Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty Enough he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty Harris focused on shoring up the key
Speaker 3: constituency black men.
Speaker 4: Harris announced a new plan aimed at winning them over,
Speaker 4: including one million forgivable small business loans, a focus on
Speaker 4: health issues that disproportionately affect black men, and legalizing recreational
Speaker 4: marijuana to boost the industry and create new jobs.
Speaker 5: That's something. So that's the CBS version of that story.
Speaker 5: I want to hear the Fox version of the same story.
Speaker 2: Politico calls it the Black Men Blitz.
Speaker 6: Vice President Harris making a hard pitch in the home
Speaker 6: stretch to a demographic that she is surprisingly struggling with.
Speaker 6: She unveiled her Opportunity Agenda for Black men yesterday, starting
Speaker 6: with twenty thousand dollars in forgivable government loans for one
Speaker 6: million minorities to start businesses, as well as education, training
Speaker 6: and mentorship programs, creating a framework for cryptocurrency, launching health initiatives,
Speaker 6: and legalizing marijuana.
Speaker 5: I feel like the whole marijuana angle would be called racist.
Speaker 2: If you or anybody else.
Speaker 7: Unconstitutional government grants masquerading as loans but only for one race,
Speaker 7: and pot smoking.
Speaker 5: That's the big pitch for black men. Oh yeah, and
Speaker 5: has been pointed out by many people. Usually you're gonna
Speaker 5: lose if in the final weeks of a campaign you're
Speaker 5: spending your time trying to shore up the people you
Speaker 5: should be able to guaranteed count on.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: I mean, like if Trump was out trying to clawback
Speaker 5: working class, high school graduate white men.
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, blue collar folks who think the country's too progressive.
Speaker 7: He's desperately trying to claw them back. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 7: sign of trouble.
Speaker 5: So on that topic, before we get to the interview portion,
Speaker 5: here's a New York Times Siena College poll that's one
Speaker 5: of the most respected poles in America. Top issues among
Speaker 5: black men fifth on the list at four percent. Abortion,
Speaker 5: So you can give all your speeches about abortion. Black
Speaker 5: men don't give a crap. They either don't care about
Speaker 5: the issue or they don't like your take on it.
Speaker 5: Immigration's very low candidate character single digits. Also, they don't
Speaker 5: give a crap about the whole saving their democracy number one,
Speaker 5: like with everyone else, the economy number two inflation.
Speaker 2: Why those aren't added together, I don't know, same thing, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you add those two together economy inflation, and you
Speaker 5: got what forty two percent?
Speaker 7: So and black men aren't down with Kamala because they're sexist.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we haven't even played the Barack Obama stuffy.
Speaker 7: You know, I've got some great stuff on that. Let's
Speaker 7: go ahead, Michael's thirty eight, if you would.
Speaker 1: Part of it makes me think that, well, you just
Speaker 1: aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president,
Speaker 1: and you're coming up with other alternatives and other.
Speaker 4: Reasons for it.
Speaker 8: So now you're thinking about sitting out or even supporting
Speaker 8: somebody who has.
Speaker 1: A history of denigrating you because you think that's a
Speaker 1: side of psyche, because that's one being a mandas put it.
Speaker 3: Women, Now.
Speaker 8: That's not exciting.
Speaker 2: When has ju denigrated black men?
Speaker 7: You got to go back to a couple of lawsuits
Speaker 7: and incidents in like the eighties that allegedly were born
Speaker 7: of racism. But it's the politics of contempt that I'm
Speaker 7: hearing there. Barack Obama is so incredibly high handed. To
Speaker 7: quote Gerard Baker in the Wall Street Journal, are you
Speaker 7: considering a vote for Donald Trump because you're bad or
Speaker 7: because you're stupid. That's that's the question the Democratic Party
Speaker 7: wants to put to wavering voters in the final few
Speaker 7: weeks of the campaign. The closing argument, they think will
Speaker 7: convince people to choose Kamala Harrison Stead, including black men,
Speaker 7: which he gets into later. But are you an immorral,
Speaker 7: bigoted person one of those notoriously misogynistic black men who
Speaker 7: can't stand up any women. Are a white racist who
Speaker 7: hates foreigners? Or are you a dupe easily misled by misinformation?
Speaker 7: Maybe you're both. Whatever. You may not be good or
Speaker 7: wise enough to understand, but you must listen to us.
Speaker 7: You're moral and intellectual superiors and do as you're told.
Speaker 7: You'll thank us later.
Speaker 5: So I have generally thought Barack Obama is brilliant at politics,
Speaker 5: oftentimes winning things. I really wish he didn't win because
Speaker 5: I hated the policy so much. But man, that was awful.
Speaker 5: How did he think that was gonna land? I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't actually know how it landed, because I'm not
Speaker 5: a young black man who was thinking about voting for Trump.
Speaker 5: But man, anybody telling me, oh, you think you're a
Speaker 5: man because of this? F you dude, I mean that
Speaker 5: that whole thing doesn't work.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So anyway Obama said, Obama said what he said
Speaker 7: in Baker responds, got that black men could support mister
Speaker 7: Trump only because they like putting women down. Can you
Speaker 7: imagine what mister Obama would call a conservative who made
Speaker 7: such an invidious generalization?
Speaker 2: No self used the word invidious more often. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's stunningly condescending.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 5: And you just heard the New York Times poll. The
Speaker 5: top issues for black men the economy and inflation. I
Speaker 5: don't see anywhere it being a man as president or
Speaker 5: any of the things that Barack Obama's claiming.
Speaker 7: Keeping the bacas down come on. That is so insulting.
Speaker 2: It is it really is.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 7: Trump is working hard to capitalize on that sort of thing,
Speaker 7: is he? Is he talking about the Obama quote? I
Speaker 7: know he's really trying to woo more working classmen of
Speaker 7: every color because you know, ye hispanic dudes, you black dudes,
Speaker 7: you white dudes, you got the same concerns. Dividing you
Speaker 7: by race is only to consolidate their power.
Speaker 5: Don't let them do that. Don't let them put you
Speaker 5: in a pen. I probably shouldn't be doing this at
Speaker 5: all as a white guy. But I feel like, if
Speaker 5: you haven't seen the video, there's something about the way
Speaker 5: Barack Obama's They're sitting and he's standing. So it's just
Speaker 5: got such a dad talking to his kid's view to it,
Speaker 5: and he's just got such a you know, Harvard professor
Speaker 5: vibe to him now lecturing people about what they ought
Speaker 5: to feel and think. I just can't imagine that that
Speaker 5: landed well. Some of you may remember.
Speaker 7: My greatest probably problem with Barack Obama, other than that
Speaker 7: he's a socialist, is that he's an academic. He sees
Speaker 7: the world as an academic sees it. He thinks, if
Speaker 7: he writes it on the talkboard and then strings together
Speaker 7: several eloquent sentences about it, the Muslims, for instance, will
Speaker 7: embrace the Jews and everything will be fine because he
Speaker 7: is so eloquent and persuasive. Just, oh god, he's so pretentious. Anyway,
Speaker 7: this is unpretentious. Kamala Harris is stupid, or is it?
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I think I've misquoted the great man. Kamala
Speaker 7: Harris is an idiot, according to Charles C. W.
Speaker 2: Cook, and he.
Speaker 7: Explains that over the last couple of years. Is familiarity
Speaker 7: is bread contempt, and contempt his bread exasperation. I got
Speaker 7: into the habit of distilling into customarily blunt terms what
Speaker 7: I think of our most prominent political aspirance. My modest
Speaker 7: verdict on the incumbent Joe President President Joe Biden was
Speaker 7: that he was an a hole.
Speaker 5: Joe Biden is an a hole. That's Charlie Cook's take on.
Speaker 5: Charlie Cook's not a Trump fan either.
Speaker 7: My considered take on his presidente sessor, Donald Trump was
Speaker 7: that he is a lunatic herewith to complete the trilogy
Speaker 7: known to self use the term here with more often.
Speaker 2: I will love earn another candidate.
Speaker 7: Take Kamala Harris is an idiot, like the little boy
Speaker 7: staring at the naked emperor in the famous fairy Tale
Speaker 7: of Yore. I can scarcely believe what I'm seeing before
Speaker 7: my eyes. Since she replaced Joe Biden on the ticket,
Speaker 7: reporters have struggled mightily to find kind ways of describing
Speaker 7: Harris is ineluctable. Good Lord, does he have a vocabulary
Speaker 7: inability to convey anything comprehensible, complex or concrete?
Speaker 2: And this is great?
Speaker 7: Harris The New York times, is variously proposed, has been
Speaker 7: quote strategically vague or quote light on detail, and quote careful. Alternately,
Speaker 7: she is quote put her stamp on the art of
Speaker 7: the dodge, learn to respond quote to unpleasant questions without
Speaker 7: answering them, and shown an ability to quote avoid delineating
Speaker 7: her stance on some issues.
Speaker 5: Avoided delineating her stance, I'd say.
Speaker 7: And yet if one were to search for a single
Speaker 7: word to sum up her candidacyy that word apparently would
Speaker 7: be joy I disagree.
Speaker 2: I think that the word would be idiot.
Speaker 7: Harris isn't vague or careful or disinclined to delineate her stance.
Speaker 7: She's wildly, catastrophically, incontestably out of her depth. She's not light,
Speaker 7: she's dull. She's not a dodger. She's a fool. She's
Speaker 7: not joyful. She's imbecilic. She's a nullity of vacuum, an
Speaker 7: actress and empty canvas that is incapable of absorbing paint.
Speaker 7: Search through Harris's historical press clippings, you will be astonished
Speaker 7: by the vastness of space. For in more than two
Speaker 7: decades of analyze, analysis, and reporting, Harris has not once
Speaker 7: been credited with a single valuable or original idea that
Speaker 7: is a true fact. What you see on TV is
Speaker 7: what you get in private, a broken battery operated toy
Speaker 7: that can't talk, that can't argue, that can't laugh in
Speaker 7: the right places, and that badly malfunctions if expected to
Speaker 7: transcend the superficial. Asked by Stephanie Rule, what would happen
Speaker 7: to her plan to raise corporate taxes and make billionaires
Speaker 7: in top corporations pay their fair share?
Speaker 2: That's all quote if the GOP takes control.
Speaker 7: Of Senate, Harris seemed unable to process the concept. But
Speaker 7: we're going to have to raise corporate taxes, she replied,
Speaker 7: And we're going to have de raise. We're going to
Speaker 7: have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires
Speaker 7: pay their fair share.
Speaker 2: That's just it.
Speaker 5: Well, that is going to come to a screeching halt tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I think as she's doing an interview with Brett Bhaer
Speaker 5: on Fox, I assume out of desperation. I gotta believe
Speaker 5: if they thought going on Fox and doing an interview
Speaker 5: is a good idea, they would have done it earlier.
Speaker 5: I think it's because they're tied Slash losing, and you know,
Speaker 5: if you're losing three weeks out, you got to do
Speaker 5: something to change a narrative. Here's what James Carvell says.
Speaker 5: The problem is with her doing an interview.
Speaker 4: I'm not a.
Speaker 2: Fan of doing interviews with different people because the problem
Speaker 2: to interview is you have to answer the question that
Speaker 2: the interviewer asks you.
Speaker 5: And that's going to be different than having Stephanie Rule
Speaker 5: on MSNBC ask you questions, or Howard Stern or any
Speaker 5: of the other fawning people who have already stated that
Speaker 5: their only goal is to make sure Trump loses.
Speaker 2: Right, Brett Baar is a very fair.
Speaker 5: Journalist, but he's going to ask the questions you've been
Speaker 5: wanting asked, and then he's going to follow up if
Speaker 5: she doesn't answer them, and they're not going to edit
Speaker 5: out her answers.
Speaker 2: That's just a fact.
Speaker 5: And also I don't this is not confirmed yet, but
Speaker 5: the rumor is is she going to go on Joe
Speaker 5: Rogan next week to try to reach young men.
Speaker 7: I like to attach a level of certainty to my opinions.
Speaker 7: Sometimes I have no confidence confidence whatsoever in answering the question.
Speaker 7: Why is she going on Brett Behar I guess it's
Speaker 7: to woo the never Trump Republican crowd over to her side.
Speaker 5: If she can get them, that has to be it.
Speaker 5: She's terrible, though, it's going to go very poorly. That's
Speaker 5: a decent question. Uh why is she going on Brett Bear?
Speaker 5: Because they must feel like too much of the country
Speaker 5: feels like she hasn't done a tough interview yet, even
Speaker 5: after sixty minutes.
Speaker 2: And their friendly media blitz failed.
Speaker 5: So they must have some polling or belief that a
Speaker 5: big chunk of undecided voters thinks she hasn't done a
Speaker 5: real interview yet.
Speaker 2: That's got to be it, right, I guess which is
Speaker 2: pulling to that? Which is fairly accurate? Boy, is she
Speaker 2: rolling the dice?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: I'd say I think the chance of her coming out
Speaker 5: of this unscathed are zero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. As an idiot has.
Speaker 5: Previously discussed, numb nut any any thoughts text line four
Speaker 5: one five two nine five k FTC.
Speaker 7: In Brazil, a video has gone viral of a monkey
Speaker 7: drinking beer. Beer drinking monkey is so popular he's been
Speaker 7: immortalized in the new children's book We're Worried About You George.
Speaker 5: Wow, we've gathered all your monkey friends to talk to
Speaker 5: you about.
Speaker 2: Something, Jim Chim, would you like to begin? Wow?
Speaker 7: Do you know who David Berg is? Or is it Burge?
Speaker 7: I don't actually know, he writes the Iowa Hawk blog.
Speaker 7: He is a brilliant and hilarious commentator, and he's posted
Speaker 7: this video that appears to be of Russell brand End,
Speaker 7: the actor comedian long Hair who's remade himself as a
Speaker 7: right wing Christian influencer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's way out there.
Speaker 7: He's now selling a magic amulet that protects you from
Speaker 7: Wi Fi signals and other evil energies only two hundred
Speaker 7: and thirty nine dollars in ninety nine cents per amulet.
Speaker 5: Oh boy, what I need to know what that looks like?
Speaker 5: So if I see one wearing them, I know what
Speaker 5: I'm dealing with.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not a real close up there. It's on
Speaker 7: that video, but I don't I think it's it's one
Speaker 7: of those many things he wears around his neck. But anyway,
Speaker 7: David Berg's comment is we truly live in a golden
Speaker 7: age for rape e con artists. It used to be
Speaker 7: that you began your career as a Christian snake oil
Speaker 7: salesman until rape accusations ended it. Now the system is
Speaker 7: to wait until the rape accusations come out. Then you
Speaker 7: begin your career as a Christian quote quote unquote snake
Speaker 7: oil salesman. We truly live in a golden age for
Speaker 7: rape e con artists allegedly allegedly rape.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: Okay, I didn't want to say another thing about the election,
Speaker 5: but I just came across this.
Speaker 2: Can't stop himself, folks.
Speaker 5: So Trump is doing a Bloomberg interview today. I don't
Speaker 5: know why Mark Alpern and his newsletter considers that a
Speaker 5: big deal. They're pretty left. He's done a lot. Practically
Speaker 5: every interview he does is somebody left me.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, yeah. The whole media is so anyway.
Speaker 2: This is what Halpern wrote in his newsletter today.
Speaker 5: Here's my spidery sense view from Trump's interview with Bloomberg
Speaker 5: today to Harris's appearance on Fox News tomorrow. By sundown
Speaker 5: Wednesday night, we are going to know who will win
Speaker 5: the election.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, wow.
Speaker 5: I gotta believe that's mostly based on Kamala's like if
Speaker 5: she like, if she clears the bar, she won't. If
Speaker 5: she clears the bar, she won't. I can't stop saying
Speaker 5: she won't. If she clears the bar and Trump really fails,
Speaker 5: she won't, Well, Trump will be Trump. Well exactly what
Speaker 5: would him failing in an interview?
Speaker 2: Look like?
Speaker 7: He might ramble some or promise of policy that won't happen,
Speaker 7: or or start talking about how she's not really black
Speaker 7: like he did with that one women's group or whatever
Speaker 7: I want, right, But he always survives those things, right anyway?
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think it's all about Kamala's interview. I
Speaker 7: think it is too with Bratt. Oh, I feel like
Speaker 7: somebody told me, Hey, there's going to be a car
Speaker 7: wreck right here in five minutes, and I'm just full
Speaker 7: of excitement and foreboding.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see a car wreck.
Speaker 5: I stop and look at them like everybody else, but
Speaker 5: I don't want to see it happen.
Speaker 7: Oh, so you would leave, You wouldn't stand there and think, wow,
Speaker 7: this is crazy.
Speaker 2: I think I would leave. This is going to be
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 2: A train wreck?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: What a train wreck? Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 9: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin nettan Yah, who told President Biden
Speaker 9: in a phone call that Israel will strike Iranian military
Speaker 9: sites instead of oil or nuclear locations. That information signals
Speaker 9: net and Yah who might be willing to avoid a
Speaker 9: greater escalation with Iran, at least for now, and he's
Speaker 9: aware that any type of strike against Iran could actually
Speaker 9: impact our US election. Net and Yahoo reportedly saying, we
Speaker 9: will listen to the opinions of the United States, but
Speaker 9: we will make our final decisions based on our national interest.
Speaker 2: So that was yesterday and the story is today.
Speaker 5: It's going to happen in the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 5: definitely before the election, so we'll keep our eye on that.
Speaker 7: I'll bit BB on a daily basis, asks his advisors,
Speaker 7: remind me when the Spineless Mummy leaves office again. On
Speaker 7: a totally different topic, much closer to home.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 7: I've wanted to bring this up for a while, the
Speaker 7: real crisis in America's government schools, and I don't want
Speaker 7: to be the cliched everything is going to hell all
Speaker 7: the time person like me. That's what I am, because
Speaker 7: that's my brand, because we already have one of them. No,
Speaker 7: but I was thinking about it, and it goes back
Speaker 7: to our discussion of the natural state of things is
Speaker 7: chaos and poverty and violence, and if you have a civilization.
Speaker 7: The challenge of preserving that civilization never ends and everything
Speaker 7: isn't necessarily going to hell, but everything will go to
Speaker 7: hell if you don't stop it.
Speaker 2: Going to hell needs to be maintained.
Speaker 7: Yes, in short, so, anyway, I think one of the things,
Speaker 7: in another principle, before we get into specific said, you've
Speaker 7: quoted George will As saying one of the essential elements
Speaker 7: of being a conservative is you have to deal with reality,
Speaker 7: recognize what is right. You can't be a utopian, unicorn
Speaker 7: riding wisher of fond wishes and call yourself a conservative.
Speaker 2: It's just it doesn't fit.
Speaker 7: So anyway, I think we have an enormous crisis with
Speaker 7: America's government schools right now. I don't think there's any
Speaker 7: doubt of that. I think it would be a four
Speaker 7: alarm panic going on in America right now if it
Speaker 7: were not for two things. Number One, a lot of
Speaker 7: parents think schools are still what they went to, what
Speaker 7: they grew up with, and the distraction of the golden
Speaker 7: Bachelor and the golden Bachelor. And there are three things
Speaker 7: now that I think about it, and the other one
Speaker 7: is that there are some schools. It's actually four things,
Speaker 7: including the Golden Bachelor. There are some schools that are
Speaker 7: still doing a good job. They're fighting hard, they're in
Speaker 7: conservative areas, the teachers and administrators are not fully woke,
Speaker 7: so people think our schools seem to be fine, and
Speaker 7: maybe they are. But the fourth thing, obviously, is that
Speaker 7: the dominant media do not talk about this much at
Speaker 7: all because it's extremely uncomfortable for them because they are progressive,
Speaker 7: they are woke, they are pro union, and.
Speaker 5: The heavyweights have their kids in private schools, so they
Speaker 5: wouldn't know anyway.
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
Speaker 7: That is a good point in the middleweights too, anyway.
Speaker 7: So a couple of exhibits in the prosecution of America's
Speaker 7: government schools. One that you've probably heard similar fare before,
Speaker 7: but this is a bit of an update. Between two thousand,
Speaker 7: year two thousand and the year twenty twenty two, the
Speaker 7: number of students and as schools rose by five percent.
Speaker 2: Five percent.
Speaker 7: The number of teachers rose by ten percent, which is interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 7: the number of principles and assistant principles rose by forty percent.
Speaker 2: Whoa what who who had their kid in school.
Speaker 5: In the year two thousand thought, you know this is
Speaker 5: going well, it'd be a lot better though, if we
Speaker 5: had like eight more principles.
Speaker 2: Yes, who the hell fought that? Right?
Speaker 7: And then again keeping in mind that the increase in
Speaker 7: students is five percent, the increase in administrative staff is
Speaker 7: ninety five percent.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: Same is with universities. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Now, some we've talked about this in the past, and
Speaker 7: some folks have said, yeah, the uh the government mandates
Speaker 7: on schools is so cumbersome. Now the federal and state mandates.
Speaker 7: You have to have compliance staff, Oh my god, that
Speaker 7: spend their whole days issuing reports and filling out forms
Speaker 7: that say you've conformed to all of the demands of
Speaker 7: the centralized government.
Speaker 5: There are so many forms. So I have been through
Speaker 5: a lot of this and super nice people. I'm not
Speaker 5: complaining about any of these people. But I was one
Speaker 5: meeting that had like fifteen people in it about my son,
Speaker 5: and they kept using the word rubric. Well, this, this
Speaker 5: fits the rubric, and it doesn't fit the rubric. And
Speaker 5: we've looked at the rubric everythink, like I said, I
Speaker 5: think I said out loud, I think I cannot hear
Speaker 5: the word rubric another time. We gotta I don't even
Speaker 5: know what that is. We gotta stop saying the word rubric.
Speaker 2: Please. If we do nothing else here, it's refrain from
Speaker 2: singing rubric.
Speaker 5: So it was a paperwork thing. It was just all
Speaker 5: kinds of different layers of paperwork.
Speaker 7: So you have this from Jason Riley, who's a great
Speaker 7: writer and thinker. Biden and Harris worked to crush school competition.
Speaker 7: He is more opposed to charter schools than any president
Speaker 7: in recent history.
Speaker 2: And Kamala has spoken in.
Speaker 7: Enthusiastically about how wonderful teachers unions are and that everything
Speaker 7: that tends to take money and influence away from the
Speaker 7: teachers unions is an attack on public schools. That would
Speaker 7: be bad enough were it not for the numbers involved. Again,
Speaker 7: this is fairly Oh you know, the National Review actually
Speaker 7: touched on the fact that the left is now trying
Speaker 7: to promote or I'm sorry to indict school choice movements
Speaker 7: as an effort a secret plot to promote Christian nationalism.
Speaker 2: All right, that's one of the attacks.
Speaker 5: I assume you're about to get to some of the
Speaker 5: results we're getting out of the schools. Uh yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: But even without that, even if it had maintained what
Speaker 5: public schools were from the past, why would you need
Speaker 5: to increase administration by ninety percent and think that that
Speaker 5: was a good idea even if we had maintained the
Speaker 5: same quality. It's like, well, why are we spending all
Speaker 5: this money? Was working fine before?
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, And I'm looking at the clock. I think
Speaker 7: maybe we take a break and then come back with
Speaker 7: some of the results stuff. But the other thing I
Speaker 7: wanted to get to, and we have a lot of
Speaker 7: great teachers who listen to the show and communicate to
Speaker 7: us and blow the whistle on some of the more
Speaker 7: insane progressive things that are taking the place of math
Speaker 7: and reading in our schools. The genderbread person, which I'm
Speaker 7: always hammering about because you know, California is a particular
Speaker 7: interest because that's where the show is based, and the
Speaker 7: perversity in California schools is just it's heartbreaking. But anyway,
Speaker 7: Wall Street Journal with a big piece teachers are burning
Speaker 7: out on the job, and the subhead is student behavior
Speaker 7: and mediocre pay are taking their toll.
Speaker 2: From lefty media. It's always about the pay.
Speaker 7: It's always about money, and there's such a lack of
Speaker 7: understanding and wisdom. Maybe it's that progressives so fill the
Speaker 7: newsrooms that that's the only point of view, and a
Speaker 7: lot of journalists are young these days because it doesn't
Speaker 7: pay very well.
Speaker 2: But there is such a lack of wisdom.
Speaker 7: If I have a fun, rewarding, joyful job and I
Speaker 7: get the summer off, I would accept that rate of
Speaker 7: pay at X. If I have a miserable, discouraging, heartbreaking job,
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: Work for that low level pay. I'm gonna want a
Speaker 2: hell of a.
Speaker 7: Lot more to keep showing up very good point, student
Speaker 7: behavior problems, cell phones in class, anemic pay that's not
Speaker 7: really true, and artificial intelligence powered cheating are taking their
Speaker 7: toll on America's roughly three point eight million teachers on
Speaker 7: top of the bruising pandemic years. The sheriff teachers who
Speaker 7: say the stress and disappointments of the job are worth
Speaker 7: it has fallen twenty one on points in the last
Speaker 7: couple of years.
Speaker 2: Don't doubt that.
Speaker 7: As recently as twenty eighteen, over seventy percent of teachers
Speaker 7: said the stress was worth it. Now it's forty two.
Speaker 5: In surveys and interviews, teachers are most any any place
Speaker 5: you work, as they is, they layered in more administration
Speaker 5: to wherever you work. Did that make things more enjoyable
Speaker 5: or less enjoyable where you work well?
Speaker 7: And we're going to get to the you know, it's
Speaker 7: more than frustration, it's being physically at risk. In surveys
Speaker 7: and interviews, teachers are most often pointing to a startling
Speaker 7: rise in students' mental health challenges and misbehavior as the
Speaker 7: biggest drivers of burnout. In the Rand Corporation survey, student
Speaker 7: behavior was the top source of teachers job stress.
Speaker 5: A lot of that, I guarantee you is that whole
Speaker 5: restorative justice thing where they have no ability to deal
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 2: That's the next sentence.
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right to quote a high school math teacher
Speaker 7: who says he saw student behavior to interiorate seriously, let
Speaker 7: yet his school drew more lenient in administrating administering consequences.
Speaker 5: How is the country not aware of what a failure
Speaker 5: this restorative justice thing is?
Speaker 7: I know, because nobody talks about it in the media.
Speaker 7: And this poor son of a gun, so he's dealing
Speaker 7: with all this frustration and then his district, Kansas City
Speaker 7: Public Schools, shout out Kansas City. The great cities were
Speaker 7: a privileged to be on. They rolled out a new
Speaker 7: policy last year, teachers could not give students a zero
Speaker 7: for an assignment even if they didn't turn it in
Speaker 7: and didn't make any effort to.
Speaker 2: It is to laugh. I mean, that is so funny.
Speaker 2: It is funny, It is hilarious. So so say that again.
Speaker 7: You can't get a zero even if even if you say,
Speaker 7: not only did I not do the assignment, mister Gerald,
Speaker 7: you should shove it up your arms. He cannot give
Speaker 7: you a zero for that assign You've got to get
Speaker 7: at least like c C one of the things I
Speaker 7: got when I got into teaching. My one thing was
Speaker 7: about learning and love of learning, he says. In the end,
Speaker 7: it was less about the learning and more about babysitting.
Speaker 7: He left teaching this summer. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And
Speaker 7: they go into a great deal of detail, with many,
Speaker 7: many examples of classroom stress and violence, lack of consequences
Speaker 7: for bad behavior, restorative justice.
Speaker 2: I mean, look it up, well, don't look it up, because.
Speaker 5: Their description of it won't be accurate as to what
Speaker 5: actually happens.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: It is the recipe for no discipline and a bullies paradise.
Speaker 2: It is, it is.
Speaker 7: It is tragic for the children and the teachers and
Speaker 7: it's part of Oh yeah, absolutely true, and it's one
Speaker 7: hundred percent part of the neo Marxist We're going to
Speaker 7: break the system. We're going to call everything racist until
Speaker 7: we control it. And they do control the schools to
Speaker 7: a large extent now, and anybody who stands in our
Speaker 7: way will call them a racist until we have imposed
Speaker 7: our philosophy on what ever institution you're talking about, from
Speaker 7: public schools to corporations, to the United States government to
Speaker 7: the military for instance.
Speaker 5: By the way, in Kansas City, we're on FM, so
Speaker 5: people can really enjoy our pipes.
Speaker 2: I have nothing to add to that, you know, and
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm looking at the clock.
Speaker 7: I came across another account a number of school districts
Speaker 7: in oh it was Virginia and one other state in
Speaker 7: which far fewer than half of the children were at
Speaker 7: the minimum level in English, and it was less than
Speaker 7: a third in district after district were not at the
Speaker 7: minimum level for math. We sometimes talk about proficiency. This
Speaker 7: was the well the minimum and the vast majority kids
Speaker 7: are nowhere near it. And if you say, I got
Speaker 7: to get my kid out of this school. The forces
Speaker 7: of the left from Joe Biden Kamala Harrison down will
Speaker 7: tell you you're a rasist for some reason. B you're
Speaker 7: attacking public schools trying to take resources away.
Speaker 2: You're a bad person and a bad parent. It's crazier
Speaker 2: that this isn't a bigger issue. It is. It absolutely is.
Speaker 5: Any thoughts on this text line four one five two
Speaker 5: nine five KFTC.
Speaker 7: It is breaking news, breaking news on the story we
Speaker 7: were talking about just now off the air. It looks
Speaker 7: like a fifth university has forfeited a match against San
Speaker 7: Jose State San Jose State University because they have a
Speaker 7: dude on the team.
Speaker 5: So they continue to be nine and zero San Jose.
Speaker 5: San Jose State's women's volleyball team undefeated with a dude
Speaker 5: on the team.
Speaker 2: Nine and zero.
Speaker 5: They haven't been able to play any more games because
Speaker 5: five straight teams have forfeited, saying we're not playing against
Speaker 5: the dude who can spike the ball at eighty miles
Speaker 5: an hour right as a safety concern, which is a true,
Speaker 5: but I also feel like a bit of a dodge
Speaker 5: in that you shouldn't allow it anyway.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I really don't feel like I need to
Speaker 7: come up with a second argument when my first argument
Speaker 7: is that's a dude, since we're.
Speaker 2: Talking about women's sports.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I will not use the term transgender woman
Speaker 7: when we're discussing something like that.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. That is not a woman. That is a man.
Speaker 7: If you're an effeminate man, a gay man, a man
Speaker 7: in a dress, whatever, that's fine.
Speaker 2: You do you brother, but I'm not calling you a woman.
Speaker 7: I will not be put forced to my knees in
Speaker 7: a Maoist struggle section session and forced to say something
Speaker 7: I know not to be true.
Speaker 2: Sir, you fight that one. I'll fight Columbus day, all right.
Speaker 5: So if all it was was it's unfair competition would
Speaker 5: be reason enough, or took a slot from a girl
Speaker 5: who could have been on the volleyball team, that would
Speaker 5: be enough.
Speaker 2: Yes, lots of reasons.
Speaker 5: You don't even need the eighty mile an hour spike,
Speaker 5: but that is included. And they're they're worried about people
Speaker 5: getting hurt, and so now there's an actual lawsuit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Current teammate of Blair Fleming, a trans identifying male on
Speaker 7: the undefeated San Jose State women's best volleyball team, pretty
Speaker 7: good looking as a woman. Oh lord, has joined more
Speaker 7: than a dozen other female athletes and suing the NCAA
Speaker 7: for Title nine violations.
Speaker 5: You gals go get them. So this might be the one. Huh,
Speaker 5: this might be the nail in the coffin for this
Speaker 5: going on across Penn State. Didn't have the courage or
Speaker 5: the team's playing them, or it was too new, they
Speaker 5: didn't know how to handle it. They should have done
Speaker 5: the same thing with Leah Thomas when she was breaking
Speaker 5: record after record after record swimming as a woman at
Speaker 5: Penn State.
Speaker 2: I think was up Pennsylvania. It doesn't matter. I think
Speaker 2: you're right. University of Pennsylvan.
Speaker 5: You're sorry Penn State blasphemed you and even after you're
Speaker 5: stunning lost to USC, you don't need this.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Penn State's child rape, not transgender swimmers.
Speaker 5: Jerry right, that's a long time now. I won't feel
Speaker 5: as bad about saying bad things.
Speaker 2: That was a long time ago. Yeah. Anyway, where was I?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 7: The Supreme Court this session is going to be taking
Speaker 7: a look at the transgender sports thing, I believe, and
Speaker 7: if they don't rule in the correct same way, I.
Speaker 2: Will be moving to Uruguay or Paraguay, never remember which.
Speaker 5: This is gonna come to a hard stop, and we're
Speaker 5: gonna look back on it years from now. Like I
Speaker 5: was going to try to come up with a good
Speaker 5: example of other crazy things that have happened in the
Speaker 5: past that you just can't even believe happened. I guess,
Speaker 5: like when they were doing the medical experiments on black
Speaker 5: men giving them syphilis or whatever. We'll look back on
Speaker 5: the air and think, can you believe that happened? Right,
Speaker 5: We'll look back on the air where men were dominating
Speaker 5: women's sports and they are allowing it to happen.
Speaker 7: And they'd ask Grandpa, why did they let the men play? Well,
Speaker 7: they said they were women, and you couldn't tell they
Speaker 7: were men. Oh no, everybody knew they were men. But
Speaker 7: because they said they were women, some people said that
Speaker 7: made them women. And your grandchild or you know, adult
Speaker 7: grandchild or whatever would look at you like I'm seriously
Speaker 7: missing something here and I don't know what.
Speaker 2: How did they.
Speaker 5: Handle the locker room, Well, they just walked around with
Speaker 5: their crankout in front of the other girls. They made
Speaker 5: the girls hide elsewhere to change so the man could
Speaker 5: change in comfort. And Grandpa, this is the same left
Speaker 5: that screamed that they were for women's rights. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 5: it was effing crazy.
Speaker 7: Please don't allow yourself to be cowed by the viciousness
Speaker 7: and enthusiasm of the woke left. They are a very
Speaker 7: very small minority of people, but they're such vicious bullies.
Speaker 7: They've gotten their way, especially in education.
Speaker 2: That's Joe Getty. He he not he he isn't laughing.
Speaker 2: He he is in his genders. If you miss now, get
