1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: I new is fround the information overload. Our toll free 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: art number is height one hundred and nine to fourt 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: the program. The President said that the Department of Education 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: will be shut down, but that does not mean. What 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: it really means is there are better, more efficient ways 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: to educate our kids. It's really that simple. Now, Whether 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: it's vouchers where parents are giving given money directly and 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: they get to choose what schools they're going to send 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: their kids to. I guarantee it the schools they're going 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: to want to send their kids to, the schools that 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: teach reading, writing, math, science and history and put kids 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: in uniforms and have discipline, and I'm pretty sure those 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: are the schools most parents would pick. Or whether it's vouchers, 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: letting you know, state and local officials handle it, although 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: I think there'd be a lot of waste for aud 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: abuse on the state level, especially in big blue states. 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: We spend more per capita for a child on education 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: than any industrialized country. We have the worst results, I 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: mean more than any other country, and we come in 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: like thirty seventh in reading and forty of the math. 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: It's pathetic it is. 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: You can't do a worse job, and I believe a 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: lot of it's rooted in this unholy alliance between the teachers' 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: unions and the Democratic Party. Here's the president calling for 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: the Department of Education to be shut down soon. 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: Do you want the Department of Education to be closed? 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: Oh, I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: Department of Education's a big conjob. We're ranked so they 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: ranked the top forty countries in the world. We're ranked 31 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 3: number fortieth, but we're ranked number one in one department 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: costs per pupil, so we spend more for pupil than 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 3: any other country in the world. But we're ranked number forty. 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: We've been between thirty eight and forty. The last time 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: I looked it was thirty eight, and then I looked 36 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: two days ago it came out the new list. It 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: came out at number forty. So we're ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden. 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: I hate to say it. China, as big as it is, 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: it's ranked in the top five, and that's our that's 40 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: a primary competitor. We're ranked number forty. So if we're 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: ranked number forty, that means something's really wrong. 42 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that means something's very raw, especially with the 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: amount of money we're spending. Nicholas here Donald's with US 44 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow and professor of political science 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: at Suffolk Community College that's out in Long Island, New York. 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: He's the host of the PAS Report podcast. Erica Donalds 47 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: is with US faculty at the Leadership Institute, CEO of 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: Optimum ED and the America First Policy Institute. By the way, 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: happens to be married to our friend and a friend 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: of the program, Congressman Byron Doneals, welcome both of you. 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: Erica will start with you, and you know, listen to 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: what the President has said. 53 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: That means to me. 54 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: The latter to success in life is education, and we 55 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: are failing our kids spectacularly, even though we spend more 56 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: money than any industrialized country. 57 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: This's got to be a better way. I know there 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: are better ways. 59 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: We've talked for decades about vouchers, I at block rants 60 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: to the states. It never happens. I think now what's 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: going to happen. 62 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 4: It is going to happen, and I believe Donald Trump 63 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 4: is going to be the school choice president. I was 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: at the White House at his school Choice round table 65 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: just a couple of weeks ago, where he expressed support 66 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: for school choice initiatives at the federal level, including the 67 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: Education Choice for Children Act, which could show up in reconciliation. 68 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: As you probably know, but the Department of Education has 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: done nothing to advance academic achievement in this country. It 70 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 4: has wasted untold amounts of money. We're finding out about 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: a lot of those details now as DEI programs are 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 4: being exposed and cuts, thankfully, and there are better places 73 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: for things to go in the federal department, such as 74 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: the Justice Department handling the Office of Civil Rights. Hopefully 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: we move the student loans off to the private sector, 76 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: not even moving those to Treasury. But certainly we want 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 4: to execute on the President's vision to eliminate the failed 78 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: Department of Education and expand school choice across our country, 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: to give parents the choices that they deserve for what 80 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: academic environment is going to work that's for their children. 81 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: No, it's so important to what you're saying, and you're 82 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: right on every level. It is amazing that our state 83 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: of Florida has the number one is ranked number one 84 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: in terms of public school education, and it doesn't even 85 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: have a state income tax. It is pretty spectacular and 86 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: a great achievement of Governor DeSantis and Rick Scott before him, 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: and I'm sure if if Byron runs, he would continue that. 88 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: Obviously, Nicholas, let's get your take. 89 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 5: Well, in your previous home state of New York, we 90 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 5: spend about thirty. 91 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: Thousand by the way, put the keyword on previous. 92 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: We spent thirty thousand dollars a year to educate a student, 93 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 5: and yet we performed twice below the basic proficiency levels 94 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 5: in the national assessment. So you see where it goes. 95 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 5: But the Department of. 96 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, in New York City it's even more. 97 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: It's thirty six grand per student, correct, going up. 98 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: To thirty nine thousand person in the next fiscal year. 99 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 5: But when you look at it, the Department Education has 100 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 5: spent over a billion dollars on diversity, equity inclusion over 101 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 5: the last couple of years, two hundred million of which 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 5: went to counseling programs for microaggressions, whiteness, white privilege, anti racism, 103 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 5: as student proficiency rates have plummeted. So it's the Department 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 5: of Education has become nothing more than a racket to 105 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 5: fund money to left wing organizations to indoctrinate our children, 106 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 5: and I think that the American people are sick and tired. 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 5: Are spending more money than any other country to educate students, 108 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 5: and yet we keep on dropping in the proficiency rankings, 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 5: and it gets even worse at the higher education level 110 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 5: campus form. We've reported how the government is funding colleges 111 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 5: to develop tools five point five million dollars going to 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 5: a University of Wisconsin and a few other colleges to 113 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 5: develop tools to silence and censor Americans. Enough is enough 114 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: with the wasting of tax dollars. We need an education 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 5: system that actually promotes American values. American exceptionalism teaches students 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 5: how to read and write, and getting rid of the 117 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: Department of Education is just one small piece of fixing 118 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 5: the problems that we're seeing. We need to get rid 119 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 5: of the ideologically driven curricula. We need to institute school 120 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 5: choice where people aren't held hostage by their zip code 121 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 5: and could choose a succeeding school as opposed to the 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 5: failing school. And we need to demand accountability. And I 123 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 5: think that's the most important thing that this administration is 124 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 5: seeking to do, where block grants will flow with student achievement. 125 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 5: If the school's not performing, they should not be receiving 126 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 5: more money from the tax dollar from the taxpayers. And 127 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: if they're teaching anti Americanism within their schools, well why 128 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: are we funding that? 129 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you raise such a good point, and Eric, 130 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: I'll go back to you. I mean the word education. 131 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: And I went to a seminary in high school and 132 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: I had to study Latin, although I was never any 133 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: good at it, and I studied theology and I went 134 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: to Mass every day and then actually ended up being 135 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: a very good thing in my life. And the real 136 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 1: derivative of education from the Latin means to bring forth 137 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: from with it. To me, that's predicated on an idea 138 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: that God put talent and every child on this earth, 139 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: and you've got to provide the sunlight, the water to 140 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: bring that talent out of them. And this is where 141 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: education has failed. 142 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 2: And I'm not. 143 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: Saying that kids shouldn't have to study and memorize, et cetera, 144 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: et cetera. I am saying that we're not finding their 145 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: talents and we're not building those talents and nurturing those 146 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: talents so that they turn that into a way to 147 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: be their best self. 148 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: Later in life. Is that a fair analysis, Absolutely. 149 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: And our schools are monopoly of public education has been 150 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: utilitarian for many years. It is not bringing out the 151 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 4: best passions of a child to help them succeed in life. 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 4: It's not teaching them cultural literacy to take forward our 153 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 4: republic to the next generation. So it's not achieving even 154 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 4: the aims of education in the as you just referred to. 155 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: We used to say they were test preparation factories, but 156 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: they're not even doing that anymore, as we've seen in 157 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 4: the NAPE scores of the national report cards, where half 158 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 4: of our students are failing and only a third are 159 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: actually reading and doing mathematics on grade level. So it's 160 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 4: failed in every sense of the term. And Nicholas hit 161 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: the point every parent needs the opportunity to choose a 162 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 4: school that is working best for their child. But more importantly, 163 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: that will give rise to a free market that's going 164 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: to bring new innovation, access and the type of schools 165 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: that you and I are looking for for our children 166 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: and grandchildren out into the marketplace when we eliminate the 167 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 4: education monopoly that's currently in place. 168 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: All right, quick break right back. 169 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: We'll continue more with Nicholas Giordano and Eric adnald Is 170 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: on the other side, as Donald Trump now pledging to 171 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: eliminate the Department of Education and what does that mean 172 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: for parents? What does that mean for states. 173 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 6: Education? 174 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 3: Oh, I'd like it to be closed and made the 175 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: look the Department of Education is a big CONJAB. We're 176 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: ranked so they ranked the top forty countries. 177 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: In the world. 178 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: We're ranked number fortieth, but we're ranked number one in 179 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 3: one department costs per pupil, so we spend more for 180 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: pupil than any other country in the world. But we're 181 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: ranked number forty. We've been between thirty eight and forty. 182 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: The last time I looked it was thirty eight, and 183 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 3: then I looked two days ago it came out the 184 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: new list. It came out at number forty. So we're 185 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: ranked forty. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, I hate to say it. 186 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: China as big as it is, it's ranked in the 187 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 3: top five and that's our that's a primary competitor. We're 188 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: ranked number forty. So if we're ranked number forty, that 189 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: means something's really wrong, right right. 190 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: Our final moments with Nicholas Giordano and Erica Donalds, as 191 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: we discuss you know, the disaster that is the American 192 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: educational system and President Trump's desire to get rid of 193 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: the Department of Education and block reant money and vouchers 194 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: to of families and states and let local municipalities do 195 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: a better job with it. A while back, and maybe Nicholas, 196 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: you'll find this interesting. A while back, I ran into 197 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: a young person who had a dream and a desire 198 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: for a certain profession. I don't want to give too 199 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: many clues away here. I don't want them to know 200 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about them, to be honest. And this person, 201 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, had decent, good, you know, decent grades in 202 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: high school, went to college four years and it was 203 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: obvious that this dream was never going to come to 204 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:38,479 Speaker 1: fruition based on you know, practice testing, etc. For advancement. 205 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: And I literally asked this person, do you know how 206 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: to study? And I happen to know somebody that is 207 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: probably one of the greatest tutors of all time. And 208 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: here's a person that had gone through gotten a full 209 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: college degree, and it ended up the person's very, very bright, 210 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: but the person never learned how to study, you know, 211 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: twelve years of school, four years of you know, college, 212 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: and they still couldn't study for a fundamental exam, you know, 213 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: when they want to pick up a specific profession, and 214 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: it took a little outside help to get them over 215 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: the hump. But I mean, I mean, that's a lot 216 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: of kids today. I don't think I'm overstating that, am. 217 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 5: I You're not overstating it. The truth is that our 218 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 5: education system has devolved into one that's simply cycle students through. 219 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 5: Whether or not they mastered the material is irrelevant. They 220 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 5: just get pushed on and on and on, and then 221 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 5: we created this myth that in order to be successful, 222 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 5: everyone has to go to college, when the truth is, 223 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 5: I mean, listen, in my classroom, I have about fifty 224 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 5: percent minority students. Yet every student, almost every student, fails 225 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 5: the Citizenship exam when I give it the first day 226 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 5: of the semester. And it really is a sad state 227 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 5: of affairs when the students know little about the country 228 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 5: that they come from. You know. Common Core was implemented 229 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 5: coerce to the States by the Department of Education in 230 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 5: twenty ten based on the idea it's going to improve students' 231 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 5: critical thinking skills, that they're going to perform better on exams. 232 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 5: We have the data. It failed. It was a miserable failure. 233 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 5: Student proficiency is at the lowest levels. Students don't know 234 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 5: as much as they used to and they are unable 235 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: to think critically. So we have to get to the 236 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: root of a problem because as the world's sole superpower, 237 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 5: how long can we remain that way? If we have 238 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 5: a bunch of students that are graduating yet they can't read, write, 239 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: or think, they can't solve problems. And that's what it's become. 240 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 5: That's the challenge that we face, and we need serious 241 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: people to make serious reforms and fix this problem before 242 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: it's too late. 243 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: You know, I agree with you. You know, there was 244 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: an interesting article Eric that I think you en buyer 245 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: would find interesting about, you know, the next generation of 246 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: millionaires and you know who they were talking about, trades people. 247 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: Can you imagine? I mean, and I've encouraged. 248 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: Young people that don't like school, they don't like studying, 249 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: they don't like they don't like regurgitation, they love working 250 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: with their hands. I enjoyed the ten years I spent 251 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: in the construction business. I loved my time in the 252 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: restaurant business. That was twenty years of my life doing 253 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: both and is the best thing I think I ever did. 254 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: And then I got behind a radio microphone and the 255 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: light goes on and to change my life. But you 256 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: know that was serendipitous, that that was not by design. 257 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: But long story short, I think that that's got to 258 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: be a consideration too. We don't ever even factor that anymore. Well, 259 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: you got to go to college. You got to go 260 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: to college. And I was as guilty as any parent 261 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: because I insisted my kids go to college, whether they 262 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: liked it or not. 263 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 4: Well, and many parents are waking up this, especially with 264 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 4: a level of anti Semitism that is on college campuses. 265 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 4: Parents are looking for alternatives for their children to succeed 266 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 4: in life, whether that means going through trades or being 267 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 4: entrepreneurs themselves. American ingenuity and capitalism is what made us 268 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: the leader of the free world. And not unleash that 269 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 4: ingenuity and innovation in the education space, we will continue 270 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: to fall further and further behind. As Nicholas said, we 271 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: cannot be the world leader. We cannot continue to maintain 272 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 4: our place in the world if we cannot educate our children. 273 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 4: We have already fallen too far behind, and we have 274 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 4: to bring a free market, capitalistic principles into education, give 275 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 4: parents power and eliminate the monopoly and bureaucracy in order 276 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 4: to propel us forward. 277 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate what both of you are doing, and you're 278 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: raising the level of conversation. We can approach like everything else, 279 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: national defense, peace in the world, energy, border security and safety, 280 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: law and order. We have to look at everything anew 281 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: and fresh, with fresh set of eyes and innovative ideas. 282 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: Nicholas Jordonald, Thank you erica' donald's. We always appreciate you 283 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: coming back. Thank you for being with us. Eight hundred 284 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: nine to four one. Sean is our number. If you 285 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. 286 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: Breaking news all afternoon. 287 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: When you get off work, be sure to check in 288 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: first for everything you missed during the day. 289 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: This is the Sean Hannity Show. 290 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Let's get back to our busy phones. So many have 291 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: you been so patient today? Doug is in Louisiana. Doug, 292 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: thank you for your patience. Glad you hung in there, 293 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: and what's on your mind today? 294 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 6: Thanks Sean. Look, I think we've officially moved from Trump 295 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 6: derangement syndrome to Musk derangement syndrome. It's obvious that those 296 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 6: on the left have just absolutely lost their mind where 297 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 6: Elon Musk is concerned. And I think that's nowhere more 298 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 6: evident than them saying that he is not qualified to 299 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 6: be running DOGE when I think that he's possibly the 300 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 6: singlely most qualified individual on the planet to be doing 301 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 6: this job. And I think what he did at Or 302 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 6: is just proof of that. You know, he comes in, 303 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 6: he buys one of the most successful companies on the 304 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 6: face of the earth, and then within an incredibly short 305 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 6: period of time I analyze this, the situation, synthesizes that 306 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 6: information and then cuts eighty percent of the workforce. 307 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 5: And I don't know. 308 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 6: About you, my tweet still went out after eighty percent 309 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 6: of the workforce was gone, you know, no loss of productivity, 310 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 6: no loss of efficiency. So the guy obviously is very 311 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 6: very good at what he does, and he's doing it 312 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 6: for us, the American people. 313 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it really is amazing. And one of the 314 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: reasons I was so happy to do this interview is because, look, 315 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: there were obligatory questions that if I didn't ask, the 316 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: media would go crazy. Right, what do you do if 317 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: there's a conflict. I already knew the answer, but I 318 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: have to ask it. But and it's a fair question. 319 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: To be honest, that is a fair question. I always 320 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: thought it was a stupid question, but I knew if 321 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: I didn't ask. But you know, the media, Hannity didn't 322 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: ask the most important question, who's in charge. I'm like, okay, 323 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: I'll ask the stupid question, but just to get it 324 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: out of the way. And there were a few other 325 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, are you going to take grandma and Grandpa's 326 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Social Security away? 327 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: And and no, the answer is no. 328 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: And but beyond that, that's not what fascinated me and 329 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: interested me the most about him. The fact that he's 330 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: doing this for free. And we got into in this 331 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: interview which we played part you know, more of it today, 332 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: part to today, and that is his desire to advance humankind. 333 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, not many of us wake up in the 334 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: morning and start thinking about, you know, how we can 335 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: put plants on Mars and put men and women on Mars. 336 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: Most of us don't wake up in the morning figuring out, well, 337 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: how can we have communications in one hundred countries that 338 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: are only have you know, sporadic communication capability? 339 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: And that what starlink does. 340 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: You know, most of us can never be the chief 341 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: engineer of SpaceX and figure out a way to retrieve, 342 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: retrieve the rocket as it's landing on Earth, so you 343 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: can reuse this thing and save a fortune. You know, 344 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: nobody really has ever gone as deep into robotics and 345 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence and this whole project of neural link that 346 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: he's involved in, which might be able to He's hopeful. 347 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 1: He seemed very hopeful, actually, like inspiringly hopeful, that that 348 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: might be able to help the blind to see again, 349 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: or people with spinal cord injuries to walk again. And 350 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: then he'll work for free. And the President said this 351 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 1: is the most important work he'll ever do, because he's 352 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: and then he went into this long explanation about how 353 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: we need to save our country. And as I'm listening 354 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: back to this, and I remember sitting there kind of like, Wow, 355 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: We're lucky to have people like him in our country 356 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: that are willing to serve in spite of all of 357 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: the name calling and cursing and singing and ranting and 358 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: raving and raging that has gone on and hysteria that 359 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: has been associated with him, you know, trying to get 360 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: this country's but budget under control so we don't rob 361 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: from our kids and grandkids and stop robbing from the 362 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: American people. 363 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: That's what fascinated me. Did you find the same thing? 364 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 6: Absolutely? And you know, one of the signs of a 365 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 6: great leaders to surround yourself with people that are smarter 366 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 6: than you are. And that's exactly what President Trump has 367 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 6: done in this case. He's surrounding himself with the best 368 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 6: of the best. And the fact that the left continues 369 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 6: to fight against it. If we cannot agree on getting 370 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 6: way rid of waste and fraud and abuse in our 371 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 6: federal government, I don't know what we'll ever agree on. 372 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 6: It's maddening to me that they are screaming and moaning 373 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 6: about this. It just shows how far they have gone. 374 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 6: They've they've they've They're completely off the charts. 375 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: It really are. 376 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, actually it really is.

What's up, Paul? 380 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: How are you glad? 381 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 2: You called? 382 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 6: Are Hey? Sean? So I'm going to start out by 383 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 6: saying you migrated from New York to Florida. I migrated 384 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 6: from Illinois to Texas, and like you. 385 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: You made a good choice. 386 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: Texas was definitely in my eyesight, there was no doubt 387 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: about it. I just I just like being near the 388 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: water a little bit more probably than you do. 389 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 6: I got you. I feel like I have moved to 390 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 6: a different country. It's just spectacular. 391 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: So by the way, I feel the same way. And 392 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: I explained, you know, I'll tell you what I explained. 393 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: I've had many friends now come visit me, especially during 394 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: the winter months, and they come here and they're like, 395 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: what the hell am I staying up there? 396 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: For? What am I doing? And they see and I 397 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: live in a townhouse. 398 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: I don't even live And you know, I used to 399 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: have this big, sprawling, six and a half acre spread 400 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: in Long Island, New York. I don't have that anymore. 401 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: I don't want it. And trust me, I'm so happy. 402 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: And I just like waking up. I like being able 403 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: to sleep with my windows and doors open, don't worry 404 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm protecting myself and not have to and feel, you know, 405 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: a cool breeze at night and not be freezing my you. 406 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 6: Know what off I totally agree. And when it's when 407 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 6: it's eighty degrees in February and blue sunny skies, and 408 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 6: I'm not them. I go, yeah, it's it's it's amazing. 409 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,239 Speaker 6: It's just amazing. I wish I had moved down here 410 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 6: thirty years ago. And that's that's the purpose of my 411 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 6: phone call today. I have a campaign strategy. I want 412 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 6: to share it with you and just get your thoughts. 413 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 6: So my opinion, Republicans have never had a greater opportunity 414 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 6: to make inroads into the inner cities. Why for thirty 415 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 6: years I've lived in Chicago and the Democratic policies have 416 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 6: failed those citizens. And now you see what's coming out 417 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 6: with Doge. You're finding the tax dollars wasted a going 418 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 6: across the globe and not to our own citizens in 419 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 6: our own cities. This is unacceptable. So here's my thought. 420 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 6: You have a non traditional strategy in twenty four where 421 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 6: the President and JD went on podcasts and it paid 422 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 6: off in earning many votes. My non traditional campaign strategy 423 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 6: for twenty five is right now, the President and JD 424 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: should be holding rallies in the inner cities of the 425 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 6: blue swing stakes. Start right now and do it. In 426 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 6: twenty five, twenty six, and twenty seven, there are many 427 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 6: votes that can be earned in twenty eight in these 428 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 6: traditionally blue cities that have not been available before. Here's 429 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 6: how I see it, really simple. These blue cities and 430 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 6: citizens are now powder cakes. They are primed for change, 431 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 6: and the Democrats, with their bad policies and the subsequent 432 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 6: doage findings have gifted Republicans of the powder to blow 433 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 6: up the map. Here would be my act, as you 434 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 6: were in conversations with the powers to be. Don't fly 435 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 6: over those blue cities and those blue states anymore. I 436 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 6: left them, but I know what's going on there, and 437 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 6: I think there are votes to be found for two 438 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 6: thousand and eight, but we got to do the work 439 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 6: today twenty five twenty. 440 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad idea. However, I would 441 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: say this the problem with states like California, New York, 442 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: and Illinois, and I wouldn't. 443 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 2: Even include New Jersey. 444 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: I think New Jersey might have a glimmer of hope 445 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: and your strategy could be successful. I would hope that 446 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: the same would be for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and 447 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 1: I put them on the map, I'd add them to 448 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the You know what, we gotta get to work the 449 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: problem that we face, and I have articles about New 450 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: York today. For example, in New York they are now 451 00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: going to require in newly constructed homes that contractors, you know, 452 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: put in a sprinkler mandate. Now I know because when 453 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: I had a home in Long Island, I had a 454 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: sprinkler mandate when I did some construction on the third 455 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: floor of my home. And it costs up fortunate because 456 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: it costs as much as thirty grand to put this 457 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: in a house, and that it's killing the opportunity of people. 458 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: It's like attacks on people. And most homes don't need 459 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: sprinkler systems. They just don't. And it's too costly, you know. 460 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: And this is the type of thing that has chased 461 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: people away. And the people that might be more otherwise 462 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: more open to new ideas are not going there because 463 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: they've left people like me. You know, I had one 464 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo. It's not personal if you are one of 465 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: those conserve it is that is, you know, pro life 466 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: and pro sect assault weapon. And he says anti gay. 467 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm not anti gay. I'm not anti anybody. Live your 468 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: own life. You're an adult. I don't care. 469 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: You know, you're not in New Yorker, and you have 470 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: no place in the state of New York. 471 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 4: They have no place in the state of New York citizens. 472 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: That's not who New Yorkers are. 473 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 7: And we're here to say that the era of Trump 474 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 7: and Zelden and mon Arrow. Just jump on a bus 475 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 7: and head down to Florida where you belonged. Okay, get 476 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 7: out of town. Get out of town because you don't read, 477 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 7: you don't represent our values. You are not New Yorkers. 478 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 2: All right, I guess I fit that definition, don't I. 479 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 6: That's that's just insane. You just played and Sean, I'll 480 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 6: give it to you. Maybe it's not New York, Illinois, California, 481 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 6: But is it Virginia? 482 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: Is it Michigan? 483 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 6: Is it Arizona? Is it Nevada? 484 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: We prove we can win Michigan. We prove we can 485 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: win Pennsylvania. We prove we can win Wisconsin.

And they're 500 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: going to leave for a variety of reasons, not the 501 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: least which is to save money. 502 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 6: Right, so, a safety, security, and prosperity. I think that's 503 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 6: it's really simple. That's that's why I packed up in 504 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 6: Barbara streisand said she was going to Europe, and people 505 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 6: talked about going to Canada or you know that. I 506 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 6: packed up my family and we left Illinois and moved 507 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 6: to Texas because of what was going on in the 508 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 6: state of the communist state of Illinois.
