And this was before the latest round 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: of storms. Trillions, right, thirty two trillion trillion gas. Huh, 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: big bucket. Guy spends all day emptying the bucket and 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 1: he's got he's carrying her out a one trillion, yeah 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: gallon bucket. He measured thirty two of them. Just wrecked 26 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: his back this morning. All right, So another big story. 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, a lot of potholes. I'm reading about. 28 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: A bunch of cars got disabled this morning by potholes. 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: I called three one one yesterday, Oh, there is a 30 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: massive and Karen Bassetti answered yes, Actually she did. She 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: was the first voice I heard, and I started yelling 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: at her, and then I realized it was recording recording. Yeah, 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: there's a there's a pothole on Sunset Boulevard. It is 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: the size of Rhode Island. Oh, that's fantastic. There is 35 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: a pretty strong possibility there's going to be a strike 36 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: within the LA Unified School District. The teachers too in 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: sympathy with the workers who are with SEIU Local ninety nine. 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: These are people that work in the cafeteria. These are 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: people that are janitors in the schools. Uh, this could 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: this will shut down the Los Angeles Public schools, possibly 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: for days. We are now going to talk to a 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: fifth grade teacher who apparently has twenty plus years of 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: experience in LA unified school district, but wishes to remain anonymous. 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: All right, anonymous Teacher're welcome. Hello. What's the problem with 45 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: the connection? That's super anonymous? I'm hearing so anonymous. She 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: refuses to use a voice. She's she's sending she's not 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: on the air because we can't hear her. I love 48 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: this little debate. Actually, I wish we'd I hear something, 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: but I don't hear a voice, right, I hear like 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: that noise. This is the fun part here we are 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: now I hear it. This is this is the person. Hello, Hello, Hi, 52 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: can you hear me now? Yes? We can? And perfectly? 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: All right? How are you? I'm well sorry, I'm calling 54 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: from the car, just leaving work right now. We understand it. 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: You're not happy with this plan for a teacher strike. 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm very unhappy and this pleased with this as a 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: mom number one and as a teacher number two. We 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: don't want to have the kids outside the classroom. There 59 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: they are parents outside who are screaming. They're like Oh 60 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: my god, another strike. We just took a year off 61 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: because of COVID. Now another strike. And this is not 62 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: even something that the members of UTLA have voted for yet, 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: but the directors just went ahead and they're like, yeah, 64 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to call it a sympathy strike. 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: But we're not even going to call it a strike. 66 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: We're just going to give you guys the power not 67 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: to pass the picket lines. Oh the picket line as usual. 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: Everybody's playing semantics, are playing with the words because it's 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: really embarrassing to go on strike when you just took 70 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: a year and a half off. I mean that is 71 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: anybody does any of these teachers have any shame? It's 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: not the teachers this time. I mean, I'm one of 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the teachers. I have two children in LAUSD myself. We 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: many of us, do not want to go on the strike. 75 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: We as our union did not even give us the 76 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: champ But you guys vote, you guys vote for these 77 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: union leaders. It's a democratic collection. This is the majority 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: of the teachers voting for these leaders. Yeah, but it's 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: a small percentage of the teachers who are actually voted. 80 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: And you know, when many of us are just in 81 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: the union because many of them don't even know that 82 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: they could pull out, and they're they're in the union 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: to get protection from on lawful stuff, from bad administrators, 84 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: this and that. But right for them with UTLA is 85 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: just unfair to the teachers, and many of us don't 86 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: stand for a lot of the policies of UTLA. I 87 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, you know, we often have individual teachers 88 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: on over the years, and every one of them says 89 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: something like you just said. I guess that's why they're 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: comfortable coming on the show. But really, where is all 91 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: this public outrage when the teachers are sitting home for 92 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: sixteen months or when they're threatening this this three day strike. 93 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: You never outside of you, there's no teacher saying, hey, 94 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: this is this is screwed up, this is awful. You 95 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: know what it is? Many of us get bullied by 96 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: our own of union. We get bullied by other staff members. 97 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: They're like, no, we all got to go in, you know, 98 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: one for all and all for one. Does anyone ever 99 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: pulling back? Well, yeah, back by pulling out of the 100 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: union or you just don't, you know, go to the 101 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: staff meetings or going to staff lunch, because then you're 102 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: going to be the one who's going to have your 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: finger pointing at you. Well, I don't know, maybe people 104 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: want to get used to having fingers pointing at them. 105 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: If I came to work and I had some cloud 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: walk in here and tell me I had to go 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: on strike the next three days, yeah, I'd shove them 108 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: to the floor. It's like, get out of here, get 109 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: out of my business. I'm coming into work. I'm not 110 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: listening to you. I mean, you gotta fight back, you 111 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: gotta bully back. And this is exactly why we're upset 112 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: as teachers because we didn't like you said. You know, 113 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: we voted and blah blah blah, but we didn't even 114 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: get a vote on this damn strike. We didn't even 115 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: get a choice. That directors just said, you know, Mark, 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: we're going to go in for the sympathy strikes, and hopefully, 117 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm very very optimistic, you know. I personally like our 118 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: superintendent Carvalo. I think he's putting the kids first. After 119 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: many other superintendents that we've had. I actually think he 120 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: cares about the education in la USB and I'm hoping 121 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: he can sit at the table with some of these 122 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: people who are just pushing other politics in and they're 123 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: just kind of getting in the numbers of the unions, like, hey, 124 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: let's join this union and that union. I'm ving he 125 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: can sit and say, let's put the kids first for one. 126 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: How many what percentage the teachers felt bad that the 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: kids were at a school for a year and a 128 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: half and then you can measure how far behind they 129 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: are now, and you could measure that they're a lot 130 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: of them are never going to catch up. Fully. Does 131 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: anybody feel bad about that? Many teachers did feel bad, 132 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: especially for me. Within the elementary school, we have so 133 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: many little kids who have speech problems due to wearing 134 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: a mask and also not being in contact with other 135 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: kids their own age. We have so many kids who 136 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: are far far behind them mathematics and reading and comprehension skills. 137 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: And there are many who say, well, you know what, 138 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: it's the fallout. No, it's not the fallout. Education over 139 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: zoom was not real education. It really wasn't. I'm sorry 140 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't. Don't be sorry. It wasn't right. It wasn't. 141 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: But these pro union teachers, they don't care about this. 142 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: I know you do, and you probably have many teacher 143 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: friends who do. But Obviously the crowding control doesn't care 144 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: what's wrong with them. It's a job and you'll do 145 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: whatever you can to make more money. That's what it is. 146 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: So they don't they have no interest in worrying about 147 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: the kids' lives and education. Well, I mean, even right now, 148 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: if if the superintendent closes three days, by law, he 149 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: has to have maintained a certain number of days that 150 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: comes from the state legislature, which means that he has 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: to add three extra days either towards the end of 152 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: the class another school year or within you know, add 153 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: those three days. Well, that's going to mess up a 154 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: lot of plans for teachers and students. If you're planning 155 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: on going on vacation at the end of the school year, 156 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: or you have culmination and graduation, you add an extra 157 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: three days at the end, you're going to mess up 158 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: a lot of lives. It's not the end of the world, 159 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: but you're actually doing much damage compared to when you 160 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: got into the teaching business, right, And I imagine you're 161 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: probably idealistic and you wanted to do good. What is 162 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: it now that you've been on the inside. What do 163 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: you make of what you say? What you must be 164 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: vacatients change, educations change.

Everybody 208 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: is so timid and weak. Well, the Union UTLA calls 209 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: the shots here. Now we've talked about how the Los 210 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Angeles City Council is being taken over by this mob 211 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: of democrats socialists. We now have three and growing LA unified. 212 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: The Teachers Union UTLA has already taken over by one 213 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: of these people. What was her name, Cecily Myer crush her. 214 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: She's all about social justice. This is a woke warrior. 215 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: And the reason they're doing this is because they want 216 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: the janitors and the cafeteria workers to get a thirty 217 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: percent raise. This is this SEIU union that they're backing 218 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: by having the teachers walk out two or as our 219 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: guests said, otherwise, you have to cross the picket line. 220 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: And that's difficult to do because yeah, John, John mentioned 221 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: don't worry about getting bullied, But that's what will happen 222 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: because they'll do that to you. Well, how about doing 223 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: it to them. An insider says, they are sent us 224 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: an email with a few little details that are worth 225 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: talking about, and it says here, according to this, the 226 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: district has offered to raise the floor. So the minimum 227 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: wage and these again are the workers, the cafeteria workers, 228 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: the janitors is twenty dollars an hour, including offering full 229 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: note cost health benefits for part time employees four or 230 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: more hours a day or eighty hours a month, and 231 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: their dependence. Seius denied this offer. Do you think if 232 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: this were offered to the average worker they would turn 233 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: it down? They want we've mentioned this before, thirty percent raises, 234 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: And here comes the last paragraph of this email. This 235 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: is about demonstrating political power. SEIU wants to be taken 236 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: seriously by the l unified school district. This is a 237 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: way to show their might. However, UTLA is only backing 238 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: sei use demands of a thirty percent raise. For UTLA 239 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: has already planned demonstration because if SEIU gets a thirty 240 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: percent raise for their super super low wage, UTLA can 241 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: say they deserve a thirty percent wage because their average 242 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: salary and benefits is one hundred and thirty thousand or 243 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: six hundred and sixteen dollars. And she actually included a 244 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: PDF where you can look up that salary and benefits 245 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: salary and benefits for a teacher, yes, one hundred thirty 246 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: thousand UTLA teacher is right, right, that's their average benefits 247 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: pay and benefits packages. One hundred and thirty thousand, six 248 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: hundred sixty Yeah. And then with Zoom school, yeah, and 249 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: with Zoom less than that, and they were in they 250 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: were in their pajamas and fuzzy slippers, right, Yeah, So 251 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: it kind of works both ways. It's about social justice. 252 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: We want the janitors to make twenty five thirty dollars 253 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: an hour. But if they get that, we can go 254 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: in there and say, well, we're actually more skilled. We're 255 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: teachers that pay us even more. That's thing. That's what 256 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: I keep telling telling everybody. It is not about social justice. 257 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: It's being used as a tool to get them huge raises. 258 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: It works hand in hand. Doesn't get you justify the 259 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: huge raise by getting the raise for the janitors, Well, 260 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: why do the janitors deserve thirty percent? Well, social justice? 261 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Well no, but they want to use that because it 262 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: makes them seem noble. It gives them a better argument 263 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: with the public. Well, they're just trying to do the 264 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: right thing. These poor, downtrodden janitors. They don't care about 265 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: the janitors. I mean, they don't care about the school kids. 266 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: You tell me they care about the janitors. Of course 267 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: they don't. It's about them. It's about creating a justification 268 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: so they get a thirty percent raise on top of 269 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: one hundred thirty grand a year. An LA Unified school 270 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: district is losing enrollment. I always go back to us talking. 271 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty years ago. They wanted to remember. 272 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: They were in this big building boom. They were putting 273 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: out all these bonds to build all these schools. They 274 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, in twenty years we're gonna 275 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: be overwhelmed, but they'll not be enough space. There'll be 276 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: too many kids in each classroom. We need to build 277 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: and build. Well, twenty years later in the pandemic really 278 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: put the cork in this. They're losing students. They're losing 279 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: actually because during the pandemic, even the sad people have 280 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: to send their kids to the school. District set enough 281 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: this zoom school. As a word, the lockdown lasted the 282 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: longest of like any public school district in the country. 283 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: They kept the kids at home the longest at LA Unified, 284 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: and some parents said that's it. I've had enough. I'm 285 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: not going to send my kids there anymore. We'll either move, 286 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: or we'll find a pie private school, or will do 287 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: something that we have to do. You know, that just 288 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: means that the remaining LA Unified School District students are 289 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: even a tougher situations. Twenty years ago, LAUSD had seven 290 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: hundred thirty seven thousand students. Now twenty years ago when 291 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of when we were talking about now, it's 292 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: four thirty thousand. Oh my god, yeah, seven hundred thousand 293 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: to four hundred thousand. Yeah, so it's they've lost Oh wow, yeah, 294 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was that bad. Yeah, and the 295 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: teachers are making that much more. This is what I mean. 296 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: You're supposed to be paid per pupil. How how come 297 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: the per pupil they got They lost three hundred thousand 298 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: pupil pupils, but the budget went up astronomically. If you're 299 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: getting paid by the pupil, how does that math work 300 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: get three hundred thousand fewer pupils and yet the budget 301 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: has gone berserk And now they're making one hundred thirty 302 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: grand a year for nine months. So now I have 303 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: the details. SCIU Local ninety nine is asking for a 304 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: thirty percent across the board raise. UTLA is asking for 305 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: a twenty percent raise across the next two school years. 306 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: They want ten percent more a year for their teachers. Oh, 307 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: they've got to be kidding. Oh, they're just greedbags in 308 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: a time of declining enrollment, horrible scores, bad graduation rates. 309 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: They don't care. They just because the people who run LAUSD, 310 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: the school board, and the superintendent are pathetic cowards. They 311 00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: don't want to go to the public and make the 312 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: that because what are they going to say? The teachers 313 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: aren't worth it because their school system obviously sucks. Well, 314 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: you run the school system, but you gave the teachers 315 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the power. The school boards has 316 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: no say, the superintended it has no say. It's these 317 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: crazy communist lunatics who are excessively greedy. Well here's one 318 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: ruld to the kids. Cecily Myard Cruise put out a statement, 319 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: she's the UTLA president and a school just to create. 320 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: Eighty six percent of students live in poverty and staff 321 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: salaries aren't nearly enough to pay rent or put food 322 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: on the table. We will stand alongside the members of 323 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: SEIU Local ninety nine, one hundred thirty grand a year. 324 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: The teachers can't pay their rent. No, she's talking about 325 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: the SEIU workers. Well you're not. You can. They claim 326 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: that their average salary is twenty five pound because they're 327 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: serving so many of them are partly. Many of them 328 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: work part time. It's not a full time job. You 329 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: can't there. These jobs are not made for you. To 330 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: have a home and a family. You have to get 331 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: other work. Yeah. Well, my cafeteria ladies were older, but 332 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: they were like like the husband worked. So this is 333 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: just another income for the family. Yeah, you can't use 334 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: it as as as the main income. Obviously you can't. 335 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't have families if you make so 336 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: little money. It's it's not responsible, it's not practical, all right, 337 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: So maybe you should go to San Francisco where they 338 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: may hand out five million dollars to people. Will explain 339 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: what this is. John and Ken caf IAM six forty 340 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: Live Everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John and 341 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: Ken on demand from kf I Am sixty. Well, despite 342 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: the fact that the US government put out a travel 343 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: alert for spring breakers in Mexico, I understand they're being 344 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with college students, Oh ye care about your drug 345 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: violence and showing up anyway to have a good time. Nobody, 346 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: nobody listens to those government warnings. There's also warnings about 347 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: if you take any pills in Mexico be where they 348 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: may very well have fetnyl in them. They're certain ain't 349 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: going to ignore that because it's cheaper as hey, you know, 350 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: it's Darwinism right now, I know. And then and then 351 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: something bad's gonna happen. Everybody's gone. That was a terrible 352 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,719 Speaker 1: listing well, and one of the most outrageous financial stories 353 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: we can find it a long time is coming out 354 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: of where else San Francisco, where the San Francisco Board 355 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: of Supervisors talked for the first time yesterday about reparations. 356 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: The city had assigned an African American Reparations advisory committee 357 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: that came up with a whole bunch of ideas as 358 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: to how to deal with the topic of reparations. And 359 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: it is unbelievable wish list five million dollars to every 360 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: eligible black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, 361 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: guaranteed annual incomes at least ninety seven thousand dollars for 362 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: two hundred fifty years, and homes in the city for 363 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: just a dollar a family. More than one hundred recommendations 364 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: were made by this committee. That's fine, I don't can 365 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: do it. This story. It's However, the supervisors embraced some 366 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: of the recommendations and said, we don't care about the cost. 367 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: This is the right thing to do. Well, where do 368 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: you get the money from? Well, let's go through some 369 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: of the numbers, because that's a really good question. The 370 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: numbers are astounded astonishing. If just even fifty percent of 371 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: the city's nearly forty five thousand black residents met the 372 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: requirement to get the money, the city would be looking 373 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: at one hundred and twelve and a half billion dollars 374 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: a bill. Comparison, San Francisco's entire budget for the current 375 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: fiscal year is just fourteen billion. The bushet for the 376 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: Estate of California is three hundred and eight billion. So 377 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: how are they going to pay one hundred and twelve 378 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars? They're not. This is just 379 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: a joke. This is a gag here. I thought the 380 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: supervisors would say, thank you for your recommendations and just 381 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: table this but now they're saying, no, let's look at 382 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: this five million a person. It's virtue signaling because if 383 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: you voted down, you're a racist. So you just keep 384 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: voting yes, and you tell everybody, well, I believe in reparations. 385 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: They know, yeah, but what about it? I mean, but 386 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: five million, wouldn't one person on the board say that 387 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: seems a little bit high? No, No, because because you're 388 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: talking about double digitiq. Like I was trying to point 389 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: out before every book about super Woke bend over backwards. Yeah, 390 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: it's it's it. If the city paid every black resident 391 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: five million, they'd be on the hook for two hundred 392 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: and twenty three billion. That's two hundred and sixty three 393 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for every non black person in the city. 394 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: That's what they'd have to shell out to cover this. California, 395 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: of course, was never officially a slave state. That's brought 396 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: up many times. Although there were people here with slaves, 397 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: we were not as slaves. This is not Alabama we're 398 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: talking about anyway. No, you you'd have to, um, do 399 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: you know what this is also about? Though I didn't 400 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: see this until I started scoping through another article. It's 401 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: not just reparations for the effects of slavery. John, it's 402 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: for the failed war on drugs. So if you can 403 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: show that you had a family member who was incarcerated 404 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: in the failed war on drugs, you might get money too. Oh, 405 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: this is this is all just silly. I mean just 406 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: really is silly. This is like woke is now peeking 407 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: into absurdity that now it's the whole thing's a farce. Well, 408 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: that's why I hope this story gets a lot of 409 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: attentions in the country. Realizes um, because I hate to 410 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: tell you this, I didn't get the name of the polster, 411 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: but sixty percent of people approve of woke according to 412 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: this poll. Yeah, but they it was the way the 413 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: question was worded. It was well, it was roman about justice, 414 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: and they worded it so that it was all these 415 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: positive attributes that you would feel bad if you said 416 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: no to it. That was a ust pole. Well that's 417 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: what they do because because because wokeism is so unpopular, now, 418 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, the woke journalists are going to come up 419 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: with a fake pole to say say, most Americans approving 420 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. No, they don't stop it. Several 421 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: supervisors were surprised to hear pushback from politically liberal San Franciscans. Apparently, 422 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: they said, unaware of the legacy of slavery and racist 423 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: policies that keep Black Americans on the bottom rung of health, education, 424 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: and economic prosperity, you know, and they're overrepresented in prisons 425 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: and homeless. There are so many Black Americans who are 426 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: successful and have good jobs and own homes and race 427 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: families because they chose to live life a certain way. 428 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't accept anybody's excuse ever, 429 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: especially if you live in America. All right, ye have 430 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: no excuse. There's a pretty good short list of rules 431 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: to abide by and you'll do well enough. I am. 432 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: I have fed up with everybody's victimhood, everybody's reasons. All 433 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: they want. You just have a group that wants free 434 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: money here. I mean five billion dollars. That's a billion, 435 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, And where where's the journalists instead of these 436 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: idiot journalists. I can see the fraudsters coming here and 437 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: setting themselves up black people as the front to present 438 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: fake documents that they've been in San Francisco, and they 439 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: qualify nobody million man. That's a lottery win and not 440 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: no media no writer, no reporter, ask a supervisor on 441 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: the record on camera, where are you getting the money? 442 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: It doesn't exist. It's like giving you a housing to 443 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: every homeless person doesn't exist. That's not possible, right. This 444 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: is just a wish list and silly a way to 445 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: stand there and look like you know it is a 446 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: virtue signal. It is the way to put it. It 447 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: is a drug that people are on feeling morally superior 448 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: because they're on the right saw of an important social issue. 449 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: It gives them some kind of high they think gives 450 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: them status. I don't know what. It's stupid. Well, the 451 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: only truth of this is the number of people who 452 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: are homeless or who are in prison in the US 453 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: is actually low compared to the total population, but they 454 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: are disproportionately black. That's a truth either, yes, but that's 455 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: it comes down to did each individual commit the crime 456 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: or not? And then why did they commit the crime? 457 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: Not interested in why did you commit the crime? See 458 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: the Wokester is argued because the circumstances caused by your 459 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: racist No no, no, it's not caused by anything. It's 460 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: caused by you decided you're gonna whack that guy in 461 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: the head. You're gonna do. You decided you're gonna walk 462 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: into the store and steal stuff. You decided it. That's 463 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: why it happened. You might be interested to know that 464 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: the Chicago suburb of Evanston, I think that's where Northwestern 465 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: University is became the first US city to fund reparations. 466 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: They gave money to qualifying people for home repairs, down payments, 467 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: and interest or late penalties. In December, the Boston City 468 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: Council approved a reparation Studying task Force. But if San 469 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: Francisco advances with this plan, this would dwarf everything they 470 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: can't because you'd have most of San Francisco moving out. Yeah, 471 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: as soon as they found out, and it's going to 472 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: cost him a couple hundred thousand dollars per resident. You're right, 473 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: how are they going to confiscate that money? What are 474 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: they going to confiscate it out of your bank account? 475 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: They're going to confiscate your home. Well, they're gonna raise taxes, 476 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: is what they would do. Probably, Yeah, find a way 477 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: to raise property taxes, which means you sell your house 478 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: and you move out. That's what people do, That's what 479 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: I would do. That's what normal, sane people because yeah, 480 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: how come then, I mean they recalled the bad DA 481 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: up there on the school board members should be reacting 482 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: to this too. I don't know. I don't understand. I 483 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: know somebody who lives up there, and they say that 484 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: people in San Francisco are by nature very sour, dour, 485 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: just in bad moods easily, and they hate LA people. Yeah, no, 486 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's just a I tell people this. LA 487 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: people don't care or talk about San Francisco people not much, 488 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: but by San Francisco Bay Area people hate LA people.

We had an anonymous LAUSD teacher explain how 505 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: so many of the teachers don't give a crap and 506 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: they're going to go on strike for three days.

The vote was approved in the Senate. 509 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: If because three Democrats voted no, so if all the 510 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: Republicans had voted no, and apparently seven of them voted yes, 511 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: he would not have been approved. Was this like a 512 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Republican plot to deport him? Oh? I don't know, it's impossible. 513 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: I have no idea.

If you 517 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: remember years ago when people started saying, stop using the 518 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: plastic grocery bags and stop using the even the paperback, 519 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: bring your own the bag, right the cloth bag. I 520 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: know and you made fun of people who did. Yes, 521 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: and then we found out years later there's a problem 522 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: with that. They get really dirty and full of bacteria. Yeah. Well, 523 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: now there's a similar story that's percolating people that reuse 524 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: their water bottles. Here's the headline, reusable water bottles hold 525 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: forty thousand times more bacteria than a toilet seat. By 526 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: that o't to make you put it down. I never 527 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: used those either. A toilet seat. Oh, A portable portable 528 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: water bottle, yes, yes, they call them portable Petrie dishes. 529 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: According to researchers from Walter I'm sorry water filter guru 530 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: dot com, they got the results by swabbing different parts 531 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: of a water bottle, the spout lid, the straw lid, 532 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: and the squeezetop lid three times each and they found 533 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: that your reusable water bottle contains twice as many germs 534 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: as the kitchen sink, four times as a computer mouse 535 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: compared to your pets drinking bowl. And that's fourteen times 536 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: more bacteria. Ye. Now, the squeeze top bottles were the cleanest, 537 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: the worst for the screw top up and the straw 538 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: fitted lid bottles. But I know there are people that 539 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 1: walk around and said, yell, and I'm gonna drink water. 540 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it from the fountain, and I'm gonna 541 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: put my reusable bottle with me because I'm environmentally sensitive. 542 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: Then what did we also find out? John a very 543 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: gross story about what janitors might do if you leave 544 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: your reusable water bottle on the desk overnight. There's they 545 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: relieve themselves in there. They add ingredients, they do personal 546 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: protein ingredients. Apparently they do. Yeah, So the answer here 547 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: is the same as with the stupid cloth grocery bag. 548 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: You have to wash it, and a lot of people 549 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: are too lazy to do that. See, I use plass 550 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: at least once a day with hot, silpy water. I'm 551 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: not gonna do that. I use plas. You don't use 552 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: the You don't use a reusable I don't use a 553 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: reusable anything. And I'll tell you when I see when 554 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: I see a guy standing in front of me, and 555 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: you'll see this in Whole Foods with with a reusable bag. 556 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking and I'm thinking, weener, just throbbing weener. I 557 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: do just as many as I used to. It just 558 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: seems embarrassing. Why don't you walk around with your manhood severed. 559 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just so. But it's all right for 560 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: ladies then, yeah, that is that is that is a 561 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: lady thing to do. Yes, they can have reusable cloth bags. 562 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: But men, you you you've crossed the line with John 563 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: Cobelt's judgments. It's right, yeah, you've become something less. You 564 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: have a cloth bag and you have a reusable water bottle. 565 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't I don't ever want to talk 566 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: to you.

It was the reusable crowd of spreading. 575 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: It would take a wild guess here, Tim, you're not 576 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: a guy who uses reusable cloth bags at the grocery store, 577 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: are no, no, no, no, no no, no no no no, 578 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: I don't even bring my own plastic bags him, No, nobody, 579 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: nobody does that.
