SPEAKER_01 (00:05):
Monday.
Yep.
Time to win.
All right.
Let's uh get this Monday gamestarted.
You know, when moral panicensues on a schoolhouse
(00:26):
battleground, because it's onlyabout Donald Trump and how they
can try and take the school yardand turn it into a propaganda
framework.
Every generation believes it'suniquely and morally different.
Every generation believes itsfears are justified.
(00:49):
And every generation withoutfail eventually discovers how it
overreach.
This isn't a you know thecynicism that history repeats.
But today we're told that DonaldJ.
Trump, President of the UnitedStates, is not just
controversial or just divisive,but is the seed of white
(01:11):
supremacy itself in the UnitedStates today.
The accusation now finds its wayinto the Illinois classrooms and
probably many others that wedon't yet know about, by
administrative memo memos,campus discussions, class of
teachers offering programs, uhsometimes often without
(01:34):
evidence, sometimes withoutrigor, and definitely without
any restraint.
And when schools become thestage for unproven political
accusation, sometimes thisbecomes very deeply dangerous as
it's happening, and as we'veseen today throughout the
country.
(01:55):
Because schools where societiesdecide what's true before
students are allowed to decidewhat's for themselves.
It becomes a paradigm betweenmoral leverage over the
teachers, like Illinois schools,like across America, become
political theater.
Not because the studentsdemanded it, not because the
(02:15):
parents voted for it, butbecause the institutions have
learned that it's a verypowerful tool on how to morally
sway a generation and wrap thearguments of children into its
new world order.
So schools that used to offerskepticism now claim violence.
(02:37):
The administrators used to saywe're a safe zone.
Now it feels it's got the moralhigh ground to disbar the
current administration as itsees fit, as if it was an
elected body dragging unprovenaccusations, especially those
(02:57):
tied to extremism, into oureducation system.
Parents lose trust,administrators lose once again
credibility, teachers becomeenforcers rather than educators,
and the real extremists, threatsbecome harder and harder to
identify.
SPEAKER_00 (03:16):
David, how about
you?
Well, Stuart, you were talkingabout schools in general, but
will it?
There's a school, a Universityof Illinois, Urbana Champaign.
There's a course, a first-yearcourse, Ed UC201.
It's an education course forfirst semester students titled,
get this, Identity anddifference in education.
So just from the title alone,we've discovered once again that
(03:39):
this is what we do in schools iswe bring identity politics into
the classroom.
And again, it's pushing thisnarrative that in society
there's this white supremacythat keeps coming back again and
again.
And it hasn't gone away.
And when you think about it,we're, you know, this is this
(04:02):
movement's going on for a long,long time.
And the more we try to, andwe'll talk about this in our
year in review next week.
But let me tell you something.
Woke isn't dead.
Woke is being put even more iningrained in the classroom than
ever before.
And university professors arejust happy to brainwash,
(04:26):
indoctrinate, sway kids becausethey're at the most
impressionable stage of theirlives.
18, 19, 20-year-old students arebeing told that if you want to
graduate from my class and youwant to get an A, guess what you
got to do?
You got to follow thesedoctrines.
And it's incredible to hearthat, and then when you sit in a
classroom, you know, theconversations go along the lines
(04:48):
of illegal immigration.
And the professor stands thereand says, No human is being is
illegal.
And he says, Language matters.
And I agree, words do matter.
I've said that my entire life,but we're saying that saying it
the same words, but the diff fordifferent reasons.
They want to remove labels andyet put labels, right?
(05:11):
They want to remove the illegalalien label, but put the label
on Donald Trump that he's awhite supremacist.
Hmm.
Interesting.
But all the other part isembrace there's a thing, embrace
using human humanizing languagewhen talking about immigrant
communities that don't havedocumentation.
Consider using the language ofillegal undocumented.
(05:32):
Oh my god, did we learn nothingin the last number of years when
you watered down language?
Yes, they're undocumented, butthe word illegal has a reason.
Is because if you assume thatevery person that crosses that
border is a good person, I'mwilling to give you the
undocumented.
But what we've seen time andtime and time and time again,
(05:54):
since January 20th, how manythousands and thousands of
illegal immigrants were here whoare criminals, drug dealers,
murderers, rapists, terrorists,and you're sitting here today
saying we should treat the ballthe same.
SPEAKER_01 (06:11):
David, um you know,
listen, his history is what I'm
going to throw at to a historymajor like yourself.
This has happened before.
You have the 1950s, which wastypically called the Red Scare
in the United States, where youknow teachers were, you know,
(06:33):
basically convinced thatcommunists were everywhere, and
some teachers were actuallymembers of the communist
parties.
And so teachers lost their job,actors were blacklisted, careers
were ended, right?
Because there were real Sovietspies.
Yes.
Was there hysteria?
Yes.
Were innocent people also?
(06:53):
Yes.
It happened again in the SatanicPanic in the 1980s and 90s,
where daycare workers wereaccused of ritual abuse, you
know, or 9-11 overreach.
I mean, this has been uh, youknow, schools have been
weaponized throughout history.
However, the weaponization ofwhite supremacy is purely evil
(07:18):
on the on the behest of theDemocratic Party.
It's trying to take the people'strust in education and turn it
on its head, further dividingthe country into a dual
education system where people onthe right want to have their
kids educated one way, andpeople on the left want them
(07:40):
educated on the other.
Literally splitting the countryin two, which, as we've
discussed over the last fiveyears, is one of the
cornerstones of creating anarchyin a country and destroying the
moral foundations of which 250years have basically been the
greatest country on earth.
(08:02):
David, it cheapens the real evilbecause the labels, the labels
are being used by extremists.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:10):
But but but look, I
I know that, and and I know
that, Stuart.
And again, I I teach atuniversity level and I've seen
it, and I know the power behindthe classroom, I know the power
labels, I know all this kind ofstuff.
But it's just incredible to tella bunch of 18, 19, and
20-year-olds that people whocome here who are criminals
should be treated the same aspeople who are seeking real
(08:33):
refugee status.
Why?
What is that kind of nonsense?
You know, if all if you believeall people are good, then how do
you say on the other side ofyour mouth that Donald Trump is
the in is evil incarnate?
You you you you do the the theinteresting thing is the is the
is if you're on my side, you'rea good person.
(08:55):
If you disagree with me, you'rea bad person.
Again, take the labels off here,put them here.
This is what they're teaching ina classroom.
Stuart, according to a Yalestudy in 2018, there were
between 16 and 29 millionillegal immigrants.
That's before the Bidenadministration had the open door
immigration policy.
If you are telling me thatthat's what's in the United
(09:17):
States, and you're telling meeven 10% of those 22 million on
average people are here, areeven 5%.
We'll go with 5%.
That 1 million are good or badpeople, they're criminals.
That's a million people.
Folks, that's the size of asmall city.
(09:39):
And if you're telling me thatyou're okay with that and they
should not be labeled, there is,I believe, there's something
very wrong with you.
Because to allow criminals andsay criminals are just, you
know, listen, you can't blamethe criminals because it's just,
you know, a response to whitesupremacy.
It's just the way it should be.
And then in this class, they'retelling you how to act with ICE
(10:03):
agents.
If there's something morallywrong in a classroom that has to
be shut down, it's teachingstudents to defy the law.
To even if you disagree with thelaw, and there are many laws in
the books that you can takeanybody and say, I don't agree,
but it's still the law.
And if you're telling me, no,we're gonna not only defy it,
(10:25):
but we're gonna shoot at ICEagents, we're gonna attack ICE
agents, we're gonna create thisis what you're teaching students
in a classroom.
And then you wonder when they'restanding up there in those
protests where they're makingthose insane remarks.
Your children, ladies andgentlemen, are being brainwashed
in a classroom.
(10:45):
They're being brainwashed by apowerful individual who holds
their careers in their handsbecause students know that if
their GPA gets hurt, they can'tgo to master's school, they
can't get a job, and thereforethey must agree with the
professor, they must concur, andthey must write these insane
papers and agree, and also, insome cases, join in protests or
(11:10):
they will fail the class.
SPEAKER_01 (11:12):
Go figure, David,
because one truth becomes
optional, power decides reality,and that's what history tells us
without exception, that's how itworks, and that's how it ends.
We can condemn real extremismwithout inventing it, we can
(11:35):
protect students withoutindoctrinating them, we can
debate fiercely withoutabandoning evidence.
I talk about news and media withyou every single week.
I bring up historical reportersthat covered both sides by
statements being made.
(11:56):
You can't have the truth withoutunderstanding both sides.
Where the left is erroring andwhere the generation is being
manipulated is because one sideunderstands that that's the
truth, and they don't want thetruth out there, they want the
(12:16):
control, and by them havingcontrol, they feel that they can
divide a nation and remold itthe way that it wants.
David, I I I stand here today onthe 22nd of December with you,
coming to the end of yet anotheryear of us pointing out the
(12:38):
simple truth.
Now, you and I do this sometimesin a joking, jovial way,
bringing media points to thereal world, the real way.
Drinking coffee, drinking water,and and and going at each other
with with ideas.
What they're doing in theclassroom is not this.
This is what breeds good moralbehavior.
(13:02):
This is what breeds freethought.
This is what breeds a goodnation.
This breeds any country, thisbreeds a classroom.
When a teacher intervenes with apolitical motive, it destroys
the moral fabric of alleducation.
Listen, you know, and so thatwas the point I'm trying to get
(13:22):
to.
You know, because again, we'vebeen doing this week after week,
bringing these ideas up dayafter day, posting about them
every single year.
Yet it seems every single monththey turn a page that I never
thought they would ever do.
SPEAKER_00 (13:42):
Oh, no, no.
They haven't, Stuart.
This is uh this is the thing, iswe're hearing about it now.
This has been going on fordecades.
And unfortunately, Stuart, whenyou're sitting there saying, Oh,
we thought we they turned thepage.
They every time they get caughtwith their hands in the cookie
jar, they double down.
And that's what these professorsare doing.
They'll scream louder, they'lldemand more, they'll come up
(14:05):
with the next wacky doodle idea.
There are books and books allover the place in Amazon, in
schools, wherever you want,talking about white supremacy in
a way that you're sitting theregoing, What?
Explain to me, in what worlddoes this exist?
In what way does this exist?
This is the nuances that theywant you to believe.
(14:28):
And the way the left has hasreally gotten is has won some of
this battle, if you will, isbecause they are in so many
places.
They're in the media, they're inthe schools, they're in the
political sphere, and they'repushing these wacky narratives
to make you believe that lifeisn't what you see it to be, but
(14:50):
that the reason that your lifeis so bad has nothing to do with
you, but has to do with somebodyelse whose skin color isn't
yours.
Everything that's wrong in yourlife is my fault, your fault,
and that's it.
Plain and simple, nothing more,nothing less.
We live a life of privilege, weare told again and again.
(15:14):
We're you know, and it doesn'tmatter, it's your skin color
that matters, and that is whatthese guys are trying to push in
a classroom.
If you're an if I'm a legalperson, I'm born and raised in a
country, I have fullcitizenship, I must embrace
anybody who crosses that border,regardless of their background,
because we have to, otherwise,we're white supremacists.
(15:39):
The linkage doesn't make sense,but that's what they're trying
to push you in the classroom,that's why they're brainwashing
these kids, and that's why thesekids are coming out of class
going, What?
Now you're right.
Unfortunately, it takes yearslater in many cases for them to
realize maybe not.
But Stuart, I've met quite a fewpeople who went to university in
(16:01):
the 60s and 70s, and I want totell you something.
They still believe the shit thatwas shoveled to them even back
then, and that is the problem ofwhat's facing our kids today.
If on TV you show that ICEagents are bad and Donald
Trump's a white supremacist, andyour teacher says it, and your
parents say it, and the and theand politicians are saying it,
(16:22):
you're gonna believe it.
And that's the problem, David.
SPEAKER_01 (16:29):
That brings us to an
end.
But we're getting towards theend of the year, and you know,
you're running out of T.
All right, everybody.
Welcome yet again to the lastfew episodes of the year with
the Rant Network.
We're here Monday, Wednesday,Friday, noon Eastern.
Always shoveling it down, right?
(16:50):
Talk to you later, guys.
