1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and know he Armstrong and Yetty. Well,

4
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: it's some business news.

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: Target has a new ten to four policy, which requires

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: employees within ten feet of customers to smile and wave,

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: and employees within four feet to start a conversation customers

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: like what happens within one foot?

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 2: Right now?

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: Every Target employee's goal is to stay at least eleven

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: feet away from customers.

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: I get involved, smile, Nothing wrong with that.

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 4: I uh, fair number of Target employees, at least my

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: local Target who don't really want to have to answer

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: any questions and are just trying to stock on the shelf.

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: And why don't you leave me alone?

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: That said?

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: Somebody I think maybe have picked up on that and decided, Hey,

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: if there's a customer near.

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: You, you need to smile.

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 4: I don't want I don't think it employed to ever

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: be within four feet of me.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty close. That's like arm's length. How am I

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: that close to you?

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: Nah? I'm squeezing past them for some reason in that scenario. Yeah,

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: and if you get within two feet I want you

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: to laugh uproariously. All right, now get to work.

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 2: So we did this story yesterday.

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: There have been some bitter arguments on the internet as

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: to the not the authenticity of these numbers, but the

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: way they're portrayed. I'm gonna give the new version of this,

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: but it's still really bad. So you see, San Diego

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: had to add a second remedial math class because they've

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: got so many people coming in who can't do math.

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Before we get to the stats, how about this one.

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: Universities in our country get thirty times more government cash

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 4: than they did in the fifties. That's inflation adjusted, thirty

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 4: times as much money going to universities from taxpayers then

39
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: in the fifties, and we all know for a fact.

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: That the results are much less.

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 4: We're probably churning out college graduates that were similarly ish

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: to high school graduates in the fifties.

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: Probably not even that right. Yeah.

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, later on campus maddeness update, including

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: the hilarious controversy at Harvard over there, the university saying, yeah,

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: we got to start having grades. Everybody gets a's all

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 4: the time. We got to stop that. And the little

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: snowflakes are going crazy over it. Anyway, that's for another time. Yeah,

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: great inflation is one of the reasons for what they

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: think happened here. The report shows that nearly one in

51
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: five students U SEE San Diego fail to meet entry

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: level writing requirements. The deterioration goes across many across, goes

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: across many different you know, reading, math, science, all that

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: sort of stuff. But the report focuses on the decline

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: in math skills. Skills in particular, they recently tested a

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: group of their students. Now it's originally portrayed, and I'm

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: not exactly sure which is true. It is originally portrayed

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 4: as this was all students entering UC San Diego. The

59
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: correction on x twitter is that it only applies to

60
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: the kids that are in these remedial math classes. Okay,

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: that would be better, But even if it's true, it's stunning.

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 4: How do you have remedial math classes at a major

63
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: university where you get these results eighty seven percent of

64
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: them can do grade one math. One hundred thirteen percent

65
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: of the people in your remedial math class that can't

66
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: do first grade math?

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: How the hell did you get into the university?

68
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: Well, and we're not talking about, you know, Jones County

69
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: Community College. This is the University of California at San Diego,

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 4: an alleged elite university. And I remember back in my

71
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: applying to university days, the idea that you can't do

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: math up to the standards of a six year old,

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 4: you would not have gotten in on any program.

74
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: Well, how'd you get out of high school? How'd you

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: get out of first grade? Well?

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 4: So again I'm not sure which is true, whether this

77
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: was all the students or just the remedial math classes,

78
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: but even best case scenario.

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: It's horrifying.

80
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: So eighty two percent of them could do second grade math,

81
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: only three quarters could do third grade math.

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: What are you in third grade? Eight years old? Eight

83
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: or nine? Yeah, what are you doing in third grade?

84
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: All work entails a you. I don't think you're into

85
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: multiplication tables yet. But anyway, even if you are, you're

86
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: a you're at a university.

87
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: Of college campus. Yeah, at a quarter of you can't

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: do that. So a third can't do fourth grade math.

89
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: You get into about fifty percent that can do fifth

90
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: grade math. About fifty percent can't do fifth grade math.

91
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: That would be like multiplication and long division stuff. I mean,

92
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: I've just I've got a fifth grader recently. Yeah, yeah, So,

93
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: I mean it ain't hard stuff. I mean it's pretty

94
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: damned remedial. And half the kids are accepted into the

95
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: university having graduated high school. I assume can't do math

96
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: at that level.

97
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: You get to eighth grade math.

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 4: Only nineteen percent of people could do eighth grade math,

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: but they were admitted to a major, allegedly elite university.

100
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Why yea, is it a dei thing? Is it?

101
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the the like the social grievance studies programs,

102
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: you don't need any preparation. You're there to sit and

103
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 4: be indoctrinated, so you don't need to leave it to

104
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: bring any skill to the table or any skill set.

105
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: I mean, the whys is almost as interesting a questions

106
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: the how the f although I think we know how

107
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: the heck this happened.

108
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: More on that in a moment.

109
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: On all education stuff, the educators have the out of

110
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: blaming the pandemic, and there is a dip in the

111
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: pandemic crowd. But as we talked about a couple of

112
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: weeks ago, when the nation's report card came out, the

113
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 4: trend lines were down for decades before the pandemic. It

114
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: accelerated a little during the pandemic, and now it continues

115
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: to go down. So we're head of that direction anyway.

116
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: That's a that's a bad way out of this conversation

117
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: to claim it was the pandemic. And other reason, according

118
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: to this researcher, is the elimination of standardized test requirements,

119
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 4: which helped schools claim everybody's up to grade level and

120
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: they can pass everybody and get the government funding they want.

121
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: And with high.

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: School grade inflation, where the percentage of people to get

123
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: a's and b's is skyrocketed over the years, not that

124
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: the abilities have skyrocketed, just the number of a's and

125
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: b's that they hand out, right, and the whole social

126
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: promotion thing where you get moved on to the next

127
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: grade no matter if you learned anything or not. And

128
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: then at the point that I mean, because math in particular,

129
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: you build your next skill is built on the foundation

130
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: of your previously learned skills mostly and so yeah, if

131
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: you got out of third grade not having mastered or

132
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: come close to third grade math, you are finished as

133
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: a person learning math.

134
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: In most cases.

135
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: This is a California thing, but not surprising A major cause,

136
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: according to this person, Steve McGuire, a major cause that

137
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: you see sd in. They point to a significant increase

138
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: in students admitted from LCFF, that's Local Control Funding formula schools,

139
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: which are California public schools in which seventy five percent

140
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: of the school's total enrollment is composed of students who

141
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: identified as either eligible for free or reduced price meals,

142
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: or English lunars or foster youth. So these are schools

143
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: with either troubled kids or poor kids or whatever, and

144
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: you have to admit a whole bunch of them because

145
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: you know, equity and inequity and all these different sorts

146
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: of things, thereby setting them up to fail miserably in

147
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: college because they are at a place they can't cut it.

148
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: Two choices.

149
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: And Roland Frar, the gray Harvard economist, black man Coleman Hughes,

150
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: another great Black thinker, Thomas Soel, has pointed this out

151
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: all sorts of people have. The worst thing you can

152
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: do is take a kid unprepared and throw them into

153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: the shark tank of an elite university because they can't

154
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: handle it, and they they I think there's a worse

155
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: thing you can do pass them through the university, give

156
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: them a degree, and then send them out in the

157
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: world with them thinking I'll be able to support myself.

158
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: I'll be able to pay off these enormous debts because

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: I have an important and valuable university degree having been

160
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 4: defrauded by the university.

161
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: And that's what I was going to get to. So

162
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: you have two choices.

163
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: Number one, throw them in the shark tank is described

164
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: moments ago or two, so inflate grades that the kids

165
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: get through the university having been totally unprepared, doing very

166
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: little work and learning almost nothing. My god, we need

167
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: to tear this down to the studs. And this gets

168
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: to what you're talking about yesterday. Then you get these

169
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: college graduates who don't know.

170
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: That they got a bad education. How would you know that.

171
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 4: They think they got a college education just like their

172
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: parents and grandparents did, and look at the results that

173
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: they got, and now I can't get a job. It

174
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: must be capitalism, it must be the system. And that's

175
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: why people voted for Momdanni. Yeah, as we've pointed out

176
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 4: in that brilliant essay, we had a couple of days ago. Yeah,

177
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: they get out into the free market. They were told

178
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 4: that they had skills worth a certain amount, at least

179
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: enough to pay off their college debt. And when it

180
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 4: turns out that no, they actually have a worthless degree,

181
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,479
Speaker 4: they're not told that. They're told capitalism is the problem.

182
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: The system is the problem. It's exploitive and in a

183
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: very closely related story, I mean, it's the same story.

184
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: After the break, I want to bring you news of

185
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: American Federation of Teachers Presidents Randy Weingarten's new book. I

186
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: do want to talk about that, but as just it

187
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: just popped in my head what you're always saying, we

188
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: need to go way back earlier in the development of

189
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 4: kids to deal with these situations, dealing with it at

190
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: the point you're at the university, What how did you

191
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: get out of fifth grade not being able to do

192
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: first grade math?

193
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: Right?

194
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: Well, how'd you get out of first grade without being

195
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: able to do first grade math? Back when I was

196
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: a kid? I mean it's not so you graduated. How'd

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 4: you get out of high school? You can't do first

198
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 4: grade math?

199
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: Right? Right?

200
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 4: So the left in the teachers unions would have us

201
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: failed these kids from age five through eighteen, completely failed

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: them while they feather their own nest and then make

203
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 4: it all up at age eighteen as they're admitted into

204
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: an elite university that is perverse.

205
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: It's idiotic.

206
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: I can't believe I have to say this. We have

207
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: Epstein more Epstein stuff to talk about. Lord, all right,

208
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: this is going to be the same life a punch.

209
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: That's gonna be the story for a couple of days.

210
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: So lots on the ways stay here. The actual math

211
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 4: test is out from UC San Diego. Some of the

212
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 4: questions and what percentage of people got them right or wrong.

213
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: We might have to get into that later because it's

214
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 4: pretty interesting. So perhaps you would like to leave a

215
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: flaming bag of dog experiments on your neighbor's front porch,

216
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: but you lack such an item, you go with Randy

217
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: Weingarten's new book instead, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, Public Education,

218
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: and the Future of Democracy. If there was ever a

219
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 4: flaming bag of dog crap sold as a book, this

220
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: is it. Why Fascists Fear Teachers? Who are these fascists?

221
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: We'll get to that in a moment. So obviously the

222
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: title is designed to be eye catching and attract readers,

223
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: but by now, as this review puts it, the word

224
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: fascist is thrown around routinely. The book's title Public Education

225
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 4: the Future Democracy is more significant deceptive.

226
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 2: The book's purported intention.

227
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: Is to argue for public school's crucial role in our

228
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 4: democratic society, but it offers very little in the way

229
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 4: of education policy or ideas that would truly benefit teachers

230
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: or God forbids, students.

231
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: The randul aime Yes.

232
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: Randy Weingarten played the major role in keeping the schools

233
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: closed during the pandemic. For instance, yeah, I'm sorry the

234
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 4: American Federation of Teachers president for years and years and years.

235
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 2: The real aim is made clear.

236
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: It devotes most of its pages to attacking her political opponents,

237
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: especially especially supporters of school choice, and defending the interests

238
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: of the American Federation of Teachers, her big rich union.

239
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 4: She starts out claiming ninety percent of American kids attend

240
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: public schools.

241
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: Not so fast. It was a little over.

242
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 4: Eighty one percent four years ago at the beginning of

243
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 4: COVID so and that's before the expansion of universal school

244
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: choice in states like Texas and New Hampshire. Half of

245
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: American children now have access to school choice, so the

246
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: number is far far lower than the ninety percent. She claims,

247
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: so it's appropriate the book would start off with lies.

248
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 4: As it continues. In that vein, Winngarten characterizes the school

249
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: choice movement as a conspiracy organized by Christopher Ruffo, Moms

250
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 4: for Liberty, and other hard right wing activists. Quote, a

251
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: plot to destroy public education.

252
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah all for that, based on right.

253
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: Now, you know, honestly, Yeah, I see your point. The

254
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 4: real drivers of the choice movement, they point out, however,

255
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: her parents like Virginia olden Ford, a black, low income

256
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: other in Washington, d C. Who grew frustrated watching her

257
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: sons struggle in public school and helped create the DC

258
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: Opportunity Scholarship Program, the nation's first federally funded voucher initiative.

259
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, she's a conspiracy Not sure, Randy, let's see.

260
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: Winngartan also insists that vouchers are devised by whites to

261
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: undermine desegregation. Oh, it's racism, probably systemic racism. This isn't

262
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: just wrong, it gets the history completely backward. In fact,

263
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: some teachers' unions fought against vouchers because they facilitated integration.

264
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: Wygarten claims she is quote willing to work with anyone

265
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: who wants to actually address the problems facing our public schools,

266
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: but she refuses to engage with school choice advocates who

267
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: propose concrete and constructive options for students underserved by traditional

268
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: school districts. Then she denigrates religious schools, whose very purpose

269
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: is in doctrination.

270
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: That's a quote.

271
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: This animus causes her to overlook the many advantages of

272
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: faith based education, such as the Catholic school effect, which

273
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: has been demonstrated to benefit disadvantage minority students in particular,

274
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: has to do with high expectations and discipline and that

275
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 4: sort of thing. The biggest deception in Wingarten's book is

276
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 4: her portrayal of her role Jackie loved this during the pandemic,

277
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: I quote, I led the AFT in developing a concrete

278
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: plan to reopen schools as quickly and safely as possible, when,

279
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: of course, Winegotten and her union colleagues kept children American

280
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 4: children out of schools until the government approved her request

281
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: for a seven hundred and fifty billion dollar federal age

282
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: package federal aid package to feather their nest and hire

283
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: more administrations and more union members.

284
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

285
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: The book is primarily an attempt to rehabilitate Winegarton's image

286
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 4: after she backed the longest school closures in American history,

287
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: which yield that the largest drop in student performance ever recorded.

288
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: Not to mention the emotional turmoil, and she mentions the

289
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: Aforah mentioned fascists like ourselves in her title replace facts

290
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: and critical thinking with propaganda that romanticizes the nation's past.

291
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: No, absolutely obscene.

292
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: You know, I gotta apologize to flaming bags of dog

293
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: crap comparing them to this book.

294
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: It's insulting.

295
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really maddening. I mean, we've talked about this

296
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 4: a lot, and I hate her so much. Do you

297
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: think she actually believes she's doing the right thing for

298
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: kids or did she abandon that a long time ago.

299
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't. She couldn't. There's no way.

300
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: There's no way she possibly thought keeping the schools closed

301
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 4: was the best thing for the kids.

302
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: Not a chance she actually believed that.

303
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: No, unless her own evil in her need to, you know,

304
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: explain it has perverted her own mind to the point

305
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: that she can't recognize truth. She's like OJ Simpson who

306
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: thought he'd didn't kill his wife.

307
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a horrifying human being.

308
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get to some of those math problems. That

309
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: University of San Diego students couldn't do, among other things, coming.

310
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: Up Armstrong and Geeddy.

311
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: You guys, it's Veterans Day.

312
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: Tonight's audience is made up entirely of veterans, active military

313
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: and their families and friends.

314
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: Pup from to the zone.

315
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: I thank you for all the sacrifices you have made

316
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: fighting overseas while the rest of us are at home

317
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: fighting over bear shaped cups at Starbucks.

318
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I've never been to a war zone.

319
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: However, I have been to a waffle house at two am,

320
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: and that's that's pretty real. I've never been stuck in

321
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: a fox hole. However, one time my uber driving Pycknam

322
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: in a Mini Cooper that I'm in the front and

323
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: backseat NaNs.

324
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: So what's the deal on the little bear thing at Starbucks? Katie,

325
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 4: you had that story for it. It keeps popping up

326
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 4: in my news feed.

327
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 5: Well, you know those old honey dispensers that are in

328
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: the shape of a bear. It's a cup that looks

329
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 5: just like that, and it's got a little green hat

330
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: and it's glass, and it's from Starbucks. And there's all

331
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: of this drama people saying the employees are taking them

332
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 5: for themselves. And I looked online over the weekend and

333
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 5: one was on eBay for like four hundred and fifty dollars.

334
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, Hey.

335
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 4: When little Jack Jo Mike Michael was born, well and

336
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: maybe a few years down the line, I got to

337
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 4: come and teach Drew. My favorite one of my favorite

338
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: dad bits that I used to do at the table,

339
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: the breakfast table with my kids. We'd have the honey

340
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: Bear and you know, he'd be like, you know, a

341
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: third empty, and I would do him as a little character.

342
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: I would move him around and look at the kids

343
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: and I'd say, what are you looking at? When you

344
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: look at me like that makes me so mad? I

345
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: get madder and madder, and I would squeeze it and

346
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: the honey would rise up like he's turning red.

347
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: And I was a kid looking at me.

348
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 4: Then I turned looking my other kid and they'd squeal

349
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 4: and I'd make the honeyper mad at them too.

350
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: I was a good time, good time. The Honeybear. Yeah.

351
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: My favorite was a post online of a woman who

352
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 5: had just gotten one, and it showed the ring camera

353
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 5: of her walking out of her house and her dropping it.

354
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 5: Oh it's glass and do you drink coffee out of it?

355
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: Because yeah, it looks like it's for iced drinks.

356
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 4: Probably because you don't drink coffee out of that hot

357
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: coffee had burn your hand, right, Okay.

358
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: Unless you put a little sweater on him, like.

359
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: Oh, wouldn't that be cute? A little sweater on your bear?

360
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: In a sweater they have furse. So I think I've

361
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: nailed down the Epstein thing for today. The Epstein story

362
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: today is there are these supposed letters that Jeffrey Epstein

363
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: wrote to Michael wolf And I don't know if you

364
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 4: remember this name or not. We've had him on before.

365
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: He's written a whole bunch of politic books over the years,

366
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: and they're usually they they always sound like crap to me.

367
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: I've never read one.

368
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 4: They're always full of the they're not they're though that

369
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: genre of not taking super seriously political books that come out.

370
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: But one side really loves him because it usually is

371
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: very partisan. Yeah, and uh, anyway, so he's claiming Jeffrey

372
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: Epstein wrote him these these letters and we're all just

373
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: learning this now, all right, maybe yeah, Anyway, he Michael Wolfe,

374
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 4: the political author. Remember I looked up some of the

375
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 4: titles something fury.

376
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: There was the.

377
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 4: Fire and fury inside the Trump White House. Oh that

378
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: was a huge thing for the lefty media to grasp

379
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 4: on and have this guy on with his anonymous source

380
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 4: stories of really crazy stuff that happened. And I just

381
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: I've taken him as a crap author before this even happened.

382
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: So he's claiming he got these letters from Jeffrey Epstein

383
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 4: months before Epstein killed himself.

384
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: If he got the letters after him, it'd be weird.

385
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: In which he had written to Wolfe saying that Trump

386
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: had told Epstein to stop recruiting young girls from the

387
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: spa at marl Iago to groom and abuse. Well, Trump

388
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 4: talked about that a little bit. Yes, yes, yes, that

389
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: has been reported to other places. But although the groom

390
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: and abused part, I think Trump didn't say he just

391
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 4: didn't appreciate his employees being poached.

392
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: Right.

393
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 4: So this guy wolf takes a step further in the

394
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 4: letters that he claims he has that Trump actually knew

395
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: what was going on over there and did nothing about it.

396
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: So that's the Epstein story of the day. And as

397
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: I've mentioned several times, MSNBC is talking about it a

398
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 4: lot in Congress back Concession starting tomorrow.

399
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: It's all about the Epstein thing. Now. The Republicans can't

400
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: hide it any longer.

401
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: They found a way to shut down Congress for forty days,

402
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 4: but now the Epstein stuff's going to come out. I

403
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 4: thought that story was as dead as Jeffrey Epstein, but apparently.

404
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 6: So.

405
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 4: If you are listening to the podcast later today and

406
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: you're thinking, wow, that's weird. I accidentally downloaded something from

407
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 4: four months ago.

408
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 2: No, you didn't.

409
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: It's just it's one more, probably last ditch effort to

410
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: squeeze something out of the Epstein story. So this is allegedly,

411
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 4: and I think it's true. It's coming from good sources,

412
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: but I'll say allegedly because I.

413
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Don't know that it's true.

414
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: This is some of the math questions that they had

415
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: in the remedial math class at you See San Diego

416
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: that kids couldn't answer. For instance, only seventy five percent

417
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: of the people in the remedial math class at U

418
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 4: See San Diego. You got accepted into a major university,

419
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 4: you graduated high schoo obviously seven plus two equals what

420
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: plus six?

421
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: Wow? Seventy five percent got it right? Wow? That is

422
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: that's shocking.

423
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 4: I mean that is the most basic basic mathematics. Sorry,

424
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 4: this is seen as a grade two question, second grade question.

425
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: Ninety one percent got it right, but that means nine

426
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: percent didn't get it right. What's sixty six plus forty four?

427
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: I mean it's just like very basic math. Anyway, we'll

428
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: look to some that they found.

429
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: A little harder.

430
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 4: Sarah had nine pennies and nine dimes. How many coins

431
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 4: did she have? Well, seventy nine percent people got right

432
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: one out of five. Admitted to an allegedly elite university

433
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 4: in California. And I've told the story before. My kid

434
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: had amazing grades and is very, very bright, and I

435
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: think she was told to pound sand by the University

436
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: of California system, the valedictorian of her class, young female,

437
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: daughter of immigrants, person of color, unbelievable extracurriculars, not admitted

438
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: to the UC school of her choice. Didn't have room

439
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 4: for her. But they have room for people who couldn't

440
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 4: do math.

441
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is going on there?

442
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: I've got an acquaintance whose kids went to some of

443
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 4: the UC classes, went to UC schools.

444
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: How did they get in? I don't think they make

445
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: a lot of money. Is that? Is that the whole thing.

446
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: You gotta plead podst Rather.

447
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 4: There's so many Chinese nationals. I don't know. Well, this

448
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 4: is the valedictorian girl I'm talking about there. Her family

449
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 4: was a very modest means. I'm flabbergasted by the whole thing.

450
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: I emerged from that process just completely confused about how

451
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 4: the whole thing worked.

452
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: Huh. I should have claimed my name was.

453
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: Hjin Pong and my daughter Delaney was you know whatever,

454
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 4: Come make us up some fake Chinese name. Of course

455
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 4: I would have been charged, you know, the rack rate.

456
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do with this information. Tear

457
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: the government schools, including the universities, down to the studs

458
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 4: and start over again. I don't know how that would happen.

459
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: I don't expect it to well, the factor that, but

460
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: factor this stuff in whenever you're thinking about, first of all, inequality,

461
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a lot of inequality. If you have

462
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 4: people going to really expensive universities and coming out not

463
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 4: knowing anything, or people graduating from high school that shouldn't

464
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: be grauating fro high schoo well, because they're not capable

465
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: of going out in the world making a living. They

466
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 4: didn't get an education, not their fault, not their fault

467
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: at all. In fact, you're screwing them. I mean, it's

468
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: just absolutely horrific what we're doing. Two children, right, they

469
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: are truly the victims. And then when they get out

470
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: into the free market and fail miserably, what do they

471
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: blame the people who indoctrinated them since they were tiny

472
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 4: little kids. No, they blame the free market. They blame

473
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: if you want to call it capitalism, capitalism, and they

474
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: vote for Zorn Mumdani. Yeah, which leads me to this

475
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 4: Thomas Sowell quote which was floating around. I think you

476
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: to retweeted it. Well, it's on Thomas Sowell quotes. It's

477
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 4: actually a quote from Waltery Williams. Soho, I don't know

478
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 4: this guy, but I like this quote. Oh, Walter Williams,

479
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 4: great columnist for many many years, great conservative black thinker. Yeah,

480
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: let me offer you my definition of social justice. I

481
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: keep what I earn and you keep what you learn.

482
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 4: Do you disagree, Well, then tell me how much of

483
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: what I earn belongs to you and why that is

484
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 4: so good? Why can't we have that conversation on a

485
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: regular basis that why isn't that like ninety percent of

486
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: all presidential debates are all political debates, no matter what

487
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 4: you're running for.

488
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: How about this, I keep what I make. You keep

489
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: what you make.

490
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 4: Now, if you're saying you should get someone I make,

491
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: explain to me why how much? And why right?

492
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: How much?

493
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: You know?

494
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: Why? You know?

495
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: What I would love to see break the bubble of

496
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: indoctrination in the government schools, including universities, is you know,

497
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: just to randomly select I don't know.

498
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: I'd like ten people.

499
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 4: Who have a net worth of a million dollars or whatever,

500
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: you pick the figure, a million dollars, two million dollars whatever,

501
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 4: people generally in their forties, fifties, sixties, and have them

502
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: on some sort of compulsory TV show the little kids

503
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: have to watch, and the young adults explain how they

504
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: made their money. And I think it would blow up

505
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: to a large extent the ridiculous idea that the United

506
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: States the fixes in and only the privileged few white

507
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: people make money or become successful, and the American dream

508
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: is dead and there's no reason to keep trying, which

509
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 4: is so Viet slash current Chinese slash Russian propaganda and

510
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: always has been.

511
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: But I was repeated in our nation's schools. It makes

512
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: me insane.

513
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 4: Because you think most of the stories would be something like,

514
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 4: you know, I got out of college and I went

515
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: to work for a firm and I was working sixty

516
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 4: hours a week, and I worked myself up to assistant

517
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 4: to the general manager and blah blah blah blah blah

518
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: blah blah. Yeah, I became a plumber and I really

519
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: liked dealing with the customers and.

520
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: I was pretty good at it.

521
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 4: And my boss was going to retire or I decided

522
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 4: to open my own company and hired some of the

523
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: plumbers I knew blah blah blah. And now I've got

524
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: twenty guys under me, and yeah, I make a really

525
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 4: good living.

526
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: It's been great.

527
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: But just all those stories, I mean, you're gonna get occasionally.

528
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 4: Oh I inherited it.

529
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 7: That's fine.

530
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: Most people are out there. I don't begrudge them that.

531
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: But there's so many great success stories that these kids

532
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 4: never get exposed to. Right, I'm a salesman. I really

533
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: like meeting people. I'm kind of out going. And first

534
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: I sold whatever aluminum siding. Then I got into software,

535
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: and now I do cloud computing, and I visit big

536
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 4: corporations and blah blah blah. Yeah, the commissions are really good,

537
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: but it's just because I like to meet people. It's

538
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: like the version of I've talked about this before. Something

539
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: I learned from YouTube. Musicians. Really good musicians.

540
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: Practice like crazy. Yes. Were they born with more talent

541
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: than me? Probably?

542
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: Do they practice more than every day than I've ever

543
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 4: practiced one day? Yes, I mean just like insane work

544
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: that they put into it that I've learned from YouTube,

545
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: and I'm you know, that's the lesson you'd get from

546
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: successful people. Oh, they worked really really really They had

547
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,760

00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 13: The USS gerald Ford Aircraft Carrier Strike Group has moved

661
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 13: into the Latin American region. President Trump ordered the deployment

662
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 13: last month, adding to the eight warships, nuclear submarine, and

663
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 13: F thirty five aircraft already in the Caribbean. Pentagon says

664
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 13: the move is to disrupt narcotics trafficking and dismantle transnational

665
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 13: criminal organizations.

666
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: The US military has.

667
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 13: Carried out at least nineteen strikes like what you're looking

668
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 13: at here against suspected drug vessels, killing at least seventy

669
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 13: six people.

670
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was forecast a couple of weeks ago that

671
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 4: the gerald Ford aircraft carrier was headed there, and it

672
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 4: was described at the time as the world's biggest aircraft carrier.

673
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: I assume that's still true.

674
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: It is now there, and Venezuela is not going to

675
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 4: take it lying down, as they have mobilized two hundred

676
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 4: thousand troops according to their leader Nicholas Maduro and their

677
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 4: Secretary of Defense person.

678
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: They got all kinds of stuff they're doing.

679
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 4: The objective is to place the entire country's military arsenal

680
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 4: and full operational readiness.

681
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: Said their sec death or the equivalent there.

682
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 4: The preparations include massive deployment of ground, aerial, naval, riverine,

683
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 4: and missile forces with the participation of all security forces

684
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 4: and militia.

685
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: Twohundred thousand troops. So what sort of a what sort

686
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: of an action?

687
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, we've got the sort of armada

688
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 4: there like we're invading the Philippines in nineteen forty four, Right, Yeah,

689
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 4: what do you think They got a lot of like,

690
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 4: not very well trained, not very well equipped lunkheads in

691
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 4: their military. But they're elite troops, many of whom have

692
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: trained in Cuba, I'm told with various other communist regimes

693
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: are pretty good.

694
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.

695
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 4: It's with a regime like Menduo's part of his probably

696
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 4: legitimate concern about what Trump has in mind, But the

697
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 4: rest of it is you're whipping up nationalism and the

698
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 4: threat from outside is the greatest thing that can happen

699
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: to a dictator.

700
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: But what do you think Trump does have in mind?

701
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: Do not know?

702
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 4: Trying to My best guess is sending a message through

703
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: a variety of channels, including the obvious that we're discussing

704
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: that if you wanted to get rid of Maduro, we

705
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 4: will help you keep order. Maybe because we're not invading Venezuela,

706
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 4: you think that's off the table. Yeah, yeah, I certainly

707
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 4: hope it is Marines landing on the beach there and

708
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 4: then what to capitate the Meduro regime and then it

709
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 4: occupied the country for the next twenty years' tract carrier

710
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: doing there flexing muscles.

711
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

712
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 4: Okay, this is one of my very very small jihads.

713
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 4: It's way back in the three hundreds, but it was

714
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 4: funny Brett Bear mentioning all the ships and boats and

715
00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 4: everything and a nuclear submarine. All of our submarines are nuclear.

716
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: They are powered by nuclear power. That doesn't mean they're

717
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: armed with nuclear weapons.

718
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: Well, the problem is, yeah, when people say in.

719
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 4: Aircraft carriers are nuclear craft, right, what's that Aircraft carriers

720
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 4: are nuclear craft?

721
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: Probably the problem is it's funny.

722
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 4: The problem is when people say it, they're meaning to

723
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 4: intend that it has something to do with nuclear weapons, right,

724
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 4: and it does. So we really should fix that because

725
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 4: it's not a minor quibble, right of whether or not

726
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 4: we're talking about putting nukes on the table.

727
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 2: Right.

728
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: Indeed, whatever question we're discussing, nobody talks about the power

729
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 4: plant of destroyers and aircraft carriers and anything else. But yeah,

730
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 4: it's always nuclear submarine okay. Uh carriers. Aircraft carriers are

731
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: strategic assets. In the United States uses its fleet of eleven.

732
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: We have eleven, the most in the world. We're the

733
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 4: only country that had them at all not that long ago.

734
00:39:58,600 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 2: But it's a big deal.

735
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 4: Have one of our major aircraft carriers down there by

736
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 4: Venezuela doing whatever it's doing, doing what.

737
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

738
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 4: It's ready in case of something. I don't want to

739
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 4: talk about Epstein. I don't talk about Epstein. I won't

740
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 4: your Democrats want to talk about Epstein.
