One things that's one 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: of the things that's always fascinated me about military history 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: and military campaigns is supply lines. It's not something you 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: think about when you think about military history, Ryan, I 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: certainly didn't before I started all the reading and things 27 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: like that I do. I talk about history on my 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: radio show every single day. It's naturally syndicated not to 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: Brant but supply lines. When you think about war, and 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: when I think about war, you think about bullets and bombs. 31 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: When it comes to older war, you're talking about swords 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and shields and knights and armor and catapults and city 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: walls and all these cool things. Braveheart faces painted blue 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: running across the field. You never think about food, water, 35 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: where they sleep at night. You never think about the 36 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: supplies they need for the horses. Do you remember how 37 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: many times have you seen people riding horses? Well, horses 38 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: have to eat, horses need things, and you don't think 39 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: about that. And I don't think about that. But the 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: truth is this, and this is a saying from an 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: old Marine Corps general. I forget his name, so instead 42 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give myself all the credit for it, he said. 43 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: Amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics. Supply lines are not 44 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: a small thing. Supply lines are often the only thing 45 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: that matters. Speaking of history, this is really cool part 46 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: about Julius Caesar. Just let me near it out for 47 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: a second before we get to it. I'm going somewhere 48 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: with this. There's this really cool story about Julius Caesar 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: and he's up in Gaul modern day France, and he's 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: taking over all of Gaul. I mean, branded he really 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: didn't have to, but look that's what he did. And 52 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: he's taking over Gaul and taking over Gaul, and he's 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: laying siege to this little Gallic fort and he finds 54 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: out that his forty thousand men or so have just 55 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: got two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand man army coming 56 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: to attack them, coming to relieve the Gallic fort. And 57 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: Julius Caesar doesn't panic. He just builds up an extra 58 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: wall to keep the two hundred thousand away and he waits. 59 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Now I know what you're thinking, well, why would he wait? 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: And Julius Caesar had this idea of how are they 61 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: going to feed two hundred thousand men. How are they 62 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: going to drink water? How are they going to supply 63 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand men in the army just kind of disappeared. 64 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: Supply lines are everything, and we have a culture war 65 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: going on in the United States of America. And the 66 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: truth is this. I know it's a hard truth, but 67 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: it is something you have to hear if we're ever 68 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: going to fix it. The leftists own the supply lines 69 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: of this culture because the leftists own the education system. 70 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: They own it, all of it. And I do mean 71 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: all of it. I'm not just talking about your crazy 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: nutball college professor or the last headline you saw about 73 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: this college professor said this, or this college professor said that. 74 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's down to your elementary school. I saw 75 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: something today a father talking about his seven year old 76 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: child learning in class about white privilege and how evil 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: he was for being white. They are going after your kids. 78 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: They own the education system. Why do you think we're 79 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: in the situation we're in, especially with American corporations, I hear, 80 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: I get your emails. Why do you think corporations are 81 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: constantly putting out these leftist statements all the time. Well, 82 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: if you're the CEO of a major corporation. You didn't 83 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: just magically with fairy dust appear there one day. You 84 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: had an upbringing, you had a childhood. And the truth 85 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: is this, if you put your kids in a government 86 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: school at the age of five or six, they're going 87 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: to have seven eight hours a day up to the 88 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: time they graduate high school of sometimes subtly sometimes not 89 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: learning how much America kind of sucks, and learning that 90 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: America's racists, as homophobic and misogynistic and all these things. 91 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: And then they're gonna move on from that school and 92 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: they're going to move into college, and then they're gonna 93 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: really find out not only that America sucks and sucks bad, 94 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: they're going to be told it's their duty to do 95 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: something about it, to be active. Of Leftists are activists. 96 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Leftists are not passive about it. And that person's going 97 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: to move on from college, and he's going to go 98 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: to this fortune five hundred company or that fortune five 99 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: hundred company, and he's going to start in the mail 100 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: room wherever people start, and he's going to work his 101 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: way up and soon he's a forty forty five fifty 102 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: year old CEO. And he hasn't changed his mind about 103 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: these things. As soon as you put that little leftist 104 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: commy out into the system, when he leaves a college campus, 105 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: he will spend the rest of his life affecting and 106 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: infecting the system. And that is why we have what 107 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: we have. There is no other argument to have in 108 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: the United States of America unless we address the education problem. 109 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: I have a million and one issues I'm passionate about. 110 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: Do you hear me talk to you about it all 111 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: the time. I care about immigration, taxes, spending, abortion. I 112 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: care about all these things, and I care about them 113 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: a lot and more. None of that matters unless we 114 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: take back the education system. Because they're learning in school 115 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: early and often about leftism. They're learning that it's great 116 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: and people on the right suck, and America sucks, and 117 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: you know what, it would be better if this country 118 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: never even existed. And then we look around and we 119 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: wonder why I can't even turn on a football game 120 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: anymore without being waterboarded with leftist crap during the game, 121 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: during the commercial breaks after the game, you look around 122 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: and say to yourself, it does everyone hate this place? Yeah? 123 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: And they learned it somewhere. Oftentimes they didn't learn it 124 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: at home because they didn't have to. So let me 125 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: ask you before we go into a couple of little 126 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: things here, what's your child learning in school? Where's your 127 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: child going to school? Do you ask your child about 128 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: what they're learning. I don't have my kids in government schools, 129 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: and I still ask mine all the time. What are 130 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: you listening to? What are you watching? What's that little 131 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: video you're watching? Oh? History class? Oh you're learning about 132 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: the Revolutionary War? What are they teaching you about the 133 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: Revolutionary War? I don't mean you have to sit them 134 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: under a heat lamp and interrogate them. Ask your child questions. 135 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: You may be shocked, you may be horrified about what 136 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: you find out. If we're ever going to take this 137 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: country back, and I'm talking about the culture that we 138 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: have lost, we have to take back the education system 139 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: because that is the supply line for the nation. Until 140 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: we take that back, nothing else matters. Oh and by 141 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: the way that I mentioned, they're after your kids, and 142 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: they're after them on purpose. Here's somebody. We have never 143 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: invested as much in public education as we should have 144 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. 145 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: Your kids is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't 146 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: had a very collective notion of these are our children. 147 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: So part of it is we have to break through 148 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, 149 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids 150 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not 151 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: just the households, then we start making better investments. Oh 152 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: my word, No, your kids don't belong to a community. 153 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: And there's a reason they're always pushing that notion. The 154 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: reason is they want to raise your kids. Leftists are 155 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: not in control of the education system of this country 156 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: by accident, and it is important that you remember that. 157 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: Remember what I told you. How many times have I 158 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: told you this. Leftists don't look at anything and say 159 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: to themselves, ah, we shouldn't go there, We'll leave that alone. 160 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: Been your children. Leftists do not look at your children 161 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: and think, wow, I mean, that's that's John's kid. Oh, 162 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: that's Sarah's kid. I'm sure they'll work it out. They 163 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: look at your children and say, hmmm, well we better 164 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: teach them what we believe, hadn't we They're in the 165 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: education system on purpose. You remember those people who kneel 166 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: down in front of a bunch of black people begging 167 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: for white forgiveness during the George Floyd fiasco. Look at 168 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: this video, you remember this. No, God, he's no longer 169 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: to be here. Get under legacy. You're not riding in God. 170 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: You're not saving anybody. Guys, You're just opening ourselves before you. 171 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Guess more. You brought the thundering rain today, got up 172 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: saying takes the hell of to day. Mother Indeeds's name, 173 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: and you've been the Big three. Oh mother, we have 174 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: some beginning from our black brothers still work years and 175 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: years of rain, system systematic racism. You don't get like 176 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: that as a grown man overnight. You get like that 177 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: after years, in years and years of learning how bad 178 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: you suck. Let's take it back. All of that may 179 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right joining me now. 180 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: Former Congressman and current Dean of Business at the Great 181 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: Liberty University, Dave Brad Congressman. I get people emailing me 182 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: all the time asking about my plans for my kids 183 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,119 Speaker 1: post high school. People are understandably turned off by colleges 184 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: in this country. What should parents? I mean, look, you're 185 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: a freaking dean. What should a parent be looking at 186 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: when it when it comes to potentially sitting there kids 187 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: to school. Everyone knows they'll be fine at Liberty. What 188 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: if they can't go to Liberty? What if it's too 189 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: far away, what if they can't afford it? What if 190 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: all those things? What questions should a parent be asking 191 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: to make sure their kids aren't going to a comedy 192 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: training camp? Yeah, well that's a great question right there. 193 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: I mean, go online to Liberty, go to a school 194 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: you trust, man, How do you know what school to trust? 195 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Go to the mission statement? Read the mission statement of 196 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: the school. And if it's a bunch of gobbligue book, 197 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: you know you got a mess on your hand, right Harvard? 198 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: Back in sixteen forty, the mission statement and the motto 199 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: was truth for Christ in Church. Now, I don't know 200 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: what it is right now. It's gone through Summer hermaanutical 201 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: meat slicer and the Frankfurt School, the Marxist, the Neo Marxists, 202 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: and it's right now I'm actually being serious. There is 203 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: a language war going on the new Left. The Neo 204 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: Marxists are fighting through the creation of language games and philosophy. 205 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: It's called deconstruction, etc. And the goal isn't to represent 206 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: the truth anymore. And now they'll just tell you that. 207 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: They just come out and say that the American Pragmatist 208 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: petition Roorty is the big name there. People can go 209 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: look them up. And the goal is just language is 210 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: a tool to help you achieve your objective. And the 211 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: Left they're the objective is power and so Higher Ed 212 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: is basically admitted that. So they're not teaching the kids 213 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: about truth or history or religion or ethics that has 214 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: any foundation anymore. They're just saying, hey, we want to 215 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: achieve power. Here are our goals. We're gonna call them 216 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: neat terms like aiders and you know, or or we're 217 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: for freedom, or we're for human emancipation or the or 218 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: against the oppressors. If you hear any of that language, 219 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: you're you know, you're dealing with the neo Marxists stuff 220 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: for real. And if they won't come out and teach 221 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: about the Founders, for example, that's a dead giveaway. If 222 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: they won't teach about human rights, the human rights tradition, 223 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: which is at a centuries long legacy and philosophy and education, 224 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: you know you're on the wrong track. If they won't 225 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: tell you what system of ethics they believe in. If 226 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: they just say the word ethics, you know you're dealing 227 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: with the Marxist. Right. There's Confucian ethics, there's Christian ethics, 228 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: there's utilitarian ethics. You can have a good debate amongst 229 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: all those schools. They all differ, and your mind will 230 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: become enriched by studying the difference. But if they just 231 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: say we do ethics and we tell your kid to 232 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: be good, run away like crazy. And parents may not 233 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: know that that's the new trick. The Marxists, you know, 234 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: they're very clever. They don't teach Marxism because the systems failed, 235 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: and so they teach all these new studies. Anytime you 236 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: see of course that's got something studies in it, run 237 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: for the hills. And now parents who can see the 238 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: course the best thing, go on to your kid. Go 239 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: on to your kids college course right now when it's online, 240 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: and watch the professor and if you're horrified, transfer soon. 241 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: That was incredibly helpful. I hope everybody rewinds that again, 242 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: especially when people were thinking about sending your kids off 243 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: to school. You brought up Confucian studies. Now I'm too 244 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: stupid and uneducated, don't know anything about Confucius. But I 245 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,239 Speaker 1: continue to hear this Confucius studies thing in the headlines 246 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: all the time. They're busting these Chinese comedy professors. What's 247 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: happening with this? What is it? Yeah? Well, I was 248 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: actually referring to the real deal confusion ethics, where you know, 249 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: kids were taught to respect their elders, and there were 250 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: manners and there were forms of behavior that were respectful 251 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: of tradition and of proper thinking in the Chinese tradition. 252 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's not being taught anywhere, and I would 253 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: like that a nice discussion ethics is fine, But what 254 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: is being taught at these confucious institutes that's all over 255 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: the headlines is just straight importation of the Chinese Communist Party. Right. 256 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: They're putting Confucius institutes across the country in Harvard and 257 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Yale and all these schools that accept that gladly, and 258 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: then they run the Marxist mantra through your kids, and 259 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: they start teaching the language and the culture and all 260 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: the buzzwords, and it just seeps in until eventually your 261 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: country is no longer recognizable and we're getting there. How 262 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: did it seep in? I mean, obviously Harvard didn't wake 263 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: up one day and think, I think we need to 264 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: invite the Commies in here. So how does Harvard all 265 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden have a Confucius Institute? How does that? 266 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: How does that process look? Yeah, well that one's easier 267 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: to describe because if you look at the number of 268 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: Chinese intellects at Harvard, the number is actually staggering, and 269 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: if you multiply that by one hundred thousand each per year, 270 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: you get the simple it's just economics, right, But it's 271 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: much deeper than that. The Chinese wrote a book, you know, 272 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety nine called Unrestricted Warfare. Everybody should 273 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: download it for free as a PDF file and go read. 274 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: They said, we're at war with you. It's an information war. 275 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: We saw what you guys did go Iraq and the 276 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: Gulf War. Hats off to you're the best. So we're 277 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: not gonna fight like that. We're gonna cheat. We're gonna 278 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: steal your intellectual property. We're gonna copy every one of 279 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: your designs. We're gonna go into your businesses, under sell them, 280 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: copy their product, sell it on Amazon, put you guys 281 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: out of business to take over. And while we're at it, 282 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: they mentioned, you know, nine to eleven and stuff back 283 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine, and so do the math on 284 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: that one. And so they're at war with us, our 285 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: countries at slate and we need to wake up. It's 286 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: time to wake up. Should a parent tell their kid 287 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: to go to college today? What decision making process should 288 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: a parent go through and whether or not their kids 289 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: should even go to college? Because I'll tell you, I 290 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: think I grew up in one of the last generations 291 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: where it was just assumed that's what you did. You 292 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: don't want to be the kid who didn't go to college. 293 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: And I got a zero point zero grade point average 294 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: my first semester. I had no business being anywhere near 295 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: a college campus. But it's what everybody did. What should 296 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: a parent do today? Right? Yeah, Well, you know, back 297 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: in the day, you know, Johnny and Mary went off, 298 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: and you know, there were these cute little Marxist ideas 299 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: that were floating around and it was funny. Now it's 300 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: not funny anymore. So your question is is on the mark? 301 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: And so you know, you got to go to your 302 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: first principles as a family, whatever your first principles are. 303 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: You know, mine are religious. They talked to your kid 304 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: and you say, hey, why are you on this planet 305 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: in the first place? And then you get an answer 306 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: to that, and then you say, okay, how do you 307 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: how do you where are your gifts? What gifts you have, 308 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: what talent you have, where your passions? What do you 309 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: like reading? And you know, how do you pick yourself 310 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: in twenty years? And you start trying to discern what 311 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: your career path is going to look like, and then 312 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: you train yourself in to try to hit that preper path. 313 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: And so you know, I'd be more practical like that, 314 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: and this four year liberal arts study. I'm a huge 315 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: fan of the liberal arts that came out of the Greeks, right, 316 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the Greeks believed in human reason, Socrates and 317 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: Plato and Aristotle, the whole. That's a great love. Go 318 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: read that, but you won't get any of that right, 319 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: that the truth is actually true and you should base 320 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: your life on reason, you know, the Stoics. I mean, 321 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: there's just grand traditions that come out of the Greeks, 322 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: and then the Renaissance and the Reformation and all that. 323 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: I love it, but your kid is not getting any 324 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: of that. At Harvard and the Humanities anymore, and they're 325 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: getting that all of that is bad. Reason was imposed 326 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: on you. Mathematics is a white male creation, eight eye 327 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: test board that are used to discriminate against people, etc. 328 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: Right when in fact, the United States and the capitalist 329 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: system has done more for the poorest of the poor 330 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: than any system imaginable. Or having this debate over computers 331 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: right now, because we're so rich. Every kid there's no 332 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: upper bound. Every kid can be rich. But you gotta 333 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: say business is good, business is morally good. If you 334 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: think business is morally bad, you're not going to excel 335 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: because you're up against what you're What you're saying is 336 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: is bad. Right, If a kid thinks business is bad, 337 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: why would you want to aim at that? If you 338 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: think it's morally good and worthwhile. Boy, I'm gonna put 339 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: some time and effort into that so I'd be practical 340 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: trying to line up your kid. Yeah, being a business 341 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: liberty University. I apologize I interrupted you there at the end. Congressman. 342 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: You know I love the sign of my own boys. 343 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: Steve rat thank you, sir. Hey, you guys are great 344 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: for having a segment on this good work. Jesse appreciate you. 345 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: All Right, we got more. I'll be back joining me now. 346 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: Is the senior policy analyst for the Independent Women's Forum 347 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: and as stepman. It is. If I can say anything 348 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: positive about this country's absolutely idiotic coronavirus response, it's the 349 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: parents aren't setting their kids back to government schools, whether 350 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: by choice or otherwise. Is this a big positive for 351 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: the country like I think it is. Look, I think 352 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: teachers unions have really really overplayed their hand on this one. 353 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: I have a piece in the American Mind detailing why 354 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: I think teachers unions in this country have largely decided 355 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: that they think that they can deliver the same kind 356 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: of shoddy distance learning to parents as people put up 357 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: with last spring, and that parents and then actually try 358 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: to foreclose any other alternatives like homeschooling, like pods and 359 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: potting up in groups. They think that they can give 360 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: us no options. They think that they can give parents 361 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: absolutely no options and no way out, and they'll keep 362 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: their market share and sadly for them, but I think 363 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: happily for the country, I think that's actually not going 364 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: to happen. I think they're actually going to see an 365 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: exodus from public schools as fall as they don't reopen 366 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: what does that mean for public schools, because if people 367 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: are exiting, the funds are still coming, right, I mean, 368 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: we don't allocate funds to public schools on a per 369 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: pupil basis, or do we do? So the whole battle 370 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: in school choice is whether parents should be able to 371 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: take some of those funds and actually use it for 372 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: an alternative educational environment, whether that's a private school that 373 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: might be reopening or a pandemic applod supported by some 374 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: state funds so then hire a teacher or tutor for 375 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: a small group of students learning in person, or whether 376 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: that's homeschooling. What they're fighting is are those dollars actually 377 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: following the student instead of flowing to the system. But 378 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: the system still has to show that it has students 379 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: enrolled in order to get some funds. Some funds aren't 380 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: based on the per people allocation, but some of their 381 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: money is. And that's why they're so terrified right now. 382 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: That's why you see a lot of posts on social 383 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: media from school districts begging parents not to unenroll their kids, 384 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: even though those school districts are not doing much to 385 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: then meet parents halfway in terms of the concerns that 386 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: they have about their kids continuing what most people have 387 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: pretty much decided was a complete failure in terms of 388 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: distance learning in the spring, and they decided that for 389 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: very good reasons. Actually, a lot of schools didn't even 390 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: implement distance learning, and those who did, parents seem to 391 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: think have done a pretty poor job of it. Well, 392 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: they have them a terrible job of it, but it 393 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: is I have to ask, if you're in a teachers 394 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: union and you're mad about parents pulling their kids out 395 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: of school, then why are you also out there protesting 396 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: in the streets saying all the kids are going to 397 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: die if they go back to school. If you're worried 398 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: about kids seeking an alternative, get your butt backing class 399 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: and teach. Yeah. Well, unfortunately we're seeing teachers unions just 400 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: try to pour close those options by force rather than 401 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: actually meet parents halfway. And actually, you know, every poll 402 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: shows that parents are actually concerned about the coronavirus. They're 403 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: not downplaying that any potential risks of reopening. What they 404 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: are looking at are their risks to their children from 405 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: not being able to socialize, especially young children with other 406 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: peers their age, Their risks to their child's education and 407 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: long term trajectory if they continue to learn not anything 408 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: from the public school as they did for a lot 409 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: of families in the spring, and they're also looking at 410 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of families now have to go 411 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: back to work, and so all of those concerns. If 412 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: teachers unions, I think had met parents halfway, had had 413 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: tried to put in some kind of mitigation strategies, had 414 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: had some kind of hybrid model, and I think parents 415 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: would have been happy to meet them halfway on a 416 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: lot of these kinds of safety related questions. But instead 417 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: they went ahead and demanded things that have absolutely nothing 418 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: to do with the pandemic. Some of the demands from 419 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: the teachers unions are about defunding the police right or 420 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: Medicare for all. It's it's been a completely obvious political 421 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: ploy and I think parents are really enraged by that. 422 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: They would have been willing to work with schools, to 423 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: work with teachers unions on issues surrounding COVID nineteen, but 424 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: this is just transparently political right that the schools are 425 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: not opening because we haven't defunded the police yet. This 426 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: is just hostage taking. It's political hostage taking, and parents 427 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't take it. How the teachers unions get so much 428 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: power in this country and as and you can feel 429 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: free to expand a little bit because I honestly I 430 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: look at them and I'm horrified by them at all times. 431 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: They're always doing stuff that has nothing to do with 432 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: the kids. They're clearly just another democratic arm, another arm 433 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party, and they have so much weight. 434 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: How did they get that kind of weight? Well, I 435 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: think the answer is really two separate threads. One is, 436 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: of course, the old warning that FDR gave about allowing 437 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: public sector unionization and how different that is from private 438 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: sector unions. Right, a private sector union actually has to, 439 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, sort of negotiate with somebody who's who's um, 440 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, has oppositional interests, Right, If you're negotiating with management, 441 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: management has their their eye on the bottom line, And 442 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: there's sort of a natural limit and a natural balance 443 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: between a private sector union negotiating for labor and management 444 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: and capital. On the other side, in the public sector, 445 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: and that's not the case, right, they're essentially negotiating. On 446 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: the other side of the table are politicians who are 447 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: all too happy to give them what they want so 448 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: that they can go ahead and help them with their 449 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: reelection campaign, so there's no oppositional bargaining in any public 450 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: sector unions and as teachers unions included. But I think 451 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: a lesser known piece of this is actually how well 452 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: all these groups on the left stick together in the 453 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: state legislative context. Right, you can call it intersectionality, you 454 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: can call it whatever you want, but teachers unions sign 455 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: on to hundreds of bills every year in the state legislatures, 456 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: if not thousands, that have nothing to do with schools. 457 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: They are good coalition partners to every social leftist issue 458 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: out there, and in turn, when they are fighting for 459 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: even more money, even though funding for education is increased 460 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: by two or three times over the last several decades, 461 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, every leftist group comes out to bat for them, 462 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: and that makes them a more formidable lobbying coalition. Oftentimes 463 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: in the states, whereas the right tends to have okay, 464 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: there's like a pro life group over here, and a 465 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: pro gun group over here, and a group that fights 466 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: for lower taxes, and none of them really like sign 467 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 1: on to each other's issues, and they're all sort of 468 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: fighting on their own, whereas the left really does in 469 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: state legislators. At firsthand, the left really does stick together, 470 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: and that makes them more powerful in terms of lobbying 471 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: and state legislatures. What would it take to bust up 472 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: public sector unions? I think it would really really move 473 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: this country forward leaps and bounds if we could. What 474 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: would it take to get rid of them? I mean, 475 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: they exist by legislative fiat, and they could easily be 476 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: repealed by the same right, you could create a public 477 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: sector where everybody is at will employment and that's just 478 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: the end of it. To Georgia, for in sample of 479 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: the state of Georgia, way back in the nineties, they 480 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: actually decided that every new state employee, including teachers, would 481 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: be phased in as a at will employee. Right, so 482 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: the same conditions that most of us in America work under. 483 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's a voluntary arrangement. I'm agreeing to work 484 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: for independent women's for them, they're agreeing to pay me, 485 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 1: and either one of us can terminate that relationship at 486 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: any time. That's not the norm in most state employment 487 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: or in federal employment for that now. There's all kinds 488 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: of protections put in place by unions, but by legislative decision, 489 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: the states could change that overnight if they wanted to. 490 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: And in fact, some states don't really have teachers unions. 491 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: They have teachers like sort of organizations. And indeed, in 492 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: those states, even though those groups are still quite powerful, 493 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: they're much less powerful than in the states that actually 494 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: have a formal unionization and public employees. Can we do 495 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: anything federally about it? Is it unconstitutional? Why can't we 496 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: get an amendment to the Constitution or something, Well, we 497 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: could certainly do something about it federally. I tend to 498 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: balk at any kind of federal intrusion into education anymore 499 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: than they already have, partially because of constitutional concerns and 500 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: also because, I mean, their record of failure is just 501 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: miles long. I mean, starting from the first interventions in 502 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: the Great Society, sort of every step along the way 503 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: has been dictated by the previous step, which failed. And 504 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: then the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan. 505 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: And so I'm started for to endorse any federal involvement 506 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: anymore than it already has. The Feds already haven't involved 507 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: themselves with education, but certainly the federal government actually and 508 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: you and I've talked about this before, I mean, Congress 509 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: should absolutely put federal employees closer to that at will 510 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: sort of employment. Right now, federal employees are basically impossible 511 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: to fire. It takes about two years, and there's a 512 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: chart a mile long with a bunch of different you know, 513 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,239 Speaker 1: squiggles and stuff, and that's to fire people even for 514 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: like the most basic of incompetencies. So yeah, absolutely we 515 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: could move in the federal level, we could move towards 516 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: more at will employment. Just like again, you're at will, 517 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm at will. We're all working at will. It's just 518 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: government employees apparently who are unable to work at will employment. 519 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: Not me. The first is actually tried to get rid 520 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: of me. I just keep locking myself in the studio 521 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: and turning the cameras on. So here I am every 522 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: single night, and as stepman, thank you so much, thanks 523 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: so much for having me, Jessee. We're not done. We'll 524 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: be joining me now. Editor at Large of Red State, 525 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: Kira Davis. Kira, first of all, is that an actual 526 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: flower in your hair? It is a manufactured flower. It's 527 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: a plastic flower, and probably a violation of about forty 528 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: three California environmental laws right now, but it doesn't matter 529 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: because it looks key. You know, we weren't going to 530 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: start there, but we might as well start there. I 531 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: find this to be one of the most buried stories 532 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: in the United States of America, that California, who by itself, 533 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: if it were in its own country, has the fifth 534 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: largest economy in the world, and yet they have brownouts 535 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: right now. People are running out of power and being 536 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: told to turn off the air conditioning. How's that humanly possible? 537 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: It's insane. Like it's literally driving me crazy, Jesse, Like 538 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm filled with rage every day. Right now, while me 539 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: and you are talking, there is a house in orbit 540 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: that has people living in it, and we can communicate 541 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: with them on the space station. In about two seconds. 542 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: We just launched a private mission to space. We have 543 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: vehicles on Mars. It is twenty twenty. Don't tell me 544 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: we can't keep the power on, to keep the AC on. 545 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: It's insane. But of course, the problem here, Jesse, is 546 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: that we canceled all of our reliable power here. We 547 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: ended reliance on gas, We closed our nuclear power plant, 548 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: which was doing fantastic, and we switched to a third 549 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: of our grid on solar, which I guess no one 550 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: thought to think about the fact that the sun goes 551 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: down at night. So at night when things should be 552 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: getting easier, when things should be getting cooler, here, we're 553 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: actually having the brownouts at night because the grid goes 554 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: down at night because we can't support all the ac 555 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: that people use to sleep peacefully. Believe me, we're all 556 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: laughing at Californians while I am sorry that you have 557 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: to live through this. Why are you still enduring this? Kira? 558 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: Why are you not already here in Texas? You know 559 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: what I haven't done yet here in Houston turned off 560 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: the power in the summertime. You know, it's not just 561 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: missus Davis here. There's a mister Davis, and he's got 562 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: his own thing going on. So the day I get 563 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: to be in charge of where we move will be gone. 564 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: But I'm not in charge of that decision right now. 565 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: Your kids education, I know you have kiddos. I have kiddos. 566 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: What are you doing as far as their education goes? 567 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: Because I think it's unable at this point in time. 568 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: That is really the big wind the leftist scott in 569 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: this country when they took over the education system, they 570 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: have absolutely I mean, look, we have generations plural now 571 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: of Americans with no concept of our history or freedom 572 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: or anything else. What do you do as a parent 573 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:24,439 Speaker 1: today with your kids. I'm homeschooling. I've got one that's 574 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: going off to college and well hopefully fingers crossed a 575 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and I mean we're we're still it's 576 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: still up in the air, like we don't even know 577 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: if he has housing. We had to reapply for housing 578 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: because Chicago changed all of their stay at home orders overnight, 579 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: so it's crazy. And then I've got a thirteen year 580 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: old and we'll be homeschooling because here in southern California, 581 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: we're one percent online. And I actually love our public 582 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: school in our suburb. We have a great one. I 583 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: know a lot of the teachers personally. I love it. 584 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: Happy to send my kid there. But the compromise I 585 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: make is sometimes curriculum that I have to walk back 586 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: or reteach. You know, that's been a compromise I make. 587 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 1: But if we're going to be at home one percent 588 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: on the time, one online, I don't know why I'm 589 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: acquiescing that to the public school system, I might as 590 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: well control the curriculum myself. So we'll be homeschooling. I've 591 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: got a great homeschool curriculum that does everything that the 592 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: public school does and more, and everything's online, and homeschool 593 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: is leap years, leaps and bounds ahead of the public 594 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: school system when it comes to online learning. They've been 595 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: doing it all this time, so they've already got everything 596 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: set up. It's a really easy setup, and we're not 597 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: going to be slaves to the public school curriculum this year, Kira. 598 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: As everybody knows, I despise government schools with the fire 599 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: of a thousand sons, So I love homeschooling. I love 600 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: parents taking more control of their kids education. However, you 601 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: take somebody like me. I can hardly read or speak 602 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 1: the English language, how am I supposed to teach my 603 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: son's anything? As far as schooling goes, you don't have 604 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: to teach them anything. I have a program. The program 605 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm using CAME. I'm telling you, homeschool is like light 606 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: years beyond where public school is. Right now. I get 607 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: a curriculum. You can individualize it if you're the type 608 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: of parent that loves sitting and teaching your kids math. 609 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: But I have a prepackaged program it came. Everything is 610 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: set out. I have a calendar, I look at, this 611 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: is what needs to get done. This day you want 612 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: to finish in nine months, then this is the work 613 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: that gets done on this day. They do all the recording, 614 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: they do all the grading. Everything's online. There's a classroom 615 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: that my daughter will log into every day to do 616 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: her lessons. She'll do her lessons with other kids, she'll 617 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: have a teacher to talk to. It's like what public 618 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: school is doing, only better you don't. It's not an 619 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: issue anymore of you trying to figure out how to 620 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: teach your kids a concept that you don't know. All 621 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,959 Speaker 1: of that is done for you these days. And my 622 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: particular homeschool program that I'm using, which is a Becca, 623 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: which is a Bible based curriculum, it's thirteen hundred dollars 624 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: a year. It's one hundred and thirty dollars a month. 625 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: So we decided we could take that cost on for 626 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: the benefits of what we're getting. Okay, plug that again please, 627 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: because I'm sure people are extremely interested in this at 628 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: this point in time. What is it? Abecca abe Ka. 629 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 1: It's a Christian curriculum. A lot of private Christian schools 630 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 1: use it, but they have a homeschool side as well. 631 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: But it's not just Sebecca like there's a ton of 632 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: homeschool programs out there. They do that exact same thing. 633 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: Abecca is just what I chose. Ago was because I 634 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: like the Bible portion. I like the faith based portion 635 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: of it. But if you do your research, there is 636 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: plenty of stuff out there, and I think for me, 637 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: the daunting task was record keeping, like how do I 638 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: keep all these schools? I still work, you know, I'm 639 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,919 Speaker 1: still working from home all day, so I have things 640 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: to do. But this program, all of the quizzes and 641 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: everything is online and then they just do all of 642 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: the scoring and keep your transcripts for you. And at 643 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: the end of the year, poop, please give it all 644 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: to you. I don't have to do anything except make 645 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: sure she's interceding doing your work and she has the 646 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: proper books. What's your plan for child interaction? I would 647 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: worry that about that about about my sons if I 648 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: started home schooling them. What. I don't want them to 649 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 1: be a bunch of antisocial freaks. I plan to ignore 650 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: my child as much as possible for the next year 651 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: or so. It's great because a lot of parent groups 652 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: have popped up on the internet wrestling with the same question, 653 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of support out there, good ideas 654 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: floating around. I was just on a Facebook page today 655 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: asking people about what should I do with free time 656 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: with my daughter? And so there are some things we 657 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: plan on doing. Some things here are open. My daughter 658 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: started softball, so they're at least practicing right now, so 659 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: that's a way for her to get out to see people. 660 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: But we're very active in church. We have a church 661 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: community right she still attends a youth group, it's a 662 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: modified version of it right now, but she has people 663 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: that she sees personally. And then we also live in 664 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 1: a suburb where life is pretty open here. You wouldn't 665 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,400 Speaker 1: know that Governor Newsom is our governor if you walked 666 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: into my suburbs. We're pretty normal here in this suburb. 667 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: So she's got plenty of friends around here. And then 668 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm making an effort to get to host like a 669 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: cooking club or a sewing club like on Sundays or 670 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: something just something that her girlfriends can come over, they 671 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: can do together, sit together. It's not a lot of 672 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: people feel uncomfortable about having lots of people around, just 673 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: a few girls, and so we have to be more 674 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: deliberate about socializing, for sure. But I guess the silver 675 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: lining of that is that I know all of the 676 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: socializing that she's doing, and we need to be more 677 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: diligent like that about teaching young ladies to cook. I 678 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: applaud you for that. Curious all right, I listened, Jesse. 679 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: I know, I know this is your stick, but I'm 680 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: gonna be honest here. I agree. My mom's a chef, 681 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: and because she was a chef, she never taught me 682 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: how to cook because she didn't want to come home 683 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: and recook dinner, you know, teach me how to cook 684 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: in the kitchen and as a wife and as a homemaker. 685 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I was a stamp. I'm still a stay 686 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: at home mom essentially, but that was all I was 687 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,800 Speaker 1: for many years. It was one of my deepest regrets 688 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: that I just really couldn't really cook very well for 689 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: my family. So I actually do encourage young women to 690 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: learn how to cook. There's a lot of satisfaction in 691 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: being able to put a meal on the table for 692 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: your family. In all seriousness. Cura Davis, Red State, thank 693 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: you man. All right, we'll be back with more. I 694 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: know that was a lot to take in. I know 695 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: that was a lot of information.

I want you to be 698 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: scared enough to act. Your kids matter that much, right, 699 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 1: America itself matters that much. We are never going to 700 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: make it as a nation if we're educating the next 701 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: generation to hate themselves and hate where they live. We 702 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: have to change things and change them. Now. Let's you 703 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 1: and I make sure we do that, all right.
