Speaker 1: I feel like an idiot, dude, and you don't. You'll
Speaker 1: get one chance at a first impression, but you know
Speaker 1: what you were yourself. I don't care. I don't want
Speaker 1: him to know myself. Man, he's the president of the company. Dude. Whatever. Anyway, Hey,
Speaker 1: well done, You're welcome. Done on your first and by
Speaker 1: the way, nobody could really hear you talk in the
Speaker 1: room because your lips were pressed so firmly to his buttocks.
Speaker 2: Buttocks, but talks. Are you ready for today's too?
Speaker 1: To be?
Speaker 2: What makes my job easy when it comes to hunting
Speaker 2: for tools, broud Zilla was, Yep, this isn't one of those.
Speaker 1: Let's call this girl.
Speaker 2: April Hi April Hi Dwight April's twenty four. She wrote
Speaker 2: that she graduated from college two years ago, thanks in
Speaker 2: large part to a college fund from her parents.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I feel incredibly fortunate for that, and I worked hard
Speaker 2: to make the most of it by getting good grades
Speaker 2: and finishing on time. She went on to explain that
Speaker 2: her younger cousin, who's twenty. Cousin dropped out of college
Speaker 2: last year after failing a few classes, but wants to
Speaker 2: go back. April said her cousin used up a good
Speaker 2: chunk of her own college fund during her first attempt,
Speaker 2: so recently my aunt and uncle her parents came to
Speaker 2: me and asked if I'd be willing to give my
Speaker 2: cousin what's left of my college fund to help her
Speaker 2: go back. She said she still has a decent amount
Speaker 2: left because she ended up getting a scholarship her senior year,
Speaker 2: but she told them I'm not comfortable doing that. April
Speaker 2: went on to explain that she's been saving the leftover
Speaker 2: money for other possible future expenses, like graduate school or
Speaker 2: maybe to put towards a house. I don't feel like
Speaker 2: it's my responsibility to give it up just because she
Speaker 2: didn't finish school the first time. Now my cousin and
Speaker 2: her parents are upset with me. My cousin says she
Speaker 2: needs it more than I'm being selfish for that helping
Speaker 2: her out When I had my education paid for. My
Speaker 2: aunt and uncle think I should give her the money
Speaker 2: because it's just sitting there and they don't want her
Speaker 2: to take out loans. I get that loans are tough,
Speaker 2: but I worked hard for my degree and saved my
Speaker 2: money for my future. I don't think I should be
Speaker 2: guilted into giving it up. Am I being the toolsolutely?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not? Are you kidding me? As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: shame on your cousin for even asking that you know
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Who does this? And the parents?
Speaker 1: Am I off base on this?
Speaker 2: Dave Listen parent? Okay, so these parents of the cousin
Speaker 2: would be the brother or sister of her parents, April's parents, right, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: hear me, cousin's parents. That money isn't and never has been, yours. No,
Speaker 2: if you want your daughter to not have to take
Speaker 2: out student loans, give her some money. It's not your money,
Speaker 2: it never has been. She is under no obligation to
Speaker 2: give it to her cousin.
Speaker 1: The boss to even ask a question like that, Hey,
Speaker 1: notice you're you got ten grand saved up? Sure could
Speaker 1: use five of the dave.
Speaker 2: Sure, it's she's just your cousin. But it's just sitting there.
Speaker 2: So give it to her.
Speaker 1: And listen if it comes to if it fractures the
Speaker 1: family and you have less in laws, win when.
Speaker 2: Hold your ground, April, that is not their money, it
Speaker 2: never has been. Your parents gave it to you, not
Speaker 2: your cousin.
Speaker 1: Right, That's why we love April. She's got a good
Speaker 1: head on her shoulder.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, Alex Raymundo, the president of the company's coming in.
Speaker 1: Don't wear your butthole shirt. There you go.
Speaker 2: Even Alex knew.
Speaker 1: I'm serious, So dude, just a text would have been nice,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. All right, that's Tuesday's too.
Speaker 5: Let's go on pretty obvious one today. I think you
Speaker 5: thanks and Tony. I mean he was here yesterday when
Speaker 5: they announced it, right, yeah, sure, he was new topic
Speaker 5: this day in history. Let's see what happened today, October
Speaker 5: twenty ninth. Let's go allow you back to October.
Speaker 1: Twenty ninth, Yes, nineteen twenty nine. Oh boy, that's been crash. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's right, it was today in October twenty ninth, nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty nine. That's when the bottom fell out of the
Speaker 1: out of Wall Street and the stock market crash. It
Speaker 1: brought on the Great Depression. It was called black Tuesday.
Speaker 2: I just call it Tuesday because I don't see color.
Speaker 1: That's admirable. Thank you, way to go, Thank you. As
Speaker 1: prices dropped and a panic selling, thousands were left instantly poor,
Speaker 1: and the Roaring Twenties came to an end. The Depression
Speaker 1: would last almost ten years. I think people were just
Speaker 1: walking off buildings that day. It was awful. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was pretty damn bad. It was today October twenty ninth,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. That's when Francisco Martin Duran.
Speaker 2: I am Francisco Martin Duran.
Speaker 1: My name is Francisco Martin Duran Duran, Yes, yes, that
Speaker 1: is the cover bat.
Speaker 2: You will now remove your blouse.
Speaker 1: Would you like a sugar cube?
Speaker 2: Don't chase it.
Speaker 1: First, you must given me a thickyback, and then I
Speaker 1: will give you this shot on sugar cube. That was today.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety four, Francisco Martin Durant fired more than
Speaker 1: two dozen shots at the White House was standing on
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Avenue Nicks. He was later convicted of trying to
Speaker 1: kill President Clinton? What's he trying to do that to me?
Speaker 6: For?
Speaker 1: Hey, Monica, go ask him if if he'll quit that?
Speaker 2: And then they found out, like Bill, he was shooting blanks.
Speaker 1: It's a dollar out. Uh oh, I'm not doing this story.
Speaker 1: That's a horror story. Good God never stopped you before. No, no,
Speaker 1: but this was bad, dude. What is it? Melissa Drexler
Speaker 1: sentence for strangling her baby? Oh no, yeah, yeah no,
Speaker 1: seeh I kind of did it, man, I know. Let's
Speaker 1: get that taste of our mouth with this. It was
Speaker 1: October twenty ninth, nineteen ninety eight. That's when the Space
Speaker 1: should of Discovery blasted off with John Glenn onboard.
Speaker 2: I forgot that he went up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Glenn, so did he. Glenn was the oldest man
Speaker 1: to go into space. He was seventy seven years old
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty two. He was the first American to
Speaker 1: orbit the Earth. I wonder when they showed up, they said, okay,
Speaker 1: let's all go to the astronaut diaper room and get
Speaker 1: fitted for our diapers, and John Glenn went, no, No,
Speaker 1: brought my own.
Speaker 2: What was the movie where the older guys were training
Speaker 2: to go back in space? It was James Garner Space Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Yes, right that. I forgot all about that. And then
Speaker 1: there was also there was a Fraser episode where he
Speaker 1: had John Glenn as a guest. I think I remember
Speaker 1: that when the guests start talking, then we have the
Speaker 1: ability to shut off our mics and do something else
Speaker 1: to come back, you know. Yeah, And he was in
Speaker 1: an argument with Ross, so he left the room, and
Speaker 1: when he left the room, he was missed the whole
Speaker 1: conversation and John Glenn was talking about all these martians
Speaker 1: and spaceships. The Fraser missed the whole damn thing.
Speaker 2: We've gone through free a few times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is the new one any good at all?
Speaker 2: I watched ten minutes of it and shut it off
Speaker 2: it's gotten a second season. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: But if there's no Niles and no Ris and it's
Speaker 2: just now, it's got the same, call it something else.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It was today in two thousand and four, when
Speaker 1: Arabic news network Al Jazeera broadcasted an excerpt from a
Speaker 1: video where Osama bin Laden admitted direct responsibility for September eleventh,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one attacks. What took him three years
Speaker 1: to admit to it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we knew, we knew, everybody knew.
Speaker 1: You kidding me? It was today. In twenty eleven, a
Speaker 1: record breaking snowstorm hit the Northeast, leaving two million residents
Speaker 1: without power for more than thirty six hours. That's gotta suck.
Speaker 1: It's only October. It's gotta be like Buffalo, New York
Speaker 1: and all these stupid places. Not stupid, but now they
Speaker 1: get about couple amounts of snow, but the good.
Speaker 2: About one hundred inches a year.
Speaker 1: A couple of my friends live in Buffalo that we
Speaker 1: go to Coablo Santa Lucas with and they're I mean,
Speaker 1: they're prepared.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: They'll get like, you know, five hundred inches and then
Speaker 1: two hours they're driving to work. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the mail trucks, dump trucks, they're all fitted
Speaker 2: with plows, so they use all the city vehicles to
Speaker 2: plow snow.
Speaker 1: Wicked smart, Yeah it was today. In twenty twelve, Hurricane
Speaker 1: Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, resulting in one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten deaths and fifty billion dollars in damages. It
Speaker 1: actually forced the New York Stock Exchange to close.
Speaker 2: When's the last time we've had a really good snow here?
Speaker 1: Don't Jenks's man?
Speaker 2: Because Becky's always telling me that when she was growing up,
Speaker 2: they were like sledding every single year. When's the last
Speaker 2: time you could sled It's been years, It's been years.
Speaker 1: I guess ninety four was the great Oh it was.
Speaker 1: Ninety four was the one to shut down the city.
Speaker 1: Before then, I think when I was in the seventies,
Speaker 1: like seventy eight or seventy seven, we had a blizzard
Speaker 1: and I remember being off school. I want to say
Speaker 1: two or three weeks. It was the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 2: And the next time I'm gonna say you this, I've
Speaker 2: said it before. When you grow up up in New York,
Speaker 2: you know how to do this. This is common sense,
Speaker 2: like using a turn signal. So when you're sledding in
Speaker 2: a public park and then you sled down the middle
Speaker 2: of the hill, go over to the sides, walk back up.
Speaker 1: The hill, walk straight up the middle.
Speaker 2: Baby, don't come down the middle and make me jump
Speaker 2: out of the way and get mad at me because
Speaker 2: I'm in your way. No, no, no, go up the sides.
Speaker 1: They'll go straight up the middle. They do.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I do that.
Speaker 2: You just don't do it enough.
Speaker 1: I guess fun the odds of getting hit by a
Speaker 1: sled big time fund bah. I want. Let's do one
Speaker 1: more and then I've got to Today's a national day.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. It was today October twenty ninth,
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. The San Francisco Giants won the twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: World Series. Today is also National Cat Day. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: I like cats. I mean the animals A cat. I
Speaker 1: love kittens. Yeah, kits are pretty.
Speaker 2: Once in a while, you meet a cool cat that
Speaker 2: let you rub his belly incomes when you call him.
Speaker 2: Because to us, what's a cool cat? One that's like
Speaker 2: a dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what when people say you love my cat,
Speaker 1: he's just like a dog. Well, why do you get
Speaker 1: a dog? Exactly? I like a big fat cat. Where
Speaker 1: the hell did it go? What I had facts about cats?
Speaker 2: Are there four legs?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: No, some of them were actually pretty cool cat facts? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was cool, you know what? Hang on. I don't
Speaker 1: know where I saved him, So hang on with spot Nick.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say this in front of it,
Speaker 1: but I'm thinking about maybe getting a new computer.
Speaker 2: Look, Jesus, if you only had two other options in
Speaker 2: your possession.
Speaker 1: I just want to get this one redone though, you know,
Speaker 1: I like what I like. Man, I don't like change.
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: This is a filler music while.
Speaker 1: It's like listening to Walter Cronkite. It sure, all right?
Speaker 1: Today is National Cat Day. I thought I had it
Speaker 1: ivery go okay, In case you're wondering about cats, cats,
Speaker 1: there's over five hundred million domesticated cats in the world.
Speaker 1: That's it. We mean that's a lot, five hundred million. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cats and humans have been associated together for nearly ten
Speaker 1: thousand years. You see all these Egyptian they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: here's a cat holding like a stick.
Speaker 2: Men have been men have been seeking cats since the
Speaker 2: Caveman that's right.
Speaker 1: Days cats are sleeping average at thirteen to fourteen hours
Speaker 1: a day. Maybe I'm part cat.
Speaker 2: And the other ten they're plotting against you.
Speaker 1: No kidding. Like the way they look at like a
Speaker 1: glass and milk on the counter. They look at dead
Speaker 1: in the eye and then they swat it out. That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I do. But the only here's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Okay. So when we go to Cabos
Speaker 1: and Lucas, I usually get a team of four people
Speaker 1: that I pay to take care of Lemmy. So there's
Speaker 1: somebody in our house twenty four hours a day, and
Speaker 1: I know it's overkilled.
Speaker 2: So what, But you know what, you can't relax if
Speaker 2: you don't do it, and.
Speaker 1: Let's go to somebody's there with you. I can't relax.
Speaker 2: We're the same way whenever someone stays at the house.
Speaker 2: It's like send pictures.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Because one of our little girls was kind of a runner.
Speaker 2: She'd like to run the neighborhood a little bit and
Speaker 2: sneak out when she could just blow right past you.
Speaker 1: And you open the door.
Speaker 2: She'd always come back. But I was always worried about cars.
Speaker 1: But of course, so I go to orchestrate four different people,
Speaker 1: usually three to four different people, and pay them. So
Speaker 1: Leimmy has somebody there at the house twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: If you have a cat, you'd like empty a bag
Speaker 1: of kibble out and they're good for a week, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much for a month or whatever. If you have
Speaker 1: a group of cats, it's what is a group of
Speaker 1: cats called any idea.
Speaker 2: U Vannetti's house A clouder A clouder Yeah, huh, I
Speaker 2: never heard that.
Speaker 1: A male cat is a tomcat. A female cat is
Speaker 1: a molly or a queen, a mally cat, a moley cat.
Speaker 1: Cats can be very lethal hunters. They're very sneaky. They
Speaker 1: are and very sneaky. Here's part of the reason why.
Speaker 1: When they walk, their back paws step almost exactly the
Speaker 1: same place their front paws were at. Right. That keeps
Speaker 1: the noise to a minimum and makes tracks visible visible
Speaker 1: tracks very limited.
Speaker 2: Right, So someone thinks that's a two legged cat that
Speaker 2: kills you, can't be me.
Speaker 1: Cats have very powerful night vision, allowing them to see
Speaker 1: the level six times lower than a human needs to
Speaker 1: see and then on an average. This is a good
Speaker 1: thing about a cat because we have big we usually
Speaker 1: adopt big dogs. You can't lie about that.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I like big dogs and I cannot lie. Cats live
Speaker 1: an average of twelve to fifteen years, so that's a
Speaker 1: good thing about cats. So anyway, Happy National Cappy Cat Day.
Speaker 1: There you go, and all you can't ladies out there, who.
Speaker 2: Do we have daith the fireplace, my friend, Oh the fireplace.

Speaker 1: a simple inspection done by the fireplace. Let's say, worst
Speaker 1: case scenario, you do need masonry problems or you do
Speaker 1: have masonry problems. When we's covered there, they can even
Speaker 1: take care of that. There are your one stop shop

Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have been sixty nine, dude.
Speaker 1: Sixty nine dude. Hey, listen, one interesting fact then we'll
Speaker 1: talk about Amendment two. There's some kind of a plastic
Speaker 1: surgery show that I got. You know, anything's a train
Speaker 1: wreck like you know, my seven hundred pounds sister, anything
Speaker 1: like that, I gotta watch. And there's some kind of
Speaker 1: like botch surgery, plastic surgery.
Speaker 2: Because people sit there and go, well, it used to
Speaker 2: look better than that guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, hey, I was going to get a
Speaker 1: new butt, but it was fifteen grand here in the state.
Speaker 1: So I went down to Guadalajara and got it done

Speaker 1: Let's bring in Julie Baum. Julie Bomb is with the
Speaker 1: Catholic Education Foundation aka Catholic People Society, and we have
Speaker 1: also in here with this doctor Thomas Davis. Doctor, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to you first, because this nation was built
Speaker 1: on competition, all right, no doubt it was. I mean listen,
Speaker 1: we have competitors in our field. If you have competitors,
Speaker 1: it makes you strive to do better because if not,
Speaker 1: what's the result. On amendment too. I saw a commercial.
Speaker 1: I've seen one commercial on it, and it really let
Speaker 1: me down because if you can't just advertise the fac
Speaker 1: for your issue, in my opinion, that is very telling
Speaker 1: about the issue. Uh. The commercial I saw, I showed
Speaker 1: a lady and she said, thank god we had our
Speaker 1: high school when we had our flood, because if not,
Speaker 1: we all would have been dead. And the high schools
Speaker 1: are not going away. As a matter of fact, the
Speaker 1: act like is going to be the worst thing to
Speaker 1: ever happen if it passes. Yet, Kentucky is one of
Speaker 1: only two states in the entire nation that doesn't have
Speaker 1: this without the scare tactics. Let's remove this or talk
Speaker 1: about the ins and outs. What are the ins and
Speaker 1: outs of amendment to look?
Speaker 6: I mean real simply, this amendment is ultimately about who
Speaker 6: should have the strongest voice in their children's education. Should
Speaker 6: it be you as dad and your wife, or should
Speaker 6: it be a government bureaucrat. That's what it comes down to.
Speaker 6: In forty eight states will put their trust in parents
Speaker 6: to make decisions for their kids, whereas here in Kentucky
Speaker 6: we still want to put government bureaucrats in charge of
Speaker 6: our education. We think you're too stupid to make a
Speaker 6: decision like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a smack in the face to the taxpayers.
Speaker 2: And what the critics say, they'll just make up to this,
Speaker 2: Like one of the ads shows a blank check, you're
Speaker 2: just going to divert all this money away from public
Speaker 2: schools and put it in your pocket. Is there any
Speaker 2: evidence of that happening anywhere?
Speaker 6: I mean, there's a no, And in fact the converse.
Speaker 6: What we've seen is look at states like Florida, which
Speaker 6: has a larger school choice program in the nation when
Speaker 6: they started twenty years.
Speaker 1: Ago, twenty years of two decades.
Speaker 6: We've got lots of data on Florida and other states
Speaker 6: as well, but Florida's maybe be the best example because
Speaker 6: it's so old and so big. They went from a
Speaker 6: very mediocre, subpar state even to now one of the
Speaker 6: very best states in the country in terms of education. So,
Speaker 6: if anything, school choice has only raised the bar. And
Speaker 6: it's like you said, competition, it breeds excellence.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, JCP is the absolute JCPS is the
Speaker 1: absolute worst of the worst when it comes to education.
Speaker 1: They're graduating students NonStop. They're advancing students from grade to
Speaker 1: grade NonStop. Yet reading proficiency something around in eighteen percent.
Speaker 1: Math is just as bad. Everything's just as bad. They're
Speaker 1: not getting eduction, but they're getting pushed through to society.
Speaker 1: Is it like that without in the state, within this
Speaker 1: out in the state as well, or that's pretty much
Speaker 1: just a Louisville problem.
Speaker 6: You know, this is state wise, stay wide, and Dave,
Speaker 6: we've got thirty one percent of our fourth graders are
Speaker 6: a graded level for reading, twenty one percent of our
Speaker 6: eighth graders are on grade level for math, and yet
Speaker 6: we have the highest graduation rate in the nation. So
Speaker 6: let's what you say. We're just putting kids on this
Speaker 6: conveyor belt and kicking them out.
Speaker 1: On the other end, we shift gears and talk to
Speaker 1: Julie Bomb. Now Julie is with the Catholic Education Foundation.
Speaker 1: And have you seen You've actually seen, because that's what
Speaker 1: you all do. Parents come to you and they say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, JCPS, it's a horrible product. We need to
Speaker 1: get an education for our student. They come to the
Speaker 1: Catholic Education Foundation, where the mantra is the answer is
Speaker 1: always yes, give us an example.
Speaker 7: Sure, thanks Dwight. You know, people come to us because
Speaker 7: they can't afford the cost of a Catholic school. So
Speaker 7: these folks are are means tested, meaning that they have
Speaker 7: financial need. So I had a mom come to me, Well,
Speaker 7: called the office. I answered the phone and she said,
Speaker 7: I know you're going to tell me no. And I said, okay,
Speaker 7: Well before I tell you no, tell me what's going on.
Speaker 7: And she went on to tell me she was desperate.
Speaker 7: She had a daughter who was being bullied at school.
Speaker 7: She couldn't get any resolution through, you know, talking to
Speaker 7: the teacher, principal, administration. And she said, she cries every night,
Speaker 7: every morning, she's tarty sometimes because she refuses to go
Speaker 7: to the bus stop. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 7: She also had a little brother who he was fine
Speaker 7: in the school, but he's showing up tardy to He's
Speaker 7: sitting at the table at night listening to these tears
Speaker 7: and these terrible stories. And she said, I just need
Speaker 7: something better for my daughter. Single mom made about forty
Speaker 7: five thousand dollars a year. No way she could afford
Speaker 7: a nine thousand dollars tuition bill.
Speaker 6: At a Catholic school.
Speaker 7: So she came to us, went through the process, we
Speaker 7: were able to get her family into one of our schools.
Speaker 7: She called me two months later and said, my life
Speaker 7: has changed. I had no idea the stress that my
Speaker 7: family was under, not just her daughter, but the son
Speaker 7: and herself. She said, we can eat dinner together, they
Speaker 7: get up, they're excited to go to school. She needed
Speaker 7: a choice in our child's education. As Thomas said, there's
Speaker 7: families that are you know, on the other side, who
Speaker 7: are in public schools, who are thriving and doing well.
Speaker 1: That will still exist.
Speaker 7: Only seven percent of folks throughout the US go to
Speaker 7: non public schools. So this isn't an amendment. And this
Speaker 7: is an amendment, not a bill, right, and Thomas can
Speaker 7: talk a little bit about that, because some of what
Speaker 7: I've heard is this bill will only help the wealthy. Well, first,
Speaker 7: it's not a bill. Second, the wealthy already have a choice.
Speaker 7: The wealthy you can choose to send their kids to
Speaker 7: do private schools or non public schools. It's the people
Speaker 7: that don't have the choice that we want to make
Speaker 7: sure that it's offered to.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to public school. Listen. I loved JCPS.
Speaker 1: I'm a product of Doss High School and I absolutely
Speaker 1: loved the experience. What I don't love is the board
Speaker 1: of clowns that we have the only thing. I want
Speaker 1: public schools to thrive, but I want them to focus
Speaker 1: on education. But the bottom line is right now, JCPS,
Speaker 1: because of the board of clowns that they have, they
Speaker 1: can't even perform the most fundamental task asked of them.
Speaker 1: Pick up your children, take them to school, drop them off,
Speaker 1: keep them safe, and give them an education. It's not
Speaker 1: too much to ask for when you have a budget
Speaker 1: twice the size of the city of Louisville, and we
Speaker 1: got a lot of fat at the Van House Center.
Speaker 1: Here's another issue I have with JCPS. There's so many
Speaker 1: high salary administrative jobs, yet the teachers they need they
Speaker 1: need even more money. Now. Frankfurt did send them a raise,
Speaker 1: but they they need much more money. Sister in law
Speaker 1: is a teacher for JCPS. Their house is back of
Speaker 1: our house, so it come nighttime, when it gets dark,
Speaker 1: I'll see I'll see her still sitting in her kitchen
Speaker 1: table grading papers. It'll be eight or nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: These teachers work their asses, well most of them do.
Speaker 1: If I switched back over here to you, doctor, let's
Speaker 1: talk about what opponents are saying. There's one of the
Speaker 1: things that they're saying is it's gonna be brutal on
Speaker 1: the teachers. It's gonna absolutely crush the teachers. Is that
Speaker 1: a fact or is this gonna be beneficial or detrimental
Speaker 1: for the teachers.
Speaker 6: I think it's one of the under talked about things.
Speaker 6: School choice is not good just for families, but it's
Speaker 6: great for teachers. I mean, if let's just do the
Speaker 6: math real quickly, looking at state averages, we spent on
Speaker 6: average eighteen five hundred dollars per kid in Kentucky to
Speaker 6: send a kid to public school. The average classroom is
Speaker 6: twenty three and a half kids. If you do the math,
Speaker 6: that's almost four hundred and fifty thousand dollars the teacher,
Speaker 6: and Kentucky makes fifty six thousand dollars. There's a four
Speaker 6: hundred thousand dollars gap between what is spent on the
Speaker 6: classroom and what a teacher makes. Where's all that money going?
Speaker 6: And I think you hit it on the head right there.
Speaker 6: There's this administrative bloat that's sucking all this money away
Speaker 6: from the teachers. You know, teachers are complaining about how
Speaker 6: they don't have the money to buy their own supplies.
Speaker 6: They got four hundred thousand dollars to buy those supplies.
Speaker 6: Teachers need to be up in revolt talking about where's
Speaker 6: all this money going.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk money for a second, because and this
Speaker 1: is if I'm off all these figures, let me know,
Speaker 1: but each classroom is is each classroom around a five
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars class Is that on average? On average? Okay?
Speaker 1: But yet it's not getting to the studio, it's not
Speaker 1: getting to the teachers. It's certainly not going for supplies.
Speaker 1: Where's this five hundred grand going to?
Speaker 6: I mean, there was that landmark news article that came
Speaker 6: out recently that lets you be able to go search
Speaker 6: all the different high powered administrators that have fancy titles
Speaker 6: about DEI this, DEI that, and they're making six figures.
Speaker 6: Who knows what they're doing. But there I don't forget
Speaker 6: how many hundreds of people there are making that kind
Speaker 6: of money in Kentucky, not in the classroom teaching the kids.
Speaker 6: There's a huge degree of administrative bloat in this state
Speaker 6: that is sucking money away from the kids. You know,
Speaker 6: just think about this. Let's imagine you took ten kids,
Speaker 6: a teacher said, you know what, I'm going to go
Speaker 6: start my own classroom. We're going to have for the
Speaker 6: sake of communient math, ten thousand dollars per kid classroom
Speaker 6: of ten. That's one hundredth grand going towards a teacher
Speaker 6: each year. Teachers could actually make good money in this
Speaker 6: state under a school choice model like this is a
Speaker 6: huge opportunity for teachers to be real entrepreneurs and to
Speaker 6: do well financially.
Speaker 1: One of the many last straws for me as we
Speaker 1: wrap it up, is when doctor Marty Paulio, the superintend
Speaker 1: and him and his board of clowns absolutely ran this
Speaker 1: even further down into the ground JCPS meeting. And if
Speaker 1: a CEO were to do that at a company, the
Speaker 1: board of directors would have fired their ass immediately. What
Speaker 1: they do for him, they gave him his seventy six
Speaker 1: thousand dollars raise. There's too much fat, and it needs
Speaker 1: to get to the kids and then needs to get
Speaker 1: to the teachers. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 6: You know, the other side talks about accountability, A lot.
Speaker 6: I think there's a huge lack of accountability in the
Speaker 6: status quo system. Giving parents the power to vote their
Speaker 6: feet and vote their dollars is the best form of
Speaker 6: accountability that exists in education.
Speaker 2: He's doctor Thomas David. One more thing before we go.
Speaker 2: Parents are hearing school choice, school choice. Let's just say
Speaker 2: I have a senior or maybe a sophomore at Seneca
Speaker 2: High School. School choice passes, I want them to go
Speaker 2: somewhere else. Is there a new school? Do I get
Speaker 2: a scholarship to a private school? What's my choice?
Speaker 6: And ultimately it's gonna this amendment ultimately gives the legislature
Speaker 6: the ability to decide what that may look like. Certainly
Speaker 6: have my own ideas of what I'd like to see.
Speaker 6: You can look at other states around the country, some
Speaker 6: of the biggest programs Iowa, Arizona, even West Virginia for
Speaker 6: crying out loud as a universal school choice program that
Speaker 6: lets money follow the kid to the school of their choice,
Speaker 6: whatever that may be. And I think with time you're
Speaker 6: gonna see a lot of new schools emerge.
Speaker 1: I don't see the issue, but oh well, he is
Speaker 1: doctor Thomas David. She is Julie Baum Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for the time. Appreciate it more than you know it.
