0:03

All right, we're back. We're back. I'm sorry. I've got plenty

0:06

of email from upset listeners. We haven't put any fresh content out here in

0:09

a couple of weeks. It's fresh today, though, very fresh, fresh

0:13

catch and we are up right. Let's see this content was swimming around in

0:18

the ocean this morning. We're right. We're in between Thanksgiving, Christmas and

0:26

general. We didn't do a show right for Thanksgiving? Of course, it's

0:29

Black Friday, that's true. Can't do anything on Black Friday. But apparently

0:34

spend money that no one seems to have. Well, the government prints it

0:38

out for you, that's true. Thanks for the reminder. Thank god,

0:41

we've got the government that you can just keep printing money that we can spend

0:44

on things we don't need. They don't even print it anymore. They just

0:47

make digital bucks. I heard, I heard crypto but digital. I heard

0:51

that since September, we are expecting to add one trillion to our deficit by

0:59

the end of the year. Since September. Them's called interest payments with higher

1:04

interest rates. Well, and don't think that somebody is just loading this all

1:08

this. It's kept trillion to us. Either they're printing it, they're making

1:12

it out of thin air, and they're taking your balance of one hundred thousand

1:15

dollars and making it worth about fifty Your kids and your grandkids are going to

1:19

have to wrestle with this. And this is exactly that. This is the

1:23

x, this is the target. This is what we think is the most

1:26

important aspect of American society right now. We can deal with culture wars,

1:33

we can deal with foreign wars, we cannot deal with an unsustainable money press

1:41

printing press where we're all just living on sugar highs. Yeah, one hundred

1:47

and thirty five dollars hamburgers of McDonald's eventually, so the inflation. We have

1:51

the main street economy. Now during the day, in my background, when

1:55

I'm in my car, I'll listen to Bloomberg Radio. You know, in

1:59

Bloomberg Gradia. Know they everything's great. They're on Wall Street. They are

2:05

and they got their advanced degrees. They're plugged into the super the super economy

2:12

that is above Main Street. It's all taking the money that's collected from the

2:15

work, from the working class and from the government through purchases and spending and

2:22

taxes and confiscatory regulations and regulations. You know, I mean, your your

2:29

your paycheck just shrinks and shrinks and shrinks. But those are the kind of

2:31

people say, oh, just add extra zero to that. But the shrinking

2:36

of your paycheck, the invisible aspect, the invisible robber, is the inflation.

2:40

Right. I've got a perfect example of that, by the way.

2:44

A guy hired me to do a DUI case for him about seven years ago,

2:47

and he paid me one hundred dollars bills. The one hundred dollar bills

2:51

were from nineteen thirties. No, they found underneath his bed in a lock

2:55

box that his grandfather had left to him, and there was ten thousand bucks

2:59

in there, and he paid thirty five hundred dollars in one hundred dollars bills.

3:02

And I'm thinking, my goodness back in the nineteen thirty that I want

3:07

you a house. I want to just a little foreshatting. We're going to talk about the role of education in the American public education this show, and

3:14

really a much broader view kind of the history of state mandated, state compelled

3:23

education of the youth, state controlled, state led. Yeah, so we're

3:25

gonna do some wordsmithing on this, but before you that, let's hit some

3:30

news. So inflation. This is Bidenomics, and I just want to say,

3:34

you know, nice, try Bloomberg Radio, CNBC, Wall Street Journal,

3:39

New York Times, the big national Press. It's all going so well.

3:44

This economy will catch up to you. It will catch up to you.

3:46

You will find you're going to find a hotel room that you're used to

3:50

staying at that is now just getting outside your reach. You're going to find

3:54

that maybe renting a car when you travel, all of a sudden you're looking

3:59

at the cars below, You're not looking at the upgrade. You're going to

4:03

start to discover, if you haven't already, that your credit card bills just

4:08

continue to get worse and worse, and the growth and you look like,

4:12

what the hell was spending our money on? And we go groceries, yes,

4:16

right, groceries. Your grocery bill every time you go, it's three

4:19

figures. Well, Biden is going to find out that you can build a

4:23

bridge across the river made a paper mache and it is cheaper. Joe to

4:29

Biden. This entire regime, Republican Democrat combined, this entire regime, You

4:34

and the party, all right, keep trying to convince and shame the American

4:39

people that everything's fine, everything's fine. Well, let me tell you what

4:43

was fine. From twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. We had lower prices,

4:48

rising wages, low interest rates, low unemployment, cheap gas, low unemployment,

4:55

thank you, and really no major no wars to find. Yeah,

5:00

I was gonna say no major foreign stressors like foreign wars. And the Buckeyes

5:05

never lost to Michigan. That's that's true twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. Right

5:10

now, I'm not blaming the highest state loss on Joe Biden. I am.

5:14

I'm trying, but we were just demoralized. We're getting demoralized. And

5:18

our boys, our players, they're going out there and those fancy shoes that

5:24

they're wearing, you know, they're they're with their their cleats. The money

5:29

that they're getting. Their money is just not going to be worth as much. And our players know it's like, man, I need a pay raise.

5:34

I can't be we're getting this million nil deal. Last year you gave

5:38

me it's only wor it's not worth as much this year. They wantn't you.

5:41

So we're getting some morale problems. I think with the buck guys.

5:44

They don't like the inflation. The players don't like the inflation. It's getting

5:47

too much, too much. The people are unhappy, they're not buying it,

5:51

and wages have not kept up. The nil deals may not be keeping

5:58

up real wealth, declining, income, declining healthcare through the roof, electricity,

6:05

food housing, college tuition. The Coffeles have two college kids next year.

6:10

We havee I'm three kids in college next year, three kids in college

6:14

next year, and these kids need cars. So it is a unbelievably expensive

6:21

in twenty twenty four, end of twenty twenty three. This isn't random.

6:27

Now Biden takes over an economy that was already in recovery. We had a

6:31

lot of extra cash sloshing around from the PPP the other COVID related stimulus programs

6:39

in this time last year General we were pounding on the desk. We were

6:43

telling everyone, We were telling our listeners were just echoing what a lot of

6:46

other smart people were saying. The Inflation Reduction Act is going to do the

6:50

exact opposite. This additional stimulus is only going to trigger more nineteen seventy style

6:57

inflation. How you feel about that, old You know, it sucks when

7:00

your predictions come become right. The raising the money that's in and the money

7:06

that's being printed is causing inflation, which forces interest rates up, which makes

7:13

servicing of the national debt and your debt that much more expensive. And the

7:18

and then the people that the companies that have to peg their profits to interest

7:24

rates, who do their performance, they're planning, they have to raise their

7:29

prices. And now go buy a house, go look at rents. It's

7:35

real. And Biden's dismal pull numbers are a reflection of the Buckeyes losing a

7:44

Michigan and this inflation. Am I wrong? No, it's there's only one

7:50

place where sustained inflation comes from, and that's from the printing of money.

7:55

You know, you look at this guy that just won down in Argentina and

7:58

that one of it we're going to do. We're gonn to talk about that

8:00

guy of his One of his major platforms that he said he's not going back

8:03

on, he says, we are getting rid of the central bank. Yeah,

8:07

so again, just go back to central banks, the federalists and the

8:11

anti federalists. It's a big issue. Jefferson fought back at central Bank.

8:18

Jackson Jefackson fought back at central bank. And then they slid one in on

8:22

You a night between nineteen ten and nineteen thirteen. Same time they slid in

8:28

the Creature from Jekyl Island. The same time they slid in the Federal Reserve,

8:31

the same time they slid in the Federal Income Tax the town. Same

8:33

time they slid us into they busted up the Monroe Doctor and then slid us

8:37

into foreign wars. Same time they slid in eugenics, same time they slid

8:43

in other major progressive, anti liberal abortion too. Same time they slid in

8:50

education reform, which is what we're going to talk about today, but after

8:56

the break, but still staying on point here real quick, this race to

8:58

the White House. Of course, you've got the clash of the of the

9:03

red governor and the blue governor. DeSantis and Chicklets. Gavin Newsom, good

9:11

lord. Apparently apparently Gavin Newsom thinks that he's running for president. He was

9:16

just in China. Did you see the VDA of him blowing over a couple

9:20

kids of Chinese kids on the basketball court. I did. I've always thought

9:22

of him as like trying to run for Mitt Romney. He's trying to be

9:26

the next Romney. These two states, Florida, and Californication have twenty percent

9:33

of the country's population. So the Murdoch News Network puts on this debate,

9:39

right Gavin Newsom, by the way, there's no democratic primaries this year.

9:43

Biden is the incumbent. Newsom was just in China, as we said,

9:46

running over small Chinese children on the basketball court. He's been giving interviews to

9:50

Sean Hannity. Feels like a shadow campaign from the shadow government for the life.

10:00

And this does start to feel like with the elephant. Separate nation states

10:05

like Europe, just not as many small pieces. If you're going to divide

10:09

it divided and divided. And they told us if this is what they were

10:16

going to do to us, Welcome back for the Defense of the American people.

10:43

With Attorney Brad Kaffel and a general Attorney, Eric Willison, Monday through

10:46

Friday, the law mules here. We will come to your county. If

10:50

you loved one family member someone's in trouble, well that doesn't matter. We'll

10:54

come find you. No case, no case too small will be there.

10:58

Six one four eight four eleven hundred, six four eleven hundred, Well you

11:03

might want to call us in the traffic ticket. The race of the White

11:07

House is on like Donkey Kong, and as usual general the American people we're

11:13

eager, you know, we're paying attention because they want us to pay attention

11:16

to the talking heads that somehow, yet again a new president in the White

11:22

House can solve the problems that plague us. I do feel like the American

11:26

people are the dog and the establishment, whoever they are, whatever it is,

11:31

has the ball and it pretends to throw the ball, and we look

11:33

the way that we think the ball is being thrown, but then they don't

11:37

throw it, and they roll the ball the other direction and some other dog

11:41

gets it. What is being staged is not an election. It's a con

11:45

game. The we, the people are nothing more than rubes. We're being

11:48

duped into believing that we get to choose. So this is a long running,

11:54

elaborate scam to keep the deep embedded interests in power, the administrative state,

12:03

K Street, the corporate donor class, the people that the individuals,

12:11

the people in corporations that feed off that five six seven trillion dollar trough known

12:20

as the United States Treasury. The whole idea is to leave the populace deluded.

12:28

And I'm using that word on purpose and I'm going to bring that word

12:31

back, either this segment or next segment. Very important word, one of

12:35

the most important words, diluted as it relates to the creation of the American

12:41

public education system. Come back to the word diluted and denuded. We demand

12:50

accountability, we get no accountability. We demand transparency, we get no transparency.

12:58

We are hoping that those people that go to DC serve the public interest

13:03

and then leave after a term or two. You don't stay for fifty years

13:07

and enrich yourself. Does that sound like anyone? You know, there's some

13:13

certain trends there that we see you over and over again. So I did

13:18

see that one of the we are changing someone Steiper. It does sound like

13:20

former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Oh my goodness. Maybe packing it up and let's

13:26

see if he goes back to Bakersfield, California, or if he finds a nice, cushy, cozy job in the Beltway just before he advises us to

13:35

all vote for Darling Nikky and he'll use his watch watch McCarthy. Baiales takes

13:41

his pack money and campaigns against the Republican the GOP members that voted against him.

13:48

Watch see what happens. It's all revenge, right right. So politics

13:54

as a political science major, this is kind of what I remember, This

13:56

is what I came around from learning, is that is merely propaganda. Heavily

14:03

scripted, tightly choreographed, ratings driven, mass marketed, extremely expensive, much

14:11

like a kabooki theater, very expensive. And we're being sold this carefully crafted

14:16

product by the money delete who are masters in the art of making the public

14:24

believe that they need exactly what is being sold to them. So, whether

14:28

it's the latest ti tech gadget, the hottest toy, or the most charismatic

14:33

politician, you're being played. It's a reality show. And the more you

14:37

spend time and we, unfortunately we spend a fair amount of time paying attention

14:41

to this stuff, usually about an hour a week. But what every time

14:45

I come out of this to go, this is propaganda. We live in

14:48

a propaganda state. Americans only think they're choosing the next president. We go

14:52

through the illusion of something called the ritual of voting, and the whole idea

15:00

is to keep the populace compliant. Now we're getting into some history. Now,

15:05

speaking of history. Speaking of history, the way you keep your population

15:09

compliant was through what maybe the threat of the guilty, the sword, imprisonment.

15:16

Bestille I saw Napoleon? Did you see Have you seen Napoleon yet?

15:22

I have not actually seen that, because it seems to be more about his

15:26

personality, which was the least important part of him. So as our lives

15:31

are continue to be controlled more and more by algorithms AI quantum computing, I

15:39

suggest that more people spend time reading history. Not get your head out of

15:43

the out of the algorithm world. Read history, study history, or like

15:48

watch something on your phone about history. You know, don't just don't just

15:54

sit there with TikTok and the Napoleon. Very disappointed in the movie, real

15:58

quick, go watch it for yourself. Don't take my word for it.

16:02

But it's getting panned. And I don't put a lot of weight in what

16:06

critics say because a lot of the movies that I loved, the critics didn't

16:11

love, and vice versa. But Napoleon, here's a dude, there's so

16:15

much material that you can do with Napoleon. And I'm gonna We're gonna tie

16:18

Napoleon into the American educational system in just a minute. Wait you see this.

16:23

It's Napoleon, who's not even from France, immigrates from the Italian speaking

16:29

island. Of course, here winds up being a general at the age of

16:33

twenty four. Now Joaquin Phoenix is playing young general Napoleon at the age of

16:38

twenty four and Joaquines, what sixty yes? And that was problem number one

16:42

that I saw. One thing Napoleon was able to do is he like Donald

16:48

Trump. He had his finger in the air, and he knew where the

16:52

tide was turning. He knew where were the people, where the people were

16:56

turning, and he was able to pick the winning side in the French Revolution,

17:00

not once but twice. So he picked the right side when it came

17:04

with the French Revolution, he picked the cruxt side again. After the Rain

17:10

of Terror ends and Robespierre lost his head, he becomes Francis Caesar. He

17:18

steam rolls much of Europe up into Prussia. By the way, that's what

17:23

we're tying into the American educational system. Prussia, which think of as Germany,

17:30

decides to invade Russia in the winter. Whoops, he hadn't read enough

17:34

history. Exiled to Alba, nice, nice little island in the in the

17:41

med comes back in power hundred days huh undred days back in Power loses to

17:48

Wellington at Waterloo. The regular listeners of the show know that made the very

17:56

very uh wealthy family, the Rothschild's extremely wealthy because the Rothschild's bet on both

18:06

sides of that. And there's a whole big story on how the roth Child's

18:11

in England. Nathan Rothschild just made a ton of money on learning that Wellington

18:18

had beat Napoleon at Waterloo. For anybody else, then they send Napoleon to

18:23

a rock one thousand miles off the coast of Africa. Like Saint Helena.

18:26

I think Saint Helena very well, very good, dead at age fifty one,

18:32

so much to tell, still not as old as ya. Joaquin Phoenix,

18:38

so much to tell. Ridley Scott, Joaquin Phoenix, Napoleon so much

18:44

to work. Two thumbs down. Speaking of foreign fairs, Henry Kissinger dead

18:48

at one hundred. I think John, I think we might need to do

18:51

a show on Henry Kissinger. I didn't ever meet him, but I walked

18:53

past him one time when I was at the Republican Convention back in Minnesota,

18:59

back in two and eight Minnesota. Yeah, he was sitting there in a

19:03

wheel probably, Yes, he was sitting there in a wheelchair and being interviewed

19:08

by somebody, and I just I think they called him kissy or hank.

19:12

I think they were kissy pooh, kissy po hanky hanky pooh. Uh.

19:17

General, did you see that Philadelphia is banning ski masks in public places?

19:23

W? C. Fields is right about them. Go ahead. Well,

19:27

he just always said, you know, that was the worst place ever.

19:30

And then when he finally passed away, he put on his gravestone on the

19:34

whole rather be in Philadelphia banning ski masks and public places. Obviously the crime

19:41

is out of control, and they need to identify who the purps are wearing

19:45

ski masks? Well, so why why wouldn't they just wear like medical masks.

19:48

So the ACLU is all up in arms because it's racial profiling. By

19:52

the way, check the administration in Philadelphia for any white people. They're all

19:57

skiing. Did you say they're all skiing? Yes? Checking in on the

20:06

Ukraine War for our listeners. Putin wants women to have eight kids because they're

20:11

running short of soldiers in Ukraine. Is now enlisting grandfathers. Good job,

20:17

Cia. What's her name, Victoria Newland. We're getting close to that here,

20:21

they're raising the entry age for the United States Army up into the mid

20:25

thirties. Now they're ramping up. I'm just telling you that things are going

20:30

to get much worse, much faster. They're just they're people who are being

20:36

who are conspiracy theorists down the rabbit hole. They're being called whatever. Whatever.

20:42

They know. They know what's happened. They know what's happening. Anyway,

20:45

After the break, let's take a dive. Where does Napoleon and Prussia

20:48

and the American educational system what do they intercept? After the break, we're

20:52

going to tell you all about it. All right, Thank you for joining

21:14

so you can catch the show every Friday night on six WTV and six pm,

21:21

Sunday's eleven AM and Sunday's seven pm. Also on the Apple podcast Purple

21:27

Podcast Button for the Defense with Brad Kaffel. I saw general that college degrees

21:33

are losing their value. My buddies and I are friends who have college age

21:37

kids and older high school kids. We're starting to look at the cost of

21:42

tuition. We are looking at our retirement accounts. We are looking at the

21:47

economy that our kids may inherit in four, five, six, seven,

21:52

eight years, and we're listening to the drivel that our kids are coming up

21:55

with when they repeat their professors. Yes, and especially the high scho just

22:00

had a difficult, just a tricky conversation with my kids a couple of nights

22:04

ago. Quick segue. They're reading a book on Thomas Jefferson. They bring

22:08

home an excerpt. The girls asked me some questions about Monticello. Yeah,

22:14

been there? What do you need to know? Been there? Done that you want to talk about TJ. Dad will talk to you about TJ.

22:19

Let's get the General on the phone. We will teach you everything you need

22:22

to know about Thomas Jefferson, Jimmy Madison, the Virginian Plantation, Republicans,

22:29

the Agrarian Republic. What do you need to know? Well, did you

22:33

know that he impregnated a slave? Did you know that he had slaves?

22:37

It was slave, slaves, slave? And I said, okay, correct,

22:41

you can't talk about Thomas Jefferson and some of the founding fathers without talking

22:45

about slavery, of course, But did you know that when they wrote the

22:49

Declaration of Independence they knew they were putting into motion the ultimate freedom and elimination

22:57

of the ancient institutions? They knew, they knew, they it just couldn't

23:03

happen immediately. What other nation sent their boys to kill other boys of the

23:11

same nation the resulted in ferring of slaves. So if we're going to have

23:15

a conversation about race and slavery and founding fathers and Thomas Jefferson, let's have

23:22

an honest one, not one that's too far to the right or too far

23:26

to the left. Well, I recall when somebody came up to me and

23:29

said, did you know that he owned slaves? I said, did you

23:32

know that? He was famous for other things? So college degrees are losing

23:37

the value I do. A buddy mind sent me this this morning. Nearly

23:41

quote, nearly half of all half of US companies, nearly half of US

23:47

companies planned to acts bachelor degree requirements after Walmart, Accenture and IBM lead the

23:52

charge. Some forty five percent of companies plan to eliminate bachelor degree requirements.

23:59

Fifty five percent say they are going to eliminate bachelor's degrees next year. And

24:07

that begs the question, why are we Well that's a whole other topic,

24:11

right, What do we do with college what do we do with senator kids?

24:15

To college, these outrageous tuitions, the dim prospects for employment. A

24:19

lot of companies are just saying, let's just give our employees an intelligence test

24:25

and if they score in the top ninety seven percent, I will put them

24:27

in management. Can we agree that corporate America has a vested interest in the

24:33

education of the American youth. Corporate America does, but unfortunately so does government

24:41

America. Now, before we go there, I want to mention affinity schools.

24:47

I sent you this article. I don't know if you guys saw this. Wall Street Journal November twenty six features a school in Evanston and Illinois Northwestern

24:56

where they're having school. They're having classes segregated by race, Black and Latino

25:03

classes taught just black and Latino kids taught by black or Latino teachers. And

25:11

well they're segregated by some races, the black students. This is from Monique

25:17

Parsons, Evanson school board vice president said at a November board meeting, our

25:22

black students, our black students are for lack of a better word, at

25:26

the bottom consistently still and they're being outperformed consistently. So the answer is according

25:33

to Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, and now this northern Chicago

25:40

suburb is to create segregated classrooms. A lady by the name of Dina Luna

25:49

says, quote a lot of times within our education system, black students are

25:53

expected to conform to a white standard. Dina Luna, who leads this Black

25:59

student Achievement initiatives in the Minneapolis public schools, goes on to say, in

26:03

our space is you don't have to shed one ounce of yourself because everything about

26:08

our space is rooted in blackness. She should marry a man whose last name

26:12

is Tick, so she there was a in Minneapolis. This program was created

26:19

in twenty fifteen. It's been up and running for seven years. Let's take

26:23

a look. Internal study, cording to Wall Street Journal, internal study,

26:26

how is the affinity classroom a nice woke term for segregation or racism? How's

26:34

it working? It found that it bumped the average GPA from a two to

26:42

one four to a two two seven. I could have done that, all

26:47

right, all right, and it's with great inflation. Let's talk about America's

26:51

education system, because what is truly remarkable is how many of us are products

26:56

of this system. Many of people continue to be proponent of this compulsory government

27:03

run school. It's just the way it's been, the way it has to

27:06

be. The system is not functioning well at all. We've been at this

27:11

for how many generations, how many hundreds of years? So I yesterday,

27:18

yesterday, I have a Life magazine from October sixteen, nineteen fifty in my

27:26

office, a bunch of old stuff like this, a little museum dolls.

27:30

So I'm walking by, and I see. I didn't even I've seen this

27:34

thing. Later, I never picked it up. I haven't. I pulled

27:37

out of its plastic cover. I read the Life magazine from October sixteen,

27:41

nineteen fifty. The cover of the magazine is called The Battle for the Mind.

27:45

Now listen to this. This is nineteen fifty. On the cover is

27:48

a Winnetka High School girl New Trier High School. It is one of the

27:55

best school systems in the United States. Very very wealthy community, very wealthy.

28:02

The entire issue is dedicated to the American education education system. The premise

28:07

was can humanity ever achieve wisdom enough to cease praying upon itself? Do Americans

28:14

have the intellectual and moral stamina to fight back? Do we have the brains

28:18

to match our brond So this is five years removed from World War Two,

28:23

and they mentioned H. G. Wells, a prophet says human history becomes

28:30

more and more a race between education and catastrophe. The rise of liberalism,

28:34

the rise of enlightenment in Europe and the United States required, especially the United

28:40

States, an educated American and an educated people will keep tyranny out of its

28:48

nation. So America's educational system, one of history's grandest social triumphs, according

28:56

to this magazine from nineteen fifty, is advocating it sees the rise of internationalism

29:03

in the schools. This is the heir of McCarthy. So Life Magazine says,

29:08

America, wake up, our schools, keep us free. Democracy cannot

29:15

work without an enlightened electorate. We cannot achieve unity without nationalism, and will

29:22

do the enlightening. We cannot absorb tens of millions of immigrants without check this

29:30

out rapid and effective Americanization. This is Life Magazine, nineteen fifty, which

29:37

we will define. Our schools have the momentous responsibility of inspiring the next generation

29:45

to hold allegiance to the historic principles of democracy, nationalism, and Americanism.

29:52

And they go on to mention that we are a very young nation where the

29:56

oldest democracy, we have the oldest book school system in the world. That

30:00

was starting the Massachusetts Bay Colony in sixteen forty seven. And let me bring

30:07

out the word diluter. I mentioned this earlier in the show. The Massachusetts

30:11

school laws enacted in sixteen forty seven. One of the first phrases old deluter

30:18

satan, meaning generally that Satan will delude you if you're not enlightened. And

30:30

this is the basis of the American educational system, that ignorance will bring in

30:36

Satan, and a lot of Americans, especially on the Christian right, I

30:41

think we are in the end of days the religious wars, and ignorance allows

30:48

Satan and evil to enter your nation. And the premise of the Massachusetts Bay

30:55

Connolly Colony was we have to teach that it's Latin so they've can read the

31:02

Bible, and then we have to make sure they know how to be proper

31:06

citizens to protect this new republic. Look back, we're getting into the general

31:33

and I are getting into the role. Where did compulsory public educational company and

31:38

you might be government, you might be surprised, came from the government person.

31:42

But originally the idea was from the Massachusetts Bay Colony that that ignorance would

31:49

allow Satan to permeate through the colonies. And it required that we had grammar

31:56

schools so that kids could could learn Latin to read the Bible. And then

32:01

they created Harvard College to prepare the right young men for ministry. Turns out

32:08

stateanon takes a lot of forms exactly so including a team up North. Illiteracy

32:15

keeps men from the knowledge of the scriptures, and then we get to civic

32:21

illiteracy. It keeps the people unaware of free will, unaware of what's actually

32:29

happening to them. Most founding fathers would tell you that this was a government

32:32

designed for moral people. We build our universities like cathedrals, So the early

32:37

universities built like cathedrals. You start to see that. And then the generation

32:44

that fought the Revolution got busy creating dozens of colleges, established state universities within

32:49

land grants. Of course, if you know high state unfortunately land grant they

32:53

forget that you should be allowing more Ohio kids in not bringing in all the

32:58

out of state kids and jacking up to two it anyway, or the out of country kids, and that in order to we had to get busy self

33:04

governing, because if we don't know how to self govern, someone's going to

33:07

do it for us. So we were a car without a steering wheel. General George Washington did what Napoleon did not do. He refused to wear a

33:15

crown, he refused to make himself a monarch, and he refused to stay

33:17

in office after two terms. And like we say, politicians and diapers have

33:21

one thing in common, it need to be changed frequently. For the same reason, the American education system has protected us to date from the evil mind

33:30

viruses of fascism, Nazism, communism. Something is slythering, and in general,

33:37

something is slithering in and the going back to where the entire concept came

33:45

from, let's talk about Napoleon, Let's talk about Prussia. We talked about

33:47

Napoleon a little bit earlier. So Prussia, basically big Germany, was a

33:52

state and Central Europe, and a dude there by the name of Frederick the

33:58

Great created a saw Prussia get its rear in handed to him by Napoleon.

34:07

Frederick the Great saw his soldiers basically give up. They were complacent, they

34:13

were too worried about themselves. Not enough about the nation. Then he said,

34:15

I'd better start living up to this name. So Frederick said, we

34:20

need to get to the kids early. We need to instill in them duty

34:24

to us, oath to the nation first. So you had the beginning of

34:30

in the Prussian and Frederic the great, the school system that became the German

34:36

Empire that produced some of the greatest universities. It started here, and it

34:40

was after Napoleon goes in and Crussia's Prussia hai Poland. And the idea was

34:49

that we need to build soldiers, and we need to build young men who

34:54

are going to be obedient to the state US. We all we also need

35:00

to take the revolutionary spirit out of the people. So one of the dark,

35:05

untold histories of the American public school system was designed to mitigate this revolutionary

35:10

spirit that was spreading across Europe. In the eighteen hundreds, there was a

35:15

legitimate concern general that America was not going to survive unless we could team this

35:21

free individualism, this American spirit, this liberty all right, and taking a

35:27

liberty son. So a dude by the name of Horace Mann, father of

35:30

American education, the first Secretary of Education in Massachusetts in eighteen forty three,

35:40

goes to Berlin to study the Prussian education system again. Frederick the Great created

35:47

his educational system specifically as a means to control his population, so that he

35:54

had an army that would would have a fealty to the nation state, it

36:01

wouldn't just give up so soon. And the teachers basically became military occupiers to

36:08

teach imperial German what became German nationalism, and to remove the Polish identity and

36:15

language. It's a tremendous simplification, but that's what was happening. And the

36:22

powers that be in the United States just before the Civil War were like,

36:27

we got to tighten things up here. So horse Man and some other dudes

36:30

go to Berlin and they saw how the beginnings of the German Empire were doing

36:37

it, and they bring this back. They bring this back, and the

36:42

idea was, we have this rapid immigration, we will use the schools to

36:47

create a unique American identity. And it was how to teach the kids how

36:53

to read the Bible, how to teach a work ethic for productivity and society,

36:59

how to respect for authority and social uniformity, and to accept your masters.

37:05

And so yeah, an extreme example would be the Indian schools, where

37:08

we forced Indian children to go civilized, to kind of take their their uh

37:15

their them the beast, I guess, you know, but to kind of take the Indian out of the Indian and stamp out native customs and language.

37:22

We use schools to do that. They became in doctrination centers. Then you

37:25

get into the industrial era, your Robert, your Robber Barons, your Ford's,

37:30

Rockefeller Carnegies. They lean in on the American public education system while they

37:36

send their kids to private schools and then to private Lee universities. They rewrite

37:42

the curriculum for this public education like, hey, this has been really good

37:45

for the rise of nationalism and patriotism. Look at these obedient students. We

37:52

need we need not just factory workers and coal miners, but we need middle

37:55

managers. We need vice presidents, we need we need smart peace people to

38:00

come and run our business. We need presidents. So I look at,

38:04

for instance, I look at the public defender's office or the prosecutor's office.

38:07

Is my farm team if I need to hire an associate, reach into their

38:12

great training rounds. Well, Rockefeller Carnegie for the whole lot. They looked

38:17

at the American education system as the same thing, like, why don't we

38:22

lean in and rewrite the curriculum so that we have workers, competent workers to

38:28

keep churning out the machine. You will exist to services us. That makes

38:34

sense, Okay, I get that. I'm not necessarily taking exception with that.

38:38

However, they create something called the General Education Board in nineteen oh six.

38:44

In general, it is surprisingly frank in its goals. I will read

38:49

to you in our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding

38:54

hands. We shall not try to make these people, or any of their

38:59

children into fullilosophers or men of learning or men of science. We already do

39:02

that. We have not to raise up from them. Among them authors,

39:07

educators, poets, or men of letters. We'll pick those. We have

39:10

an ample supply of children from the wealthiest families. Yeah, white male Protestant,

39:16

privately educated, who will run the country. So the gen pop the

39:22

general population, to use the criminal defense phrase, the gen pop education begins

39:30

to imprint the values on the youth that the corporate class wants printed on the

39:39

youth. Now we're seeing the same thing, that same social engineering that Frederick

39:45

the Great did in Prussia that Horace Man did to create a very patriotic century

39:52

in the eighteen hundreds. In the early nineteen hundreds, the same thing that

39:57

the robber barons did in the industrially was done in the social engineering of the

40:02

sixties. Education would be in the Prussian early German Empire fashion a means to

40:10

achieve important economic and social goals to redefine our national character. And when you

40:20

have the central planning at the federal government level of our nation's education of our

40:25

children i e. Common Core i e. The Department of Education, we

40:30

now have the lowering of the standards. Children are not going to be taught

40:37

by classroom teachers, but now going to be managed by distant experts. Teachers

40:44

are instructed to stick to the written word that we give you, and the

40:49

idea is to hit those standardized tests well. Once the standardized tests, Once

40:54

the standardized test started to show the major gaps and how we teaching the gen

41:00

pop general population, we get rid of the standardized test. Now we find

41:06

out that the con game of these outrageous college tuitions and people are and now

41:13

you have corporate America that's leaning in heavily and out of nowhere saying, we

41:16

don't really need your kids to go to college anymore. We'll take them,

41:22

bring them into our corporate machine. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm not

41:27

saying it's good. I'm just making an observation. But what is truly remarkable

41:31

to me general is that many of us, as products of the system,

41:37

have accepted this educational system in the United States as normal, natural, unavoidable.

41:45

I say, as soon as Republicans get the Congress, including the Senate

41:49

next year and the White House boom, blow up that central planning thing known

41:54

as the Federal Department of Education, take it local politics, family value,

42:00

local education, and private
