00:00:00.000 hello america crisis on the border hey joe manchin is completely trustworthy we talk a little bit

00:00:07.180 about non-fungible uh assets uh not even sure exactly what that was but it's a new way to make

00:00:18.000 all kinds of money beanie babies these are the beanie babies of the future uh also we talk uh

00:00:26.740 a little bit about uh andrew cuomo it comes as a shock to me that two more people have come out

00:00:37.140 against him yeah apparently they want you to believe he's quite the the ladies man in the hands

00:00:45.060 you know i mean only talking about her bazooms because she's got such big bazooms all on today's 1.00

00:00:52.600 podcast you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:03.640 pat gray has joined us hello pat hello glenn pat gray of course from the podcast pat gray unleashed

00:01:13.680 where you can get uh you can listen to him every day either on blaze radio network live before this

00:01:19.720 program i just came from there i just came from there wow yeah it's quite a commute from my studio

00:01:25.520 to yours what a journey it's been it's so uh pat what do you have today uh i've got some mask nazis

00:01:32.640 that uh they're pretty much showing up everywhere really mask nazis yeah this was uh an interesting

00:01:38.400 one i thought at a at a drive-through location um the woman wasn't wearing a mask and uh so here's

00:01:45.920 inner car inner car inner car here's what happened hi you have a mask no i don't i can give you one

00:01:52.660 uh you can give me one i can give you one i need you to wear a mask so you can hand me a mask i can

00:01:59.220 hand you one yeah but you can't hand me the drink without a mask you've got to wear a mask how does

00:02:04.620 that make any sense you gotta wear a mask that's what that's what i just need you to wear a mask

00:02:09.640 can you see mine well if you can hand me a mask why can't you just hand me the drink

00:02:13.240 i can hand you the mask all right so he can hand me a mask but he can't hand me my drink

00:02:22.500 makes perfect sense right can you imagine they're trying to tell us in our cars now that we have to

00:02:31.100 wear a mask to be served well why won't you listen to the authorities why won't you listen to the

00:02:36.840 follow the science yeah follow the science and listen to the authorities that are working the

00:02:41.740 drive-through window right at your local fast food place because who knows better right exactly right

00:02:48.700 it's a fast they're on the front line drive-through person right i do worry a little bit about the

00:02:54.460 stock of google though if masks go away there will be no content on youtube all content on youtube is

00:03:02.160 related to masks it's even like every one of these mass conference happens to happen when

00:03:06.660 someone is pointing a phone at themselves which is a really amazing coincidence i don't know if

00:03:11.620 there's more anger that comes into these or what she probably went through before or had a friend go 0.70

00:03:18.100 through and was gonna record this time yes it is a completely ridiculous standard it makes absolutely

00:03:25.600 no sense no i need you to wear the mask but i need you to wear it i can hand it to you i can hand it to

00:03:31.620 you but you need to wear it and at some level you feel like kind of bad for the employee who

00:03:36.360 obviously didn't come up with a policy i don't know he doesn't say that's policy he didn't say

00:03:41.740 that's company policy even if it is company you to wear the mask even if it is company policy it's

00:03:47.900 ridiculous and i'm sorry you just ignore it let's not teach people just to follow orders no but if you

00:03:54.760 want to keep your job at a restaurant that has the policy right right if you want to keep your job 0.96

00:03:59.600 uh i understand that yeah uh you know but there also is something to be said on we should probably

00:04:05.540 put this uh pull this weed out by its roots when something makes no sense whatsoever you should

00:04:13.260 probably not do it when you're trampling on people's rights and it makes no sense as a person

00:04:18.780 who may or may not go through the taco bell drive through 14 times a week i've noticed they have a

00:04:23.840 policy at least at the one the several that i frequent uh that they put the bag in a bin to

00:04:30.700 hand to me oh yeah which is like yeah you've touched the bag to put it in the bin and then

00:04:37.240 you're sliding the bin out so that i have to grab the bag the same bag you touched with my hands and

00:04:43.660 pull it out of the bin but you're not touching them yeah so that's okay i guess right i've never

00:04:48.580 touched a drive-thru employee i don't know what do you think i have andrew cuomo i don't give it to

00:04:53.520 you but you can't give them the covid that would be bad they can give it to you yes but you can't

00:05:00.420 reciprocate yes but how would i give it to them in a normal they know they've made it so you can't

00:05:06.440 no i mean a normal drive-thru transaction how would i give them covid well assuming you're wearing

00:05:11.840 giving them a credit card assuming you're wearing a mask you are wearing no absolutely not oh my

00:05:18.260 gosh you should ask they can hand you a mask stew you know what you're a bad person

00:05:22.120 thank you i just decided i don't like that summarizes it pretty well it does yeah it does but i could help

00:05:29.440 if you know maybe you don't want to wear a full mask what about wearing a nosy have you seen the 0.98

00:05:34.800 nosy oh my gosh these are so stupid these are so great i thought you were gonna say great these are so 0.99

00:05:39.840 great these are great because look what it does they're 1.00

00:05:43.500 i mean it's a it's a little teeny device that fits all over only your nose and it acts as a hepa filter 0.99

00:05:56.220 and a carbon filter and if you if you're watching on tv you you can see just how stupid they look on 0.86

00:06:04.580 people so just based on that i'm gonna say i'm gonna pass on the nosy but you know what these cost 0.99

00:06:11.100 no 90 dollars no 90 bucks for a nosy it can't be real is it real i i think so it looks so ridiculous 0.89

00:06:22.540 looks so ridiculous um let me tell you you know what it looks like what do you remember the opera 0.96

00:06:28.240 the nose oh my gosh that i went to it looks just like the nose and the nose was the was the i don't 0.98

00:06:38.080 even know what that damn opera was about i my daughter was like let's go to this opera it's 0.98

00:06:43.660 getting great reviews and i'm like no not another opera she's like it's gonna be great fun i'm like 0.98

00:06:48.120 no it's not it's really not and we went and we mocked it the whole time people were very angry with us

00:06:55.800 but we mocked it the whole time it was a giant nose with feet and it looked like the nosy

00:07:00.760 it's a nose with feet yeah and it's saying i don't even know what it was because it was in

00:07:05.780 another language but it was this nose that would come out and it would walk around the stage

00:07:09.480 okay whatever and i'm convinced i'm convinced that that opera was just someone saying 0.98

00:07:22.460 watch how stupid these opera people are they'll buy this and then they'll all flock to it and pay all 0.95

00:07:30.720 kinds of money to watch the no singing and i think that's what the nosy is i think that is somebody 1.00

00:07:42.880 saying look how stupid everyone has become they will wear these and they'll pay 90 a piece for them 0.92

00:07:50.860 so i wonder yeah i mean i wonder if you could actually buy them are they a legitimate product 0.99

00:07:57.600 go to yeah we went to the we went to the website did you buy anything no oh i think we gotta buy it

00:08:02.680 we gotta buy one gotta buy them we gotta buy one okay that would be a fun show to do a show with

00:08:07.620 the nosy and then let's buy three of them okay one for you one for uh i don't want the white one 0.98

00:08:14.560 whatever else colors they have i just don't want a white one i want a black one i want a black one

00:08:19.200 because i identify as having as a person with a black if they have a brown one because

00:08:26.000 my nose is about the entirety of my native american ancestry i have more native american ancestry than

00:08:35.500 uh elizabeth warren yeah so i could wear a brown nose or a red nose it does seem to be a kickstarter

00:08:44.480 so maybe not actually available to purchase but on the way if you put your money into that

00:08:50.740 kickstarter uh those people are probably in russia only 217 backers yeah really which is not good

00:08:58.660 considering the amount of press it's it's received that is not a good number wow well it's gonna do

00:09:03.480 better now because i thought it was great you know what if you could put glasses and uh black furry

00:09:09.960 eyebrows above the glasses uh let me give you let me give you this this is from the washington post

00:09:18.520 uh this is an editorial

00:09:20.280 living in dallas texas right now feels like an exercise in survival wow oh yeah doesn't for sure it

00:09:32.220 really doesn't it at a mexican restaurant in lubbock this week governor she's living in dallas

00:09:38.420 governor greg abbott no he was okay got it governor greg abbott proclaimed that he would issue an

00:09:45.380 executive order to open texas up 100 starting next week including as he told a cheering crowd

00:09:53.940 ending the statewide mask mandate people and businesses don't need the state telling them how to operate

00:10:01.160 he said it was ironic that abbott made his announcements on texas independence day was it

00:10:09.820 for was that ironic was it i mean it is i mean he's saying that we can be independent and we don't have to

00:10:16.260 have the government telling us everything so it was actually kind of appropriate more than ironic

00:10:21.000 for many of us texans that we uh that what we desperately need is to be free from a gop leadership 1.00

00:10:30.100 that has put our safety last at every turn since this pandemic began abbott's decision to lift

00:10:37.040 occupancy limits on businesses and other restrictions is reckless and premature so i i went to um i went to

00:10:46.600 a restaurant on friday and i was out with a bunch of friends and my wife just gave me the dirtiest look 1.00

00:10:53.140 she was already there and i walked all the way through the restaurant um uh saying with my mask

00:11:02.060 on i mask so i'm safe i mask so i'm safe i mask so i'm safe i mask so i'm safe i mask so i'm safe

00:11:09.820 then i pulled the chair out i mask so i'm safe i sat down i don't need the mask anymore because there

00:11:16.900 are no germs at this level yeah it drives me nuts covid is a high thing that's why uh no little

00:11:24.500 people have covid kids don't get covid because it all floats above you so when you sit down four

00:11:29.940 foot three right you can't get covid right so uh so uh the texas gop this according to washington

00:11:36.640 post the texas gop's necropolitics meaning politics of death have been on full display during

00:11:44.660 this pandemic year uh last march lieutenant governor dan patrick said grandparents in wet in texas

00:11:52.020 would be willing to sacrifice their lives uh for the sake of the state's economy oh yeah i said that

00:11:58.000 too uh when abbott reopened the state in in may the move quickly resulted in a spike of cases and he was

00:12:05.440 forced to backtrack i've never backtracked on any of uh that i i believe that uh people my age are

00:12:12.820 perfectly willing to go in to work not everybody not everybody but there's a lot of us who are like

00:12:19.020 uh-huh yeah open it back up now texas has thrust texans back into the reopen rodeo show so here we go

00:12:27.980 again impressed on his abbott impressed on his listeners at the end of the mask mandates does not

00:12:34.240 end personal responsibility but what of the responsibility of government what have that what

00:12:41.780 have the responsibility to not tell us what to do in every aspect of our lives yeah uh you know

00:12:48.220 the responsibility of the government really ends uh on the rights and responsibilities of the citizen

00:12:54.600 yeah when they interfere with the rights of the citizen the government has no place there this guy

00:13:01.040 is making the argument that yes i do need government to tell me whether or not i should wear a mask i'm not

00:13:06.900 smart enough to figure that out no he is he is and his friends but everybody else in texas are too 0.98

00:13:13.780 stupid to do it yeah so you might have a i don't know an ego issue i'm just saying that if you think 0.99

00:13:23.220 that you're the smart one and you pay attention to science i would like to point out a couple of real 1.00

00:13:30.180 quick a couple of things about science uh first of all the this is latest from the cdc mask mandates and

00:13:40.080 restaurant restrictions have very small impact on coronavirus uh japan their supercomputer just has

00:13:50.000 shown that doubling masks offers little to no help just if you're following the science

00:13:58.020 you should read those articles and uh maybe put the pin down uh on when you're walking or writing to the

00:14:06.220 washington post although i don't know if anybody actually exists at the washington post except

00:14:11.660 people members of the dnc with the with the headlines that they wrote about biden this weekend

00:14:17.620 um i i biden may be working at the washington post that's why he doesn't have time for press conferences

00:14:25.760 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:14:31.060 so the old saying is what goes up must come down uh and that is with inflation as well as you just

00:14:46.940 keep increasing the money supply uh the way we have we've we've printed 26 percent more dollars

00:14:55.760 in the last year and introduced them into the system in the last 12 months that no in no other

00:15:02.500 year except 1944 did the united states of america do that uh and there were things to invest in in

00:15:12.020 1944 we were we were building uh the nuclear bombs we were building airplanes we were building

00:15:21.400 factories uh and we needed to spend the money that's we did it and then we pulled that money all back in

00:15:30.620 this kind of of the amount of money that we now have in the system we've never had anything close to this

00:15:36.900 out in the system and when you print money it's bad unless there's what's called no velocity

00:15:45.140 velocity velocity just means is that bill being spent so somebody gets a loan from the bank they build a

00:15:52.580 factory those uh those dollars that they got from the bank they pay to mechanics uh or a contractor

00:16:01.120 and the contractor pays for the the structure and pays the electricians the electricians take that and

00:16:08.660 they buy groceries and then they take some of it and they spend it at a movie theater velocity is how many

00:16:15.560 times has that dollar bill been spent before it goes back to the bank we have very low velocity right now

00:16:23.540 and people are looking for places to put their money uh at least people i guess who have just a ton of

00:16:30.640 money because i don't even understand this new sounds to me like a scam but i wanted to get

00:16:36.660 jeff brown on the phone hi jeff good morning glenn jeff is the uh founder and chief investment

00:16:43.480 analyst at brownstone research and editor of the bleeding edge uh he's a bigwig in uh high tech

00:16:50.620 tell me what nfts are

00:16:54.340 okay so uh nfts are non-fungible tokens and probably the simplest place to start is to understand what

00:17:05.380 fungible means because it's it's really not a word that we use on a day-to-day basis

00:17:10.620 um let's take the u.s dollar if you wanted to borrow from me a hundred dollar bill

00:17:16.540 um and then you wanted to pay me back you wouldn't have to pay me back with exactly the same

00:17:22.240 one hundred dollar bill that i gave you right um a hundred dollar bill is equal to a hundred dollar

00:17:27.480 bill they're completely fungible they're interchangeable they're even divisible and so

00:17:32.160 that's the concept of uh fungibility a non-fungible object is uh something that

00:17:40.140 isn't divisible and can't be exchanged for just something else a simple example would be

00:17:47.180 uh your website glennbeck.com or theblaze.com uh these are actually uh non-fungible assets

00:17:55.180 they're not interchangeable with another website at all so if you own it so like a stamp would be

00:18:02.520 fungible but a collector stamp with the upside down airplane that's non-fungible as long as

00:18:10.200 there's only one of them okay and that's the that's the nuance okay so nfts non-fungible tokens

00:18:16.700 every single token is unique in its own right there's nothing else like it nor nor can there be

00:18:25.100 and so let me give you the start of this story and you explain this uh october 2020 just a few

00:18:35.260 months ago miami-based art collector pablo rodriguez uh frail spent almost sixty seven thousand dollars

00:18:42.460 online on a 10 second video artwork that he could have watched for free online last week he sold it

00:18:50.360 for six point six million dollars that sounds crazy can you and it is it's crazy okay but but it's only

00:19:03.200 crazy when um we kind of uh um get uh sucked into the concept of okay this was a digital piece of art

00:19:12.740 but um if we think about the value of uh of picasso um those have sold for six point six million dollars

00:19:21.500 and uh what's happening right now in the non-fungible token space the the most popular

00:19:28.040 areas of non-fungible tokens right now are in collectibles for example um nba basketball uh kind

00:19:37.620 of like trading cards uh we have artwork digital artwork which can be uh static so just an image or

00:19:45.500 video clips are are very popular and uh if we kind of understand that in 2020 was a breakout year it's

00:19:53.680 really when uh the concept of nfts um became very well known in in the technology industry about two

00:20:01.820 quarters of a billion dollars worth of transactions took place last year but we're going to have a

00:20:06.560 multi-billion dollar year this year and it's because people see the the art and collectibles industry

00:20:13.760 um shifting from physical objects physical goods to uh digital assets um and each one being unique

00:20:22.740 and individual and rare okay so wait a minute i can understand if it's an artwork because then you

00:20:29.000 would buy the rights to print it and sell it right and you can that's precisely the point okay pablo

00:20:36.960 bought the rights to that piece of art right he could sell it okay 6.6 million because it was a one

00:20:43.220 of a kind so then tell me exactly what uh you you would be buying a clip online of like sports

00:20:51.920 because i understand that people are buying the nba is into this are they are they selling the clips of

00:20:59.200 sports games and could you not just get that online or would would that clip of that game

00:21:07.000 belong to you and if nbc wanted to play it they would have to pay you for it that's right so i mean

00:21:15.080 the nba has been incredibly progressive again last year um there was only a quarter of a billion

00:21:22.080 dollars worth of revenue to date uh nba top shot has is literally had the highest level of transaction

00:21:31.060 volume um more than 300 million uh very uh unusual that you'd have kind of a legacy industry like nba

00:21:40.320 being very aggressive in a very progressive space and monetizing their assets and so they can carve

00:21:47.300 out you know we can imagine how many um hundreds of thousands of hours of video that they have the

00:21:54.240 digital rights to they can cut these things up and carve them up and create interactive trading cards

00:22:01.500 each and every one of which is uh is a one of a kind and confer the rights contractually

00:22:08.280 onto a blockchain uh it's like transferring of intellectual property or a patent to anyone that

00:22:15.820 buys it and then they own it and you're you're exactly right the owner of the um of the trading card

00:22:21.920 or the clip um could license it out uh on a one-off basis on a continuous basis or they can just sell it to

00:22:30.000 uh to another um another individual who's willing to pay more for the asset so does this sound to you

00:22:36.180 a little like pets.com uh you know it it doesn't and i'll tell you why because it's it's inevitable

00:22:45.500 especially as i look at um uh kids that are growing up today um but really um kids as young as eight

00:22:56.060 um all the way up to people in their 20s and 30s they just don't value physical assets the same way

00:23:02.840 that they value digital assets and if we think about even video games most people don't know this

00:23:09.320 but the video game industry is larger than the entire motion picture industry and one of the biggest

00:23:16.360 revenue sources in video games is virtual goods so people are buying a a magical sword or a shield

00:23:23.100 uh my soon my son took some of his money last summer after he was working and he was like i want to buy

00:23:30.760 this sword dad and i'm like buy a sword and you don't really have it no i use it in the game and

00:23:38.140 you're gonna pay for it and i just could not get my arms around it but he he thought that was the

00:23:44.460 greatest thing ever it is how they um feel cool um how they play better in a game how they are seen

00:23:53.980 by their peers who also play in that game this is more than a hundred billion dollar business virtual

00:24:01.200 goods right now in 2021 it'll be more than 150 billion dollars by 2025 and so when i look at a

00:24:09.420 business that's that large and one of the biggest problem with virtual goods in video games is you

00:24:15.680 can't transfer them to other places they only exist in this kind of single game in this walled garden but

00:24:21.940 non-fungible tokens enable you to actually acquire these things have something that none of your friends

00:24:29.460 have so it's unique different it can have different powers and capabilities and you get to keep it and you

00:24:36.740 can actually sell it for a profit somewhere down the road uh-huh uh i somewhere somewhere right now

00:24:45.640 is somebody that has a closet full of beanie babies that were told exactly the same thing

00:24:53.500 when the beanie baby craze was going it's it's just like the art and collectibles market you know they

00:25:00.360 have years where certain sectors are just on fire yeah and they look like they're a bubble so how do you

00:25:06.320 know what how do you know what to buy i mean i guess it's like art you buy what you like and good luck to

00:25:12.360 you well i think um you know this is where kind of normal people actually have an advantage let's say

00:25:19.740 that uh you know you're a big nba fan and you've been following um uh the nba for three decades you

00:25:26.500 actually would have kind of this intrinsic inherent feel for the value of certain moments in nba history

00:25:35.240 uh and and what they might be worth and whether or not they're going to increase in value over time

00:25:40.260 um i can tell you that this industry the nft industry within a few years will be worth uh more

00:25:48.340 than a hundred billion dollars this is literally a transference um from one kind of physical object

00:25:54.700 market into uh a digital asset uh market space and just like i i think uh when i look think about the

00:26:02.600 investing world you know every year there are sectors that tend to be um hotter and more exciting

00:26:08.720 where technological advancement is happening more quickly um and they tend to um appreciate and value

00:26:15.380 uh faster than other sectors so if i wanted i see this if i wanted to buy let's say the lou gehrig

00:26:22.420 um the luckiest man luckiest man on earth on earth could i buy that now or and how would you buy it or

00:26:31.180 yeah so um the owners of the current assets um uh would would have to basically package and productize

00:26:42.120 and create a non-fungible token um and by doing so they actually create a contract of ownership so

00:26:50.180 embedded within a non-fungible token or is all the data about what makes it rare and special as well as

00:26:57.460 what we've referred to as a smart contract which is what enables one company or person to transfer the

00:27:04.500 rights of ownership to another individual and so once that's offered up to whomever owns those rights

00:27:11.340 um you could buy it and hold it for as long as you want it and do with it all right once you want it

00:27:16.740 one one last question um i was sued for the lowercase g by garth brooks when i first went over to uh cnn

00:27:26.860 okay it's the typewriter lowercase g and he sued me and um he had sued everyone who would use the

00:27:36.000 lowercase g in a logo uh claiming ownership of it um you know he took a uh copyright i think out on it

00:27:44.440 and um and so owned it and he fought it and after 10 years if you fight and win every case and he had the

00:27:52.800 money to do it you own that letter but you have to as in anything you have to defend it all the time

00:28:00.980 so if you have a famous clip don't you have to also have a bunch of attorneys to make sure that people

00:28:07.760 know that's that clip has to be removed from youtube and everywhere else don't you have to fight it all the

00:28:13.640 time um yes i you know traditionally that would be true um uh the difference with uh with with

00:28:23.160 blockchain uh technology i mean of course if somebody is just simply capturing uh a clip from

00:28:30.100 let's just say a youtube video or an old video that's actually different than the non-fungible token

00:28:36.700 itself um the non-fungible token would not just include the video clip but uh typically what we're

00:28:43.340 seeing is there's other things that make it uh unique other attributes uh to the clip that make

00:28:50.060 it uh special and um you know it's official it's like having a licensed and authorized product rather

00:28:57.680 than you know a knockoff a knockoff jersey that um you know you just buy off of the vendor off the street

00:29:03.760 and so that's where rarity comes uh you know you're definitely right um you could pursue those things

00:29:10.380 yeah it's kind of crazy how you could claim a letter from the alphabet i know i copyright i thought for

00:29:17.100 sure that it was madness but it wasn't and he now owns it um jeff thank you so much for talking to us

00:29:23.720 jeff brown uh and you can find uh jeff and follow jeff uh with his uh website jeffbrownletter.com

00:29:31.740 or brownstone research.com this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes

00:29:42.200 clarice sillinger uh she is a mom just like you might be uh she has kids in school or should be in 1.00

00:29:57.800 school and she has uh started a new pack called keeping kids in school uh she was has been just

00:30:07.680 like you really upset about the school closure she said that she had an idea that the teachers

00:30:13.500 unions were involved and then something happened and she said i received the evidence clarice is with

00:30:20.240 us now hello clarice hi glenn i i heard you slip in that hello clarice um but it's a it's a real

00:30:27.860 it's a real pleasure to be with you today thank you very much yes uh so i filed this right to know

00:30:34.700 and got an email back from the teachers union president crazy right what is the uh right to know

00:30:41.700 is that like a freedom of information act kind of thing that's correct yeah that's exactly what it is

00:30:47.440 all right and you filed that with whom so i filed that with my specific school district tapper

00:30:54.980 horsham in the state of pennsylvania okay uh but we have hundreds all over the state of pennsylvania

00:31:00.460 trying to prove this union strong arming okay and you you wrote to them and said what i want to know

00:31:08.160 what i want all correspondence between the superintendent and all the union officials

00:31:15.220 so correspondence i laid it out emails text messages uh any conversation memo between which

00:31:24.080 is this union rep is brian moore and our superintendent every school has a union representative

00:31:31.460 so i encourage everyone to file these right to know okay that is i didn't even know you could do that

00:31:37.260 that's fantastic fantastic all right so um you filed it and what did you get back what did you find

00:31:45.540 so um i got about 70 emails back uh and and what i put in there was i want all emails between march 2020

00:31:57.080 and march 2021 that include in-person return or covid i i did i put some keywords in there and i received

00:32:06.320 this email back and it's so so disturbing the president of the teachers union notes we are not

00:32:13.940 a child care center i fear babysitting drove parents to demand an in amount of in-person instruction

00:32:21.100 that is gut-wrenching not just for parents but also for teachers he has totally disregarded the

00:32:30.360 importance and how essential our teachers are they're not babysitters they're educators

00:32:35.440 so wait a minute so that was in the the memo from a union uh boss to the teachers

00:32:43.980 this is an email from brian moore uh teachers union president for him haper or horsham school district

00:32:52.780 sent directly to our superintendent encouraging him to keep the schools closed because he was trying

00:33:00.340 to open them he says for the record and i can't stress this enough i do not believe it's the

00:33:05.940 correct decision to keep moving ahead with the planned return for high school students as i pointed

00:33:11.180 out yesterday bringing those students back just to return them to remote instruction is plainly illogical

00:33:18.020 additionally hybrid instruction is poor and unsupported by empirical evidence for effective

00:33:24.620 curricular instruction perhaps it has some social and emotional benefits but it's not a better option

00:33:31.260 than remote instruction we're not a child care center and i fear babysitting drove parents to demand an

00:33:38.440 amount of in-person instruction uh he says uh as we've said along all along the way we need to follow the

00:33:45.960 science and i completely agree the science is telling us we should not have students in school and

00:33:51.620 decisions are being made to appease political needs rather than doing what's best for the kids so he's

00:33:58.200 accusing this superintendent of bowing to political needs that's correct yes are you ready for the icing on

00:34:09.840 the cake sure brian moore president of teachers union sends his daughter ever since august five days a

00:34:21.520 week in-person instruction to a catholic school uh how could he do that if he finds it to be really

00:34:30.620 dangerous i would love to know that question and i mean i would love to know that answer i mean i would

00:34:36.560 love to speak to him face to face at this point uh you know our children are really suffering at the

00:34:42.860 greatest extent i mean really truly i know you know the anxiety the depression the failing rates

00:34:49.480 i mean what about the people that can't afford that option like he chose catholic school we're

00:34:56.360 already paying so much money in school taxes and then here he's sending his child it just it's just

00:35:02.840 so heartbreaking our kids have not been in school for a year glenn i know year i know my daughter

00:35:09.440 hasn't been in school for a year my son you can opt you can opt in or out and my son has opted

00:35:16.200 in to go into school but he's still a couple times a week you know he's doing the hybrid hybrid thing

00:35:22.520 uh and and when he goes to school it is like some sort of i don't know uh scientific uh you know

00:35:32.960 boy in a bubble kind of atmosphere where everybody is behind plexiglass and you can't leave your desk and

00:35:40.720 you have to eat at your desk for lunch it's i mean it doesn't even sound like school that's right it's

00:35:48.120 affecting him and his uh his depression level and it's really not good so what do you what is going

00:35:57.820 to happen in this school district with with brian moore well what he says hybrid's not good right he

00:36:06.800 says it's poor and unsupported unsupported so i'm pushing for full return i mean you're you the

00:36:14.520 one that's he's the one that said it you know it's poor and unsupported so i'm hoping um that they

00:36:21.240 take this and open our schools five days uh just as they should just as many scientists and doctors

00:36:30.220 recommend for the welfare of our children but i will also note i do believe and i hate to get this

00:36:37.180 to even be political but i believe that people have to show up at the polls and start really knowing

00:36:44.540 their candidate of who they're voting for for school boards and and who's owned by the union and who's not

00:36:51.060 oh yeah i would uh i would completely agree with you on that now seeing that the cdc has come out

00:36:58.700 uh and said mask mandates and restaurant restrictions have small impact on the coronavirus cases i would

00:37:07.180 assume that would be the same for schools and the american pediatrics has come out and said you've got

00:37:14.480 to put kids back into school what science is he talking about that suggests that the teachers have to stay

00:37:22.360 home he does refer to the pennsylvania department of health but that um yeah i i know i mean we we know

00:37:33.380 who was running that he's she's now she's now in the biden administration that's right dr levin yeah

00:37:42.200 yeah okay so it's troubling i mean i just i i appreciate the time to bring light to this because

00:37:49.880 our kids and just like your son and daughter need this so much every single child needs this we have

00:37:56.220 children that with keeping kids in school that have contacted us their parents that are experiencing

00:38:01.520 homelessness and they use school for much more than school right we cannot continue this this has 1.00

00:38:07.880 to end we have kids that are going to gun violence drug drugs i mean it it has to end we're giving our

00:38:15.540 children no outlet or giving them no no road or path to succeed so clarice what about the uh you know the

00:38:24.180 the argument that as conservatives i can't believe we're we're demanding these schools open up there's a

00:38:31.440 story out today that says in in kindergarten they're going to start talking uh about uh sexual 0.94

00:38:38.960 identification and even anal sex five-year-olds i mean what are we doing what i mean isn't there part of 0.86

00:38:47.600 you that says i don't want these schools to open back up um it's a great fear but maybe we should start 0.97

00:38:58.780 looking stronger at school choice i mean maybe we should because i know that i know many parents that

00:39:07.560 cannot afford sure the option you know of private institution or whatever that is but maybe maybe

00:39:16.020 the answer is school choice and i gotta tell you i i've always been an advocate for public schools

00:39:21.640 i i always have and i thought that they were cornerstones of our community but with the email

00:39:28.640 that i shared from you with the union strong arming and then you telling me about the curriculum

00:39:34.020 changes how can we how can we allow our children to to experience this kind that that it's disturbing

00:39:42.760 it's really we must look at something else we must so um if anybody wants to get a hold of you and um
