I'm right, because 27 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 7: you're going home. I got another message, another message to 28 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 7: the criminal cartels in Mexico. You're smuggling a fener off 29 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 7: across this country to kill one hundred and forty eight 30 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 7: thousand young Americans. You have killed more Americans than every 31 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 7: terrorist organization in the world combined. And that's when President 32 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 7: Trump gets back in office, he's going to designate you 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 7: a terrorist organization and he's going to wipe you off 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 7: the face of the earth. 35 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: You're done, You're done. 36 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 8: Follow me, follow me. 37 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 4: There's a chance to course correct it. But uh, it 38 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: would take the new new Trump administration going after it 39 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: really hard. How would they correct it? Well, first of all, 40 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 4: you got a fire. You gotta fire the Chairman of 41 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: Joint Chiefs, and you got to fire this. I mean 42 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: obviously gonna bring in a new Secretary of Defense. But 43 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that was 44 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 4: involved in any of the DEI WOP, it's gotta go. 45 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: Either you're in for war fighting that and that's it. 46 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 4: That's the only litmus test we care about. You got 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 4: to get DEI and c RT out of military academy 48 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: so you're not training young officers to be baptized in 49 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 4: this type of thinking. And then you know, whatever the standards, 50 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: whatever the combat standards were saying, I don't know nineteen 51 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 4: ninety five, let's just make those the standards. And as 52 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: far as recruiting to hire the guy that you know 53 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: did top gun Maverick and create some real ads that 54 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: motivate people that want to serve. 55 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: You asked for it, you got it. Great news, Ted 56 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Cruz announcing this morning that he will vote for Rick 57 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Scott for Senate Majority Leader. And that is a good thing. 58 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 6: It is such a sign that nobody in Texas, you know, 59 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 6: I have received thousands of emails asking me to convey 60 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 6: to Ted Cruz, and in many cases saying that they've 61 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 6: called his phones, they've called his offices in Texas and DC, 62 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 6: They've reached out to him on social media. 63 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: And it is not an exaggeration when I tell you, 64 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: not one of them, not one asked that he vote 65 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: for fellow Texan John Cornyn, not a single one, not 66 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: that he was ever going to. There was no worry 67 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: of that he was going to vote for John Thune 68 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: of South Dakota. He has changed his vote, which will 69 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: be today to Rick Scott. That's all I can say 70 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: on that other than to say that we got the 71 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: result we were seeking, and that is a good thing. 72 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: I don't typically do breaking news, as you have heard 73 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: me say, and as you should know by now, because 74 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: that's not our thing, not a news organization, and most 75 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: primary news is shall I say, biased, So for me 76 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: to do breaking news, I would have to be relying 77 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: on another news agency that has broke the news, and 78 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: I don't trust that. So you can trust that if 79 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: I am giving you breaking news, I have reason to 80 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: know that it is accurate.

Don't source me on this, 195 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: but some people within the education hierarchy are concerned some 196 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: of the things you said could put us in violation 197 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: of our state and federal funding.

So if you promise that you're 205 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: gonna shut down, you know, transitioning of kids into school, 206 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: and I listen, I'll tell you, I'm an assistant superintendent. 207 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: I will tell you I think I think we could 208 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: we could we could bolster our policies, we could make 209 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: them more robust. And you know, I'll tell you I'm 210 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: new to the district. I've only been here for eighteen years. 211 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: I will tell you that what that we need, we 212 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: do need more community engagement. Do we need committees to 213 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: review some of these things and make sure that we 214 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: have complete buy in and community. Yes, absolutely, and we're 215 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna do that. Okay, you've got my commitment. We're going 216 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: to do that. What I don't want is for you 217 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: to go out and speak to, you know, some of 218 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: these homeowners groups and some of the chambers of commerce 219 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: and things and make promises on things like Trump and 220 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: nothing against Trump. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing Trump. 221 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: But you get out there and you make a statement 222 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: that you meant as harmless it came from a good spot, 223 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: and then we are potentially subjected to state funding or lawsuits. 224 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, this is one of the things. You know, 225 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: we're going to catch you up to speed on your 226 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: new board member orientation, but there are a lot of 227 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: lawsuits and now you are in an official capacity as 228 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: a school board member, and I know the last thing 229 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: you want to do is get the school board in 230 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: legal trouble. And of course they can go after you personally. 231 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: So what I would suggest is enjoy this victory, you know, 232 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: start preparing yourself reading about education policy. Uh. This is 233 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: going to be a really really in re a ching 234 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: time for you, and I think you're going to enjoy 235 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: your service.

There are people 474 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: who are established who think they run the district, but 475 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: you were elected to be their bosses, and never ever 476 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: back down, and stay strong and support each other, and 477 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: you will be able to make this happen. Mari Anne, 478 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: what specifically with regard to discipline are you concerned about, 479 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: because I'm for bringing back spanking and i am for 480 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: bringing back tough punishments. 481 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 9: Well, I think you know, there's been a lot done 482 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 9: in recent years that have really limited what teachers can 483 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 9: do regarding sending out students from the classroom. A lot 484 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 9: of time those kids come right back in. So there's 485 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 9: some stuff that we need to address at the state 486 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 9: level regarding the discipline code. But then also how we 487 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 9: handle it locally, you know, maybe with more leveled consequences 488 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 9: so kids know the expectations and we hold them to it. 489 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: Lindsey, let's talk about finances. I see these school districts 490 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: around here building one hundred million dollars sports stadiums and 491 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: they'll throw in swimming and some other things just to 492 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: get community buy in. What are we going to do? 493 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: What are you going to do to rein this in 494 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: and reduce taxes and deliver better education. 495 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 5: Well, Michael, you may not know, but right now we 496 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 5: have a twelve million dollar deficit conor isd does because 497 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 5: of our overspending. So the first thing that we're going 498 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 5: to have to do is have an extensive third party 499 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 5: audit done to see where the money is going to 500 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 5: make sure it's not just at the top, but it's 501 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 5: actually getting to the classrooms. Because right now teachers have 502 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 5: to buy their own supplice at the beginning of every year. 503 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 5: That should not be the case. It needs to be 504 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 5: students based budgeting, classroom prioritize first. 505 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: I agree. I played extracurriculars. It was a great experience. 506 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: I believe in it. I think you learn a lot 507 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: of things from that. But you have to get back 508 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: to the in classroom education. And the fact is too 509 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: much is spent outside the education. It is the teacher 510 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: and the student. Are any of you former teachers. 511 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 9: My fellow Marianne and Melissa? 512 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: Are Maranna and Melissa?

Who's the professor? 514 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 9: The realtor jacket? 515 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 5: Love that? 516 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: Oh, please don't say that again. I felt bad after 517 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: I said that. That's just me trying to be. 518 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 5: So misty. 519 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 10: Is an educator, Mary Anne, Melissa are all educators? 520 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: Ladies. Promised me that a year from now I will 521 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: not be disappointed because y'all got in there and sold out. 522 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I have this idea that it is just 523 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: going to be a glorious, glorious moment of reform, and 524 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: that across the country, I mean, I'm not kidding.

Ramon says he's going to 529 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: try to be there, but no promises.
