In this episode, the boys discuss a variety of topics, including: - Dr. Oz vs. Dr. Fetterman - Public Schools vs. Homeschooling - No good deed goes unpunished - Taylor Swift vs. The LGBTQIAIA community - Joe Pesci vs. Kanye West - And much more!
00:01:54.000My son, I was holding him up like this, and the drool, it was like it happened in slow motion, went down and in my mouth like the embalming fluid and dragged me to hell.
00:02:44.000So look, before I get to it, we're going to talk about Fetterman versus Dr. Oz, and now, of course, everyone's talking about ableism.
00:02:50.000That's the only reason you might not like, you know, a guy who looks like American History X, warmed over, who can't pronounce his own name.
00:07:50.000That's more... I make sure to try and encourage them because I know how hard it is.
00:07:54.000On the flip side also, if I see a really fit person jogging, you ever do this where you're driving and someone's jogging and they look around and they don't think anyone sees them and they quit and they start walking?
00:08:31.000And by the way, the reason that I want to see people, when I see them in the gym, when I see them bettering themselves, is because I don't want people to... No, no, no.
00:09:28.000Well, I was confused about the stomach, and then the edit, like it's Fat that found out that there was no place to go south, and so they just started going out.
00:09:35.000Well, you think the fat just gives up.
00:09:36.000They're like, I don't care how many vertical stripes you wear, this is happening.
00:09:41.000I got a belly and I just want to know where to get those pants.
00:11:06.000So you've got Dr. Oz, and I get it, you have to vote of the lesser of two evils at this point, I don't know how this guy, well I do know how and unfortunately I'm sad about it, but, not sad about it, I don't have a dog in this fight, I don't like him.
00:11:53.000That was his plan B. So, Fetterman was, as you would expect, and people have talked about this, his stroke, we'll get into that more, um, a complete, and, I mean, he was worse than that, he was worse than that porridge stomach lady.
00:13:06.000We have to fight about inflation here right now.
00:13:08.000That's what we need to fight about inflation, you know, right now, because it's a tax on working families.
00:13:14.000No, we all have to make sure that everyone that works is able to that's that's the most American bargain that if you work full-time you should be able to live in dignity as well true and I believe they haven't have any businesses being being we can't have businesses being subsidized by not paying individuals that just simply can't have a to pay their own way.
00:15:01.000It should never have happened if you were going to be in that kind of shape to perform.
00:15:04.000Because like you said, maybe his brain is working fine, but if I was a voter right now who was potentially going to vote for him, maybe an independent, I would say, write out your answers for me.
00:15:13.000Live, show your work, and let me see that the brain is actually still functioning and it's just a speech processing issue.
00:16:09.000All the news that's fit to print here at Quinnipiac.
00:16:12.000Alright, so here's how one Pennsylvania voter put it themselves.
00:16:19.000So I was definitely, I'm an independent by the way, I was definitely leaning towards Fetterman and I think I have totally changed to the Oz side.
00:17:52.000Would you like to revise his testimony?
00:17:54.000I don't think it's ableist if you're worried about, you know, the neurology of a...
00:18:00.000Yes, because being able to communicate your point is necessary in the Senate.
00:18:05.000When you're debating other senators, when you're trying to get a bill going, when you're trying to speak to your constituents or the American people, being able to communicate your point.
00:18:54.000Also, again, I've had people in my family who've had strokes, and I've also had people in my family who've suffered from, you know, cognitive decline.
00:19:01.000Six months is a pretty important benchmark for stroke victims.
00:19:05.000That's when you'll have a pretty clear idea if they're going to recover or to what degree they're going to recover.
00:19:10.000It's sort of like, you know, the first 48 hours after someone gets kidnapped.
00:20:17.000You know, someone mentioned therapy and therapy can be very, very helpful, especially if you are doing it every day and you're taking a lot of time in your therapy.
00:20:26.000Essentially, what we know is that in the first three to six months is where you see the most improvement.
00:20:31.000There can be some improvement over the next year, but I think he's about six months out now.
00:21:41.000Only God's judgment is what matters when it comes to the ultimate truth.
00:21:44.000You are judged each and every day, and you should be, and you should be judging others.
00:21:47.000Not judging them as though you're a judge during execution or determining whether they're a good person or bad person, but you certainly need to be making judgments when electing representatives.
00:24:16.000I'd asked the question to be kind of funny earlier, but when you're debating somebody, Would you have been any less prepared if a guy had literally pooped and covered himself in it and said, fight me, fight me, right?
00:24:26.000I would have been like, I don't know how to respond to either one of those.
00:27:16.000When I get head cold, that's just something that kind of runs in the family.
00:27:19.000That's different from someone who has had a stroke and consistently, across the board, is not performing to the level that is required of his job.
00:27:26.000And by the way, unlike Federman, with, you know, his response is, goodnight!
00:27:32.000Donald Trump had some great answers to the media's questions, claims, accusations.
00:29:12.000So that was an easy answer, but even if, let's say that he was sick and not able to get down the stairs very well, That wasn't a disqualifying condition.
00:29:20.000Being able to move around and run a race is not a qualification for being President of the United States.
00:29:48.000They're trying to use it as an attack.
00:29:50.000Then with Donald Trump, they would say, well, why is he lifting this glass of water?
00:29:53.000There's no consistency and it's very clear that it's just used as a tool.
00:29:57.000These people, and when I say these people, I mean people in the media, the entertainment industrial complex, they are so quick to weaponize it when it's not significant.
00:30:06.000It's because they are repelled by truth, right?
00:30:10.000Donald Trump, look, for all of his faults, he had an incredible amount of energy.
00:30:17.000You can't say, oh, he's not fit, and then be like, he's tweeting too much, he doesn't sleep, he just doesn't stop, he's fundamentally changing the country.
00:30:24.000Yeah, because he's enthusiastic and he has energy.
00:30:29.000And in this case, we know the guy had a stroke, we know that the six-month recovery point is important, and you're ableist.
00:30:34.000There really is a consistent through-line.
00:30:36.000If it's true, they reject it, and they fabricate a lie.
00:30:41.000And then, they accuse you of, insert ism here, racism, sexism, uh, transphobic, uh, transphobism, if that's a term, fatphobia-ism, I don't know.
00:30:51.000I have no idea, and I don't even know how you get over fatphobia.
00:31:04.000Well, look, every media outlet that I've seen covering this this morning has put, like, a stroke survivor Fetterman debate.
00:31:11.000Like, they're basically trying to carry his water and lean into the fact that he had a stroke so that they can say, oh, you need to be sympathetic to him.
00:31:17.000You're not supposed to win public office on sympathy.
00:31:41.000So this is also, they want to draw attention away from the fact that when you do get down to the substance, look, Fetterman, let's get rid of it, you can call me an ableist, racist, I don't care.
00:32:17.0002016 fracking moratorium pledge that Federman signed for an environmental watchdog group, as well as a 2016 tweet he sent while running for U.S.
00:33:43.000By the way, this is a live show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
00:33:45.000Eastern, and next week we have something that will only go on Rumble, so you can watch us on YouTube, on Rumble.
00:33:50.000There's audio, Spotify, Apple, Android, all that, and of course Mug Club.
00:33:53.000We have a whole additional segment on Andrew Tate today, another 45 minutes of show where we'll get into theology a little bit.
00:33:59.000So nothing would make me happier than you all switching and leaving to Rumble, and next week we do have an interview with a A mortician, an undertaker who's had to deal with bodies in the face of new stuff.
00:34:26.000When we talked about all of the races that were closer than we thought, we actually left out a very key race that most people aren't talking about because it's New York.
00:34:33.000You just assume that a Democrat is going to be governor of New York, and it looks... it's within the margin, I think, with the Quinnipiac poll, and also it's almost too close to call in other polls.
00:35:43.000Let's move on to this now while we're talking about ableism and you can't please everybody because you say, hey, hold on, I don't think you should be a senator.
00:38:44.000So let's go, let's do a then and now here, because of course people have been upset with Taylor Swift, but back then, and this is how Taylor Swift became popular, she was an apolitical, girl-next-door kind of country music star, right?
00:38:55.000Very talented, I'm not taking that away from Taylor Swift, was very talented for someone her age.
00:38:58.000When asked about politics back then, Taylor would give responses like, I don't talk about politics because it might influence other people, and I don't think that I know enough yet in life to be telling people who to vote for.
00:39:10.000Now, she of course began showing support for Democrats in the state of Tennessee.
00:39:17.000It was a huge story, and of course there are a bunch of other agendas that she's decided to take on as her raison d'être, but I think we have a clip.
00:39:25.000The midterm race in her home state of Tennessee is a major battle Swift had avoided politics in the past, but ABC's Eva Pilgrim is here with more.
00:39:33.000And Eva, probably not a surprise to many, she's picking the Democrat in this race.
00:39:38.000But it is a surprise to see that she's actually speaking about politics.
00:39:41.000This is so Out of the norm for Taylor Swift, who until now has avoided any comment about politics, even taking down a post at one point encouraging people to just get out to vote.
00:39:50.000But overnight, the superstar making it clear to her 112 million followers on Instagram and the world where she stands.
00:39:59.000Okay, and then after the Roe v. Wade decision, Swift retweeted Michelle Obama and wrote, I'm absolutely terrified that this is where we are.
00:40:06.000That after so many decades of people fighting for women's rights to their own bodies, today's decision has stripped us of that.
00:40:14.000I love how it really is with the abortion issue.
00:40:16.000And by the way, they have not been getting the traction they thought they would going into the midterms, which I'm really happy about.
00:40:20.000It's just, no, no, I don't have the rights to my own body if I can't abort a baby.
00:40:24.000Again, this idea that I have the right to do whatever I want.
00:40:28.000And I know libertarians will maybe get upset with me here, but we did have a culture where you would take into consideration how it affects other people, certainly if you're terminating a life, which we know you are.
00:40:37.000At the very least, we can agree in the third trimester.
00:40:39.000At the very least, we can agree when it's viable, even if you're not pro-life.
00:40:41.000You're certainly terminating another life, but when we talk also about being A stroke victim who's maybe mentally unfit being a senator.
00:40:48.000When we talk about women having to go into the military, in the Marines, where they can do half as many push-ups and still get a perfect score.
00:42:32.000So, fat people are mad because in the Swift video, even though it's pro-trans and she has a love interest who's a man with a... I don't even know if he's a John Thomas.
00:43:39.000So Taylor Swift is fat, and Lizzo is skinny AF.
00:43:43.000Well, but if it's so bad, why would it say skinny AF?
00:43:46.000Wouldn't it just say fat, because that's what beautiful...
00:43:49.000This is the thing where they want to act like they don't.
00:43:51.000This is the problem with feminism, okay?
00:43:52.000It's the same bullshit that you see in She-Hulk.
00:43:54.000You want to see everything that is wrong with feminism?
00:43:57.000Try and stomach two episodes of She-Hulk.
00:44:00.000It's, oh, all guys are completely incompetent when she clearly is terrible at her job.
00:44:05.000I can't believe that people are mad at me for being in this job.
00:44:07.000What she was unqualified for was given the job because she's a celebrity superhero.
00:44:11.000And then at the same time, I don't care what anyone thinks about me while she's getting custom designer suits and dresses to try and look better.
00:44:20.000As she signs a multi-million dollar beauty deal with makeup, with perfume, which, by the way, you have to jump in a vat of that because of the fat yeast infections.
00:44:28.000The point is, they try and act as though they don't care.
00:44:32.000And this is why there's no pleasing anybody, because it can't be objective truth.
00:44:36.000If you think that Lizzo is skinny AF, And Taylor Swift is either fat or you think that that commentary and that was fat phobic, then there is no truth that can get through to you.
00:44:52.000Also, I don't know about you, I don't know about you, if you had your pick, getting rid of obviously like, assuming like they couldn't talk.
00:45:14.000I think Lizzo would crush me and therefore I would die.
00:45:16.000Get your Little Orphan Annie LGBT fat pride decoder pen.
00:45:20.000Yeah, but she would play a mean flute while I was dying.
00:45:24.000No, but look, I think Taylor Swift—I love it that they go after Taylor Swift.
00:45:28.000I love it that people who go out and try to virtue signal and say, oh, I can't believe—and say stupid stuff like that we talked about with abortion, what she said about that, you know, it's our bodies, I can't believe we're losing our rights.
00:45:38.000I love it when the left eats their own.
00:45:40.000Because it shows you that, like you said, there is no pleasing them.
00:45:46.000It is whatever we think at any point in time, and it can be completely taken out of context.
00:45:51.000Do you remember—and this maybe wasn't—do you remember when she got in trouble for having cornrows and eating watermelon in one of her music videos?
00:46:44.000But the point is, if you look at most people who are wealthy in this country, they've had to create businesses, or they've had to provide goods or services, right?
00:46:48.000They've had to build it from the ground up.
00:46:50.000And as someone who's been in both sides, who's acted, but who's also done, you know, not only stand-up, but now employed 20 people, I know what it takes to build this up.
00:47:00.000A lot of people who are actors, or in the entertainment industry, they're incredibly talented, but they feel guilty because it's God-given.
00:47:07.000In other words, they go from nothing to millions of dollars, and I think they think, there's a part of them that says, this easily could have been someone else, somewhere else, I didn't earn this.
00:47:17.000I think it's a huge component of what happens.
00:47:20.000I mean, you know, stand-up comedians don't always have the most amount of respect for actors who sit there and bitch about their craft and how hard it is.
00:47:27.000It's like, you're saying what they tell you to.
00:47:29.000Of course there are great actors and there are fantastic actors and there are terrible actors.
00:47:33.000No, but people who have to create something, it's like, well, hold on a second, you have a script, you have a producer, you have a makeup artist, you have a stage and a microphone.
00:47:39.000And people are going to boo you if you're not good.
00:47:41.000Well, and try to get you canceled and every other thing.
00:47:44.000Well, I think the real problem with this, too, is Taylor Swift is putting out a music video where she's trying to show, at least from what I can grasp from it, that people do deal with the fact that they are, say, fat shamed, or they do feel bad about themselves, or they do live in a society where they don't feel like they're good enough.
00:48:14.000But instead, you want to look at it, rifle through it, find the word fat, not realize what the actual meaning of it is, and then poison her with it.
00:49:28.000You know, the deaf community is a big thing.
00:49:30.000You know, Reg, who obviously worked here, is brilliant.
00:49:32.000He has a son who's deaf and another one who is hearing impaired.
00:49:35.000And he said it's really a problem that doesn't need to exist in modern times in the sense that, you know, you either get to the point of cochlear implants or, you know, hearing aids have gotten much better.
00:50:28.000Boy, it left me wanting to kill myself.
00:50:30.000He's made a lot of crap, if we're being honest.
00:50:32.000Speaking of crap, let's move on to public schools here.
00:50:35.000In this country right now, you may not know of this, and I think this is really valuable because for the first time we kind of have an apples-to-apples comparison, which we didn't have before with homeschooling and with public schools, because the methods were so different.
00:50:47.000And now a lot of homeschooling has moved online, and of course we know for the last two years public schools, who have way, way, way more money and qualifications, have largely moved online as well.
00:50:56.000Well, the 2022 results from the National Assessment of Education Sorry, National Assessment of Education Progress, the NAEP.
00:51:22.000The math scores are historic, the worst decline ever recorded, with roughly 25% of 4th graders and 38% of 8th graders performing below the basic level, the lowest of the three achievement levels for the test.
00:51:38.000Students who were already struggling in school showed the most dramatic drop-off.
00:51:43.000Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona calling the results appalling and unacceptable.
00:51:49.000Is that that guy who makes like $450,000 a year?
00:52:48.000And that's also why I think putting children in public schools today is tantamount to child abuse.
00:52:52.000Hit the like button, or you can comment below if you agree.
00:52:54.000But here's the thing, with all of this happening, with people having the lowest test scores, with people doing very, very, very poorly in school and not being educated, they want more money when they go to the workforce.
00:54:31.000And there's been a real movement, by the way, not just people like John Oliver, but people in the government from the left, trying to make it more difficult, nearly impossible, to homeschool.
00:54:39.000In Canada, where I was raised, I knew one kid who was homeschooled.
00:55:26.000Black homeschooled students, black American homeschooled students, actually did 23 to 42 percent better than black students in public schools.
00:55:35.000And this is data you won't have, but I'm willing to bet why.
00:55:41.000Probably young black Americans who are being homeschooled, I'm willing to bet that a higher percentage of them have fathers in the household.
00:55:47.000Because of the kinds of people who typically homeschool.
00:55:49.000They're typically traditional, you typically need a father there if you're going to have one of the parents homeschooling, a strong family unit.
00:55:55.000Because it's even more drastic than just the average.
00:55:59.000It's higher for black homeschool students.
00:56:00.000So if we're talking about this, we're talking about improving the black community here in this country, why don't we talk about Homeschooling.
00:56:16.000Depending on the neighborhood, you know.
00:56:18.000Yeah, well I mean it's one of those, you made the point like you obviously you've got to have somebody earning a living, somebody staying home with the children to do the homeschooling.
00:56:25.000But I don't know, if I had to guess, My impression of homeschooled people, like you said, maladjusted, like socially a little bit awkward, I would not have guessed doing much, much better overall than public school kids.
00:56:40.000I know some smart people that were homeschooled, but I would just assume that the school system would have, you know, billions and billions of dollars to have better educational services for people, and I was wrong.
00:57:15.000So no, I'm surprised that you're surprised.
00:57:17.000Yeah, no, I've always known that the numbers are higher.
00:57:20.000But here's where it also is even more important, when you look at how much money is spent on public schools.
00:57:25.000You know, you see those stupid bumper stickers, when the Air Force needs to host a bake sale to raise money for their bombers, and public schools get all the money they need.
00:57:31.000If you look at total spending, when you include federal and state spending, we spend way more on education.
00:57:36.000Now, let's also look at specifically, right, you would think the pandemic.
00:57:40.000People now could say, well, we weren't prepared.
00:57:42.000The reason it's gone down is because we weren't prepared for the pandemic.
00:57:44.000By the way, the pandemic did not cause proficiency scores to plummet.
00:57:49.000It was the insane, dishonest reactions to COVID-19.
00:57:59.000Well, $190 billion that was allocated to schools in response to COVID says you were.
00:58:04.000$190 billion and you're acting like it just came upon you like a thief of the night?
00:58:10.000$190 billion should soften that landing a little bit.
00:58:13.000Because that's what you guys said you needed.
00:58:15.000You said teachers unions across the country, one you said you couldn't go to work because it was a scary place because people could get sick, right?
00:58:21.000Even though we knew a lot about the virus by that point, you just said we need more money.
00:58:25.000They were striking in Chicago for more money.
00:58:28.000They were striking Everywhere that they were striking for more money because it's all about the student.
00:58:32.000It's not about the teacher, but if you pay me more, I'll do a better job.
00:58:34.000That's essentially what we've been hearing, but then we give you $190 billion in additional funding that's either earmarked or taken already, and your results suck.
00:58:42.000Well, the average spending per pupil, or the federal government, I believe.
00:58:45.000I believe this is only the federal government.
00:58:53.000By the way, in some low-income districts, the COVID funding alone—and by the way, when I say low-income, I do mean there's a higher percentage, right?
00:58:59.000This is where they'll try and accuse you of being racist if you say there's a higher percentage of Black Americans, but then they'll say, by the way, of course, there's environmental racism because these factories or these oil refineries, they get set up in low-income areas, which have a lot of Black people.
00:59:13.000But if you say it here, look, this negatively affects Black Americans more.
00:59:17.000So in some low-income districts, COVID funding alone allocated an additional $30,000 per student.
00:59:30.000I don't know how a person of color is any different from colored people, and I just feel like five years from now it's going to turn on us.
00:59:51.000You know, you've heard me talk about this when people say, well, the wall's going to be expensive.
00:59:54.000The wall, if you were to build it on the southern border, would be somewhere between $20 billion to $40 billion, depending on the estimates you use.
01:00:01.000Illegal immigrants cost the taxpayers well over $100 billion annually.
01:00:06.000Homeschooled students save $56 billion for taxpayers.
01:00:47.000Of course they have to have a baseline, but when they go way below the baseline and hit their head on the bar, they still get to do their job.
01:00:53.000It's because the more days you're there, that's how they get their money and their funding.
01:01:18.000I wish when I was getting screamed at for never going to class, they were just like, it's about money!
01:01:25.000If they would have just said it, they should have been like, look, 20 bucks a class.
01:01:31.000We've known this before, but I'm hoping, you know, I talked about this yesterday, you know, you see Cuban Americans are the most consistently conservative voting bloc.
01:02:29.000Everybody who has a lot of money thinks, oh, I can just throw money at it.
01:02:32.000Mark Zuckerberg gave $100 million, or at least contributed to the fund that raised $100 million for Newark Public Schools when Cory Booker was there and actually running the program.
01:03:40.000Now I'm not saying that throwing more money at it makes it worse, but I can say that there is a reverse correlation if you actually look on a graph.
01:03:48.000The more money we spend, the proficiency scores have gone down.
01:03:52.000So I can, we can all definitively say more money, more money, more money is not the solution.
01:03:57.000And we can all definitively say That homeschooling produces better outcomes and saves the taxpayer money.
01:04:05.000People want to talk about non-partisan issues.
01:04:07.000Oh, you're just shouting over each other.
01:04:19.000We talked about this before we locked down the schools and the teachers didn't want to go back to school.
01:04:23.000We had doctors saying that not only are we going to have mental health issues, the likes of which we have never seen, but this directly affects students and their ability to learn.
01:04:33.000You made your decisions. Yeah, well and one of the things that we didn't talk about, but if you look
01:04:38.000at Catholic private schools, in that same proficiency report that came out, and you made
01:04:42.000Catholic private schools a state, right? They would be number one in every category for proficiency.
01:04:47.000Number one, one of the differences with Catholic private schools, one, so this is the same solution
01:04:52.000Hit you with a ruler and make you drink, make you eat last night's vomit?
01:04:59.000No, but the two things, and you can take these over and you can apply these to public school as well.
01:05:03.000One is, parents are paying to send their kids to private school.
01:05:07.000So parents are invested in their education, right?
01:05:10.000And two, better quality teachers because there's competition.
01:05:14.000At private Catholic schools, if you don't have a good academic program, which means you're sending people to the next level either for jobs or to colleges, they're doing well, they're having good outcomes, people tend to look at your program and go, ah, it's not worth the money, I'm going to go do something else.
01:05:27.000Public school has never had to compete.
01:05:29.000All you need to do right now is get rid of funding for public education, get rid of all of the payment mechanisms.
