There was a math problem in there, right. 77 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 5: Let's listen. 78 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 4: We spend one point eight five eight billion dollars a 79 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: year on trio. Yes, that's one thousand, five hundred and 80 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 4: eighty million dollars a year, so my math, right, sir? 81 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: And how long have we been spending one thousand, five 82 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: hundred and eighty million dollars a year on this problem? 83 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 4: More than ten years?

Don't 87 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: have to be a mathematician. Maybe there's a Democrat on 88 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: this committee who can help them out a little bit. 89 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 6: I'm secretary, and I'm not a great mathematician, but I 90 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 6: think you were talking about a trellion dollars. I believe 91 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 6: one point five billion times ten is fifteen billion dollars. 92 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 6: That's a little bit off from a tree and dollars. 93 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 3: But I think the budget catch one point two billion, well. 94 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 6: One point two that would be twelve billion dollars, not 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 6: a trillion dollars. 96 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: Okay, Jesus Christ can we do some historical hiccups while 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 5: we're here, Let's do some historical hiccups. 98 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: Do you know what the Tulsa race massacre is? 99 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: I like to look into it more and get back 100 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: to you on it. 101 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'll look forward at that. 102 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 5: How about the book through my Eyes about ruby bridges? 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: For instance? 104 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: I haven't read that. Have you learned about ruby bridges? 105 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: If you have specific examples you like that was a 106 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: specific example, I'll be very happy.

There's no card for that. That's just 113 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: yes or no. 114 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: I can look at it. 115 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: Whatever cardal Holocaust education? Is it a d You can 116 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: have a press conference to say whatever you want. I 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: just need a quick answer to this is Holocaust because 118 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: this is my time. Is Holocaust education a DEI program? 119 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 4: No? 120 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Is African American studies a DEI program? 121 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: Think I answered? 122 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm asking it again, yes or no? 123 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: We could be able to teach ques. 124 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: My point is They are DEI programs, both of them, 125 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: because students need diversity, equity, and inclusion to understand their environments. 126 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You 127 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: can't support one without supporting the other. 128 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 5: Now, I'm not the highest grade weed in the dispensary, 129 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: but it's safe to say she has no idea what 130 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 5: she's talking about, and she's the Secretary of Education. 131 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: These aren't isolated incidents, Ladies in Ghettleman. 132 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 5: Linda McMahon has previously referred to artificial intelligence as a one. Okay, 133 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: A one is a delicious state sauce. Okay, not AI. 134 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 5: All right, and listen. One thing that Trump administration has 135 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 5: not done yet and its second term is proved people wrong. Okay, 136 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 5: Linda McMahon is not qualified to be Department of Education. 137 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: But we know this as soon as it was announced. 138 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 5: Okay, I don't understand the attack on DEI. The basis 139 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 5: of it is people aren't qualified for their jobs. They 140 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 5: are just getting them because of their identity. Hello, what's 141 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 5: the difference here? Okay, Linda got this job because she's 142 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 5: friends with Donald Trump. If you identify as a loyalist 143 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 5: to Trump, you get these kinds of positions. So what 144 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 5: I really hate is when people say things like this 145 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 5: Senate hearing is casting doubt on her ability to lead 146 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 5: the Department of Education, effectively casting doubt. Listen, having Linda 147 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 5: McMahon as Secretary of Education. That's like giving DJ academics 148 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 5: to bottles of Hennessy and asking him to run a 149 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: quiet meditation retreat. 150 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: Okay, Linda, you can't. 151 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 5: Go in front of the Senate and get put in 152 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: a crippler crossface by basic math. Okay, Linda can script 153 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 5: the Undertaker coming back from the dead, but can't script 154 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 5: the coherent answer to how numbers work. I'm not saying 155 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 5: everybody in government needs to be a genius, but if 156 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: you're gonna run education, you should probably know how to 157 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 5: count and maybe just maybe understand a little. 158 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: Bit of America's history. 159 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: I know that Linda McMahon being Secretary of Education is 160 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 5: fantastic content for you know, late night talk show hosts 161 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 5: and morning show radio hosts.
