00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.240
A courageous Oklahoma team finds himself entangled
in a legal battle against the state's educational

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:10.599
system, led by the controversial superintended
of bigotry, Ryan Walters. Walterers uses

3
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.480
influence to have their petition denied by
the Oklahoma State Board of Education. Under

4
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:21.519
walters influence, an emergency rule demanded
state approval for such changes was passed.

5
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:28.719
A lawsuit now accuses Walter a personal, biased discrimination and blatant violation of due

6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.439
process and pronal rights. The class
sheds light on the broader challenges faced by

7
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:39.159
transgender people and navigating conservative led policies
that, in this case, appear to

8
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.920
be driven by Walterers' biggotest stance on
transgender issues. This story is from NBC

9
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.759
News by Tyler Kincaid on January ninth, twenty twenty four. Oklahoma, Oklahoma,

10
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.640
Oh, Oklahoma. What do we
do with Oklahoma? What do we

11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.640
do with Oklahomer? What do we
do with Ryan Walter's or what do we

12
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.960
do with Ryan Wolf? He is
a real problem. He is a genuine

13
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.359
issue in this day and age.
I mean from dance scholarship, theft to

14
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.040
Bibles in classrooms, to not knowing
the first thing about actual education. To

15
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.680
what we see here is analogous to
Oklahoma creating a bill of a tainder.

16
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.400
Those you who don't know what a
bill are attainder is. It was medieval

17
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.280
Britain used to use bill of attainders. Henry the Eighth's liked quite a lot.

18
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.920
He would have his parliament past legislation
to remove civil rights and in some

19
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.120
cases, the right to life from
people he didn't like. They were.

20
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.200
Mainly you could mainly tell who they
were because they were Catholic. You could

21
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.560
mainly tell those people because they'd slept
with his wife or something, or he

22
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:48.040
wanted a new wife. You could
usually tell things like that. But Oklahoma,

23
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.239
and you know, good old Riah
Walters is doing the same thing here,

24
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.359
taking a group of people and removing
the civil rights and declaring them guilty

25
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.680
of existing incorrectly, which is absolute
pettiness, an absurdity. I mean,

26
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.040
Kansas has been to the punch on
some of these bill of attainers. I

27
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.719
mean Kansas passed an entire piece of
legislation to stop one person playing sports,

28
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:16.960
one person playing sports. It's absolute
utter CODs. What policies we see coming

29
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.360
from Superintendent Wishy Washy Walter's here.
It's absolute fast. Shall we say,

30
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.960
he comes along not knowing the first
thing about what he's supposed to be doing.

31
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.000
As I say, he is the
superintendent of the education system, the

32
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:37.159
title should give him some clue that
he's supposed to be doing. Education.

33
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:43.360
Doesn't do that. He does religion. Religion, that's what he does.

34
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.039
He does bigod tree. The word
that's missing there is education. It's missing

35
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.719
here. But the problem that Ray
Walters has created here is that he's created

36
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.919
an Oklahoma education system that's laughable.
Out of the fifty states in the Union,

37
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:07.520
Oklahoma sits forty fifth for educational attainment, just Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,

38
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.479
and West Virginia, not the least
religious of places on earth. In

39
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.639
fact, probably as not as religious, if not more religious than Oklahoma,

40
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:22.199
all below them. So I'm sensing
a correlation here, not necessarily a causation,

41
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.000
but I'm sensing a definite correlation here. Kelly, Yeah, there is

42
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.280
definitely a correlation. And I noticed
that all of those states tend to be

43
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.159
in a certain geographical area of the
United States too, at which I find

44
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:39.159
West Virginia is not saying it's a
conversation of West Virginia is fiftieth. Yeah,

45
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.520
And I don't know if anybody knows
who who mister Ryan Walters is.

46
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.599
But I did do a little dig
into finding out exactly what he stands for

47
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.400
some of the things he's done in
his political career, and in nineteen or

48
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.560
in nineteen, in twenty Book of
Me in twenty twenty two, he probably

49
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.479
he is from the part yes,
and sometimes my brain gets stuck back there.

50
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.919
So but while he was campaigning in
twenty twenty two, he did promagate

51
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.280
the old litter boxes in high school
bathrooms Hopes, which I thought was really

52
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.279
funny because I've made it no secret
that I live in an area where there's

53
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.240
very few people, and in like
a twenty five mile radius, we have

54
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.600
three small towns. All three towns
have their own high school, and that

55
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.319
rumor was going around, but it
was always at that other two high schools.

56
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.439
It was never at the high school
that they of the town you were

57
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.439
in, you know, So if
you were in my town, it was

58
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.800
in the other two high schools,
And I thought that was really funny.

59
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.160
None of the high schools actually had
it happening. It was the other high

60
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.120
schools that were but almost as soon
as he got into office. Because I'm

61
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.120
just digressing here, so let's get
back. He did fire two teachers because

62
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:56.600
they were They were very critical publicly
of a bill that had just been passed

63
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.959
by the Oklahoma legislature that was what
they could teach about gender and race,

64
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.480
sex and race. So they were
kind of pissed off about that and wanted

65
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.720
to change it, and sure enough
he fired them. In twenty twenty three,

66
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.959
he spoke at a Mom's for Liberty
you may have heard of them,

67
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.360
at their national summit in Philadelphia,
and he advocated eliminading, eliminating the United

68
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:27.439
States Department of Education, and he
also criticized teachers' unions. Then then in

69
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.360
a July just a month later,
town hall, he was asked, how

70
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.519
does the Tulsa race massacre not fall
under the definition of being taught as critical

71
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.000
for a critical as an example of
critical race theory, and he responded,

72
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.360
let's not tie it to skin color
and say that skin color determined what happened

73
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:51.439
at the Tulsa that in that incident. Yes, yes, you're right,

74
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.000
he is a bigot. Yes,
people did vote for him. Hey,

75
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.439
you know what, you can't use
that word on here, even if it

76
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.279
does rime with dark get out of
here. So this guy has got a

77
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:10.680
long, a long history of being
bigoted, and not only bigoted against gender,

78
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.720
but of race as well. So
I mean, what we're seeing here

79
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.560
this time, it doesn't surprise me
at all. I mean, it's just

80
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.560
powerful the course of what this guy
is like. I've got some more things,

81
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.560
but I don't want to take up
all the time, So I'm going

82
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.800
to pass it on to Jimmy and
I'll go over some more when it comes

83
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.319
back to me. You're you're quite
the thespian you and your your duck acting

84
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.920
partner. I don't know how I'll
follow that, but I don't think that

85
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.839
there's a whole lot I would disagree
with all of you on either. I

86
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.959
think I found my own correlation and
perhaps not causation. And I don't know

87
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.160
if the timing of this law is
a coincidence or not. But you know,

88
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.800
on the very same meeting agenda,
in fact, the very the very

89
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:56.240
item preceding discussion of this law at
the September twenty eighth, twenty twenty three

90
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.720
meeting of the State Board of Education, it was that the Tulsa Board of

91
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:08.360
Education was still accepting Chinese government funding
after the Confucius Institute program had been deemed

92
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.920
a subversive Chinese foreign mission by the
State Department in two thousand and nine.

93
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.279
And so the real problem with this
funding, which I don't know if it's

94
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.480
necessarily illegal, but I certainly frowned
upon, in that all one hundred and

95
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.600
almost all one hundred and forty three
recipients of this funding have ceased their contracts

96
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.839
except for seven. And not only
that, but the Tulsa Board of Education

97
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.600
was covering up receiving these funds and
not informing parents, and instead they were

98
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:42.399
receiving funds from a kind of through
a shadow organization in Texas. And this

99
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.199
report, there was a report done
by Parents Defending Education that found that this

100
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.160
funding was being masked. And I
just think it's significant because this discussion,

101
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:59.720
the discussion of passing this law took
place kind of right after this. Walters

102
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.079
had to justify why the Tulsa Board
was still accepting money. He actually had

103
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.639
to answer to Congress because of this
due to in depth investigation that was taking

104
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.920
place there. And I think that
we're seeing the transgender community perhaps be a

105
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.720
scapegoat. We've seen that before.
Minorities or disparaged groups just kind of thrown

106
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.560
under the bus to take the heat
off of government officials for I don't know

107
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.920
other reasons, and so I don't
know if this is correlation. It's probably

108
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.200
not causation. But being under fire
for accepting funds from a foreign shadow organization

109
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.639
through a domestic shadow organization that aimed
to indoctrinate children should not be met with

110
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.080
more harm to other children by denying
them their rights. And so all in

111
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.480
all, the Oklahoma education system just
seems to be falling apart in multiple facets

112
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.799
and just can't get anything right.
So, Infidel, what do you say?

113
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.440
Ryan Walters has demonstrated himself to be
quite usedless character on more than one

114
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.919
occasion. We've covered him on nonprofits. But I think you really nailed something

115
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.799
there, Jimmy, when you're talking
about how you know, we okay,

116
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.320
we had a mistake, we're having
to answer far it let me distract you

117
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.759
with something else. I see this
time and again with even family members who

118
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.679
you know, it's like, yeah, but what about you know, Europe

119
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:30.080
or Hillary's emails or whatever little popular
distraction that can get someone away from their

120
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.000
own shortcoming. And obviously he's not
going to want to approach that. But

121
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.159
one thing I did listen to very
carefully was one thing that Walters made a

122
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.480
comment on Real America's Voice. It's
a rather right wing media organization, but

123
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:52.080
he said, parents absolutely know what's
best for kids, and anyone who doesn't

124
00:09:52.240 --> 00:10:00.320
understand has no business being involved in
education whatsoever. Ryan Walters, there,

125
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:07.879
a man, I'm with you.
This coming sup you there, because in

126
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.120
the article itself, the parents of
this child, one a conservative political leaning

127
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.360
father and one a god fearing church
going mother, both support him. So

128
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.960
Ryan Waters the doors over there,
don't let it hit you on the way

129
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.600
out. Absolutely. I mean,
this is a guy. And when we

130
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.879
think about an emergency rule, this
is six grown people sitting in a room

131
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.519
making a decision that's going to impact
this teen boy. And they're overriding not

132
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.799
only a parent's decision, but a
court order. What could possibly be so

133
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.480
important? I do know that in
their statement they claim that they wanted to

134
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.519
protect the accuracy of historic records for
future use. Were damn y. Let's

135
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.600
let's let's let's see some let's see
some literacy. Let's see some literacy in

136
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:03.240
Oklahoma. So someone could even read
those records. But seriously, what could

137
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.679
be the result if a student in
Oklahoma was allowed to update their records.

138
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.279
That would require six people to make
this such a priority. And if they've

139
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.960
been with the schools at forty fifth
in the nation, how many people could

140
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.960
read those records. Yes, absolutely, let's focus on teaching your kids,

141
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.000
and let's not worry about six people
who are being paid by the state to

142
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.360
bully a young kid without even seeing
him. You know, so much for

143
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.159
knowing what's best for the parents,
knowing absolutely what's best for their child.

144
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.200
You know, I think that only
applies when the parents agree with Walters.

145
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:46.000
But you know another thing that I
found totally sickening is quoting Walters again.

146
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.320
He said, we're not going to
do the transgender game of back and forth,

147
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.759
back and forth. That is such
a dishonest statement. You know,

148
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.720
you would think that people got up
and said, well, what kind of

149
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.799
cereal and what gender do you want
to go through the courts today to decide

150
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.080
you're going to be this This is
so dishonest on so many levels. But

151
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.480
this puts Ryan Walters right back where
it belongs, and that is where he

152
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.240
thinks what he knows is best is
the right one. Brian Waters doesn't care

153
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.039
about children. He's busy. I
think to remember here, though, is

154
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.120
who do these documents affect apart from
the student themselves, who in this day

155
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.080
and age, no one on this
panel, nobody watching unless the actual students

156
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.159
themselves is watching, or is an
educator that's going to receive their high school

157
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.960
transcripts is watching. Is affected by
this in any way, not even in

158
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:50.080
the slightest. But for him it
is more important about his grandstanding than him

159
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.200
and his unwillingness to accept people not
as they are, but how he decides

160
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.200
they need to be. You know, it was touched on the Tulsa Race

161
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.519
massacre and how let's not bring color
into that. And he's even said that

162
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.879
separation of church and state is a
myth, so it's in the titles occurred.

163
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.960
But then again, the religion foundation
is this state sponsored atheism according to

164
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:22.440
him. So in Ryan Walters World
ran the world is what Ryan Walters wanted

165
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:28.720
it to be and what his supporters
wanted to be in their delusion to well,

166
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.080
essentially run scared and insidious thing here
though, the most insidious thing that

167
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:39.039
I picked up this was the echoes
that you hear from the same people who

168
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.039
said you will want a slave,
I don't recognize you as a free post

169
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.919
to trans people who say I don't
recognize you as the sex that you actually

170
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.799
are. What they're saying is you
were once assigned to be the property of

171
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.080
somebody else, and they're saying to
trans people, you will once assigned a

172
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.879
sex of birth. Don't matter if
it was accurate, don't if you had

173
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.440
any choice in it. Those are
the same rhetorics, and people need to

174
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:13.080
realize racism and transphobia go hand in
hand, and until people like Ryan Walters

175
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:20.200
are chased away from the education system
and chased away from ruining people's lives,

176
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.559
it's going to continue because you're going
to have court orders that are defied.

177
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.720
You're going to have lives ruined because
THERESO if we watched protective, historically accurate

178
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.039
records, because you were assigning something
that you had no choice in in the

179
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:41.519
same way that slaves were assigned property
at birth of somebody else. And what

180
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.840
makes it even more egregious is that
trans people were denied the right to get

181
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.240
married for years, and slaves were
also denied the right to get married in

182
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.759
the same way that free people were
because it wasn't just their vows that said

183
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:00.960
till death do us part, it
was till death or distance to us part.

184
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.960
Because they weren't seen as having been
assigned correctly within the system. And

185
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.919
when you see these parallels, I
am physically sick that it is still going

186
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:18.519
on in the twenty first century in
the most industrialized nation on earth. Yep.

187
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.159
I wanted to, you know,
Jimmy mentioned the whole thing that was

188
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.080
going on with China, and he
actually opposed that a lot. He was

189
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.600
very outspoken about that Chinese funding from
what I understood. However, when he

190
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.240
did give an okay too. And
we just mentioned this earlier this week in

191
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.879
an earlier story, Prager you came
to Oklahoma school districts and wanted to provide

192
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.919
curriculum with funding from gas and oil
companies that had a little bit of propaganda

193
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:52.639
in it. And during congressional hearings, Representative rolb Riyalva I always have a

194
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.159
hard time saying his name as to
Walter's about allowing the oil and gas industry

195
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.360
to influens climate change curriculum through prager
you, and he responded, these are

196
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:08.320
American companies that are a benefit to
the American economy. So I don't see

197
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:15.480
any issue with them having influence on
our education system. So it kind of

198
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.600
was like to me, it was
like this two face thing. We don't

199
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.080
want these people having influence, but
it's okay to let these people do it.

200
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:32.360
And he also he also wanted to
sue the FFRF the Freedom from Religion

201
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:37.519
for a Foundation for sending a letter
to an Oklahoma school district asking them to

202
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.600
stop using prayer in the school curriculum. The FFRF then issued an open letter

203
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:48.320
to Walters saying, you regularly misuse
the official governmental social media afforded to your

204
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.799
public office and treat it as a
pulpit from which to preach your personal or

205
00:16:52.840 --> 00:17:00.200
religious views and Christian nationalist propaganda.
And that was just seven weeks ago than

206
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.240
weeks ago that they issued that statement. So this is not a nice guy.

207
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.720
This is not the kind of guy
that we want in charge of our

208
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.680
children. So yeah, I just
don't I don't even know why these people

209
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.400
in Oklahoma would have this guy there. So I think his opposition to receiving

210
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:22.720
international funding from a competitor country came
after he was after he was confronted about

211
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.359
it, in which he had to
kind of stand up and save face continue

212
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:33.279
his grandstanding. You know, the
Tulsa School District makes a million dollars a

213
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.200
year through this program, and having
found other donors to take that place is

214
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.119
not a surprise at all. And
I still stand by the idea that,

215
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:48.359
you know, it's probably it's probably
pretty likely that you know, he kind

216
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.720
of replaced this one scandal with another
one that I think he can get a

217
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.480
lot more political support for. And
so I want to I want to go

218
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.920
to answering Phoebe's question about you know, do we think education is being forgotten.

219
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.720
I don't think it's being forgotten.
I think it's being weaponized. I

220
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.799
think it's very much on the front
burner. I think everybody has their eye

221
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:08.799
on education and they're trying to find
a way to manipulate it, to use

222
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.440
it in their favor, at least
at least where I think, you know,

223
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.200
white Christian nationalism excuse me, white
Christian nationalism is concerned. I would

224
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.960
have to say that I agree with
the thought that education is very much a

225
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.559
priority for people like this. More
accurately, perhaps I should say miseducation.

226
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.240
But there is a goal, there
is very much an agenda and a plan

227
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.559
that they have an effect with this. This isn't just idle chitchat now.

228
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:44.000
Admittedly I think they bounce from target
to target because in this type of environment

229
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.279
you always need somebody to say the
them to somebody else's to somebody. We

230
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:56.359
can disparage and as Phoebe pointed out, quite literally dehumanize, And that's what's

231
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.920
going on there. You need that
enemy. In nineteen eighty four, Europo

232
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.319
was friends with this one and enemies
with that one. Up now it's where

233
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.880
friends with you know, Eurasia and
enemies with you know. They always bounced

234
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.240
around and then that's what they're doing. They're they're bouncing from enemy to enemy

235
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.759
here. And really, at the
end of the day, education shouldn't be

236
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.920
a weapon, but it has become
that. And Phoebe I will just say

237
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.519
this to Ryan Walter's directly. If
you want to teach religion, go and

238
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.319
teach at your local Sunday school,
