Louder with Crowder - Public Schools Are GARBAGE and We Have PROOF!! | Louder with Crowder

00:00:00.000 I'm sorry.

00:00:20.000 Okay.

00:00:21.000 Are we good to go?

00:00:21.000 All right.

00:00:22.000 Look, before we start the show, I just wanted you to know something.

00:00:25.000 Sometimes people think that what we discuss here, what I'm about to say, is hyperbolic.

00:00:29.000 It's not at all.

00:00:31.000 I stand by it 100%, and I would like to see other so-called conservatives and Republicans do it.

00:00:36.000 We'll get into what's happening in Minneapolis with teachers.

00:00:39.000 We'll get into what's happening nationally with the teachers' unions, what's happening in Florida.

00:00:43.000 We absolutely need to defund the Federal Department of Education.

00:00:48.000 Not saying that as a clickbait.

00:00:50.000 Not saying that to reel you in.

00:00:52.000 It is absolutely not only what I believe, but what I'm pretty sure you will at least understand when you watch this show.

00:00:59.000 We don't need it.

00:01:00.000 Republicans know we don't need it.

00:01:02.000 Those in the federal government know we don't need it.

00:01:04.000 And teachers unions certainly know that we don't need it.

00:01:07.000 That's the bulk of today's show.

00:01:08.000 Let's go 🎵

00:01:24.000 You're a stranger in hope, that's what I know 🎵

00:01:31.000 You're a stranger in hope, I've got to follow 🎵

00:01:36.000 🎵 I'm gonna be so easy to spot 🎵 🎵 I'm gonna be so easy to spot 🎵

00:01:41.000 🎵 I'm gonna be so easy to spot 🎵 🎵 I'm gonna be so easy to spot 🎵

00:01:45.000 🎵 I'm gonna be so easy to spot 🎵 I was a little late on taking a sip.

00:01:49.000 Really?

00:01:49.000 Because I did the cold open.

00:01:51.000 By the way, you guys can, you know, let's hit this right now.

00:01:52.000 Comment below if you want us to do more of these cold opens.

00:01:54.000 Because 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.

00:01:58.000 You know what?

00:01:58.000 We can't please everybody.

00:02:00.000 They can't all be diamonds!

00:02:02.000 Like Liz Cheney. 0.99

00:02:04.000 You know, some people take the pressure and they're turned into a diamond, and some people take- and they're still just left with coal.

00:02:12.000 It's like, you start with clay, and you're setting out to make a beautiful vase.

00:02:16.000 Some people say vase, I say vase.

00:02:18.000 And then sometimes, you know, you demean more ghost, this whole thing, and you just end up with a pot.

00:02:27.000 That's Liz Cheney.

00:02:29.000 And she lost.

00:02:29.000 37 points.

00:02:31.000 We'll be talking about that.

00:02:32.000 We'll be talking about the teachers unions.

00:02:35.000 First off, the racist stuff that's going on in one particular state.

00:02:38.000 Then the solutions from one particular state, Florida.

00:02:41.000 And then the solution nationally. 0.92

00:02:43.000 Why public schools suck in general.

00:02:45.000 And why we need to defund the Department of Education.

00:02:47.000 And why people are concerned that Donald Trump has alluded to the fact that he would at least start the process.

00:02:53.000 So you can let me know what you think before you watch this show.

00:02:56.000 You think we really need the Department of Education?

00:02:58.000 I'll show you why we don't.

00:03:00.000 And, uh, Gerald A., how are you?

00:03:02.000 I am doing very well, and I'm glad we're talking about this.

00:03:04.000 See, I threw you a curveball there where I said, and then I went to you.

00:03:06.000 I was ready.

00:03:07.000 Yeah, okay.

00:03:07.000 I was happy for it.

00:03:08.000 I'm fine.

00:03:08.000 How are you?

00:03:10.000 I just hate schools.

00:03:10.000 Yeah.

00:03:11.000 How's the boot?

00:03:12.000 I don't have the boot on right now.

00:03:14.000 They said I can take it off every now and then.

00:03:15.000 I find the boot makes my foot hurt more.

00:03:17.000 It's like a stress fracture.

00:03:18.000 It's kind of like braces.

00:03:18.000 It does.

00:03:19.000 A little bird bones in your feet.

00:03:21.000 All right.

00:03:21.000 And then you know him.

00:03:22.000 You love him.

00:03:23.000 Quickest man on his feet.

00:03:24.000 We are on tour.

00:03:24.000 Go to ladderwithcrowder.com slash tour because there are other dates.

00:03:28.000 Some of them are sold out.

00:03:29.000 A lot of them aren't because we've expanded the theaters.

00:03:32.000 Phoenix, September 16th.

00:03:33.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:03:34.000 Houston, September 17th.

00:03:35.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:03:36.000 Dave Landau, how are you?

00:03:37.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:03:38.000 I'm good.

00:03:38.000 Good.

00:03:40.000 Oh, jeez!

00:03:41.000 The mustache!

00:03:42.000 Yeah, I shaved it.

00:03:43.000 You know, you can really start smelling the day.

00:03:46.000 You know, you wake up like, today I woke up this morning, I could still smell five guys and what I had for dinner.

00:03:51.000 Well, ZZ Top found a missing child.

00:03:53.000 Did they?

00:03:58.000 It'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?

00:04:16.000 It's funny, I woke up, it's just not there, chasing you.

00:04:16.000 It's terrifying!

00:04:19.000 I'm like, where'd it go?

00:04:21.000 That's what happened, he's like, I have to say I shaved it.

00:04:23.000 Yeah, we're doing a little sketch today, so I had to, I wanted to be authentic.

00:04:27.000 Doesn't that suck, we have to shave our beards and mustaches all because, we do this for you.

00:04:32.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:04:33.000 Mud Club.

00:04:33.000 It's a big set.

00:04:34.000 I grew that all July and I gotta get rid of it for you.

00:04:38.000 He's... July.

00:04:39.000 He's been growing that since last September.

00:04:41.000 Okay.

00:04:41.000 It was July of last year.

00:04:43.000 Right now, after the raid on President Trump, we had to double check.

00:04:47.000 Turns out this guy is real.

00:04:48.000 Because I know you'll think that we're faking something.

00:04:51.000 It's real.

00:04:52.000 This is a real liberal.

00:04:53.000 And if I'm wrong, you guys can admonish me.

00:04:55.000 I've done all of my due diligence.

00:04:56.000 It seems this is a real person. 0.99

00:04:59.000 The left is, of course, counting their crazy chickens. 0.98

00:05:02.000 The crazy chickens before they hatch.

00:05:04.000 Oh boy, the FBI is scanning fingerprints on every classified document that they recovered from Donald Trump's safe in Mar-a-Lago.

00:05:14.000 This means they're going to find out who touched each document so that they can prosecute them all.

00:05:21.000 This 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.

00:05:32.000 I'm wondering where his question mark suit is.

00:05:34.000 Wow get ready cuz justice is coming. I'm as ugly as a bat. 0.99

00:05:41.000 Blind as a bat. 0.99

00:05:44.000 Can you get money from the government?

00:05:45.000 Call 1-800- Oh, they're at my house.

00:05:47.000 Yeah.

00:05:48.000 Oh, jeez.

00:05:49.000 They're here.

00:05:50.000 Got milk?

00:05:51.000 You call 1-800, it just goes to his residential line. 0.66

00:05:52.000 Remember 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?

00:05:59.000 No.

00:05:59.000 They're like, do you know the answer to?

00:06:00.000 And he's like... It looks like this guy?

00:06:03.000 Identical.

00:06:04.000 Oh, wow.

00:06:06.000 Well, you know, so he has some options.

00:06:09.000 Yeah, he could do other crazies.

00:06:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:06:12.000 Identical.

00:06:13.000 Look, I don't want to make fun of someone just because they're heinously unattractive.

00:06:16.000 True.

00:06:16.000 So Liz Cheney lost her primary last night.

00:06:20.000 And unrelated news.

00:06:23.000 Man, and she had all that money her dad got from funding 9-11.

00:06:28.000 We're kidding.

00:06:29.000 Allegedly.

00:06:31.000 Unless you look into it.

00:06:34.000 Tuesday is when it happened.

00:06:36.000 We're Wednesday today.

00:06:37.000 Here's the thing.

00:06:40.000 She lost to a Trump-backed candidate Well, I should lose by 37 points when we're done with this.

00:06:47.000 By 37 points.

00:06:48.000 Think about that for a second.

00:06:49.000 37 points.

00:06:49.000 We have that from the New York Times here, Kevin.

00:06:52.000 That's crazy.

00:06:54.000 37 points.

00:06:56.000 I don't remember her losing by 37 points.

00:06:57.000 37 points.

00:06:59.000 You lose!

00:07:00.000 But, well, she got about 44,000 votes in the state, I believe was roughly the number.

00:07:08.000 And I'm betting around 10,000 were Dems that crossed the line in the primary, because you can do that in Wyoming.

00:07:12.000 Actually, no.

00:07:15.000 43,999 were Joe Lewis.

00:07:16.000 Ah.

00:07:17.000 Yeah, if you write in, you actually lose by 37 points.

00:07:20.000 Yeah.

00:07:21.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:07:22.000 And she did, though, however, credit where it's due, give one hell of a concession speech. 0.58

00:07:26.000 She's great at those. 1.00

00:07:27.000 The 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.

00:07:39.000 Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.

00:07:47.000 Speaking at Gettysburg, of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said, She does have her dad's good looks.

00:07:57.000 that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new

00:08:02.000 birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people

00:08:08.000 shall not perish from this earth.

00:08:11.000 As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and most important task.

00:08:17.000 Most of world history is a story of violent conflict, of servitude and suffering.

00:08:26.000 I didn't even see a head.

00:08:27.000 No.

00:08:28.000 No.

00:08:28.000 You're just the afterbirth, Miss Janie.

00:08:32.000 Yes. 0.99

00:08:35.000 She recorded that a week ago, knowing she was going to be killed off.

00:08:39.000 Let me get my picnic tape.

00:08:43.000 Let me read this, because of course it's a little bit childish, but hysterical.

00:08:48.000 I love it.

00:08:49.000 It's why we love it, and we're also going, maybe hold back a little bit, but don't really hold back.

00:08:52.000 Please don't.

00:08:53.000 President Donald Trump didn't hold back, posting to his Truth Social Look, here's what I will say.

00:09:00.000 Hers was grandiose.

00:09:01.000 She started talking about Abraham Lincoln and the birth of a nation and whatever.

00:09:05.000 So he responded in a way that was just as grandiose, only taking a big dump on her.

00:09:10.000 This is a wonderful result for America and a complete rebuke of the unselect committee Capitalized it?

00:09:21.000 Un.

00:09:22.000 Like it's an actual official organization?

00:09:24.000 Right, yeah. 0.84

00:09:24.000 A complete rebuke of the unselect committee of political hacks and thugs. 0.84

00:09:30.000 Now she, Cheney, in case you forgot who I was talking about, Cheney, folks.

00:09:34.000 I didn't want to put this in parentheses, they won't know who you're talking about.

00:09:38.000 It's okay, I'll put it in parentheses.

00:09:39.000 It's Cheney.

00:09:40.000 Now she, Cheney, can finally disappear into the depths of the political oblivion.

00:09:47.000 Where I am sure she will be much happier than she is right now.

00:09:52.000 Thank you, Wyoming!

00:09:56.000 I love it.

00:09:57.000 I absolutely love it.

00:09:59.000 She can return to the River Styx, folks, where she will be no doubt more content, a lot more content with the Hades played by James Woods.

00:10:10.000 That she is right now.

00:10:12.000 Thank you, America!

00:10:13.000 By the way, Abraham Lincoln, not a fan of you, Liz.

00:10:16.000 Not a fan of what you do.

00:10:18.000 I've talked to him.

00:10:20.000 No, 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.

00:10:29.000 We've called out Trump when he was wrong.

00:10:31.000 Of course, we've criticized Trump plenty of times.

00:10:34.000 And by the way, people act as though you have to be a complete lackey for Donald Trump, otherwise you're removed.

00:10:38.000 It's just not true.

00:10:40.000 You can comment below.

00:10:41.000 I 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.

00:10:48.000 The 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. 0.54

00:10:48.000 That's what we are. 0.54

00:10:58.000 Yeah, while draping the American flag over her shoulders and saying, I'm trying to save democracy. 0.98

00:11:02.000 No, you're actually not.

00:11:04.000 This is not what you're making it out to be.

00:11:05.000 And by the way, guess who agrees?

00:11:07.000 Almost everyone in Wyoming who voted.

00:11:09.000 I was going to say, you're running in Wyoming.

00:11:12.000 Where did you think you were running?

00:11:15.000 It's Wyoming.

00:11:17.000 Who did you think your constituents were?

00:11:22.000 There's a rumor she might run for president. 0.94

00:11:25.000 She's hinting at it right now.

00:11:26.000 Please do.

00:11:27.000 I hear it's easier to get votes that way.

00:11:31.000 In Wyoming alone, Matthew Shepard will vote 48,000 tickets.

00:11:35.000 I hope that Donald Trump decides to run just to take a giant steaming dump on Liz and then drops out of the race. 0.52

00:11:42.000 I guarantee you he will if she runs.

00:11:44.000 If that is his only reason for doing it, it would be hilarious.

00:11:46.000 Oh my gosh, unreal.

00:11:48.000 Imagine them on a debate stage.

00:11:49.000 Oh yeah.

00:11:51.000 Oh no! 0.99

00:11:51.000 Lesbian, oh no! 0.99

00:11:51.000 Does that word mean anything? 0.99

00:11:52.000 What does lesbian mean to you? 1.00

00:11:53.000 Dick, dick, that's my dad. 1.00

00:11:55.000 Well, you know, on January 6th, I'm gonna be like, Lesbian! Oh no! 1.00

00:11:58.000 Yeah.

00:11:59.000 Oh no! Does that word mean anything?

00:12:01.000 I don't know what else I'm supposed to say.

00:12:02.000 I'm just saying the word doesn't mean anything to me.

00:12:04.000 It means something to women. 1.00

00:12:04.000 What does lesbian mean to you? 1.00

00:12:06.000 Or dick, dick. That's my dad. I know. 1.00

00:12:09.000 Yeah.

00:12:10.000 So, uh, look, we also have the over-under.

00:12:13.000 You can comment on how soon she'll be working for The View as their newest Republican panelist.

00:12:20.000 But 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. 0.98

00:12:29.000 Today we face a threat America has never seen before.

00:12:33.000 Donald Trump.

00:12:34.000 President Trump.

00:12:36.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

00:12:44.000 President Trump.

00:12:46.000 Former President Trump.

00:12:47.000 Donald Trump.

00:12:48.000 Trump's legal team.

00:12:49.000 Donald Trump.

00:12:50.000 President Trump.

00:12:50.000 The threat posed by Donald Trump.

00:12:52.000 And Donald Trump.

00:12:54.000 Donald Trump.

00:12:54.000 Because Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.

00:13:00.000 Donald Trump cannot escape responsibility.

00:13:03.000 I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office.

00:13:09.000 Liz, you're fired. 0.99

00:13:11.000 Get out of here.

00:13:18.000 I know that it's time for things to close, things to close.

00:13:27.000 It almost makes me miss her.

00:13:33.000 Nope.

00:13:33.000 No.

00:13:34.000 Not really.

00:13:35.000 She was also wearing the same stuff in the last video. 0.72

00:13:39.000 Yeah, she also tried to boil the Trump kids pet rabbit. 1.00

00:13:41.000 Yes.

00:13:42.000 I just think she recorded the video many times.

00:13:46.000 This is the problem, it's the problem is when you're obsessed.

00:13:48.000 This is the problem is these people they say, I'm willing to stand up against, but then

00:13:52.000 that's their only their raison d'être.

00:13:54.000 Donald Trump, Donald Trump, she was obsessed and that didn't work.

00:13:56.000 If 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.

00:14:05.000 Not 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.

00:14:11.000 But when you toss your lot in with January 6th and you are the ambassador, the representative, with this sham trial on television.

00:14:19.000 You shouldn't be mad when Republicans don't elect you.

00:14:21.000 You deserve what you get.

00:14:22.000 And I think she's probably going to be.

00:14:24.000 Isn't that really one of the biggest problems, too, with politics?

00:14:26.000 It's just, I don't like this person, and that's your entire campaign?

00:14:30.000 Right.

00:14:30.000 That it's just comical?

00:14:31.000 Exactly.

00:14:32.000 Well, Adam Kinzinger took the coward's way out and retired.

00:14:35.000 I wish you would have run, Adam.

00:14:37.000 I wanted to see that. 1.00

00:14:38.000 Yeah, screw that guy. 0.79

00:14:39.000 By the way, it's a live show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. 0.87

00:14:42.000 Eastern.

00:14:44.000 No one has more enemies, I don't think, in the Republican movement than for someone who's a conservative.

00:14:49.000 A lot of people, not big fans of.

00:14:51.000 So the only way we get to sustain this is if you join MugClub. 0.77

00:14:53.000 Let us know.

00:14:54.000 MugClub, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:14:55.000 Eastern.

00:14:55.000 You can tune in.

00:14:56.000 We'll do a full other show today.

00:14:58.000 Another hour-long show.

00:14:59.000 It's almost a completely different show today.

00:15:00.000 10 a.m.

00:15:01.000 Eastern.

00:15:01.000 Notifications don't work.

00:15:02.000 Tune in.

00:15:02.000 Okay.

00:15:03.000 Let's get to the Department of Education.

00:15:05.000 All right.

00:15:06.000 I think we need to completely defund the federal Department of Education.

00:15:10.000 Yes.

00:15:11.000 Not 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.

00:15:17.000 But most of you, and I know I can hear especially a lot of mothers, like, ah, what am I gonna do?

00:15:22.000 I don't know, you see what homeschool people, God, you might have to be a parent.

00:15:24.000 Now, We don't need it.

00:15:27.000 We 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.

00:15:36.000 Let me set the stage here.

00:15:38.000 Your parents right now, if you're in my generation or younger, okay, so millennials, Gen Z, your

00:15:43.000 parents all went to school before there was a Department of Education, at least started

00:15:47.000 school before a federal Department of Education.

00:15:50.000 It's 1979 when it was signed into law.

00:15:53.000 Public schools existed well before 1979.

00:15:56.000 By the way, test scores, reading, math scores, they've either stagnated or fallen.

00:16:00.000 What does this mean?

00:16:01.000 This is something you need to understand.

00:16:03.000 How does that happen?

00:16:05.000 Schooling is largely funded by the states.

00:16:06.000 Before the federal Department of Education, it was almost entirely funded by the states

00:16:09.000 and the bulk of it is still coming from the states.

00:16:12.000 We do not need a federal Department of Education for you to have decent schools and it comes

00:16:17.000 with a lot of strings attached and a lot of union baggage that you cannot shed within

00:16:23.000 your state as effectively as you could if we did not have the federal Department of

00:16:28.000 We don't need the federal department of education.

00:16:31.000 It is unbelievably expensive and it's made schools worse.

00:16:36.000 Marley was dead to begin with.

00:16:37.000 Anything there?

00:16:38.000 You guys good?

00:16:39.000 Okay.

00:16:39.000 100% agree.

00:16:39.000 I gotcha.

00:16:40.000 Since 2000.

00:16:41.000 No child left behind.

00:16:42.000 Okay, everyone blamed Bush for that.

00:16:43.000 Didn't really work.

00:16:44.000 Common Core.

00:16:45.000 None of this is working.

00:16:46.000 No.

00:16:46.000 At a certain point, you have to take inventory and say, it's not working, so what do we need to do?

00:16:51.000 One side says, spend more money, more money, more money, more money, please.

00:16:54.000 I'm saying, no money.

00:16:56.000 Not more money, none!

00:16:58.000 And 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.

00:17:05.000 Exactly.

00:17:05.000 Yeah, so we'll just do that.

00:17:06.000 We'll keep it.

00:17:07.000 So 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.

00:17:18.000 So this is a theme today because I know that there are a lot of parents out there concerned, especially in the post-COVID world.

00:17:23.000 Yeah.

00:17:24.000 You know, because what are we going to do with the true heroes?

00:17:28.000 Those are nurses. 1.00

00:17:29.000 Yes, that's right.

00:17:30.000 They dance, not the good ones.

00:17:32.000 They tick-tock, nurses. 0.92

00:17:33.000 It's a verb.

00:17:34.000 They don't dance, they tick-tock.

00:17:35.000 Oh, tick-tock.

00:17:36.000 Make that body rock. 0.84

00:17:37.000 Exotic tick-tocking.

00:17:39.000 With dead people.

00:17:39.000 It's pronounced erotic.

00:17:41.000 Now, March 25th, this is the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the Minneapolis public school system.

00:17:52.000 What could go wrong in Minneapolis?

00:17:54.000 Here's part of the deal. 0.92

00:17:57.000 If 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. 0.77

00:18:03.000 Yes. 0.99

00:18:04.000 Racist. 0.87

00:18:04.000 Okay? 0.87

00:18:05.000 Yeah, because we've talked about it, people say this is racist, that's racist.

00:18:08.000 I think if you fire someone because of their race, call me old-fashioned, I think that's racist.

00:18:16.000 Yeah, I don't see the connection.

00:18:17.000 Stephen, you're wrong.

00:18:17.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:18:18.000 That's not how it works.

00:18:19.000 Well, you know what?

00:18:20.000 I agree to disagree.

00:18:22.000 I believe it's not racist.

00:18:24.000 Now I understand where you line up.

00:18:24.000 Okay.

00:18:26.000 Thanks for the air support.

00:18:28.000 Glad to see you, Matt.

00:18:30.000 Cavalry coming over the hill.

00:18:33.000 Friendly fire much? 1.00

00:18:34.000 Okay, so they're gonna fire white people first. 0.99

00:18:36.000 This is how they describe it. 0.99

00:18:37.000 If 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!

00:18:46.000 The next least senior teacher who is not a member of an underrepresented population.

00:18:46.000 Why do they say fire?

00:18:51.000 Okay, that means white, white, white, white, white, white, white. 0.65

00:18:55.000 Yeah, if a teacher's going to be fired, it's going to be a white guy. 0.53

00:18:55.000 Yes. 0.53

00:18:57.000 Go ahead.

00:18:58.000 And 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.

00:18:58.000 Every single person.

00:19:12.000 You will get rehired first for no reason. 1.00

00:19:14.000 Most of them go by seniority, which I think is stupid. 0.99

00:19:16.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:19:17.000 Maybe we should go by merit. 1.00

00:19:18.000 Maybe we should fire bad teachers when you have a budget cut and be like, hey, you suck. 1.00

00:19:21.000 Get out. 1.00

00:19:22.000 I don't care if you've been here a year or a decade.

00:19:24.000 You're a better teacher.

00:19:25.000 You get to stay.

00:19:26.000 Let me give you a little bit of a personal.

00:19:27.000 The best teacher I ever had, I don't know if she's still alive.

00:19:30.000 And I hope that she is if you're watching.

00:19:32.000 Mrs. Naidoo, fourth grade.

00:19:34.000 I'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.

00:19:43.000 And I started falling behind, where they thought, maybe this kid's retarded. 0.95

00:19:46.000 That still may be.

00:19:47.000 But what it really turned out is I couldn't do math and I couldn't do geography and history in French.

00:19:52.000 I can speak French, I can read and write French, but learning everything in French put me behind a little bit.

00:19:57.000 So they switched me midway through my fourth grade year.

00:19:59.000 And at this point they'd already done long division and I couldn't learn it because it was being taught in French. 0.84

00:20:05.000 And Mrs. Naidoo was an Indian teacher, Indian-Canadian teacher.

00:20:10.000 Heavy accent.

00:20:11.000 Stern.

00:20:11.000 People were afraid of her.

00:20:12.000 She was very strict.

00:20:13.000 She stayed after class until I learned long division and aced my test.

00:20:18.000 Nice.

00:20:19.000 A teacher's goal should be every student gets an A at the end of the year.

00:20:22.000 That should be the standard.

00:20:22.000 Yeah.

00:20:23.000 Standardize a test.

00:20:24.000 Every 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.

00:20:34.000 So, she was a minority, she was the best teacher!

00:20:37.000 Never 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. 0.56

00:20:50.000 This is when we didn't really think about it.

00:20:52.000 We 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.

00:20:57.000 And now it's come back!

00:20:58.000 We're more racist than ever!

00:20:59.000 Well, how did that happen?

00:21:00.000 And, of course, who's going to save the day?

00:21:02.000 The Minneapolis Teachers Union.

00:21:04.000 Minneapolis public schools have defended this agreement publicly, saying that it will, quote, remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination.

00:21:12.000 Ah!

00:21:14.000 This is like, you know, Ibram Kendi has talked about this.

00:21:16.000 He's the director of the Center for Anti-Racist Research. 0.99

00:21:18.000 It's, to undo previous racism, you need to do really racist shit moving forward. 0.99

00:21:22.000 Yes, I've seen his book in every airport. 0.99

00:21:25.000 Yes, yeah.

00:21:25.000 It's next to the Newsweek with Trump in prison.

00:21:28.000 Yes!

00:21:32.000 On 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.

00:21:38.000 Nothing.

00:21:39.000 Oh yeah.

00:21:39.000 Just a footnote.

00:21:40.000 Well, and it said Gordie Who?

00:21:42.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.97

00:21:44.000 Like the pig from the city?

00:21:45.000 No, played with three generations, Gordie Howe. 0.96

00:21:49.000 Look him up.

00:21:50.000 He played old.

00:21:51.000 Yeah, well I remember seeing the magazines, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali.

00:21:54.000 They won't tell you that he endorsed Ronald Reagan, campaigned for Orrin Hatch, and rejected All of his segregationist views later in life.

00:22:01.000 Once he died, they wanted to venerate him as the guy who dodged the draft.

00:22:04.000 There was a lot more to Muhammad Ali than that.

00:22:05.000 Anyway.

00:22:06.000 I met him and Ted Lindsey, not Muhammad Ali, but Gordie Howe.

00:22:08.000 Gordie Howe?

00:22:09.000 A Jets pizza.

00:22:11.000 Unbelievable guy.

00:22:12.000 My dad spent some time with him.

00:22:13.000 Super nice.

00:22:14.000 Down to earth.

00:22:15.000 Stayed in the community.

00:22:16.000 All right.

00:22:16.000 As opposed to Muhammad Ali, who left.

00:22:17.000 And I said, why did you leave for the suburbs? 0.93

00:22:18.000 He said, to get away from black people. 1.00

00:22:20.000 That's a quote. 0.99

00:22:21.000 Yeah, once he really started getting that CTE, he let a lot of stuff out of his mouth.

00:22:21.000 You can go read it.

00:22:27.000 Before that, he said, I was wrong about that.

00:22:28.000 I was wrong about, you know, calling everyone a house n-word, or trashing Joe Louis, trashing Joe Frazier.

00:22:34.000 He said, I was wrong about talking, you know, he was against race mixing, just to be clear.

00:22:38.000 He said, I was wrong about a lot of that, and door, store, and hatch.

00:22:40.000 Okay.

00:22:41.000 And Malcolm X said that too, and that ended well. 0.63

00:22:43.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:44.000 Something with our intelligence agencies, right?

00:22:47.000 I can't remember what that was.

00:22:48.000 They did something once he decided peace was the answer.

00:22:51.000 So, Kendi wrote this, how to be an anti-racist.

00:22:54.000 The only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination.

00:22:59.000 The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

00:23:02.000 The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

00:23:06.000 So, basically, the only way to fix bad stuff that's happened is doing more bad stuff.

00:23:12.000 The only way to fix racism and evil is more evil.

00:23:17.000 I kind of always thought that we were raised with this as kids, where, you know, you were supposed to be above it.

00:23:22.000 Absolutely.

00:23:22.000 Yeah.

00:23:23.000 But if you read that again he actually says to fix past you need present racism and to fix present you need future.

00:23:29.000 So essentially we'll have racism forever.

00:23:32.000 Exactly.

00:23:33.000 Is his thing.

00:23:33.000 It's not like racism enough to where it's like okay now the ledger is clear and we're even.

00:23:38.000 Let's start again.

00:23:38.000 It's like inception of racism.

00:23:41.000 If you plan on having future racism then what's the point of even discussing it because therefore there's no problem to fix.

00:23:46.000 There is no problem that's just the norm.

00:23:50.000 By the way.

00:23:50.000 Right?

00:23:53.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:23:53.000 What? 0.87

00:23:54.000 Boo! 0.83

00:23:56.000 Oh, boo! 1.00

00:23:57.000 Oh, Landler, you can keep watching this snoozefest.

00:24:00.000 I've had it.

00:24:00.000 I'm going to take the easy way out.

00:24:02.000 No, not before you drew me in first, Kordorf.

00:24:06.000 Murder-suicide it is! 1.00

00:24:11.000 Damn. 1.00

00:24:12.000 What? 1.00

00:24:13.000 I knew I should have gotten the Walther.

00:24:15.000 What kind of gun is that?

00:24:16.000 Well, it's a .22, and it's brand Gerald A. Oh, those only shoot blanks.

00:24:23.000 That's not fair.

00:24:23.000 Okay, come on now.

00:24:24.000 He has two kids.

00:24:25.000 That doesn't even make sense.

00:24:26.000 He has two kids.

00:24:27.000 Oh, yeah, I'm sure they're really his and not the pool boys.

00:24:32.000 I don't even have a pool.

00:24:34.000 He doesn't have a pool.

00:24:34.000 I don't have a pool.

00:24:35.000 Why's his van always in your driveway?

00:24:37.000 Ha ha ha!

00:24:39.000 Bang! 1.00

00:24:43.000 Walther Works every time.

00:24:46.000 I never liked him!

00:24:48.000 There you go.

00:24:49.000 Alright.

00:24:50.000 I don't know why we installed that balcony.

00:24:52.000 I mean, you really spent a lot.

00:24:54.000 Yeah.

00:24:56.000 It's baseline budgeting.

00:24:57.000 If I don't spend it, then I don't get it for myself next year.

00:25:00.000 I know.

00:25:01.000 Well, it's... It's a puppet, too.

00:25:04.000 I don't think he's dead.

00:25:05.000 By the way, while we're talking about this, teachers are the real heroes because they have to bring... Have you heard?

00:25:10.000 They have to bring some of their work home with them.

00:25:11.000 Oh, do they?

00:25:12.000 Yeah.

00:25:12.000 What?

00:25:13.000 And they have to buy pencils occasionally.

00:25:14.000 I know.

00:25:16.000 I don't know about you as a business owner, Gerald.

00:25:18.000 My work stops when I walk out of this office.

00:25:20.000 Oh yeah, never think about it again.

00:25:21.000 And by the way, Walther, official firearm sponsor of Lodderworth Crider Studios.

00:25:24.000 Show them that there, Gerald.

00:25:25.000 Right now their new firearm, the PDP, is unbelievable.

00:25:28.000 It has these new, they call them super terrain slides.

00:25:31.000 It just means it's really easy to grab.

00:25:32.000 It's really easy to rack the slide.

00:25:33.000 Go to waltherarms.com to shop online or use a dealer.

00:25:36.000 Look, all I ask Try the Walther.

00:25:39.000 Go to your local firearm range where you can responsibly try it.

00:25:42.000 Run a search on YouTube right now, if you're on YouTube.

00:25:44.000 Run a search.

00:25:45.000 Comment below.

00:25:46.000 Run a search on Google.

00:25:47.000 Bing.

00:25:49.000 Ask Jeeves.

00:25:49.000 I have no idea.

00:25:50.000 You won't find a bad review.

00:25:53.000 It's one of the best-kept secrets, because they don't have giant military contracts like some of the other big boys.

00:25:57.000 Well, and you can also aim left-handed and hit the target every time.

00:26:00.000 It's true.

00:26:01.000 Samba dexterous with Muppets.

00:26:02.000 We've had several friends buy them because of this show, no complaints.

00:26:05.000 Yeah, we've had a lot.

00:26:06.000 When we do head up to live shows, and I mention them all, the audience goes like, ah!

00:26:09.000 I'm like, oh yeah, put them away.

00:26:12.000 No, it's not like a lighter.

00:26:14.000 You don't need to be Yosemite Sam in here.

00:26:17.000 I always feel pretty protected.

00:26:18.000 Yeah.

00:26:19.000 Some 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.

00:26:19.000 Well, we have to.

00:26:26.000 So we're like, nah, not tonight.

00:26:28.000 Now!

00:26:29.000 Let's move on down with education.

00:26:31.000 It's a themed episode, like you get on some of those shows where it's like flashbacks, only we're covering this from stem to stern.

00:26:37.000 Ron DeSantis, the pimp, decided to also take some new initiatives for education.

00:26:43.000 And it is a problem.

00:26:45.000 We're not getting as many people going into teaching.

00:26:48.000 The left will tell you that we need to fix that with more money.

00:26:53.000 I don't know if you know this, and it's not going to fix anything.

00:26:55.000 So, Rhonda Santus, and I think he's really good at reverse engineering problems and trying to come

00:27:00.000 up with solutions. There are issues. I have my apprehensions about him in some ways,

00:27:06.000 but he is pretty good at saying, okay, how can we try and actually solve this issue?

00:27:10.000 And I think that is something that is sorely needed.

00:27:12.000 Solutions coming from the right as opposed to just saying, no, I don't like you.

00:27:15.000 So some new initiatives aimed at attracting new teachers in Florida.

00:27:20.000 And he's gone with an angle that makes a lot of sense.

00:27:23.000 Again, if you understand historically, you didn't always need a degree in teaching, you know.

00:27:26.000 No.

00:27:26.000 You have a degree in English.

00:27:27.000 My ex-girlfriend's mother was a teacher when I was in college and she had an English degree.

00:27:32.000 I said, you want to be a teacher?

00:27:33.000 She said, sure.

00:27:33.000 She was a fantastic teacher.

00:27:35.000 So his plan is actually involving recruiting veterans.

00:27:39.000 So like two birds with one stone.

00:27:43.000 No, it's not.

00:27:44.000 What is wrong today?

00:27:45.000 In addition to recruiting retired military veterans, we also want to include first responders,

00:27:52.000 law enforcement, EMTs, paramedics, firefighters who have their bachelor's degree to become

00:27:58.000 teachers and bring their leadership and wisdom into the classroom.

00:28:01.000 And what we will do, just like we do for veterans, we will do for the other first responders.

00:28:06.000 We will waive the exam fees for the state teacher certification exam.

00:28:13.000 And 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.

00:28:29.000 And so that'll be a $5,000 bonus for first responders who go in to those.

00:28:36.000 So replace the real heroes, public teachers, with non-heroes, veterans, and first responders?

00:28:41.000 You mean people that run towards danger?

00:28:45.000 And you can comment below, I'll get into the details of this, what you think about that.

00:28:48.000 Because the left is saying, you can't just do this to spring in veterans!

00:28:51.000 They're going to have PTSD!

00:28:52.000 They're going to mustard gas the whole classroom!

00:28:55.000 Here's what'll actually happen.

00:28:56.000 Okay, so let me read you some details from the program.

00:28:59.000 Military 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.

00:29:09.000 Yeah, that's an associate's degree, by the way.

00:29:10.000 That's two years.

00:29:11.000 And they get a teacher apprenticeship program, you know, a scholarship to help current high school teachers earn their masters.

00:29:17.000 So there's a lot going on here, by the way.

00:29:19.000 And this is also something we need to rethink how we approach teaching.

00:29:23.000 This is a very new concept that you have to have a degree in teaching so you can, you know, show a bunch of kids how to be lesbians. 1.00

00:29:29.000 It's not really the qualification that you need.

00:29:31.000 You just need to be someone who can impart wisdom.

00:29:35.000 So you have to pass the test.

00:29:38.000 So 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.

00:29:50.000 They give that person a mentor bonus so it's not like they're just turning them loose on a class.

00:29:54.000 They'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.

00:30:03.000 Right.

00:30:03.000 Why would anybody in the world be against this?

00:30:06.000 But I can see... Go ahead.

00:30:06.000 There is no reason.

00:30:08.000 I 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.

00:30:18.000 so that if they go against it, it is just completely obvious.

00:30:21.000 Well, I think the only people who might oppose it are maybe some sort of new

00:30:25.000 conservatives or libertarians who don't understand federalism and say,

00:30:28.000 I oppose increased spending. Well, this is the thing.

00:30:31.000 States should be able to increase spending on education if they want to, but I understand we now have

00:30:35.000 the problem of if Ron DeSantis is increasing spending on education, which he is to a very

00:30:40.000 large degree, combined with the bloated federal budget, it's a problem.

00:30:44.000 That's why we need to eliminate the Federal Department of Education. 1.00

00:30:46.000 I don't have a problem with states allocating funds.

00:30:48.000 They have the right to do that.

00:30:50.000 So of course his opponent... But can they come in with a crippling headache and press play on a DVD?

00:30:55.000 If they're a woman. 1.00

00:30:56.000 Okay.

00:30:57.000 His likely, speaking of which, his 2022 opponent, Nicky Freed, known by the common nomenclature. 0.93

00:31:06.000 Certain loser.

00:31:08.000 There's no way she stands a chance. 0.99

00:31:11.000 I wouldn't think so.

00:31:12.000 So she's the Liz Cheney.

00:31:14.000 She's the Liz Cheney of Liz Cheney's.

00:31:17.000 Basically.

00:31:17.000 Of Liz Cheney's, right.

00:31:18.000 I guess that's true.

00:31:19.000 Said, uh, let me be clear.

00:31:19.000 Oh my god.

00:31:21.000 We should not be lowering the bar for teachers in Florida.

00:31:24.000 There's a, there's a swipe at veterans.

00:31:26.000 Instead of paying teachers what they're worth and agreeing to stop politicizing their jobs.

00:31:30.000 It's not rocket science. 0.99

00:31:32.000 They always say this when they're about to say something that's really dumb. 0.95

00:31:35.000 It's not rocket science. 1.00

00:31:36.000 Are you about to say something that's really stupid? 1.00

00:31:36.000 Hold on a second. 1.00

00:31:39.000 Maybe it needs to be rocket science.

00:31:40.000 Yeah.

00:31:41.000 By the way, how are you teaching rocket scientists?

00:31:43.000 Teaching them about racial inequities?

00:31:45.000 Oh, thank God you guys are building our planes.

00:31:47.000 It's not rocket science.

00:31:48.000 We have a teacher shortage crisis because DeSantis has turned classrooms into battlegrounds to fight his culture wars and divide our states.

00:31:57.000 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. 0.55

00:31:57.000 Lie! 0.55

00:31:58.000 It's not true at all.

00:31:59.000 It's the opposite.

00:32:00.000 It's not true at all.

00:32:02.000 DeSantis increased teacher pay funding, in March, by the way, $250 million.

00:32:08.000 All 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.

00:32:16.000 All references are available at lotteriescrowder.com.

00:32:18.000 The pay for teachers in Florida increased from $40,000 to $47,000.

00:32:21.000 That makes Florida, that's the starting pay, to be clear.

00:32:24.000 Making Florida the ninth highest in the nation.

00:32:26.000 Starting pay.

00:32:28.000 You start your job at $47,000.

00:32:30.000 By the way, you don't have to work three months out of the year, and you get a lot of benefits.

00:32:33.000 Well, that's not a bad gig.

00:32:35.000 It's not a money thing.

00:32:37.000 People don't go into teaching for a lot of different reasons.

00:32:38.000 It's not just because of money.

00:32:41.000 Some of them do.

00:32:42.000 That's why they're complaining about the money.

00:32:45.000 That's the only reason some of them got in.

00:32:46.000 No, it's because this system is a bloated, failed system.

00:32:50.000 Why would you go work for a company that's going down?

00:32:52.000 Yeah.

00:32:52.000 Why would I throw my lot in with something that is failing?

00:32:54.000 Well, if people thought that way, we wouldn't have any federal employees.

00:32:56.000 Well, that's true.

00:32:57.000 Just a first day with a teacher.

00:32:59.000 I'm gonna be rich, I tell you.

00:33:01.000 Rich!

00:33:01.000 I'll just go do something else where I can have a chance to actually succeed.

00:33:05.000 Basically, it's an indoctrination factory.

00:33:06.000 And this is not a conspiracy theory.

00:33:08.000 Schools spend... Think about it as a parent.

00:33:11.000 You spend, what, 30 minutes with your kids in the morning before you send them off to school?

00:33:14.000 You get them back in the afternoon if you work.

00:33:14.000 An hour?

00:33:16.000 Maybe you get them back at 5 o'clock.

00:33:18.000 You spend a couple of hours before it's bedtime.

00:33:20.000 The school is spending two to three, maybe four times more time with your kids than you are as a parent.

00:33:25.000 Including bedtime if they're public school teachers.

00:33:27.000 Exactly.

00:33:30.000 They're not teaching them the things that they need to know.

00:33:33.000 You're not a fan of Drag Queen Story Hour 101?

00:33:36.000 Nope.

00:33:37.000 I'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.

00:33:47.000 But you can't throw PTSD at these people, that's completely bull.

00:33:50.000 Especially when you're teaching a generation of people, they claim they have PTSD because somebody misgendered an owl.

00:33:58.000 Or the purple penguin.

00:34:00.000 And by the way, here's something else too.

00:34:02.000 I'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.

00:34:08.000 The PTSD thing.

00:34:09.000 The left claims that they want mental health in this country.

00:34:12.000 The issue is you constantly politicize it.

00:34:15.000 Right?

00:34:15.000 There are plenty of people with PTSD who are entirely functioning individuals, and by the way, they shouldn't forfeit their right to a firearm.

00:34:22.000 There 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.

00:34:29.000 The left will say, we need better mental health care in this country.

00:34:32.000 By the way, veterans, this could be a problem with them teaching kids. 0.98

00:34:34.000 By the way, oh, you took some Zoloft at one point?

00:34:37.000 Well, why do you think that men don't want to get help? 1.00

00:34:37.000 You shouldn't be able to own a firearm. 1.00

00:34:41.000 Because of this.

00:34:42.000 Because of these kinds of attacks that are taking place right now.

00:34:45.000 And you're absolutely right.

00:34:46.000 This is a problem.

00:34:47.000 Shame and anger.

00:34:48.000 Nothing helps the mentally ill better than that. 0.99

00:34:50.000 Let's toss on top of that divorce laws where you forfeit your rights and everything becomes public record like Johnny Depp, right?

00:34:56.000 Does any guy look at that and say, I won't have to go through that?

00:34:59.000 And nobody wants a turd in their bed? 1.00

00:35:02.000 Well, if you knew the endgame was them finding out your wife did that, I mean, maybe you'd go through.

00:35:08.000 But other than that, no.

00:35:10.000 Well, here's the two birds with one stone thing, too.

00:35:12.000 Vets, former police officers, firefighters, arm them.

00:35:16.000 Get 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.

00:35:22.000 Solved a lot of problems today.

00:35:24.000 That's absurd.

00:35:24.000 What we should do is not arm them.

00:35:26.000 Then once there's an active shooter scenario, send in the people who are armed.

00:35:31.000 To stand there and wait?

00:35:31.000 Retroactively.

00:35:32.000 With shields?

00:35:33.000 Well, not stand there and wait.

00:35:34.000 It's to push away the parents that are trying to get in.

00:35:37.000 That's true.

00:35:37.000 Tackle them.

00:35:37.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:35:39.000 They watch Mystic River as a training manual.

00:35:43.000 So, alright.

00:35:45.000 Two people are going to understand that.

00:35:47.000 Well, I appreciated the reference.

00:35:48.000 It's pretty dark.

00:35:49.000 It's dark, but it's pretty accurate.

00:35:49.000 It's dark.

00:35:51.000 Yeah.

00:35:52.000 This is also something, by the way, like you mentioned, oh, they don't go in thinking they're going to be rich.

00:35:56.000 That's true.

00:35:57.000 But there are a lot of people who think that teaching is an easy path.

00:36:00.000 I 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.

00:36:11.000 There 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.

00:36:19.000 They say, okay, what job doesn't require intense qualifications or performance reviews?

00:36:24.000 I know, teaching!

00:36:25.000 And I get three months off.

00:36:27.000 So, let's get to this now.

00:36:28.000 The Teachers Union.

00:36:30.000 Look at their political donations.

00:36:30.000 Which is a problem.

00:36:32.000 We've done a whole segment on that.

00:36:33.000 Randy Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers.

00:36:38.000 AFT for short.

00:36:41.000 I'm just saying it because I don't want to have to say this every time.

00:36:43.000 And by the way, you're about to see a clip.

00:36:45.000 It is exactly what you expect the president of the American Federation of Teachers to look like.

00:36:51.000 Picture the broad in your mind right now.

00:36:53.000 Okay.

00:36:55.000 Yes.

00:36:56.000 So, appeared on Yahoo Finance.

00:36:59.000 Just grimace.

00:37:00.000 To right now bemoan the current teacher shortage in America, here's the clip.

00:37:05.000 What you have is, you have a higher number of retirements this year.

00:37:10.000 It's like age Paul McCartney circle wings years.

00:37:13.000 It's Will Ferrell playing Janet Reno.

00:37:15.000 You have fewer people going into the profession.

00:37:18.000 You have a hot labor market where teachers can get 20% more for the skills and knowledge they have teaching in non-teaching jobs.

00:37:28.000 You have all of the pandemic stress and strain, particularly that kids are coming in with greater needs because of two years of disruption.

00:37:39.000 And, 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.

00:37:50.000 And then you have all of the politics, the culture wars, the shaming and blaming, the banning of books, the censoring of curriculum.

00:38:00.000 So, you know, teachers are, you know, they wonder, and I'll give you an example.

00:38:05.000 So 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.

00:38:18.000 Ah, there you go.

00:38:19.000 By the way, she's going to be pardoned at Thanksgiving.

00:38:21.000 Here's the thing that teachers do.

00:38:24.000 They act as though they're the only ones.

00:38:27.000 They 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?

00:38:27.000 Okay?

00:38:32.000 No, no, no.

00:38:32.000 The only difference is you're the only ones who got two years teaching from home.

00:38:37.000 Right?

00:38:38.000 Let's take the short end of it.

00:38:38.000 Two years!

00:38:40.000 A year and a half at most places.

00:38:43.000 So I've had three semesters, okay?

00:38:45.000 No, everyone else had to go to work.

00:38:46.000 We never got to stop work.

00:38:47.000 Comment 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.

00:38:55.000 And does anyone actually buy this for a second, that this administration was- who didn't really acknowledge the pandemic?

00:39:01.000 Are you out of your trees-y?

00:39:04.000 By 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?

00:39:12.000 The white supremacists who, by the way, don't want her teaching that the Buffalo shooter was white.

00:39:17.000 Hey, didn't something happen in Milwaukee? 0.89

00:39:19.000 Can we teach the race of those people?

00:39:19.000 What about Waukesha?

00:39:21.000 What about the vast majority of terrorist attacks?

00:39:24.000 All throughout the globe.

00:39:25.000 Can we use that?

00:39:26.000 By the way, I call BS on that.

00:39:27.000 I really do. 1.00

00:39:28.000 This is like one of those things I would have voted for if you had a penis, right, that we covered the other day. 1.00

00:39:32.000 This didn't happen, right? 1.00

00:39:34.000 It was obvious this was a white supremacist shooter. 0.98

00:39:38.000 There was no doubt that this guy was racist. 0.99

00:39:41.000 Right off the bat. 0.96

00:39:41.000 Right. 0.96

00:39:42.000 No teacher would have a problem, unless they're an idiot, answering that question for their kids. 1.00

00:39:47.000 Well, she wouldn't have a problem answering a question. 1.00

00:39:50.000 It's the time.

00:39:51.000 Well, I just think the two-year break was great for mental health and teaching our young to socialize.

00:39:57.000 Yeah, 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.

00:40:03.000 Hey, I'm wondering, I'm not going to quote it, but what was the death rate from zero to 19 from COVID to date?

00:40:08.000 I don't even want to say it, because YouTube could label it misinformation.

00:40:11.000 And 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.

00:40:23.000 So let's go through the claims that are made. 0.99

00:40:24.000 Just in that video, it's a wave of just, I'm just awash with bullshit. 0.99

00:40:30.000 First claim. 1.00

00:40:31.000 That she makes.

00:40:32.000 Okay, and we'll play some other clips so you see it echoed.

00:40:35.000 This 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.

00:40:43.000 It really is a beautiful sham.

00:40:46.000 One 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.

00:40:55.000 This is the new cause du jour.

00:40:57.000 Here's another one talking It's very troubling time to be a teacher.

00:41:00.000 We are faced with Being asked to violate our own ethical position in that fact should be taught in our classrooms.

00:41:10.000 Tell me about your ethical position, Daria.

00:41:11.000 It's a face swap app, right?

00:41:13.000 And on the other side, we're being required to teach things that are factually inaccurate by omission.

00:41:21.000 So 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.

00:41:44.000 And the penalty for that is losing our teaching license.

00:41:47.000 Ah, okay, yes, because many people are losing their teaching licenses for being too liberal.

00:41:53.000 New Hampshire?

00:41:53.000 What, just watch Jaws?

00:41:54.000 They're like, I haven't seen a black mayor, Amity.

00:41:58.000 That's her claim.

00:41:59.000 Here's the truth.

00:42:00.000 Keep the school open.

00:42:02.000 Here's the truth.

00:42:03.000 Republican 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.

00:42:18.000 Let me give you a few examples.

00:42:19.000 We've done entire segments on this.

00:42:20.000 I'm sure you can hit a link in the description along with all the references.

00:42:23.000 In Oregon, schools pushed, I just forgot, I remember this term, it always makes me laugh before I go into a blind rage, ethnomathematics.

00:42:32.000 What, what, oh, oh, mathematics.

00:42:36.000 Ethno-mathematics.

00:42:40.000 Ethno-mathematics to undo white supremacy in math.

00:42:47.000 Yes, no, they're being fired.

00:42:49.000 They're being fired for 99.9% of their donations going to Democrats.

00:42:54.000 You're not being fired for being a blue dog moderate Democrat. 0.82

00:42:58.000 You're teaching ethno-mathematics. 1.00

00:43:02.000 It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life. 1.00

00:43:04.000 Shouldn't it be a beautiful thing that math is completely blind? 1.00

00:43:09.000 Yeah.

00:43:11.000 Largely because it's on a paper.

00:43:12.000 It has no eyes.

00:43:12.000 Can we just use calculators, please?

00:43:14.000 What?

00:43:16.000 I don't want to bring anything to a screeching halt.

00:43:19.000 Uh, what?

00:43:20.000 What is ethnomathematics?

00:43:20.000 Yeah.

00:43:22.000 It's about mathematics and something something something racism.

00:43:24.000 Yes, white supremacy.

00:43:26.000 So like white supremacy plus two equals doubly bad? 0.75

00:43:29.000 Equals give me more money.

00:43:30.000 Well Dave, paper is white and you do math on paper.

00:43:34.000 Well, that's why I use white pencil.

00:43:36.000 I don't know if I buy it though because you're technically dominating a white paper with a black sharpie.

00:43:38.000 So the point is it evens out.

00:43:40.000 I feel that way too.

00:43:41.000 In Decatur, Georgia, the district's equity plan encourages teachers to quote, normalize racial equity.

00:43:48.000 The list goes on and on and on and on.

00:43:49.000 If you have references that you can come, you can go and read or come to LettersCredit.com and read them.

00:43:54.000 We make them all publicly available.

00:43:55.000 So the lady on that clip, I just want to make this very clear.

00:43:58.000 The problem that they have with you is that you're teaching that systemic racism existed.

00:44:03.000 The problem isn't that you point out specific instances of racism and say... Well, hold on a second.

00:44:08.000 I need to correct you.

00:44:09.000 You said, of course, systemic racism existed.

00:44:11.000 What you mean is existing now in New Hampshire.

00:44:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:44:15.000 Right?

00:44:15.000 So just pointing that out and saying like, oh, it's no, it's still now.

00:44:17.000 All the laws that we have are racist and that's what's holding you back.

00:44:20.000 Not pointing out systems that maybe had some racist tendencies to begin with and now have been corrected.

00:44:25.000 Well I have to correct something because I did a change my mind.

00:44:27.000 I said there is no systemic racism.

00:44:29.000 Changed my mind.

00:44:31.000 There are systemically racist laws.

00:44:31.000 I was wrong.

00:44:33.000 Like what you just saw in Minneapolis.

00:44:34.000 Exactly. 0.86

00:44:34.000 Where they're going to fire white teachers. 0.86

00:44:36.000 I would say that's systemically racist.

00:44:38.000 Accessing them.

00:44:41.000 Yes.

00:44:41.000 But I thought we were supposed to pull down statues and pretend racism didn't happen.

00:44:45.000 I didn't know excess was a verb.

00:44:46.000 It didn't happen but we'll make it happen now.

00:44:48.000 Is that a verb?

00:44:49.000 Then is now.

00:44:50.000 Oh, now it makes no sense.

00:44:51.000 So, 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.

00:45:00.000 Sorry, not the laughing at that part. 0.99

00:45:03.000 Just take a look, it's on a cock, I'm reading Rainbow. 0.99

00:45:09.000 I can touch anything. 0.99

00:45:11.000 It's a magic school bus, just me and you.

00:45:14.000 I knew I should have stayed home today!

00:45:18.000 Look it, I'm making myself disappear in you.

00:45:23.000 There'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.

00:45:30.000 Happens far more often in public schools, sexual abuse of children.

00:45:33.000 Happens a lot.

00:45:34.000 Alright, here's another truth for you.

00:45:37.000 Okay, she talks about the shortage.

00:45:40.000 And we've discussed this before.

00:45:42.000 The shortage here, the teacher shortage, largely, and this is in the original article on Yahoo.

00:45:49.000 It's in liberal and West Coast states.

00:45:51.000 Now let me explain to you why that matters.

00:45:52.000 This is from that Yahoo article where you saw that original video of Randy Weingarten.

00:45:57.000 Bon Jovi.

00:45:57.000 Yes.

00:45:58.000 The states struggling to find teachers the most are mainly near the West Coast with the top five being California, Nevada, Washington, Arizona, and Hawaii.

00:46:07.000 So think about this for a second.

00:46:09.000 If we're talking, let's all, can we all acknowledge, of course, that public teachers lean left as a demographic, okay?

00:46:17.000 And I'm not just talking about the union that gives all of their money to Democrats.

00:46:20.000 No, it's fair, yeah. 0.99

00:46:21.000 But the vast majority of public school teachers Or liberal white bitches, okay. 1.00

00:46:26.000 Now, 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? 0.99

00:46:38.000 In a place like California?

00:46:39.000 In a school district in, let's say, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bakersfield, take your pick?

00:46:45.000 Or ultra-right Christian rural Oklahoma?

00:46:48.000 Yet, 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.

00:46:57.000 As a matter of fact, their curriculum is being encouraged to be more progressive.

00:47:02.000 And by that I mean racist.

00:47:04.000 So, this is the question.

00:47:06.000 We have a teacher shortage.

00:47:07.000 It shouldn't be happening in California.

00:47:09.000 It shouldn't be happening in Washington.

00:47:10.000 It shouldn't be happening in Hawaii.

00:47:12.000 Now, what's the solution here?

00:47:15.000 Let's find some common ground.

00:47:17.000 Do you remember the Fairness Doctrine?

00:47:18.000 I do.

00:47:18.000 OK.

00:47:19.000 So the Fairness Doctrine, it was something that was a while back, and I think what was happening, it was abolished in 87, I believe.

00:47:26.000 But they tried to bring it back with, you remember Air America, it was this failed left-wing AM radio.

00:47:32.000 This is what happened, the modern iteration of Fairness Doctrine.

00:47:35.000 It's been going on for a long time.

00:47:36.000 But 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. 0.99

00:47:44.000 Oh my god, you can't do that because you're kicking our asses! 0.97

00:47:47.000 So we need to enact a law where you have to provide exactly equal time on the news. 0.99

00:47:53.000 If you provide a conservative point of view, you have to provide a liberal point of view.

00:47:57.000 Now, 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.

00:48:04.000 But 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.

00:48:12.000 So that was the Fairness Doctrine.

00:48:14.000 It was absurd, of course, as it relates to broadcasting.

00:48:18.000 The federal government should have no say in what you broadcast, okay?

00:48:21.000 That should be left up to the individual broadcasting companies.

00:48:23.000 However, 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?

00:48:33.000 You want to teach ethno-mathematics?

00:48:35.000 Okay.

00:48:35.000 You also have to teach that the evil white Western European nations ended slavery and created the electricity and modern educational system that you enjoy.

00:48:44.000 That sounds fair.

00:48:45.000 Just give some equal time!

00:48:46.000 Yeah.

00:48:47.000 You want to teach that we have slavery here in this country?

00:48:49.000 Of course you can.

00:48:50.000 Of course you should.

00:48:51.000 It's a black dot.

00:48:53.000 You have to teach who sold those slaves.

00:48:55.000 And that they still are selling slaves.

00:48:58.000 How about that?

00:48:59.000 Are you saying teach facts?

00:49:01.000 I'm saying teach, even if you want to give opinion, give both sides of it.

00:49:05.000 So how about, is that something we could do?

00:49:06.000 A fairness doctrine for education?

00:49:08.000 Why should it apply to Sean Hannity's AM radio show and not to the people who spend eight hours a day with your kids?

00:49:14.000 Comment below.

00:49:14.000 Does that seem like something we can all be on board with?

00:49:16.000 I am.

00:49:17.000 I'd vote for you.

00:49:18.000 If you're going to teach Buffalo, teach Waukesha. 0.99

00:49:20.000 Also, while we're at it, teach the empirical.

00:49:22.000 Crime statistics.

00:49:23.000 Break them up by race. 0.72

00:49:25.000 Yeah.

00:49:26.000 Okay.

00:49:27.000 So here's another claim that they make, and this is, again, why we need to defund the Federal Department of Education.

00:49:35.000 And this is going to be rough, so I warn you guys, just don't let your rage get the better of you.

00:49:40.000 The 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.

00:49:50.000 After 16 years, Tracy Riggs is saying goodbye to the classroom.

00:49:54.000 This letter is what she turned in after school and a decision she said she had to make.

00:50:00.000 No circumstance should it be okay that our kids are getting sick.

00:50:05.000 In no circumstance should this be okay.

00:50:09.000 Did you get sick at your meth house? 1.00

00:50:11.000 You're a piece of... Please do! 1.00

00:50:12.000 walking away from the class only option. I have to ta

00:50:17.000 this point being immunoco not having support with t

00:50:23.000 the decisions, she says a at school, he had been te

00:50:29.000 day before, came to schoo came out, he's on the str

00:50:33.000 he was positive right aft line was drawn and the de

00:50:39.000 shouldn't have to be scar in this day and age.

00:50:44.000 I shouldn't be afraid because no one's supporting me right now.

00:50:50.000 This is the problem right here.

00:50:51.000 I shouldn't have to be scared?

00:50:53.000 Guess what?

00:50:53.000 We can't control your irrational fears.

00:50:56.000 Did you listen to that story?

00:50:59.000 Did you listen to that story?

00:51:00.000 The 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.

00:51:10.000 Which means that this is such a deadly pandemic for children, the kid didn't even know he had it!

00:51:15.000 And you're huddling under the bed, like it's where the wild things are.

00:51:19.000 For Chri- It's not my responsibility to make sure that you're not afraid.

00:51:24.000 You're an adult!

00:51:26.000 And here's the truth, objectively.

00:51:28.000 That's just opinion.

00:51:29.000 Objectively, 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.

00:51:43.000 Yeah, Gerald.

00:51:44.000 I love it.

00:51:44.000 So she's saying that she's immunocompromised, and that's a real thing.

00:51:47.000 I understand that.

00:51:48.000 But you're working in a school being immunocompromised.

00:51:51.000 It doesn't take COVID-19 for you to have a problem.

00:51:53.000 Yeah, it's like working in the preemie ward and you find babies gross.

00:51:56.000 Yeah, it's like, ah, I need to probably remove myself from the situation.

00:51:59.000 But by the way, unless we jumped into the DeLorean and went to the future, that video was actually shot last September.

00:52:05.000 If 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.

00:52:14.000 Yeah, you can four-boost yourself into testing positive like Jill Biden.

00:52:17.000 Or 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.

00:52:30.000 There is no safe space.

00:52:31.000 I'm sorry, that's not how the world works.

00:52:33.000 Hey, by the way, you could just get COVID like everyone did.

00:52:36.000 Hey, guys, careful how you talk to the real heroes.

00:52:40.000 I'm sorry.

00:52:40.000 Yeah, I shouldn't have said that.

00:52:41.000 I hope you don't get COVID.

00:52:44.000 No.

00:52:44.000 Because chances are there's no kid at school that did the exact same thing.

00:52:48.000 Right.

00:52:48.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:52:49.000 Just go somewhere else.

00:52:50.000 No one handed you an apple that the entire classroom had licked.

00:52:52.000 Licked it.

00:52:53.000 Yes. 0.99

00:52:53.000 Look, if you want to argue if white privilege is real or not, you just saw it. 0.99

00:52:57.000 Yeah.

00:52:58.000 No, I think you're absolutely right.

00:53:00.000 Not in the way you expect it, right, but still, that is at least a first world privilege.

00:53:07.000 Well, it's white female privilege for sure. 1.00

00:53:09.000 I shouldn't have to go to work scared.

00:53:12.000 Oh, 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.

00:53:21.000 Who could die when they go to work.

00:53:23.000 Oh, I'm the real hero, I don't want to go, I shouldn't, look, I shouldn't ever have to be scared.

00:53:27.000 I want tenure.

00:53:28.000 So here's my solution. 0.98

00:53:29.000 You're getting shot at. 0.58

00:53:30.000 You're like, I think I feel a chill.

00:53:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:53:35.000 They're not coughing because of a virus.

00:53:37.000 They're coughing because they're inhaling gunpowder and the sweet smell of mustard gas.

00:53:40.000 We need to find Private Ryan.

00:53:42.000 He's got a cold.

00:53:43.000 Yes.

00:53:44.000 Patient zero.

00:53:45.000 Just walk up to the porch to deliver the news.

00:53:50.000 Here's his nasal afrin.

00:53:51.000 My God.

00:53:53.000 Don't send him here.

00:53:55.000 Don't send him back.

00:53:58.000 I have chores to do!

00:53:59.000 Is he wearing a mask?

00:54:05.000 Tom Hanks at the end, instead of shooting his colt for it, shooting his .45 at a tank, he's just putting on a mask.

00:54:11.000 He needs his mask! 0.98

00:54:12.000 Burn this! 0.99

00:54:14.000 Okay. 0.98

00:54:15.000 You know what, he was a teacher.

00:54:16.000 Yeah, he was.

00:54:20.000 He was a real hero when he was at home. 1.00

00:54:21.000 When he went to, you know, he was just a pussy. 1.00

00:54:26.000 I shouldn't have to be scared, guys! 1.00

00:54:28.000 They're shooting!

00:54:29.000 They're shooting at us, guys!

00:54:30.000 Back home, I'm a hero!

00:54:32.000 Out here, I'm just a pansy, guys!

00:54:34.000 Okay.

00:54:36.000 Here's a solution.

00:54:37.000 This one's easy.

00:54:38.000 Fire teachers who won't fall in line with reasonable precautions, similar to what every other industry has had to take.

00:54:46.000 Why do we allow this bubble to exist of public school teachers? 1.00

00:54:51.000 Where 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.

00:55:01.000 Oh my gosh, we can't expect them to take work home.

00:55:04.000 Everybody else does all of those things!

00:55:08.000 It's like, guys, are you making less than the national average?

00:55:11.000 No, we're making more.

00:55:12.000 Oh, is your job performance better than the national average for people?

00:55:15.000 No, it's really bad.

00:55:15.000 People talk about it.

00:55:16.000 They throw money at us constantly and we still do a worse job.

00:55:20.000 You are snippy today, Gerald.

00:55:21.000 I like it.

00:55:23.000 This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

00:55:24.000 The public education system and teachers that go out there and do crappy jobs.

00:55:28.000 There's some good teachers, that's fine. 0.99

00:55:29.000 The system that you're in absolutely sucks and needs to be dismantled down to the studs. 0.98

00:55:35.000 Completely gone. 0.99

00:55:37.000 I'm tired of teachers complaining and then doing stuff like this.

00:55:41.000 And by the way, Excess the hell out of them.

00:55:43.000 I'll use your term just to make sure that you guys understand.

00:55:46.000 The reason that we don't fire them is because of teachers unions and tenure.

00:55:51.000 Tenure is a crappy policy that should be ended.

00:55:54.000 Sorry.

00:55:54.000 Yep.

00:55:54.000 No, I think you're absolutely right.

00:55:56.000 Which brings us to... That's good.

00:55:57.000 You're foreshadowing.

00:55:58.000 Oh, there we go.

00:55:59.000 Good.

00:55:59.000 Good for you, Mr. Steinbeck.

00:56:00.000 Sorry about that.

00:56:02.000 It's another claim that they're making.

00:56:04.000 That teachers need higher wages and they'll make a verifiably false claim because your instinct is to, oh, teachers aren't paid enough.

00:56:11.000 You're wrong.

00:56:13.000 They say that pay has not gone up enough and they actually lie about it.

00:56:16.000 Here's another person.

00:56:19.000 That's a weird way to phrase it.

00:56:22.000 Your fears are not real.

00:56:24.000 That's a weird way to phrase it.

00:56:27.000 Their salaries have fallen compared to workers with similar levels of education and experience.

00:56:31.000 Your fears are not real.

00:56:32.000 It's a phenomenon researchers call the teacher pay gap.

00:56:35.000 And it's grown from about 3% in the mid-90s to a record high of almost 19% in 2017.

00:56:42.000 What we saw was a lot of teachers being laid off during the recession across the country.

00:56:48.000 And in many places, those funds have never been reinstituted or upped.

00:56:52.000 So 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.

00:57:03.000 Well thanks for the expert advice, Skinny Drew Carey.

00:57:06.000 I love how they say, their fears are grounded in reality.

00:57:09.000 Like you know someone had a talk with them beforehand.

00:57:13.000 Someone's like, come on now, this isn't reality.

00:57:15.000 It's grounded in reality!

00:57:16.000 I'm not going to do a voiceover that says just that!

00:57:18.000 These are grounded in reality.

00:57:20.000 Just say like, their fears about pay.

00:57:22.000 This is someone who obviously knows what the counter-argument is about to be.

00:57:26.000 And by the way, put on your mouth guards so this tin can I'm about to kick doesn't hit you in the teeth because here comes the truth!

00:57:33.000 When prorated to an annual salary taking into account all the benefits, teachers make very decent pay.

00:57:41.000 And by the way, if you're watching right now and you make about average pay here in the United States, teachers make more than you.

00:57:46.000 Significantly more than you.

00:57:47.000 Not saying they're rich.

00:57:48.000 They're not Scrooge McDuck.

00:57:49.000 They make good money.

00:57:50.000 So, let's look at what their actual salary is.

00:57:52.000 The average salary for a teacher right now.

00:57:54.000 Average salary.

00:57:55.000 Okay, we just gave you starting pay in Florida.

00:57:57.000 Starting pay plus benefits $47,000.

00:57:59.000 Average salary for a teacher right now in the United States is $65,000.

00:58:04.000 $6590 is what I have here.

00:58:05.000 Let's compare that to United States non-teacher national average.

00:58:10.000 Okay, now that's just salary to salary.

00:58:14.000 That's an actual teacher salary.

00:58:15.000 We haven't paraded anything yet.

00:58:16.000 Nothing.

00:58:17.000 Average United States teacher works 180 days a year.

00:58:20.000 Compared to non-teachers, remember how I talked about that?

00:58:23.000 There's the rest of the country, and then public teachers, 180 days a year?

00:58:28.000 To everyone else, 240 days a year.

00:58:30.000 It's not even close.

00:58:32.000 They're making more money for far less work.

00:58:35.000 But some of them have to buy pencil cases! 0.99

00:58:36.000 I don't give a shit! 0.99

00:58:41.000 Take some of the extra $7,000 that you're making for the, what, 80 less days per, 60 less days per year. 0.99

00:58:48.000 I'm sure you can find something somewhere for your felt caterpillar on your desk.

00:58:52.000 Isn't it a write-off?

00:58:53.000 Yes!

00:58:53.000 Yes, it is.

00:58:54.000 By the way, in your summer job, you can probably make, I don't know, the $75 you spend.

00:58:58.000 Ah!

00:58:59.000 I would have to work two jobs!

00:59:00.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:59:00.000 No, we're not suggesting that you work two jobs.

00:59:02.000 We're suggesting that when your job stops for two months, you work a job.

00:59:06.000 You're still only working one job.

00:59:10.000 Or don't.

00:59:11.000 And don't complain. 0.99

00:59:12.000 And just take your $65,000 a year and shut up! 0.98

00:59:16.000 I'd rather you say thank you. 0.99

00:59:18.000 I just wouldn't.

00:59:20.000 Maybe you just steal some pencils on break.

00:59:23.000 Maybe a couple of sharpeners?

00:59:24.000 Go to a bunch of hotels?

00:59:26.000 Just take pens off desks?

00:59:27.000 Well, today you'd take iPads, so it'd be a nice little side hustle.

00:59:30.000 You can comment if you, like, do you actually believe this?

00:59:32.000 Have you actually believed that teachers are not being paid?

00:59:35.000 So 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.

00:59:48.000 Wow.

00:59:50.000 $94,000 a year.

00:59:51.000 If 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.

00:59:57.000 And 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.

01:00:06.000 Dang! 0.99

01:00:09.000 No one goes into teaching for the money.

01:00:11.000 Hey, let me ask you this.

01:00:12.000 If 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?

01:00:22.000 Because that's an issue that we run into with people going into teaching.

01:00:25.000 Not all, some do go in for the money.

01:00:28.000 And some do go in for the benefits.

01:00:30.000 And for, not just that, but most importantly, the lack of pressure.

01:00:34.000 Yeah, stability too.

01:00:35.000 I 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.

01:00:35.000 Yes.

01:00:44.000 Like, this is a pretty good deal.

01:00:46.000 Yes.

01:00:46.000 For a lot of people.

01:00:47.000 And by the way, in that Texas thing, 102 was the top, 60 was the bottom.

01:00:50.000 60,000 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.

01:00:56.000 The average wage, yeah.

01:00:58.000 Significantly above.

01:00:59.000 Crazy.

01:01:00.000 Oh, only 60,000, and I get, what do I get?

01:01:01.000 I get July, and I get August, and December, okay.

01:01:04.000 You voted for the inflation.

01:01:06.000 Yeah, well, that's another that little chart that they showed that is based on reality Here's the truth.

01:01:11.000 Okay truth number two.

01:01:13.000 No, 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?

01:01:24.000 They 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?

01:01:37.000 You know what I mean, when they go on the chalkboard and it's this thing?

01:01:40.000 Oh no.

01:01:40.000 Oh yeah, and it just erases everything?

01:01:42.000 Yes, exactly.

01:01:43.000 She's writing the equation on the wall and it's gone by the time she puts the chalk down.

01:01:47.000 So 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.

01:01:55.000 If you're watching live, you can't.

01:01:56.000 It's bad.

01:01:57.000 Hit the like button, by the way, because this number is going to surprise you.

01:02:01.000 So hit the like button now.

01:02:03.000 Double it.

01:02:03.000 Take a pause.

01:02:04.000 Since 2000, they said, which is based in reality, teacher pay has gone...

01:02:10.000 Since 2000, spending has increased by 678%.

01:02:15.000 Well, that looks like a line that goes up.

01:02:18.000 Where is the money going?

01:02:19.000 Well, that's a good question.

01:02:21.000 Let's check into the unions.

01:02:22.000 By the way, states like California, in I believe that same period of time, they've also increased spending by $128 billion.

01:02:28.000 New York, $65 billion.

01:02:30.000 So, lots and lots of money federally, and then of course from the state.

01:02:34.000 Teacher pay is going down, budget's going down.

01:02:36.000 No, that's not really true.

01:02:37.000 Now, it's not all going to the teachers.

01:02:39.000 Because 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. 0.87

01:02:51.000 Go ahead, you were about to say something there, Gerald?

01:02:52.000 No?

01:02:53.000 Okay.

01:02:53.000 No, no, I'm sorry.

01:02:54.000 I thought you were!

01:02:55.000 No, 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.

01:03:01.000 I'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.

01:03:11.000 It goes down.

01:03:12.000 So we're spending more money and getting less for our money.

01:03:14.000 When 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.

01:03:28.000 I will give no credence to the argument that teachers are the real heroes and they're underpaid.

01:03:32.000 Now, if you're a good teacher and there are some fantastic teachers, I think you deserve to be paid much more.

01:03:37.000 Exactly.

01:03:38.000 I think you should be able to make six figures if you're an amazing teacher.

01:03:40.000 Well, there already are.

01:03:41.000 At least in Texas.

01:03:43.000 Well, you absolutely should be able to.

01:03:44.000 No, I think it would be great.

01:03:46.000 How 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.

01:03:52.000 Right.

01:03:53.000 You don't want to get into your class.

01:03:54.000 So let me go through.

01:03:55.000 What do we have here?

01:03:56.000 The claims it's teachers felt unsafe because of COVID. 0.97

01:03:58.000 Okay, well, that's complete bullcrap. 0.95

01:03:59.000 We know that. 0.94

01:03:59.000 They said that they're not allowed to teach their social agenda. 0.94

01:04:02.000 Of course, they actually are allowed to teach their social agenda.

01:04:04.000 They say that teachers' wages aren't going up enough.

01:04:06.000 That's complete bullcrap, and they're saying that the amount of spending on education isn't enough.

01:04:10.000 Okay, we know that's not true.

01:04:12.000 Let'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.

01:04:20.000 The 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.

01:04:31.000 Now, 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.

01:04:38.000 I have 25 students.

01:04:40.000 Around 30.

01:04:40.000 34 children.

01:04:42.000 Over 30 kids.

01:04:43.000 33.

01:04:43.000 34.

01:04:43.000 38.

01:04:44.000 Was that a kid?

01:04:46.000 Must be an apprentice.

01:04:47.000 Schools have roughly 15 to 30 percent more students than the rest of the state.

01:04:53.000 Large classes lead to chaotic learning environments and overstressed students and teachers.

01:04:58.000 By the way, did they just say it was 20-something students?

01:05:01.000 Yeah, one of them was like... For crying out loud, that was not large for my class where I went and I was in public schools in Canada.

01:05:08.000 Not long ago, it was well into the 30s.

01:05:09.000 I was surprised.

01:05:10.000 They were like, oh, we have to teach.

01:05:11.000 We have 22 kids in it.

01:05:14.000 That's like a little house in the prairie schoolhouse.

01:05:17.000 That's not really that severe.

01:05:18.000 No, and the girl leaning against the locker, where was that filmed?

01:05:21.000 The Beverly Hills High?

01:05:22.000 Yes, exactly.

01:05:23.000 No one has ever sat like that in a high school.

01:05:26.000 You get trampled.

01:05:28.000 That's just negative attention all around.

01:05:30.000 And they're like, I have these many students.

01:05:32.000 Yeah, 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?

01:05:41.000 Good, that's the important... Now we're asking the right question, because here's the truth.

01:05:45.000 And John Stossel actually did a segment on this a while back.

01:05:49.000 Okay, it's false.

01:05:50.000 Okay, the truth is they're wrong.

01:05:52.000 It's not the most important metric.

01:05:53.000 It's not even that important of a metric, because we look at it in a bubble where we look at public schools and we go, oh

01:06:01.000 the smaller classes in public schools do better than the larger classes in public schools, but they

01:06:04.000 still suck because it's all public schools. So you have to compare it to non-public schools

01:06:08.000 and there was a study done specifically, I believe it was in New York, we

01:06:12.000 It's from the Heritage Foundation.

01:06:15.000 Catholic schools especially outperformed public schools.

01:06:19.000 And they had much larger class sizes.

01:06:22.000 They outperformed them by a significant amount of metrics that they met.

01:06:27.000 Particularly like math.

01:06:28.000 And by the way, black students in Catholic schools did better in math than black students in smaller class sizes in public schools. 0.90

01:06:35.000 So this is actually a quote from that study.

01:06:37.000 Catholic schooling in Washington, D.C.

01:06:39.000 had a greater effect on students than decreasing class size.

01:06:42.000 They did it with 10 more kids on average in the classroom.

01:06:45.000 And by the way, 52% of the kids in those schools were not even Catholic.

01:06:49.000 So I know what you're hearing.

01:06:50.000 You're going like, Catholic school?

01:06:51.000 I'm not Catholic.

01:06:52.000 But if I were in New York City, I would consider putting my kid in a Catholic school.

01:06:55.000 The Catholic schools did something right.

01:06:56.000 They were far more effective for inner-city children.

01:07:00.000 You want to help? 1.00

01:07:01.000 Instead 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. 1.00

01:07:12.000 So this is Washington, D.C. 1.00

01:07:12.000 Right. 1.00

01:07:14.000 is where they got that from.

01:07:15.000 And by the way, guess who spends just about the most in the country?

01:07:19.000 I think it's in the top five per pupil?

01:07:21.000 Yeah.

01:07:21.000 On public schools?

01:07:22.000 Washington, D.C.

01:07:23.000 Technically, they're not a state.

01:07:23.000 I don't know.

01:07:24.000 Well, I don't think there's anything crazy about a statistic what they're going for.

01:07:28.000 If 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.

01:07:36.000 I mean, you and I have talked about this.

01:07:38.000 I didn't learn in the same way that other kids did.

01:07:41.000 Right.

01:07:41.000 So when I learned about audio video and I had a teacher that actually took time to like show me everything with editing, A+.

01:07:47.000 Right.

01:07:47.000 But it was something that I had interest in and that wasn't the other teacher's fault, but it was something, oh, I like this.

01:07:52.000 It was the system's fault.

01:07:53.000 Right.

01:07:54.000 Yeah.

01:07:54.000 And 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.

01:08:03.000 Yeah.

01:08:04.000 It's I do feel it's kind of few and far between at this point.

01:08:07.000 You're absolutely right.

01:08:07.000 That's right, and here's a big reason why.

01:08:09.000 You didn't not learn correctly.

01:08:11.000 You learned, and this is the big problem that nobody wants to talk about, you learned as a boy learns.

01:08:17.000 And 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.

01:08:26.000 The public education system, I didn't go through public education, I did, but that's not why I lisped.

01:08:31.000 It was just, my mouth got dry.

01:08:32.000 I thought you needed to speak.

01:08:34.000 The 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. 0.96

01:08:45.000 Study after study after study shows that little boys don't learn sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher.

01:08:51.000 It's why, look, this is one thing that people used to say when you were kids, that girls are smarter. 0.72

01:08:54.000 No, boys are smarter.

01:08:55.000 The truth, here's the truth, okay?

01:08:57.000 Girls do better in school, absolutely. 1.00

01:09:00.000 They do better in school, particularly grade school, high school.

01:09:02.000 Boys, young men, blow them away on the SATs. 0.82

01:09:05.000 Why is that?

01:09:06.000 Because now they have an individual tutor, they can study at their own pace, they can learn in the appropriate way that they learn.

01:09:13.000 Public education is designed for young girls, and even then it's not very good.

01:09:18.000 Particularly 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.

01:09:33.000 And you see that gap close?

01:09:34.000 Particularly with young boys and men because we all know that boys don't learn by sitting with their hands folded.

01:09:40.000 That's why boys like gym and they like shop.

01:09:42.000 And I liked media studies where we got to cut together videos.

01:09:45.000 That was my favorite class.

01:09:46.000 I didn't want to sit there and listen to some guy teach history.

01:09:49.000 Have you tried to learn Canadian history?

01:09:52.000 No, nobody would like it.

01:09:53.000 It's the worst!

01:09:54.000 Snow.

01:09:54.000 It is so boring.

01:09:56.000 You know how here in the States you had a Revolutionary War?

01:09:58.000 Yeah.

01:09:59.000 Remember, that's kind of a big deal.

01:10:00.000 You know what they did to you in Canada?

01:10:01.000 We said, alright.

01:10:03.000 And we put the Queen on our money! 0.99

01:10:05.000 You could have joined forces with us.

01:10:06.000 Well, I had that, automotive, and art.

01:10:08.000 And I loved all three of them.

01:10:09.000 Those were the ones that were very, you know, hands-on.

01:10:12.000 I'm showing you how this works.

01:10:14.000 Everything is not for every kid.

01:10:15.000 I'm not saying that they shouldn't necessarily learn the basics.

01:10:19.000 They should.

01:10:20.000 But it goes beyond that to where it's like, look, I'm not going to comprehend algebra.

01:10:24.000 I never will.

01:10:25.000 Stop trying to make me.

01:10:26.000 Once you throw in letters, I'm like, this is not math.

01:10:30.000 I'm not dyslexic. 0.99

01:10:31.000 I just don't like learning this from an angry lesbian. 1.00

01:10:33.000 No, you're yelling at me. 0.99

01:10:35.000 Yes.

01:10:37.000 You know what the Catholic school also did?

01:10:38.000 They set expectations and they spent the entire time telling them that they could do it.

01:10:42.000 That you are not a victim unless you're an altar boy.

01:10:44.000 You were not a victim.

01:10:45.000 You were absolutely able to go forward and solve these problems.

01:10:48.000 And if they don't, they hit you with a ruler.

01:10:50.000 They give them incentive there too.

01:10:51.000 Yeah, they were still a little abusive when I was there, but it was still more verbal.

01:10:55.000 You deserved it.

01:10:57.000 No, he's talking about private Catholic schools like Washington DC.

01:10:59.000 No, when I was like real young I went, but not when I was in high school.

01:11:03.000 Well, I went to public school in Quebec, which was Catholic school.

01:11:05.000 You guys do the math, because it was a state religion there, so that's also a problem, First Amendment.

01:11:08.000 Okay, let me give you a solution here, and this one's really, really simple.

01:11:11.000 I've never heard an effective counter-argument against it.

01:11:13.000 If you have one, comment below.

01:11:15.000 I talked with Kerry Lake, future governor of Arizona, most likely, about this.

01:11:19.000 So it's a very simple solution. And this is really the most important solution,

01:11:23.000 student vouchers. You fund the student, not the school.

01:11:26.000 Right now, you've seen the increase in spending 670-something percent since 2000. You've seen the

01:11:33.000 increase in teacher pay. It's not working.

01:11:36.000 You've seen the test results go down. So we have a system that says you live in this district,

01:11:40.000 you go to this school, and the teacher gets this amount of money no matter what.

01:11:43.000 That system, it can't work. It couldn't work anywhere else in business. Let's just change

01:11:47.000 that. Let's average out how much money we spend right now on public education. Particularly,

01:11:52.000 let's do it on a state-by-state basis because we need to defund the Department of Education,

01:11:55.000 the Federal Department of Education. You say, let me round it, $15,000 per student. Okay,

01:11:59.000 let's say that's what it is. Instead of saying, we put $15,000 into this municipal school and

01:12:04.000 you have no choice, hey, you've got a $15,000 credit that you can take to any school you want.

01:12:10.000 I can't understand why we wouldn't do that with the exception of one reason, the unbelievable influence of the Teachers Union Lobby.

01:12:21.000 What's going on right now?

01:12:22.000 CNN is covering this right now.

01:12:23.000 The teachers.

01:12:24.000 Let's see what they... Teachers and bus driver shortages. 0.99

01:12:27.000 Well, you know what, that's the DUIs.

01:12:28.000 wise. Let's see what they say.

01:12:29.000 Teachers talk about low pay. You've heard them talk about going out in stress.

01:12:33.000 I love doing this show live.

01:12:34.000 The bus drivers across the country. Connecticut starting 1,000 bus drivers down. Georgia starting

01:12:39.000 200 bus drivers down. In St. Louis, they're giving money to families for...

01:12:43.000 Right!

01:12:43.000 gas, they're giving money to older students for MetroCards.

01:12:47.000 In places like Alaska, they're only serving a third of the students for now.

01:12:50.000 So really scrambling here.

01:12:51.000 That's Alaska. 0.92

01:12:52.000 Everyone is scrambling and coming up with their own kind of, yeah, their own ways of

01:12:55.000 trying to fix it in the short term.

01:12:56.000 It's good to see you, Ali.

01:12:57.000 It's been in chaos for years now.

01:12:58.000 Yeah, I just add it to the list.

01:12:59.000 Thank you.

01:13:00.000 Well, let's talk about this.

01:13:01.000 That was the most I don't like you other woman. 1.00

01:13:03.000 Right.

01:13:04.000 Yes.

01:13:06.000 Just go. 0.98

01:13:06.000 Hey, silly glasses! 0.98

01:13:07.000 Let's hear his expertise. 0.99

01:13:08.000 Jack Ruby?

01:13:09.000 Let's see what he goes through.

01:13:11.000 Let's see if he uses the things that we just addressed.

01:13:13.000 said to CNN that you had 1,300 vacancies for teachers. What does that number

01:13:18.000 translate to? Let's see what he goes to. Let's see if he uses the things that we just

01:13:22.000 addressed. Low teacher pay. Classroom size. Okay, thank you for having me and thank you

01:13:27.000 for doing this story.

01:13:28.000 This is critical for our children.

01:13:31.000 The 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.

01:13:46.000 As 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.

01:13:56.000 Ron DeSantis came up with a solution, what's yours?

01:13:59.000 I hear you bitching, what's the solution? 1.00

01:14:01.000 came up with a solution. What's yours. What's the solution.

01:14:04.000 Teachers selling their prep adding an extra workload. So it's just really forcing us to find ways to provide a support

01:14:13.000 system for our our students.

01:14:16.000 We just had a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that... What do you got? 0.92

01:14:20.000 to hell in our office. 0.98

01:14:21.000 It's really the pipeline and how do we continue to get more students out of the higher ed

01:14:27.000 institutions to go into the classroom, to go into education because we...

01:14:32.000 What is...

01:14:33.000 I have not heard a single solution yet.

01:14:36.000 We just had a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that...

01:14:38.000 What do you got?

01:14:39.000 What do you got, Jesus?

01:14:41.000 And what he said is we're at the doorstep of a crisis.

01:14:45.000 And I was wondering, in your perspective, would you say you're at the doorstep of a crisis, or are you already there?

01:14:51.000 Is there flaming poop?

01:14:52.000 I believe we're there.

01:14:54.000 You know, here in Nevada, in Southern Nevada, we need 2,000 teachers just to keep up with attrition.

01:15:01.000 And our higher ed institutions here in Nevada, I've produced 900.

01:15:04.000 This is why I fell asleep in class all the time.

01:15:08.000 A fully staffed classroom since 1994.

01:15:11.000 Wow.

01:15:14.000 That's the thing I think I want to get to.

01:15:16.000 What about private schools?

01:15:17.000 What about charter schools?

01:15:19.000 What about those schools in your area?

01:15:20.000 Are they able to staff the schools?

01:15:24.000 Is it teacher pay?

01:15:27.000 Let's see.

01:15:28.000 I think it's a combination.

01:15:29.000 I think our teachers did an amazing job.

01:15:34.000 But not showing up for two years. 1.00

01:15:35.000 Bullshit! 1.00

01:15:35.000 You closed! 1.00

01:15:36.000 They were in Vegas?

01:15:36.000 went through COVID, you know, business is closed. Our educators flipped.

01:15:40.000 Bullshit! You closed! 1.00

01:15:42.000 Construction to really provide all my You're from Vegas?

01:15:45.000 We were not trained for. So in a matter of a weekend, our educators did amazing work. Not perfect, but did the best

01:15:53.000 they could and spent two years

01:15:54.000 They had two years!

01:15:56.000 rhetoric, I think is the conversation we need to have about this profession.

01:16:01.000 When we really look at the working conditions, we are addressing some things that have a great relationship and partnership with our teachers union.

01:16:08.000 Okay, so he just did COVID.

01:16:09.000 We've already gone through it.

01:16:10.000 COVID. 0.99

01:16:10.000 That's complete bullcrap. 0.99

01:16:11.000 There's a disparity from what you had to do, what we had to do, versus what teachers did. 0.99

01:16:14.000 They had it easier than absolutely anybody.

01:16:16.000 Let's see if he gets to teach or pay.

01:16:17.000 There you go.

01:16:18.000 Oh, bonuses!

01:16:18.000 raise it at the end also as well for retention.

01:16:22.000 And use some of the federal dollars to give some retention bonuses.

01:16:25.000 Very, very innovative and strategic thinking here.

01:16:28.000 But we have to be able to raise more.

01:16:30.000 Well, here's the thing.

01:16:31.000 He says retention bonuses because he can't fire the bad teachers.

01:16:33.000 Let's just give retention bonuses on top.

01:16:35.000 So they need more money.

01:16:35.000 So they can still pay the bad teachers more than you make on average in the United States.

01:16:39.000 But then we need more money for the good teachers.

01:16:40.000 How about you get rid of the bad teachers, period.

01:16:42.000 Then you don't need so many teachers.

01:16:44.000 And now we need to address class size.

01:16:47.000 We need to address... CLASS SIZE!

01:16:48.000 Oh my god!

01:16:49.000 We just went through this!

01:16:51.000 This is how predictable the left's playbook is.

01:16:53.000 Please, right now, if you... Share the show, if you can.

01:16:56.000 Sharing is caring.

01:16:57.000 But, go check the references at loudearthcrowder.com.

01:17:00.000 We make them publicly available.

01:17:01.000 I will go through right now the exact claims that we went through.

01:17:04.000 Let me just rattle them off.

01:17:05.000 We had teachers aren't allowed to teach their values in the classroom, right?

01:17:07.000 They're being strangled.

01:17:08.000 Okay.

01:17:09.000 We had teacher pay hasn't gone up enough.

01:17:11.000 We had classroom sizes are too large.

01:17:13.000 And we had that teachers are afraid because of COVID that they weren't treated fairly.

01:17:16.000 This guy just used all of them.

01:17:18.000 Every single one has been rebutted.

01:17:21.000 Now, you may want to rebut a rebuttal, but he's just starting at the first branch.

01:17:25.000 He's not even two steps in.

01:17:27.000 This is how lazy the left is. 1.00

01:17:28.000 This is how dumb they think you are. 1.00

01:17:31.000 No one's going to sit there and ask him, oh, what do you mean? 0.99

01:17:33.000 No, teacher pay has gone up a lot.

01:17:35.000 Public education has gone up by 678%.

01:17:36.000 Somebody in the edit bay right now, guys, look up, I want to see what is the average teacher salary in Nevada.

01:17:48.000 If you can drill down to Clark County, I don't know if that stat's available.

01:17:51.000 I want to know what they're getting paid.

01:17:52.000 By the way, we have some history with Clark County.

01:17:53.000 By the way, Clark County, guess what?

01:17:55.000 That's where all the casinos are.

01:17:56.000 If you're telling me you can't make enough money off of taxes on casinos to fund your schools, I don't want to hear it.

01:18:04.000 Yeah, they didn't close their casinos.

01:18:05.000 Just close the tribal casinos.

01:18:07.000 Yeah, there's blow-your-brains-out-at-the-table money there.

01:18:11.000 Right, there really is.

01:18:11.000 It's the one place where nothing... I knew some people who got COVID and quarantined, hand to God, at the Bellagio.

01:18:22.000 So they can go play craps at night.

01:18:24.000 Also, 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.

01:18:35.000 Yeah.

01:18:35.000 Yeah, you don't worry about COVID in Vegas.

01:18:37.000 No, you don't.

01:18:38.000 And that was one of the cleanest things happening in that casino.

01:18:41.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:18:43.000 I mean, that's the thing with Vegas.

01:18:44.000 I mean, it's supposed to be what happens in Vegas.

01:18:46.000 That's not true either.

01:18:47.000 Not like they need to extradite you.

01:18:49.000 Dave, by the way, you were at the Orleans.

01:18:52.000 Yeah, well, public education show.

01:18:54.000 I mean, still, though.

01:18:56.000 Yeah, let's, before we leave, get the Clark County or get the Nevada average pay. 0.96

01:19:00.000 Or we can do it behind the paywall if we need to.

01:19:01.000 I 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.

01:19:06.000 We spent an hour going through this piece by piece, point by point, and then CNN Does a five, whatever, ten minute segment.

01:19:13.000 There's no one there, there's no one sitting there who's going to say, hold on a second, teacher pay has gone up.

01:19:17.000 There'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.

01:19:25.000 No one's going to sit there and say, well, hold on a second, you said that businesses shut down, but you didn't.

01:19:28.000 That's actually not really true.

01:19:30.000 Businesses were shut down for a far shorter amount of time.

01:19:33.000 And by the way, they were not being entirely subsidized by the federal government doing everything through Zoom for two years.

01:19:40.000 No one's going to say that.

01:19:41.000 They're going to say, oh yeah, we absolutely need more money.

01:19:43.000 Oh, because you're the true heroes.

01:19:45.000 They're not going to address the fact that Governor DeSantis just, he said there's a shortage.

01:19:48.000 Governor DeSantis just created a new pipeline.

01:19:50.000 You may not like it because you don't want veterans to find work, but guess what?

01:19:54.000 At least it's something.

01:19:55.000 It's a start and it's killing two birds with one stone.

01:19:57.000 They will never address the reality.

01:19:59.000 These are such tired talking points.

01:20:02.000 Yeah.

01:20:03.000 That anyone who uses them at this point either is completely lazy and uninformed and assumes you are the same or is lying to you.

01:20:10.000 I don't know that guy, so I won't assume he's lying, but I know that he's wrong.

01:20:14.000 Do we have the teacher pay?

01:20:16.000 Yeah, this is from Glassdoor.

01:20:17.000 This is 1,100 salaries.

01:20:19.000 Jeez!

01:20:20.000 68,000.

01:20:20.000 That's 69,000.

01:20:21.000 In Clark County?

01:20:24.000 Yeah, Clark County.

01:20:25.000 That's the median salary.

01:20:27.000 69,000!

01:20:27.000 Based on 1,100 salaries that people input.

01:20:30.000 So that's not even the average.

01:20:31.000 That's the median.

01:20:33.000 From what I'm seeing.

01:20:34.000 I can't see the chart there, but that would typically be... It ranges from $50,000 to $101,000.

01:20:39.000 Oh.

01:20:40.000 So, the lowest, meaning when you start teaching, $50,000, that's your start pay.

01:20:45.000 That's your start pay in Clark County.

01:20:49.000 Start paying!

01:20:49.000 There's a lot of good places to squat there, too.

01:20:52.000 Yes.

01:20:53.000 Oh my gosh.

01:20:54.000 Really, if you just get a place at Circus Circus, you can live for free.

01:20:57.000 Yes, exactly.

01:20:57.000 Just make sure you're ready for the metal detectors, but they're easy to beat.

01:21:01.000 Start is $45,000.

01:21:02.000 That'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.

01:21:12.000 $50,000 to start.

01:21:16.000 You know what you have to have?

01:21:17.000 You have to have a four-year degree.

01:21:19.000 You can get that online right now, right?

01:21:21.000 So this is not like you have to be a rocket scientist.

01:21:23.000 I hate to use that again, but this is not what we're saying.

01:21:25.000 You have to have a four-year degree.

01:21:25.000 You can get it online without even taking classes.

01:21:28.000 That's true as well.

01:21:28.000 I'm an ordained minister.

01:21:29.000 Me too.

01:21:30.000 I've done three weddings.

01:21:31.000 Then you have to pass a subject-specific exam.

01:21:35.000 That's all we're talking about, and you get $50,000 a year to do that.

01:21:39.000 It's the self-important bull— Look, does anyone here believe that the most qualified people to teach are people who studied teaching in college?

01:21:48.000 Is that what you actually believe, or do you know people?

01:21:51.000 Have you known people throughout your lives who are good teachers?

01:21:54.000 I had a tutor— I never cracked open a math book my senior year.

01:21:57.000 It was a senior year exam in Quebec, around Montreal, where we grew up, the South Shore School Board.

01:22:04.000 And, uh, our district.

01:22:06.000 And everyone failed.

01:22:07.000 It was something like 70-something percent failed this government exam.

01:22:11.000 And I passed!

01:22:11.000 I was, like, the top five in my class!

01:22:13.000 And I only had, like, a 75 percent.

01:22:15.000 I didn't do that well.

01:22:16.000 I never opened a math textbook because I had an awful teacher.

01:22:19.000 Nice guy.

01:22:20.000 Guy named Mr. Lovell.

01:22:21.000 Was a nice man.

01:22:22.000 A very, very nice man.

01:22:23.000 I liked his company very much.

01:22:25.000 But I had him my senior year.

01:22:26.000 I had him my junior year.

01:22:28.000 My brother had him his senior year.

01:22:29.000 My brother had him his junior year.

01:22:31.000 And guess what?

01:22:32.000 So did Johnny Boy.

01:22:33.000 He had him before my brother.

01:22:34.000 This guy taught all of the math classes for your last two years of high school, and no one passed.

01:22:40.000 He was the worst teacher that I've ever seen in my life.

01:22:43.000 Everyone failed, and when it came time to the government exam at the end of the year, a good year.

01:22:48.000 A good year!

01:22:49.000 would be 60-something percent of his graduating class actually passed the standardized test.

01:22:55.000 So my senior year, after having him for an entire year, I said, you know what?

01:22:59.000 I'm not even going to open my math textbook because I'm not going to learn anything.

01:23:01.000 He sits around.

01:23:02.000 He would literally sit around doing a dance.

01:23:03.000 He would give you homework.

01:23:04.000 He'd come and he'd correct the homework, and he was usually wrong.

01:23:07.000 And so I said, I'm going to go to a tutor.

01:23:08.000 This guy named Mr. Peters.

01:23:09.000 He was from Trinidad and Tobago.

01:23:11.000 He used to talk about cricket.

01:23:13.000 Most boring sport I can possibly imagine.

01:23:15.000 But he wasn't a teacher.

01:23:17.000 I did eight sessions with him.

01:23:18.000 Eight one-hour sessions, and I passed my math exam.

01:23:20.000 Wow.

01:23:21.000 An entire year!

01:23:22.000 Really?

01:23:23.000 Two years.

01:23:23.000 with Mr. Lovell. Nice man, I want to be clear. I don't want people to think that he was just not

01:23:27.000 a good teacher. Nice man. Two years, eight one-hour sessions, and I guarantee you that's

01:23:31.000 not atypical. I guarantee you plenty of you right now spent time with a tutor and you actually

01:23:36.000 learned something. You don't need a degree in teaching. You just need to be passionate about

01:23:41.000 actually imparting wisdom into children. And guess what? A lot of these teachers aren't. A lot of

01:23:46.000 these teachers are not. We want to assume that they are, but they are not. They see your children

01:23:51.000 as an opportunity to indoctrinate. Many of them, not all of them, are miserable pricks. 1.00

01:23:58.000 And they have no business being around your kids. 1.00

01:24:01.000 Personally and professionally, they suck at their job. 0.99

01:24:04.000 So let's just do this. 0.99

01:24:05.000 Fund the student, not the schools.

01:24:07.000 We've been doing this the same way for a very long time.

01:24:10.000 It hasn't worked.

01:24:11.000 Nothing's improved.

01:24:12.000 They're saying, more money, please, more money, please, more money, please.

01:24:15.000 I've just given you four different potential solutions, all of which have been proposed by either a governor or some type of a senator.

01:24:20.000 So these are not things that are completely off the reservations.

01:24:22.000 These are proposals that have been made for a very long time.

01:24:24.000 Let's try it differently.

01:24:26.000 How about that? 0.99

01:24:27.000 Just try it differently instead of being a fool or a synonym for that is a public school teacher. 0.96

01:24:34.000 We're going to go to Mug Club here and talk about the games diss track of Eminem. 0.96

01:24:37.000 Ooh, that's going to be fun.

01:24:38.000 Can't talk about that here.
