I don t think you should have to go to school until you're 13. I think there should just be a giant playground where kids can play all day, and if there are 5% of people who are academic, and those people shouldn t have a trade, they should be sent to school. I mean, outside of those few freaks that genuinely are curious and genuinely deserve to be there, no one goes to school except for the 5% who are actually interested in something other than math and other stuff. I don t even know what that is, but I bet you can guess what it is. My daughter is 11, and she hates her school. She could go to private school, which is $50,000 in my neighborhood. Or I could send her to a private school. But I think my daughter s doing it because they teach you all this math and stuff, and they run out of stuff, so they end up getting more and more advanced until you re finding the volume of weird shapes. And as I'm doing this, I m calculating the surface area of a rhomboid, and it makes a weird vase shape. And I m doing it in a tub that s a little bigger than a vase. And it s a bizarre shape, so I m putting it on a scale to see how much it s going to weigh. And then I m not hungry at dinner anymore, and then I don't have enough food to eat dinner anymore. I m hungry at 5pm, and I m starving to death at dinner at 7pm, so why don t you should you go to a nice fancy private school? . if you like math, you should listen to this episode, then you should check out this episode of the podcast.

00:00:00.000Why does my daughter need to know the surface area of a rhomboid?
00:00:06.000Remember I was talking about education in another podcast and how it should just be what they do in Norway, which is called forest kindergarten.
00:00:14.000And they just have the kids out in the forest.
00:00:15.000And they give them knives, by the way.
00:01:07.000And that teacher will touch that person on the shoulders and go, uh, yeah, come with me.
00:01:12.000And he takes that kid to a room where they show them shark books, and they learn about the history of sharks, and they learn about predators, and, you know, the thresher shark, and the tiger shark, and the whale shark, and all these different sharks.
00:01:28.000And then, you know, that person could end up being a marine biologist.
00:01:33.000But, outside of those few freaks that genuinely are curious and genuinely deserve to be there, no one goes to school.
00:01:42.000When I was a kid, it was 15 minutes in the morning, you got outside to play, maybe it was 20, then there was a full hour at lunch, and then there was another 15 minute session.
00:01:50.000Now, they don't have the recess, they have the hour at lunch, or 40 minutes or whatever it is, but, um,
00:02:26.000It's a giant daycare full of bullshit.
00:02:30.000My daughter is 11, and she's calculating the surface area of not just cubes, but- no, sorry, the volume of these 3D triangles, cylinders, cubes, rhomboids.
00:02:58.000My dad made me take math in college, which is the hardest thing on earth.
00:03:03.000The only way you can take calculus and algebra in university is to have a large breakfast, not go out the night before, sit in the front row and put your hand up maybe every two minutes with a question, and even then you get a D.
00:03:17.000But we were finding the surface area of the function 3x plus y cubed spot about the z-axis.
00:03:27.000And as I'm calculating this, that was, by the way, that was one question and it was a three-hour test, so it takes you three hours to do all the calculus for that.
00:03:35.000As I'm doing this, I'm thinking, you know what?
00:03:37.000If anyone ever presents me with a bizarre shape,
00:03:41.000And they asked me what the volume of this is.
00:03:43.000I'll just put it in a tub that's full, and I'll measure the amount of water that's displaced.
00:04:26.000Or I could send her to private school, which in my neighborhood is $50,000. $50,000.
00:04:36.000And the reason we moved out to the Burbs was because the schools were so good, but so many people are doing that that they're getting packed.
00:04:43.000And so, the quality of education is suffering, and the quality of life, I mean, God, these kids, they can't even sit down for lunch.
00:04:50.000My daughter had to eat lunch the other day by her locker because there was no chairs in the cafeteria.
00:05:19.000Remember Samantha Bee had a thing in the Daily Show about she was making fun of people who think teachers are ballin' and she showed some of their shitty apartments?
00:05:27.000Yeah, that doesn't mean you don't make a lot of money.
00:05:30.000It means you're a lazy cunt who gets four months off a year and doesn't fill them with anything but sitting in a deck chair by the lake at your sister's cottage.
00:06:43.000Same with Baltimore, same with Detroit.
00:06:44.000There's these areas that are bad and they basically make up all the crime in the country, these little tiny pockets.
00:06:51.000And in New York, there's no crime in Manhattan, Brooklyn's pretty good, Harlem's fine, but East New York, Bushwick, is a fucking zoo with a murder a day.
00:07:48.000And in every case, they're naive white liberals who went there to sort of, because they saw too many movies, and they were going to be the, you know, the great white hope.
00:08:39.000He told them they may not say the word nigger, which to them was like saying you can't say the word the or pineapple.
00:08:46.000It was just, what, why are you choosing that random word that's not remotely offensive?
00:08:50.000So they changed it to neighbor and ninja.
00:08:53.000They just say, I walk in there, there's like three ninjas walking up to me.
00:08:56.000This ninja's like, that's how they talk.
00:08:59.000So he's a success story, but in a way it's not a success story because it takes basically an intense MMA, American Ninja Warrior, Marine, to have good stories about getting stuff done.
00:09:13.000And by the way, he doesn't represent the average teacher.
00:09:15.000If they were all this intense Marine MMA type guys who drank Mountain Dew and punched holes in the wall,
00:09:21.000And was willing to literally fight to help these kids learn, then we wouldn't have a problem.
00:09:26.000And that's actually what charter schools are doing.
00:09:28.000Charter schools are tough, and they're thriving in Harlem, despite what the New York Times wants you to think, and they make kids do push-ups and run laps, and if they don't wear their uniform they can't come to school, and if they don't come to school they'll go to their house and make them wash their uniform.
00:11:35.000And she grabbed some Muslim chick, and for some reason there's a steel gate separating one room.
00:11:40.000I guess maybe it leads to something valuable like musical instruments, so they have to put down a steel gate and lock it at the end of the day.
00:11:55.000She has this maniacal grin on her face.
00:11:59.000And she lowers the steel gate, but on the other side of her.
00:12:03.000So she's now on the side of the musical instruments with the Muslim student and the students and the teacher on the other side of the gate and she can't get the gate up.
00:12:11.000And that's when this black girl just starts beating the living shit
00:12:49.000This is a hard-working person, great gal, friend of mine, who has a degree in education.
00:12:55.000And she said, So, I stopped calling security, I did as I was told, I totally ignored the fistfights in the back, I totally ignored the cafe culture in the middle, and I just talked to those two girls.
00:14:17.000Everyone is coming out dumber than they were before.
00:14:20.000Can you believe there's more flat earthers now than ever before in history?
00:14:25.000That's because of this shit education we have in this country.
00:14:30.000You know, the myth that most people with shitty educations believe is that we all thought the earth was flat and Galileo said it's round and they threw him in prison.
00:14:41.000Galileo said that the universe doesn't revolve around the earth, it revolves around the sun.
00:14:46.000And the church told him, please stop saying that, and he told them to fuck off and then they just threw him in jail because he was being lippy.
00:14:53.000But no one believed in the Flat Earth.
00:14:55.000Even back to cave days, everyone saw the moon.
00:14:59.000So the Flat Earthers were always this weird, bizarre sect that was separated from modern, normal, rational man.
00:15:07.000And, sorry, not just modern, but ancient rational man.
00:15:13.000Today, they say things like, oh, really?
00:15:16.000They pour water on a ball and say, look, it's falling off.
00:15:20.000Why would water stay if the Earth wasn't flat?
00:15:22.000I had a guy on my old show who talked about it, and he said he actually had become a deist.
00:15:29.000He was an atheist until he discovered the flat Earth and what the universe really looks like, and that it was so incredible and beautiful that that's when he fell in love with God and started believing in God.
00:16:19.000Well, if they want to control- wouldn't it make sense to take all the criminals and just throw them in the snow on the outskirts of the Frisbee?
00:16:26.000Isn't that what the evil globalist state would do?
00:16:29.000No, they want to keep us from- why do they want to keep us from traveling?
00:17:13.000And you know what else our shit education is doing?
00:17:15.000I'm finding it's making young people really arrogant.
00:17:18.000Like, have you, have you, are you familiar with millennial-splaining?
00:17:22.000Where people go, yeah, actually, that's, um, that's the algorithm doing that, and, uh, if you just, uh, double-click on the bottom icon, it'll fix it.
00:17:31.000And you go, no, I tried that, that's not it.
00:17:36.000A guy here, I have to whisper in case he hears me, but I had on a pocket square that was made of tissue.
00:17:44.000And I said, the funny thing about using a toilet paper pocket square is women notice, men don't notice, but women notice when you have a pocket square that's made of tissue.
00:18:02.000And he's telling me, a 47 year old, that I'd be surprised.
00:18:09.000And he's never worn a pocket square before.
00:18:12.000So he's telling me, someone who wears a pocket square every day and has dealt with millions of people's reaction to it, he's telling me that I've got the pattern wrong.
00:18:24.000And you can use this to your advantage, by the way.
00:18:26.000I just won a $3 bet with the Millennial where I said, no one can seem to identify this song.
00:19:41.000I have won bets where they can't tell the difference between a beer and an alcoholic drink like vodka.
00:19:52.000I mean, that's the very, very outskirts of this bet, but I've even won with that.
00:19:57.000But, like, people who think they can tell the difference blind taste test with Coors Light and Bud, and they always laugh at me, too.
00:20:05.000Believe me, I can tell the difference.
00:20:07.000My hypothesis here is that our shitty education system is so bad that people aren't used to being wrong, and so they just assume they're right about everything, and you can make money off of that.
00:20:46.000He's the only time I've lost this bet.
00:20:48.000He was blindfolded and he just sat there with like a
00:20:52.00050 fucking coffee mugs full of different beers and drinks and he was just like Miller Lite, Bud, Coors Light, that's Grey Goose, that's Smirnoff.
00:21:43.000And so he goes, ugh, look, put a blindfold on!
00:21:47.000So I wore my blindfold and I tasted one and I said, there is, this is on YouTube actually, that is disgusting, that tastes like gasoline, that's Turkey's Nest, clearly.
00:22:00.000And then he gave me another one and I go, now that's my baby, that's my Maker's Mark, that's my poison.
00:22:43.000He said to my brother, I've got some brilliant ideas for Gavin to save money on his real estate tax, but he has too low of an IQ to understand them.
00:22:56.000One time we were playing Trivial Pursuit, and I was sucking, because I'm stupid, and we were on teams.
00:23:02.000I think it was like the McInnes's versus my wife's family.
00:23:05.000And he bashes, after I failed, yet another question.
00:23:09.000It was something I should have known, that he doesn't know, like something about rock in the 80s or something.
00:23:14.000What was Rick Springfield's dad's name?
00:23:16.000And I didn't get it, and I go, I have no idea.
00:23:19.000And he just bangs the table, and he goes,
00:23:22.000He says, I do not want this person on my team!
00:23:59.000I went to university in 1988, I started, and I went to 92.
00:24:04.0001990 is when all this political correctness stuff started.
00:24:09.000That's when, like our radio station, CKCU, at Carleton University in Ottawa, still had indie rock and punk stuff, and it was all music.
00:24:17.000Today, if you check out CKCU, it's like, the Inuit hour, with huk-de-huk-de-huk-da-tuk.
00:24:23.000And the Muslim Hour, and the Indian Sounds, and it's all about diversity.
00:24:28.000And, of course, the classes are insane.
00:24:31.000Women's Studies, where you're taught a mumbo-jumbo language about, you know, intersectionality and hegemony with these words that no one in the real world uses.
00:25:00.000And not one of these human beings has ever said intersectionality.
00:25:05.000Like in law, you learn stupid terms, but you use them in court.
00:25:09.000No normal people understand you, but the judge does and the other lawyer does, so it's like learning Klingon, but at least you can use it at a Trekkie convention.
00:25:19.000In school, it's like you're learning Klingon and there's no Trekkie conventions anywhere.
00:25:25.000You get a job at Huffington Post or Slate and you just call everyone a racist.
00:26:28.000I did that last time, and it worked way better than the nice guy.
00:26:31.000Derek Beckles was an old buddy of mine.
00:26:34.000We don't speak anymore because of Trump, but he used to do this thing when his neighbors were loud, his Mexican neighbors who would party all night long.
00:26:43.000He would come in banging the door, and then they'd open it, and he'd be laughing.
00:29:41.000Communism has much more appeal because the doctrine of fascism is my people, my accent, my tiny area is the greatest and everyone else sucks.
00:31:12.000And then the reason the dogs act like such lunatics is because they're starving to death and they're dying of thirst because their throat is sealed shut.
00:32:18.000You can't get someone to press an anal cunt record.
00:32:23.000How are you going to get someone to help you murder millions of people?
00:32:28.000It is the most, it's the craziest theory I've ever heard and it dictates most of what the left does.
00:32:36.000It dictates why, you know, they want Roseanne Barr fired immediately because, and it's the same reason they attack me, because this guy might not be racist and anti-Semitic, homophobic, whatever, but he is a gateway drug to the alt-right.
00:35:37.000And he said to Michael Malice, basically what I'm saying right now, which is, the idea of a new American Nazi party starting up and committing mass genocide, I mean, it's absolutely fantastic!
00:35:53.000Now, Alice had to explain to him that though you're using the dictionary definition of fantastic correctly, meaning phantasmagoric or ridiculous or crazy, don't say it like that because it sounds very positive.
00:36:53.000And I think they're doing it to impress their dad, and I think their dad is traumatized by the stories of his dad, who was a child in World War II, and as what I call justified cultural PTSD.
00:37:06.000And these poor bastards are the same ones that write checks to the ADL and the SPLC because they get spooked into thinking there's a new Nazi party starting.
00:37:14.000So those grandpas traumatize their sons, which is understandable.
00:37:19.000And then the sons tell their kids, who are the new bloggers at BuzzFeed and Huffington Post and everything, they say, look, if you do anything in life, it should be noble.
00:37:32.000And for the sake of my father and grandfather, you should still be fighting the good fight to make sure a Nazi party never happens.
00:39:20.000So that's how they get the numbers up, and it's just disingenuous.
00:39:23.000And the thing with the Nazis, the white fucking supremacist terrorists, whatever, they're finding like some dumb racist dude who shot his friend for fucking his wife, and...
00:39:34.000They count that as an act of domestic terror, which is just willful ignorance.
00:39:40.000You know the KKK is just seven old guys with white beards screaming about the NAACP in fucking rural Georgia.
00:39:49.000Like I saw some guy, I think it was on my Instagram feed, and he said, you know, you keep conflating Islam with terrorism and that's so unfair.
00:40:49.000If it killed... I think I calculated recently, some journalist asked me from the Toronto Star, she said, you thought that incel guy was Muslim.
00:41:26.000And it had a big thing on how, you know, you should use a rental truck, and you gotta really accelerate, and it's a great way to murder people.
00:41:33.000Since then, 150, about 150 people have been killed with vehicles.
00:41:39.000And that's made up of about 15 different attacks.
00:43:20.000Everyone knows that Roseanne is obsessed with Israel and Judaism and inequality for Jews, and that's why she's so anti-Islam, because she sees them as a threat to the Jewish people, especially in Israel.
00:43:32.000So, when you put that on the cover of the Daily News, are you pretending that you think that she's a Nazi?
00:43:39.000Or do you know the context of the picture, do you get the joke, but you're being willfully ignorant because it's good for your team?
00:43:52.000When I got pepper sprayed at NYU, and they were like, Nazi, fascist, go home.
00:43:58.000And so I did the talk anyway, and my eyes were sealed shut with pepper spray, so I looked like a Chinese guy that just got punched in the head.
00:44:05.000And I got up there on the podium, and Antifa were all in the front row, and they're not allowed to yell, so they were just giving me the finger.
00:44:13.000One of them was holding up a picture that he drew of the finger.
00:45:15.000And they're saying it because they don't want Trump to win.
00:45:17.000I don't know why they don't want Trump to win.
00:45:19.000I think it's because he represents an alpha and it
00:45:24.000Comedians especially had sort of made being a nerd cool.
00:45:28.000You know, like that show At Midnight with Chris Huzitz, the ones that love Neil deGrasse Tyson.
00:45:35.000And they have their shows like Nerd Alert, and I'm a Star Wars nerd, and being a nerd is cool, and Big Bang Theory, nerds are awesome.
00:45:43.000And they think they had successfully brainwashed society into hating alpha males and seeing them all jocks as rapists and all nerds as wonderful creatures.
00:46:03.000They're the degenerates, because they never got laid, so they want to steal it in the dead of night.
00:46:10.000But I think that Trump comes along and says, yeah, no, nerds are still nerds and they're not cool.
00:46:16.000And that freaks ugly people and fat people and losers the fuck out because they've been identified and they're scared it's going to go back to wedgie days.
00:46:24.000That's why they hate Trump, is my theory.
00:46:31.000That he's a white supremacist and a Nazi, and blah blah blah, and I'm a Nazi, and this person's a Nazi, and Alan Dershowitz is a Nazi.
00:46:38.000I mean, he literally gets painted with swastikas on his flyers.
00:46:41.000This is a guy who literally wrote the book on Israel, The Case for Israel, and he gets swastikas on his college campus posters.
00:46:52.000They obviously know that Alan Dershowitz is not a Nazi, but at this point, they're just like, I'm gonna kick in the balls, I'm gonna cheat, anything to win.
00:47:28.000When you're in a street fight, you bite his face, you fucking claw at him, you punch if you get a chance, but if you don't get a chance, you bite his leg.
00:47:39.000You just become a feral, I was going to say a feral coyote, as opposed to the coyotes that are raised in the domestication of your living room.
00:47:48.000No, you just become like a fucking rabid Rottweiler.
00:49:48.000You found an autistic white supremacist who got spooked by Antifa smashing at his car and he freaked out and plowed the car into a bunch of people.
00:49:59.000And by the way, he was caught and duly punished for that.
00:50:35.000We got Lauren Southern on the show talking about South Africa, her documentary there.
00:50:39.000We're gonna go through all the myths about the genocide, the ethnic genocide going on, the ethnic cleansing going on in South Africa.
00:50:49.000And then we got a bunch of dudes on, we're gonna play a game, I got Bill Schultz on the show, we're gonna play a game called Would You Rather, where we come up with, we used to do this tree planting a lot, try to come up with scenarios where would you rather do this and rather do that.
00:51:00.000And by the way, when you're playing that game, don't put in things like punch your mom in the face.
