1 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: You know, there is a great Lenin quote out there, 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: and I know Vladimir Lenin was a monster, There's no 3 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: question about that. But he was a monster who understood 4 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: that education is everything. And I say that as an 5 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: uneducated person, right, I say that as somebody who I 6 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: don't even have an associate's degree. But education might not 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: be the word I'm looking for. A training is probably 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for. Quote Lenin's quote was, give 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: me four years to teach the children, and the seed 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: I have sown will never be uprooted. Have you ever 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: seen pull numbers in the country as far as how 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: people vote, which we've ever seen that is fascinating, But 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: there is one number that is eye popping. It was 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: talked about a lot in the lead up to the 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: Trump Joe Biden election. If you go to a university 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: and graduate from a university, you are overwhelmingly communist. It's 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: not universal. So don't email me. I graduated and I 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: don't I'm not interested. 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: I don't care. The numbers are staggering. 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: If you stop after high school, you're probably on the right. 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: If you go to a university for four years communist 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: Why people are trainable? 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: We all are you are. 24 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: I am who you are today, whether you're five watching 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: me now or ninety five watching me now, who you 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: are today is in large part a result of the 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: training you received throughout your life, from your parents, from 28 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: your teachers, from your coach, from your work, from your 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: wherever human beings are trainable. And here in the United 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: States of America, the Communists they've been working on us 31 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: for a very long time. And you should know before 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: we get into you know, the videos and things like that, 33 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: and wonderful guests in the show, you should understand that 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: this was done on purpose. Always remember that it was 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: not an accidental thing. The Communists didn't trip and fall 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: and start educating our kids. The Soviet Union, this is 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundreds. They were trying and trying 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: and trying to get Communism into America. 39 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: They could not get a foothold. They kept trying. 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: It would fail, and they'd get a little foothold here, 41 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: and it would fail. They just kept failing and failing 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: and failing, and they just started pulling their hair out. 43 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: Why why can we not get through? And then they 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: came up with this answer. The American worker is not 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: like the worker in Russia. The American worker is happy. Generally, 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: I realized that we all have complaints about our job. 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: But the American worker is happy. He's provided for. He 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: has a home, three hots, and a cot heat, a family. 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: The American worker is not an angry revolutionary wanting to 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: burn the system down. Well, if you're a communist, you 51 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: don't let that stop your plans of destruction. 52 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: So what to do? What to do? 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: Well, they decided, Hey, why don't we just start teaching 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: them instead of trying to whip up a frenzy in 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: the streets and riots and our normal communist things, why 56 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: don't we just slowly but surely work our way into 57 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: the American education system, and instead of protesting and rioting 58 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: our way to a communist revolution, will simply educate generation 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: after generation after generation of Americans to hate themselves, hate 60 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: their country, hate their parents, hate their values. And that's 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: why today your children go to school and in history 62 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: class they learn that America is the genocide of Native Americans, slavery. 63 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Of course, that's always in there. Then they'll skip right 64 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: to the civil rights movement and uh, too bad, So 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: sad history class is over. That's the history of your country. 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Why is this taught in school because the purpose of 67 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: our education system, our government education system today is in 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: large part to destroy the minds, to poison the minds 69 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: of young people against their own country. 70 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: And it was done on purpose. That's why you have 71 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: a country full of teachers like this. 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: So at the start of a semester, I asked my 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: students for their pronouns, a reminder that they are not preferred, 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: but they are the pronouns that we should be addressing 75 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: them by. And I also ask them to tell me 76 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: if I can use their pronouns in front of the class, 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: in front of other teachers and when I call home, 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: because everyone is in a different part of their journey 79 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: and we need to read full to respect that. 80 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: I've been doing some reading this summer, and so I 81 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: thought I would share a couple of books because you 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: have a little bit. 83 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 5: Of time left to do some reading. 84 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 4: I also read Jack Not Jackie by Erica Silverman, phenomenal read. 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: So if you're a K one, two, three, even it's 86 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 4: a really good read called Jack Not Jackie. And I 87 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: really enjoyed that and I'm excited it'll be on our 88 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: shelves in the media center this fall. 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 6: All Right, we have to talk about this right wing 90 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 6: idea of parents' rights. 91 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 3: It's literally just fascism. 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: So this question says, what do your students call you? 93 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: Since you're not binary? 94 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 7: Mico is one of my. 95 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 2: Students, What do you call me?

That means I'm 177 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 12: I don't identify as a boy or girl, which means 178 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 12: when you talk about me, which have been enough snow 179 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 12: you're gonna say they exactly. 180 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: Sorry, That's all I can do is laugh anymore. 181 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: These freaking monsters who teach the kids in this country 182 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: joining me now. Doctor Corey DeAngelis author of the book 183 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: The Parent Revolution. 184 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: He's been all over this stuff. 185 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: Okay, Corey, we've all seen, we've all been enjoying. I 186 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: know you've been enjoying the Trump administration declaring. 187 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: War on all this DEI madness. 188 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: But all the vile little apparatics educating our kids. Even 189 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: if they got the memo, that don't mean they're gonna 190 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: follow it. 191 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 192 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 5: This is a total narcissist here in the video mix Crystal. 193 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 5: I mean, it's a she, and she's inflicting her own 194 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 5: imagination onto the children. They could be using that time 195 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 5: to learn how to read, write, or do math, but 196 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 5: instead she's just she's just brainwashing the kids. And the 197 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 5: kids are just like, She's like, do you know what 198 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: mixed means? They're like no, you can hear them in 199 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: the response. But this is free advertising for homeschooling. Do 200 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: you want to send your kids to this individual where 201 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: they're not going to focus on the basics, They're going 202 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 5: to explore their fantasies with the young children. I mean, 203 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: look at her jumping around. She looks like she's just 204 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 5: so self absorbed. It's all about her. It's not about 205 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 5: the kids and learning how to read. And why is 206 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 5: she wearing a shirt that shows her belly. It's just 207 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: inappropriate as well for being in the classroom. By the way, 208 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 5: this is a Chicago public school teacher. They spend about 209 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 5: thirty thousand dollars per student per year. It's a government 210 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 5: run failure factory. Thirty three of their public schools have 211 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 5: zero percent math proficiency rates. They can't teach kids the basics, 212 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 5: but they go ahead and do this random crap that 213 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 5: parents don't want. And this is why parent Trump won 214 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 5: the parent vote by nine points and parents in this 215 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 5: district and elsewhere, if you see this kind of stuff, 216 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 5: you should report it to the Trump administration. He does 217 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 5: have a link out at the Department of Education website 218 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 5: where if they're not following the executive orders, he needs 219 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 5: to defund them with to take away their federal funding 220 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 5: if they're going to engage in politics as opposed to education. 221 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of the elsewhere, you just dropped right there. I 222 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: can almost see people rolling their eyes because of course, 223 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: in Chicago and the United States of America, we're used 224 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: to Chicago being kind of the lack of doodal left 225 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: wing epicenter of everything. 226 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: But this kind of stuff takes. 227 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: Place in Texas, Texas's House Democrats. 228 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 2: The chair here he. 229 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 13: Was, how do we tell people we're going to take 230 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 13: your money and give it to rich people so they 231 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 13: can send their kids to private school so they don't 232 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 13: have to have their kids with your kids. 233 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 5: That is the leader of the Texas House Democrats, Jean 234 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 5: wu And he says that families send their kids to 235 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 5: private school so that they don't have their kids with 236 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 5: your kids. He was talking at a public school there. Well, 237 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 5: guess what, he went to private school himself, and he 238 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: now currently sends his kids to private school. Is he 239 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 5: telling on himself? 240 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 2: It seems like that was just. 241 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 5: Pure projection on his part, trying to go all in 242 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 5: on hysterics against school choice for other people's families obviously, 243 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 5: but not for his own. He's a total hypocrite on 244 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 5: the issue. And Trump just tweeted out recently to. 245 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: Go all in on school choice. 246 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 5: He's calling on the Texas House to pass school choice 247 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 5: once and for all. Had already passed the Senate by 248 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 5: a vote by a vote of it nineteen to twelve. 249 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 5: I think the House has the votes to get it 250 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 5: across the finish line as well. The new Speaker, Dustin Burrows, 251 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 5: has responded to both Elon Musk and Trump recently on 252 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: social media, saying the House is going to pass the 253 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 5: bill this time as well. 254 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: How about that fingers crossed? 255 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on and spike the football a little 256 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: bit on. Somebody affectionately known on this show as communist 257 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: John Denver Randy Wingarten's taking things hard here. 258 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: She was. 259 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 10: What we're hearing is just complete chaos and frankly, a 260 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 10: whole bunch of cruelty, because at the end of the day, 261 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 10: you can make departments more efficient. 262 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 8: And I'm not a big believer in bureaucracy, but this 263 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 8: feels like, as Elon Muff said to you, of visceration. 264 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 8: So here's a guy who has hundreds of millions of 265 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 8: dollars of contracts from these departments and he's not touching them. 266 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 10: But what he's doing is. 267 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 8: Really taking money from kids who really need it in 268 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 8: the field. And these departments, yes, they can be much 269 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 8: more efficient, but that's what the Education Department does. It 270 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 8: gives out money to kids so you can feed them 271 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,239 Speaker 8: a decent lunch, so we can have, you know, tutors 272 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 8: for reading, so you can actually help kids with math problems. 273 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 8: That's what's going on right now. 274 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: Corey, is that what the Education Department does. 275 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 5: The Department of Education doesn't even run the federal lunch program. 276 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 5: She doesn't know what she's talking about. And she just 277 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 5: has a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome. Because the 278 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 5: bill in Congress right now would send the money back 279 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 5: to the states. The money doesn't just disappear, you just 280 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 5: stop paying her Lackeys in DC at the Department of Education, 281 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 5: there's forty four hundred employees pushing paper, not doing a 282 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 5: bunch of anything, making six figures. Randy herself makes over 283 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 5: five hundred thousand dollars a year, and she's previously sent 284 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 5: on MSNBC that the federal government shouldn't be running education, 285 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 5: that the locality should be running education. She accidentally made 286 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 5: the case for abolishing the Department of Education. And there's 287 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 5: a bill right now by Senator Mike Rounds in Congress, 288 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: he's the Republican from South Dakota, and that would literally 289 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 5: send the money back to the states using the Treasury 290 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 5: Department in the form of block grants and things like 291 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 5: cevil rights protections that would move under the Department of Justice, 292 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 5: where should be in the first place, and things like 293 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 5: pell grants would go into the Department of Treasury scholarships 294 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 5: for college. So it really isn't that monumental of a shift, 295 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: but the control would go back to the states. And 296 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 5: Trump ran on this issue. It's very popular with voters. 297 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 5: He also ran on nationwide school choice and this week 298 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 5: recently he's been tweeting out or posting on truth social 299 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 5: and different Red States to advance the ball forward to 300 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 5: pass school choice. That just happened in Tennessee, which became 301 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 5: the thirteenth state to go all in on school choice. 302 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 5: They're all red states that are doing this. By the way, 303 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 5: the Democrat controlled states are controlled by the teachers unions 304 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 5: like Randy Winingarten, and so even though the voters support 305 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 5: the policies in places like California and New York, the 306 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 5: unions have a stronghold and they're money laundering operation for 307 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,239 Speaker 5: the Democrat Party. All of their contributions from Randy Winegarden's 308 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 5: union goes to Democrats each year. It's ridiculous. 309 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Cory, I actually want to up up and talk 310 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: about that because that brings me to my final point here. 311 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: School choice is wonderful. 312 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: It very clearly has the momentum, really in large part 313 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: thanks to you. 314 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: I know, there's been a lot of people working on it. 315 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: You've been all over this. 316 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: But the blue states states like California, there are more 317 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: Republicans in California than any other state, you know, but 318 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: it's blue. It's run by the dirty Communists, and that's 319 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: not going. 320 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: To change tomorrow. 321 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: Are they without hope when it comes to all this 322 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: Are they just done? Is there nothing that can be 323 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: done for these people stuck in these blue states? 324 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 5: The quickest way to get school choice if you live 325 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 5: in a blue state is to move to a red state. 326 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 5: Moved to Florida, moved to Texas, but no more. Realistically, 327 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 5: if you want to stay in California, push for the 328 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 5: Educational Choice for Children Act. It's a bill in Congress. 329 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 5: It's a federal tax credit. It's not federal money. Following 330 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 5: the student you get to keep more of your own 331 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 5: dollars that don't go to the federal government in the 332 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 5: form of a tax credit to be used for education expenses. 333 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 5: This is supported by Donald Trump. He said he'd sign 334 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 5: the bill. It already passed side a committee and the 335 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 5: US House of Representatives, the speakers on board, Mike Johnson, 336 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 5: and also the Senate President John Thune, the majority leader 337 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 5: in the Senate, is also supportive of the legislation. So 338 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 5: Republicans have a trifecta. They need to use it pass 339 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 5: school choice to get it done. Trump campaigned on the issue. 340 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 5: Parents want it, and this would also not just advance 341 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 5: school choice in red states where it's already happening at 342 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 5: the state level, but also expand educational opportunities to families 343 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 5: in blue states. Otherwise, Hopefully, if the Democrats keep being 344 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 5: on the wrong side of history on this issue, those 345 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 5: blue states will become red states at some point, like 346 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 5: we saw with Terry mccauliff, the Virginia former governor who 347 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 5: lost to Glenn Youngkin on the issue of pntal rights 348 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 5: and education. So the more that Republicans keep hammering this issue, 349 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 5: they're going to win elections on the issue, and Democrats 350 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 5: that they're smart, they'll start to come along too. They'll 351 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 5: read the tea leaves and say, you know what, this 352 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 5: is a loser for us. We better side with the 353 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 5: kids union, the parents, not just the teacher union. 354 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: Who can forget Terry mcculluff giving up a seat, giving 355 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: up the governorship of Virginia by telling parents they shouldn't 356 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: be involved in their kids' education. 357 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 2: Thank you, Terry, that was masterful. Corey, thank you, brother. 358 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: I appreciate you. All Right, we'll be back. 359 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: I know you're going to be shocked to hear me 360 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: say this, because I'm an uneducated, white trash person, but 361 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: we actually really need an outstanding university system in our country. 362 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: It's really really critical to have a good institution, higher 363 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: education institution in the country. We haven't had one in 364 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: quite some time. There are some gems in there, though, 365 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can turn things around. Joining me now, 366 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: Nicholas Jardano, higher education fellow at Campus Reform and a 367 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: college professor in Emily's Sturge, she's a Campus Reform reporter. 368 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: She's also a student at the University of Florida, Nick 369 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: was professor. 370 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 2: Let's begin with you. The university system in the country 371 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: has always. 372 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: Been a little left. That's not exactly new. But it 373 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: wasn't always this bad. So what happened? 374 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 2: No, it wasn't always this bad. 375 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 11: When I went to college, I had Marxist professors, but 376 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 11: they actually supported the idea of education. They encouraged debate 377 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 11: and dialogue, and they loved have me in their class 378 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 11: to get into it because college used to be about 379 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 11: seeking out the truth, having this open discourse for intellectual inquiry. 380 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 11: Yet over the last twenty years it's turned more into 381 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 11: an indoctrination camp. If you go to these four year 382 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 11: university campuses, you're pushed with left wing propaganda and it's 383 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 11: designed to build out the next generation of activists as 384 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 11: opposed to educating the student body. We have, you know 385 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 11: the stats a campus reform that we pumped back, where 386 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 11: your thirty seven percent of graduating seniors can read, write, 387 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 11: and do math. At the college level, only one third 388 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 11: of college graduates can actually think critically. 389 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: And employers have had enough. 390 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 11: They've begun to move away from four year degree requirements 391 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 11: because they're not happy with the employees, the recent college 392 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 11: graduates that they're getting. 393 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: Emily, you are in the belly of the beast. Granted, 394 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: Florida is not Berkeley, but you're in the belly of 395 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: the beast. How much of an outsider are you now? 396 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: On campus? We all hear the horror stories. 397 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: About the token conservative who's corralled into a group of 398 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: ten people while everyone throws toilet paper at them. 399 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: What's it like for you? You know? 400 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 6: I can attest to this. I can attest to being 401 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 6: silenced in the classroom while I face professors who are 402 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 6: attempting to indoctrinate me with their leftist agenda. 403 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 12: And I don't buy it. 404 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 6: I stay true to my values, and I do receive 405 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 6: backlash from my peers. Being a conservative on a college 406 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 6: campus is essentially putting a target on your back, Whether 407 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 6: you're outspoken like myself, or you know, for people that 408 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 6: maybe aren't as outspoken. Even if you raise your hand 409 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 6: in the classroom and talk about conservative ideas in the classroom, 410 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 6: you are putting that target on your back, which is 411 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 6: why college students are so excited to see specifically conservative 412 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 6: college students are excited to see a presidential administration that 413 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 6: is making us proud to be conservative on a college campus. 414 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 6: We have a presidential administration in office that is restoring 415 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 6: values of meritocracy, that is rooting DEI out of the 416 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 6: federal government, that is restoring women's sports teams. All of 417 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 6: these initiatives are things that are really resonating with young 418 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 6: conservative students and making us proud to voice our beliefs 419 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 6: on our college campuses. 420 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Once again, Professor, it's very obvious that the culture has 421 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: shifted away, at least for the time being. Everything kind 422 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: of comes and goes. It's shifted away from this kooky 423 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: cultural Marxist garbage that we've been dealing with. Are you 424 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: seeing any kind of that kind of shift on college 425 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: campus among your dirty ecomedy colleagues or are they just 426 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: still was in trench now as they've always been. 427 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 11: Well, one of the things that I find interesting is 428 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 11: when we talk about values like a meritocracy, like upholding 429 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 11: the Constitution of the United States. To me, I find 430 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 11: it amazing how these are now labeled as conservative values, 431 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 11: where just you know, twenty years ago these were American values. 432 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 11: It wasn't right or left. It's amazing how far the 433 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 11: left has gone. And as far as my college goes, 434 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 11: we have a little bit of normalcy. It teach at 435 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,959 Speaker 11: a community college, and what that does is our student 436 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 11: body is reflective of real America. It's not the four 437 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 11: year university bubble, so the professors are a little bit 438 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 11: more in line. They obviously lean to the left. It's academia, 439 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 11: but it's more reflective of what real America is like. 440 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 11: The real problem stems on the four year university campus, 441 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 11: where you have everyone that conforms to this group think mentality, 442 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 11: and if you don't think like them, you're ostracized. Whether 443 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 11: you're a faculty member or you're a student, you're targeted. 444 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 11: And that's the problem. There's no respect for dissenting viewpoints. 445 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 11: They have no tolerance, even though they preach about this 446 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 11: phony idea of inclusion. 447 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: Emily, you're not just a student there You're obviously a 448 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: reporter for the wonderful campus Reform, So you talk to people, 449 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: you ask questions. Do you get the sense? I mean, 450 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: the poll numbers look great. It looks like young people, 451 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: young women, young men. It looks like they are waking 452 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: up a bit. I don't think they're all, you know, 453 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: Winston Churchill at this point in time, but they are 454 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: waking up a bit. 455 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: Are you seeing that at the University of Florida. 456 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'm talking to members of Generation Z every single day, 457 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 6: whether that's my friends, my peers, people on my college campus, 458 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 6: or even people on social media. I have a good 459 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 6: sense of what's going on in America's college campuses. And 460 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 6: even the Wall Street Journal has reported that there has 461 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 6: been upticks in conservative membership at organizations across the country. 462 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 6: At universities like Boston University and even at my own university, 463 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 6: I've seen this uptick and excitement about joining conservative clubs 464 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 6: on campus. We've also seen social media trends of gen 465 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 6: Zers wearing their MAGA hats, flying their American flags. It's 466 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 6: very clear that college students are excited to welcome this 467 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 6: administration back into office, and even in things like the 468 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 6: tech sector, We've seen young people excited about conservative values. 469 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 6: We've seen Elon Musk is Musk's doge eighteen to twenty 470 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 6: four year old engineers excited to help the federal government 471 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 6: root out waste, fraud and abuse. So it seems like 472 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 6: in so many sectors, so many areas of this country, 473 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 6: young people are experiencing this revival and conservative values. 474 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice. 475 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: We're even getting the nerds now, it was awesome, Professor endowments. 476 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the money, because it seems to be 477 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: without end Like you mentioned, corporations are moving away from 478 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: the degree requirement because they're getting a bunch of morons 479 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: who have college degrees. 480 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: But the University of Harvard, Harvard. 481 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Doesn't have to one hundred billion dollars that have unlimited 482 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: amounts of money that it doesn't matter if the tuition 483 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: gets too much, it doesn't matter. They appear to be 484 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: untouchable with these endowments. How do we even begin to 485 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: tackle that? Or you tax them, that's one way you 486 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: could deal with it. 487 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 11: But college is a business and you have to get 488 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 11: students in the classroom and fill seats in order for 489 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 11: the business to succeed. 490 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: When I started at campus, form. 491 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 11: The very first article I wrote is how there is 492 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 11: a reckoning coming to the higher education system. You have 493 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 11: parents and students that have lost faith in the higher 494 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 11: education system. Only one third have confidence in it. You 495 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 11: have the employers that have walked away, and you have 496 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 11: the donor class that has pulled their funding after they 497 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 11: saw the pro hamas pro terrorist protests that were on 498 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 11: golfing college campuses. And so colleges have to make a decision. 499 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 11: They either have to reform and get back to the 500 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 11: core principle of education and actually produce students that are 501 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 11: going to graduate and can contribute to our society, that 502 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 11: are going to exercise good citizenry, that understand the concepts 503 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 11: of hard work and merit, or theyre going to continue 504 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 11: to push a far left agenda that people don't want, 505 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 11: that people have overwhelmingly rejected, including professors on the left 506 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 11: who have actually been targeted by the DEI mobs. And 507 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 11: they're going to stay with the ideological indoctrination camps and 508 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 11: they're going to go out of business, okay, And that's 509 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 11: we're going to see a lot of colleges close their 510 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 11: doors in the next five years. And then you have 511 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 11: the demographic that's changing. There are less students, so it's 512 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 11: going to be a more competitive environment to fill those 513 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 11: seats at college campuses. So if they don't get back 514 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 11: to the roots of education, many of them are going 515 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 11: to have to shut of their doors. And endowments can 516 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 11: only keep you in business for so long. 517 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, speaking of failure, Emily, you want to 518 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: talk about the University of Florida's football team or no, 519 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: I'll pass. 520 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: All right, both of you. I appreciate you very much. 521 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 2: Come back soon. We'll be back. 522 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 3: Well. 523 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: Education is one of those things that always brings up 524 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: debates like public school, private school, whatnot. But we do 525 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: lose sight of how much of an education our children 526 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: need at home. Homeschooling, if you are able to do so, is, 527 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: in general, in my opinion, the best option. But even 528 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: if you don't homeschool, you have to educate your children 529 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: at home. Yes, my children they go to school, they 530 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: learn math and things like that, and they're not going 531 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: to get any algebra from me. But the best lessons 532 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: in life are learned at home. We have to be 533 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: educators at home no matter who we are. So I 534 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: thought Abby Roth would be the first person, probably the 535 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: best person I could think of to talk about this 536 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Creator of the first generations own mom abbey, 537 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: Which school could educate your children as. 538 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 2: Well as you can? 539 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 14: Not one? Honestly, I don't think there's any school out there. 540 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: That could do as good of a job as I 541 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: could do. 542 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 14: And that is not just coming from somebody who you know, 543 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 14: has prepared myself mentally. I think that a lot of people, 544 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 14: a lot of women, a lot of parents, have been 545 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 14: convinced that they would not be able to educate their 546 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 14: children at home. They're just not capable. How could anyone 547 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 14: do this huge undertaking of raising their kids at home 548 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 14: and homeschooling, And it's such a disservice to us as parents. 549 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 14: We really do have the capability to teach our own children. 550 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 14: That's what people were doing for generations before public school 551 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 14: became the thing. And it's so disappointing to look at 552 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 14: my friends, to look at everyone I know who thinks 553 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 14: that homeschooling is weird, and then for me to look 554 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 14: at my own children and be like, oh, my two 555 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 14: and a half year old expressed an interest in the moon, 556 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 14: and now he knows literally everything there is to know 557 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 14: about space, ships and space shuttles, and it's just because 558 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 14: he expressed an interest. I thought that was really cool. 559 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 14: I took him to the library, we watched some videos, 560 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 14: we talked about it, and all of a sudden, he's 561 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 14: an expert. I'm an expert something I never gave a 562 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 14: crap about before my son was interested. Excuse my languid, 563 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 14: but before my son cared about space, you could not 564 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 14: have paid me to care about space. And then because 565 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 14: my son was interested, all of a sudden, I'm like, 566 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 14: this is the coolest thing ever. Because if my kid 567 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 14: is interested, then so am I, and we can learn 568 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 14: together as a team. 569 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: Abby, Please tell me you have discovered If not, you're 570 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna get on Amazon reticins. 571 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: We're done talking here. Please tell me you have. 572 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: Discovered the greatness of the glowing planet in star ecosystem kits. 573 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: You have, because I had a kid who was obsessed 574 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: with the same thing, and when you turn out his 575 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: lights in his room at night, we. 576 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 2: Set up it took a while to do it, but 577 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: of course he was involved in it. 578 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: We had like the ecosystem on the walls in the ceiling. 579 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: It would sick and he would just sit there and 580 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: point everything out. I'm telling you need to nerd out 581 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: on that if you haven't already. 582 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, sounds like I should. 583 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: All right, Now back to what we were just discussing, 584 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: us separate of this. Young moms hear you say that, 585 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: because it's generally going to be the mom doing the homeschooling. Understandably, 586 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: young moms hear you say that, and they'll immediately think, well, 587 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure Abby is you know some kind of has 588 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: some genius education. 589 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: I'm not what she is. I didn't even go to college. 590 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: I can't even do algebra. I can't. 591 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: And these are very understandable fears because mothers what fathers do. 592 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: They don't want to fail their children. They don't want 593 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: to set their children back. So that every mother out 594 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: there watching you on television right now saying well, yeah, 595 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: she's smart and qualified, I'm an idiot. Will you please 596 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: talk to that woman. 597 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 14: Yes, I am not more qualified than you are. I 598 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 14: don't have a degree in education. I don't think anyone 599 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 14: needs a degree in edgecation. And also, I will tell 600 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 14: you that most teachers in public schools do not have 601 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 14: degrees in education. When you are home with your kids, 602 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 14: it's homeschooling. There's a ton of books on this topic. 603 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 14: I am currently reading a book called Kids Don't Need 604 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 14: School that specifically talks about this. But even going back 605 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 14: to the book Weapons of Mass Instruction, that book teaches 606 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 14: you what schools are actually doing, and what schools are 607 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 14: actually doing is using the Prussian model of education. Now, 608 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 14: the Prussian model of education was really about getting little 609 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 14: kids and getting you know, educating people to be compliant. 610 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 14: That was the point was we want you to be 611 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 14: little kind of robots working for the government, and we 612 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 14: don't want you to ask any questions. We want you 613 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 14: to memorize, take tests, sit in your seat. And we 614 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 14: still do this today, right, we're still using this model 615 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 14: of education now to teach our children, and we think 616 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 14: that that's normal, that it's normal for kids to take tests, 617 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 14: that it's important for kids to be tested and to 618 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 14: study and to sit for hours on end, when there 619 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 14: are studies and studies and studies showing that little kids, 620 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 14: especially little boys, cannot sit for that long and are 621 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 14: then diagnosed with ADHD because they can't sit for an 622 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 14: inordinate amount of time. But this Prussian model of education 623 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 14: really does a disservice to students, to children. It teaches 624 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 14: them how to sit. It teaches them how to memorize, 625 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 14: It teaches them how to listen to instructions and not 626 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 14: ask questions. And what people say is, oh, we're preparing 627 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 14: them for the workforce. Well, there's a reason that people 628 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 14: are afraid to become entrepreneurial because they don't have the 629 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 14: skill set to work outside of a system. So the 630 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 14: reason I bring all this up is because you don't 631 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 14: have to educate your children in the Prussian model. You 632 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 14: can educate your children to love learning. And to do that, 633 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 14: all you have to do is follow your children's interests. 634 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 14: If you follow your children to interest, they will end 635 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 14: up learning far more than they ever would in school. 636 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 14: There is so much for them to explore. 637 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 5: For you to help them explore. 638 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 14: And on top of that, there are so many resources. 639 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 14: There are homeschooling co ops, there are there's conventions in 640 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 14: almost every state, maybe every state for homeschooling parents, where 641 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 14: you can make connections, where you can find curriculums. And 642 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 14: if you're not the one who can teach your child algebra, 643 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 14: there's someone who will be happy to tutor your child. 644 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 14: I mean, there are so many avenues to homeschooling your 645 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 14: children and taking responsibility not just for your kid's education, 646 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 14: but for who they are. And that for me, is 647 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 14: so important is that homeschooling isn't just about teaching your 648 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 14: child how to love learning and teaching your child certain topics. 649 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 14: It's also that you're home with them all the time, 650 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 14: so you get to shepherd them and make them the 651 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 14: kind of person that you hope they will be. 652 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: Your seven year old boy, it can't sit still. And 653 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: it's not because he has ADHD. It's because he's a 654 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: seven year old boy. That's why you can't sit still. Okay, 655 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: so let's talk about making friends. This is another very 656 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: big concern, one of those traditional things about traditional concerns 657 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: about homeschooling. Well, I don't want my kid to be 658 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: a weird Oh. I don't want him to be some 659 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: freak without any friends. He wants to play sports, he's 660 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: a basketball player. 661 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: He won't be able to do that. We talk to 662 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 2: those people, please. 663 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 5: Yes. 664 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 14: Socialization is the stupidest argument against homeschooling. It drives me 665 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 14: crazy for a number of reasons. One, the socialization that 666 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 14: happens in schools is entirely unnatural because we separate children 667 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 14: not just by age range, but by specific age. In 668 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 14: no other time in history have we said the only 669 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 14: friends you're allowed to have are eight years old. You're 670 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 14: eight now you can only be friends with eight year olds. 671 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 14: That is insane. Real socialization is spending time with people 672 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 14: who are older than you and younger than you, spending 673 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 14: time with adults, spending time with babies, spending time with 674 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 14: people who are different from you and in different stages 675 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 14: of life than you are. And so the socialization that 676 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 14: we think is normal is not. Also what is socialized 677 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 14: even mean? What is weird even mean? When we look 678 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 14: at public schools, do we think that the children that 679 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 14: are coming out of public schools are normal? Especially today's 680 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 14: day and age, when public schools are pushing all of 681 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 14: these crazy ideologies on kids. You look at the kids 682 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 14: who are coming out and they're struggling with their sexuality, 683 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 14: their identity, who they are, what they want. I wouldn't 684 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 14: call that normal, and their screen addicted. When you have 685 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 14: children at home, they're able to socialize a because of 686 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 14: the things like I mentioned co ops. Even just going 687 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 14: out in the world. If I take my kids to 688 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 14: the grocery store, they're meeting everybody there. 689 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 2: They want to say hi. 690 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 14: They want to meet the person who's checking them out. 691 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 2: I mean that's socialization in and of itself. 692 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 14: But they also have a ton of friends just from 693 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 14: the different Mommi groups we go to and the library 694 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 14: and for us, and a huge thing I think is 695 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 14: so important is our religious community. I think a lot 696 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 14: of homeschooling moms spend time in their religious communities. And 697 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 14: for us, even if we didn't see anybody all week, 698 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 14: which doesn't happen frequently, we have a lot of play dates, 699 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 14: but if we didn't see anyone all week, on Saturday, 700 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 14: for us, because we're Jewish, we spend all day with 701 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 14: our community. So my kids are incredibly connected with people 702 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 14: from all different age ranges at our synagogue, and that's 703 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 14: a huge blessing. I would never say that a child 704 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 14: at home is going to be less socialized, because unless 705 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 14: you are literally keeping them closed in at home, you 706 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 14: are going to have a chance for your child to 707 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 14: meet other people and spend time with other kids their age, including, 708 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 14: by the way, their siblings, who they spend far less 709 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 14: time with when they are You might hear my children 710 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 14: right now when they are at school than when they 711 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 14: are home. Because I think about this all the time, 712 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 14: that my kids spend all day together, learn how to 713 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 14: function together. And when they are separated and when they 714 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 14: are at other you know, in daycare, in schools, whatever 715 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 14: it is, they see each other maybe a couple. 716 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: Of hours a day. 717 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: Oh, one final question. Then you have to go find 718 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: out what those kids are breaking. In the background, American 719 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: parents are watching this and they want to know what's 720 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: step one? 721 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 2: How do I get started? I'm a nervous far and abby. 722 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what step? Where do I go? Is 723 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 2: it website? Is it a book? What do I do? 724 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: What do I go to? 725 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 14: I mean I think the first step. Yes, there are 726 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 14: books that you can read, just to educate yourself on 727 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 14: different schooling methods. I mean, there's a lot of different 728 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,280 Speaker 14: methods out there. There's classical education, there's kind of unschooling, 729 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 14: there's Montessori. There's all these different kinds of methods out there. 730 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 14: But the first thing I always say is just follow 731 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 14: your child's interest. Just see what is your child interested in. Really, 732 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 14: the thing that changed my mind is I had a 733 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 14: friend who was telling me about how she was in 734 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 14: school and hated learning, and her mother just said, you 735 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 14: know what we're done. I'm taking you out of school, 736 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 14: you need to learn how to love learning again. And 737 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 14: if that's your kid, and if you're looking at your 738 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 14: kid and you're saying, this kid hates to read that, 739 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 14: this kid hates going to school every day, you need 740 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 14: to ask yourself, do you want to see your child 741 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 14: hate learning by the time they're fifteen? Do you want 742 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 14: to see your child be so disinterested in taking in 743 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 14: new information and doing something exciting with their time, which 744 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 14: I think is learning new ideas, Then it's maybe something 745 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 14: to consider, like, maybe I should take my child home, 746 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 14: Maybe I should take my child into homeschooling and we 747 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 14: can explore a new avenue here, because it is so 748 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 14: disappointing to see the light go out of children's eyes 749 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 14: when it comes to new concepts, new things that they've 750 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 14: never talked, never learned about. I mean, a toddler is 751 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 14: never going to be bored if they're being exposed to 752 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 14: new ideas, So why does that have to ever fade? 753 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 14: And if we see it fading because of school, then 754 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 14: it might be a good idea to take them out 755 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 14: and bring them home. 756 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 2: Might be a really good idea. 757 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: And I promise at home no one will teach them. 758 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: They have to be gay abby. Thank you, ma'am. I 759 00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: appreciate you as always. All right, we'll be back. Just 760 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: be vigilant. You know, when we talk about this stuff 761 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: in education and that things happening, it can be overwhelming. 762 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 2: What can I do? I'm nervous. 763 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: Talk to your child, show up at school board meetings, 764 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: run for school board, be involved, homeschool if you can, 765 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 1: If you can get him out of government schools, get 766 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: them out. If you can't work around that, we just 767 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: have to be aware, and we are more aware now. 768 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I wrap up this show 769 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: by driving that point home. We are doing good things 770 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: in ways I have never seen on the right before. 771 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: For the longest time, we were lost, completely lost when 772 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: it comes to the education system, what was happening inside 773 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: of it and why it was happening. In large part 774 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: thanks to COVID, we are more awake down than we 775 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: have ever been. So feel good about the direction we're going. 776 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 1: But we cannot slow down. We can't tire, we can't 777 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: back off, we can't get comfortable. Because Trump won the election, 778 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: we have a million battles to fight around this country. 779 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: At the local level, there is nothing more important than 780 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: the schools, the Communists understood that one hundred years ago. 781 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 2: We must understand it today. We'll do it again.
