04:59
stop at like four months ago yeah three
05:02
months yeah I mean I I started following
05:04
it a while ago
05:05
like however long ago and you may have
05:08
invited me to like it but I get invited
05:10
to like so many different pages and I
05:12
just typically like all of them but that
05:14
one I actually like that one I actually
05:16
pay attention to it I’m like whoever’s
05:18
doing this content is good posting mean
05:27
page and it turned into you know having
05:29
a really fast growing following I mean
05:32
I’m getting hundreds of likes and shares
05:35
it’s actually pretty surprising I like
05:38
it I’m just gonna ride that pony as long
05:39
as I can until I get socked right yeah
05:43
we can no we keep waiting for that day
05:46
we keep I know every every time we put
05:50
out an episode or opposed especially if
05:52
spike puts out the post I get terrified
05:55
that that’s it like we’re gonna be gone
05:56
for 30 days it’s irrational fear I had
06:05
actually you probably be surprised to
06:07
hear this to a lot of your audience will
06:09
probably hear Expedia friends but Adam
06:14
Smith the original Adam Smith page yeah
06:16
that was remember when I were you pay
06:18
attention when all of the everybody was
06:20
sharing our conversations with each
06:22
other
06:22
yeah all the historical figures yeah
06:24
yeah that was that was me you I
06:26
initiated that with that Maximillian
06:29
did you really it was uh yeah yeah we we
06:35
initiated we got that star
06:36
he started I saw his page and he started
06:39
talking about who the guy wants neither
06:42
none of those characters at any idea who
06:46
each other and we all had 5,000 friends
06:48
within like a week yeah too because we
06:50
went viral with a fuel by conversation
06:53
so everybody were getting like hundreds
06:55
of friend requests a day it was just
06:56
Eric and the you know we did the
07:00
parodies on purpose so he just started
07:02
you know talking trash to each other you
07:04
know but what is with the story accurate
07:07
facts though you know any means right
07:09
yeah this is pretty funny there there
07:12
was one where somebody was just I mean
07:15
they were just taking lines from
07:16
Hamilton and they were like going into
07:19
rap battles and I think yeah cuz Adam
07:30
Smith is my favorite economist
07:31
granddaddy of modern day Atomics
07:35
hi I’m Smith is truly uh it’s really
07:38
amazing
07:39
I mean heat at the time they didn’t even
07:41
know what economics were there were no
07:44
words for it
07:46
there was no economist there was nothing
07:49
nothing of this sort nothing that
07:52
established somebody as a career that
07:55
new auto trade foreign nations and
07:58
understood the financing and the socio
08:03
economics that are involved in overall
08:05
economics and Adam Smith kind of just
08:08
took all of that all that down from over
08:10
there over there brought it all together
08:12
in the middle and just observed he just
08:15
he just wrote down all those
08:17
observations about the facts of the time
08:19
and how certain you know certain the
08:24
legislature and and certain you know
08:30
protectionist economic principles and
08:33
and he analyzed those and and and
08:36
realized how they affected the
08:38
industries that they were in negatively
08:40
and that’s all in his book the the
08:42
wealth of nations right which is if you
08:46
take on that book you’re you’re my hero
08:47
I couldn’t
08:50
it wasn’t the audio book but I’ve
08:53
listened the audiobook a few times now I
08:55
guess and you know it lasted about two
08:57
weeks probably the best economic okay
09:07
Adam Smith paid actually do wrong page
09:10
that I haven’t really it’s Adam Smith
09:14
society
09:15
I mean i Adam Smith’s legacy legacy
09:19
legacy is my other page what’s up you’re
09:22
kind of breaking up on me a little bit
09:25
but Adam Smith’s legacy is what you said
09:28
yeah okay Ivan Ivan sent out any invites
09:36
or anything like that yeah but that’s
09:39
just I started that after Adam Smith got
09:42
sucked right yeah I was really excited
09:45
cuz I like it I like I was I was friends
09:48
with all of these historical figures and
09:49
now it’s just me and maximilien
09:52
robespierre yeah and the one that
09:54
started it all is the one was still
09:56
there yeah must because he’s French it’s
10:01
got yeah it’s gotta be because he’s
10:02
learned I actually I think competition I
10:09
mean use of the bourgeoisie but instead
10:16
he pretended to be you know for the
10:18
proletariat hey we’re just gonna kill
10:21
all we had all the other boys y’see and
10:23
they’ll leave me alone no they
10:24
eventually got to know that that was one
10:30
of my favorite like two weeks on
10:31
Facebook cuz like that was it was such a
10:37
crazy time because like I’m friends with
10:40
all these historical figures who are
10:41
arguing over stuff that happened 200
10:44
years ago and it was all factual and it
10:47
was amazing to watch no that’s I don’t
10:52
know that one because you got to yeah I
10:55
didn’t know that was you over time you
10:57
know yeah yeah there’s a good time that
11:00
was a good time yeah so I tend to get
11:03
out there
11:03
apparently whenever I get involved into
11:06
things but I spread myself very thin so
11:10
what time I grow up and start to
11:12
concentrate my efforts on to greater and
11:16
better things so I can make a better
11:17
influence you know right so how is it
11:21
how is it that you a man from Boston
11:24
became a libertarian it’s a good
11:28
question
11:28
not many of us up here yeah my buddy
11:32
Jeff Jeff Lyons can attest to that as
11:34
well ya know it um easy answer Ron Paul
11:41
but I’ll get into it I’ll get into it
11:43
Ron Paul of course you know I hate to be
11:46
cliche but good I get it um we’re we’re
11:51
really lucky to have somebody like him
11:52
you know in Congress at the time it in
11:55
politics and still around making
11:57
difference and especially with my
11:58
friends at young Americans for liberty I
12:01
can make a shout out to them that we
12:03
have like I don’t know maybe a hundred
12:05
of them maybe more doing tons of phone
12:07
making right now
12:09
please elections down down south so I
12:11
shout out to you guys keep kicking ass
12:14
you guys are great love you guys so you
12:20
obviously know all about yeah we don’t
12:21
need to get into that right I did but
12:24
but I mean what I will say about y’all
12:26
they they have been able to do really
12:29
amazing things like I started out just
12:31
students for Ron Paul back in what 12
12:34
2012 I think and yeah what ended what it
12:39
has ended up turning into I don’t think
12:42
anybody could have seen that back then
12:44
and they have done just amazing stuff
12:48
for the Liberty movement and they have
12:50
revitalized it in the youth in the youth
12:54
of today and like I’m seeing more people
12:56
who are libertarian you know concert’
12:59
libertarian conservative and anarchists
13:02
coming out of college for the first time
13:03
since in my lifetime yeah it’s I
13:10
genuinely think this is they said I
13:13
don’t mean it’s uncle say again with the
13:15
grassroots movement but I genuinely
13:17
there’s this this percentage of us that
13:20
are you know our age and younger that
13:24
are opening their eyes to all the
13:26
fallacies that have been made to ask you
13:28
know seventy years right they’re seeing
13:31
and they’re experiencing and feeling all
13:33
these effects and and they know they’re
13:36
not that the rugged Avenue and
13:38
especially I’ve realized the more I
13:42
learned about economics more libertarian
13:44
I didn’t know and it has a lot to do
13:48
with the freedom pocket and the thing is
13:50
most free-market people and that
13:54
actually study economics and learn the
13:56
facts behind economics they they turn
13:59
very libertarian ask you know because
14:01
they realized that a free market is the
14:03
best way for people to exchange the most
14:08
efficient way to exchange goods you know
14:11
on both sides of the aisle and you know
14:14
we’re starting to really wake up to that
14:16
and I think the more and more people
14:19
wake up to that the more they can
14:21
actually start to promulgate the facts
14:23
behind it right and more people start to
14:26
get it I genuinely think because when I
14:28
was 10 years ago I didn’t see anything
14:30
like I’m seeing now I’m seeing today’s
14:33
college kids kinda it’s kind of like
14:36
they kind of reached a peak of like
14:38
they’ve had enough you know they’ve had
14:40
enough and they want to learn the best
14:43
way of how to get out of it which is
14:46
great and I just hope it continues yeah
14:49
as do I
14:51
a lot when I was growing up because I’m
14:54
a little bit I’ve never actually said
14:57
this on the show I’m a little bit older
14:58
than most of the people I have on this
15:00
show and when I would like when I was
15:02
going to slamming what’s that I’m gonna
15:06
do no I’m but I’m older than you right I
15:12
know I know I got you beat
15:24
I got you beat by almost a decade
15:31
yeah so when I was going to school good
15:33
luck to you I’m proud of you but you
15:35
know there it’s it’s real easy it’s like
15:37
I said at the beginning it like before
15:39
we started this show if you do a lot of
15:41
drugs when you’re young in cop like a
15:42
huge alcohol problem
15:44
it just preserves everything so yeah it
15:51
like preserves everything in a youthful
15:52
like exterior it’s like you pickled
15:56
yourself essentially and it just got
15:58
it’s just going to stay that way forever
16:04
but so like when I was going to school
16:09
Lyndon LaRouche was like doing this
16:12
campus push and a lot of people like
16:17
Lyndon LaRouche do you know who when
16:21
Lyndon LaRouche he was like it’s going
16:26
over my head oh he’s uh he was left of
16:30
Bernie and he was doing this huge campus
16:34
push wait okay I remember they were
16:37
coming up to me when I when I was going
16:40
to George Mason there was this group of
16:42
people who were all for Lyndon LaRouche
16:44
and they would come in and they’d be
16:45
like hey Lyndon LaRouche wants to know
16:48
how you feel about whatever and like I
16:50
was like a 17 year old kid I got already
16:54
been through basic training but like I
16:57
didn’t know how to talk to people about
16:59
politics and they would come up and they
17:01
just like don’t you think that everybody
17:02
should kind of like get for work get
17:05
paid for what they work for and I was
17:06
like what yeah and they were like you
17:08
should like duh yeah you should get paid
17:11
if you work that makes sense to me after
17:14
like I was reading their newspapers and
17:16
stuff it was all socialist and communist
17:18
crap and I was like oh that’s not what
17:21
you’re saying you’re saying we should
17:23
all just get paid but they wanted me to
17:27
join like the Lyndon LaRouche team and I
17:30
was like no and Dennis Miller made a
17:33
joke about Lyndon LaRouche once and he
17:36
said that guy missed a field goal so far
17:38
left he could have hit Lyndon LaRouche
17:42
I love that analogy yeah right and it’s
17:47
been one of my favorite jokes of all
17:49
time but most people today don’t get it
17:52
because they don’t know who Lyndon
17:53
LaRouche is so I’ve changed it to now he
17:55
missed that field goal so far left he
17:57
could have hit Bernie Sanders but but
18:02
yes so like when I was going through
18:04
school they were like pushing the
18:06
socialist agenda like that’s what the
18:08
groups were trying to get they nobody
18:10
was talking about freedom nobody was
18:11
talking about liberty nobody was talking
18:13
about you know the individual everyone
18:15
was talking about the collective we were
18:16
talking about making this a socialist
18:19
nation a communist nation like that’s
18:21
what everybody was trying to push back
18:23
then so it’s great to see the day that
18:25
the youth is moving further toward
18:29
individual liberties and individual
18:31
economics and getting away from all of
18:33
this collectivism I think I mean because
18:40
the status quo would kind of turn into
18:43
the the social push for years now and I
18:46
think people like I said we’ll learn and
18:49
and it’s only gonna be better for us I
18:51
just hope well the start is with the
18:54
greatest part is I know for a fact it’s
18:56
it’s young Americans for liberty that is
18:58
getting these people elected in the
19:00
state rep offices across the country
19:02
right on you know the building the bench
19:04
stayed the goal for at the end of next
19:05
year is to have 250 same reps in office
19:09
that’s astronomical but it’s doable and
19:12
they have resources they I just went
19:15
through the candidate Katamon myself it
19:17
was great I learned a lot I have you
19:19
heard about that yet yeah new thing they
19:21
started this year did they started this
19:24
year cuz Matt Nye who’s the chair of the
19:28
Republican liberty caucus I know he they
19:31
were doing it last year I quality okay
19:33
oh okay because I knew he went through
19:35
something I didn’t know what it was
19:36
called
19:37
yeah yeah okay and it’s great they slam
19:45
a lot of material out yet but it is
19:47
great material and these guys it they
19:51
they don’t sit on their hands everybody
19:54
is
19:55
so passionate about individual freedom
19:57
in this organization they’re so
19:59
passionate about individual rights that
20:03
their work ethic is astounding and it’s
20:06
it’s not for just for themselves for
20:10
everybody you know our collective is for
20:16
the individual so we can all
20:18
collectively be happy and sovereign
20:20
right and you know the people that were
20:22
getting elected with young Americans to
20:23
Liberty coming up to the candidate
20:25
Academy they’re all going to help me to
20:27
that and we’re seeing the victories now
20:28
this year especially you know Savannah
20:30
Maddox kicking ass you know a bunch of
20:34
this I can’t even go down a list I
20:36
probably should have made a list of
20:37
women and wrote them down all the things
20:38
that they’ve done but the thoughts and
20:42
expressions on this on this show on my
20:45
own they’re not representing young
20:47
American celebrity I chat established
20:49
that but a lot of our ideas right which
20:56
I mean so I get a lot of people that
20:58
I’ve met through young Americans for
20:59
Liberty on this show yeah
21:04
a good portion of my guests I’ve met
21:06
through young Americans for liberty and
21:09
all of them say that they’re like yeah
21:12
what I say here does not is not being
21:14
backed by young Americans for Liberty
21:16
but we all kind of agree on everything
21:18
and it’s true exactly it is true I mean
21:23
I know first act everything I probably
21:24
say today would probably be endure
21:27
everybody we also we also don’t want to
21:34
say anything wrong and have it have
21:37
young Americans living misrepresentee
21:39
right now I get that I absolutely get
21:41
that oh one one one day if I can get a
21:45
cliff away from Kennedy for an interview
21:48
I’m gonna have to do that oh Lisa
21:51
Kennedy yeah oh man I did great I just
21:55
was with her and the alcohol and Philly
21:58
she walked right up to me we’re in VIP
22:00
because I mean I’m one of the what do
22:05
you see Society donors so they give us
22:08
a special kind of cocktail party if the
22:10
event right where they have all the
22:13
speakers come and get to hang out with
22:15
of like 60 of us or whatever showed up
22:19
to that event so we had to hang it and
22:21
she came right over to me and hung out
22:23
with me basically the whole time with a
22:24
couple guys I was with and we I was like
22:27

22:49

23:08
Wow
23:10
thanks man oh yeah I remember watching
23:13
her on MTV and when I found out that she
23:16
was a huge advocate for liberty later on
23:18
over that can’t be the same oh my god
23:21
that’s the same Kennedy that I used to
23:23
watch Oh
23:33
I’ll shoot her a message be like hey I
23:35
watched you on MTV you should come on my
23:37
show she’s going to Memphis is she I
23:42
don’t know I don’t know if I am like my
23:44
work schedules been crazy because we’re
23:46
just opening a new bar stateside kava if
23:50
anybody didn’t know because you know
23:51
they’re my new sponsors but we’re just
23:53
opening a new bar we’re trying to get
23:55
everything going I’ve been working any
23:57
day that I don’t have a show I’m at work
23:59
and I’m there all the time so right now
24:03
it’s like hard to get away but all right
24:08
but so I say go go ahead so you are
24:16
getting ready to start the you had to
24:19
pulled up here and I had to switch
24:20
screens for a second the edgy
24:22
tation reform caucus yes sir excellent
24:26
sir and I am a big fan of educate like I
24:28
want to get rid of I want to get rid of
24:30
the Department of Education I want to
24:32
get like public schooling I think is a
24:33
massive joke I think it’s indoctrination
24:35
when I was so when I was like I we were
24:38
talking before the show I told you I was
24:39
watching the Phillies game at Phillies
24:42
Cardinals and they were interviewing one
24:46
of the players I don’t know which I
24:47
can’t remember which one he was not of
24:49
he was not a good interviewer or
24:50
interviewee and the interviewer was just
24:52
trying to pull stuff out of him and they
24:54
have some program that is to get food to
24:59
underprivileged kids when they aren’t in
25:02
school and all right all for it you know
25:05
I’m all for companies trying to do this
25:07
but what the interviewer said is these
25:09
these students are used to getting
25:11
breakfast and lunch served to them by
25:13
the schools and immediately I’m going
25:16
there indoctrinating people into schools
25:19
are now providing for the kids like
25:21
that’s immediately where my brain went
25:24
like I called my dad all angry at this
25:26
baseball game because of because of this
25:29
one sentence and yeah but that’s what
25:33
they’re doing they’re they they are
25:34
indoctrinating students into thinking
25:37
government is the only thing that can
25:38
provide for them oh yeah and the
25:41
dependency is outrageous I mean that’s
25:43
going down the dependency road I mean
25:44
they that’s why they have attorney
25:47
business hours so you know you get child
25:50
cares through the schools you know the
25:53
the they like to get DSS involved when
25:58
you go to homes go to home schooling
26:00
because they they want you dependent on
26:03
the state they want you to fit the mold
26:04
to fit into society and especially well
26:09
yeah I’ll be back up for a second this
26:12
is what we wanted to discuss today right
26:14
I am I’m not throwing out the education
26:19
reform caucus yet I have a couple people
26:20
that I’m friends with in the Liberty
26:23
movement the libertarian party precisely
26:26
and we are all going to be cofounders of
26:30
the education reform caucus we haven’t
26:35
rolled that
26:35
yet because you want to we want to
26:39
establish it at the end of the summer
26:41
the gang is yeah and start going over
26:44
situations and and issues that that come
26:50
up as the as the school year goes on you
26:54
know what I mean
26:55
braum we want to be able to address
26:58
people’s concerns and issues as they as
27:02
they happen you know that way people
27:05
would be a lot more interested in the
27:11
program and we can craft our initiatives
27:14
over the school year to tailor to what
27:18
exactly is going on Society at the time
27:20
and go over the budgeting processes and
27:25
so we are we are getting the ground
27:29
rolling with that and I hope it really
27:32
takes us because there is nothing that
27:34
is education reform on a grand scale
27:39
there’s a lot of education reforms when
27:42
it comes to you know out of micro-level
27:45
with a lot of things Oh education reform
27:48
adding civics in the school education
27:50
reform for catering to homeschooling so
27:53
there’s a lot of different subsets of
27:55
education reform there’s a one grand
27:58
centralized plan or approach or attack
28:02
to kind of handle ending the damn
28:05
Department of Education right that has
28:07
absolutely it’s it’s destroyed our
28:11
country it’s destroyed our education and
28:14
intellect about individuals the
28:16
innovativeness of what America really
28:19
stands for the in 1978 the year before
28:25
the time of Education was implemented in
28:28
1978 we have the number one education
28:30
system in the world number one numero No
28:33
why would you break stuff for that and
28:34
that doesn’t need to be fixed right you
28:37
know why but instead of asking questions
28:42
let’s just go into the issues
28:47
now when it was fully implemented in
28:49
1980 me me gradually and consistently
28:54
all the way till now 38 years later
28:56
right gradually and consistently have
28:59
dropped down to 29 overall well it
29:04
depends between 24th and 29th depending
29:07
on who ranks it but still at best
29:10
American rank every rank s 23 that’s
29:14
that’s awful especially without GDP per
29:16
capita there’s there’s no reason for it
29:20
whatsoever and and my theory behind it
29:23
and it’s not just a hypothetical it’s
29:29
it’s a I didn’t bring all my information
29:33
on that one topic but I feel like
29:37
towards the end of the Vietnam War we
29:40
were in a hippie stage we didn’t have
29:42
any there’s no interest we had have a
29:43
draft right
29:44
no we trapped I think it was like three
29:46
million something like during the whole
29:48
Vietnam War and and we were ashamed of
29:56
our country we didn’t want to join the
29:58
military and we weren’t we weren’t
30:01
supportive of our government and then
30:04
they’d established as part of education
30:07
which just like the Hitler Youth helped
30:11
indoctrinate us our kids to become
30:13
status to to become patriotic to stand
30:18
behind their flag they’re they’re
30:20
they’re sky claws and and that’s where
30:24
that’s where the Pledge of Allegiance
30:27
came in 1982 the mandated pledge
30:30
allegiance were those even close to with
30:33
that name for allegedly was it 82 no no
30:36
I’m sorry I wasn’t 82 I think was 88 no
30:39
I’m sorry don’t quote not exactly I
30:41
think it was 88 I was I was thinking the
30:43
Pledge of Allegiance came around during
30:45
I thought that came around I thought
30:47
that came around way earlier I thought
30:49
that was like the 30s no well no not
30:54
mandated Oh mandated mandated sorry
30:58
mandate
30:59
nationwide will say between 82 and 85 Oh
31:04
somewhere around there it was early
31:06
hominins occasion and it worked though
31:10
it worked
31:12
it helped psychologically get people to
31:15
be patriotic and to back the flag right
31:18
and and it got people to join the
31:21
military you got it got us to trust the
31:25
government more we gained reliance from
31:28
the government at a young age and that’s
31:30
only come into I mean people that were
31:33
growing up in the 80s or they’re all
31:35
adults now and so and that’s what we’re
31:39
seeing right now on a society is that
31:41
first generation of you know
31:45
indoctrinated children be grown-ups when
31:50
it’s falling upon as we discussed
31:52
earlier with the limiting right which I
31:55
which actually that’s a really good way
31:56
to look at it cuz yeah I’m at I’m at
32:01
least as old as the Department of
32:02
Education so I’m at least that old so
32:08
like my entire school my entire
32:10
schooling I you know in the morning I
32:13
stood up and you know I pledge
32:14
allegiance to the flag of the United
32:15
States of America and to the Republic
32:16
for which it stands one nation under God
32:17
which was added by Harry Truman
32:19
indivisible with one and one nation
32:22
under God indivisible with liberty and
32:24
justice for all
32:25
like I will never forget that I said
32:27
that every day every day every day so
32:32
every morning I had to say that in
32:34
homeroom or whatever grade I was in and
32:38
it makes a lot of sense because a lot of
32:41
the people coming out they they hated
32:43
the government but they all believed
32:45
that you needed the government in order
32:47
for things to work and even when I was
32:49
going through high school I kind of
32:51
believed the same thing I said oh we
32:53
need to make a law for that we need to
32:54
do that like the government should do
32:56
something about this the government was
32:57
the answer to fixing it and it wasn’t
33:00
until I got older that I realized that
33:02
every time the government came in to fix
33:03
something that it made everything it
33:06
made the issue worse and made other
33:07
things worse I started saying why are we
33:10
asking the government to fix these
33:11
things
33:12
oh yeah instead we should get the
33:14
government completely out of it exactly
33:17
I mean I didn’t even learn that until I
33:19
had joined the Air Force when I was in
33:22
the Air Force I saw how unbelievably bad
33:27
I mean first I saw the contracting and
33:29
how unbelievably egregious it was with
33:33
being wasteful with our tax dollars I
33:35
mean it they chewed the Air Force for
33:39
years at one base of paying $1,300 for a
33:43
freaking coffee mug
33:45
$1,300 the years for coffee mugs one one
33:50
time one $1,300 I joke that you know
33:54
it’s not something that’s not surprising
33:56
to me even a little bit because I mean
33:58
but for anybody who wants one we have
34:01
these great muddied waters Media coffee
34:03
mugs that you can get for $1,300 just
34:07
PayPal us at muddy waters of freedom at
34:12
gmail.com and I will send you a coffee
34:14
mug 1,300 bucks you I’ll send you to
34:18
like God just send those $1,300 um but
34:24
like it’s not surprising cuz so I joined
34:27
the army when I was 17 years old which
34:30
like you said I don’t look my age now at
34:33
17 I did not look 17 looks like you were
34:38
10
34:38
probably yeah I mean to me I look 17 but
34:41
I definitely I I looked 17 to me but to
34:47
other people I did not and they accept
34:49
I’ll take it easy jokes it’s fine most
34:53
of the people I hang out with her much
34:54
younger than me so it’s like I’m used to
34:56
only I’m just kind of like I don’t care
34:58
I still look better than you do it
35:01
anyways yeah yeah people make fun me I’m
35:04
like I look better than you at your age
35:05
so who’s winning
35:09
but exactly the Saudi army like I even
35:14
then I started noticing the army back in
35:17
the late 90s was just completely
35:21
wastefully spending money and I
35:23
why were they doing all this
35:26
Kru ting pushes to bring all these
35:28
people in we weren’t at war we weren’t
35:30
under attack by anybody late Clinton
35:33
started going after Bosnia while I was
35:36
in basic training which that’ll give you
35:38
like a really good idea on how old I am
35:40
he started bombing Bosnia and everybody
35:42
was really afraid that I was going to be
35:44
sent to Bosnia and as soon as I got out
35:47
of basic training because they didn’t
35:48
understand how many of it worked
35:49
and like we didn’t need to be like it
35:53
was just a complete waste of money and
35:55
people were like no the government needs
35:56
to do these things the government needs
35:58
to fix these problems and no they don’t
36:01
they don’t
36:05
and let’s just not just thought of it as
36:07
a humanitarian thing oh you’re getting
36:11
there getting uh you know the mass
36:14
genocides over there right now
36:16
you know I Saddam is killing everybody
36:19
oh my gosh what are we gonna do we got
36:23
to take him out right there weapons of
36:26
mass destruction all you know with
36:28
thanks to the department education and
36:32
indoctrination we trusted our government
36:35
a triack’s
36:36
never questioned it never quite react
36:38
god never questioned it not not only
36:42
that but you know probably the person
36:48
it’s probably the worst most influential
36:51
ii- bill signed in the modern era passed
36:55
probably like 30 years easily you’ve got
36:58
and and the person who drafted it one of
37:01
the people who drafted is now sitting on
37:03
the Supreme Court just you know saying
37:05
for everybody who’s like we need to get
37:07
behind Kavanaugh oh yeah that’s right
37:14
yeah I mean Cavanaugh is one of people
37:17
that drafted it and a lot of people on
37:18
the right we’re saying we need to get
37:19
behind Kavanaugh because he’s getting
37:21
railroaded for things that he never did
37:22
which agreed that part’s true
37:25
but we shouldn’t have been backing him
37:27
for those reasons over there not because
37:30
of what the media was pushing what the
37:32
Democrats were pushing but because of
37:34
things like the Patriot Act yeah because
37:37
of that
37:39
because of it was it awesome Amendment
37:43
violations right you’ve got a war on
37:45
hair the surveillance you’ve got you’ve
37:47
gotten a legal war on terror which
37:48
doesn’t have any particular enemy it
37:50
just has a particular ideology that
37:52
they’re going after which they can now
37:54
define as anything they want much like
37:56
Shane Sweeney and I discussed a couple
37:58
of weeks ago they are now defining
38:01
people who work in drug cartels as
38:04
terrorists so even if you are let I
38:08
don’t know if you do drugs but let’s say
38:10
you do and you buy weed off of some guy
38:13
in Boston who that weed comes from a
38:16
Mexican cartel like even if it goes
38:18
through like a bunch of different lines
38:19
he is now listed as a terrorist like
38:22
that is how broad all of this has got
38:26
gotten and it’s absolutely it’s
38:29
absolutely insane and it all started
38:31
because we have to trust the government
38:34
the indoctrinate the indoctrination
38:36
happened we allowed it to happen not you
38:40
and me but you know we as a nation
38:41
allowed it to happen and we just said we
38:44
gotta trust this government because they
38:46
know better than we do when in all
38:48
actuality no they don’t
38:50
right and that’s exactly oh well 1980
38:54
flow like alluded to you trust Big
38:59
Brother have faith and Big Brother
39:01
you’re gonna go down with big brother
39:04
you know you you and that’s exactly what
39:11
we ended up though we ended up being
39:14
indebted to Big Brother
39:16
and it’s completely opposite of the
39:21
American ideal we’re supposed to be a
39:25
free a filing father has wanted us to
39:27
have our individual rights that’s why
39:29
we’re look in the first place right
39:32
they they in this big a push for
39:38
democracy democracy democracy yes a
39:42
democratic republic works if you follow
39:45
the Bill of Rights and what makes us a
39:49
republic what gives us our individual
39:51
sovereignty
39:52
we don’t follow the Builder Wrightson no
39:54
no not even a yeah we we we trust full
40:00
full-on democracy which is obviously
40:03
it’s been proven history that’s another
40:06
thing we don’t have civics we don’t have
40:07
history courses that are required
40:08
anymore we don’t have people that want
40:12
to look at the past and reflect on it
40:14
and to see where we with certain
40:17
outcomes happen to certain actions the I
40:24
love a transit sorry oh you’re uh you’re
40:27
looting to a point no you’re all mine
40:30
oh but yeah so what is that we so what
40:39
are a couple of so when you’re talking
40:41
about education when you’re talking
40:42
about education reform like obviously we
40:44
want to get rid of the indoctrination
40:45
that we’re seeing we want to we want to
40:47
get rid of people just trusting in
40:48
government like how are some of the ways
40:50
that we’re gonna be able to achieve that
40:55
I’ll get into I’ll list a few and then
40:59
I’ll go into them um so I have a few
41:02
points that I want to bring up you know
41:04
ending ending the Department of
41:06
Education is is numero uno that’s our
41:11
main goal but that’s not the first thing
41:13
we can do right all right there’s gonna
41:14
be baby steps and that’s what I want to
41:18
do as a collective with there’s a there
41:21
are a few I’m not gonna drop any names
41:24
yet but there are two Liberty movement
41:27
teachers that are also going to be
41:30
providing us input and I plan on being a
41:34
professor someday and I’m I’ve studied a
41:38
middle of studying law and how to how to
41:42
teach I really want to be influential to
41:45
as many people as I can in a positive
41:47
way and I feel like being a professor is
41:52
you know probably the best way to go
41:54
right professor in economics at that but
42:00
so knowing Department education needs to
42:03
go is the main goal we need to keep that
42:05
on our mind
42:06
but realized that there steps that we
42:08
have to take you know and one of the
42:11
ideals that we want an intimate
42:13
implement is allowing anyone to apply to
42:16
any school also giving the school the
42:19
ability to deny students now that sounds
42:22
horrifying I’m sure to some people yeah
42:24
when I read that talking point I was
42:26
like I can’t wait for this one it’s no
42:31
one to it’s on it’s one you got to get
42:34
around to people and and here’s here’s
42:41
actually what the when the cofounders
42:43
had to say about it and it’s actually
42:45
directly quoted from him but he’s gonna
42:48
remain anonymous
42:49
as of now okay and he stated although
42:53
not ideal I think there needs to be an
42:56
assigned district school for families
42:59
that do not want to change anything
43:01
where student is guaranteed acceptance
43:03
no matter what the reason being the
43:05
argument of the people on the other side
43:07
of the issue will be that we will hurt
43:09
low-income students if schools have the
43:12
choice not to accept them the solution
43:14
is to have a local school district need
43:16
the assigned risk school that ensures
43:20
everyone has a place to go no matter
43:22
what and I think that’s great so going
43:29
on with that rationale and that plan to
43:32
implement something we would create
43:34
larger districts out of a certain group
43:37
of towns maybe by county and in treat it
43:42
like a free market treat it like we had
43:46
more private schools like we did before
43:48
the 70s you know we’re still gonna have
43:53
tax they’re still going to be supported
43:55
by tax dollars unfortunately great I was
43:58
like men but now half my audio audience
44:02
just went nope listen you got to be
44:05
pragmatic it’s gotta be baby steps
44:08
I don’t want the goal is to end the
44:10
Department of Education and to have zero
44:13
taxes paid towards education that’s the
44:16
goal that’s the goal but you guys most
44:19
libertarians and anti
44:20
guess the too impatient they they they
44:23
get they get a little overzealous and
44:24
they they say no no Jackson no
44:27
we’re not excuse me now you’re
44:29
you’re fine I don’t we drop the f-bomb
44:31
on this show often yeah you know so they
44:40
they they really it’s kind of like half
44:45
of us turned in the extreme wing of the
44:49
right and the left before a libertarian
44:51
wing right and in I I’m just you know I
44:56
love those guys they’re great that
44:58
they’re awesome I mean I agree with them
45:01
100% it’s just that when engaging in
45:04
active politics and getting involved you
45:06
need to have a pragmatic approach you
45:10
need to be understanding and accepting
45:13
of the other peoples but not accepting
45:15
but understanding and open to listen to
45:19
other people’s perspectives and you
45:23
can’t be too extreme you can’t you can’t
45:27
scare people because especially with the
45:29
genuine general populace they’re not you
45:31
say I’m gonna take all the time
45:33
everybody’s gonna start to freak out I
45:34
don’t know what the heck you’re gonna do
45:36
they oh you’re gonna take away all of
45:38
the programs oh my god complete anarchy
45:40
they are in the iñaki already has a
45:42
negative stigma as it is you know the
45:45
students before us what true but what
45:49
about great but what about the roads
45:51
what about the police what about the
45:53
fire department what about EMS whoa
45:59
Oh see one of the biggest things about
46:00
that I love that you brought up Fire
46:02
Department and we’re not gonna go I know
46:04
you talk about an arc oh all the
46:06
time so I’ll uh I’m gonna keep that
46:08
brief but why can’t firefighters be the
46:11
police well please be the firefighters
46:15
it the firefighters are sick sitting
46:18
around 95% of time anyways same thing
46:21
with the cops when they’re not beating
46:22
people up right when they’re not when
46:24
they’re not out there fundraising or as
46:26
I like to call it giving tickets yeah
46:30
fundraising for the state right now
46:31
gotta make my quarters at the end of the
46:33
month
46:33
exactly but they don’t have quotas liars
46:38
but ya know some do some don’t Yeah
46:41
right so here in Pinellas County we have
46:46
I don’t even know how many high schools
46:48
we’ve got in this area it’s a bunch but
46:52
you have to actually apply to go to the
46:55
schools so there’s a scheme you you do
46:59
yeah so there’s a high schools the high
47:01
schools public schools
47:03
yeah so I like that yeah so right up
47:08
this right up the street from me is a
47:10
Boca CA a– high school they call it
47:13
bogie which is what I’m gonna call it
47:14
from now on because that’s just what I’m
47:15
used to going it so you got bogie and
47:17
bogey has a med program an arts program
47:21
and then they’ve got like their general
47:23
school and you have to apply to go there
47:26
then you’ve got a st. Pete Catholic
47:28
which is more of a private but it’s
47:30
still public and you got to apply to go
47:32
there and they’ve got specialized thing
47:34
specialized courses there I believe it’s
47:41
public it may be it may be a private
47:44
school but I know a bunch of my friends
47:45
went there and their family wasn’t like
47:48
Catholic so so I’m not a hundred percent
47:52
sure like I didn’t grow up here so a lot
47:54
of this is just me kind of learning
47:55
about it as I’ve been here but they’re
47:59
all of this all of the high schools if
48:01
you live inside that district I believe
48:06
you are allowed to go there but if you
48:08
live outside of the district you can
48:10
apply to go there and they will accept
48:11
you in and then you just have to find
48:13
your way to school so st. Pete High is
48:18
another one so one of the girls that I
48:21
used today she ended up going to bogey
48:23
she went there for the Arts Department
48:25
her little brother wanted to play
48:27
basketball and I think st. Pete high had
48:30
a better basketball program so he
48:33
applied to go there he didn’t get in
48:36
because he wasn’t good enough feel bad
48:39
for the kid I actually like him but he
48:43
didn’t get in so he ended up going to
48:45
boat he ended up going to Bo
48:46
I think he ended up going to bogey and
48:49
going to school there but you actually
48:51
have to apply to get into the different
48:53
high schools it’s like you’re applying
48:55
for college in eighth grade
48:57
just to put into high school no see
48:59
that’s awesome know that that is a very
49:01
unique thing I’ve heard of different
49:03
regions having that obviously you’re in
49:05
one of them that does just fantastic
49:07
maybe held on to their old ways maybe a
49:11
little bit but you know back in the day
49:14
that’s what it was more or less like it
49:17
was less structured which allowed for
49:19
more freedom and liberty to be able to
49:23
go and try different things I mean cuz
49:25
you know one school might have a better
49:27
band one school might have a better art
49:29
program one school might have a know
49:31
better basketball team one team might
49:33
just have a better a tech curriculum
49:36
these different schools they’re going to
49:38
have different things that appeal to the
49:40
individual and which is one I want to
49:43
get into standardized testings that’s
49:44
thing that irks me most I give up
49:46
on education because it’s the complete
49:50
antithesis to actual individual growth
49:56
it’s standardized using everybody to
49:59
conform to one curriculum and and these
50:04
people only get trained on the
50:08
curriculum that getting tested for and
50:09
these teachers work around the
50:12
parameters of these exams because they
50:15
look better on paper for their students
50:19
having better grade than these exams and
50:22
it’s all the complete farce it’s all all
50:25
– to follow along with the tests now
50:28
here’s my long list I told you I was
50:31
gonna delve into you can stop me
50:34
whatever you want but there are many
50:36
reasons as to why the standardized
50:41
testing is the absolutely most negative
50:46
thing you can do for a child and their
50:49
education growing up all right
50:51
so further ado I’ll continue with
50:57
standardized testing
50:59
is unavoidably biased by social class
51:02
ethnic regional and other cultural
51:04
differences it’s unfair it unfairly
51:08
event the vanette is those who can
51:12
afford to test prep it radically limits
51:15
teacher’s ability to adapt to learn
51:18
differences it provides minimal to no
51:21
useful feedback to classroom teachers
51:25
they are keyed to the deeply flawed
51:30
knowledge framing core curriculum
51:33
adopted in 1893 they have led to the
51:39
neglect of play music and other
51:42
nonverbal ways of learning and that’s
51:44
actually irritating because that that
51:46
allows creativity and all of those
51:48
programs the ones that have seemed not
51:49
essential don’t have to get tested on
51:52
them therefore they let the state
51:54
funding go towards all the other
51:57
standardized PDS it also hides problems
52:03
created by my error complication scoring
52:07
penalize is test takers who think it’s
52:10
non-standard and sorry I ripped that
52:16
incorrectly I was I wasn’t sure if I’d
52:19
lost you forever said ok yeah if
52:24
penalize is test takers who think in
52:26
non-standard ways which young people
52:29
frequently do it gives control of the
52:32
curriculum to test manufacturers which
52:35
is the thing I’ll get into at the end of
52:36
this it encourages use of threats rods
52:39
and other intrinsic motivators to raise
52:42
scores it assumes that what the young
52:44
will need to know in the future is
52:46
already known it you know and so it’s
52:50
exacting you know if everything is
52:53
already there to be known you’re not
52:55
gonna have an open mind to expand and
52:58
try to think about other possibilities
53:01
other things its stifles creativity so
53:05
there’s a school quiz which can be and
53:07
sometimes I manipulated for political
53:09
purposes you want to come yes so real
53:12
toy whatever you
53:13
so um did you ever see the movie The
53:16
Truman Show would Jim Carrey do yes okay
53:21
oh yeah great job yeah yeah yeah great
53:26
movie so they talked about when Truman
53:29
was a kid Truman Burbank when Truman was
53:32
a kid he was in school and they’re like
53:33
what do you want to be he’s like I want
53:35
to be an explorer like the great
53:36
Magellan and the teacher pulls down a
53:38
mountain she goes oh I’m sorry
53:39
everything’s already been discovered
53:41
there’s nothing else to look for
53:43
that’s essentially what they’re doing
53:46
was standard like with these
53:47
standardized testings they’re saying and
53:49
he lived in a bubble happily just
53:51
ignorantly happily animal right he never
53:55
went anywhere right so uh right when you
54:00
were saying that I was just like oh
54:01
that’s like Truman because that’s one of
54:03
my favorite movies it’s one of the
54:04
greatest movies ever made my
54:13
back-testing also creates unreasonable
54:16
pressures to cheat it uses arbitrary
54:19
subjectively set pass/fail cut scores
54:24
they reduced teacher creativity in the
54:28
appeal of teaching as a profession in
54:31
general lesson concerns for and use of
54:36
continuous evaluation have no success in
54:41
life predictive power meaning if you
54:45
failing at a standardized test you gotta
54:48
fail at life you psychologically attain
54:50
that as you go right you unfairly
54:53
channel instructional resources to learn
54:56
is at or near the pass/fail score
54:58
they’re open to scoring errors with
55:01
life-changing consequences standardized
55:04
tests are at odds with deep-seated
55:07
American values about individuality and
55:09
worth which we discussed it creates
55:12
unnecessary stress and negative attitude
55:14
so it’s schooling per pet they
55:16
perpetuate the artificial
55:18
compartmentalization of knowledge by
55:20
field it channels increasing amounts of
55:24
tax money away from classrooms and into
55:26
corporate coffee
55:27
right.you yes waste the vast creative
55:30
potential and human variability walk
55:33
instructional innovations that can’t be
55:35
evaluated by machine unduly reward mayor
55:39
ability to retrieve secondhand
55:40
information from memory they subtract
55:43
the available instructional time they
55:47
lend themselves to gaming strategies to
55:50
improve the success rate of guessing it
55:53
seriously happens I did that for the
55:55
LSAT ID when I just prepared for the
55:57
LSAT a few months ago right we learn in
55:59
the out in the Kaplan LSAT prep courses
56:02
we we use gaming strategies and and that
56:04
definitely helped me out accessible
56:06
decently well let me help that and it
56:09
helped me out significantly so so it you
56:12
know that’s what so what you’re saying
56:15
what you’re saying with that is so so
56:20
what you’re saying there is that when
56:22
they’re teaching you basically how to
56:25
guess better as opposed to actually
56:26
learning the information yeah I remember
56:31
in fourth grade my teacher said like 29%
56:36
of the questions are a usually on the M
56:39
Casas Massachusetts something
56:41
standardized assessment whatever but the
56:44
M Cass the Massachusetts standardized
56:47
test he they knew the rate they came up
56:52
so if we didn’t know the answer he told
56:53
us to select a that’s gaming strategy I
56:55
remember that one explicitly for my own
56:57
use and so you mean that they’re even
57:00
going outside of trait teaching and
57:01
radio curriculum and teaching people how
57:03
to do better on these tests just make
57:05
teachers look good without actually
57:06
teaching actual it’s disgusting
57:10
it if you’re not actually teaching them
57:13
if you’re not actually spending the time
57:15
to teach the knowledge and you’re just
57:17
teaching people to a test or just how to
57:19
take a test not even teaching them they
57:21
teaching them the information on a test
57:23
you’re just saying this is the best way
57:25
to take gg’s right you’re not actually
57:28
teaching them anything and you’re
57:29
putting them out there in this world
57:30
thinking that they’re going to be able
57:32
to guess their way through life or
57:33
they’re going to be able to be given all
57:36
of the answers when everybody knows once
57:41
they
57:41
get out that that’s not the way it works
57:43
and it kinda insinuates to that there
57:46
are ways around things like oh you can
57:47
do a little bit better if you manipulate
57:48
it this way you know what I mean
57:50
probably helps create some integrity
57:53
concerns I mean well I mean that’s how
57:59
we get politicians all right all right
58:08
it’s where was I had this one okay yeah
58:12
they’ve walked instructional innovations
58:14
that can’t be evaluated by machine okay
58:18
yeah it blocked instructional
58:20
innovations that can’t be evaluated by
58:23
machine
58:24
they unduly reward mere ability to
58:26
retrieve secondhand information from
58:28
memory right it’s true actually they
58:31
they subtract from available
58:33
instructional time oh I read that right
58:37
and make time a parameter largely
58:39
unrelated to ability a factor and
58:42
scoring so they teach they also it is
58:49
time teach me how do you manage that
58:51
time on the exam then actually you know
58:56
learn what they need to need in life not
58:59
for the exam they create tests test
59:03
fatigue a version and eventual refusal
59:06
to take tests seriously they hide poor
59:09
quality test items behind secrecy walls
59:11
and what do you mean by secrecy walls
59:16
that’s all I got for right now they high
59:19
quality test items behind secrecy walls
59:24
they they whenever they get results back
59:33
from a group that they just taught that
59:36
year were in the new class coming in the
59:39
other new younger kids great great prior
59:43
they know they were poor on
59:53
they they will concentrate higher on
59:56
those other areas to hide their poor
59:59
quality and and just try at that I don’t
60:03
know how keep that secret up against
60:06
they they they they don’t want the
60:11
school to know that people are dumb and
60:13
they’re not learning math so then they
60:15
are able to teach for the test in math
60:19
but not actually teach them anything
60:21
with a really you know doing bad at all
60:25
comes down to is you know majority of
60:28
these things some of my knew many of
60:30
them are they these teachers educators
60:36
they they teach around the entire exam
60:40
and they the entire curriculum is based
60:43
off a lot of these exams and no
60:47
curriculum in the world so we based off
60:49
of a single exam you think it you think
60:51
the law school prepares you for the LSAT
60:53
know that the LSAT is supposed to be a
60:56
general all-encompassing you know a
61:00
general law Mar exam I mean cuz
61:04
different curriculums at different
61:05
schools they’re all taking the same test
61:06
and they all have similar pasteries and
61:12
you know in high school and in with kids
61:16
growing up these are all detrimental to
61:19
their psyche though and well first of
61:22
all they’re not getting taught and
61:23
secondly they’re getting taught to a one
61:27
objective and one objective only and
61:29
that’s it and so it’s it’s causing a
61:34
complete I mean it’s a waste of time
61:39
teaching not to that’s where not
61:43
teaching and it leads to a lot of other
61:46
issues that is that is actually one of
61:49
the biggest things the that’s actually
61:51
one of the biggest things that I’ve had
61:52
an issue with with education is that
61:54
we’re teaching kids to a test which the
61:56
way that you’ve actually described it is
61:58
we aren’t even in teaching them to a
61:59
test we’re teaching them how to take one
62:01
test right and that actually that makes
62:04
even more
62:06
but when I when I was going through
62:10
school like creative writing was it
62:13
wasn’t pushed on me but like I
62:14
gravitated to it it was it was that was
62:16
what I wanted to do that was what I
62:18
enjoyed doing so that was what I tried
62:20
to do that in all of my classes even
62:22
like math which that explains why I’m
62:26
awful at math now but a squared plus B
62:30
squared equals C squared means
62:32
absolutely nothing to me
62:33
like that does not matter even a little
62:35
bit to me right now I don’t is what I do
62:39
for my everyday job but we work with
62:45
stern algorithms for measurements I’m a
62:48
calibration engineer by trade so okay
62:50
that’s what I do my work does my
62:52
calibrate equipment so when you’re
62:55
working with tolerances and dimension
62:57
that’s all I do
62:57
right so sorry oh you’re fine you’re
63:00
fine but like that all I’ve ever wanted
63:02
to do is be a creative which you know
63:04
that’s why I started writing books and
63:06
that’s like I’ve written screenplays and
63:08
I’ve got you know some movies on IMDB
63:09
and stuff like that and that’s why I do
63:11
what I do here is because that is how I
63:16
that’s where I do my best and that is
63:19
how I learned the best way that I can
63:21
when it’s just here read this take this
63:25
test I don’t actually internalize
63:27
anything I just memorize it for the 30
63:29
minutes that I need to in order to take
63:31
a test and then it’s gone forever
63:34
it was when I was on I don’t know six
63:39
seven through sixth grade seventh grade
63:41
my buddy and I had some after school
63:43
thing and my mom came and we she picked
63:46
us up and she’s given us rides given my
63:49
buddy a ride back home and he and I were
63:52
talking about a TV show that had been on
63:54
the night before and this is when he
63:56
this is back when you had to watch a TV
63:58
show when it was on and then you didn’t
64:00
get a chance to see it again like ever
64:03
so he and I watched the show and then we
64:06
were talking about it in the car and we
64:08
like quoted the entire episode and my
64:11
mom said why can’t you do that at school
64:13
and I said well they don’t make it funny
64:14
and because it’s written I don’t like
64:17
schools not funny but I could have I
64:19
quota an entire episode of Night Court
64:21
with my friend without you know only
64:26
seeing it once and if they would kind of
64:31
be able to tailor education to students
64:33
where where they personally tailor it to
64:37
people like I I know it’s difficult
64:38
because you got a classroom full of kids
64:39
in many of these schools like I’m sorry
64:42
to cut you off right there but the
64:44
connotation Taylor I kind of want to get
64:47
rid of that I want to untie ler educate
64:51
that’s what we want for individuality we
64:53
want we want education to not be
64:56
tailored to a sect goal but I guess you
65:00
can use that term when you mean tailor
65:03
it to you know to open up to various
65:08
different opportunities right various
65:11
different ideas I mean because when
65:13
you’re I don’t know about you when I was
65:15
in eighth grade I kind of knew what I
65:16
wanted I mean I kind of already knew
65:20
what I kind of knew I basically knew
65:22
exactly in eighth grade when I kind of
65:24
knew an 11-3 right you know 12th grade I
65:27
mean I wasn’t much of a difference so
65:29
why can’t you just send a kid to Volk
65:33
school if that’s what he wants to go do
65:35
fresh you know in eighth grade seventh
65:38
eighth grade you know what if you want
65:40
to what if you want to be a farmer you
65:42
know and you don’t not going to use any
65:44
of that math history English and
65:47
you don’t want it you know yeah your
65:49
parents don’t even care to want it and
65:51
you want to learn to be a farmer you
65:53
want to learn how to manage a farm and
65:56
and and and manage a business so see
65:59
some some business courses teach them
66:01
you know ranching you know have this
66:07
there’s a market out there because we’re
66:10
all individuals we all think
66:11
individually there’s a market out there
66:13
for our own thoughts our own
66:15
decision-making it’s just that the
66:18
government took a monopoly on education
66:21
and we don’t have those markets anymore
66:24
the lows the markets all gravitated up
66:27
to college and secondary education right
66:29
where we need them we need them at a
66:31
younger age we
66:33
those odds schools at a younger age
66:34
right we need we need the workshop yeah
66:38
we need the wood shops and we need the
66:40
automotive classes in the farming class
66:42
I don’t know what those are called I’ve
66:43
never had that but those are the ones
66:45
that didn’t get standardized test it
66:47
right those oh they cut the funding for
66:49
them because it was useless race me to
66:52
that right and because and it’s because
66:54
students in New York City don’t need to
66:58
like there 99% of them probably 99.9% of
67:03
them aren’t going to become farmers so
67:05
they don’t need it so that there’s no
67:07
reason to teach it there so you can’t
67:10
put standardized testing on farming in
67:11
New York City where kids in Iowa a
67:15
larger percentage of them are gonna end
67:17
up in farming it’s just that’s the way
67:20
it is like in yeah it’s their own
67:23
personal choices it’s what they have
67:24
chosen to do but it’s for many of them
67:26
it’s what they love to do so because
67:30
these two two areas of the country
67:32
they’re so vastly different in cultural
67:35
makeup in economic makeup and socio
67:39
makeup in all of it because they’re so
67:42
different it’s like oh well we can’t
67:43
teach them the same thing so we need to
67:45
get rid of it out of our all of the
67:46
schools yeah yeah it’s sad actually I
67:51
mean because I mean Illinois is like a
67:53
perfect example for that you have
67:55
Chicago on one end and then you have
67:56
rural yeah the whole of the state and
67:59
and then you’ve got southern Wisconsin
68:01
on the other side right and it’s and
68:06
it’s all I they’re all held to the same
68:09
standards those people in these rural
68:11
farms in Illinois you know like well
68:13
Larry Bird grew up and I they they you
68:18
know they’re held to the same curriculum
68:21
the same standardized testing as Chicago
68:26
kids on it’s it’s completely egregious
68:29
too to keep everybody together and full
68:35
and but I can’t be taught discussed
68:37
early in a conversation we wanted to get
68:39
people to be patriotic and we got that
68:42
but then we didn’t know what the hell
68:43
else to do with us
68:45
so we thought collectively Oh
68:48
standardized testing this thing that
68:50
thing everybody has a new great idea to
68:52
make things better to work on to make
68:54
everybody smarter no no if you let
68:57
everybody think for themselves
68:59
individually
68:59
you would have more intelligent people
69:01
in a broader spectrum of experiences and
69:07
it would only be better for our society
69:10
to have people expanded to all those
69:12
different things and what it does right
69:16
now that it just completely it shuts
69:20
down I have a good article about Forbes
69:22
actually where woops discusses how young
69:32
I am a professor of education in the
69:37
College of William & Mary initiated a
69:43
what’s called a Torrance test and not
69:45
exactly what it is from this test they
69:49
made up it’s a Torrance test of creative
69:51
thinking and the study Raziel from K
69:55
through 12 that children have become
69:56
less emotionally expressive less
69:59
energetic lacks talkative and verbally
70:02
expressive less humorous humorous less
70:05
imaginative less unconventional less
70:07
lively less passionate less perceptive
70:10
less apt to connect seemingly to
70:13
irrelevant things less synthesizing and
70:15
less likely to see things from a
70:17
different angle which is exactly what
70:19
we’re seeing right now and that is
70:21
depressing it’s I mean all those things
70:24
are depressing but also especially
70:27
that’s a key point they brought up
70:28
you’re less apt to be open-minded and
70:31
see things from a different angle and
70:33
they that’s what we have without
70:35
completely bipartisan politics right now
70:37
nobody’s nobody’s in the center and
70:39
anyone nobody with you either one or the
70:43
other
70:43
there’s nothing in between and another
70:47
like and I mean most limited area most
70:52
libertarians I know are extreme on like
70:55
so you know they they’re extreme on all
70:58
of their beliefs
70:58
is that like like you said earlier about
71:00
taxes you know we’re like no taxes we
71:04
don’t want any taller no no but no but
71:12
you’re right so like and and I and I
71:15
know your feelings on taxes like it’s
71:17
the feelings that most of us have on
71:19
them but we get so much
71:21
no but you know libertarians are like no
71:25
taxes and if you as a libertarian or a
71:28
liberty minded individual if you are
71:30
actually in a governmental position and
71:32
you start pitching any sort of
71:35
legislation that has anything to do with
71:37
taxes you you’re just you’re not a
71:41
libertarian you’re you know people are
71:44
like you’re not real libertarian you’re
71:45
a socialist you’re you know you’re evil
71:47
if so like a lot of Liberty minded
71:51
people I’m gonna put that one in big old
71:53
quotes who support Donald Trump who
71:59
right yeah that exact place that’s how I
72:02
that’s what that’s the same face I make
72:04
a lot of Liberty – yeah property ran the
72:07
trumpet aliens yeah who are who forget
72:12
that Justin Amash is one of the most
72:14
principled people in Congress who stands
72:18
for every single thing that you say you
72:20
want to believe in but when he comes out
72:23
and he goes yet I think that the report
72:25
says Donald Trump committed oh god I
72:30
forgot the word where he tried to
72:32
obstruction I think that Donald Trump
72:34
tried to come committed obstruction I
72:38
think that we could move forward with
72:40
impeachment suddenly he’s the devil he
72:43
is the worst thing that’s ever happened
72:44
he has cut for spending he has he has
72:47
stood up for anti war he has stood up
72:49
for guns he has stood up for every
72:51
principle thing that we say we believe
72:53
in but because he’s going against the
72:55
President on this issue which granted is
72:59
a major issue but at least he’s
73:01
principled than everything that he has
73:03
ever done ever stated well one thing a
73:05
lot of a half of libertarians resent I’m
73:07
not – is just rural life but that’s the
73:10
way the biggest that’s the biggest issue
73:12
at 1:00 right but the other half of
73:14
libertarians doing but I mean what I am
73:18
I’m a pro-life libertarian I feel like
73:20
if you’re ripping upon another human
73:22
being that’s pretty egregious and
73:24
against the nap you know pretty
73:26
aggressively against the nap you know if
73:28
you asked me but I also come from a
73:31
family where my mother’s a 17 year old
73:34
crackhead my father was a 19 year old
73:37
piece of drunk me we lived in my own
73:42
civil 17 I couldn’t get out of there
73:45
soon enough
73:45
I needed to and and everybody in my life
73:50
that I held dearest to me wanna me
73:52
killed everybody wanted me killed my
73:54
mother kept me and I and that’s why I
73:56
over my life my mother didn’t kill me
73:59
and at that time it was still so it was
74:01
just becoming socially acceptable and
74:03
and not a big deal and she was the
74:06
epitome of somebody who should have
74:08
aborted somebody and killed me but I’m
74:12
here and I’m happy to be here and I know
74:14
all these other kids that are killed
74:15
they want to be here too right
74:17
that’s my stance emotion yeah so I’m god
74:23
I’ve never said why I have a mouse comes
74:25
from and oh because he takes science no
74:28
mosh and mas looks at the science and he
74:31
actually is one that got me into it
74:33
because he discussed about what a baby
74:35
feels at 12 weeks which is the average
74:37
it’s 12 to 14 weeks to the average of
74:40
wadding period right at 12 weeks a baby
74:43
feels pain has a nervous system has a
74:45
brain as all vital organs starting to
74:48
adjust food can move his hands and limbs
74:50
has a beating heart and it’s actually
74:54
starting to learn already and when the
74:56
forceps I saw the video and this is real
74:59
and this is what freaks people out when
75:01
actually you explain it
75:02
Hey sorry to do this from your podcast
75:04
but but when the forceps going to rip
75:08
the baby apart the baby squirms it moves
75:12
around it knows that things there that
75:14
shouldn’t be and it scrubs away from it
75:16
and my name gets its first limb ripped
75:20
off it it screams out in pain it’s
75:25
called the silent scream
75:26
don’t hear it but it’s most certainly
75:28
felt right and and that’s that’s a
75:32
person that’s being married and that’s
75:35
that’s my taken I’m pushing I’m
75:37
pro-choice everything but murder isn’t a
75:40
choice I mean technically with that
75:42
rationale like my son under a blanket
75:43
kill him in the blanket nobody saw it
75:46
nobody heard it that’s cool right well I
75:51
really hope you don’t do that no yes so
75:59
like I’ve I’ve actually somehow
76:02
miraculously never actually had talked
76:04
about this on the show like stones
76:08
oh yeah well other people have talked
76:12
about it but like I’ve just never done
76:14
it but so like I don’t do it no no no
76:20
I’m like so I’m I’m goddamnit
76:24
so no no you don’t have to yes no it’s
76:31
fine so I am more on the page of the
76:35
heartbeat bill was I think once the
76:38
heartbeats there that is when there
76:40
should be a cutoff that is where I’m
76:43
sort of mash that’s kind of that’s kind
76:48
of where I am once you get the heartbeat
76:49
that’s what like yeah I understand that
76:51
once once the sperm and the egg need and
76:54
suddenly it’s a it’s a different DNA
76:57
it’s it’s something different but I
76:59
think their hat there’s got to be I
77:02
don’t know if that qualifies yet but
77:04
once it gets the heartbeat
77:05
once it has the heartbeat that’s where
77:08
I’m like okay that’s that’s a separate
77:10
entity you do not have two words you do
77:14
not have a few hearts yeah exactly your
77:16
body doesn’t have too hot so it doesn’t
77:18
have two brains four hands four feet you
77:22
know four legs it’s you know and your
77:25
body your choice but that’s not your
77:27
blood right and that body wants that
77:30
body wants to live you know and then
77:34
then then you have the man oh all right
77:38
after this we’ll move on because it just
77:41
it gets me every time
77:42
the new laws you know being able to
77:46
avoid kill kids when they’re born I mean
77:51
I don’t even know what I’m still lost
77:56
for its with it like Cuomo I I hope
78:00
somebody’s ass tonight some I do
78:04
we here at muddied waters do not condone
78:08
the assassination of any political
78:10
figure and what Brian McDonald says is
78:15
not what yeah yeah so I so yeah I
78:24
totally disagree with I definitely just
78:27
agree with late term abortions and the
78:30
Virginia law where once they’re born we
78:33
can make a decision like that’s not a
78:35
lot I don’t think that were actually
78:36
signed it the greatest thing that
78:39
happened to Governor Northam in Virginia
78:41
is the blackface controversy because the
78:43
that took away from all of the abortion
78:45
controversy and now we aren’t even
78:48
talking about like that was a crazy two
78:51
weeks in Virginia with the abortion
78:52
controversy the blackface controversy
78:54
and then Justin Fairfax Justin Fairfax
78:58
possibly raping people when he was
79:00
younger like but none of that’s heard of
79:03
it all of that’s gone I was thinking
79:04
about that the other day I was like none
79:06
of that’s heard of anymore yeah it’s
79:09
funny though it’s funny though that the
79:11
media the blackface thing that went on
79:14
for two days that was anybody in the
79:16
right oh my god that guy would be out of
79:18
office oh yeah instantly yeah exactly
79:24
yeah I couldn’t believe that yeah yeah
79:28
so like I think that anybody that’s
79:30
saying you know late term abortion is
79:32
fine or especially when Northam is going
79:34
out there going you know after they’re
79:36
born we can put them aside and you a
79:39
decision can be made that means that
79:42
you’re thinking about killing a living
79:44
being I don’t care how you’re framing it
79:47
I don’t care what you’re trying to say
79:49
to make it better that is what you are
79:51
saying in that moment and the question
79:54
is where between a late-term between
79:58
being born to a late-term abortion like
80:02
the difference between that is you know
80:04
literally hours and at what point do you
80:09
draw your line on when it’s okay if
80:11
you’re saying not until that baby’s out
80:13
then you and I probably are not going to
80:15
be great friends right if you’re saying
80:18
you know in the first trimester if
80:22
you’ve got decent arguments maybe I can
80:24
like get my head around it like I’m not
80:26
gonna like ruin a friendship over I’m
80:28
just never going to talk about in with
80:29
you but for me it’s I’ve some friends
80:34
like that as well yeah but for me it’s
80:36
the heartbeat like for me it’s the
80:37
heartbeat if there’s a heartbeat that’s
80:39
a separate human being it’s it is
80:42
pumping its own life through its body
80:46
and there’s not much more of a more
80:48
national argument than that I mean I
80:53
mean they try to argue sentient being
80:57
all that you know I mean you know no eye
81:03
has been Shapiro’s because then the
81:05
majority the a pro-choice the e they
81:08
agree with child support well guess who
81:11
pays 99 percent of child’s men do okay
81:15
so they’re saying that they’re okay with
81:18
men not having the decision to not pay
81:20
child support what if the men wanted to
81:22
do it for what the kid what if they
81:23
wanted you know what if they wanted to
81:25
kill that child and they do not be
81:26
responsible for it but the state makes
81:28
them when the state can’t meet if you
81:30
not kill you kid I’m confused the
81:33
Apocrypha everywhere I don’t know yeah
81:37
via speaking system that’s all I ask
81:39
right and via I mean the men the men’s
81:43
right movements and red pilling and all
81:45
of that is a completely different
81:47
episode that we can one time do because
81:51
you know that’s a good point I go down a
81:53
lot yeah like that that is a completely
81:56
different episode yeah but I can go and
82:03
I’ve gone into depth with monopoly
82:05
speaking I want to say one last thing
82:07
okay let’s stop I want to say one last
82:11
thing about abortion and it’s it’s
82:13
economically related all right
82:16
not many people pay attention to the
82:18
economics in America and what exactly is
82:20
going on and this and that
82:23
don’t even want to get into it but
82:26
what’s happening right now as we have a
82:29
population crisis and it’s the negative
82:32
of what you think we’re not over
82:35
populating with deep talk depopulating
82:38
we’re with our jobs we’re not gonna have
82:41
enough people to fill the amount of jobs
82:45
that are gonna be have available they’re
82:47
talking about why our unemployment rate
82:49
so low it’s gonna stay so low not
82:51
because we’re a great economy not
82:52
because we’re making great economic
82:54
sound decisions and government they’re
82:56
all bad decisions what what’s happening
83:00
is we’re not having enough kids to fill
83:02
the jobs that are already there because
83:04
baby boomers
83:04
iname still aren’t even close to
83:07
completely retired and once they are
83:10
we’re gonna economically collapse
83:12
completely we’re not gonna have enough
83:14
jobs to fill they I mean we’re not to
83:16
have enough people to fill those jobs
83:17
that’s why I’m for one of two major
83:19
things completely opening the border so
83:22
we can get all those low-wage workers in
83:24
here to take those other jobs or we can
83:27
start killing our kids and you know
83:31
millions over the past few years and and
83:34
allow them to live so we can actually
83:36
keep our good stick quality of life that
83:39
we want because it’s going to degrade
83:41
one way or the other so that’s the
83:44
economic approach for that as well right
83:50
yeah I got somebody on here that I’ve
83:54
never talked about abortion within he’s
83:55
commenting going no with a bunch of OHS
83:58
I yeah I tried I tried that’s gonna get
84:04
me some bad press too but yeah I don’t
84:08
really care when it comes to that cuz
84:09
I’m very passionate about that song no I
84:11
get it
84:12
the people you see the people who have
84:14
survived abortions and that kind
84:16
the Ron Paul story about when he saw an
84:18
abortion and it was in his book chapter
84:25
14 I think but yeah he talked about
84:29
seeing an abortion and he and seeing
84:31
that they threw the bit was when an
84:32
abortion was illegal he saw an abortion
84:34
happen and abortion was throw an aborted
84:36
baby was found in a bucket and like it
84:39
was a lot he was like it was alive and
84:40
that was the moment that I knew I would
84:42
never be pro-choice and kind of reading
84:46
that I was like I can’t I can’t argue
84:51
this I can’t argue yeah I can’t argue
84:54
against this when do you see it or
84:56
experience a she I experienced it and I
84:59
saw the video and when I saw the baby
85:03
you know squirming away and then gasping
85:07
in pain I was like holy I mean
85:10
that’s whatever I mean cuz I kind of I
85:12
wasn’t accepting of it because of my
85:14
wife experience but I was willing to
85:20
deal with it I guess until I saw that
85:24
video I just came really animate about
85:27
it and so I just try to refrain talking
85:29
about it with people that obviously
85:32
aren’t open discuss about it or at least
85:35
similar minded as myself education
85:45
before I start dropping other pieces of
85:48
information about my personal life that
85:51
I don’t create myself here and I want to
85:56
discuss a couple key points real quick
85:58
where it’s coming into being a complete
86:02
not even what I teach my kids we went
86:04
over how it’s you know Santa’s testing
86:09
is degrading quality education to get
86:10
rid of all the other programs we don’t
86:13
have free market of school and we can go
86:16
to different schools the programs all
86:18
that stuff and now this is where it gets
86:19
into the minor economic part and from
86:24
stats that I have here this is from the
86:26
Friedman foundation
86:27
thank you guys they’re great free spot
86:29
foundations great from 1992 to 2009
86:34
students numbers increased 17% okay
86:37
rational with Paula population over the
86:40
years whereas the administrators and
86:44
other non teaching staff grows 46% so
86:50
students only rose 17% and teachers and
86:55
other staff non-teaching staff rose 46%
86:58
right what’s the reasoning I mean we I
87:02
mean that’s just in two decades you know
87:07
during that period – some states even
87:10
lost some students it kept hiring more
87:12
teachers that own this he his his little
87:18
shot I can show you from 1950 to 2009
87:23
the growth in students so how many years
87:27
is that 50 almost 60 years right 59
87:30
years 96 fury that yeah so you got
87:38
students 96% teachers 250 2%
87:42
administration and other staff 702
87:45
percent growth 702 % that’s consistent
87:52
right right
87:53
that’s existent that there’s that really
87:56
famous there’s a really famous graph
87:58
where they show testing scores for math
88:02
math English and something else I can’t
88:06
remove thirds from from the onset of the
88:10
Department of Education til two thousand
88:13
three or four and the test scores kind
88:16
of stayed level you know they kind of
88:17
went up they went down they went up they
88:18
went down but not not a lot and then
88:21
they showed number of teachers being
88:22
hired and that number was roughly just
88:27
about the same level as that graph was
88:29
you know about a hundred and twenty-five
88:31
percent or whatever that one said and
88:32
then number of administrators and
88:35
non-teaching staff being hired was shot
88:37
way up
88:39
and people are wondering why we’re
88:42
spending so much money on education and
88:43
that’s the reason why we’re spending
88:45
money on bureaucrats we’re spending
88:46
money on people who are actually helping
88:50
to do anything they’re just telling
88:52
people what they’re doing other jobs to
88:54
get their friends hired to get other
88:57
other friends on the job and it’s just
88:59
getting more and more people to be
89:00
relying out of state out of the private
89:03
force in the market and in just more
89:05
state jobs which I mean it’s it’s
89:07
complete black hole I mean that they
89:11
provide nothing absolutely nothing and
89:14
we pay exponential amounts for it I mean
89:18
ninety-six percent increase so twice the
89:21
amount of increase in students seven
89:25
times the amount of increase in
89:26
administrators in 2.5 the amount of
89:29
increase and teachers that is abhorrent
89:32
it that’s disgusting
89:34
it’s insane and the effect that people
89:35
are like we need to spend more money on
89:37
education it’s like why our test numbers
89:39
aren’t going up if and aye-aye-aye
89:44
teachers hate me when I say this they’re
89:46
laying down there like we we deserve
89:51
more money we have the toughest job in
89:53
the world you know we’re we’re the ones
89:55
that are teaching the future of America
89:57
and in my head I’m like I know you’re
89:58
not but I’m like okay you deserve more
90:02
money and they’re like yes we deserve
90:04
more money and I said if you get more
90:05
money are you gonna teach better like
90:09
are you not teaching to your fullest
90:10
capacity right now right I know that’s
90:16
one of those things you don’t even know
90:17
anything there’s gonna make more money
90:18
and that’s it
90:19
nothing’s gonna change right you know to
90:23
paraphrase and Milton Friedman right
90:24
here
90:25
he says government organizations like
90:27
public schools replace progress and
90:29
greater efficiency the stagnation and
90:32
higher cost and generally substitute
90:34
uniform mediocrity for the variety
90:36
essentially essential for what
90:39
experimentation which can bring
90:41
tomorrow’s leg laggards above today’s
90:44
mean and lead to greater organizational
90:47
efficiency there’s an absolute fallacy
90:51
that’s that’s the initial mindset it
90:53
like on face value the facade people
90:55
think throw more money at it roll more
90:57
this at it and it’s gonna work and it’s
91:00
not the case that’s not the case
91:02
whatsoever
91:03
it’s having individual free thought free
91:08
exchange of ideas and people have freely
91:12
being able to choose their own education
91:13
to choose where they want to go to
91:16
school to choose what they want to study
91:18
to choose what they want to have for
91:19
teachers for Christ’s sake you know if
91:22
you’re a public school you have a bad
91:23
teacher and you totally apparent there’s
91:25
nothing we can do about it
91:26
literally nothing No and yeah it’s that
91:31
it’s that now other thing I wanted to
91:40
bring up before we went to other things
91:45
is about the overreach that Department
91:51
of Education and what the government and
91:53
all the state organizations do to
91:58
families and the core construct of
92:01
families and family life in America we
92:06
will literally having good mothers good
92:08
parents that want a home school that
92:11
kids and in the state is coming and
92:15
taking their kids away and sending them
92:17
away right here I mean for example I
92:19
have so we the Kings right here the
92:32
Kings from New York they’re from New
92:34
York City right I read this whole story
92:37
and go deep into it but they have five
92:40
kids beautiful family african-american
92:44
family in New York obviously from from
92:47
not from money but they dress like it
92:51
they the father’s really really tries
92:56
his best to be the best man he can and
93:00
he’s he worked really hot and he had a
93:02
smart wife who’s a teacher
93:04
and he made enough money apparently to
93:06
go allow them to stay at home and so
93:09
they could she could teach the kids
93:11
during the day and they got everything
93:15
they got the state license they got
93:16
thing they got the curriculum from the
93:18
school they they they followed all the
93:20
guy they got the approvals they followed
93:22
all the guidelines all it took was a
93:24
neighbors complained about them
93:27
complaining about the neighbor and when
93:31
the cops showed up to the house they saw
93:33
paper towels on the ground and said that
93:36
and that was cuz of a leak from upstairs
93:38
and the neighbors apartment and so the
93:41
cop went in in told DSS that the kids
93:48
living in squalor and that they’re naked
93:50
and the there’s newspaper ruffled all
93:55
over the house feel like I was naked
93:58
from the cop was there was the one year
93:59
old who was in a diaper and and so I
94:03
wish I print out a picture of this
94:04
family so I can show you but so what I
94:08
came down to is that the parents had to
94:12
go and drop their kids off at the pool
94:13
house there’s some under the courthouse
94:15
they said they’re gonna have the kids
94:17
ripped out of their their home they
94:18
didn’t bring the kids to the courthouse
94:20
and so they made the decision not for
94:24
the kids to that traumatic experience
94:27
went down to the courthouse and drop the
94:30
kids off to get taken from them and they
94:33
had to deal with that and just walk away
94:35
and it’s it’s I have five other articles
94:40
here I’m running and get into but of
94:42
good families of great parents that that
94:46
have want the best for their kids is
94:48
what the hell they’re getting them out
94:49
of public school in the first place
94:51
right and and in these that the state is
94:55
so reliant on people’s dependence of
95:00
itself that it’s just it’s willing to
95:05
waste tax more tax dollars put these
95:08
kids into foster homes and separate them
95:10
from good parents to put them back into
95:12
public schools it’s depressing it’s
95:15
really really sad it is too
95:17
so my sister lives in Philly
95:22
she lives in Philly and the schooling
95:25
system in Philly not the best and you
95:28
didn’t know that it’s not a great
95:32
schooling system classes are overcrowded
95:35
they teach basically – they teach
95:37
basically – the tests even at the young
95:41
age of the of my nephew and so she
95:45
pulled them out and started doing home
95:46
schooling and that was actually
95:48
something I was concerned of late my
95:51
sister and her baby daddy there there
95:55
are good parents you know they care
95:58
about the kids I disagree with them on
96:00
what they’re teaching them but they’re
96:03
good parents like they care and it has
96:08
always been my concern that somebody
96:11
would complain about them keeping their
96:13
kids from school and they would in like
96:15
something like that would happen because
96:16
in a city like Philadelphia that I did I
96:22
could see that happening somebody puts
96:24
in a complaint feelings like we know
96:26
better than you your kids need to be
96:28
going to public school so we’re gonna
96:29
end up taking we’re gonna end up taking
96:31
your kids from you so they can go get an
96:33
education in our public school system
96:35
and then the kids get lost and in the
96:37
public school system it’s so sad you
96:41
know that family by the way hasn’t seen
96:43
their kids in two years that’s awful two
96:46
years all five of the kids yeah
96:49
and one was a not even one just turn one
96:54
you know getting raised without the
96:56
public and which I actually like that
97:00
article I pulled up because they they
97:02
want to talk about long hauls program
97:05
they’ve heard about that yeah yeah the
97:08
Ron Paul kiraku yep yeah yeah I mean
97:11
I’ve actually read it through and
97:12
through it’s awesome it really
97:14
concentrates on civics and in everything
97:20
else everything else is in it but the
97:22
key key core that’s missing is civics
97:24
and in history and that’s where that’s
97:28
where society and
97:30
of people as you know you know our
97:34
society which is what we learned from my
97:36
mistake we look back they astray see
97:41
where we went wrong certain policies and
97:43
we correct those but instead and we
97:45
don’t do that at all you know we don’t
97:47
even teach it we don’t want people think
97:49
about right yeah and that’s in I believe
97:55
it was Winston Churchill who said if we
97:57
don’t learn from the mistakes of our
97:59
past where we’ll be doomed to repeat him
98:00
I could be wrong I think it was him and
98:03
that is kind of what we’re forcing upon
98:05
each other or forcing upon our students
98:08
upon their children by not teaching them
98:12
history by not teaching them civics by
98:15
not teaching them the way that all of
98:16
this works because they’re not going to
98:19
know about the mistakes that were made
98:21
they’re not going to know about the
98:23
failures of the government from the last
98:25
150 hundred and sixty years they’re just
98:29
gonna say oh no the government’s good
98:30
the government’s good we need the
98:32
government and it is because of that
98:35
that when you end up having so many
98:37
we’re gonna end up having more issues
98:39
later on as these kids grow and get into
98:42
leadership roles yep yep and that also
98:47
comes back to the you know the
98:50
dependency that herd mentality I mean we
98:52
I mean by this construct the Department
98:55
of Education I mean we’re completely
98:57
altering the psyche of entire generation
99:02
but well I mean in to the point where we
99:08
don’t even have control like the Social
99:11
Work is in these CPS cases and stuff I
99:14
mean they willed massive massive power
99:17
over these families to the point where
99:19
they can’t do anything I mean they might
99:22
be able to get reason with but it’s only
99:24
if you play ball that’s only if you play
99:25
their game and and and and say yes I’m
99:30
gonna do this to make myself better I am
99:33
going to you know I’m gonna go to AAA
99:36
I’m gonna go to counseling which is more
99:39
tax wasted dollars because that’s
99:40
provided through the state and and but
99:42
tons
99:43
those programs and and you have to play
99:46
that game and do that just to get you
99:47
kids back and and as a member as a
99:51
person who has done a a I understand
99:55
that it works for some people but yeah I
99:59
wasn’t even saying a putting a negative
100:01
connotation to it they a no I’m just
100:03
saying the dictation well you’d have to
100:09
technically willfully do it but you’re
100:11
doing it to get you kids back right and
100:13
so what I got arrested when I was 19
100:16
years old I got arrested when I was 19
100:19
years old for possession of marijuana
100:20
and they made me yeah
100:23
and they made me go to they forced me to
100:28
go to either Narcotics Anonymous or
100:31
Alcoholics Anonymous classes and I had
100:34
to do that for two years I had to do
100:37
that and I had to come like when I went
100:38
into my probation officer I had to bring
100:41
in slips signed by people from AAA now
100:44
yes for two years I had to do that and
100:51
the only thing what I learned very very
100:54
quickly
100:55
is that it’s called Alcoholics Anonymous
100:59
which means I could sign any name to
101:03
these papers that I wanted as long as
101:05
they were in different handwriting’s so
101:08
like I found a way around it but I’m
101:11
certain that if it had to do with me
101:13
trying to get kids back it would have
101:15
been a much more intensive thing no and
101:18
that’s what one of these these issues
101:20
states this mother in Massachusetts in
101:25
Springfield had her kids taken away from
101:28
her I don’t know I look at the whole
101:35
articles yeah I was reported somehow she
101:38
was reported and she got caught with you
101:42
know a few grams of pot on her and it
101:46
was still illegal in Massachusetts is
101:48
rightfully decriminalize it this is like
101:50
15 years ago
101:51
that’s choosing one of the first states
101:52
actually you need criminalize it but
101:54
it’s right before the decriminalized it
101:56
she I don’t know did did like two weeks
101:59
a thirty days something like that but
102:02
then by the end of it
102:05
DSF get into her house and and took her
102:09
kids both of it does she smoke pot and
102:14
she didn’t see her kids for I think it
102:18
was uh two point five years and then
102:21
something else happened and she couldn’t
102:24
see them flick another year after that
102:25
so it’s like three point five years you
102:26
can see your kids because because of
102:28
because of a few grams pot it’s so bad
102:32
and and oh and the kicker is this is
102:35
right before the decriminalized it while
102:38
that crap was still going on like she
102:40
couldn’t steer kids it terminal eyes
102:42
she’s still good to see your kids that’s
102:47
like the stories that’s awful in this
102:48
great that’s like that’s like the
102:53
stories that you hear now about the
102:54
people who got busted for selling weed
102:58
however many years ago and now weeds
103:00
legal in their state and they’re still
103:01
sitting in jail like and and the people
103:06
who are out there defending it and
103:08
they’re saying oh well you shouldn’t
103:09
have done the crime if you can’t do the
103:10
time and you know this is whatever I I
103:12
don’t care
103:13
late it’s a it’s not only doesn’t
103:18
dictate morality exactly I mean I mean
103:21
the the Nazis thought they were their
103:24
moral listen to Hitler look how look how
103:27
moral was killing all the Jews I mean I
103:30
was I mean if you if you think that law
103:35
and law enforcement can dictate and
103:38
force morality I I kind of think of you
103:41
as the sort of a moral person because
103:46
you think a higher authority is whatever
103:51
fits and you say you you you think that
103:55
morality and what is right is whatever
103:57
an authority tells you what it is and
104:00
that’s that I mean that’s what our
104:02
culture is gravitated to we just really
104:05
have it shouldn’t have ever been that
104:07
way right I mean
104:09
and that in that that comes from
104:12
generations of people going we need to
104:15
get back to and this is both on the
104:18
right and the left but generations of
104:20
people be like so my parents you know
104:22
they’re boomers so they are of that
104:25
mindset of we need to get back to that
104:27
what they’re boomers they we need to get
104:31
back to that to the American standards
104:34
that were in place in the 1950s and 60s
104:37
you know when when people were moral we
104:39
need to get back to that moral backbone
104:40
because without that moral backbone
104:42
America loses itself but you can’t I
104:45
think that but you can’t you can’t
104:48
dictate that by government it wasn’t
104:50
dictated by government back then it just
104:52
was when you started saying you can’t do
104:54
these things was when people wanted to
104:56
do them yep know exactly you know and a
105:03
psychology trick right there but also
105:06
and that’s what the government did they
105:09
destroyed the nuclear family because the
105:13
nuclear family instead of relying on
105:15
itself and each other they gained
105:17
reliance on the state so where even the
105:20
head of the household the parents act in
105:24
the past that the parents were head of
105:28
the household what mom and dad said what
105:31
mom and pop says goes and that’s how you
105:34
listen to that’s who you listen to you
105:36
to follow morality your parents are
105:38
going to teach morality but no you
105:40
gravitated towards the state right but
105:47
so um we are actually way over time it’s
105:58
a yeah we wait I know I looked down and
106:05
I was like holy crap we’re at an hour 45
106:07
I didn’t realize that I’ve been going on
106:13
that long I’m gonna have to bring you
106:16
back on at a separate time to like
106:18
continue this discussion because this is
106:21
go this
106:21
turn into like a four or five-hour thing
106:23
if we just keep going
106:29
[Music]
106:39
I do kind of like one generalize know
106:48
that we people should at least take away
106:51
from my discussion about it you know and
106:55
I say what I say is this sadly as long
106:57
as we allow the government to it any
107:00
level to exercise monopolistic control
107:03
over the education of our children and
107:05
as long as we allow law to trump the
107:09
parents plans for the education of their
107:12
children then this tragic tale will be
107:15
told again and again across this once
107:18
free country yes that is the best way
107:24
that you could have put that that is
107:26
absolutely the best way you could have
107:27
put that do you have I’d something fell
107:34
behind me I don’t know what it was um do
