That is today's word. 21 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: We are waiting one hour from right now, the President 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: will announce that he is abolishing the Department of Education. 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: This department has been around and was founded in nineteen 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: seventy nine. We have spent a whopping three trillion American 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars on that agency since it was founded. Education 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: scores have only gone down dramatically since then. And I 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: want you to understand something. I come at education from 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: the vantage point of somebody that believes in God, and 29 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: that believes every man, woman and child on this earth. 30 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Was created by God. 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: And if you look at the root word education from 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: the Latin, it's doukadae who bring forth from within the 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: little that I remember when I took Latin in school, 34 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: and it means that's predicated on a belief that every 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: child has inherently within them talent and ability, and it's 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: our job, as loving parents or aunts or uncles or 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 2: neighbors or friends or whatever, who helped them become their 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: best self and to find that for which they were 39 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: born and created and whatever talents God gave them, which 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: I believe is individualized, just like everybody has their own fingerprint. 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: This has been an ongoing problem. It was early in 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: the Reagan administration they did a nationwide study. It was 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: called a Nation at Risk. It was about the educational 44 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: system in America and What they determined was what has 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: happened to America's educational system? Were it done by an 46 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 2: outside entity or force, in other words, another country, would 47 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: be tantamount to an act of war. I will never 48 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: forget what it said about that they have failed our 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: children spectacularly. And you have this un holy alliance which 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: is now about to be broken, which needs to be 51 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: broken between Democrats, the Democratic Party that is screaming bloody 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: murder today. You know we've got to protect our kids. Well, 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the statistics. What are we 54 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: protecting them from? A failed system? A system that is 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: failing on the on the most spectacular level. And I'm 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 2: going to ask all of you maybe to do something 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: you know and join me in an experiment and maybe 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: just try to think differently. Is there a better way 59 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: to educate our kids? And I'll give you one quick 60 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: example that I think is quite relevant for example, and 61 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: I'll pick New York. And I have a lot of 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: other examples that I'll share with you throughout the course 63 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: of the program. Today, the New York Teachers' Union pumped 64 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: school spending to the highest level in the country. They 65 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 2: pay thirty six thousand dollars per child annually on education, 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: yet when you look at the school they are atrocious. 67 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, the thirty six hundred and ninety 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: three dollars per student is a twenty one percent increase 69 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty one school year. According to the 70 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: latest numbers, spending on education you know, has gone up 71 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: of whopping eighty nine billion in New York City school 72 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: districts this academic year, even as enrollment and test scores 73 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: continue to plummet. According to analysis after analysis of the 74 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: eighty nine billion and overall spending, thirty nine comes from 75 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: the state budget. The rest comes from the federal government. 76 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: New York spends more than other states on mostly everything 77 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: from teachers' salaries, benefits, pensions, school construction, services for immigrants 78 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: and non English speakers. I'll interpret that illegal immigrants and 79 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: their children, and of course are trying to even electrify 80 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: school buses, which should not be a part of anything. 81 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: If you look back, the amount of money spent during 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: the Biden years has been unbelievably high in terms of 83 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: DEI programs, over one hundred million dollars in the last 84 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 2: year alone. That is a massive amount of money. So 85 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: what are we getting for this money new York's. New 86 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: York's fourth grade students get more money per student per 87 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: capita than any other city on the face of this earth. 88 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: And they rank thirty two and forty six, thirty second 89 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: in reading and forty six in math. You know, taken 90 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two eighth graders twenty second in math, 91 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: and again they have more money than any other school district. 92 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: How do you fail that spectacularly? It has to be asked. Now, 93 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: let's do a comparison, shall we, because you might ask, well, 94 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: does higher spending equal better education outcome? 95 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:00,799 Speaker 1: Again? 96 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: New York is the top spender K through twelve for 97 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: the last two decades, and it remains, you know, near 98 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: the lowest level in terms of educational benchmarks. Let's compare 99 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: a state like Idaho, and they have consistently been the 100 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: lowest spender in the category of educating their children in Idaho, 101 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: but over the last twenty years, Idaho has outperformed New 102 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: York in fourth grade math, eighth grade math, and eighth 103 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: grade reading. Idaho averages just over one third of what 104 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: New York spends year over year. And while the political 105 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 2: narrative is more funding if you put in through the 106 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: K through twelve system is you're going to have more money, 107 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: better scores. Well, the data actually shows a very different result. 108 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: Each state has different funding models, different itemized budgets, and 109 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: unique challenges. And the overwhelming conclusion is is that there's 110 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: no positive correlation between spending per pupil and average test scores. 111 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: If you look at spending per pupil in public schools 112 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: that averaged nationwide fifteen thousand, six hundred and thirty three dollars. 113 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: That's up eight point nine percent since fiscal year twenty 114 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: twenty two. It's not a lack of money. Now, the 115 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: states with the highest pupil spending New York, you know 116 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: which has the state is just just shy at thirty 117 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, twenty nine eight to seventy three, d C 118 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: twenty seven four to twenty five, New Joysey twenty five thousand, 119 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: ninety nine dollars, Vermont twenty four thousand, six hundred and eight, 120 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: Connecticut twenty four thousand, four hundred and fifty three. New 121 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: York ranked lower than thirty eight jurisdictions, states and districts 122 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: in fourth grade math scores and underneath twelve higher performing 123 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 2: jurisdictions in eighth grade scores, and if for reading, eight 124 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: jurisdictions ranked higher in fourth grade assessments and three jurisdictions 125 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: ranked significantly higher in the eight grade, and the DC 126 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: in that area it fared even worse. So I'm going 127 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: to ask you to join me in a little experiment here. 128 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: Let's say the federal government were to give twenty twenty 129 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars per student their share of the educational 130 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: moneies to each individual child, give it to the parent, 131 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: or give it to the school district. Let's just say 132 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: for let's use that as an example. So let's say 133 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: total state federal dollars are thirty thousand dollars per student. 134 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: And let's say that parents then had to say in 135 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: the school districts then had the option of providing choices 136 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: to families as to how that money spent. And let's 137 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: say that there are five families, and five families decide 138 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: to pool their money, and they have thirty thousand dollars each. 139 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: And these five families, all right, so thirty dollars, what's 140 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: what's well, why don't we. 141 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: Make it ten families? All right? 142 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: Make it simple. That's three hundred thousand dollars. That ten 143 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: that that ten children will have allocated to them for education. 144 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: That's three hundred thousand dollars. Now, let's say we use 145 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: all of that money to pay two teachers, and let's 146 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: say you give them myself. So you have one hundred 147 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars to spend on each teacher. Right, 148 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: and each teacher then is assigned five children, and that 149 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: teacher gets a six figure salary. You can provide benefits 150 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: like health insurance, You can provide retirement plans for them, 151 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: so maybe they get a base salary of one hundred 152 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: and ten hundred and twenty thousand. The rest of the 153 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: money is spent on benefit programs, and then five children 154 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: will then be assigned one teacher. And then and you 155 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: put standards associated with it and also benchmarks that must 156 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: be met that a certain bare minimum standard has got 157 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: to be reached for the for the teachers to be 158 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 2: able to continue in their job, and for these kids 159 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: to have this opportunity or else somehow, there's there's got 160 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: to be some accountability, whatever that accountability is. Now, ask yourself, 161 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 2: use your basic simple common sense. If if five, if 162 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: you have one teacher for every five kids, and the 163 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: teachers chosen by five parents. What teacher do you think 164 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 2: these parents are going to choose. They're going to find 165 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: the best teacher that would be capable of teaching these 166 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: kids the bare necessities, because without education, the rungs of 167 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: the latter to life's success are ripped out from underneath them. 168 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: You will not succeed if you don't have these basic 169 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: fundamental skills, and you don't have those skills that are 170 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: necessary to take you to the next level in life, 171 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: you will be shut out and all that God given 172 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: potential will be wasted. And it's been wasted now for 173 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: decades and decades and decades. We have failed these kids spectacularly. 174 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: We have not tapped into the talent, the gifts that 175 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: they were born with. Now, in a small group setting 176 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: like that, what will those teachers? What will parents demand 177 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: that those teachers be insisting that their kids are learning 178 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: maybe reading, writing, math, history, science, computers. I doubt there's 179 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: going to be a lot of talk about being woke 180 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: or transgenderism. Maybe the thing they can add is the 181 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: golden rule. You know, maybe in that environment you'd be 182 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: able to say, love God with all your he arn't mind, body, 183 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: and soul, and treat others the way you want to 184 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 2: be treated and treat your neighbor as yourself. Now when 185 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: you apply your common sense and that model, which would 186 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: be very doable by eliminating the Department of Education and 187 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: getting rid of this unholy alliance between Democrats and teachers unions, 188 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: because the teachers' unions contribute all this money to the 189 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: Democratic Party and Democratic candidates so they can get elected. 190 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: What will the parents decide and what kids have been 191 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: disproportionately negatively impacted by the failures of our educational system. Well, 192 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: I've got the statistics right here in front of me. 193 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: They're predominantly minority areas in our country. If you look 194 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: at New York City, if you look at DC, if 195 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: you look at Detroit, I've got numbers on Detroit. If 196 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: you look get areas in Los Angeles, if you look 197 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: at areas in San Francisco, if you look at areas 198 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: in Atlanta, disproportionately minority students have been failed at a 199 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: much higher rate than other children. We are hurting our 200 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: minority community. And the question always comes up every election season. Well, demographically, 201 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: we look at you know, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, 202 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 2: women in the workplace African American youth. This is where 203 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party has failed. They go in every two 204 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: and four years asking for votes, and they've gotten them 205 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 2: in these blue cities town states for decades, and they've 206 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: got nothing in return. There's no law, there's no order, 207 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: there's no safety, there's no security, and there's no education 208 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: for their children. 209 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: All right, we're going to continue. 210 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 2: So the President will make this announcement which is transformational, 211 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: and it will be the biggest opportunity we have to 212 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 2: save our children and give them the gift that they deserve, 213 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 2: the proper education to prepare them for life. How can 214 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: anyone make the argument that education in America is succeeding. 215 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: How do we spend more per capita per child than 216 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: any other country, industrialized country on Earth and have some 217 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: of the worst results. How is it that states to 218 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 2: spend far less on education do so much better than 219 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: states that spend You know, all these states that spend 220 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: so much on it, they fail, and then states that 221 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: spend so little do so well. I mean, I don't 222 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: care if you're talking about Chicago, San Francisco, La, New York, 223 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: d C. 224 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: New Jersey. 225 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: They spend all this money and then you actually break 226 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: it down, and you find that other states like Utah, 227 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: which spends significantly less and fifty two dollars, Idaho nine 228 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy, Arizona ten thousand, three hundred and fifteen, Oklahoma, Mississippi, 229 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: et cetera. And fourth grade students, for example, in Utah 230 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: scored much higher on average than those in New York, 231 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: which spends the most. They spend a third of what 232 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: they're spending in New York, less than a third, and 233 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: they're doing better. Idaho second low is spending behind nine 234 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: other states and districts that perform significantly better on fourth grade. 235 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 2: That's it only massive. I mean all the school districts 236 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: that spend money fail. I'll explain next.

And I'm going to give you the 266 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: numbers in the statistics. We have failed our kids spectacularly 267 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: when it comes to the issue of education. We've just 268 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: failed them. And these numbers are staggering. And there was 269 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: a number of years ago in New Jersey a guy 270 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 2: by the name he was a real life person named 271 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: Joe Clark. I had interviewed Joe Clark. I love Joe Clark. 272 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 2: He was amazing, actually, And he showed up. It was 273 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: called east Side High and his job was to educate 274 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: these kids and inspire these kids and get rid of 275 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: those people that were interfering in the educational process. And 276 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: he walked around with a bullhorn and a bat in 277 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: the school and I mean and he just raised Holy hell. 278 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: And he took a lot of heat for it, and 279 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: he got the job done. He was able to get 280 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: the kids. He believed in the children, and he got 281 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 2: their scores up. They did a movie about his life 282 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 2: and one of the best roles. I think Morgan Freeman's 283 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: one of the best actors. Forget his politics. He's one 284 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: of the best actors by far. Amazing actor with incredible versatility. 285 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: If there's a movie with Morgan Freeman in it, I've 286 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: seen it, and I'm gonna watch it usually again, but 287 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: this became a classic. 288 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: It was lean on me. 289 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 2: And he assembles the students in one scene an hour 290 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: before they are about to take a state mandated test, 291 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: and it was critical that they get a passing grade, 292 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: something they'd not achieved in a long time. When they 293 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: took their first practice test, it was a disaster. So 294 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: one hour before the test, he gets all the kids 295 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: in the auditorium and this is the speech he gave. 296 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: All right, people, here we are.

And I want to tell you what the 301 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 3: people out there are saying about you and what they 302 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 3: think about your chances. They say you are inferior. You 303 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 3: are just a bunch of the poor white trash. Education 304 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 3: is wasted on you. You cannot learn, You're lost. I 305 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: mean all of you. I want all the white students 306 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: to stand up.

If they had, they 311 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 3: would have abandoned us a long time ago like everybody 312 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: else did. 313 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: But they couldn't. 314 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: So here they are at east Side High, just like 315 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: the rest of us.

Gee, they got a little better, 344 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: big deal more per capita per student than any other 345 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: city in the entire country. And they've been the top 346 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: spender for two decades. You can't institutionalize failure like this 347 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 2: and all the states to spend all this money because 348 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: there's no positive correlation between spending and pupil and average 349 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: scores by the states. New York, d C, New Jersey, Vermont, 350 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: Connecticut the highest spenders anywhere between, you know, thirty thousand 351 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: plus to twenty five thousand dollars. And you look at 352 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: the lowest spending states Utah nine five hundred and fifty 353 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 2: two dollars per pupil Idaho nine thousand, six hundred and seventy, 354 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 2: Arizona ten thousand, three hundred and fifteen, Oklahoma ten thousand, 355 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: eight hundred and ninety, Mississippi ten thousand, nine hundred and 356 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: eighty four. The kids in Utah, the lowest spending of 357 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: any any state in the country, scored much higher on 358 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: average than those in New York and only you know, 359 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: I think DC and Massachusetts and had I'm sorry, only 360 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: I can't read this anyway. Massachusetts had higher you know, 361 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: test scores eighth grade math. Only one jurisdiction ranked significantly 362 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 2: higher than Utah, the low the lowest spend and Idaho 363 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 2: does significantly better with with one third of the money 364 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: one third. Los Angeles fifty four to four percent of 365 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: their expenses spend on teacher salaries, employee benefits to a 366 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 2: majority of the money spent is not going to students. 367 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: We learned under the Biden years, the Biden Education Department 368 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: spend over one hundred million dollars on DEI, anti racist 369 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: social workers for K twelve schools. This is madness. We 370 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: are failing these kids spectacularly. According to the US Census Bureau, 371 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: LA unified spent twenty two thousand per student. 372 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: And they're not doing well either. 373 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: You know, forty seven percent of students that's it that 374 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: met or exceeded the grade level on English standards, and 375 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: matho was only thirty four percent. This is institutional failure. 376 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: They spend nearly twenty four thousand student in San Francisco 377 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: forty six only forty six percent past their grade math level. 378 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 2: In Atlanta, they spend nearly twenty three thousand per student 379 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: per year. Only thirty six percent of students read at 380 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: the third grade level. Only thirty just over thirty percent 381 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: of students are proficient in math. Want to talk about 382 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: a disaster, Let's go to Detroit, Michigan. They spend twenty 383 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: one thousand, seven hundred and seventy one dollars per student 384 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 2: a year. Sixteen percent of those students in the Detroit 385 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: Public Schools Community District tested proficient in English language arts. 386 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four. Ten point five percent of students 387 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 2: were proficient tested in math ten percent. What are we 388 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 2: getting for our money? Let three parents pull the money, 389 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: hire a private tutor, five parents hire a private teacher. 390 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: In Baltimore, sixty five percent of public schools earn the 391 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 2: lowest possible scores on Maryland's report cards sixty five percent. 392 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: You have those thirteen public schools we've discussed for many times, 393 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: not a single kid proficient in math or reading, not one. 394 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 2: You know, if you look at you know the data 395 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: they found. Sixty five percent of Baltimore City's one hundred 396 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: and forty eight rated schools earned one or two stars, 397 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: the lowest possible ratings. Every year, thirteen hundred public schools 398 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 2: in the state of Maryland are rated based on performance. 399 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 2: Each school receives a star. Baltimore City as by far 400 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: the highest percentage of one or two star schools in 401 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: the state, and more than double the next highest district 402 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 2: in the region, Baltimore County, of twenty seven point six percent. 403 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 2: You can't fail this badly if you look at Illinois Chicago. 404 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: Spending nearly doubles and the scores they didn't go up, 405 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 2: they dropped. Has scores academic performance continue to drop Since 406 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: twenty twelve, Spending has gone up of wopping ninety seven percent. 407 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 2: Reading proficiency went down sixty three percent. Math proficiency spent 408 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: seventy eight percent. They doubled the money and they've gone 409 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: down sixty three and seventy eight percent respectively. You know, 410 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 2: three quarters of these students can't read a grade level, 411 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 2: even fewer can do math a grade level. And what 412 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: is the Chicago Teachers' union leadership? What do they want? 413 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: A new contract with a list of costly demands that 414 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: have nothing to do with improving academic performance of students 415 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 2: and everything to do with politics. That's the holy alliance 416 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: between teachers' unions and the Democratic Party. Democrats screaming, bloody murders, 417 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: save our kids, Save our kids from what We're saving 418 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: our kids by saving this system from institutional failure. That's 419 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: why I'm asking people think out of the box, approach 420 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: something differently. When you're failing at this level, you have 421 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: got to make adjustments. You have got to do a 422 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: course correction. This has been needed now almost since the 423 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 2: beginning Department of Education bounded in nineteen seventy nine. Reagan 424 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: has during his term of Landmarks Study and Nation at Risk. 425 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 2: What has happened to the educational system in America were 426 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 2: done by an outside entity or force would be tantamount 427 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 2: to an act of war. Wow, that's how bad this is. 428 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 2: New Jersey's educational system is garbage to per pupil spending 429 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: has steadily increased per student now nearly now over twenty 430 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: six thousand per year. Their performance eh minimal gains next 431 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: to nothing. You know, the National Assessment fourth and eighth graders, 432 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: at least a third of America's students failed to demonstrate 433 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: basic reading skills expected for their age group. Only sixty 434 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: seven percent of eighth graders are able to meet or 435 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: exceed basic skills. On the twenty twenty four test, only 436 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: sixty percent of fourth graders were able to meet basic 437 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: skills levels. And let me tell you about those tests. 438 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 2: They are not the end. 439 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: All be all. I mean, this is the bare minimum. 440 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean. 441 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: We spend three trillion dollars since the founding of the 442 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: Department of Education, and education scores have only gone down. 443 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: We spend more money than any industrialized country in the 444 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: world with the worst results. Why did Joe Biden's Department 445 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: of Education spend one hundred million dollars on grants to 446 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: schools meant to train K through twelve social workers on 447 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: critical race theory, social justice, diversity, equity inclusion. When these 448 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: kids can't read, write, do math, science, history or whatever 449 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: history they're learning, or learn computers which is a skill 450 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: they're going to need in their life, not that hard. 451 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: So the President is going to abolish the Department of Education, 452 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 2: and they're going to put standards in place, and there's 453 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 2: going to be accountability for the money that is given it, 454 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 2: which needs to be done. And they're going to be 455 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: screaming on the left bloody murder. But the screaming ought 456 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 2: to be from parents, especially the parents of children in 457 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: predominantly minority school districts who have been disproportionately negatively impacted 458 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: by this institutional failure. And for people that say, oh, 459 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: you know, they buy into the every year, every two 460 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 2: to four years, you hear republic as are racist, as sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, transphobic, phobic, phobic, phobic, 461 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: They want dirty air and water and kill grandma and grandpa. No, 462 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: that's not what they want. We believe in economic we 463 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: believe in educational excellence. We can turn this around if 464 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 2: the kids are given the right education, if the kids 465 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 2: are given an opportunity to learn, if we change the 466 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: paradigm otherwise, you know, what is the definition of insanity? 467 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: You just do the same thing over and over and 468 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 2: over again, and you expect a different result. You're not 469 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: getting a different result unless you change the system. The 470 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: President's going to make his announcement expected at four o'clock. 471 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: We'll cover live here on this show, and we'll see 472 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 2: where that's going. We have the other news of the 473 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: day we'll get to we'll get to your calls as well. 474 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 2: Eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn is our number. 475 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: All right. 476 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: President Trump about to take to the nation and announce 477 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: his remarks on education and the abolishment of the Department 478 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 2: of Education. I do believe that means block ranning money 479 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: in the States, maybe a school voucher component to it 480 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 2: with standards. 481 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: But we'll carry that live straight ahead.
