In this episode of You're a Stranger in Hope, the boys discuss why we need the Department of Education to be defunded and why we don't need it. They also discuss why the teachers unions suck and why Donald Trump should be the one to fix them.
00:01:51.000By the way, you guys can, you know, let's hit this right now.
00:01:52.000Comment below if you want us to do more of these cold opens.
00:01:54.000Because we do a lot of these intros and sometimes we have people saying, I don't like the intros, and then we have people saying, I want more intros.
00:03:58.000It's funny because there's a project we have a new giant projector out there as we've done these sort of developments and I was watching on it feels like it's 50 feet it's giant and I swear to you I saw his mustache we were watching a clip and then I had a nightmare of it chasing me my mustache On a big jumbotron?
00:04:16.000It's funny, I woke up, it's just not there, chasing you.
00:05:04.000Oh boy, the FBI is scanning fingerprints on every classified document that they recovered from Donald Trump's safe in Mar-a-Lago.
00:05:14.000This means they're going to find out who touched each document so that they can prosecute them all.
00:05:21.000This also means that the documents were so highly classified that they are worried that who got a hold of them could pose as a national security threat.
00:05:32.000I'm wondering where his question mark suit is.
00:05:34.000Wow get ready cuz justice is coming. I'm as ugly as a bat.
00:05:51.000You call 1-800, it just goes to his residential line.
00:05:52.000Remember that peanut butter commercial where the guy- or the milk commercial where the guy's got peanut butter in his mouth, the radio show calls in, it's the ugliest guy?
00:07:27.000The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all.
00:07:39.000Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.
00:07:47.000Speaking at Gettysburg, of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said, She does have her dad's good looks.
00:07:57.000that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new
00:08:02.000birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people
00:10:20.000No, I mean, everybody hated this person because she joined a sham committee for January 6th and made it seem like you had to go after Donald Trump for trying to overthrow the government when he didn't do that.
00:10:29.000We've called out Trump when he was wrong.
00:10:31.000Of course, we've criticized Trump plenty of times.
00:10:34.000And by the way, people act as though you have to be a complete lackey for Donald Trump, otherwise you're removed.
00:10:41.000I want to bet that most of you Probably have some issues with Donald Trump, think that he has some shortcomings, and then also appreciate him for what he is.
00:10:48.000The problem is that she sided with the enemy, always, and like you said, has taken part being complicit in a sham trial claiming it was the most violent day in our history.
00:12:10.000So, uh, look, we also have the over-under.
00:12:13.000You can comment on how soon she'll be working for The View as their newest Republican panelist.
00:12:20.000But right now, of course, look, worthy political adversary, we'd like to offer a proper send-off to Liz Cheney, which brings us to Liz Cheney's time to close.
00:12:29.000Today we face a threat America has never seen before.
00:13:42.000I just think she recorded the video many times.
00:13:46.000This is the problem, it's the problem is when you're obsessed.
00:13:48.000This is the problem is these people they say, I'm willing to stand up against, but then
00:13:52.000that's their only their raison d'être.
00:13:54.000Donald Trump, Donald Trump, she was obsessed and that didn't work.
00:13:56.000If she would have said, you know what, I think Donald Trump was wrong about this, this is where I agree with him on foreign policy, it's a good thing we didn't start any new wars, this is where I disagree, then let the cards fall where they may.
00:14:05.000Not every single Trump-backed candidate has won, just to be clear, and not every single person who's been critical of Donald Trump has lost.
00:14:11.000But when you toss your lot in with January 6th and you are the ambassador, the representative, with this sham trial on television.
00:14:19.000You shouldn't be mad when Republicans don't elect you.
00:15:11.000Not saying, it's just, you know, we're going with the theme because defund the FBI, defund the DOJ, I think you could defund most branches of the government.
00:15:17.000But most of you, and I know I can hear especially a lot of mothers, like, ah, what am I gonna do?
00:15:22.000I don't know, you see what homeschool people, God, you might have to be a parent.
00:15:27.000We all think we need it, but let me be clear, if you do away with the Federal Department of Education, it would affect public schools in your state likely zero.
00:16:58.000And the states just get to keep that money instead of sending it to the federal government to fund the Department of Education, who then turns around and doles it out to whoever they want.
00:17:07.000So let's start, we're going to go through something that happened in Minneapolis, then we're going to go through the National Teachers Union, what's happened in Florida, and then close with some information sort of on a national level regarding public schools.
00:17:18.000So this is a theme today because I know that there are a lot of parents out there concerned, especially in the post-COVID world.
00:17:41.000Now, March 25th, this is the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the Minneapolis public school system.
00:17:57.000If accessing a teacher who is a member of, let me just tell you before I explain it, read the technical jargon, they're gonna fire white teachers first.
00:18:37.000If accessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the district shall access, meaning get rid of, fire!
00:18:46.000The next least senior teacher who is not a member of an underrepresented population.
00:18:58.000And if they're going to be rehired, it is also going to go to a population that's underrepresented, according to them, which is black people primarily, but it also, if you went to a historically black college, a tribal or historically Hispanic college as well.
00:19:34.000I've talked about this, I had to go to French school because I was in Quebec and my mom is French-Canadian, and so I had to go to French school where at least half of my day was in French, all the way through the fourth grade.
00:19:43.000And I started falling behind, where they thought, maybe this kid's retarded.
00:20:24.000Every student gets... The more of your students who get A's, If they start at 70%, they start with a C, they end with an A or 100%, congratulations, you're a good teacher.
00:20:34.000So, she was a minority, she was the best teacher!
00:20:37.000Never even crossed my mind at that point, but that's when we grew up in a post-racial America in Canada, you know, where Fresh Prince and Family Matters were the top shows before we segregated everything with BET and fragmented all of culture and media and demanded segregated school spaces.
00:20:50.000This is when we didn't really think about it.
00:20:52.000We kind of grew up in a wonderful golden era where, of course, you had individual races, but it was largely a thing of the past systemically.
00:21:04.000Minneapolis public schools have defended this agreement publicly, saying that it will, quote, remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination.
00:21:32.000On the same week that, you know, Muhammad Ali died and he was on the cover of everything and Gordie Howe, far more accomplished in his sport.
00:21:51.000Yeah, well I remember seeing the magazines, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali.
00:21:54.000They won't tell you that he endorsed Ronald Reagan, campaigned for Orrin Hatch, and rejected All of his segregationist views later in life.
00:22:01.000Once he died, they wanted to venerate him as the guy who dodged the draft.
00:22:04.000There was a lot more to Muhammad Ali than that.
00:26:19.000Some of these, by the way, at some of the live shows, sometimes you cannot carry firearms to the live shows because it's either venue policy or someone threatened to kill me.
00:27:45.000In addition to recruiting retired military veterans, we also want to include first responders,
00:27:52.000law enforcement, EMTs, paramedics, firefighters who have their bachelor's degree to become
00:27:58.000teachers and bring their leadership and wisdom into the classroom.
00:28:01.000And what we will do, just like we do for veterans, we will do for the other first responders.
00:28:06.000We will waive the exam fees for the state teacher certification exam.
00:28:13.000And if you do sign up under this program, those teachers will be eligible for a $4,000 bonus to be able to serve and If they teach courses that have really acute shortages in those subject matters, they'll get another $1,000.
00:28:29.000And so that'll be a $5,000 bonus for first responders who go in to those.
00:28:36.000So replace the real heroes, public teachers, with non-heroes, veterans, and first responders?
00:28:41.000You mean people that run towards danger?
00:28:45.000And you can comment below, I'll get into the details of this, what you think about that.
00:28:48.000Because the left is saying, you can't just do this to spring in veterans!
00:28:56.000Okay, so let me read you some details from the program.
00:28:59.000Military veterans who pass this teaching exam eligible for a temporary certificate as long as they have, they meet these qualifications, four years or more of active duty, honorable service, 60 college credit hours.
00:29:09.000Yeah, that's an associate's degree, by the way.
00:29:38.000So he said in a subject matter test to be able to teach a subject you have to have your associate's degree but you also have to serve as an apprentice with another teacher who has been there I think it was at least seven years and highly rated teacher.
00:29:50.000They give that person a mentor bonus so it's not like they're just turning them loose on a class.
00:29:54.000They're giving you on-the-job training for I believe it's two years before you're let go on, go do your thing now as a teacher, but you also still have to finish your bachelor's degree.
00:30:08.000I was gonna say, one thing that he does better than most Well, I think the only people who might oppose it are maybe some sort of new conservatives or libertarians who don't understand federalism and say, I oppose increased spending.
00:30:18.000so that if they go against it, it is just completely obvious.
00:30:21.000Well, I think the only people who might oppose it are maybe some sort of new
00:30:25.000conservatives or libertarians who don't understand federalism and say,
00:30:28.000I oppose increased spending. Well, this is the thing.
00:30:31.000States should be able to increase spending on education if they want to, but I understand we now have
00:30:35.000the problem of if Ron DeSantis is increasing spending on education, which he is to a very
00:30:40.000large degree, combined with the bloated federal budget, it's a problem.
00:30:44.000That's why we need to eliminate the Federal Department of Education.
00:30:46.000I don't have a problem with states allocating funds.
00:31:48.000We have a teacher shortage crisis because DeSantis has turned classrooms into battlegrounds to fight his culture wars and divide our states.
00:32:02.000DeSantis increased teacher pay funding, in March, by the way, $250 million.
00:32:08.000All references today, and I think this will be very useful for you going forward, or if you want to refute it, $250 million, right, in March.
00:32:16.000All references are available at lotteriescrowder.com.
00:32:18.000The pay for teachers in Florida increased from $40,000 to $47,000.
00:32:21.000That makes Florida, that's the starting pay, to be clear.
00:32:24.000Making Florida the ninth highest in the nation.
00:33:37.000I'm not a fan of teaching them that everybody's a purple penguin and you can't say any of the other things that I can't say on YouTube right now so I don't get in trouble.
00:33:47.000But you can't throw PTSD at these people, that's completely bull.
00:33:50.000Especially when you're teaching a generation of people, they claim they have PTSD because somebody misgendered an owl.
00:34:00.000And by the way, here's something else too.
00:34:02.000I'm sorry, we're going to go a little bit because I want to get to why we don't need the Federal Department of Education, specifically the Teachers Union, but that's a good point.
00:34:15.000There are plenty of people with PTSD who are entirely functioning individuals, and by the way, they shouldn't forfeit their right to a firearm.
00:34:22.000There are plenty of people in this country who maybe have depression or bipolar disorder, and it should not disqualify them from their fundamental human rights.
00:34:29.000The left will say, we need better mental health care in this country.
00:34:32.000By the way, veterans, this could be a problem with them teaching kids.
00:34:34.000By the way, oh, you took some Zoloft at one point?
00:34:37.000Well, why do you think that men don't want to get help?
00:34:37.000You shouldn't be able to own a firearm.
00:35:10.000Well, here's the two birds with one stone thing, too.
00:35:12.000Vets, former police officers, firefighters, arm them.
00:35:16.000Get them in schools so that they can protect kids if they want to and undergo special training to make sure that they're ready to answer the call.
00:35:57.000But there are a lot of people who think that teaching is an easy path.
00:36:00.000I think it's an easy path because they can go and make good money where they're comfortable, at some point get tenure maybe, at some point they end up with all of these benefits, they get put in a rubber room if they're completely incompetent as opposed to being fired.
00:36:11.000There are a lot of people who don't seek to become incredibly wealthy, but they want to make significantly more than the national average, even if they're not very qualified.
00:36:19.000They say, okay, what job doesn't require intense qualifications or performance reviews?
00:37:15.000You have fewer people going into the profession.
00:37:18.000You have a hot labor market where teachers can get 20% more for the skills and knowledge they have teaching in non-teaching jobs.
00:37:28.000You have all of the pandemic stress and strain, particularly that kids are coming in with greater needs because of two years of disruption.
00:37:39.000And, you know, not only have the conditions not really changed, but, you know, school districts and the federal government and others just, you know, pretend as if there was no pandemic.
00:37:50.000And then you have all of the politics, the culture wars, the shaming and blaming, the banning of books, the censoring of curriculum.
00:38:00.000So, you know, teachers are, you know, they wonder, and I'll give you an example.
00:38:05.000So many teachers said to me, if a kid asked them a question after the Buffalo mass shooting, if they were in Florida or Texas, they didn't know whether they could answer the question that the shooter was a white supremacist.
00:38:24.000They act as though they're the only ones.
00:38:27.000They go, you know, no, we haven't, you know, the pandemic, which of course hasn't... You think you're the only ones who lived through that?
00:38:47.000Comment below right now if you're- I want to hear from teachers below, public school teachers, private school teachers, and those who work in the private sector.
00:38:55.000And does anyone actually buy this for a second, that this administration was- who didn't really acknowledge the pandemic?
00:39:04.000By the way, when you claim that kids are coming back and they've had two years of disruption, who was protesting to make sure that they stayed home during this time?
00:39:12.000The white supremacists who, by the way, don't want her teaching that the Buffalo shooter was white.
00:39:17.000Hey, didn't something happen in Milwaukee?
00:39:19.000Can we teach the race of those people?
00:39:51.000Well, I just think the two-year break was great for mental health and teaching our young to socialize.
00:39:57.000Yeah, I think you're absolutely right because, look, we can't expect the true heroes to go back after two years when there's a slight cough remaining.
00:40:03.000Hey, I'm wondering, I'm not going to quote it, but what was the death rate from zero to 19 from COVID to date?
00:40:08.000I don't even want to say it, because YouTube could label it misinformation.
00:40:11.000And by the way, of course, YouTube doesn't work in cahoots with the federal government in any capacity, who, by the way, do not have an undue beholdence, if that's a word, I know it's not, to teachers unions.
00:40:23.000So let's go through the claims that are made.
00:40:24.000Just in that video, it's a wave of just, I'm just awash with bullshit.
00:40:32.000Okay, and we'll play some other clips so you see it echoed.
00:40:35.000This is what's being taught everywhere, and these people get all of your money, your taxpayer dollars, regardless of whether you agree with them or not.
00:40:46.000One of the claims that teachers are not allowed, they're not free right now, to teach these controversial issues, meaning their bias, in the classroom.
00:41:13.000And on the other side, we're being required to teach things that are factually inaccurate by omission.
00:41:21.000So they're looking for us to avoid teaching things like the fact that the United States or the state of New Hampshire has had Systemic racism in its laws, in its culture, things that were enforced both legally and socially, and they have banned our ability to speak to those things with our students.
00:41:44.000And the penalty for that is losing our teaching license.
00:41:47.000Ah, okay, yes, because many people are losing their teaching licenses for being too liberal.
00:42:03.000Republican governors and conservatives across this country have, there's been backlash, and they've enacted laws precisely because teachers across the country have been pushing divisive, factually incorrect, far-left curriculum like critical race theory.
00:44:51.000So, and by the way, let's not forget the attempts to sexualize young children, which I'm sure you're well aware of, but you know, hey, look.
00:45:11.000It's a magic school bus, just me and you.
00:45:14.000I knew I should have stayed home today!
00:45:18.000Look it, I'm making myself disappear in you.
00:45:23.000There's a disproportionate number of teachers, for as much as people go after the Catholic Church, and by the way, they should go after the clergy when these gross abuses happen, and they're covered up.
00:45:30.000Happens far more often in public schools, sexual abuse of children.
00:45:58.000The states struggling to find teachers the most are mainly near the West Coast with the top five being California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, and Hawaii.
00:46:21.000But the vast majority of public school teachers Or liberal white bitches, okay.
00:46:26.000Now, where would a liberal white woman, which is the typical or liberal white man or liberal black woman, a public school teacher, where do you think they would be more happy in general?
00:46:39.000In a school district in, let's say, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bakersfield, take your pick?
00:46:45.000Or ultra-right Christian rural Oklahoma?
00:46:48.000Yet, Yet, yet, these teachers are leaving in higher numbers from liberal states, where the kinds of laws that they're complaining about are not being enacted at all.
00:46:57.000As a matter of fact, their curriculum is being encouraged to be more progressive.
00:47:36.000But because the left wasn't happy having ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and all of FM radio, they saw someone like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Fox News, they saw it as a threat.
00:47:44.000Oh my god, you can't do that because you're kicking our asses!
00:47:47.000So we need to enact a law where you have to provide exactly equal time on the news.
00:47:53.000If you provide a conservative point of view, you have to provide a liberal point of view.
00:47:57.000Now, of course, what was wrong with this is they thought that people like Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Brian Williams were my god journalists, so they wouldn't have to balance themselves out.
00:48:04.000But someone like Rush Limbaugh will then have to provide just as much time with a liberal point of view, even though he's basically a radio op-edsman.
00:48:14.000It was absurd, of course, as it relates to broadcasting.
00:48:18.000The federal government should have no say in what you broadcast, okay?
00:48:21.000That should be left up to the individual broadcasting companies.
00:48:23.000However, as it relates to teaching here, If you're complaining that you cannot teach children that the Buffalo Shooter was a white supremacist, how about we have some kind of a fairness doctrine in schools?
00:48:35.000You also have to teach that the evil white Western European nations ended slavery and created the electricity and modern educational system that you enjoy.
00:49:27.000So here's another claim that they make, and this is, again, why we need to defund the Federal Department of Education.
00:49:35.000And this is going to be rough, so I warn you guys, just don't let your rage get the better of you.
00:49:40.000The teachers, and you heard it before, and I'll play another clip so you know it's not just one lone shitwolf, teachers felt unsafe because of COVID.
00:49:50.000After 16 years, Tracy Riggs is saying goodbye to the classroom.
00:49:54.000This letter is what she turned in after school and a decision she said she had to make.
00:50:00.000No circumstance should it be okay that our kids are getting sick.
00:50:05.000In no circumstance should this be okay.
00:51:00.000The problem was, one of the students, I believe, I can't remember if it was a student or a teacher, one of the students tested and then came into school before realizing that the test was positive.
00:51:10.000Which means that this is such a deadly pandemic for children, the kid didn't even know he had it!
00:51:15.000And you're huddling under the bed, like it's where the wild things are.
00:51:19.000For Chri- It's not my responsibility to make sure that you're not afraid.
00:51:29.000Objectively, public school teachers, you all know this, I don't even feel like I need to provide a reference, had far more absurd precautions, time, coddling away from school, Zoom calls, and they didn't want to come back because they could do their job without pants, which they often do in classrooms anyway, so long as there are no cameras running.
00:51:48.000But you're working in a school being immunocompromised.
00:51:51.000It doesn't take COVID-19 for you to have a problem.
00:51:53.000Yeah, it's like working in the preemie ward and you find babies gross.
00:51:56.000Yeah, it's like, ah, I need to probably remove myself from the situation.
00:51:59.000But by the way, unless we jumped into the DeLorean and went to the future, that video was actually shot last September.
00:52:05.000If I remember correctly, we had a vaccine and several booster shots available by that time that she could have taken and availed herself of if she wanted to keep said teaching job.
00:52:14.000Yeah, you can four-boost yourself into testing positive like Jill Biden.
00:52:17.000Or what she could do, this is the best thing, you can come into the real world where we didn't get the opportunity to close down because of COVID because by God we can't take two years off and stay in business like public schools and still be under threat of getting COVID, being immunocompromised.
00:53:00.000Not in the way you expect it, right, but still, that is at least a first world privilege.
00:53:07.000Well, it's white female privilege for sure.
00:53:09.000I shouldn't have to go to work scared.
00:53:12.000Oh, oh, oh, sorry, yeah, unlike the non-hero, you're a real hero, you don't want to go to work scared, unlike the non-heroes who are, you know, in trenches.
00:54:38.000Fire teachers who won't fall in line with reasonable precautions, similar to what every other industry has had to take.
00:54:46.000Why do we allow this bubble to exist of public school teachers?
00:54:51.000Where there's a different standard that applies to them and we act as though they're the real heroes and, oh my gosh, I can't believe, we can't expect them to work, you know, two months out of the summer or Christmas.
00:55:01.000Oh my gosh, we can't expect them to take work home.
00:55:04.000Everybody else does all of those things!
00:55:08.000It's like, guys, are you making less than the national average?
00:56:32.000It's a phenomenon researchers call the teacher pay gap.
00:56:35.000And it's grown from about 3% in the mid-90s to a record high of almost 19% in 2017.
00:56:42.000What we saw was a lot of teachers being laid off during the recession across the country.
00:56:48.000And in many places, those funds have never been reinstituted or upped.
00:56:52.000So when you have tight labor markets like we do now, and you start to see wages grow in the broad private sector, we'll see teacher pay getting worse.
00:57:03.000Well thanks for the expert advice, Skinny Drew Carey.
00:57:06.000I love how they say, their fears are grounded in reality.
00:57:09.000Like you know someone had a talk with them beforehand.
00:57:13.000Someone's like, come on now, this isn't reality.
00:59:27.000Well, today you'd take iPads, so it'd be a nice little side hustle.
00:59:30.000You can comment if you, like, do you actually believe this?
00:59:32.000Have you actually believed that teachers are not being paid?
00:59:35.000So if you prorate their salary, take it from 180 days a year and just have them working the average amount of days, 240, which by the way seems low to me, where we work here in this show, in this business, it would be $94,000 a year.
00:59:51.000If you were to prorate it, if they were to work all year and be paid for the months that they don't work, $94,000 a year.
00:59:57.000And by the way, in Texas, and I think in Dallas, but certainly in Texas, there have been billboards popping up all over the place showing teacher salaries up to $102,000 per year.
01:00:12.000If you were in a career path where you were making the average salary of most Americans at $58,000 per year, do you think that $102,000 might cause you to reconsider it just because of money?
01:00:22.000Because that's an issue that we run into with people going into teaching.
01:00:35.000I mean, it's a very stable job, and like they were doing in Florida, a lot of states have programs where you can get your master's degree and have it fully paid for by the schools.
01:00:47.000And by the way, in that Texas thing, 102 was the top, 60 was the bottom.
01:00:50.00060,000 was the entry point in that article that they were talking about, which is above what the median wage is in the United States, or the average.
01:01:13.000No, it's not so spending on education in the last decade Well decades, but certainly the last decade Let's use the last two decades as an example because you can go back forever and just see I mean, that's all of government, right?
01:01:24.000They don't really slash anything once it's in it's in you're golden your aces and then it only increases so the spending with education is increased dramatically Wow Where's the money going, Miss Union President, who you know has teacher fat?
01:01:37.000You know what I mean, when they go on the chalkboard and it's this thing?
01:01:43.000She's writing the equation on the wall and it's gone by the time she puts the chalk down.
01:01:47.000So since 2000, the Department of Education, their spending has increased by, by, take a guess, take a guess, take a guess, pause this right now if you're watching.
01:02:37.000Now, it's not all going to the teachers.
01:02:39.000Because it often goes to the union, just like the UAE, when you look at why you spend so much for an American car that is often a pile of crap, while you're paying for three workers, three retirees, for every worker who's not actively working because of the union benefits.
01:02:51.000Go ahead, you were about to say something there, Gerald?
01:02:55.000No, no, I was looking at the money and I was just floored by how much money we're spending on it because we've thrown trillions of dollars over the last decades.
01:03:01.000I've heard numbers that are pretty high, I don't know exactly how many trillions of dollars, and the line that went up just a minute ago on how much we're spending, Yeah, the test score line does the exact opposite.
01:03:12.000So we're spending more money and getting less for our money.
01:03:14.000When you give people a bunch of money with no performance incentives or no metrics they have to meet to keep their job, because that would be cruel to the true heroes, they tend to do a shitty job.
01:03:28.000I will give no credence to the argument that teachers are the real heroes and they're underpaid.
01:03:32.000Now, if you're a good teacher and there are some fantastic teachers, I think you deserve to be paid much more.
01:03:46.000How about we have just performance-based systems across the board where you can truly make tons of money because you're that good at teaching.
01:04:12.000Let's get to another one, because this is a very common one that you hear, and I believed for a long time, until I did some slight reading.
01:04:20.000The claim that they make is that smaller class sizes are needed, needed, because it impacts, that's one of the most important metrics as it relates to student performance.
01:04:31.000Now, I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, But what this really means is take the class, divide it by two, more money please, more money please, here's their claim.
01:05:28.000That's just negative attention all around.
01:05:30.000And they're like, I have these many students.
01:05:32.000Yeah, but you were scared because a student had a positive COVID test, so... I mean, but is that the reason that you're doing a poor job teaching?
01:05:41.000Good, that's the important... Now we're asking the right question, because here's the truth.
01:05:45.000And John Stossel actually did a segment on this a while back.
01:07:01.000Instead of teaching black kids that all white people are racist and today they have to deal with white supremacy, how about you go send them to learn under some white nuns for a bit and they'll learn that you're full of crap.
01:07:24.000Well, I don't think there's anything crazy about a statistic what they're going for.
01:07:28.000If you teach any kid individually, which is why people have tutors and after class they pay for, there's no surprise there because you're finding what that kid learns.
01:07:36.000I mean, you and I have talked about this.
01:07:38.000I didn't learn in the same way that other kids did.
01:07:54.000And once they find that thing in you that makes you want to do something and they they figure that out and some teachers are able to do that with an entire class, which is incredible.
01:08:11.000You learned, and this is the big problem that nobody wants to talk about, you learned as a boy learns.
01:08:17.000And we just saw it with how many people did we just see saying, my classroom is too big, I shouldn't be expected to go to school and be scared.
01:08:26.000The public education system, I didn't go through public education, I did, but that's not why I lisped.
01:08:34.000The public educational system is largely designed by women and certainly today there's undue influence from women and they try to teach everyone to learn in the way that little girls learn.
01:08:45.000Study after study after study shows that little boys don't learn sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher.
01:08:51.000It's why, look, this is one thing that people used to say when you were kids, that girls are smarter.
01:09:06.000Because now they have an individual tutor, they can study at their own pace, they can learn in the appropriate way that they learn.
01:09:13.000Public education is designed for young girls, and even then it's not very good.
01:09:18.000Particularly if you look at private schools, you look at even options like Montessori schools, Christian schools, this is where since they are not beholden to a social engineering curriculum, they can actually spend time with students, regardless of class size, and develop more effective ways of teaching students.
01:13:31.000The impact here, with 92% of our classrooms filled with teachers, is that in our most underserved communities, where we have our neediest children, is where we may not have a certified licensed educator.
01:13:46.000As I continue to say, we need to address this crisis of inequities and inequalities And in Vegas that just means everything that's off the strip.
01:13:56.000Ron DeSantis came up with a solution, what's yours?
01:13:59.000I hear you bitching, what's the solution?
01:14:01.000came up with a solution. What's yours. What's the solution.
01:14:04.000Teachers selling their prep adding an extra workload. So it's just really forcing us to find ways to provide a support
01:15:56.000rhetoric, I think is the conversation we need to have about this profession.
01:16:01.000When we really look at the working conditions, we are addressing some things that have a great relationship and partnership with our teachers union.
01:18:24.000Also, I was once at the Orleans, and this is true, me and my friend Derek, and a guy was eating a chili dog and it fell off onto the slot machine and he kept going like this and then still eating it.
01:18:56.000Yeah, let's, before we leave, get the Clark County or get the Nevada average pay.
01:19:00.000Or we can do it behind the paywall if we need to.
01:19:01.000I would like for people to see this live right now, because as much as I know that can seem boring, look, we just went through this.
01:19:06.000We spent an hour going through this piece by piece, point by point, and then CNN Does a five, whatever, ten minute segment.
01:19:13.000There's no one there, there's no one sitting there who's going to say, hold on a second, teacher pay has gone up.
01:19:17.000There's no one who's going to say, well, hold on a second, it's not really class size, because let's be honest, a lot of these private schools and Catholic schools, for example, there have been studies that show the class size is not the primary driver.
01:19:25.000No one's going to sit there and say, well, hold on a second, you said that businesses shut down, but you didn't.
01:21:02.000That's in the possible range, but I just saw that Jesus Yara guy that we just saw, he just Um, he just made some changes that changed it from $45,000 to $50,000.
01:21:31.000Then you have to pass a subject-specific exam.
01:21:35.000That's all we're talking about, and you get $50,000 a year to do that.
01:21:39.000It's the self-important bull— Look, does anyone here believe that the most qualified people to teach are people who studied teaching in college?
01:21:48.000Is that what you actually believe, or do you know people?
01:21:51.000Have you known people throughout your lives who are good teachers?
01:21:54.000I had a tutor— I never cracked open a math book my senior year.
01:21:57.000It was a senior year exam in Quebec, around Montreal, where we grew up, the South Shore School Board.
