This is a 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.520 tease for tomorrow before we move on here. Tomorrow is 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.520 Valentine's Day. Today is Gallantine's Day, where apparently women get 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.400 together for drinks or something go out to dinner themselves. 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.440 And tomorrow's Valentine's Day. 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.400 And I gotta get permission to tell this story, even 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.440 though I will still try to make it vague, of 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:14.280 a young girl who in grade school did not treat 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:22.520 well classmate's Valentine's Day overtures that boy ended up in 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.160 a life of crime, and she has always felt like 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.600 it was her that day that sent him on his wayward. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:40.440 Who wow, god, oh man. There are more details that 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.000 make it really funny, but I'll have to wait and 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:51.000 see if I can sure those. So Randy Wingarten, we 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.400 are talking about her yesterday. Coincidentally she she's still running 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:59.320 the teacher's union or absolutely she is an actual evil 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.919 human being, And don't mind, I have no problem saying 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.200 that that is not hyperbole. 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:04.359 She's evil. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.960 She she cares more about money than your kids learning, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:11.120 and unfortunately ended up in charge of teachers across the country. 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.000 If she merely cared about money more than the kids. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.800 I could live with that. I guess she doesn't care 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.680 about the kids at all. She doesn't care if they 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.320 learn or not, if they're miserable or not, if they're 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.160 set back and will never recover or not. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.200 She doesn't give a single s about that. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.600 Yeah, she's she's the one that brought you school closed 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.760 downs and all that sort of stuff. Anyway, here's her 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.280 talking about Trump and Elon's attempt this week to go 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.520 after the Department of Education. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.040 What is now coming down the pipe in this aura 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.560 of efficiency. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.600 It's not efficiency, it's a viseration. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.840 It is an attempt to take the funding and take 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.600 the rights away from each. 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:57.120 And every child. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:58.480 Oh my god. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.240 Yeah, she is more than happy to use these souls 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.000 of your children as some sort of righteous bargaining chip 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.520 when she'd willingly crush them for another dollar for her 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:11.520 union members. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.280 Here's Trump making his argument for why we should do 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.520 apartment away with the Department of Education a close. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.719 Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.800 Department of Education's a big conjab. We're ranked so they 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.080 ranked the top forty countries in the world. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.480 We're ranked number fortieth. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.640 But We're ranked number one in one department costs per pupil, 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.880 so we spend more for pupil than any other country 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:37.400 in the world. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.480 But we're ranked number forty. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.120 We've been between thirty eight and forty. The last time 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.839 I looked at was thirty eight, and then I looked 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.080 two days ago it came out the new list. It 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:52.560 came out at number forty. So we're ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.000 I hate to say it. China, as big as it is, 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.520 it's ranked in the top five, and that's our that's 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.760 a primary competitor. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.360 We're ranked number forty. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.680 So if we're ranked number forty, that means something's really wrong. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.200 I would agree, and I would like to hear anybody 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:11.840 I know. I brought this up last week. We'll say 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:16.840 it again since nineteen seventy Somebody, if you're listening right now, 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.719 and maybe you don't listen to this show, if you 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.760 have this point of view, because we've annoyed you so 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.640 much over the years with our point of view. But 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:24.680 if you're of the point of view that no, the 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.680 department education is very necessary and the public school system 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.360 is not a disaster, please explain to me why since 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:37.799 nineteen seventy, students have increased by eight percent, but non 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.400 teaching staff has increased by one hundred and thirty eight percent. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:48.400 Why somebody, Have you heard anybody make the argument, why, oh, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.960 that's completely necessary, And here's why I haven't. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.200 No, no, never, absolutely not. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:58.240 The only thing that I will occasionally get is people 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:03.640 will say, the federal requirements for record keeping and compliance 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.480 and all are so onerous. We have an entire department 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.719 filling out government forms. That probably explains. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:10.200 Part of it. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.320 Well, okay, that that might be the explanation, but the 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.360 explanation The answer then is, well, then you've got to 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.160 get rid of all the freaking forms. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.640 So you can also get rid of the people with you, 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.440 not against you. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.240 The students have increased by eight percent since nineteen seventy, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:32.080 teaching staff by sixty percent, total staff eighty four percent, 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.000 But if you take the teachers out of that total 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.560 staff increase, it's one hundred and thirty eight percent non 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.320 teaching staff increase. You got so many people bumping around 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.360 into school in offices doing stuff that nobody did ten 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.640 years ago or twenty years ago. Were sure as how 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:53.200 forty years ago, and everything seemed to be fine, right, Well, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.080 and in the last ten years or so, a lot 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.719 of it's been DEI departments. I was just I just 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.200 saw the number Trump has with a stroke of a 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.279 pen canceled one hundred million dollars. I think it is 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:12.280 of DEI funding for local educational programs, that sort of thing. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.960 One hundred million dollars being squandered on that garbage. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.920 I thought it was more than that. I had the numbers. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.080 But anyway, your point being. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.720 Well, that may just be you know, one particular line item. 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.040 I mean, when you get into what the universities themselves 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.600 are spending, never mind the directly federal funded stuff. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.840 It's the numbers are are mind blowing. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.560 Yeah, but again I usually know what the argument on 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.280 the other side is on a lot of big issues 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.400 because I watch enough MSNBC or listen NPR, whatever, But 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.760 I haven't heard the argument for why you need many 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.280 multiples more people in your schools just doing something in 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:50.880 an office. 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:52.240 Yeah. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.520 Yeah, Well, government education has become, like so many government 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.560 agencies and programs, just this giant unwe wield the ungovernable 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:07.760 self governing colossus. And as Elon Musk is pointing out 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.160 so eloquently, yesterday and we replayed one of the pieces 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:17.720 of audio today. If the bureaucracy is not accountable to 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.960 the elected representatives, it has truly become a fourth branch 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:26.360 of government, and it is not democratically influenced. You've lost 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.600 a significant chunk of your democracy. If the government schools 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.199 do what they want to do, and they're going to 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.600 keep doing it and you get you don't get a say, 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.440 that's a terrible, terrible way to be. 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.959 So they're voting currently on RFK Junior as Health and 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:52.120 Human Health and Human Secretary HHS Secretary, and he's supposed 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.520 to pass, although McConnell is voted against. But I'll bet 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:56.080 it's going to be the same as Tulca Gabbart, all 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.760 the Republicans for, all the Democrats against all the Republicans. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:03.320 But it's McConnell for and he'll pass. And then patel 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.600 Cash Pateel, the FBI director. He has gotten out of 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.840 that committee vote just now and he'll get the full 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:11.880 floor vote tomorrow. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.079 So it looks like. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.400 Everybody but Matt Gates that Trump initially wanted is going 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.720 to get through. Yes, yeah, there you go. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.800 I'm a little surprised, but we'll see how it goes. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.920 And you know, as important as some of that stuff is, 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.760 I almost think it's a distraction from some of the 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.040 bigger issues that we have, like we've been talking about absolutely. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.800 I mean, I came across a fabulous piece by Tony 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:38.160 woodleyf who's a political writer, and he's talking about some 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.360 of the slashing of grants and payments and the rest 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.440 of it that's caused such angst and caused the people 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.680 to gather in DC and sing that idiotic Union tune 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.119 yesterday Side. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:49.440 Are You. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:52.000 Side? 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.440 Are you fun? In the cords? And I was just 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:57.720 bellowing it out in my bed. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.640 We had not set that up in a as friends, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.520 and as I was saying those words, half of me 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.040 was hoping Michael had it. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.040 Handy, and half of me was afraid he had it handy. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.920 Anyway, it turns out that's like an old Union song 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.840 from back in the day, and they're trying to revive 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.199 it with idiotic new lyrics. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.720 But anyway, so all. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.400 Of that angst about how dare they cancel payments and 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.000 cut back in Nylon musk and doge is unelected and scary, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.199 and it's going to ruin America in nineteen ninety three, 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.440 the average state counted on federal agencies for twenty three 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.600 percent of its revenue, which is a little odd. As 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.600 I often say, your state like sends all that money 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:44.320 to DC, then begs for it back and under a 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.400 quarter but nearly a quarter of its budget is the 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.200 largesse of our federal overlords. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.520 Okay, that was in nineteen ninety three. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:57.839 Last year, this average reached thirty nine percent, with two 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.959 states Alaska Louisiana, dependent on. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:01.920 For half of their funds. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.719 And there are many state leaders who present themselves as 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.199 conservatives who despise federal bloat. It might be hard to 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.800 blame them for taking all that free money if not 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.000 for the fact that anyone who pays more than rudimentary 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.640 attention to the mechanics of federal grants knows that this 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.280 money is neither free nor is it reliable. And we 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.840 could certainly get into I don't think it's necessary, but 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.679 as that money is collected and processed in DC and 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.199 then doled out again, it is a giant money laundering 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:40.520 cash for micronies, phony green energy, fake grants to never 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:46.000 do anything anti homeless coalition bull crap. It's a giant 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:51.320 money laundering exercise and just send one hundred dollars to 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.920 DC and if you get back ninety of it, it's 0:11:54.960 --> 0:12:00.800 only because they've drained twenty cents of it and borrowed 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.400 another ten cents to at least keep you semi happy 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.400 with the amount that you get back after you beg 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:05.760 It is. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.880 A horrible system. It's indefensible. 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.280 As Elon said about the idiot record keeping thing we 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:17.800 described yesterday, literally anything would be better than this, all right, 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.079 But you try to change it and reform it, people say, 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.080 oh no, no. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:27.160 That might be changed. Yikes. I'm excited. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.360 I think it's this Sunday night, that Saturday Night Lives 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:34.880 having their big anniversary show, the fiftieth anniversary. 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.120 Yeah. I remember when they want to see the documentary 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.440 about all the music that Questlove of. 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.760 I saw the promos that looked pretty fantastic. Other I 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.800 remember SNL's fortieth anniversary show was spectacular. God, I thought 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.280 that was so entertaining. How about I watched that four times, 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.200 kept that on my TVR. They're at the big fiftieth anniversary. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.800 But anyway, USA Today put out a list of the 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.920 twenty greatest Greatest SNL cast members all time, maybe I'll 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.599 run through that at some point, see if you agree not. 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.280 Among other things, we'll get to today. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.120 Stay here. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:08.480 I can see this. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.920 In his said a found that taking ozempi could lead 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.040 to vision problems. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.360 How cruel you finally lose weight, now you're seeing double. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.200 When they heard the. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.439 Alternative to ozempic is exercise, people were just like, well, just. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.200 How blind are we talking to you? 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.200 You know that second part was darkly hilarious. Ye, the 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.280 first part I just thought. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.480 I wouldn't make a joke about that. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.480 No, but the second part is pretty accurate. Yeah, you 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.600 could either exercise to lose weight or take this fifty 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.800 percent change you go blind. Em So I need to 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.360 see that bad Duman Jimmy fallon there. Who got his 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.319 start on Saturday Night Live like Seth Myers did? 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:48.240 Who's on the other show? 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.600 Lots of people have it was, it says here in 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.760 the USA today Saturday Night Live, which is having its 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.600 fiftieth season. It started in nineteen seventy five, before many 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.720 of you were born. The years, alumni have gone on 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.040 to become Oscar and Emmy winners, box office superstars, late 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.480 night hosts, multi hyphenated producers, and even a US senator 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.000 in the name of what's his name from Minnesota who grabbed. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.600 The woman Franklin Al Franken. Well, he didn't, actually, he 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.120 pantomimed it and never should have resigned. But Democrats are wacky. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.480 There have been one hundred and sixty seven cast members, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.320 with the shortest one lasting a month, the longest lasting 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.920 twenty two years in Keenan Thompson, who is still on 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.600 the show. I haven't heard any explanation for why they've 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.440 kept him on for twenty years twenty two. I mean, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.880 he's great, but there have been a lot of the 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.920 funniest people who've ever lived. But there have been lots 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.280 of really funny, great people that didn't stay that long. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.120 Maybe why, well, right, why is he there? Why hasn't 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.600 he gone off to do movies or something? 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.600 Yeah, I mean because Saturday Night Live is famously on 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.000 weeks that they're working tremendous amount of work. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.960 Right, and most people, most of the people become stars, 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.600 they leave on their own because they're into the movie 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.160 business or talk show or whatever. Or Lauren, because I've 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.120 read a lot about this, Lauren gets rid of them 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.480 because they're so distracted. I remember, like Chris Farley and 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.760 David Spade. They're flying around making movies all the time, 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.880 and it's like, Okay, you're too busy doing this to 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.160 do my show, so you know, how about we get 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:23.360 somebody else. Anyway. USA Today named the top thirty cast 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.360 members of all time. I think they went out of 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.560 their way to make a list that people would argue about, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.120 which is what most lists are, because I think it's wrong. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.680 And I've watched Sarah Live practically every episode over the 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:39.359 entire fifty years. I am a Saturday Night Live devotee. 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.600 Top ten of all time? Maya Rudolph. They have a 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.920 ten who is absolutely hilarious and can make me laugh 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:46.600 doing anything. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.040 Number nine, Dan Akroyd, Number eight Kate McKinnon. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.800 Wow, she should be hired in eight. But you think 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.600 I would think number I don't know, she's hilarious. Number 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:03.200 seven Chris Farley, Number six, Amy Polar Number five. Boy, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.120 I don't know he five's high, but he might need 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.880 to be Top two. Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. I remember 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.200 hearing Tina Fay say one time, like some of the 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.720 big people at like Adam Sandler, left and she thought, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.520 who's Will Ferrell? And then she said, oh, I realize 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.560 he's the greatest sketch comedy artist of all time, which. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.040 He might be. Wow. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.640 Number four, John Belushi, Number three, Gilda Radner too high 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.160 for me. I like her, but number three, number two, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:37.960 Phil Hartman, number one, Wow, number one. They have Eddie Murphy. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.480 I think Kristen Wig is a top fiver personally, but man, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.960 there's a lot of choices. Dana Carvey, Andy Sandberg, Fred Armison, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:50.120 Adam Sandler. Obviously I'll be watching Sunday Night. Their fortieth 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.320 anniversary special was fantastic and hilarious. They brought back all 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.920 the cast members. It was really really good. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.200 Phil Hartman, no matter how hot the kokehead babe is 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.320 who comes on to you, it's a bad idea. 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.479 No kidding. We now have a trans sanctuary city. Some 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.080 of the arguments from the city council meeting coming up, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.120 Armstrong and Getty. One thing we were hoping would come 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:21.240 out of COVID was people getting more involved in city, 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:26.000 county elections, school board, that sort of stuff. I don't 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.480 know if that's happened, but when we realized how much 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.560 power those people have in an. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:35.240 Emergency and what perverse things they were doing, Yeah. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.760 This might be partially that we'll start here. We're going 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:42.840 to get to the trans sanctuary city of Wooster Mass 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.360 and the city council meeting they had last night. First, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.400 we'll start with the New York school board meeting, which 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:59.720 descended into chaos over LGBTQIA plus books that showed up 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.160 in the law library and parents got outraged. Parents took 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.520 over a school board meaning this week, demanding to know 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.680 why their elementary school children were exposed to this book 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.520 that included depictions of naked people in bondage enthusiasts. We've 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.680 heard this kind of story from all around the country. 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.120 This is the classic. We put a book in there 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.960 because we're sick, a weird pedophile something or others. 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:22.760 More on that later. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.639 I don't even understand what you're trying to do, you creepos, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:27.879 but we put the book in the library, and then 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.840 when you demand it be taken out, we call you 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.800 sensors or book banners or something, right, because we tried 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:35.560 to ban porn from little children. 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.119 Yeah, anyway, grooms. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.720 A large and animated crowd of parents gathered in a 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.359 Monroe County auditorium on Tuesday and voice their concerns of 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.560 the superintendent and school board about their young children having 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.119 access to the book The Rainbow Parade, a celebration of 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:54.240 lgbtqia plus identities and allies. Just this sort of book 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.720 you need to have in your library when all across 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.359 the country kids aren't reading at proficiency level. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:01.480 This is what we're focused on. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:03.840 The controversial book tells the story of a young girl 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.800 and her two mothers attending an LGBT parade and follows 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.840 a child who's exploring their quoting from the book here 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.040 gender identity. The book's lesson for kids is to break 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:19.280 down stereotypes and embrace diversity. The Rainbow Parade the book 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.679 the name of the book, includes depictions of a naked 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:28.000 person shown from behind, furries, a gay couple outfitted in leather, BDSM, bondage, domination, 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.840 sado masochism, attire. Students that were shown the book were 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.840 in grades one through five, meaning they're roughly ages five 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:36.479 to eleven. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:43.800 Lord showing sexualized material to little kids has had only 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.159 one other explanation through human history. You're grooming them for 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:49.040 sexual abuse. 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.679 So a whole bunch of outraged parents showed up good 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.760 and the superintendent, Tasha Potter, had to end the school 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.480 board meeting without hearing any more complaints or any voting, 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.040 because it got she said, it got too chaotic. I 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.320 think it was just they didn't like the politics of 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.560 the people that were there. I've been involved in this 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.560 sort of thing before. A lot of it is who 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.280 can mask the people. That's a lot of it. And 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.160 like I live in a college town, and college kids 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:14.800 don't have jobs and don't have to get up so 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.040 they can show up to these city council meetings. If 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.439 there's a big conversation happening on and happening and overwhelm 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.600 the tax paying parents who have to get up in 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:23.960 the morning and take their kids to school. 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:25.720 And then if it's not. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.200 If the crowd isn't the right direction, you can call 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.560 it off. It's too chaotic, bring it back next Tuesday, 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.639 and maybe the parents don't show up and the activists do, 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.000 and then you know, that's the way it works a lot. Anyway, 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:42.000 this particular school board and meeting. We are here at 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.600 our board meeting, conducting our business, the superintendent said to 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.400 parents who were trying to get the word in edgewise, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.040 who then booed loudly, it's our board meeting. Said one parent, 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.480 We pay you, another male parent shouted as the booze 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.520 rained down. The school officials called the meeting do a 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.879 close without officially here any public comments. They're just leaving 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.800 one parent filming the event set in disbelief. So it 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.000 never really got off the ground on that one, yep, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.919 because they just hide. They didn't like the politics of 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.200 the people that showed up to the meeting. So they'll 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.520 they'll have their next meeting, maybe not announce it, but 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.320 this sort of thing happens too. Maybe announce it last minute, 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.080 or they'll get the word out to the people on 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.160 their side anyway that we're having a meeting today at four, 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.000 but not to the people that are going to be loud. 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:31.480 And you know, it's really frustrating if you've ever been 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:32.560 involved in this sort of thing. 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:34.200 Oh yeah, they know what they're doing. 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.919 They know they can't stand up to scrutiny, so they 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.840 find every way they can to eliminate scrutiny. 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:43.040 The opposite was happening in Wooster, mass where apparently their 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.399 city council loves the idea of being I think the 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.359 first trans sanctuary city in America, or the first of 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.040 its size, or the first of the East Coast or 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:51.720 something like that. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:52.160 Something. 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.159 They're very proud of being a trans sanctuary city, and 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:02.120 they were digging a lot of the commentary from the 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.680 pro trans crowd that showed up. But we're just gonna 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:08.440
