Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:00:32.520
Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:46.900
is now happening in one of the most liberal cities in America.
00:00:58.740
And they explain a lot about what's happening lately,
00:01:01.500
including one that shows the president's approval rating
00:01:20.520
And the man known to us all as comfortably smug.
00:01:34.520
Michael just doesn't care enough about your show to appear.
00:01:42.800
But sadly, he has COVID and thought that was reason enough
00:01:48.760
We were concerned about the over the transom transmission
00:02:08.100
what happened at the San Francisco School Board,
00:02:20.640
and sort of the far left of the Democratic Party.
00:02:35.560
But it's even more profound than that, almost, Megan.
00:02:59.200
I mean, it doesn't matter what your politics are, right?
00:03:02.620
I mean, they saw, basically, I don't care what you believe in,
00:03:14.820
I mean, they recall, they could only recall three.
00:03:17.100
They probably would have recalled the whole board
00:03:19.660
They were only allowed to go after these three,
00:03:21.700
given the way the California law is structured.
00:03:24.920
And you tell me whether the other members on this board
00:03:27.580
and other school boards in California and countrywide
00:03:37.520
those far-left policies we've seen in so many states?
00:03:45.820
oh, you know, those Republicans, they got their way,
00:03:48.120
but not here in our state, because we've been reasonable.
00:03:51.360
I mean, I think that is a large part of what we've been seeing
00:03:54.380
over the past couple of years is a demand that you adhere
00:04:05.340
I mean, you just look at the registration numbers.
00:04:25.180
Like, Abraham Lincoln High School must be renamed.
00:04:27.920
And parents just, I mean, I think any sane person,
00:04:30.840
even Democrats, would be willing to take a moment,
00:04:34.420
take a pause and say, my kids aren't in school,
00:04:42.580
because they thought it all referred to the battle,
00:04:45.900
And the Alamo school is actually just a Spanish tree.
00:04:54.760
There was one tweet by Lee Fang of The Intercept,
00:04:59.100
which is, you know, a lefty sort of news organization
00:05:08.140
about Republicans increasingly looking to the education fight
00:05:13.120
and talking about how this is about right-wing politics.
00:05:15.120
So Lee Fang responds, no one watches Fox News here.
00:05:23.020
The leaders of the recall are non-white immigrants.
00:05:29.020
but the fact that an overwhelming majority of Democrats
00:05:31.680
recalled San Francisco's ultra-woke school board
00:05:41.040
And even the San Francisco Examiner editorial board
00:05:55.680
And so we've seen examples in both of those states,
00:05:59.520
where the parents' messaging is getting through.
00:06:04.940
So, you know, eight, seven months away from the midterms,
00:06:11.760
there's another interesting figure in this whole story,
00:06:19.560
She is somebody who stood up for what she believed in,
00:06:27.260
But, I mean, she wrote very, very clearly in her piece
00:06:33.020
because she just wanted a normal environment for her kids.
00:07:06.960
And I think that she is really an example of what,
00:07:12.880
she is an example of what you want kids to grow up
00:07:22.420
but I think of all the parents without the resources
00:07:24.660
and without the ability to sort of speak their mind
00:07:28.620
for fear of having their livelihoods taken away.
00:07:44.800
Is that you can't actually question the narrative
00:07:48.200
that they've come up with in any form or fashion
00:07:52.880
And they'll use whether it's the tech platforms
00:08:08.940
They'll fire you even from a job as powerful as hers.
00:08:31.720
This thing, this doesn't, on its face, involve race.
00:11:50.500
how they've completely blunted its force, right?
00:13:24.060
It's just like everything under the sun, right?
