  Jasmine Crockett 2028,
• 0:19
  is that the president you want?
• 0:20
  No,
• 0:20
  of course not.
• 0:20
  But do you want her to be the Democratic nominee
• 0:22
  and absolutely nothing else?
• 0:24
  Uh,
• 0:24

  Corey DeAngelis is here to reveal who's really
• 0:38
  behind the upcoming day of defiance protests,
• 0:40
  only 2 days away.
• 0:42
  I hope you have your tree up.
• 0:43
  We'll also take a look at the latest in a horrible air crash in India,
• 0:47
  really,
• 0:48
  really ugly,
• 0:48
  uh,
• 0:48
  but we're gonna start by
• 0:50
  doing the dumbest climate scam yet,
• 0:52
  and that's a high bar to clear,
• 0:53
  let's see if we can do it.
• 0:54
  Uh,
• 0:54
  peanuts or almonds,
• 0:56
  rice or millet?
• 0:59
  Planet friendly grocery shopping choices go beyond cutting meat.
• 1:03
  I know
• 1:04
  it's important for me.
• 1:05
  This is,
• 1:05
  uh,
• 1:05
  I was pointed to this because of this video.
• 1:09
  It says,
• 1:09
  wanna pay,
• 1:09
  uh,
• 1:09
  I wanna make more planet friendly choices at the grocery store,
• 1:13
  from chickens to beans to olive oil.
• 1:15
  These swaps could reduce your carbon footprint.
• 1:18
  I
• 1:19
  can't even describe to you how much I hate this form of quote unquote journalism
• 1:23
  where,
• 1:23
  like,
• 1:24
  you know,
• 1:24
  it's like,
• 1:24
  oh,
• 1:25
  these are just nice little tips you could do.
• 1:27
  That just happens to completely support one side's political arguments.
• 1:32
  All right,
• 1:33
  whatever you want to do climate crap,
• 1:34
  you can do climate crap.
• 1:36
  You can if you want.
• 1:37
  This is the woman who put this little video together to teach you how to eat
• 1:42
  and shop at the grocery store.
• 1:44
  I hope you pay close attention.
• 1:46
  Here's the big difference that you can make.
• 1:49
  Your grocery shopping habits can have a huge impact on the environment,
• 1:53
  but a few smart swaps can make a difference,
• 1:55
  OK.
• 1:56
  Um,
• 1:57
  no,
• 1:58
  no,
• 1:58
  they cannot.
• 1:59
  Um,
• 1:59
  and,
• 2:00
  uh,
• 2:01
  and I hate,
• 2:01
  this is,
• 2:02
  I mean,
• 2:02
  look,
• 2:03
  she seems like she's,
• 2:04
  uh,
• 2:05
  delightful,
• 2:05
  you know,
• 2:06
  seems like a nice lady.
• 2:07
  She's,
• 2:08
  uh,
• 2:08
  out there trying to make a difference.
• 2:10
  She's doing a little video and then she didn't do,
• 2:12
  you know,
• 2:12
  you know,
• 2:13
  kind of like cosplay of a social media influencer walking through the aisles,
• 2:16
  like
• 2:17
  selfieing herself as she goes through,
• 2:19
  and she's like got all the fruits and vegetables in the background.
• 2:22
  This is a big business.
• 2:23
  You do this stuff online,
• 2:24
  you can make a lot of.
• 2:24
  And lots and lots of money.
• 2:26
  They want to send you the important information that you need
• 2:29
  to understand what the impact will be on the climate.
• 2:31
  And so it's nothing about this particular reporter.
• 2:33
  I,
• 2:34
  I was very disappointed in whoever did this.
• 2:36
  I mean,
• 2:37
  they,
• 2:37
  they zoomed in on her lip.
• 2:39
  I don't know,
• 2:39
  she got a cold sore or something brewing there.
• 2:41
  I mean,
• 2:41
  like,
• 2:41
  that's unnecessary.
• 2:43
  OK,
• 2:43
  that's unnecessary,
• 2:44
  boys and girls.
• 2:44
  We don't need to do things like that.
• 2:46
  There's nothing wrong with this particular reporter as far as who she is as a person.
• 2:50
  I'm sure,
• 2:50
  I'm sure she really thinks she's doing something important,
• 2:52
  really thinks she's making a difference,
• 2:54
  but it's important to know.
• 2:56
  The objective truth of the situation.
• 2:59
  It's important to know
• 3:00
  that all this effort that you're putting into these things,
• 3:03
  doesn't accomplish
• 3:05
  anything.
• 3:05
  And I was a little,
• 3:07
  uh,
• 3:07
  you know,
• 3:07
  a little
• 3:08
  down on this video,
• 3:09
  a little bit when I first watched it,
• 3:11
  and it,
• 3:11
  and I thought it's a little unfair for me to just say it does nothing.
• 3:14
  We should look at the details here.
• 3:16
  What is actually being suggested?
• 3:18
  Uh,
• 3:19
  is this doable?
• 3:19
  What can happen?
• 3:21
  So let's go through it.
• 3:22
  Here is,
• 3:22
  uh,
• 3:23
  let's go through a couple of the tips here
• 3:25
  that we're supposed to do at the grocery store,
• 3:26
  and I want you to make sure you're
• 3:28
  writing these down
• 3:29
  fervently so that you can make sure you pay attention next time
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  you shop in the store.
• 3:34
  Here's the tips to save the planet.
• 3:37
  Sure,
• 3:37
  eating fewer animals and more plants is a
• 3:39
  big step in reducing your carbon footprint,
• 3:42
  but if you're not ready to say goodbye to chicken fingers and chorizo,
• 3:45
  experts say eating chicken instead of beef,
• 3:48
  even just once a day,
• 3:49
  can cut your diet's emissions almost in half.
• 3:52
  That's partly because cows burp a lot,
• 3:55
  which produces methane,
• 3:56
  a potent greenhouse gas,
• 3:58
  and processed animal products like cheese have a high impact on the planet.
• 4:01
  It takes about 10 pounds of whole milk
• 4:04
  to make 1 pound of cheese.
• 4:06
  Bye-bye.
• 4:08
  OK,
• 4:08
  so a couple of suggestions made there.
• 4:10
  Number one,
• 4:13
  eating chicken instead of beef,
• 4:15
  even just once a day can cut your diet emissions almost
• 4:19
  in half.
• 4:20
  Now that's a,
• 4:20
  that's a big change for a lot of people.
• 4:22
  I mean,
• 4:23
  the average person
• 4:25
  eats beef about once a day,
• 4:27
  so eating chicken instead of beef once a day.
• 4:31
  Means that you never eat beef again.
• 4:34
  And again,
• 4:35
  that might be OK for some people,
• 4:37
  I don't mind avoiding it,
• 4:38
  but
• 4:39
  it might be on your diet,
• 4:40
  you might be like,
• 4:40
  you know what,
• 4:40
  for my health reasons,
• 4:41
  I'm going to do that,
• 4:42
  and that might be fine.
• 4:43
  However,
• 4:43
  you should know,
• 4:44
  it's a big change in your life,
• 4:46
  OK?
• 4:46
  So that's one,
• 4:47
  but it's going to cut half your diet emissions,
• 4:49
  so I guess that's a big difference,
• 4:50
  right?
• 4:50
  And then 10 pounds of whole milk,
• 4:52
  make 1 pound of cheese,
• 4:53
  bye bye,
• 4:54
  she's saying bye bye to cheese.
• 4:56
  I can't even describe to you how my life would be if I never ate cheese again.
• 5:00
  It's approximately 80% of my current diet.
• 5:03
  Uh,
• 5:04
  so I don't know what I would even do,
• 5:05
  but she's now eliminated cheese and beef
• 5:09
  from your life.
• 5:11
  We're 15 seconds into this video,
• 5:13
  and you're never having a cheeseburger ever again,
• 5:16
  OK?
• 5:16
  These are the simple choices you can make when you're
• 5:19
  inside
• 5:20
  the grocery store.
• 5:21
  Um,
• 5:22
  now,
• 5:22
  we should also note.
• 5:24
  None of these changes have any actual
• 5:27
  current difference,
• 5:28
  and when I say they don't make any difference,
• 5:29
  I mean that sincerely,
• 5:31
  like if you just
• 5:32
  go there and to the grocery store and you don't take
• 5:35
  the beef package,
• 5:36
  and instead you take the chicken package like she just did in the video,
• 5:39
  that doesn't make any difference.
• 5:41
  As to how many cows there are,
• 5:42
  they're already born,
• 5:44
  OK,
• 5:44
  they're already there.
• 5:45
  In fact,
• 5:45
  these cows that are in your store,
• 5:47
  they're not even alive anymore.
• 5:48
  They've already been slaughtered.
• 5:49
  They're already there.
• 5:50
  The beef has already been produced and made,
• 5:51
  and all the emissions for the beef that's sitting in the store has already
• 5:55
  been
• 5:56
  emitted,
• 5:56
  if you will.
• 5:58
  So
• 5:59
  you should know that
• 6:00
  it's not like you're actually making a difference when you make that choice.
• 6:03
  In theory,
• 6:04
  over a long period of time,
• 6:05
  lots of individuals joining together over a long period of time might
• 6:08
  change the entire plan
• 6:10
  of the meat industry,
• 6:11
  and they might
• 6:13
  produce less cows,
• 6:14
  try to produce less beef.
• 6:16
  It certainly could make a difference in the.
• 6:17
  Long term,
• 6:18
  we've had some changes like that,
• 6:19
  I guess over our history,
• 6:20
  but if the beef you're looking at in the grocery store goes unsold for long enough,
• 6:23
  they're just going to throw it out.
• 6:25
  First they're going to lower the price for it,
• 6:26
  then they're going to throw it out.
• 6:28
  That's what's going to happen,
• 6:28
  or maybe they give it away.
• 6:30
  The bottom line is it's going to be eaten,
• 6:31
  and it doesn't matter anyway,
• 6:32
  those emissions have already been
• 6:34
  emitted.
• 6:34
  OK,
• 6:35
  more tips for you to save the planet.
• 6:37
  The ultimate low impact choice is plant-based proteins like legumes,
• 6:41
  beans,
• 6:42
  and tree nuts.
• 6:43
  I'm sorry to break it to you,
• 6:44
  but rice is a big water sucker and greenhouse gas emitter.
• 6:49
  For alternatives that are easier on the planet,
• 6:51
  you can try millet,
• 6:52
  sorghum,
• 6:52
  and buckwheat.
• 6:53
  No,
• 6:53
  no,
• 6:54
  I can't,
• 6:54
  OK,
• 6:55
  no,
• 6:55
  I cannot.
• 6:56
  First of all,
• 6:57
  I'm sorry to hear
• 6:58
  that rice is such a water sucker.
• 7:01
  Um,
• 7:01
  that's,
• 7:02
  that's really bad,
• 7:02
  but,
• 7:03
  um,
• 7:03
  the reason why people don't eat,
• 7:04
  uh,
• 7:05
  millet,
• 7:06
  sorghum,
• 7:07
  or buckwheat is because no one wants to eat millet,
• 7:11
  sorghum,
• 7:12
  or buckwheat.
• 7:12
  That's the reason why.
• 7:14
  It's just not an easy substitution.
• 7:16
  Oh gosh,
• 7:16
  instead of rice,
• 7:17
  I'm gonna have this thing that tastes exactly the same.
• 7:19
  Now there's some similarities,
• 7:20
  I feel like,
• 7:21
  I was trying to think of,
• 7:21
  have I ever in my life had millet?
• 7:24
  Have I ever in my life had sorghum?
• 7:26
  Have I ever in my life had buckwheat,
• 7:28
  hm.
• 7:29
  I don't remember it,
• 7:30
  but I feel like I may have been in some frou frou
• 7:32
  restaurant with some weird side and maybe it was in there.
• 7:35
  Like maybe one of them,
• 7:36
  two of them,
• 7:37
  I don't even know,
• 7:37
  to be honest.
• 7:38
  I think they're all kind of grains,
• 7:40
  uh,
• 7:40
  but,
• 7:41
  and they might be great,
• 7:42
  I don't know,
• 7:42
  but you could choose them if you want.
• 7:44
  I mean,
• 7:44
  millet doesn't even sound good.
• 7:46
  And then the only thing that sounds worse than millet is sorghum.
• 7:49
  That just sounds terrible,
• 7:50
  but
• 7:51
  maybe it's delicious,
• 7:52
  I don't know.
• 7:52
  So there's another one.
• 7:53
  Now,
• 7:53
  again,
• 7:54
  you've now stopped eating.
• 7:56
  Cheese,
• 7:57
  beef,
• 7:57
  and rice.
• 7:58
  You've now eliminated those three things from your world.
• 8:02
  OK,
• 8:02
  fine,
• 8:03
  uh,
• 8:03
  let's keep going.
• 8:05
  For fruits and veggies,
• 8:06
  local and in season is best.
• 8:08
  Keep an eye out for this ROC label.
• 8:10
  It stands for regenerative organic certified.
• 8:13
  That's your sign these foods are grown with a lighter impact on the environment.
• 8:16
  OK,
• 8:17
  there you go,
• 8:18
  uh,
• 8:19
  regenerative.
• 8:21
  Organic and certified,
• 8:22
  that's very exciting.
• 8:24
  The organic food thing,
• 8:25
  you know,
• 8:25
  I felt like we kind of,
• 8:26
  it's already fallen out of favor.
• 8:28
  Like people don't really buy into it,
• 8:29
  but you might,
• 8:30
  you might be your thing.
• 8:31
  And again,
• 8:31
  if you got the extra cash,
• 8:32
  you wanna pay a little bit more,
• 8:34
  uh,
• 8:34
  for organic vegetables,
• 8:35
  fruits,
• 8:36
  be my guest,
• 8:37
  um,
• 8:37
  but I.
• 8:38
  Yes that's less on the environment.
• 8:39
  Is that true?
• 8:40
  We'll get into that here in a second.
• 8:41
  Here's the last,
• 8:42
  uh,
• 8:42
  last group.
• 8:43
  And vegetable oil has a smaller impact than butter or lard.
• 8:47
  Tropical oils are healthiest in moderation,
• 8:49
  but palm oil is linked to deforestation,
• 8:52
  so check those labels.
• 8:54
  I mean.
• 8:56
  I suppose it is,
• 8:57
  uh,
• 8:57
  you know,
• 8:58
  palm oil,
• 8:59
  there's not a lot of forests of palm trees,
• 9:01
  you have to get the palm trees somewhere to make the palm oil.
• 9:04
  I will say the way,
• 9:05
  when they're talking about deforestation for palm oil,
• 9:08
  what they're talking about is basically taking a,
• 9:09
  uh,
• 9:10
  and this happens in places like Indonesia where they'll take a bunch of
• 9:13
  forests and they'll clear all the forests,
• 9:14
  all the trees,
• 9:16
  and then what they'll do is they'll plant
• 9:17
  different types of trees,
• 9:20
  because they want to make palm oil.
• 9:21
  So what you're doing there is you're replacing trees
• 9:23
  for other trees.
• 9:26
  And then you're turning it into palm oil and then you're planting even more trees,
• 9:29
  and then they just keep doing that.
• 9:31
  That's regenerative.
• 9:32
  Um,
• 9:33
  however,
• 9:33
  uh,
• 9:34
  you know,
• 9:34
  people,
• 9:34
  some people don't like that.
• 9:35
  So
• 9:36
  I mean,
• 9:36
  I,
• 9:36
  I saw this video,
• 9:37
  I watched it,
• 9:38
  I couldn't believe what I was watching because I
• 9:40
  just don't understand this world these people live in.
• 9:42
  I,
• 9:42
  I really don't,
• 9:43
  and how this is
• 9:44
  quote unquote news from.
• 9:45
  The Associated Press,
• 9:47
  not like Huffington Post,
• 9:48
  but
• 9:49
  the Associated Press,
• 9:49
  it's just bizarre.
• 9:51
  So
• 9:51
  I saw this and I tweeted this,
• 9:52
  uh,
• 9:53
  to be clear,
• 9:53
  none of this does anything.
• 9:55
  Now,
• 9:56
  it's not the nicest tweet,
• 9:58
  I suppose,
• 9:58
  it's,
• 9:58
  it's,
• 9:58
  you know,
• 9:59
  she's trying her best,
• 10:00
  but
• 10:01
  we should understand what these things do,
• 10:03
  because it's not without cost,
• 10:05
  OK?
• 10:06
  I mean,
• 10:06
  as I mentioned,
• 10:07
  a lot of the alternatives that we just talked about are a lot more expensive,
• 10:10
  so sure,
• 10:10
  financial cost is part of it,
• 10:11
  but really it's cost about enjoyment of life.
• 10:14
  What are you,
• 10:15
  you're changing your life like that.
• 10:17
  You're changing your life in those big dramatic ways,
• 10:19
  and they're not small choices at the grocery store.
• 10:21
  Giving up beef and cheese is not a small choice.
• 10:26
  It's,
• 10:26
  it's,
• 10:26
  it's one of these things where
• 10:28
  we need to really understand what we're accomplishing with
• 10:31
  what we do on a day to day basis,
• 10:32
  and this is the place where all of these arguments fall apart.
• 10:34
  Every single one of these environmental arguments fall apart right here.
• 10:39
  Let's go through it.
• 10:40
  So
• 10:40
  what
• 10:41
  difference would this stuff make?
• 10:44
  You might think I could just say nothing and move on with my life like the tweet,
• 10:47
  but no,
• 10:47
  I had to look at each individual one.
• 10:48
  So let's go through them
• 10:50
  now.
• 10:51
  I want to show you a global apocalypse at the grocery store.
• 10:54
  What can you do by saving,
• 10:55
  let's take,
• 10:56
  take the biggest one here,
• 10:57
  I think,
• 10:58
  switching beef for chicken,
• 10:59
  OK?
• 11:00
  A lot of people love beef.
• 11:01
  Beef is a big,
• 11:02
  you know,
• 11:02
  issue when it comes to the environment.
• 11:03
  They're always talking about how it's
• 11:05
  bigger than even the transportation
• 11:07
  industry
• 11:08
  in the country when it comes to
• 11:10
  meat production.
• 11:11
  So
• 11:11
  beef to chicken,
• 11:12
  what would that do?
• 11:13
  Start with the global emissions at 100%.
• 11:16
  100% of global emissions exist.
• 11:18
  Now,
• 11:19
  of course they're not all from food.
• 11:21
  They're also from transportation and from
• 11:24
  power generation and all of these other things.
• 11:26
  So
• 11:26
  we're going to reduce our potential impact from 100%
• 11:30
  down to 25% because 25%.
• 11:32
  Is how much of the global emissions are from food.
• 11:36
  Of course,
• 11:37
  not all global emissions from food
• 11:40
  come from the United States.
• 11:42
  We are yet,
• 11:43
  even though I know we are the biggest evil country in the world,
• 11:46
  we're a small slice of the world's emissions.
• 11:49
  In fact,
• 11:49
  we're about 9%.
• 11:51
  Of the emissions
• 11:52
  on Earth.
• 11:53
  So that brings us down to 2.25%
• 11:56
  of global emissions are from the US food sector.
• 12:01
  Of course,
• 12:01
  not all
• 12:03
  of the food emissions come from beef.
• 12:06
  Actually only about 20%.
• 12:07
  80% of those emissions in the United States
• 12:12
  food system come from beef.
• 12:13
  We are getting rid of,
• 12:14
  of course,
• 12:15
  the beef.
• 12:16
  That brings us down to 0.45% of global emissions.
• 12:21
  That's if we eliminated
• 12:22
  all beef completely.
• 12:24
  Of course there is an issue with that
• 12:26
  because we're not eliminating all beef exactly.
• 12:30
  We're getting rid of all beef,
• 12:31
  but we're replacing it
• 12:32
  all with chicken.
• 12:34
  So when you go back
• 12:36
  through that,
• 12:36
  you're going to save most of the emissions from beef.
• 12:40
  Chicken is I guess lower on the emissions scale from however they figure that out.
• 12:44
  So that brings you from 0.45% down to 0.38%
• 12:50
  of global emissions.
• 12:51
  I want to stop here.
• 12:52
  We're at 0.38%. That's the maximum impact you can make.
• 12:56
  However,
• 12:58
  We should all step back and realize a lot of
• 13:00
  environmental organizations will stop there and they'll come up with some
• 13:03
  equivalent like that takes 9 zillion cars off the road
• 13:06
  and then just hope that you don't look it up.
• 13:08
  0.38%
• 13:09
  wouldn't really make much of a difference anyway,
• 13:11
  but it would be ridiculous,
• 13:13
  right,
• 13:13
  for all of us to come here and say we're going
• 13:15
  to exist on the completely realistic standard of full compliance,
• 13:20
  right?
• 13:20
  You're never going to get everybody to do this.
• 13:22
  So I decided I was going to go back and look at history a little bit.
• 13:25
  What are the actually the most successful efforts at this type of thing?
• 13:30
  Because
• 13:30
  the American people typically are not going to just react
• 13:33
  to your moralizing and just totally change what they do,
• 13:36
  right?
• 13:36
  They might change if they find out something
• 13:38
  is massively unhealthy or something like that,
• 13:41
  but generally speaking,
• 13:42
  when you're just coming at them and just being like,
• 13:43
  hey,
• 13:44
  we've got a moral cause,
• 13:45
  please change your actions.
• 13:48
  How does that work out?
• 13:49
  Well,
• 13:50
  not that well,
• 13:51
  uh,
• 13:51
  typically,
• 13:51
  but let me give you the best,
• 13:53
  basically the best examples.
• 13:55
  Number one,
• 13:56
  meatless Monday.
• 13:57
  Did you know that meatless Monday was a thing?
• 13:58
  I'm not talking about now we're on social media and people are like,
• 14:00
  oh,
• 14:00
  how about meatless Mondays.
• 14:02
  Meatless Mondays in some areas,
• 14:04
  meatless Tuesdays,
• 14:05
  um,
• 14:06
  is part of our history as it relates to World War
• 14:10
  2.
• 14:11
  so meatless Monday history,
• 14:13
  food will win the war,
• 14:14
  was the way that they talked about it back then.
• 14:16
  The US entered World War II.
• 14:18
  President Franklin Roosevelt raised the idea that if a meatless
• 14:20
  day observed one day per week in the US,
• 14:23
  it would free up to 30 to 40 ships that could be used
• 14:26
  for military purposes instead of for importing meat from Argentina,
• 14:30
  New Zealand,
• 14:30
  and Australia.
• 14:31
  In 1943,
• 14:32
  the US government began rationing meat,
• 14:35
  limiting the supply to both restaurants
• 14:37
  and individuals.
• 14:38
  We even got these signs
• 14:40
  at actual restaurants at the time.
• 14:42
  Today is Meatless Tuesday.
• 14:43
  You'll find an extensive.
• 14:44
  A variety of choice dishes available,
• 14:46
  but no beef,
• 14:47
  no pork,
• 14:48
  no veal,
• 14:49
  no lamb will be served
• 14:51
  today.
• 14:51
  So
• 14:52
  how did this work out?
• 14:53
  Let's go through this for a second.
• 14:55
  Meatless Tuesdays was in the 1940s.
• 14:58
  The threat at the time,
• 15:00
  what was the threat?
• 15:01
  Well,
• 15:01
  basically,
• 15:02
  Nazis will kill us
• 15:04
  if we don't,
• 15:04
  if we keep eating meat.
• 15:05
  So you better stop because the Nazis are going to kill us,
• 15:09
  a pretty serious threat,
• 15:10
  like the,
• 15:11
  the,
• 15:11
  going to our patriotic instincts,
• 15:13
  right?
• 15:14
  The effort,
• 15:15
  how much effort did they put behind this?
• 15:16
  Well,
• 15:17
  it was pushed by the US government in wartime.
• 15:20
  It was pretty freaking serious.
• 15:21
  Not to mention,
• 15:22
  not only did they push the message you've got to stop eating meat,
• 15:25
  but they also rationed meat to people.
• 15:27
  So it was a serious,
• 15:29
  serious,
• 15:29
  serious effort.
• 15:31
  What was the result of this?
• 15:33
  They got about a 15%
• 15:34
  reduction
• 15:36
  in meat consumption.
• 15:37
  Now that's pretty good actually.
• 15:39
  I mean 15% is actually an amazing
• 15:42
  effort.
• 15:43
  The only other one I could come up with that kind
• 15:44
  of came close to that is right around the same area,
• 15:47
  is plant-based milk.
• 15:48
  Now,
• 15:48
  plant-based milk started really in the 70s into the
• 15:51
  80s when it was first kind of developed.
• 15:53
  No one really wanted it back then.
• 15:54
  The threat to make people do it was,
• 15:57
  well,
• 15:57
  it was global warming.
• 15:58
  It was,
• 15:59
  it was,
• 16:00
  you know,
• 16:00
  maybe you have bad health,
• 16:01
  but there was always that threat kind of living there.
• 16:03
  How much effort has been put behind it?
• 16:05
  Well,
• 16:06
  the plant milk industry spends billions and billions
• 16:09
  and billions of dollars a year in advertising,
• 16:11
  so that's the effort,
• 16:12
  and the result,
• 16:13
  it's going to be 15%
• 16:16
  of the milk market today
• 16:18
  is plant-based.
• 16:19
  So again,
• 16:20
  you talk about the home runs in this world.
• 16:22
  What's the best you can possibly do?
• 16:24
  Let's expect about 15%.
• 16:26
  We'll give it a very optimistic compliance rate of 15%.
• 16:30
  So now we're at the point where this effort of
• 16:33
  changing all your beef into chicken in your entire existence,
• 16:37
  that now is going to drop global emissions by
• 16:40
  0.06%.
• 16:44
  0.06%. So what does that mean in real life?
• 16:48
  Well,
• 16:48
  if you believe this climate apocalypse is coming at our current rates,
• 16:52
  this would delay
• 16:54
  our climate apocalypse by
• 16:56
  5
• 16:57
  hours.
• 16:59
  Now think about what you've just done.
• 17:01
  You've stopped eating beef completely in your entire
• 17:04
  life and now are only eating chicken.
• 17:05
  Some people wouldn't like that,
• 17:07
  they don't see that as a real substitute for beef.
• 17:09
  When they want beef,
• 17:09
  they want beef.
• 17:11
  Uh,
• 17:11
  but you've now
• 17:13
  added 5 hours
• 17:14
  of climate savior time,
• 17:16
  uh,
• 17:17
  to your ledger,
• 17:17
  5 big hours.
• 17:18
  Let's go through all of these real quick.
• 17:20
  Um,
• 17:21
  I did all the calculations on these,
• 17:22
  yes,
• 17:22
  I'm a loser.
• 17:24
  Switch switching beef to chicken
• 17:25
  will get us 5 hours in the
• 17:27
  climate apocalypse.
• 17:29
  Eliminating all cheese in your life will add another 1 hour and 10 minutes.
• 17:35
  1 hour in 10 minutes.
• 17:38
  Switching all,
• 17:38
  you can just leave this up,
• 17:39
  switching all rice
• 17:41
  to millet.
• 17:42
  Again,
• 17:42
  you're not
• 17:43
  substituting something good,
• 17:45
  uh,
• 17:46
  switching all rice to millet will add you another
• 17:49
  21 minutes.
• 17:51
  And then here's.
• 17:52
  A big problem we're about to have.
• 17:53
  Remember,
• 17:54
  the next one was switching
• 17:56
  all fruits and veggies to organic,
• 17:59
  and that sounded really good.
• 18:00
  Remember she said less environmental impact.
• 18:02
  The problem is organic veggies and fruits actually
• 18:06
  cause
• 18:07
  more
• 18:07
  emissions
• 18:09
  because they are not as densely planted.
• 18:11
  And they don't,
• 18:13
  it's a complicated formula,
• 18:14
  but basically it costs about 40% more emissions than conventional.
• 18:18
  So that's going to actually add back those same 21 minutes you just
• 18:22
  saved
• 18:23
  from switching
• 18:25
  from all rice to millet.
• 18:26
  So you've now delayed all of these changes,
• 18:29
  switching beef to chicken.
• 18:31
  Eliminating all cheese,
• 18:34
  switching all the rice you'll ever consume to millet,
• 18:37
  switching all the fruits and vegetables you'll ever have to organic,
• 18:40
  you've now saved yourself 6 hours and 10 minutes,
• 18:44
  not even.
• 18:46
  Even half a day
• 18:48
  have you actually done.
• 18:49
  Now,
• 18:49
  if you want to go out and turn your life into some micromanaged hell
• 18:54
  to prove to yourself that you have virtue,
• 18:57
  I suppose you can go do that.
• 18:59
  Congratulations.
• 19:00
  I,
• 19:00
  I hope you have a good time
• 19:01
  with all of that.
• 19:03
  You can do it.
• 19:04
  You should just know it's not going to accomplish anything.
• 19:08
  If every leftist fact about global warming,
• 19:11
  all the science is real,
• 19:13
  everything's perfect,
• 19:14
  they understand the climate perfectly,
• 19:15
  if all that were to be true,
• 19:18
  you'd be adding about 6 hours,
• 19:19
  making all of these changes.
• 19:21
  Does that make
• 19:22
  any difference at all?
• 19:25
  I would say no,
• 19:25
  this is not like we're not going back to Al Gore criticism here.
• 19:29
  My criticism here is not even on climate science.
• 19:31
  My criticism here
• 19:33
  is on how
• 19:34
  you live
• 19:35
  your life.
• 19:36
  How much torture are you going to allow to let these
• 19:40
  people who make 32nd YouTube videos run your life for you?
• 19:46
  It's ridiculous.
• 19:48
  Is there anyone actually living their lives that way?
• 19:50
  We all know there's no chance there's going to be a 15%
• 19:55
  compliance rate on this.
• 19:56
  People will do it occasionally to make themselves feel good.
• 19:59
  They can tell their friends on social media how important they are,
• 20:02
  what kind of difference they're making,
• 20:04
  but in reality,
• 20:05
  the difference they're making is zero.
• 20:07
  Global warming
• 20:08
  is different than some of these other things.
• 20:10
  Like if you talk about
• 20:11
  the obesity problem,
• 20:12
  America has an obesity problem.
• 20:14
  Tackling that.
• 20:16
  You yourself tackling your obesity,
• 20:18
  which,
• 20:18
  you know,
• 20:19
  I don't know,
• 20:19
  I certainly have had problems tackling that,
• 20:22
  um,
• 20:22
  but me tackling it for myself
• 20:24
  might make a difference to me.
• 20:26
  However,
• 20:26
  it makes no difference to the global obesity epidemic,
• 20:30
  right?
• 20:30
  What it makes a difference to me,
• 20:32
  but there is a difference and a benefit to me.
• 20:34
  The climate crisis is only a collective benefit.
• 20:38
  There's no individual benefit to you
• 20:41
  to do this.
• 20:41
  It's only this weird global
• 20:44
  benefit that's out there in the ether,
• 20:46
  and
• 20:47
  When you calculate it,
• 20:48
  you're not making any difference whatsoever when it comes to that.
• 20:52
  People are thinking that they're making this big difference,
• 20:54
  and in reality they're not.
• 20:55
  They're not making any difference at all.
• 20:58
  They have this masochistic desire to ruin their own lives,
• 21:02
  and I don't understand why anyone
• 21:04
  would do that.
• 21:04
  So to this reporter who seems like a very nice lady.
• 21:09
  Know what your life is here.
• 21:12
  Value your life.
• 21:13
  Your life is more important
• 21:14
  than making all of these decisions based on this
• 21:16
  problem that you will make no difference in solving.
• 21:19
  Enjoy yourself.
• 21:20
  Enjoy the fruits of capitalism.
• 21:22
  You live in an incredible country,
• 21:24
  the best place you ever could live at the best time you ever could live
• 21:27
  in it.
• 21:28
  You've got all the things you could possibly want right in front of you.
• 21:31
  Enjoy them.
• 21:32
  Celebrate this country,
• 21:33
  celebrate what you have here.
• 21:34
  Celebrate capitalism.
• 21:35
  It's brought all of this stuff here to you.
• 21:37
  Thank,
• 21:38
  thanks to God for creating it.
• 21:41
  I'm happy
• 21:42
  that I live in this country.
• 21:42
  I'm enjoying the fruits
• 21:44
  of,
• 21:44
  of this capitalist system that we have.
• 21:48
  And instead of just constantly fighting against it and acting
• 21:51
  as if you have to torture yourself to live some
• 21:54
  virtuous life,
• 21:56
  relax.
• 21:57
  Celebrate the wonderful things that we have,
• 21:59
  things that our ancestors would be thrilled we had access to.
• 22:02
  And then,
• 22:03
  I don't know,
• 22:04
  if you want it,
• 22:05
  have a cheeseburger.
• 22:17
  Now,
• 22:17
  have you heard
• 22:18
  of Karouma?
• 22:20
  Hm,
• 22:21
  well,
• 22:21
  it's an edible cactus from India,
• 22:23
  and some say it's nature's subtle reminder to eat a little less.
• 22:26
  Now you might say to yourself,
• 22:27
  wait a minute.
• 22:28
  I,
• 22:29
  I want to have 45 cheeseburgers after hearing you talk about cheeseburgers,
• 22:32
  and that's fine,
• 22:33
  you can have that if you want.
• 22:34
  But my guess is,
• 22:35
  you might want to make a change in your eating,
• 22:38
  not because of some crazy journalist telling you you have to,
• 22:41
  but because you just want to feel better about yourself,
• 22:43
  and you want to feel better in your life.
• 22:44
  Karoloma is not,
• 22:45
  is just one of the natural ingredients that doctors have added to lean.
• 22:49
  This isn't a weight loss supplement,
• 22:51
  and if you've got big summer weight loss goals,
• 22:52
  you might not want to be taking those injections if that's you.
• 22:55
  Pay attention.
• 22:56
  Lean supports healthy blood sugar levels and helps
• 22:59
  manage your appetite and your cravings as well.
• 23:02
  Lean does even more.
• 23:03
  Its rare ingredients help burn fat by converting it into energy,
• 23:07
  and the best part is there's no needles involved,
• 23:09
  just real results.
• 23:10
  Doctors created a smarter,
• 23:11
  healthier way to shed pounds using the power of natural ingredients like a kalumma,
• 23:16
  which is fun to say.
• 23:17
  It also seems like it could be a.

  Yesterday we went,
• 23:45
  I think it was yesterday,
• 23:46
  we went through a list of all of the protests slash riots that have happened since,
• 23:51
  you know,
• 23:52
  Donald Trump came down the escalator.
• 23:54
  And man,

  it was,
• 23:57
  you forget about,
• 23:58
  uh,
• 23:58
  several of them as you go through time.
• 24:00
  It just seems like
• 24:02
  these guys are on the streets
• 24:03
  all the time.
• 24:04
  I,
• 24:04
  I don't,
• 24:04
  do they have jobs?
• 24:05
  I,
• 24:05
  I have no idea,
• 24:06
  but they're on the streets all the time.
• 24:07
  They're constantly burning our cities to the ground.
• 24:09
  We saw this happen,
• 24:10
  of course,
• 24:10
  most recently in Los Angeles,
• 24:12
  uh,
• 24:12
  but that's not the end of this.
• 24:14
  LA is not the end of this.
• 24:15
  We expect this to grow,
• 24:17
  uh,
• 24:17
  like crazy.
• 24:18
  Uh,
• 24:18
  one of the things we're going to see,
• 24:20
  uh,
• 24:20
  the left is planning to rise up all across the country on June 14th,
• 24:23
  only two days away from where we are right now.
• 24:26
  They call it a nationwide,
• 24:27
  uh,
• 24:27
  uh,
• 24:28
  a day of defiance.
• 24:29
  So who's behind this?
• 24:31
  Uh,
• 24:31
  Corey DeAngelis has,
• 24:32
  uh,
• 24:32
  an answer to that.
• 24:33
  He's a senior fellow for the American Culture Project,
• 24:36
  economic research,
• 24:37
  uh,
• 24:37
  visiting fellow for the American Institute,
• 24:39
  and author of The Parent Revolution Rescuing Your Kids
• 24:43
  from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.
• 24:45
  Corey,
• 24:46
  thanks for coming back on the program,
• 24:47
  man.
• 24:47
  I appreciate it.
• 24:48
  Hey Stu,
• 24:48
  thanks for having me.
• 24:49
  Yeah,
• 24:50
  I,
• 24:50
  you,
• 24:50
  uh,
• 24:51
  tweeted something pretty interesting about what we're about
• 24:53
  to see in a couple of days.
• 24:55
  I don't know that,
• 24:56
  I mean,
• 24:57
  look,
• 24:57
  we all know progressive groups are going to get involved in,
• 24:59
  in in rallies like this,
• 25:01
  uh,
• 25:02
  but you had a name that,
• 25:03
  uh,
• 25:04
  just,
• 25:04
  uh,
• 25:05
  everybody should remember.
• 25:07
  Yeah,
• 25:07
  it's Randy Weingarten's behind these over 1000 protests all across the country,
• 25:12
  starting on Saturday,
• 25:14
  June 14th,
• 25:15
  which also happens to be Trump's birthday,
• 25:17
  Flag Day,
• 25:17
  and the 250th anniversary of the Army.
• 25:21
  And Randy Weingarten just this week held a town hall,
• 25:25
  getting all the troops mobilized to get people fired up to go protest in the streets.
• 25:30
  You remember 2020,
• 25:31
  they had the uh summer of love,
• 25:33
  it was fiery but mostly peaceful protests.
• 25:36
  I,
• 25:36
  I predict a summer of love 2.0
• 25:39
  coming on Saturday.
• 25:41
  They have over 1000 of these riots planned,
• 25:44
  and in their planning meeting,
• 25:45
  Randy Weingarten's co-host called.
• 25:48
  To,
• 25:48
  uh,
• 25:49
  to replicate LA,
• 25:50
  to basically,
• 25:51
  they said to quote unquote,
• 25:52
  stand in solidarity with Los Angeles.
• 25:55
  So,
• 25:55
  imagine Los Angeles happening all across the country,
• 25:59
  which this raises the question,
• 26:00
  why in the hell are the teachers unions behind this?
• 26:03
  Well,
• 26:03
  first of all,
• 26:04
  they're political activists,
• 26:05
  they care more about politicizing education than teaching your kids the basics,
• 26:09
  math,
• 26:10
  reading and writing.
• 26:10
  They don't just want to inject the politics into the classroom though,
• 26:14
  they wanna take over the entire.
• 26:15
  The entire country
• 26:16
  caused chaos in the streets,
• 26:18
  and so this shows that they're not about educating,
• 26:21
  they're a political animal,
• 26:23
  the entire teachers union industry,
• 26:25
  98% of their,
• 26:26
  99% of their campaign contributions go to Democrats each election cycle.
• 26:31
  It's a money laundering operation,
• 26:33
  but Stu,
• 26:33
  it's actually worse than that because with this illegal immigration issue,
• 26:38
  they know that that if there's deportations,
• 26:41
  if,
• 26:41
  if we stop the import.
• 26:43
  Illegal immigration,
• 26:44
  that will hurt their bottom line,
• 26:47
  because public schools are funded based on
• 26:49
  the number of students there,
• 26:51
  the,
• 26:51
  the,
• 26:51
  their enrollment numbers.
• 26:53
  If you have fewer illegal immigrants in the schools,
• 26:55
  they are gonna lose a ton of money,
• 26:57
  and the teachers unions,
• 26:58
  people like Randy Weingarten who make over 5000.
• 27:00
  100 $0 a year,
• 27:02
  they're gonna be hurt as well financially,
• 27:04
  and guess what,
• 27:05
  they get more money per student if
• 27:07
  they have a non-English language speaking student
• 27:10
  in so many states across the country,
• 27:12
  so they get a bonus,
• 27:13
  if it's an illegal immigrant that doesn't know English.
• 27:15
  They get even more money than the average amount,
• 27:18
  so.
• 27:18
  Now it all kind of makes sense as to why the teachers unions would be behind this,
• 27:22
  but you would have thought they'd learned something
• 27:24
  after they stepped on a rake during COVID,
• 27:26
  showed families all the corruption in the classroom,
• 27:29
  the rot in the government school system through Zoom school.
• 27:32
  Conservatives are pissed.
• 27:33
  Now we've had 17 states
• 27:36
  pass universal school choice,
• 27:37
  New Hampshire
• 27:38
  going all in,
• 27:39
  being the most recent
• 27:40
  this week,
• 27:41
  and so,
• 27:42
  You'd think they would have learned,
• 27:43
  but now they're,
• 27:44
  they're taking it a step further.
• 27:45
  They're over here like,
• 27:46
  hold my beer unions of 2020,
• 27:49
  we're gonna continue showing you just who we really are.
• 27:51
  I don't think they can reverse course.
• 27:53
  They've been so drunk on power
• 27:54
  for so long.
• 27:55
  Yeah,
• 27:55
  you know,
• 27:56
  it is really interesting because,
• 27:57
  you know,
• 27:57
  of course,
• 27:58
  it's the average person,
• 27:59
  the teachers union,
• 28:00
  unions,
• 28:00
  they might not follow these stories like you do.
• 28:03
  And they think to themselves,
• 28:04
  well,
• 28:04
  these are people trying to educate my kids.
• 28:07
  They might be a little bit on the left.
• 28:08
  I mean that's not a huge surprise,
• 28:09
  I suppose,
• 28:10
  in public life these days,
• 28:11
  but like this,
• 28:12
  getting behind an effort like this,
• 28:14
  this is something that.
• 28:16
  I
• 28:18
  these are most of the groups that are working into this are hardcore,
• 28:22
  you know,
• 28:23
  left wing socialist groups,
• 28:26
  you know,
• 28:26
  hardcore climate activists,
• 28:29
  you know,
• 28:29
  the Peace and Freedom Party.
• 28:31
  I mean we're talking about groups that are kind of
• 28:33
  way out of the mainstream of America and then like
• 28:35
  in the middle of this are the teachers' unions.
• 28:37
  I mean
• 28:38
  do the average American people even have any idea that this is going on?
• 28:42
  They don't.
• 28:43
  I,
• 28:43
  I'm really happy we have social media and you know,
• 28:46
  people like
• 28:47
  myself,
• 28:48
  to be quite honest,
• 28:49
  looking into these things because people have their everyday jobs,
• 28:51
  they have a lot of other things to do.
• 28:53
  People have their kids to raise,
• 28:54
  people have their 9 to 5 work hours,
• 28:56
  and so I'm glad that I can share this information on social media,
• 29:00
  have people like you amplify it even further on your networks,
• 29:03
  uh,
• 29:04
  outside the mainstream media
• 29:06
  to be able to,
• 29:06
  to,
• 29:07
  to,
• 29:07
  to.
• 29:07
  To just educate the rest of the population,
• 29:09
  because,
• 29:10
  yeah,
• 29:10
  most people think teachers unions,
• 29:11
  and they think teachers,
• 29:12
  and they think,
• 29:13
  you know,
• 29:13
  they might have friends or family members who are teachers,
• 29:16
  but the teachers union is not synonymous with the rank and file members
• 29:20
  of the,
• 29:20
  uh,
• 29:21
  who work in the schools.
• 29:22
  There are a lot of great public school educators out there,
• 29:25
  and the unions,
• 29:25
  people like Randy Weingarten,
• 29:27
  they're hurting the teachers more than anybody else because
• 29:30
  they're not only trapping kids in.
• 29:32
  Failing government schools,
• 29:33
  but
• 29:33
  they're making the profession look bad.
• 29:35
  I mean,
• 29:35
  they're locked arms with this individual project,
• 29:38
  uh,
• 29:38
  fighting for these nationwide protests.
• 29:41
  The Invisible Project is,
• 29:43
  uh,
• 29:43
  the person who co-hosted that rally with,
• 29:45
  uh,
• 29:46
  Randy Weingarten this week calling for mass resistance and mass protests,
• 29:50
  and they're funded by George Soros.
• 29:52
  I mean,
• 29:52
  they're far-left radical activists who wanna uproot
• 29:56
  the.
• 29:56
  Entire country,
• 29:57
  they want to turn it on its head.
• 29:59
  They want to have chaos in the streets so that they can have
• 30:02
  their Marxism
• 30:03
  infiltrate even more institutions.
• 30:05
  This is why they fight against school choice too,
• 30:07
  because
• 30:08
  they wanna have a monopoly on the minds of your children,
• 30:11
  and when they fight for all these ridiculous policies,
• 30:14
  they don't just make the profession look bad,
• 30:16
  they also fight for more dues-paying members,
• 30:18
  they fight for more staffing and administrative blow.
• 30:21
  Over time,
• 30:22
  which means more of a bottom line for
• 30:24
  Randi Weingarten to push for more of a
• 30:26
  political pet projects and pat her own pockets,
• 30:28
  but it means less money for teachers.
• 30:31
  So if you look over time since 1970,
• 30:33
  although we've increased funding overall for public schools by 170%,
• 30:38
  even after adjusting for inflation,
• 30:40
  the teachers aren't seeing the money.
• 30:42
  They've,
• 30:42
  they've only increased teacher salaries by 3% over that period.
• 30:46
  So,
• 30:46
  I mean,
• 30:47
  it,
• 30:47
  they,
• 30:47
  they have their priorities all messed up,
• 30:50
  not just on what they're focusing on in the
• 30:52
  classrooms and what they're doing outside of the classroom,
• 30:55
  but even,
• 30:56
  you know,
• 30:56
  they're not focused on the kids,
• 30:57
  we knew that,
• 30:58
  but they're not focused on the teachers either.
• 31:00
  Um,
• 31:01
  yeah,
• 31:01
  it's,
• 31:01
  that's absolutely amazing,
• 31:02
  I it's good work if you can get it,
• 31:03
  I suppose,
• 31:04
  uh,
• 31:04
  for Randi Weingarten.
• 31:05
  Um,
• 31:05
  for people,
• 31:06
  uh,
• 31:07
  who might know the name Randi Weingarten from,
• 31:09
  uh,
• 31:09
  from COVID,
• 31:10
  remembering her as a,
• 31:11
  a negative figure through that time.
• 31:14
  Can you kind of give who she is?
• 31:16
  I know you watch what she does closely.
• 31:17
  It's,
• 31:18
  you know,
• 31:18
  it's part of your gig,
• 31:19
  your lot in life at this point,
• 31:20
  although I'm sure she has you blocked on,
• 31:22
  on Twitter.
• 31:22
  Um,
• 31:23
  can you,
• 31:23
  uh,
• 31:24
  can you kind of remind people who Randy Weingarten actually is?
• 31:27
  Yeah,
• 31:27
  she hasn't blocked me yet,
• 31:28
  but the National Education Association has,
• 31:30
  Becky Pringle's union,
• 31:31
  that's the main
• 31:32
  largest union in the country,
• 31:33
  largest labor union.
• 31:34
  They have a federal charter,
• 31:35
  which that needs to be revoked.
• 31:37
  They should not have the backing of Congress,
• 31:39
  it makes zero sense.
• 31:40
  But Randi Weingarten does close all of her replies on Twitter,
• 31:43
  like she closed the schools.
• 31:45
  Her and Becky Pringle's union,
• 31:47
  they lobbied the CDC to make it more difficult to reopen schools during COVID.
• 31:51
  They said it was about safety,
• 31:52
  it had nothing to do with safety,
• 31:53
  the private.
• 31:53
  Private schools were open,
• 31:54
  grocery stores were open,
• 31:56
  bars were open.
• 31:57
  Everything else was open.
• 31:58
  Daycares were open.
• 31:59
  They were even closing some schools
• 32:02
  in some places,
• 32:03
  in some places,
• 32:04
  but then had,
• 32:04
  they'd had the daycares open.
• 32:06
  In one place in California,
• 32:07
  there was actually a private school
• 32:10
  that rebranded as a daycare,
• 32:12
  just so that they could
• 32:13
  serve the needs of their customers,
• 32:15
  even though they were still a school,
• 32:17
  but the public schools fought to remain closed.
• 32:19
  People like Randy.
• 32:20
  Weingarten knew
• 32:21
  they could profit from doing that too,
• 32:23
  because
• 32:24
  they could use that as leverage and say,
• 32:26
  well,
• 32:26
  we'll open if you give us even more money.
• 32:28
  They've received $190 billion in so-called COVID relief
• 32:32
  since March of 2020.
• 32:33
  They didn't use that money for reopening schools,
• 32:35
  they used it for hiring more members,
• 32:37
  which again,
• 32:38
  meant more dues,
• 32:39
  which then they could funnel back to their buddies in the Democrat Party.
• 32:42
  I mean,
• 32:43
  it's an,
• 32:43
  it's an incestuous relationship.
• 32:45
  The,
• 32:46
  the Democrat Party.
• 32:47
  is
• 32:47
  basically a wholly owned subsidiary of the teachers unions at this point,
• 32:51
  and this is the only reason why you have Democrats voting against school choice.
• 32:55
  It's a non-partisan issue.
• 32:56
  I mean,
• 32:56
  you have Democrats,
• 32:58
  Republicans,
• 32:58
  Independents,
• 32:58
  they wanna choose their school,
• 32:59
  they want,
• 33:00
  they don't want their kids trapped in the failing,
• 33:02
  these failure factories that we call public schools.
• 33:04
  If you look at who uses school choice programs,
• 33:07
  Democrats overwhelmingly use it,
• 33:09
  support it,
• 33:10
  uh,
• 33:10
  you look at polling,
• 33:11
  supermajority support across party lines.
• 33:14
  It just so happens that the elected officials on the Democrat side,
• 33:18
  they received so many endorsements and political contributions.
• 33:23
  You look at the New Jersey governor's race that just happened,
• 33:25
  I just flipped through the,
• 33:26
  the,
• 33:26
  uh,
• 33:27
  the headlines yesterday.
• 33:28
  Uh,
• 33:29
  the teachers union boss out there of the New Jersey Education Association,
• 33:32
  he received $20 million from his own union,
• 33:35
  indirectly through a,
• 33:36
  you know,
• 33:36
  a PAC,
• 33:37
  but he still came like in last place with 10% of the vote.
• 33:40
  Um,
• 33:41
  but
• 33:41
  it just shows you that they funnel so much of this money that
• 33:45
  in a way,
• 33:46
  it's almost extorted from the taxpayer because we
• 33:48
  have to pay for the public education system.
• 33:51
  And teachers unions feel like they have to pay the dues,
• 33:53
  or else they'll get bullied at school,
• 33:55
  or,
• 33:56
  you know,
• 33:56
  in,
• 33:56
  in,
• 33:56
  in some places,
• 33:57
  they feel like they need that liability insurance,
• 33:59
  even,
• 33:59
  even if they disagree with the
• 34:01
  unions politically,
• 34:03
  and everything that they're doing in the streets,
• 34:05
  and that money gets funneled to the unions,
• 34:08
  their political projects,
• 34:09
  and ultimately to the Democratic Party.
• 34:11
  And so I think the Republicans have finally woken up on this issue and said,
• 34:15
  you know what,
• 34:15
  we need to lead on this issue because we're on the right side of history,
• 34:18
  and now 17 red states.
• 34:21
  Including our home state of Texas,
• 34:23
  uh,
• 34:23
  going all in on school choice,
• 34:25
  there's still more work to be done even in Texas,
• 34:27
  but
• 34:27
  there's just been so much momentum,
• 34:29
  the wind is at our backs,
• 34:31
  and we gotta thank Randi Weingarten,
• 34:32
  that she stepped on a rake,
• 34:34
  she overplayed her hand,
• 34:35
  she showed everybody what kind of lunatics
• 34:39
  are running the union.
• 34:41
  Do you want people like her?
• 34:42
  Uh,
• 34:42
  raising your kids,
• 34:43
  or,
• 34:43
  or educating your child at school,
• 34:46
  no,
• 34:46
  it's free advertising for homeschooling,
• 34:48
  and it's also free advertising for,
• 34:50
  for,
• 34:50
  for school choice.
• 34:51
  This is why
• 34:52
  I dedicated my book to Randy for overplaying
• 34:54
  her hand and awakening a sleeping giant,
• 34:57
  the parents
• 34:58
  who have started a revolution,
• 34:59
  a peaceful one,
• 35:00
  all across the country,
• 35:02
  just reclaiming the education.
• 35:03
  Of their child,
• 35:04
  saying,
• 35:04
  hey,
• 35:05
  that money is meant for my kid,
• 35:06
  not for you,
• 35:07
  not for the adults.
• 35:09
  The education system is supposed to be for the child,
• 35:10
  not,
• 35:11
  not the,
• 35:11
  not the teachers,
• 35:12
  not the employees,
• 35:13
  not Randy Weingarten,
• 35:15
  and so the money should follow the child,
• 35:17
  which,
• 35:17
  you know,
• 35:17
  that leads to competition,
• 35:19
  it leads to the public schools doing a better job,
• 35:21
  focusing more on the basics.
• 35:23
  It's a win-win solution.
• 35:25
  And uh it's,
• 35:26
  it's a beautiful sight to see.
• 35:27
  We've come so long,
• 35:28
  so far in such a short amount of time.
• 35:30
  Yeah,
• 35:31
  and it is really legitimately true,
• 35:33
  without Randy Weingarten,
• 35:34
  this wouldn't have happened.
• 35:35
  I mean,
• 35:35
  we,
• 35:35
  we,
• 35:36
  I remember,
• 35:36
  you know,
• 35:36
  conservatives and libertarians talking about this policy for
• 35:39
  decades and really getting nowhere on school choice and
• 35:42
  until your efforts,
• 35:43
  Corey,
• 35:43
  you're very important in this as well.
• 35:45
  But got the assist from Randi Weingarten.
• 35:47
  Hopefully she's not as successful
• 35:49
  with these protests this weekend.
• 35:50
  Uh,
• 35:51
  Corey DeAngelis,
• 35:52
  uh,
• 35:52
  be sure to grab a copy of his book.
• 35:53
  It's called The Parent Revolution Rescuing Your Kids
• 35:56
  from the Radicals,
• 35:57
  Ruining Our Schools.
• 35:59
  It's available wherever you get your books.
• 36:00
  Corey,
• 36:01
  thanks for all your hard work on this,
• 36:02
  and,
• 36:02
  uh,
• 36:02
  I really appreciate you coming on the program.
• 36:04
  Thanks so much too.
• 36:05
  Good to talk to you.
• 36:15
  Absolutely terrible story coming out of India.
• 36:17
  Air India flight headed to London with more than 240 aboard
• 36:20
  crashed after the takeoff.
• 36:22
  If you've seen the video of this,
• 36:23
  it is
• 36:24
  terrible.
• 36:25
  It is just a giant fireball.
• 36:28
  Basically took off like right after,
• 36:30
  came back down to the ground,
• 36:31
  maybe 30 seconds after,
• 36:33
  crashed into a
• 36:35
  Part of a college
• 36:37
  killed some people on the ground as well.
• 36:38
  I mean it was a really,
• 36:39
  really terrible incident.
• 36:41
  Another,
• 36:41
  it was a Boeing flight,
• 36:43
  another Boeing plane,
• 36:44
  although it's the Dreamliner.
• 36:45
  I think it's never crashed before,
• 36:47
  this particular plane,
• 36:48
  and it's been in operation for a long time now.
• 36:50
  So
• 36:51
  amazingly,
• 36:52
  on the good side,
• 36:54
  one person actually has survived.
• 36:55
  We don't know if there will be any more than that,
• 36:56
  but at least one person has actually survived.
• 36:59
  It's already telling the story about what happened,
• 37:01
  so absolutely crazy development there.
• 37:03
  And just,
• 37:04
  you know,
• 37:04
  awful,
• 37:05
  awful,
• 37:05
  uh,
• 37:05
  we,
• 37:06
  we,
• 37:06
  we hope and pray for,
• 37:07
  for more survivors in India.
• 37:10
  Um,
• 37:10
  let me go to New York,
• 37:11
  Mom,
• 37:12
  Danni,
• 37:12
  uh,
• 37:12
  who is the kind of socialist candidate.
• 37:15
  In the New York mayoral race,
• 37:17
  surging in a new poll and now leading Andrew Cuomo,
• 37:20
  leading,
• 37:21
  are you kidding me?
• 37:22
  Leading Andrew Cuomo in this race.
• 37:24
  It's the first time Zorhan Mamdani.
• 37:27
  Now he is
• 37:28
  straight out running like a socialist campaign.
• 37:30
  He's telling everybody that rents will never go up.
• 37:32
  He's going to,
• 37:33
  he's actually legitimately saying.
• 37:35
  He's going to start
• 37:36
  New York City government grocery stores.
• 37:39
  That is like legitimately one of,
• 37:41
  one of his plans.
• 37:42
  Oh,
• 37:42
  yeah,
• 37:43
  we're gonna take all the,
• 37:44
  all the,
• 37:44
  uh,
• 37:44
  profit out.
• 37:45
  I mean,
• 37:45
  he's like arguing against profit.
• 37:47
  This guy's going hardcore.
• 37:49
  Um,
• 37:49
  and this is what makes this race really fascinating.
• 37:51
  Now,
• 37:52
  one thing that makes it fascinating is this,
• 37:53
  Andrew Cuomo
• 37:54
  is awful.
• 37:56
  Dot com.
• 37:57
  It's true.
• 37:58
  He's still awful.
• 37:59
  It's funny because I keep talking to,
• 38:00
  uh,
• 38:01
  some of my friends who are in New York and,
• 38:02
  and they,
• 38:03
  they can't stand Andrew Cuomo,
• 38:05
  uh,
• 38:06
  either based on the fact that he's a horrible,
• 38:08
  horrible human being and he's awful.
• 38:10
  Uh,
• 38:10
  and you know,
• 38:10
  some of these people are like,
• 38:12
  you know,
• 38:12
  they hate him enough to have their own Andrew Cuomo's awful mug.
• 38:15
  They may or may not have that.
• 38:17
  Uh,
• 38:17
  what's fascinating about this is
• 38:19
  there's some real.
• 38:20
  Unease about how this race is going because Cuomo is really,
• 38:24
  really bad,
• 38:25
  but what he is,
• 38:26
  is
• 38:27
  he is certainly a leftist.
• 38:28
  He is certainly a horrible human being in every single way.
• 38:31
  He's certainly a very corrupt in my opinion as well.
• 38:35
  But he,
• 38:36
  he does at least understand that,
• 38:38
  you know,
• 38:39
  business is an important part
• 38:40
  of the world.
• 38:41
  Like,
• 38:41
  you know,
• 38:42
  he's not necessarily
• 38:43
  completely an anti-capitalist.
• 38:45
  He likes the elements of capitalism that personally enrich him,
• 38:48
  which is at least that's more than Mamdani likes.
• 38:50
  Mamdani is like absolute socialist
• 38:53
  slash communist running for office.
• 38:55
  He,
• 38:55
  he,
• 38:56
  they asked him who his favorite mayor was.
• 38:57
  He said,
• 38:58
  uh,
• 38:58
  uh,
• 38:59
  what's his face,
• 39:00
  Bill,
• 39:01
  Bill,
• 39:01
  um,
• 39:02
  what was his name again?
• 39:03
  Bill.
• 39:04
  Uh,
• 39:04
  Bill,
• 39:05
  anyone?
• 39:06
  No one can remember the mayor's name?
• 39:07
  It's de Blasio,
• 39:08
  thank you.
• 39:09
  Bill de Blasio.
• 39:11
  He said his favorite mayor was Bill de Blasio.
• 39:14
  Anyway,
• 39:14
  this guy's a catastrophe,
• 39:16
  endorsed by AOC to tell you how bad they are.
• 39:18
  So,
• 39:19
  uh,
• 39:19
  I do,
• 39:20
  I want to see a poll that has Cuomo,
• 39:23
  Mamdani,
• 39:24
  and,
• 39:24
  uh,
• 39:24
  uh,
• 39:25
  jumping off the George Washington Bridge as options and see where people would go.
• 39:28
  I think I'd be in category 3 on that one.
• 39:31
  if you're looking for a baseball update,
• 39:33
  by the way,
• 39:33
  did you know,
• 39:34
  uh,
• 39:34
  the hottest team in the Major leagues right now is the Toronto Blue Jays?
• 39:37
  I just want to let you know.
• 39:38
  America's team
• 39:39
  is doing great right now,
• 39:40
  um,
• 39:40
  but
• 39:41
  not so great if you happen to be a fan of the Democrats.
• 39:44
  The Republicans drubb Democrats 13 to 2.
• 39:47
  I like,
• 39:47
  I like the use of drub,
• 39:49
  a drubbing,
• 39:50
  uh,
• 39:50
  13 to 2 in the fifth straight congressional baseball game win.
• 39:54
  You think that the,
• 39:55
  the left would,
• 39:56
  uh,
• 39:57
  would be able to be a little more competitive,
• 39:59
  apparently not.
• 40:00
  I don't know.
• 40:01
  I hope they don't go back to their old strategy which
• 40:03
  was killing all the Republicans in the middle of their practices.
• 40:06
  I kind of hope we're past that point,
• 40:08
  but we will see.
• 40:10
  I want to take a break.
• 40:11
  I'll come back on the other side.
• 40:12
  I've got a list
• 40:14
  of the best fast food fries.
• 40:17
  There's been a poll.
• 40:19
  We'll tell you about it next.
• 40:30
  A surprising number of standard investment portfolios
• 40:32
  include companies actively opposing conservative principles.
• 40:35
  I don't know if it's that surprising,
• 40:37
  honestly,
• 40:38
  but investors don't know it all the time,
• 40:40
  and they have hard earned dollars that they've made
• 40:42
  doing the things that they believe are important,
• 40:44
  and they're unknowingly supporting causes they
• 40:47
  would never actually donate to themselves.
• 40:50
  The good news is though,
• 40:51
  investors can do something about this.
• 40:52
  You can take action through strategic
• 40:54
  investment choices and thoughtful shareholder advocacy.
• 40:57
  That sounds like a lot of work.
• 40:58
  It is.
• 40:59
  That's why you have to have Constitutional Wealth do it for you.
• 41:02
  They exist specifically for this reason.

  My opinions,
• 41:42
  however,
• 41:43
  as always,
• 41:44
  are my own.
• 41:48
  Well,
• 41:48
  we have some shocking news from the world of fast food.
• 41:52
  A travesty,
• 41:52
  a sham,
• 41:53
  and a mockery.
• 41:53
  It's a Travis sham mockery,
• 41:54
  at least most of it.
• 41:55
  Some of it's really good.
• 41:56
  Uh,
• 41:56
  the best fast food fries.
• 41:57
  They've got a list,
• 41:59
  uh,
• 41:59
  they've got a top 10 list for,
• 42:00
  but for some reason they actually had 12 on the list,
• 42:02
  so I'll give them to you here.
• 42:03
  They have number 1 In N-Out.
• 42:05
  And if you've never had In N-Out,
• 42:06
  basically In N-Out is like they've got a potato,
• 42:08
  they put it through a shredder,
• 42:09
  they throw it in the fryer.
• 42:10
  There's like nothing done to them other than salting them.
• 42:12
  Super fresh,
• 42:13
  uh,
• 42:13
  for sure.
• 42:14
  Uh,
• 42:14
  I like In N-Out fries,
• 42:15
  but like I wouldn't put them at the top of my list.
• 42:17
  Second is Shake Shack,
• 42:18
  who I would put at the top of my list.
• 42:20
  Shake Shack,
• 42:20
  I think,
• 42:21
  I would argue,
• 42:22
  uh,
• 42:23
  potentially number 1 on the entire list.
• 42:25
  Crinkle cut,
• 42:25
  delicious.
• 42:26
  Uh,
• 42:27
  3 is Freddie's,
• 42:28
  uh,
• 42:29
  steak,
• 42:29
  and shakes and steak burgers.
• 42:32
  Uh,
• 42:32
  Bojangles is next.
• 42:34
  Chick fil A,
• 42:34
  the waffle fries,
• 42:35
  uh,
• 42:35
  delicious.
• 42:36
  Uh,
• 42:37
  Kane's is next,
• 42:39
  Zaxby's,
• 42:39
  Arby's,
• 42:40
  Hardee's at 2.86,
• 42:42
  which is now in ninth place.
• 42:43
  10th,
• 42:44
  Checkers and rallies.
• 42:45
  Checkers and rallies are delicious.
• 42:46
  Their fries,
• 42:47
  we're just,
• 42:47
  me and Dave Landau,
• 42:48
  we were just talking about this the other day.
• 42:49
  They're freaking delicious.
• 42:50
  They're like curly fries but straight.
• 42:52
  I love them.
• 42:53
  Uh,
• 42:53
  Checkers and rallies.
• 42:54
  And then the last two.
• 42:56
  In 11th place,
• 42:57
  McDonald's.
• 42:58
  Yeah,
• 42:59
  they're not even on the list of the top 10.
• 43:01
  They're 11th,
• 43:01
  and in the article it says 12th was KFC.
• 43:04
  They were absolutely last.
• 43:06
  So that's where you go,
• 43:07
  wow,
• 43:07
  I feel like there's some shocking developments there.
• 43:10
  We might have to do a whole monologue on that next week.
• 43:11
  I don't even know.
• 43:12
  All right,
• 43:12
  uh,
• 43:12
  before I go,
• 43:13
  make sure we have Father's Day coming up just a few days away,
• 43:15
  uh,
• 43:16
  right after the national.
• 43:17
  Day of defiance.
• 43:18
  I hope you enjoy both.
• 43:19
  Uh,
• 43:19
  head to StudosAmerica.com.
• 43:21
  Great gift.
