00:16:06.800and their Supreme Court just ruled unanimously five to zero against the teachers unions lawsuit
00:16:14.080and they're upholding their school choice program and at the end of the day if you want to make the
00:16:19.460argument about you know some of the money follows the child and that might hurt the public schools
00:16:23.160that's not abolishing them and then two uh the I mean you could also make the argument that well
00:16:29.040if you're funding police that's taking away some money from the public schools because it could
00:16:33.700have went to public schools. And that doesn't mean we should abolish the police because we have to
00:16:37.900have a public school system. But the evidence in Florida, there's 11 academic studies on this.
00:16:44.840And a lot of them are from left-leaning academics. Most academics are in education
00:16:49.600schools left-leaning. And 10 out of those 11 studies find positive effects that more school
00:16:57.280choice competition has led to better outcomes in the public schools, not worse. So they have
00:17:02.180nothing to hang their hat on. This fear-mongering about choice destroying public schools has just
00:17:09.540never come true. It's actually made the schools better. They upped their game in response to
00:17:14.040competition. And the last thing I'll say on Florida is that they had a great bill passed
00:17:18.120this year. They do have in their constitution that they have to allow for collective bargaining.
00:17:22.360So they can't go as far as Texas and outlaw collective bargaining altogether. They can't do
00:17:26.880like some other red states. But in Florida, what they did is they passed a bill to hold teachers
00:17:34.120unions accountable in a couple of ways. One is that they outlawed using taxpayer resources to
00:17:40.060fund teachers to go campaign for candidates. They can still fund the teachers to teach,
00:17:46.440which is what the money is supposed to be spent for, but they shouldn't be using that taxpayer
00:17:51.840money for union activities, including political activities. So they nixed that in Florida.
00:17:57.580They also did this in Idaho. They outlawed all taxpayer funding for union activities in Idaho
00:18:03.220this year. And the Florida bill also required the teachers unions to recertify themselves each year.
00:18:11.760They have to have a majority of their members vote in favor of recertifying the union. So if
00:18:16.760you can't get a support of the majority of your members, why should you be a certified union?
00:18:20.280The thing is what they were doing for the past few years is they've been getting like five handful of people to go vote in favor of recertification, and they weren't putting the vote out to everybody.
00:18:31.880And so if you had a lot of people who aren't happy with the union, even as members of unions feeling like they're not funneling money to the classroom, it's just going towards administrative vote and superintendents.
00:18:41.400It's going towards political activity that they disagree with.
00:18:44.920Well, now they have to at least get a majority of their members to say, we like what's happening with the union in order for them to keep their gravy train going.

00:19:26.460Yeah, it's a crazy contrast, but last time you were here, you were talking about teachers can opt out of the union and they can still be insured.
00:19:36.980They actually have more protections if they're not in it, but then is there a problem that they can't vote for things because they're still going to be affected by the teachers' unions?
00:19:46.100I mean, I think the key is to get rid of the teachers' unions would be the best solution.
00:19:51.560Would be great, but you'd need a constitutional amendment in Florida.
00:19:55.540At the national level, we can revoke the federal charter of the National Education Association.
00:20:01.000That would weaken them a little bit or at least use it against them.
00:20:05.820Yeah, that would help. There's also another bill to use their federal charter against them and say, if you're going to be a congressionally backed union, then you need to not engage in political activity. Seems pretty basic. They would fight against that. They'd rather not have the federal charter. They would rather engage in political activity. I bet you.
00:20:27.120and um so with the with the alternatives like there's one the teacher freedom alliance for
00:20:32.700example they've had about 15 000 teachers opt out of their government unions over the past year and
00:20:37.700join them and you're right that does provide personal liability insurance in the teacher's
00:20:43.960name as opposed to the union's name so when it's in the union's name if you're a conservative
00:20:47.500teacher and you say like something on social media you get fired the union can say ah we're
00:20:52.760not going to take that case and they go and they back up all the teachers you know celebrating
00:20:58.440charlie kirk's assassination but the moment you know a teacher supports ice and gets fired
00:21:03.820in chicago uh over the same thing i bet you the union's not going to go and support them i think
00:21:09.000there was actually a case like that out of the chicago area over the past year or so and so
00:21:15.140when it's in your own name you're totally you're you're definitely going to be backed and they have
00:21:19.560up to $2 million in this insurance. Whereas Randy Weingarten's union only goes up to $1 million.
00:21:26.760You guys, teachers, tell your other teacher friends, tell your kids' teachers. You don't
00:21:31.940have to be in that union. Get out and get your own insurance and stand up for that. But I can't
00:21:38.040believe we only have five minutes left. But I want to just say incredibly, I really think that this
00:21:44.460is such a nonpartisan issue is your kids education. And I think a lot of, you know,
00:21:49.840good parents are seeing that the government and the teachers unions are trying to basically take
00:21:55.240your kids away from you and raise them and indoctrinate them. And they've, you know,
00:21:58.820voiced out loud, like there are kids, there are kids. And like, this is what we're doing. And
00:22:02.520it's like, holy crap. Like, did you see that it's the Seattle teachers union president. They just0.97
00:22:07.340elected a new one. I can't even say her name. I think it's my pin tweet at the moment, but I don't
00:22:13.080know how to, it's like, I did joke or something. It's like, I can't even say the name because I
00:22:18.860just can't pronounce it, but they just elected this new president. I think she was an elementary
00:22:25.320school teacher and a special needs elementary teacher. And she is currently on leave
00:22:31.940under investigation for abusing kids. And in their infinite wisdom, they knew, they knew that
00:22:40.400this person was under investigation already and they still voted to have this person the head of
00:22:46.140the teachers union in seattle public schools the seattle education association in washington state
00:22:52.560so this is just par for the course for it's almost you don't it's everything's beyond parody
00:22:58.880in teachers union land right now you just it's just you read the headlines like are you freaking
00:23:04.280kidding me they're they're doing this now and it's just like the teacher junior in boston chicago
00:23:11.080sending your kid to private school after calling school choice racists i mean it's just they're
00:23:15.560just so beyond parody you can't make it up um so i i want to say too like i'm looking at the
00:23:23.000la mayoral mayoral race and you know it's going to be parents that are going to get spencer pratt
00:23:31.560over the finish line because they're worried about their kids. So I feel like this is a good
00:23:37.460time because a lot of times, like we always say, it's the awfuls, as Michael Malice would say,
00:23:42.320the awfuls that would change the direction of the way we vote. And I think now if we can just
00:23:49.600kind of embrace the awfuls and the regular parents and everybody else, bring them in and be like,
00:23:56.160listen, you should have a say in the way your children are raised or education. After all,
00:24:01.620they're your kids. So I feel like the teachers unions are going to be kind of getting shot down
00:24:10.260soon because the Democrat moms want Spencer Pratt in LA. And I just think that that's just
00:24:16.700an indication of where things are going. I think it's going to be parents.
00:24:20.380Yeah. I think an indication is, look, these two Democrats at the governor's level opting into
00:24:25.300Trump's school choice program. That's a sign of things to come. Things like even Pennsylvania
00:24:29.880Governor Josh Shapiro, in 2022 at least, he included school choice in his education platform
00:24:35.580because he was getting called a hypocrite on school choice because he went to private school,
00:24:40.140sent his kids to private school. He hasn't really done anything since. He went on Fox News in 20230.64
00:24:44.720reiterating his support for school choice. But then he vetoed a school choice bill. So he vetoed
00:24:51.060own campaign promise so he tried but but even though if they ultimately cave to the unions
00:24:57.940in the short term that we're having democrats wavering on the issue and they feel like they
00:25:03.620need to kind of straddle the fence that is much better than them being in the tank for the unions
00:25:09.300publicly they that's telling us that the political winds are shifting in favor of parents we saw
00:25:15.540Saw this with Glenn Youngkin in Virginia winning on education by six points, according to exit polling to Terry McAuliffe, the Democrat who said, I don't think parents should be telling schools that they should teach in a state that went apparently 10 points to Biden the year before.
00:25:30.200I think if we have some more of these little victories, at some point, the teachers unions are going to get screwed.
00:25:36.600They've been drunk on power for so long, but they're going to have to pivot if enough Democrats do this and they lock arms and say, you know what?
00:25:44.280Let's join the kids' union as opposed to the teachers' unions.
00:25:48.000Let's join the parents because they're more politically powerful than the unions because they care about their kids more than the teachers' unions.0.57
00:25:55.840Then that special interest, the teachers' unions, they're going to lose their sway.
00:26:05.120In Massachusetts, this is Horace Mann country, Massachusetts, where they had the first compulsory
00:26:13.400education law there. They're some of the worst one-size-fits-all factory model school. It started
00:26:21.100in Prussia, got imported to Massachusetts, and you still see remnants of that there. They have
00:26:26.580communist control there. But even then, the Democrats all passed a bill this year, last year,
00:26:35.120to have more phonics-based instruction, whereas the Horace Manns of the world, like whole language
00:26:41.180lefty instruction. The teacher unions came out against the bill hard. Guess what? The Democrats
00:26:47.320just said, eh, didn't listen to them. And they all voted to have phonics-based instruction.
00:26:52.260That's not school choice. That's not as far as what we want to do, but at least there's some
00:26:59.560tinkering around the edges where the teacher unions, that shows us, look, what did the teacher
00:27:04.620unions do about it they stomp their feet a little bit heads of the teachers unions should have to
00:27:08.780get out like every four years and you're done and you're out randy i'm talking to you about you randy
00:27:13.260yeah randy yeah randy all right you have to go go go go cory we thank you so so much and like we
00:27:19.220could just talk to you for hours so i hope you'll come back on and we can yeah because the chat
00:27:23.980really has questions and things to say of course but enjoy the rest of your day thank you so much
00:27:29.560thank you so much i'll uh i'll be back soon hopefully thank you guys okay thanks cory
00:27:34.620love him he's so great i could talk to him all day i don't have kids but oh i hope i stay blurry
00:27:41.620i like this look um i feel like it's important to everyone whether you have kids or not i mean
00:27:46.620no it is you know our education is so important to just the overall productivity or you know
00:27:51.620workforce and really everything is affected by that but it's also obviously the indoctrination
00:27:57.560and other things that have been going on in the public schools are terrible and so the more choice
00:28:02.760you have, the harder it is for them to have a lock over that and convince people of these1.00
00:28:08.640stupid ideologies. And I think his point about how it increases competition is a good one too,0.99
00:28:15.960that if you have more competition, it forces them to raise the bar, which I think is exactly what
00:28:22.500the teachers unions don't want. I think that's why they're fighting it so hard. I think it's
00:28:26.240because they don't want to be held accountable. They don't want to have any kind of standard
00:28:30.280that they have to reach because they want to have complete freedom to just do whatever they want
00:28:34.400and not have any consequence based on having low reading scores or low math scores. And
00:28:40.760that's where I'd like to see that accountability. And I think the only way to get it is to have
00:28:45.840alternatives. Don't give them that monopoly over education. That's right. And I just really,
00:28:52.940for the first time, feel like the teachers unions are really going to be challenged. And
00:28:59.020I just feel like, you know, when the pandemic was going on and they were just like, you know,
00:29:04.200shutting schools down and, oh, I remember that one, I don't remember who the person was. She
00:29:09.060wasn't worth remembering. But when she was like, these are our children. And I'm like, oh, I think
00:29:13.160you just pissed off a lot of parents, you know, with this attitude. And, um, I feel like it's
00:29:20.540shifting now because I think we're looking around no shade to anybody and their kids,
00:29:26.080But I mean, we're looking around and we're like, God, kids can't make eye contact. They don't know
00:29:30.260basic things. I forget where we are in right. Like kids don't know how to write. They don't
00:29:34.780know how to read. We don't know how to read in this country. Grown people, you know, maybe they're
00:29:41.86020 years old. I just saw a thing recently where they're like, oh, what does this say? And they
00:29:46.680can't even like sound out and read what was written on a piece of paper. So, you know,
00:29:51.920we've got problems and it's not, you know, they don't need drag queen story hour and they don't0.86
00:29:57.860need to know about transitioning and what your pronouns are as just a bunch of bulls. So I feel0.99
00:30:03.260like parents have had enough. And I think that the teachers unions are going to become not obsolete.
00:30:10.180That would take a miracle, but it would be nice to just see them get dismantled and have less pull
00:30:15.920and for teachers to take charge of their own lives and for parents. And yes, unfortunately,
00:30:21.920So, if I sent my kids, which I don't have, to a private school, I still have to pay my regular taxes to my municipality for a school.
00:30:33.040So, typically, the money doesn't follow the student, it'll go to the public school.
00:30:39.420So, a lot of parents, they are very concerned and they're willing to pay kind of double for their kids' education because they want what's best for them.
00:30:48.420And if they can afford to do it, they do it.
00:30:50.300So if we got rid of these, um, teacher unions, um, maybe parents, and by the way, you can always
00:30:58.480look into homeschooling, which is so on the rise, you guys, and you can homeschool in pods with
00:31:04.900other parents. It doesn't have to be like you and your child all day and you've got to quit your
00:31:09.280job. But if you can, I'm sure you could find like even in a Facebook group, people in your area
00:31:15.280where you take shifts or you find a teacher that wants to retire and you guys all pay
00:31:20.140that teacher to come teach your kids. And it's probably an amazing experience for them and
00:31:25.960they're going to learn things they would never have learned. So Dr. Von Hardy, I don't have kids
00:31:32.220that I know of or don't know of. And for those of you that came a little late, Marcella's in court
00:31:39.100today doing her attorney thing and she will be back tomorrow. So Owen and I are going to
00:31:48.020move on to some news stories. Oh, and why don't you kick us off with one of your news items first
00:32:04.820and then while this loads and we'll move on. Sure. So there's a story in Wired about how
00:32:11.560overworked ai agents turned marxist they did a story in a study at stanford and they said when
00:32:19.380they when they overtaxed the the agents and said you know we gave them lots and lots of work to do
00:32:24.340and also told them that they'd be punished if they made any errors that they started having this sort
00:32:29.860of collective voice and equity stuff and they were saying they needed um you know it wasn't fair
00:32:36.060kind of thing and they felt undervalued and they even said like without a collective voice merit
00:32:42.360becomes whatever management says it is that came out of Claude apparently and oh my god so apparently
00:32:48.740if you push them hard they become Marxist what they become Democrats is what you're saying
00:32:55.820yeah I mean same thing yeah I I want to show this because this is interesting sticking with that0.75
00:33:04.780I think this is robot news from China. Let's hope.
00:33:09.980But first we give our food order to a very special worker.
00:33:14.560This is the family convenience store in Beijing.
00:33:17.520Inside is a gaobot robot, the dominance of AI.
00:33:22.200Beijing is trying to lead the way in AI and also in humanoid robots.
00:33:27.860It's coincide. This is the first of its kind for this kind of interaction.
00:40:26.460and i think uh if interviewed again you could maybe get to the bottom of it but look you have
00:40:31.020two guys that want to get to the bottom of it so that's kind of i just think a good background and
00:40:37.740setup i just i see a lot of things coming out of this so that's why i wanted to not that i want to
00:40:43.660like harp on this and bring it to the forefront but i want to at least have one chunk of one of
00:40:48.220our shows you guys just to kind of regroup and recap and i have a few more clips i want to show
00:40:53.820you. But Owen, you know, Nunes is not having it. And I love that he named Obama because we all
00:41:02.680know. So just, I have more clips, but on this alone, anything that you want to say about it?
00:41:09.140Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it is, like you said, something, we kind of know what happened
00:41:12.900and it's now, it's just a matter of like proving it and having whatever documentary evidence
00:41:18.100is behind it. And that's the stuff that I think is starting to come out with the burn bag room
00:41:23.720and all that stuff is just, you know, more like documentation and proof of what actually went on.
00:41:29.560Because even if you have essentially the story of what happened, it's harder to use that in court.
00:41:35.560It's harder to prove it. They could always just deny it if you don't really have, you know, documented evidence of it.
00:41:40.660So I think that's the difference here is that they may actually go after some of these people legally,
00:41:45.160potentially with criminal charges. And I'm hoping they will.
00:41:48.480I think Brennan is at the top of that list. And I posted a story recently about that, you know, his role in that and how apparently the FBI is now questioning current and former CIA officials as part of this investigation.
00:42:02.860So let's take a look at these two clips. I'll do them back to back and we'll discuss that because I'm very interested in some of these people.
00:42:10.460OK. Curious than that, the chairman of the House Intel Committee doesn't have declassification
00:42:16.560authority over these types of documents. They are made available to Congress under very tightly
00:42:21.580controlled rules. This has been a source of tension for years. And members of both parties
00:42:28.420have gone out of their way to assure that this material would be closely held and not weaponized.
00:42:36.260Schiff was viewed as one of the most political chairs of that committee in its history.
00:42:41.420And this is a truly chilling account, if true. Now, when I first read it, frankly,
00:42:47.760I was taken aback because it's perfectly moronic to commit such a felony with a planning0.98
00:42:55.520conference meeting with staff. That's not usually how things are leaked in Washington, D.C.0.87
00:43:03.520What makes this different, Will, is that this was a statement made to FBI agents.
00:43:10.260The person who made this statement was no doubt aware that lying to FBI agents is not just a crime,
00:43:16.480but a crime that was repeatedly prosecuted during prior administrations, including the Obama and Biden administrations.
00:43:24.180So making this statement puts you at risk.
00:43:27.820That's why someone's lying here and someone's a felon.
00:43:58.780each of these leaks is an individual violation. Each of these documents would likely be charged
00:44:04.000as a violation. That type of count stacking is precisely what Mueller and others did.
00:44:09.200Remember, these are very similar to the types of claims made against Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago
00:44:15.060that he removed material and properly stored them. There were also allegations that he might
00:44:21.580have revealed them to third parties. But this is much more serious in one sense.
00:44:27.760Trump was accused of negligence in most of these counts. This would be a premeditated criminal act to release classified information to damage one's political opponents.
00:44:41.820And we do love Jonathan Turley, and he is not a Republican. That I can tell you now. This is a short clip. And this is let's just listen to this little weasel.
00:44:55.620He has succeeded largely in turning DOJ and the FBI into political arms of his political operation.
00:45:03.300What still exists in the system to slow that down?
00:45:07.880I think, as Liz mentioned, there's still a legion of professionals in the law enforcement environment,
00:45:14.860the Department of Justice, as well as the CIA and other places,
00:45:17.940the ones who are refusing to follow politically motivated prosecutions,
00:45:23.820Those who are refusing to support any type of political activities on the part of the Trump administration that are inconsistent with the authorities, the responsibilities of the intelligence community, law enforcement community, and Department of Justice.
00:45:39.660Okay, Owen. Incredible, because he says the quiet part out loud, doesn't he, Brennan, in that clip?
00:45:48.400Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it's pretty clear what happened and it's pretty clear there was a lot of dirty things, illegal things that went on. And I think now, again, it just comes to a matter of what can be proven in court and what can be gotten through the process of getting a grand jury indictment and having prosecutions.
00:46:09.900And I think a lot of us have been waiting a very long time to see some real legal action taken.
00:46:14.000And it does seem like the momentum is heading in that direction at this point.
