, assuming that we don't 252 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: control the House or the Senate. At the state level, 253 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,479 Speaker 2: I'm going to try to rein in the Democrats. 254 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to go. 255 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: Out there and every single day pound them about what 256 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: they're doing and explain to the people why what they're 257 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: doing is bad for their business, bad for their livelihoods, 258 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: bad for their housing prices, bad for their taxes, bad 259 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: for the crappy roads that we drive on. Bad, bad, bad, 260 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: bad because that's what Democrats are doing to the state. 261 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: But you've got to do it in a way that 262 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: I don't do an air because I come on the 263 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: air and get really wound up. We need someone who 264 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: can go to the people and simply explain to them, 265 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: do you know why you feel like you're not getting 266 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: ahead because here's what they're doing over the Public Bureau. 267 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: Here's why your property taxes are the way they are. 268 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: Here's why, you know, let me pick on the for example, 269 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: just as an example that probably doesn't seem relevant to you, 270 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: but just bugs you know what out of me. The 271 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: Douglas County commissioners Republicans. I put air quotes around that 272 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: had decided that there's no longer going to be a 273 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: public comment period. Well what does that say? What does 274 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: that say to the person who just wants to go 275 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: speak to speak to their county commissioner about a road 276 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: issue or a development issue, or a water issue or 277 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 2: anything else. Oh, I can't speak to you because you 278 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: don't take public comments. 279 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Who the hell do you three? Who the hell do 280 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: you three? Yah? 281 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: Who's think you are? And you think and you call 282 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: yourself Republican? By my ass, you're not Republicans. You're a 283 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: bunch of power hungry Neanderthals that are sitting there telling 284 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: the public, Yeah, we don't want to hear from you. 285 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: In fact, we're going to put up a little a 286 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: little rail around the DIA so you can't get too 287 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: close to us because you might reb off. You might 288 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: you might rep off on us. That's the Republican Party 289 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: in Colorado. Give me a freaking break. That's a Democrat. 290 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: That's how Democrats act. You're going to start hearing more 291 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 2: and more and more about this eternal and infernal in 292 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,239 Speaker 2: fighting going on in the Colorado Republican Party. And I 293 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: just want you to remember that. I've told you, I've 294 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: given you Mark your podcast whatever you want to do. 295 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: But I've described two things, the serious candidate and the 296 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: ideal chair, and I want you to think about it 297 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: that now. 298 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: I want you to keep that in mind. 299 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: And when you see a Republican member of the legislature, 300 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 2: or a Republican county commissioner, or someone who once is 301 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: running for governor, whatever it is, you ask yourself, do 302 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: they meet Brown's criteria for a serious candidate? Or when 303 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 2: it comes time, if you're a member of five hundred 304 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 2: of the Central Committee and you're getting ready to vote 305 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: on a chairmanship, ask yourself, am I meeting brown standards 306 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: for the ideal chair? Because if you can't answer yes, 307 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: and you need to run away from that individual. With 308 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: all the candidates the Republicans have, I think they should 309 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 2: run mister McGoo, I think he'd do better. 310 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: What was that mister McGoo sounded like him? He does, 311 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: he does, It's just but he said that. 312 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: I thought, look, if you're nominating yourself, we'll then go. 313 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: Mister magoo. So here is. 314 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: A sentence that And by the way, for those of 315 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: you who want something in writing about my ideal candidate 316 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: and my ideal chairman, well it's on the podcast. But 317 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 2: I'll see if I can't put it in writing.

See if I can't 320 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: beg him to put it up. I mean, I'm I 321 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: open it up on X two. 322 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: Well, if you go to the podcast page at Michael 323 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 3: says go here dot com, a lot of the podcasts 324 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: are transcribed. 325 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: I didn't writ. 326 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: Bye bye AI, but oh. 327 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: Well, then lord knows what they say. Maybe I should 328 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: start reading them. True, Jimmy Christmas, this is a sentence, 329 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: a line that I never thought i'd say on this program. 330 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 2: Jewish children in the state of California are being physically attacked, 331 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: psychologically tormented, segregated from their classmates, and being taught by 332 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: their own teachers that they those children are the embodiment 333 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: of evil. And guess what California's done about it? Almost nothing. 334 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: And that's not rhetoric. That comes from a federal lawsuit 335 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: that I found that was filed overnight, the first anti 336 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: Semitism lawsuit ever brought against an American state government. And 337 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: the facts the legend that complaint are frankly the kind 338 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 2: of things you'd expect to read about in a history 339 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 2: book about say, Europe in the nineteen thirties, not in 340 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: a progressive American state like California. The prides itself on 341 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: the speaking civil rights protections. 342 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 3: Holy cow. 343 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: Now. 344 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 2: The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court 345 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 2: by the Lewis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights under 346 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: Law and the advocacy group Stand with Us. It's backed 347 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: by a white shoe New York law firm, Davis Pogan Wardell. 348 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: In the defendant state of California itself, the California Department 349 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 2: of Education, the California State Board of Education, the state 350 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: Superintendent of Public Instruction, and he's also named not only 351 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 2: his official capacity, but personally also. And the plainists are 352 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: several Jewish families and a coalition of nearly four hundred 353 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: members who have experienced what the complaint calls, the lawsuit calls, 354 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: and I'm quoting directly conditions that do not conform to 355 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: the laws of California, but rather the standards of the 356 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: European Middle Ages or the Soviet Union that's in the complaint. Now, 357 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about some of these children. 358 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: Before I do, I want to explain just a little 359 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: bit about filing this kind of complaint. Whether it's in 360 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 2: superior court or federal court, doesn't make any difference. When 361 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: a lawyer files a lawsuit and you list, Now, in 362 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: federal court, you're limited to a certain number of pay 363 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 2: is certain of allegations. There's a there's a little more 364 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: limitation in federal court than is in state district court. 365 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: But in state court you can pretty much tell your story. 366 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 2: So lawyers that are good trial lawyers will paint that 367 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: story in the complaint, in the in the lawsuit itself, complaint, lawsuit. 368 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 2: I'm using those interchangeably. The complaints. The actual uh is 369 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 2: the actual paper that gets filed. 370 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: A lawyer. 371 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,719 Speaker 2: When they when a lawyer puts their name to that complaint, 372 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: they are as an officer of the court saying that 373 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 2: we believe these allegations to be true, and we don't 374 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: make them recklessly. We don't make them. You know that 375 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 2: these are not spurious, spurious allegations. These are serious, fact 376 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: based allegations, and we are going to prove the truth 377 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: of these allegations. Now, of course that's going to be 378 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: battled off in the court because what's the state and 379 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: all these defendants going to do. 380 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: They're going to deny all of this. 381 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 2: But for the plaintiff, the people filing the lawsuit, they 382 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: have to assure the court through their lawyer, that they 383 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: have a good faith belief that these things are true. 384 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: Now, I just want you to understand. 385 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 2: That because as this lawsuit proceeds through the court, there 386 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: will be you know, just like any cross examination, some 387 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: things will be whittled down a little bit, some things 388 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: will actually turn out to be worse than we thought. Well, 389 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take about some of these families because these 390 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: are real children. And this is Zechs calendar. This is Thursday, 391 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 2: February twenty six, twenty twenty six. This is a long 392 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: way from the nineteen thirties. There's a twelve year old boy, 393 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: we'll call him Ba, at Louis Armstrong Middle School in 394 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: Los Angeles. He regularly wears Israel related T shirts. He 395 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: wears a Sard David necklace to school. Now his teacher. 396 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 2: This teacher actually had a social public social media account 397 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 2: boasting about participating in the anti Israel encampment that was 398 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 2: on the grounds of UCLA that physically barred Jewish students 399 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: from campus. This teacher started fabricating disciplinary charges against this 400 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: twelve year old boy. She gave him failing marks without 401 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: any reason whatsoever. She threatened that he would not graduate 402 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 2: to eighth grade. She called his behavior and I quote 403 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: from the lawsuit, egregious and dangerous with him. When his 404 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: mom said, hey, well, what did Bea do, the teacher 405 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 2: said it didn't matter. Five other families discovered the same 406 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 2: thing was happening to their Jewish children in that same classroom. 407 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 2: The school's response, well, we's going to move Ba to 408 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: a different class. We're going to leave the teacher in place. 409 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: We're not going to impose any discipline. And in fact, 410 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: not only are we not going to impose any discipline, 411 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 2: we're not going to even investigate your claims against the teacher. 412 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 2: Now that twelve year old boy refuses to wear his 413 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 2: Star of David's school, He won't even wear his Jewish 414 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 2: summer camp t shirts. His mom claims that he cries 415 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: every single day, and she's desperately trying to get this 416 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 2: kid into a private school. There's also a boy at 417 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: Daniel Pearl syring a bell. It's the Wall Street Journal 418 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: that was kidnapped and be headed Jewish reporter for the 419 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal. Daniel Pearl Magnet High School named after 420 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: that Wall Street Journal reporter. He was beheaded because he 421 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: was Jewish and American and he had a double amy 422 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: against him. On the two year anniversary of the October 423 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: seventh massacre in Israel, the deadly stay for Jews is 424 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: the Holocaust. His chemistry teacher rode in the classroom whiteboard 425 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 2: oive it's free with an arrow pointing to the words 426 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: free Palestine. Now that teacher had spent weeks refusing to 427 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: take down free Palestine posters over the repeated objections of 428 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: the students and the parents. The school's solution, take a guess, 429 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: Just take a wild guess. Come on, you can figure 430 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: it out. Force the boy to drop the honors class, 431 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: take a remote online course by himself outside of school hours. 432 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: But the teacher stayed. 433 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 2: Of course, he was only removed after He was only 434 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: removed after he was caught stapling a student's arm and 435 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: got arrested on felony charges. And then let's talk about 436 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: a girl in San Bernardino County, a middle schooler. You know, 437 00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: wait to hear her story. 438 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 4: Hey, Mike Shoestring referred to you as MTB. We know 439 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: what the M stands for, and we know what the 440 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 4: B stands for, but what does the T stand for? 441 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: We know it's not talent. 442 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: You suppose Ryan doesn't know my middle middle initial. 443 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 3: I'm fairly certain that he does, so, so that. 444 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 2: Means that the T stands for something derogatory because it's Ryan. 445 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: So we gotta figure out what that is. 446 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 3: Transgender, Michael transgender Brown. 447 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: That's it, Michael trans Brown. There you go, that's. 448 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: It, because today I identify as. 449 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: Goofball. 450 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 3: She them him, No. 451 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: No, no, I my trans my transitioning has nothing to 452 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 2: do with gender. It just has to do with my mood. 453 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 2: And right now, my mood's pretty sour because of this story. 454 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: So let's somebody this little girl in sam burn And County. 455 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: She's a middle schooler. She gets choked by another student 456 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 2: who just screamed at her, shut your stupid jewish ass up. Now, 457 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: the school didn't classify that as a hate crime. Whoa, Oh, 458 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: what if you yelled that at a at a Muslim? 459 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: The school denied her parents' access to the security footage. 460 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 2: The assailant did not get disciplined. She ended up with 461 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: traump induced anxiety, insomnia, hypervigilance, and nightmares. The school offered 462 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: her zero mental health support whatsoever. 463 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: Hmm. 464 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: And of course the kid that did it didn't get 465 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: in trouble at all. Then there's a family in Berkeley 466 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: whose childhood kill the Jews and eliminate Israel. In school hallways, 467 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: Julie's students were asked what their number is, obviously a 468 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: reference to the numbers tattooed on prisoners such a at Auschwitz, 469 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: and then when they're My mother stood up at a 470 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: Berkeley Unified school board meeting to report the Jewish children 471 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: were being called the K word and dirty Jews. I 472 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: just don't like using the word. A person in the 473 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: audience screamed at her Zionist Nazi B word, and a 474 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: Berkeley Unified employee drowned her out by making farting sounds 475 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: into the microphone. A school employee at a public school 476 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: board meeting. Maybe that's what the Douglas County Commissioners can 477 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: start doing. And then in December, Brandham High School in 478 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: San Jose, eight students formed a human swastik on the 479 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: foot on the football field during the school day. Not 480 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 2: one administrator, teacher, janitor, nobody intervened. And then that night 481 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 2: somebody posted the photo to social media with a nineteen 482 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: thirty nine Hitler quote calling for the annihilation of the Jews. 483 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: The state of California nothing, the school. 484 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: Nothing. 485 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: Now, let me put my lawyer head on for a moment, 486 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: because the legal architecture of this case is very elegant 487 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 2: and probably devastating for the state. 488 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: California's very own constitution. 489 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: Article one, section seven seven guarantees equal protection under the law. 490 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: Their own Education Code, Section two twenty prohibbits discrimination on 491 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: the base of nationality, race, ethnicity, and religion in any 492 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: public school, and California Statute fifty one five oh one 493 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: prohibbits instructional instructional materials that reflect adversely upon persons on 494 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 2: the basis of race, ethnicity, or religion. And then California 495 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: just passed Assembly Bill seven fifteen, which acknowledges in the 496 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: text of the bill itself that Jewish students across the 497 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 2: state face a quote widespread surge and anti Semitic discrimination 498 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: that is so severe that it is quote completely impeded 499 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: their ability to learn. 500 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: California passed that law. 501 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: California acknowledged in writing the problem they have, and then 502 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: what they do zilch nothing. So the complaint the lawsuit 503 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: makes a particularly damning comparison. In two thousand and twenty twenty, 504 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 2: the state of California sued the Stockton, Salslito, and Barstowe 505 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: school districts for discriminating against black and Hispanic students. The 506 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: state used its full investigatory and prostitutal power to protect 507 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: those kids. It didn't do the same for the Jewish children. 508 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: That's not a moral failure. I mean, it is a 509 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: moral failure, but it's more than that. It is, in 510 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: my opinion, a constitutional violation of equal protection treating one 511 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: minority differently than another. And the curriculum, Oh my gosh, 512 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 2: the teachers did an unauthorize teaching during December of twenty 513 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: twenty three using materials created by the Teachers Union that 514 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: were designed for children's youngest transitional kindergarten. In that I 515 00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 2: stood for Intifada in that interesting anti semitism. There's really 516 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: something wrong with the left in this country,
