How are you doing? 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,679 Speaker 1: I am doing all right. It's a lot of stuff 16 00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:51,399 to get through today, a lot of a lot of news, yeah, 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,679 and a lot of i mean just terrible stories from 18 00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:54,479 over the weekend. 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah. 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. But let's look at some of the stuff that 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,479 you've been working on. First. I want to start because 22 00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:03,200 it kind of dovetails into what we were talking about 23 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560 last hour with Rob Reiner and the you know, some 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120 of the comments that like, well, the comment that Donald 25 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,680 Trump put out, but some others have said, I mean, 26 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040 it's just there's nothing near what we saw in the 27 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,519 wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. And I suspect that if 28 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,760 somebody were to paint a spirit rock at rjerie Kel 29 00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,719 High School here in Charlotte in memory of Rob and 30 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,799 Michelle Reiner, I suspect nobody would have much of a 31 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:34,239 problem with that, like like they did when a student 32 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,040 named GS. That's how they're being identified in the lawsuit 33 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:42,680 against arderie Kel when she painted a message in memory 34 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,439 of Charlie Kirk, which now this is going through litigation. 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,640 The Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a lawsuit on the 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,280 student's behalf. And so you document sort of the where 37 00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,200 this or how the story came to be and and 38 00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:00,840 you got stuff here from the from the complaint. So 39 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:05,680 for people who aren't aware, what is the So what's 40 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,800 the nature of the complaint filed by this student and 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,800 the the A d. 42 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:16,479 Speaker 2: Uh, well, there's a there's multiple parts to this. There. 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,319 Their first assertion is that the student's free speech, there's 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,280 First Amendment rights were violated, and they point to two 45 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,639 different things there. First that she got permission to write 46 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,439 on a spare rock, and it's supposed to stay there 47 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,759 for you know, twenty four hours or whatever before it 48 00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,520 gets paid over by any other message, as we've seen 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,439 in other incidents like at UNC Wilmington. But then they 50 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,599 decided no, wait, she didn't get permission, and they launched 51 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:48,960 an investigation into her and you know, called the police. 52 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,039 They questioned her without her parents at school. 53 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:51,879 Speaker 1: Uh. 54 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: They they had her try to write a statement of 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800 you know, about what she what she did there, trying 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,240 to get her to admit some kind of culpability. It 57 00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:00,000 was very bizarre. 58 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, they said she was she vandal like. They were 59 00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,080 accusing her of vandalism. 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were. They're accusing her of vandalism even though 61 00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:07,879 she had gotten permission to do it, and she has 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,240 the documentation from that. But that was that was only 63 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,840 one part of it. The other part of it was 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,719 that they went and they changed the guidelines for writing 65 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:21,680 on the spear rock afterwards to no political messages, even 66 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,080 though what she wrote wasn't political. It had his name 67 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,840 on it and referenced a position of the Bible John 68 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,159 eleven twenty five. It says live like Kirk on one 69 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,400 side with the with the Bible passage, and then the 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,759 other was an American flag. So if that's gotcha upset, 71 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,319 then there's a problem. But it did get someone upset. 72 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,680 It got the CMS school board member Melissa easily upset. 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, I think a lot of things 74 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:48,400 upset her. 75 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,039 Speaker 2: Yes, well, you know when when he died, When Kirk died, 76 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,879 she she put this post on her personal Facebook page 77 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,759 that said, it's disappointing partis that I'm said and that 78 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,439 this was yet another political issue that caused death. But 79 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,240 do not expect me to feel sorry, pity or mournful 80 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,879 for the man that has gone around saying I am 81 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:10,400 my spouse or abominations, which. 82 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: He never called them abominations. Yeah, he never called trans 83 00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:14,639 people abominations. 84 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a school board members, you know how 85 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,240 to spell the word pity, And she didn't. 86 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,639 Speaker 1: So that too, Yes, that too, that too. 87 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was the fun part of it. Her 88 00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:26,639 husband is apparently transgent. So indeed she thinks that that 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,600 Kirk's opposition to calling men women and women men, you know, 90 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,680 because they identify that way, was you know, it was offensive, 91 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:35,720 so right. 92 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,199 Speaker 1: And so right. So they and that was something I 93 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,519 was not aware that they had pulled this girl out 94 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:46,360 of class on two different occasions, forced her to write 95 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,279 out a statement summarizing her rock painting efforts, forced her 96 00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:54,399 to then edit that statement to include details they believed 97 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,279 to be important. And they did this without first advising 98 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:02,399 her of her constitution rights in any criminal proceeding, including 99 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,600 the right to remain silent and the right to have 100 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,600 legal counsel. Yeah, and this goes to the Supreme Court 101 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,560 rulings on the pledge of allegiance in class which is 102 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680 why kids don't have to do it is because they 103 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,279 recognize that simply being in that classroom it is coercive 104 00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:23,720 by nature. They have ruled that in the past, and 105 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,879 so obviously when you're in the school house and they're like, hey, 106 00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:28,879 come down to the principal's office, now you got to 107 00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,360 write this thing, it is coercive in nature. And the 108 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:36,360 student is not being represented by a lawyer and has 109 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:38,959 never advised that, Hey, anything you write down in this 110 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,600 thing that we are now going to tell you to 111 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:43,000 edit in the way we want this could be used 112 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,279 against you for a criminal investigation into her. And then 113 00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:52,680 what they They close the investigation and then they're like 114 00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,639 pretending like they never investigated her at all. 115 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, basically a lot I don't look behind the curtain. Yeah, 116 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,680 well that's what a lot of suits looking behind the curtain. 117 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,040 And they've got eight different claims in there of violated 118 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,439 rights everything from the First Amendment to the Fourth Amendment, 119 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:13,720 at the fifth Amendment and the fourteenth. Yeah, so just 120 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:18,439 for good Yeah, I mean, the complaint is it's not huge, 121 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:21,079 but it's fairly lengthy and it really lays it all out. 122 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,519 It's even got you know, screenshots from when that rock 123 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,199 was allowed to be used for Black Lives Matter with 124 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,199 students actually posing in front of it holding up the 125 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,600 power fist right now. So, I mean, but somehow this 126 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,279 Bible passage and it says live like Kirk with an 127 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:38,959 American flag? 128 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,079 Speaker 1: That was right? That was the bridge too far? Right, 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,040 that's the bridge too far. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. So 130 00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,519 that's over at More to the story. I encourage people 131 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680 to go to the substack there and subscribe to it. 132 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,439 And then you've got this piece at the North State 133 00:06:55,519 --> 00:07:00,639 Journal about the. 134 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: The was it. 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the what was the committee that 136 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:03,000 heard this or held this. 137 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:07,879 Speaker 2: It was the House Oversight Committee. They called in the 138 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,519 superintendent and the chairman of the Board of Education for Chepehill, 139 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,199 Carborough Schools for you know, a year ago in January, 140 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,079 there was you know, I reported on this when it 141 00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:20,800 happened at the time and I was surprised it didn't 142 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,040 get more traction then. But that chair Cher Griffin, George Griffin, 143 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,680 he basically made comments saying, we're you know, the Parents' 144 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,399 Bill of Rights, We're not going to do it that way, 145 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,199 and we're we're not going to follow certain parts of 146 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,519 that law. And the AVOCA parts that he's talking about 147 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,680 are telling parents about pronoun or name changes. And the 148 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,399 other one was the ban on sexual topics like gender 149 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:45,800 identity in k th four. 150 00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Right and U what? And I guess because the state representative, 151 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:55,000 the co chair of the committee, Brendon Jones, And these 152 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,399 are the audio and video clips that went viral where 153 00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,800 he's reading the tie of the books. I'm guessing these 154 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,560 are books that were still in the curriculum or in 155 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,360 the libraries in the Chapel Hillcarborough School district. 156 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were in within elementary school grade reach. Of 157 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,639 these titles, one was called Santa's Hug. Yeah, it's about 158 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,199 a gay Santa. One black, one white, two guys of course, 159 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,319 and it isn't rude to be nude, which had all 160 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,839 walks of life naked in the book. 161 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,919 Speaker 1: Drawing, yeah, drawing those Yes. 162 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: This is my lady part, these are my toes. Yeah, 163 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,639 that was another one that it was found in elementary school. 164 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,000 So yeah, he kind of had a little bit of 165 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480 a fit with these books. And after he would read 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,639 the titles and say word about it, he literally chucked 167 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,399 the books over his shoulder and called him filter garbage. 168 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, this trash, and he would shuck it over into 169 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,200 a trash ban. Yeah. 170 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: I've never seen something like that and a hearing before, 171 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,120 but I'm watching it, you know, I'm grabbing my popcorn. 172 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so the so there. The accusation is that 173 00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:09,360 the school district took out some of the core provisions 174 00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,840 of the Parents' Bill of Rights and just simply like 175 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,039 thumb in the eye to the state legislature, we're not 176 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,759 going to enforce these portions of the law. 177 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, they wouldn't put it in their policies, but they 178 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,600 put something in their guidelines, which basically means it didn't 179 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,440 have to be followed. If it's policy, it has to 180 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,919 be followed. If it's a guideline. It's like, oh, well, 181 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480 you can maybe either do this or maybe not. And 182 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:32,120 throughout the entire hearing, multiple members tried to get Griffin 183 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,919 to acknowledge that he was skirting the law number one, 184 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960 to which he kept saying, no, we've complied with the law, 185 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,080 even though all the evidence, the votes, the documents, the 186 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,320 recorded meetings, everything says to the opposite right. And at 187 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,759 one point in his opening statements, Jones called his actions 188 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,840 a coordinated middle finger to this legislature and to every 189 00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:54,919 parent in your district. 190 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,879 Speaker 1: That's fair, yeah, I'd say so. Yeah. 191 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that hearing was pretty crazy. 192 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: So did he perjure himself, either Griffin or the superintendent. 193 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: Well, the superintendent is a guy named Ronnie Trice. He 194 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:17,519 was the Wake County School's Office of Equity Affairs director 195 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,200 for several years and was involved in doing all the 196 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,360 critical race theory training for teachers in the district. When 197 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240 I started reporting on that training and where it was 198 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,840 coming from and who was doing it a month later, 199 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:30,440 he was pressed about whether or not it was in 200 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,519 the schools, to which he lied and said it wasn't 201 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,360 and that his office had nothing to do with it. 202 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,039 Even though I had all the invoices and receipts. So 203 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,360 he left and went back to Chapel Hill, Carboro Schools, 204 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,559 which is where he originally came from, and he moved 205 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,759 up to the rank to superintendent last year, I believe, 206 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,639 or earlier this year is when he was installed. So 207 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,399 he really didn't say much and they didn't really press 208 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,279 him much on it. But they did press Griffin on 209 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,720 it because he was the one in the meeting they 210 00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:59,000 have on video saying that he's going to ignore these things. 211 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,840 He thinks the board would ignore these things, and they 212 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480 couldn't get him pinned down to say whether he did 213 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,879 or not. And Jones accused him of perjuring himself because 214 00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:12,320 he showed him not only the video but an email 215 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,840 from the following month talking about how to you know, 216 00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:17,799 write their policy and their guidelines to get around it right, 217 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,279 And he held it up, so were you lying then 218 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,440 or are you lying now? Right? And you know, he said, 219 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,600 we comply with the law. He just gave his you know, 220 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,679 it was almost like I take the fifth kind of thing. 221 00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:31,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh we're aligned, Yeah, we're aligned with the law. 222 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,399 We're aligned with the law and its Yeah, but you're 223 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,240 not following it, You're yeah, that's a very well. 224 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,399 Speaker 2: Jones basically said, you were under oath, you swore to 225 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,399 tell the truth today and you lied, is what he 226 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,919 said directly to him. So, I mean, I don't think 227 00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:46,720 this is over with. Right after the meeting or the 228 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:48,679 day after the meeting, they issued a letter to Griffin 229 00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:52,000 telling him that he needs to clarify in writing some 230 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,840 of the answers to questions he was asked her in 231 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,240 the hearing, as well as provide materials and everything on 232 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,960 a rolling basis going forward on the fifteenth of every month. 233 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: So they're not letting this one go, nor should they. 234 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,519 All right, we'll leave it there, ap Dylan. You can 235 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,240 read her work at North State Journal nsjonline dot com. 236 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,039 That's where this story is, as well as her newsletter 237 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,679 more to the story. No show next week, and I 238 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,600 believe you're also gone the following week as well. 239 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: Yep, I'm off so good. 240 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:23,759 Speaker 1: Then we'll talk again in twenty twenty six. 241 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, you have a great new year into all your 242 00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,240 listeners out there. Thanks for listening, and have a happy 243 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,559 new year. 244 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: And Marry Christmas, Yes you too, Merry Christmas. AP appreciate you, 245 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Thank you all. Right, take care, all right.

I came across an 267 00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:43,879 article in the Atlantic, but I can't read it because 268 00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:49,679 it's paywalled. But it I got, like, I got three 269 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,759 paragraphs out of it before it locked me out. And 270 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:01,440 it's by Rose Horrowitch and the headline is American kids 271 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,759 can't do math anymore. See so, while school districts like 272 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,679 Chapel Hillcarborough are making sure that the little kids get 273 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,559 to see all the NUDI pictures in the books in 274 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,919 their libraries, they're not getting taught how to do math. 275 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,320 Apparently so. For the past several years, according to The Atlantic, 276 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,440 America has been using its young people as lab rats 277 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,799 in a sweeping, if not exactly thought out, education experiment. 278 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,919 Schools across the country have been lowering standards and removing 279 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,039 penalties for failure, and the results are coming into focus. 280 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:45,639 Five years ago, about thirty incoming freshmen at UC San 281 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:50,559 Diego arrived with math skills that were below the high 282 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:56,799 school level. Thirty freshmen out of the entire freshman class. Now, 283 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,679 according to a report from u SEE San Diego faculty 284 00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:08,759 and administrators, that number is nine hundred, more than nine 285 00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:13,519 hundred of the incoming freshmen, and most of those nine 286 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:19,679 hundred don't meet middle school math standards, many students struggle 287 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,559 with fractions and simple algebra. Last year, the university, which 288 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,960 admits fewer than thirty percent of undergraduate applicants, launched a 289 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,000 remedial math course that focuses entirely on concepts that are 290 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:40,039 taught in elementary and middle school. That's what you're paying for. 291 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,200 Imagine you're sending your kid to college, forking over tens 292 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,639 of thousands of dollars and they don't even know fractions. 293 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,240 According to this report, more than sixty percent of students 294 00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,919 who took the previous version of the course could not 295 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:04,000 divide a fraction by two. One of the cours's tutors 296 00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:08,440 noted that students faced more issues with quote logical thinking 297 00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:12,240 than with math facts per se, they didn't know how 298 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,480 to begin solving word problems. The university's problems are extreme, 299 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,879 but not unique. Over the past five years, all of 300 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,960 the other University of California campuses, including UC Berkeley and UCLA, 301 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,960 have seen the number of first years or freshmen. But 302 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,879 you can't say freshmen because it says man in there, 303 00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:34,240 and we don't even know what a man is, so 304 00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:36,480 we can't say that, so they call him first years. 305 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,440 So stupid. Yeah, so they've all seen the number of 306 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,759 first years freshmen unprepared for pre calculus, and they've seen 307 00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:51,000 these numbers double or triple. George Mason University in Virginia 308 00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:55,600 had to revamp its remedial math summer program because they 309 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,960 kids were arriving unable to do algebra. As the sub 310 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,119 headline on the article calls it a recipe for idiocracy, 311 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,480 I've long argued we are in the prequel to idiocracy. 312 00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:13,440 You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense 313 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,880 of things, to understand experiences. Stories connect us to the 314 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,039 people of our past while transcending generations. They help us 315 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:23,119 process the meaning of life. And our stories are told 316 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,319 through images and videos.

Visit creative video dot com. So here's an idea. 331 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,200 You know me, I'm all about solutions, right, So maybe 332 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:27,599 in order to get the kids to understand basic math concepts, 333 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:36,160 maybe we can use like, uh, automobile theft as a 334 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,839 way to like, Okay, so you're here. You know, you 335 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,880 got a car and you're gonna but you're only gonna 336 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,880 take off the doors. Like what fraction do you use? 337 00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:46,359 Like how do you arrive at that? Like, maybe you 338 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,079 use something that the kids have some experience with, you know, 339 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,799 in order to improve the mathing. The reason I say 340 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:59,880 that is that we got a lot of kids that 341 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,839 are stealing cars. I don't know if you're aware of 342 00:19:01,839 --> 00:19:04,839 this or not, but it's apparently a thing. I mean, 343 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,839 we had our own rights of passage, you know, when 344 00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:09,920 I was growing up, it did not involve stealing cars. 345 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,240 Like if you stole a car like that was grand 346 00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:17,079 theft auto before there was even a video game. We 347 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,759 had the kid fifteen years old, remember he had like 348 00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:25,480 one hundred and fifty car thefts in like a month 349 00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:29,839 or something. It was ridiculous. The other day there was 350 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,480 this story a sixteen year old juvenile with a history 351 00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:37,720 of over two hundred seventy five charges. Sixteen years old, 352 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:44,920 two hundred seventy five charges. I have long argued we 353 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,039 need a two hundred seventy strike law. You know, at 354 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,599 some point like enough is enough, you know, maybe we 355 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,960 do have a two seventy five Maybe that's it. Because 356 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,240 he is being held without bond, I assume probably because 357 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,160 of Arena's law. Sixteen years old, two hundred and seventy 358 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,599 five charges, arrested and charged as an adult after a 359 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,519 series of crimes across North and South Carolina. He's being 360 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,680 held without bond. After getting into more trouble, the juvenile, 361 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,160 who was previously extradited to South Carolina and placed on 362 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:26,920 probation there, was involved in a vehicle pursuit with Morrisville 363 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,279 Police Department in October after breaking into multiple vehicles. Despite 364 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:38,079 facing fifteen charges, including possession of stolen firearms. He was 365 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,640 released to his and I'm going to use air quotes 366 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,319 on this one. He was released to their guardian. He 367 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,359 was released to his guardian. Right, don't know who that is. 368 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,240 Don't think they're doing a great job. In November, so 369 00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:03,960 that was October November, he committed car theft, armed carjacking, 370 00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:09,920 and just for good measure, shot into a dwelling associated 371 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,640 with a known gang member. A search of his residence 372 00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:19,559 uncovered multiple firearms, including a glock twenty seven to forty 373 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,839 caliber with a drum magazine and autoseer conversion device, along 374 00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:27,960 with other weapons. The juvenile was charged with several serious offenses, 375 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,960 including robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, 376 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,680 possession of stolen goods, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling, felony, 377 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,519 conspiracy injury to personal property, possession of a weapon of 378 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:43,440 mass destruction, and possession of a handgun by a minor. 379 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:50,519 Investigations have revealed this is according to WSOCTV. Investigations have 380 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,920 revealed that the juvenile is a person of interest in 381 00:21:54,039 --> 00:22:01,079 nearly eighty recent car break ins across multiple jurisdictions eighty 382 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:10,839 eight zero so one kid crime wave and then there's 383 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,359 this story updated today. I believe they took this guy 384 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,039 into custody. No, sorry, Oh, there is an update no bond. 385 00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:24,240 That was the update from today. I believe he's got 386 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,920 no bond. This is I'm looking for his name in 387 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,440 the article here? Where is it? Inman? Is his last name? 388 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000 And I've seen it spelled two different ways. I think 389 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,759 his I think his name is Lorenza, but I also 390 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,000 am seeing it. Maybe it's an auto correct issue or 391 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,039 something being reported as Lorenzo, but I think it is 392 00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:56,920 actually Lorenza Thomas Inman, Jr. He was arrested in the 393 00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,240 murder of what I'm suspected it was his ex girlfriend. 394 00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:05,720 The search for a missing Charlotte mother came to a 395 00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:10,440 tragic end Thursday after police discovered her body inside a 396 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,519 car in North Charlotte. Now I have a source that 397 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,119 I cannot name, but the source told me that police 398 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,759 and family had already searched this area. So the car 399 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,839 was the car and the body was put there after 400 00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:36,079 the original search. Because this woman went missing. On Friday, 401 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,559 Charlotte Mecklenburg Police announced they arrested the man suspected of 402 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,440 killing Frasier Matisse Baker.

I'm not sure her body was found. Late 445 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,640 last week he was picked up. He's being held without 446 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,640 bond now, as he should. He has a significant criminal history. 447 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:46,279 He was convicted of two other crimes. In October. He 448 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,720 was He had a suspended sentence and was ordered to 449 00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:57,039 twenty four months probation for intimidating a witness and habitual 450 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,119 misdemeanor assault. That was back in twenty twenty one one. 451 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,319 Also in twenty one he was convicted of assault with 452 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,880 a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon. 453 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,279 That was from a twenty seventeen case. So he got 454 00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:19,400 tried and convicted four years after. In two thousand and seven, 455 00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:22,480 he was first convicted for assault on a female. So 456 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,480 he has a bit of a pattern here. I think 457 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,359 I'm able to suss that out. I'm able to detect this. 458 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:34,039 But apparently our court officials are our lawyers with the 459 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:38,559 wardrobe changes on the bench. Apparently they are unable to 460 00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:42,000 detect any kind of a pattern with this guy who 461 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,279 just keeps beating up women. All of these were Mecklenburg County, 462 00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:52,799 according to Queen City News WBTV. The man accused of 463 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,559 killing a missing Charlotte mother earlier this week. This is 464 00:27:55,599 --> 00:28:01,400 from Thursday. He was on supervised pro at the time 465 00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:06,720 of her murder. Not a lot of supervision, I'm guessing there. 466 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,839 His criminal history dates back nearly two decades. A jury 467 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:17,599 convicted him in twenty nineteen for attempted murder. Here is 468 00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:22,839 the press release that the DA's office under Spencer Merriweather published. 469 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,680 And they do this, They put out press releases when 470 00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:34,200 trials conclude, so like this had. This press release actually 471 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,839 had two different cases that it covered. One was the 472 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,759 trial of It was a mistrial. It ended in a 473 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:46,920 mistrial of Carlos Manzanares, who has tried for attempted first 474 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,119 degree murder, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, two counts 475 00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:52,000 of assault with the deadly weapon with intent to kill, 476 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,680 inflicting series injury, and first degree burglary. It was a 477 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,640 two week trial and got a hung jury, so a 478 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,839 miss trial, but most of the press releases about Lorenza 479 00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:11,000 Inman tried for attempted first degree murder, assault with a 480 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:15,359 deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, 481 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,559 and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon. At the close 482 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,160 of the state's evidence, Judge Caldwell dismissed the charge of 483 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,880 attempted robbery. The jury then found him guilty of attempted 484 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,519 first degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and the 485 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:33,640 firearm conviction. He was sentenced to one hundred and fifty 486 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:40,200 seven to two hundred and ten months in prison. Right, 487 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,000 So like that's a lengthy prison sentence, right, that's like 488 00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:51,240 twelve years or so, And that story is thus. In 489 00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:55,559 April twenty seventeen, broad daylight Enman followed the victim to 490 00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:59,039 a shopping center on West Sugar Creek Road in Charlotte. 491 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:02,160 Once there, in men confronted the victim and shot him 492 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,039 in the chest at close range. As the victim fell 493 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:08,559 to the ground, in men stood over him and fired 494 00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:12,160 several more rounds at the victim. Detectives with the Charlotte 495 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,039 Mecklumburg Police Department took the victim's statement from his hospital bed, 496 00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:20,880 and he identified Inman as his attacker. The assault was 497 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,119 also captured by nearby surveillance cameras, so you've got the 498 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,880 victim iding the guy, and you've got video. He did 499 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,759 get convicted, he got sentenced to one hundred and fifty 500 00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:37,920 seven months minimum, but he was out. He only served, 501 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,119 as we heard in the newscast there Queen City News 502 00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:45,839 reports he only served two years. What the hell are 503 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:51,799 we doing here? People? The assault was captured on the cameras. 504 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,559 When officers arrested in Mean the next day, he was 505 00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:59,359 still wearing the same distinctive outfit that he was wearing 506 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,039 at the time of the attack. Inman contacted the victim 507 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:08,920 shortly before trial and pressured the victim to recant. That's 508 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,799 the witness tampering that he got charged with and a 509 00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:18,279 suspended sentence. It's just again, this is a choice. We 510 00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:21,039 don't have to live like this. You know, we can 511 00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:25,799 actually lock these people who are unable to participate in 512 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:29,160 a civil society. We can actually put them away and 513 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,920 get them out of the gen pop here. All right, 514 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,319 that'll do it for this episode.
