1 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: A ruling is in in the deep blue state of 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: New York on whether not illegals or even just non 3 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: citizens can vote in New York City. Find out what 4 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the deep blue state decided. And also the Keystone Pipeline. 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Remember all of those protests, Well, in hilarity, the organizers 6 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: of the protest got hit with hundreds of millions of 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: dollars in fights. We'll talk about that and a bunch 8 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: more on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: is jobb. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. This is 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 1: Turning Point Tonight. Now, before we get into any of that, 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: there is so much talk about the judges that are 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: blocking the Trump administration from doing what the Trump administration 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: has the authority to do. Now, we can argue about 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: whether or not they have the constitutional power and all 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, But this is what I thought 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: was fascinating and I didn't know this and I would 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: love to share this information with you. Okay, so we've 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: seen the judges at the federal level say President Trump, 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: you can't do this. Okay, fine, Well, what actually has 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: to happen for a judge to issue injunction. Let's take 22 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: USAID for example. USAID fired a bunch of employees, stopped 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of aid, and a judge said, no, you 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: can't do that. These employees need to go back to work. Okay, Well, 25 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: technically speaking, if you are the party that is looking 26 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: for the court to issue an injunction in other words, 27 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: USAID employees or the unions, you actually have to put 28 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: up a bond to show that effectively you are serious. 29 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: The employees of USAID or whoever is bringing the lawsuit 30 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: against the administration, if they're going to get a preemptive 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: injunction from the judge, they have to put up a 32 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: bond that would effectively cover the costs if in fact 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: they were wrong. In other words, whoever's bringing this lawsuit 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: needs to pay for all of the employees, the cell phones, 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: the laptops, the returning to work, all of that stuff 36 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: upfronts ineffectively an escrow bond type situation. In order for 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: the judge to issue any sort of injunction, the rules 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: state that the judge has to set a limit for 39 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: the number being put up for bond at a reasonable 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: cost to reimburse the government. In this case, if in fact, 41 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: the government is right. Now. The question is whether or 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: not that happened in the case of the USAID preemptive 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: injunction of saying, Hey, no, Trump, you can't, you can't 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: fire all these people. The bond that was put up 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: by the people seeking the injunction was one hundred dollars. 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Now you tell me whether or not that one hundred 47 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: dollars is going to cover the money that the American 48 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: tax payer loses for sending those USAID members back to work. 49 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: We have a crazy problem with activist judges in this country, 50 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and we would love to talk about that with our 51 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: awesome panel today. Harrison Weinhold works at The Blaze and 52 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: Savanna Hernandez is a Turning Point USA contributor, and both 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: of us joined us today. Guys, thanks for coming. 54 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: On, Thanks for having us. 55 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: Joe, Bob, Savannah. I want to start with you. We'll 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: go ladies first because we believe in traditional gender roles here. So, okay, 57 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: we've seen so many of these judges issue these these 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: like well Trump, they blocked Trump and their activist judges. 59 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know about the bond that the people seeking 60 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: injunctions needed to put up, but probably what's on the 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: top of everybody's mind is a judge recently came out 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: and said, okay, well you have to put the transgenders 63 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: back in the military. There was a ruling that a 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: judge said, the law does not demand the court to 65 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: rubber stamped theological judgments based on conjecture, which he called 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: what the administration was trying to do. I think broad 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: question here, Savannah, at what point does it become unconstitutional 68 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: for the judges who caused toucially have the right to 69 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: check the president, to be activists in effect and circumvent 70 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: how we do things in this country. 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: You know, I've been following this a lot, Joe, Bob, 72 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: and my main takeaway is I refuse to call these 73 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: judges judges, because that's exactly what they are, are activists. 74 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 3: A lot of people have equated this to a judicial coup, 75 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: and I honestly would agree. I mean, we did not 76 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 3: vote for these people. We gave Donald Trump and his 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: entire administration the mandate on the promises that he made 78 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: to the American people. And it's so crazy to me 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: now to see judges trying to stop deportation flights, trying 80 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: to put transgender people back in the military, you know, 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: Rob Smith did a really great video about this where 82 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: he said, every transgender military member is non combat deployable, 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: meaning we can't send them, you know, overseas. They're basically 84 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: they're doing administrative work. And then after they leave the military, 85 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 3: we are on the hook for all of their medical bills, aka, 86 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: all of their transgender medical medicine, whatever, whatever. 87 00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: Whatever. 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: The point is, what are we doing in this country, 89 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: Joe Bob, these judicial activists are out of control? 90 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, Harrison kind of a similar tugging on that thread here. 91 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: It seems like a systematic problem. It seems like, okay, well, 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: we can't have this system where you can just hold 93 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: up the administration for weeks, months, years, even longer than that, 94 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: and then you can't get anything done. What do we 95 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: do to fix the system here? 96 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: Well, it's like these judges are reading the law like 97 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 5: their horoscope, and it just seems to like it's just 98 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 5: like how they decide to feel based on the winds 99 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 5: that are blowing, which is really sad. It almost this 100 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 5: is also going up to the Supreme Court. It's like 101 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 5: we know exactly how the Democrats or the liberals on 102 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 5: the court are going to vote every time there's a vote, 103 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 5: and we have no idea how these self proclaimed conservatives 104 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 5: are going to vote, and it's completely like based on 105 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 5: like they're worried about their reputation, which is I thought 106 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 5: that was a whole point of like lifelong appointments, like 107 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 5: you have this breadth of basically you're gonna have this 108 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 5: position your whole life, and the wins of you know, 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 5: opinion are going to change. So yeah, none of this 110 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 5: makes any sense. I think we have to. There's plenty 111 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 5: of precedent of a president pushing back on the courts, 112 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: and I think if you just go to FDR or 113 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 5: even or Jackson, I mean, both of these guys were 114 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 5: basically like, we will make the Supreme Court completely irrelevant. 115 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: If this is how you're basically gonna act, they have 116 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 5: no enforcement arm, there's nothing they can do. I don't 117 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 5: think we really need to get to that point because 118 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 5: I just you know, it will obviously just be really 119 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 5: horrible again when it's used against the right. But I 120 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 5: mean it's not the point now where if the federal 121 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 5: government or if the executive can't get anything done because 122 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 5: of a low level federal district judge, then yeah, we 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 5: don't have democracy in this country. And this is like 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: actually like civil war type stuff that you're you're investing with, 125 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 5: because now the entire country feels like they're being nullified 126 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 5: by activist judges, people that weren't elected at all. 127 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you know, I'm hoping we're far away from 128 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: any sort of physical confrontation God forbid. But yeah, it's 129 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: a it is a constitutional crisis, to say the least. 130 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: What also would be a constitutional crisis it was what 131 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: was going on in New York City a couple of 132 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: years ago. Bill Deblasio signed a bill into law I believe, yeah, 133 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two that non citizens could vote in 134 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: municipal elections. In other words, vote for New York City's mayor, 135 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: the biggest, largest, probably most powerful city in the country, 136 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: if not the world. People that weren't even citizens could vote, 137 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: which would have allowed eight hundred or so people to 138 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: be eligible to vote. The ruling has finally come down 139 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: almost three years later. The Court of Appeals in the 140 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: New York State, the top court there, voted six to 141 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: one to say, no, you can't have non citizens vote. 142 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: That's right there in the constitution. But kind of same 143 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: problem exists. This took three years for the courts to 144 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: sort out. So I guess, Savannah one, what the heck 145 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: was the New York City thinking what kind of a 146 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: law is this? 147 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 6: In? 148 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: Two? Like, going back to this systematic problem of this 149 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: taking so freaking long, how do we expedite things that 150 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: are clearly unconstitutional? 151 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the fact that this even went to 152 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: court is ridiculous. What other country on earth is arguing 153 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: as to whether or not illegal immigrants are allowed to 154 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: vote in, you know, their elections. Granted with the modern 155 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: day that we're living in, it's actually probably a lot, sadly, 156 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: but it just goes to show how far away we 157 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: strayed from normalcy, from again the foundations of this country. Right, 158 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: this is pretty cut and dry stuff, and I think 159 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: the way that we expedite these processes, the way that 160 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: we fix things and clean things up, is quite frankly, 161 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: to take the naib Bukelli approach. Gather everybody in the 162 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: country up who works federally and just go, you know what, 163 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 3: you're all in under investigation for criminal acts. So if 164 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: you are innocent and credible, if you're not, by I know, 165 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: that's extreme, but also it worked very well for al 166 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: Salvadore obviously a much smaller country than ours, but I 167 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: feel like that's the level we're at. I mean, we've 168 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: argued whether or not immigrants can vote in our elections. 169 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: Are we living in crazytown? And the fact that we 170 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: have men walking around saying that they're women and if 171 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: you don't agree, you get punched in space probably means 172 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: that we are living in crazytown. 173 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: If I'm a non citizen and I identify as they them, 174 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: do I get to vote multiple times? Because of the. 175 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 3: Role I identify as a US citizen Joebob, I. 176 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Identify as US citizen, and I also identify as multiple 177 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: people as a they, So I think I get to vote. 178 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: I get to vote multiple times. Harrison, So similar type 179 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: of this sort of situation has been going on in 180 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: various parts of the country. I believe in Washington, don't 181 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: quote me on that state, where not only non citizens 182 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: can vote, but children effectively in some local municipalities. I 183 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: think as young as like thirteen years old, Like, yeah, 184 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: thirteen years old in terms of like be able to 185 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: secure elections. Obviously, this New York thing is kind of 186 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: a localized thing, but overall throughout the country, how do 187 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: we kind of reinstate the value of the vote. One, 188 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, obviously you have to be eligible to vote, 189 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: but two that you can't just let these you know, 190 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: small local municipalities make up their own rules that are 191 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: completely opposite of the Constitution. 192 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think since twenty sixteen, I believe San Francisco's 193 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 5: allowed non citizens or I'm sorry, non citizen parents. I 194 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 5: was looking this up as you were talking about because 195 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 5: it really is kind of insane. Non citizen parents of 196 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 5: kids can vote in school board elections. Okay, So it's 197 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 5: like this is how this is basically the game plan 198 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 5: of everything on the left. It's like they tell you you're 199 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: crazy because you believe in the standard of like, hey, 200 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: this is gonna this causes a slippery slope, right, And 201 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 5: then they just say, wow, you're just like a psych 202 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 5: Like what slippery slope? 203 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: What do you think is gonna happen? 204 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 5: Like we're gonna let a legals vote for the president soon, 205 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: like and that's literally what they're trying to do. By 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 5: any measure. There's no good reason they let a full 207 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 5: blown invasion over the past four years other than they 208 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 5: fully believed that they were going to have to bring 209 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 5: the Republicans to the table to make these people eligible 210 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: voters at the very least. 211 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: Uh, you know what I think is interesting? Sorry, were 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: you finished? Oh? No, go ahead, Well, what I think 213 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: is interesting about that whole slippery slope thing living in California. California, 214 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: when it was put to a vote in two thousand 215 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: and eight on whether or not gay marriage would be 216 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: recognized in the state, a bunch of people were like, 217 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: this is hey, this is a slippery slope. Sooner or 218 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: later you're gonna have, you know, pedophilia be normalized in 219 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: the state level, and people doing terrible things to each 220 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: other and to children that's gonna be normalized. Turns out, 221 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, at several a couple decades later, decond and 222 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: a half later, all of the things that people were 223 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: warning about with slippery slope turned out to be pretty accurate. 224 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that is a strategy that the 225 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: Libs use quite a bit that we should be very 226 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: very wary of, especially in things as obvious as non 227 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: citizens voting. Savanna Hernandez Harrison Weinhold will be back to 228 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: discuss some more stuff, including that Keystone pipeline settlement that 229 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: I think is hilarious and I think you will think 230 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: it's hilarious as well. But coming up, we'll check in 231 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: with White House Correspondent Monica Page at the White House. 232 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Right after this, we'll be right back. Don't go away. 233 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Turning Point tonight, where we are charting 234 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback. My name is Jobob. 235 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for sticking with us. Let's check in 236 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: with Turning Points White House Correspondent Monica Page as well. 237 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: We're talking education today. We've been talking about the Department 238 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: of Education for a while and there's some recent updates 239 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: coming out. Monica, what's going on? 240 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean since President Trump has become president, we 241 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 7: know that the Department of Education has slashed about four 242 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 7: thousand jobs already, but that's just the beginning. Today, President 243 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 7: Trumps signing an executive order to start dissolving the Department 244 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 7: of Education. Now this isn't completely removing it right off 245 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 7: the bat. That's going to take some time and needs 246 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 7: to go through Congress to actually pass. But slowly but 247 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 7: surely this will start to kind of remove some of 248 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 7: the employees from the Department of Education and take that 249 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 7: funding about three trillion dollars that we've spent on the 250 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 7: Department of Education and move it to the states, local 251 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 7: funding to these states here and their their curriculums and 252 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 7: their programs. I mean, you hear the leftalk all the 253 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 7: time that we need better schools, we need better education systems. 254 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 7: This will help with just that. And I mean since 255 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 7: its development in nineteen seventy nine under Jimmy Carter, I mean, 256 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 7: the cost per student has risen about two hundred and 257 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 7: forty five percent, but the return on investment hasn't been 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 7: so good. 259 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: Job Bob. 260 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 7: I mean, the test course have only risen about two 261 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 7: percent since nineteen seventy nine. I mean, that's not much 262 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 7: of a difference at all. 263 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 4: So a lot of people are really upset about this. 264 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 7: Our students really aren't getting the best education. They aren't 265 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 7: really seeing any kind of significant improvement in test scores, 266 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 7: especially year over years. So this is hoping to kind 267 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 7: of combat that issue and set up our students and 268 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 7: schools for success from now on. Yeah. 269 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: You know, what I think is really interesting about this 270 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: is that the education system as a whole has been 271 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: a lib thing. Liberals have been like, we are the 272 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Party of Education, and you know whatever, and we've yeah, 273 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: like You've said, the education system in the United States 274 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: has gone just downhill, and the trajectory is still downhill. 275 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: With that being said, is there any word out of 276 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: the White House how they're going to communicate that message 277 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: to the American people, Because you said, he does have 278 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: to get through Congress to completely dissolve the Department of Education. 279 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, while a lot 280 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: of us are skeptical that Congress will actually do it, 281 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: there is a chance that the White House can make 282 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: the case strong enough to the American people it's possible 283 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: to get through. 284 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 7: So that's exactly what President Trump is really hoping to do. 285 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 7: I mean from the President later on today, by the 286 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 7: time your show is on, will probably have already heard 287 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 7: from the President. But we also know that, you know, 288 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 7: the Republicans have the majority in the Senate we need 289 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 7: about but that probably won't be that enough that much. 290 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 7: You're probably about seven Democrats to really push through that 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 7: threshold to officially abolish the Department of Education essentially, but 292 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 7: hoping that President Trump can make that pitch and kind 293 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 7: of convince some of these Democrats and maybe some middle 294 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 7: of the road Republicans that you know, the abolishment of 295 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 7: the Department of Education will really essentially be a good thing. 296 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 7: So we can definitely expect the President to come out 297 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 7: maybe in the coming days or months to speak to 298 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 7: some of these Democrats, some of these Republicans and really 299 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 7: hope that this could become a thing from now on. 300 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 7: But I mean to be honest with you, Joe, Bob, 301 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 7: my mom is a high school English teacher and she 302 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 7: is in a full support of this. And you know, 303 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 7: you talk to a lot of teachers across the country 304 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 7: who are actually in support of the abolishment of the 305 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 7: Department of Education. 306 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: A lot of these public school advocates, a lot of. 307 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 7: These democrats like to say that this is going to 308 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 7: leave kids behind, But when you take a look at 309 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 7: some of the numbers here, you take a look at 310 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 7: actual teachers who love what they do and they're passionate 311 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 7: about it. They just want their students to get the 312 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 7: most out of their classes and the programs the schools 313 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 7: have to offer. And you know, they're too afraid to 314 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 7: speak out against the Department of Education, just how they 315 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 7: were too afraid to speak out against their own unions 316 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 7: and fear that the union would leave them. My mom 317 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 7: is one of them. So this is a very serious issue, 318 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 7: and I think it's one that could actually make a 319 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 7: material difference in the quality of how we raise our 320 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 7: children and in the quality of the school systems across 321 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 7: the board. 322 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you make the case of, well, kids are going 323 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: to get left behind. Yeah, kids are getting left behind 324 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: and it's because of limb policies and in the Department 325 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: of Education is not helping that at all. Monica Page, 326 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: White House correspondent, for turning point. Thanks so much for 327 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: joining us. Really appreciated. We'll talk to you tomorrows anytime. Thanks, Joebob, 328 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: thank you. Let's get back to our awesome panel talking 329 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: about this hilarious Keystone pipeline thing. So we remember the 330 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: Keystone pipeline that everybody was all in ruckus about several 331 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: years ago. Then Trump approved it and Biden disapproved it, 332 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: and then Trump's so went back. It has been a 333 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: whole thing for a very long time, and the protests 334 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: there have been well, let's just say, less than peaceful. Right, 335 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: everybody is for peaceful protests, no matter what side of 336 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: the al you're on. You should have the right to 337 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: speak your mind on an issue that you feel passionately about. However, 338 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: there is a line. You can't start damaging property, you 339 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: can't start ruining people's reputations. Defamation is a thing. There's 340 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of limits to where protests go, and 341 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: green Peace broke a bunch of those limits. According to 342 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: a jury. A jury has said that green Peace, who 343 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: arguably or at least you know what, no, they did 344 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: because this is in this court hearing that organized these 345 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: protests is ordered to pay six hundred and sixty million 346 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: dollars because they were found liable for defamation, trespass, nuanced 347 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: civil conspiracy, and other claims according to a jury. And 348 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: now it's funny because green Peace is now saying, oh, 349 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: hold on, well we did we didn't. Actually we weren't 350 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: super involved. We didn't really do any of that sort 351 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: of stuff. That that's crazy, Harrison, Uh does it does? 352 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it cool? Did we do? We feel 353 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: good about the retribution of people again breaking the law? Right, 354 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: that's where this all hinges on. You can't do that, 355 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: uh now actually getting forced to uh have to pay 356 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: penalties and face consequences for their actions. 357 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 5: So this is actually little known fact about me. I 358 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 5: grew up in the DC area. I actually canvassed for 359 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 5: green peace for a summer, and so I would stop 360 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 5: people on the street and give them a whole spiel. 361 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: About like air and whales and stuff like that. Uh. 362 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: And so this is all sort of like. 363 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 5: Really, this is like one of the greatest mess around 364 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 5: and find out events that we've ever that we've ever 365 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 5: seen by the Left. And this actually was so funny 366 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 5: to me. I know you're a stand up comedian, so 367 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 5: I got I wrote a couple jokes for you. 368 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: This is this one. 369 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 5: I don't know, because like if you're you're all audience 370 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 5: as much younger. So, uh, this is the most expensive 371 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 5: tree hugging episode since the Ewoks towards the second Death 372 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 5: Star in Return to Indoor. So that's like a really 373 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 5: you gotta be kind of a nerd to know that one. 374 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 5: But that's a good one, uh to use for the 375 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 5: old people. Uh. Tree hugging costs a lot more than 376 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 5: just hugging your therapist. One more I thought was kind 377 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 5: of kind of kind of good. I was just I was, 378 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 5: you know, I've been watching a lot of entertainment TV. Uh, 379 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 5: chaining yourself to the pipeline costs more than hiring Johnny 380 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 5: Depp for a Pirate sequel. Holy and I think it 381 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 5: was like two hundred million dollars like they could have bought. 382 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 5: They could have bought several professional sports teams. I think 383 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 5: for like six hundred million dollars, Like. 384 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, I could have bought all of 385 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: Major League. 386 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 5: Soccer I think for that amount of money and probably 387 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 5: made a bigger impact. 388 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Hey, well they could have. They could have bought Major 389 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: League Soccer and made him wear green peace shirts, stopped 390 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: the pipeline. Big big waste of money here. The jokes 391 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: are appreciated. Things I might I might consider them, I 392 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: probably won't. 393 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 7: You at. 394 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: Savannah. So if somebody who covers protests like this, I 395 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: think you can agree, Like, you know, people have the 396 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: right to speak their mind. It's when it comes to 397 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: you know, violence and damage and destruction and in this case, defamation. 398 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: You know you can't do that. Can you kind of 399 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: like speak to the overall kind of the thought process 400 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: behind modern day protesting because this, this hasn't happened all 401 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: that often where people who are breaking law actually get 402 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: held accountable. 403 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 3: Sure well, I will say that this verdict is great 404 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 3: and it sets an actually great precedent because these protesters 405 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: for the last decade have loved being able to say, oh, 406 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: my first Amendment, my first Amendment. And it's like, yeah, 407 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: but you can't molotov cocktail somebody's business because you feel 408 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 3: like it. You can't go rob a Louis Vauton and 409 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 3: then scream for some rights. You can't go and disrupt 410 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 3: an entire construction site in which they're trying to create 411 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: this pipeline and then cry and screen victim when you 412 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: know that's deemed a criminal act. You can't go and 413 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: do these things. So I'm glad that we're finally differentiating 414 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 3: protest from violent protest from First Amendment rights. I think 415 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: that this is a very strong precedent. And you know, 416 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: we're living through the craziest times right now, Joe Bob 417 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 3: and also the greatest, the Yeah, the craziest and the 418 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: greatest at the same time. Right. So, the DOJ just 419 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 3: today actually charged three Tesla vandals because they have been firebombing, shooting, 420 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 3: like straight up shooting Tesla dealerships. So I mean this 421 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: kind of is reminiscent of like these green peace protests, right, 422 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 3: like these crazy tactics being used under the guise of 423 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 3: the First Amendment. No, I'm glad the differentiation has been made, 424 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 3: and hopefully we see more six hundred million plus dollar 425 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: lawsuits being directed toward these quite frankly domestic terrorists. I'm 426 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: gonna be honest. 427 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 5: Oo go speaking of what happened to the good protesters 428 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 5: that just like we're proud of what they're doing. Now 429 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 5: they get caught in the act like they're not doing 430 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 5: like why are you arresting me? 431 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: They're actually they're just a point being made there. You know, 432 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: used to when you protest right there, there has to 433 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: be some sort of risk. Girls, It doesn't mean anything 434 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: if you're not like facing the risk of like I 435 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know, we're supposed to go to jail. 436 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 5: Like these kids are like crying when they're getting like handcuffed. 437 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 5: I'm like, dude, that's what you're doing. Like this is 438 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 5: the cool guy part, Like don't you want to be 439 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: a cool guy? 440 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 8: Yeah? 441 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 9: It is. 442 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: It is interesting that they and social media, you know, 443 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: kind of speaking of protests, right I I kind of 444 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: have a feeling this weekend is going to be in 445 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: effect a protest of a bunch of conservatives not going 446 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: to see the Snow White movie. Uh it's it's this 447 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: live action movie that uh, well, has garnered some negative 448 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: attention from the regular media because they decided to replace 449 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: all of the little People with CGI. Little people because 450 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, God forbid people who are of shorter stature 451 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: have jobs as dwarfs in Hollywood. They replaced him with CGI. 452 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: But also the snow White cast has been making some 453 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: pretty interesting claims. Glenn, give me a nod, yes or no? 454 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: If we have this clip, I'm not entirely Shirre. Let's 455 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: play this clip from snow White herself talking about what 456 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: the movie is going to look like. 457 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 10: Check it out no longer nineteen thirty seven. 458 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: It is not going to be ived by the Prince. 459 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 10: It's not going to be said by the prince. And 460 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 10: she's not going to be dreaming about true love. She's 461 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 10: dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be, 462 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 10: and the leader that her late father told her that 463 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 10: she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true. 464 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 10: The original cartoon came out in nineteen thirty seven, and 465 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 10: very evidently so there is a big focus on her 466 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 10: love story with the guy who literally stalks her. 467 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 7: Weird. 468 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: Weird. Yeah, we don't need to hear more of that. 469 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: I got about a minute left Savannah. Your thoughts? How 470 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: stoked are you to see this movie after that? 471 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 4: You know what? 472 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 3: Joe Bob I read a comment on one of these 473 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: trailers and it said if this movie was shown to 474 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 3: me on a plane, I would still walk out. And uh, yeah, 475 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: I feel like that's been That's the basic, you know, 476 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: sentiment towards this. Nobody wants to watch this. The girl 477 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: looks like, Lord, Farquad. 478 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: What do we do? 479 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: Arison? I'm very concerned about what you're gonna say here, 480 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: but we'll give you the last fifteen seconds. What do 481 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: you what do you. 482 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: Think about this? Look snow White's gonna suck. Nobody's gonna say. 483 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 5: Disney's been failing for like fifty years at this point, 484 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 5: or at least the last ten years. Uh, with everything 485 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 5: that they've been doing, I think they get the picture. 486 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 5: Though it seems like I don't know why they ended 487 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 5: up still doing this movie. They must have sunk too 488 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 5: much money into it, but it's obviously not Nobody I 489 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: know is ever gonna see this movie. So pretty bad 490 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 5: call by Disney. But you know that's that's that's been 491 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 5: part for the course for a good decade. 492 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 7: Now. 493 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: I think they're I think they're gonna have to make 494 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: about half a billion dollars just to break even, so 495 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: that'll be really interesting to see if they they get 496 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: to that.

We'll be right back after this. 501 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 11: What is your opinion on Trump's diet as a MAHA 502 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 11: supporter and do you trust that he's actually going to 503 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 11: do these things when it comes to fixing our food 504 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 11: and chemicals in the water, in the air, like. 505 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 9: He's saying, there's nothing I hate more than a liar. 506 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 9: And the one thing we know about Trump is that 507 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 9: he's not a liar. 508 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 4: He does exactly what he says. 509 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 9: And when it comes to food, he's not saying, look 510 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 9: I'm out there doing three hundred push ups a day 511 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 9: and eating sea oil free food. He's saying, I love 512 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 9: my diet, Coke, I'm gonna have a milkshake after dinner. 513 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 2: I'm gonna eat my burger. That's me. 514 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 9: But I'm also going to fix the system so that 515 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 9: we can help small and medium sized farmers and good 516 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 9: food producers. And therefore I brought in RFK Junior, and 517 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 9: I'm gonna let him do it. That's honesty, that's transparency. 518 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 519 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 9: So do I hate what he eats? No, because I'm 520 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 9: kind of a libertarian to let people do what they want. 521 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: The key, and I. 522 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 9: Think Trump recognizes this, is that I don't care what 523 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 9: you eat. You eat, you eat, as long as the 524 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 9: information is clear and honest for you to make an 525 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 9: educated decision. So labeling, making sure a vaccine information isn't 526 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 9: bought off and there's not special interest in there. And 527 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 9: then number three, make more products accessible to the consumers 528 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 9: so we're not stuck with like six bags of potato 529 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 9: chips all from the same producer. 530 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 11: Doesn't it fascinate you that President Trump is the age 531 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 11: that he is. 532 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 4: We know he doesn't sleep. 533 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 11: And he eats the way he does, and yet nobody 534 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 11: has more energy than him. He's just out there days 535 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 11: on days and days. I mean those couple days leading 536 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 11: up to the election, he was NonStop, and I was like, 537 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 11: I don't understand. I mean, it goes against everything that 538 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 11: I talk about everything that I talk about on the show, 539 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 11: about how we should eat and live or whatever, you're 540 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 11: going to fall apart, and yet somehow he's still going. 541 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 9: How I think what we saw coming into the election, 542 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 9: like especially towards the end, I mean, I think that 543 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 9: there was there was some faith there, right, Like I 544 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 9: think that was there was a larger, more divine energy 545 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 9: behind him. He even said that when he narrowly got assassinated, 546 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 9: like you know, he really thought that he was saved 547 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 9: by God, like the hand of God came down. I 548 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 9: think there's some faith based motivation there. But I think 549 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 9: just generally. 550 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 4: He's an anomaly. 551 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 2: He is, I mean, there's always I'm just saying. 552 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 4: That it's just interesting doing all this. 553 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 11: Obviously voted for Trump three times, huge conservative, lifelong conservative, 554 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 11: you know. 555 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 2: All of that. 556 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 4: But I do think it's funny. 557 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 11: I'm like, man, everything that I tell everybody, it's like, 558 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 11: then we have this guy who's like our leader, and 559 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 11: he's able. 560 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 4: To kind of get around all of it somehow. I 561 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 4: don't know, it's a mystery. He should be studied, honestly. 562 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 9: But also look at how much he moves, right, he moves, 563 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 9: He's how he probably has twenty thousand steps a day 564 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 9: when you guys move in all the time. 565 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: He golf's like every twenty minutes. Got true. 566 00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 9: Right before I came in here, I saw, oh, he 567 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 9: was golfing again, and then he's going to give like 568 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 9: some keynote speech right to world leaders. 569 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: So the guy's move and he's going. 570 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 11: You posted on X before that California's regulations are killing 571 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 11: small businesses faster. 572 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 4: Than a grease fire. 573 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 11: What is going on in California specifically that's making it 574 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 11: nearly impossible to stay aflow as a restaurant owner. 575 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 9: Well, I talked about the labor piece in the beginning, right, 576 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 9: So obviously all the labor peace, they also have things 577 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 9: like PAGA, which is the Public Attorney's Generals Act, which 578 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 9: is where they gave employees the right to sue and 579 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 9: create a class action lawsuit on behalf of the Labor Commissioner. 580 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 9: So it was basically the government saying, we don't have 581 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 9: enough resources in the Labor Department to go after all 582 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 9: of these businesses, which they're always trying to do because 583 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 9: they hate businesses, they hate entrepreneurs, So we're going to 584 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 9: let employees file lawsuits on behalf of the Labor Commissioner. 585 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 9: It's the only state in the country that has PAGA. 586 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 9: Every other state's constitution or Supreme court has knocked it out. 587 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 9: So PAGA has ripped businesses off left and right. And 588 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 9: then every single day it's something new. I mean I 589 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 9: could sit here for probably an hour and go through regulations, 590 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 9: things like not allowing plastic gift cards. 591 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 4: Oh but I didn't know that was a thing, And 592 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 4: you think like, oh. 593 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: No big deal. 594 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 9: Then just issue to via email anybody over the age 595 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 9: of fifty five wants a plastic gift card. 596 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 4: You're right, You are so right about that. 597 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 2: And that's just one right. 598 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 9: And then the junk fee laws, which are going to 599 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 9: target small businesses because if you now put on like a. 600 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: Fee is a tip of fee? Is this a fee? 601 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 2: Is it not a fee? 602 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 9: Liquor license laws now restaurants who have bars and have 603 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 9: liquor license have to provide roofie kits, right, which, don't 604 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 9: get me wrong, Like that's a big issue. But why 605 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 9: are we putting agency on the government and not the 606 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 9: person to protect themselves? Right, So it's just all of 607 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 9: these little things. They sit there in Sacramento because they 608 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 9: have a super majority and they think about new ways 609 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 9: that they can hurt small businesses so that the government 610 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 9: can take over and be the one in control of everything. 611 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 11: As a conservative and a health conscious chef, should we 612 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 11: ban gas stoves? 613 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 9: Never? I mean gas stoves, first of all, are better 614 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 9: for the environment. The only way in which we actually 615 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 9: cut all of the carbon emissions as required by our 616 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 9: Congress from two thousand to twenty ten was by decreasing 617 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 9: fossil fuels and introducing natural gas, right number one. Number two, 618 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 9: let's just hypothetically play the game and say that we 619 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 9: do band gas stoves. Well, where do you think the 620 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 9: electricity is coming from? Fossil fuels? The line share of 621 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 9: electricity is driven by fossil fuels. So we're going to 622 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 9: get rid of natural gas to now have an inefficient 623 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 9: energy source that still requires fossil will increase fossil fuel production. 624 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, you're right, that doesn't make any sense because that 625 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 11: still puts them in the situation of like, not, well 626 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 11: you have to support this that you also don't support. 627 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 9: All electricity is driven by fossil fuels, but it's one 628 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 9: step away from the source. 629 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 2: Natural gas is direct. 630 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 9: So to get that extra mile or ten miles or 631 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 9: one hundred miles, you have to produce more of it, 632 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 9: so you're actually going to produce more theoretical pollution if 633 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 9: you do that. 634 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 11: How can we realistically decentralize the food system. 635 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 9: First and foremost as you get rid of all the 636 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 9: government contracts, right, So think about it. The USCA lilast 637 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 9: year alone spent eighteen billion dollars on buying food, on 638 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 9: literally buying food. So the USDA is the largest purchaser 639 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 9: of food in the United States. And where do they 640 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 9: buy it? 641 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 7: From? 642 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 9: Three major corporations, and where's that go? Goes to the 643 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 9: National School Launch Program, it goes to food deserts actually, right, 644 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 9: And then the third is it goes international. So when 645 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 9: we provide food to other countries all around the world 646 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 9: through a lot of this USA stuff, we're seeing they're 647 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 9: buying it from farmers or they're buying it from food producers. 648 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 2: And of the. 649 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 9: Twenty billion or whatever, eighteen billion, I would suggest that 650 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 9: maybe nine billion goes to actually buying it and the 651 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 9: other ten billion is for special interest, goes into people's pockets, contracts, 652 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 9: three major producers. We have hundreds of thousands of farmers 653 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 9: in the United States, so completely get the government out 654 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 9: of the food system, deregulate, let small and medium sized 655 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 9: farmers sell their and fishermen sell directly to restaurants to 656 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 9: consumers across state lines, which is Thomas Massey's prime act 657 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 9: all of those regulations, and watch how quickly small and 658 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 9: medium sized farmers flourish in the United States. 659 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 11: Okay, question, because you brought up Massy, so Massey was 660 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 11: my choice for USDA. I was devastated me too. What 661 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 11: is your opinion on Trump's pick with Brooke Rollins. 662 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: For that role. 663 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 9: Trump's a loyalty guy, right, so he's obviously kind of 664 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 9: it's a quid pro quote with him, and I appreciate 665 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 9: that people who have been loyal to him, he's going 666 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 9: to give them a position.

I can operate independently. And that's 734 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 9: something that we saw with Trump too. In his first term, 735 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 9: it was very much about fighting with the media and 736 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 9: trying to course correct the reputation they were, you know, 737 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 9: kind of painting of him.

This 835 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: is only a couple of seconds long, but I think 836 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: it is. It cappilates, encapsulates what's going on with the 837 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: libs right now. But play this, play this Tesla one, 838 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,439 Speaker 1: buy a Tesla. 839 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 2: You're just trying the planet. 840 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to buy a Tesla. 841 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 12: Bye, okay, okay, I bought a Tesla. 842 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 8: You're happy. 843 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 2: Now you need to sell your tesla. 844 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: You literally just told me. I see that type of thing. 845 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: I think actually wins arguments obviously, you know, going to 846 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: schools and making the case cohesive, lead coherently great and 847 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: online memes or comedic sketches like that. Really, really they 848 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: move the deal because it highlights how ridiculous all this 849 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: stuff is. Anyways, that is going to do it for 850 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: us tonight. That's all the time we have here at 851 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: Turning Point. Night. Charlie is going to take us out. 852 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,919 Speaker 1: In the next segment. Stick around and watch his full 853 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: rerun of his show. We'll see you tomorrow, the same time, 854 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: same place. God bless America. 855 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 6: Our founding framers and our founding fathers were classically educated. 856 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 6: They studied the great books. They understood the big ideas 857 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 6: of human nature. They could tell you what was good 858 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 6: or evil, holy or profane, right or wrong, the difference 859 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 6: between a citizen and a surf. Now, when I go 860 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 6: to college campuses, they can't tell me what a woman is. 861 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 6: They can't tell me what a man is we went 862 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 6: from an education system that would explore eternal truth, one 863 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 6: that would challenge children to go after what is beautiful 864 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 6: and what is good, and instead we gravitated away towards 865 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 6: an administrative state model of education. The Germans, which have 866 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 6: a tendency to introduce the worst ideas imaginable, introduced this 867 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 6: idea of historicism coupled with historicism, which is an idea 868 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 6: that history has an endpoint and we must keep on 869 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 6: growing the state to get us closer to that endpoint. 870 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 6: It is Hegelian in nature. Was this idea of the 871 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 6: administrative approach to education. This was largely authored by people 872 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 6: such as John Dewey Woodrow Wilson. They wanted the centralization 873 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 6: of education. That no longer should parents be in charge 874 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 6: of education, no longer should churches or synagogues or communities, 875 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 6: But we need to prepare students to become good worker bees. Now, 876 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 6: every time I hear a Republican politician say, well, we 877 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 6: want our education system to create the best workers of 878 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 6: the future, I cringe. That is not what education is about. 879 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 6: Education is about creating good citizens. Education is about creating 880 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 6: people that are capable of answering life's deeper questions. You see, 881 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 6: if you create good citizens, they can do any job 882 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 6: that you throw in front of them. Instead, we entered 883 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 6: into the hyper specialization of American education. You're gonna sit 884 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 6: in single file lines. No longer would we have dialogue 885 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 6: or discussion. In the classical form of education. You will 886 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 6: be taught science, technology, engineering, in math. You'll keep your 887 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 6: mouth shut. You will do what you are told. Is 888 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 6: hyper authoritarian. And over the last hundred years we have 889 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 6: seen the downfall of American education, and Jimmy Carter accelerated 890 00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 6: that trend away from the proven model that led us 891 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 6: to a superpower and closer towards a Marxist version of 892 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 6: how to educate our kids. Since the creation of the 893 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 6: Department Education, spending on education has gone way up, while 894 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 6: American education performance has actually gone down, often dramatically. For decades, 895 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 6: Republicans have promised rhetorically to get rid of the Department 896 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 6: of Education. Reagan said he would in fact, that'd be 897 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 6: fun to get a clip of that. Congressmen have talked 898 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 6: about doing it, but nothing has happened. People assumed that 899 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,839 Speaker 6: Trump would be the same way that he would talk 900 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 6: about abolishing it, but it wouldn't happen. Oh, it's just 901 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 6: a bunch of rhetoric. It's just a bunch of talk. 902 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 6: It's just a bunch of jibber jabber. But President Trump 903 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 6: is the promise keeper president. He is the promise keeper president. 904 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 6: So today he is signing the executive Order ordering Education 905 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 6: Secretary Linda McMahon to do everything possible to make herself 906 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 6: the last Education Secretary. Now, of course, there are some 907 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 6: obvious caveats. The department was created by Congress, so it 908 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 6: probably can't be completely abolished without Congress. But we can 909 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 6: do as much as possible to make the department's demise 910 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 6: a mere matter of paperwork. Trump has already laid off 911 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 6: or furloughed thousands of the department staff. He can relocate 912 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 6: the programs we can't get rid of. There's no reason 913 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 6: we need a special cabinet department to run pell grants. 914 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 6: We had them before we had an Education department. We 915 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,840 Speaker 6: can apply the same principle to federal student loans and 916 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 6: have the Treasury Department run them. Scott Bessett would do 917 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 6: a much better job running anything to do with financial 918 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 6: transactions than the Department Education. 919 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: Does. 920 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 6: The Department Education need its own civil rights office. Why 921 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,359 Speaker 6: not just have it at the Department of Justice. And 922 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 6: while we're at it, let's have a go so after 923 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 6: real discrimination that occurs in our schools against white, Asian 924 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 6: and Jewish students, not just going after fake hate crimes 925 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 6: that happen on college campuses. Speaking of which, you guys 926 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 6: should get that clip, which was quite an interesting encounter 927 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 6: I had at the University of Tennessee. Now, getting rid 928 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 6: of the Department Education also won't cut the budget quite 929 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 6: as much as it might seem. The department has a massive, 930 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 6: colossal budget of two hundred fift billion dollars, but most 931 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 6: of that is stuff that we can't get rid of 932 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 6: for now. Pell grant student loans and important stuff like 933 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,919 Speaker 6: special education funding that we should of course keep. It's 934 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 6: Title I funding for schools. But the principle here is 935 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 6: incredibly important. We are getting rid of a department that 936 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 6: never should have existed in the first place. Getting rid 937 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 6: of this department would be a major step forward towards 938 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 6: the local as a and the restoration of the Parents' 939 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,319 Speaker 6: Party movement. This was a pledge that President Trump made 940 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 6: to the Parents' Party that no longer are bureaucrats going 941 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 6: to say that they are in charge of our kids. 942 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 6: What President Trump is saying declaratively today is that it 943 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 6: is your kids, not the state's kids. It is not 944 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 6: some government bureaucrat. Here is Ronald Reagan making a promise. 945 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 6: I'm going to get rid of the Department Education, Ronald 946 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 6: Reagan said, play cut two forty three. 947 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 8: The budget plan I submit to you on February eighth 948 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 8: will realize major savings by dismantling the Departments of Energy 949 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 8: and Education and by eliminating ineffective subsidies for business. 950 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, none of that happened. In fact, the Department Education 951 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 6: grew and added more headcount, It strengthened, it deepened, and 952 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 6: it did more damage. And Ronald Reagan failed in that regard. 953 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 6: And that was when it was early, That was before 954 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 6: it was this beast that it is today. I had 955 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,240 Speaker 6: the opportunity to walk the halls of the Department Education, 956 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 6: and Lynn McMahon is doing a phenomenal job. A couple 957 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 6: weeks ago. That is a sad, depressing, stalinistic Soviet building. 958 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 6: You walk and it is a massive building, massive and 959 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 6: you got to wonder, what are these people doing all 960 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 6: day long? And I thought to myself as I walked 961 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 6: the halls of the Department Education, and I stared at 962 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 6: five or six bureaucratic worker bees that wouldn't even look 963 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 6: up from their work to look at. 964 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 2: Who was coming by, just kind of just monotonoly. 965 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,359 Speaker 6: I said, what does that person right there at that 966 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 6: computer screen, What business does that human being have over 967 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 6: my daughter in Arizona. The answer is none.
