Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mamas. Dear mama's
- 0:02Speaker 1: is it possible to get the teachers unions out of education?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mama is Terry Neediville
- 0:23Speaker 1: and Kimberly Burleson. Oh boy, Randy Weingarten might not like
- 0:28Speaker 1: this this question. Look, the teachers union is a form
- 0:33Speaker 1: of a government union. It's a it's a public not
- 0:36Speaker 1: a private union, public service union and not a private
- 0:38Speaker 1: service union. So there's I've always drawn a big distinction
- 0:42Speaker 1: between say the union for the autoworkers, or the union
- 0:45Speaker 1: for steel mills or the Teamsters versus a union for
- 0:49Speaker 1: a government employee, because there's never an actual balance when
- 0:55Speaker 1: you're dealing with a government union, because the government union
- 0:58Speaker 1: gets the money from the employees that are paid by
- 1:01Speaker 1: the government. They then take that donation and they give
- 1:04Speaker 1: it to Democrats to get them elected, and then they
- 1:07Speaker 1: negotiate with the democrats they got elected to get pay
- 1:10Speaker 1: raises for everybody. So there's nobody that actually is in
- 1:12Speaker 1: the process that's looking out for the taxpayers. Whereas when
- 1:16Speaker 1: you're dealing with a company, if you negotiate too hard,
- 1:19Speaker 1: for the payers, for the employees. The company goes broken,
- 1:21Speaker 1: all those employees are out of a job. That's never
- 1:23Speaker 1: the case with government unions, and so unions drive me crazy,
- 1:27Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:27Speaker 3: And they're not looking after the kids.
- 1:29Speaker 1: That's right, that's the other party. There is no union
- 1:31Speaker 1: for students. Absolutely, that's a big problem too. So is
- 1:34Speaker 1: it possible to get the teachers' unions out of government
- 1:39Speaker 1: run education?
- 1:39Speaker 3: I feel like it would be the best thing that
- 1:41Speaker 3: would happen. And I know a lot of people think
- 1:43Speaker 3: differently than me. I saw the Babylon be They posted
- 1:46Speaker 3: saying the Democrats warnant abolishing Department of Education could result
- 1:49Speaker 3: in kids being too smart to vote for Democrats. That
- 1:52Speaker 3: could be what they're fearing. But what we do see
- 1:55Speaker 3: is that our schools are failing in epic proportions, and
- 1:59Speaker 3: it's pretty much educational malpractice.
- 2:02Speaker 1: There's only one state where students are actually scoring higher
- 2:05Speaker 1: now than they did in twenty nineteen, and that's the
- 2:08Speaker 1: state of Louisiana. That's really only state where they're scoring
- 2:11Speaker 1: both higher in both reading and in math.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Think about this, Yes, it can be taken out because
- 2:19Speaker 4: guess what, Jimmy Carter is the one that brought it
- 2:22Speaker 4: in in the first place. We were the States were
- 2:25Speaker 4: doing fine. We may we pay more money per student
- 2:30Speaker 4: than any other country. And where are we education rate
- 2:34Speaker 4: is at the lowest. We have the worst or next
- 2:38Speaker 4: to the bottom well of industrialized nations, we've dropped down
- 2:42Speaker 4: to like I guess we were at number one.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I think we're now like worldwide, I think we're around
- 2:46Speaker 1: the first seven child.
- 2:48Speaker 4: We pay the most tax number one, but yeah, we.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Pay more, kind of like our healthcare system. We pay
- 2:53Speaker 1: more for our health care system, and we don't get
- 2:55Speaker 1: any good result.
- 2:56Speaker 4: No, And I would have thought that the teacher's union
- 2:58Speaker 4: would have been a smart thing too, But then you
- 3:01Speaker 4: see Randy Winegarden and you see what happened throughout COVID.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Some of the teachers, not all. Some of the teachers
- 3:08Speaker 4: loved loved doing zoom. They loved not having to go
- 3:12Speaker 4: to school and work and be in front of those children,
- 3:14Speaker 4: and they made up this lie that they were scared
- 3:17Speaker 4: for their lives. And Randy Winegarden, who I'm very sure
- 3:20Speaker 4: is getting kicked back somewhere, but it was so obvious
- 3:24Speaker 4: to everybody. This is when we say there's a reason
- 3:27Speaker 4: why all of that COVID stuff happened. Without Zoom, we
- 3:30Speaker 4: would never have known what was being taught to our children,
- 3:34Speaker 4: what was being propaganda's to our children. And so she
- 3:38Speaker 4: gets out there and she is this fiery yelling. She
- 3:42Speaker 4: has no balance. There's nothing about her that makes me think,
- 3:48Speaker 4: now there's a teacher, there's a leader, there's somebody that
- 3:50Speaker 4: was born to be for children. She's not so to
- 3:54Speaker 4: see this part be taken away. Hopefully it's going to
- 3:58Speaker 4: be the best thing to ever happened, because that money
- 4:01Speaker 4: will actually go to these schools and to these students,
- 4:05Speaker 4: and we'll be able to we're getting the propaganda outs.
- 4:07Speaker 1: When you're talking about taking the Department of Education out
- 4:10Speaker 1: and just block granting money back to the stags, we're
- 4:13Speaker 1: talking about yeah, yes.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Yeah, And they're going to make sure that whatever they're studying,
- 4:20Speaker 4: whenever they have their curriculums, it's going to be America
- 4:24Speaker 4: first patriotic. They're not going to paint anyone as victims
- 4:27Speaker 4: because we went a few years and we only know
- 4:29Speaker 4: this by Zoom, where they were making the white children
- 4:31Speaker 4: feel pretty terrible about being the color white.
- 4:35Speaker 1: And telling black children that you're a victim and.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Black families like, don't tell my child they're a victim.
- 4:41Speaker 4: They don't want their children to have a victimhood mentality.
- 4:44Speaker 4: So we've seen so much and this is when I think, God,
- 4:47Speaker 4: you had a big plan, didn't you. We had to
- 4:50Speaker 4: go through those years that were absolute torture and hell
- 4:54Speaker 4: so that we could see the truth and then do
- 4:56Speaker 4: something about it. This is one way.
- 4:58Speaker 3: The good thing about it being on a state level. Two,
- 5:01Speaker 3: I believe is we can weed out the bad ones.
- 5:03Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad teachers because of the union.
- 5:05Speaker 3: You couldn't get rid.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Of the badness.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, you still can't.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, those are the ones that need to go,
- 5:11Speaker 3: and the ones that are doing well need to be elevated.
- 5:14Speaker 3: They need to get raises, they need to It needs
- 5:16Speaker 3: to be merit based.
- 5:17Speaker 1: And yet that's not what that's not how unions operate.
- 5:20Speaker 1: And by the way, that's not how government operates. For
- 5:22Speaker 1: the most part. Government doesn't deal with raises based on merit.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It bases raises based on tenure.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what's wrong, that's what's easy.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that this is we're going it's going
- 5:33Speaker 4: to happen, hopefully, if not now in two years when
- 5:37Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be a red wave and then
- 5:39Speaker 4: we'll be able to get the stuff done. You know.
- 5:41Speaker 4: And if you ask me, if you require voter I
- 5:44Speaker 4: D in every single state, we're going to see a
- 5:47Speaker 4: lot of Republicans and leadership roles.
