Time Text
We're working with a budget of over $30 billion, so a smaller portion of that is given to the school system.
That's bigger than most countries' GDP. Out of the $30 billion, schools allocate $9 million on instruction.
$6 million go on support services, and additionally, there's $795 million on other expenses.
LA Unified School District has more money in their budget to spend than the GDP of Cambodia, Iceland, Georgia, Zambia.
We're actually so low right now that we could lump in the bottom 40 countries together.
Almost combined, yes.
And by the way, 59 % of that revenue comes from the state to us.
LA Unified School spends more money every single year than the military defense spending of Italy, Australia, Canada, Israel, Spain, Brazil, Poland, Netherlands, Qatar, Taiwan, Singapore, Turkey, Pakistan, Colombia, Algeria, Indonesia, Mexico.
And by now we're in like the $8.5 billion a year.
We're paying astronomical $18 billion.
Parents are taxpaying communities and we're just not getting anything for it.
He's just standing there.
MENACINGLY! Ladies and gentlemen, we are back with the 59th episode of The Adam King Show, found at Bandop Video, hosted by InfoWars.
You know, I gotta tell you, we've been in and out of these livestreams, trying to nail it, trying to not nail it, and I promised you guys I would livestream all these episodes, and it just didn't work this week.
That's okay. We're still getting an episode done.
And this episode is a doozy.
I want to pivot away from all the religious stuff I've been trying so hard.
It's like I keep getting sucked into these things on Twitter where everybody wants to know about the Jewish this and the Jewish that.
But the reason why I'm here is really to fight a war, and that is the war for freedom, humanity, team humanity, and human freedom.
And that's what brings me to do this.
So the Jewish stuff, whatever.
I'm just a Jewish guy.
There's another way around that.
But I get to flex a little bit of the Jewish stuff with the politics this week, because this week's episode is...
It has to do with the politics of the shtetl.
Yep. I love it when I get to do these episodes.
I get to do these episodes for the block, if you know what I mean.
If you're in the chud, you're in the chud and you know what I mean.
But this week's episode is for the chud.
And we have joining us on this week's episode actually a candidate who is running for school board in our neighborhoods.
Now, this is like really important to me, the child school stuff.
I don't have children, but I would like to have children.
And the landscape of everything that has to do with the child education system bugs me out, whether private, whether public.
And so we're going to have an episode today with a candidate for LA school board.
I'm going to be joined by my good friend, Reena Tambor, who comes in from Los Angeles.
Reena was a schoolteacher in New York City, came to LA, has a family here in LA, has been equally disgusted With the situation, as all of our viewer audience is, and I've invited her onto the show to talk about her campaign for a school district board in L.A. and how we plan to take the power back, because that's what this show is about.
It's about winning awards.
So, Reena, welcome to The Adam King Show.
Thank you so much, Adam, for having me and letting me voice our need for the children for the schools.
You know, absolutely. And I just want to say, like, we get a lot of really great guests on this show.
And, you know, we had Patrick Morrissey, Attorney General of West Virginia, who's running for governor. We've had In the last election cycle, we had gubernatorial candidates.
All these executive roles are so great.
But really, the real change that's needed comes on the grassroots level.
It's about the school boards.
It's about the city councils.
It's about the community boards.
All these different things are so important.
And we on the right, I guess you'd call it.
I don't even want to call it left and right anymore.
It's like it doesn't even fit into that paradigm anymore.
It's like with us or against us and with us meaning America.
Are you with us or against us?
And but it's about these local elections.
And you took upon yourself to run for school board district one.
And you're fighting the battle against the establishment.
And what made you do this?
Tell our audience. Give us a little bit of background on yourself and tell us what brought you here.
Absolutely. I am a former teacher from New York City where it's not easy being a teacher and wasn't easy.
I am a mother of three, a grandmother of three and one on the way.
So I've been through the school system here in LA with my grandchildren and still through that.
And there is a desperate need for change.
It is actually urgent from my perspective.
We need to make changes.
We need to urgently alert everyone that irregardless, as you mentioned, you don't have children. Not everyone has children in the school system.
A lot of kids are in private school.
A child is a child.
They will play outdoors.
They will text each other.
They will see each other in soccer.
They will see each other on the dance floor.
We need to have everyone on board with this because irregardless of who we are, it makes a difference for us when it comes to kids academically being taught how to read and how to write.
How to do math. Just the basics.
We need to go back to basics.
And that's why I'm jumping back into the world of making a difference.
I've taught for many years.
I've worked in sleepaway camps with 800 campers, 200 staff members.
It's quite scary what's going on in the school system.
And we can't allow this to continue.
We have to make changes.
Right. It's pretty dire, you know?
Like, I want to, like, be Gentle, because you are running in Los Angeles County, so I want to really tiptoe and not say what's always on my mind like I normally do.
I want to respect you and not put you in a situation where they could clip you, but you're really going up against the establishment.
Yesterday, you and I were on Twitter, and we did a Twitter X Spaces strategy session, and we talked about a lot of different things.
One of the topics that got brought up, Was like the black-pilled nature of elections in California.
And the seemingly obvious question of voter fraud.
Now, I question these lower-level elections very heavily.
Especially, you know, District Attorney down.
After Gascon, it was like...
How could we trust our elections boards to actually serve our best interests?
How do we actually know that the people who are being voted into office are actually getting into office?
Did Gascon really win that election and release all the prisoners that went around killing and stealing?
Or was that voter fraud?
And so you and your race on these lower level races...
I feel like the only way to really take one of them is to have a tidal wave of support so that it at least allows for the questioning of the voter fraud should there actually be some sort of voter fraud.
It cannot look like the other elections.
There has to be a massive wave and insurgency for you.
Are you worried about voter fraud in your election?
You know, we've heard some things from where it's being counted, where the ballots are being sent in.
I don't have any validation of anything, but all I'm going to say is because the school board is a nonpartisan, You could be Republican. You could be Democrat.
You could be an independent. You could be anyone.
It doesn't really much matter.
I'm running on a platform for our children.
I'm running on the platform of basically honoring the parents so that the parents will have a say and the innocence of children in the schools.
So it doesn't matter what you believe in politically.
This has to do with the core of our future.
Right. And these issues that you're most passionate about, there's such a variety of them.
And I said in the monologue, this is really like one of the episodes for the shtetl, which I love doing these episodes, just for like the OG crew in the hood.
And District 1 falls in the Jewish neighborhoods, the Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods of LA. And so, oh, we lost your video. I don't know if we lost your audio, but we got you back.
But in that process, there's all sorts of issues that are important to different groups inside of the district.
But the number one issue that bugs me out is the sexualization of children inside of the school system and the acceptance of the gender ideologies and the forcing it upon the youth.
Is this an issue to you?
How do you feel about this?
Where's your stance on the whole...
It is an issue, but I just want to go back, if I may, for one second about your previous question.
Oh, about voter fraud? Yeah, not necessarily a fraud, but I think if anyone and everyone who can vote, come out and vote March 5, so that inevitably your vote will be counted, will be heard. And if we see...
An X amount of people coming in to vote, but we only have 30 % of those votes, we start to question it.
So come out and vote.
Your vote will ultimately be counted.
We need to start making a difference.
We need to make the difference now. So that was the previous question.
To answer you about sexuality and explicit sexual books that are in the school libraries today, I have pictures of it.
I've received Numerous copies of information.
I don't necessarily want to share all these things, but one of the books that's actually in the school system basically is called Normal.
We have books on sexual positions.
They're in the schools, and so a five-year-old can happen to just be leafing through it and seeing it.
A 10-year-old. These are things that should not be on the school shelf for any child to see, but rather, if appropriate age-wise, then we can teach them about it and or in the home, parents have ability to teach about it as well.
And so sexually explicit material should not be just available in the school system.
You know, we can't have Bibles in the school.
Kids can bring them in. They could read it at lunch.
But we've got to be age-appropriate, information-appropriate so the kids know how to read and how to write.
That's what we need to spend time on, not about sexuality in the school system.
I have a real question for you.
I know you collect a lot of empirical evidence with the sexualization of minors and stuff in the schools.
What is the youngest age book that you have seen?
What demographic is the youngest demographic that you've seen targeted with sexualized material in the schools?
Adam, that's a very open question, actually, because if the book is in the library, any child can pull it out.
Well, I understand that. But you know, like some books are written in paragraph form.
Some books are not even picture books.
Some books are like picture books with one sentence on each page because the kid is five.
We've shown some stuff on our network that has been distributed through school systems.
Where they are literally sexualizing five-year-olds.
There was this book called My Pretty Pussycat.
And it's about this young girl who's constantly petting her pussycat and meets up with a boy who has a pet chicken and it's his cock.
And the pussycat and the cock play with each other.
And this is in a book, a children's book.
So the question that I have for you is, you're like an actual candidate for office.
You're collecting empirical evidence about these what I would call sexualization crimes of minors in the school system.
What is the youngest material you've seen targeted?
What age group would you see?
Something specifically made for that age group that is in the school system.
As young as kindergarten, I'm looking at something right now that I will not share because it was given to me to talk about.
And that is actually a book that actually, it's featuring graphics.
And I've got the pictures like sitting right in front of me right now as I speak with you.
Can you share it with us? Why not share it with us?
Break the news here. We need radical leaders who aren't afraid to break the news.
Break the news. There are images from the book is called It's Perfectly Normal.
Oh, actually, don't show the images.
I'll tell you why, because we're just about to come out of a YouTube ban.
And if I show those images on my YouTube channel, they will kick me off again for sexual exploitation, even though they're in the schools.
But so good point.
Don't show those pictures. But but maybe you could tell us the title of the book.
The title of the book is called It's Perfectly Normal.
And they have basically public schools teaching kids it's normal to have sex like this.
And so this is what's in the schools right now.
Oh, wow.
Yeah. Oh, wow is right.
So I'm just going to do a little screen share here.
And I found the book on Amazon for $13.99.
Mm-hmm. Ages 10 and up, it says. More than 1.5 million copies they kicked out of here.
It's Perfectly Normal has been a trusted resource on sexuality for more than 25 years.
Rigorous vetted by experts.
Oh, the experts say.
I'm so sick of the experts.
This is the most ambitiously updated edition.
Yeah, ambitiously, right, because they're really trying to groom the kids.
Featuring to-the-minute information and language accompanied by new and refreshed art.
This is disgusting. Yeah, so this is information that I have received.
Oh my God, Rina, look at all these books.
I know, I know.
Sex is a funny word?
What the hell is this?
What the mother F is this?
And this is, some of these are actually in the schools, or some kids have it because of what they have.
Oh my God. This is an issue for me for something like that to be in the school system.
In the schools, we need to learn.
Kids need to learn how to read and write.
Adam, they don't know how to read and write.
We have numbers that are actually frightening.
We have Just to give you a number about the reading, and I'm moving from the sex things because this is what's given a part of the educator's time, the teacher's time to deal with- So where was that book?
Hold on, let's back up for a second.
Where was that book that you had?
Where did they give it to you?
It was in a classroom, it was in a library?
It was in a library. Wow.
In a school in our district?
I don't know which.
It was in the LAUSD. That's crazy.
So if it's our district or another district.
Was it an elementary school or like a junior high school?
What kind of school? It was elementary school.
Oh my God.
And what I'm being told is that basically, quote unquote, a lot of these books are brought and approved by the state.
Oh my God. If the state approves it, we have to have it.
No such thing. No such thing.
That was mind-blowing that they're on Amazon like that.
Mm-hmm. So if people need to really be aware...
I remember when I got the talk.
Do you remember when you got the talk way back when?
I remember when I got the talk.
We had hygiene where they taught us certainty, not sexuality.
But it wasn't like that.
That's not how I got taught.
That's not how I had the talk.
Not a chance.
Not at all. Not a chance.
Not at all. I didn't have like cartoon.
No. For kids.
It's so gross.
I told you I have information.
You know who probably buys those?
Pedos probably buy those.
Well, look, I have something else to tell you.
And then we'll move on to another subject.
That just grossed me out.
Yeah. I mean, I've seen some of those books and stuff, especially in the high schools.
Anyways, go on.
Sorry to be disgusted in front of you.
It's an emergency.
Right, it is an emergency.
You know, because if kids are watching, as we talked about yesterday, they're driving on the street and all these signs, and then they have this in school, it's like, you know, what else is left not to do?
Right, so I was telling Rina yesterday on our spaces when we were strategizing on District 1, and I encourage all of our enemies to go watch that video, that all the billboards in the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, not all of them, but a lot of them have been bought up by LGBTQ ads advertising homosexuality to the Orthodox Jewish community.
When you couple that with what's going on in school, like Rina just said, the kids are driving to the market with their mother, six, seven years old.
They already saw this book with graphic images of homosexual children.
And they look up and they see these signs, LGBTQ. There's a reason that they're marketing this in the most religious parts of Los Angeles.
And parents have a right to make decisions for their children, help the children make decisions.
It's not that we need to have things blasted in our faces all the time.
We need to educate kids.
I mean, if there's a child who...
Selects gender differential, it's fine.
What they're born with is fine.
But not to be in our faces, in our schools, which is the critical thing.
So the child is, and I think I mentioned this little story to you.
Can I tell it, the one about the 11-year-old girl?
Yeah, sure. So I think this is really an eye-opening story.
It's not a story. It's something that not too long ago happened up in the San Francisco school district.
A little 11-year-old girl who was having issues at home.
Her mom was just a single mom diagnosed with cancer.
The little girl's grandfather had passed away, single family, single parent.
And this 11-year-old came to school basically telling the teacher that she wants to be a boy.
And the teacher talked to her and day after day, this went on for a bit.
And you want to be a boy?
Yes, because boys don't cry.
Moving forward, she was sent to the school counselor.
Counselor walked her through with the teacher and they basically changed this girl's gender name and miscellaneous other changes that went on.
In the whole process of all this, the mother was never, ever informed, never notified, never questioned. Only after this transition of name and miscellaneous other thing, nothing physical because she was 11 at the time, did the mother find out because the kid was basically dumped.
They did whatever they wanted to do and the little girl now is coming in with a boy's name.
And the only thing that this girl was complaining about, she doesn't want to cry like boys.
She wants to be a boy because she doesn't want to cry.
She has all these issues at home, losing her grandfather.
Mother is sick. The mother is probably distraught.
Help her out with mental assistance.
So we are lacking the knowledge of how to mental health ability to help kids who have issues simply like that.
Fast forward, the mother took the school to court.
She won $100,000.
But how sad that in the crisis of her own personal life, she had to deal with this with her daughter.
So we need to know, and this is where I'm coming in, being so forthright for parental rights and parental involvement with their children.
They need to know, and teachers are not equipped to deal with this.
Clearly mental health people need to be a part of the school system to help kids out and listen to them.
I just think it's crazy.
There's the failing test grades.
There's poor graduation rates.
There's all these statistical anomalies of failure inside of the education system, and they've been there and perpetrated there for a very long time.
This is like a dire situation.
This one specific issue of the sexualization of minors inside of the school system is of dire consequence.
It needs to be addressed immediately.
Every single time that a child is groomed sexually, it is sexual assault.
It is sexual abuse of a minor.
Well, and also, given the fact that right now we actually have gender studies that are almost mandatory in the schools, and that's taking up time from the academic studies.
Right. And we need to really be aware of that.
We have to wake up, and you're talking about the numbers.
In actuality, in LA Unified School District, the test results actually are showing us in 2023, which is just a step back, that 58 % of our students actually did not meet the standard for English over half the kids.
Wow. So we have half the kids walking around.
They don't know how to read and write.
They don't read in comprehension.
They're failing.
And even a better score is that in math, 69 % did not meet the state standard.
And we talked about this yesterday as well.
69%, that's a staggering number.
Staggering, absolutely staggering number.
And how can these kids graduate?
How can they move on?
How can they be good upstanding citizens with this type of rating of scores?
So we need from the basics.
I want to go back to the academics.
I want to go back to parents rights.
I want to really reach out to kids who are in need of, you know, we have a lot of special needs in our school.
About 65,000 special needs students.
That doesn't mean that they just need to be ignored, doesn't mean that they need one-on-one, but incorporate them in what is actually the right thing to do.
And we know what are the right things to do.
And we have a huge budget.
That we can help these kids.
We don't even, you know, somebody asked me the other day about raising taxes if we need to, you know, reallocate funds.
We're working with a budget of over 30 billion dollars.
LAUSD is a 30 billion dollar budget?
Overall, we have a 30 billion dollar budget.
Just for LAUSD? And we're getting a very small portion of that.
That's crazy. So a smaller portion of that is given to the school system.
That's bigger than most countries' GDP. Actually, I'm going to look that statistic up.
I'm going to read it to you right now because I have it.
Average national GDP. $9 million on instruction.
Out of the $30 billion, schools allocate $9 million, with an M, on instruction. So you could see the discrepancy.
$6 million go on support services.
And additionally, there's $795 million on other expenses.
That's insanity.
Mm-hmm. So we have money.
We just have to figure out how to reallocate it, how to use it correctly.
So I'm looking up a chart right now on listing countries by GDP. And we leave the trillions at number 20 with Switzerland and get into the billions.
And we get to $30 billion at $110 billion.
Cambodia. So, listen to this.
LA Unified School District has more money in their budget to spend than the GDP of Cambodia, Iceland, Georgia, Zambia, Trinidad and Tobago, Bosnia, Haiti, Sudan, Armenia.
Guinea, Albania, Mozambique, Malay, Yemen, Burkina, which there's a huge war there, Burkina Faso, Botswana, Malta, Benin, Syria, Gabon, Mongolia, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Niger, North Korea, Guana, Moldova, North Macedonia, Madagascar, Brunei, Afghanistan, Mauritius, Congo, Laos, Rwanda, Bahamas, Malawi, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, Chad.
Some of you are probably wondering why I'm going through this whole list.
It's important that you see all these countries.
Tajikistan, Somalia, Kosovo, Mauritania, New Caledonia, Equatorial Guinea, Togo, Monaco, Bermuda, Montenegro, Maldives, Liechtenstein, South Sudan, Barbados, French Polynesia, Cayman Islands, Fiji, Eswana, Liberia, Djibouti, Aruba, Anora, Cerami, Sierra Leone, Greenland, Belize, Burundi, Central African Republic...
We're actually so low right now that we could lump in LA Unified School District has more money than the bottom 40 countries together.
Almost combined. Yes, combined.
That's so insane.
The LA Unified School District has more money to spend than the bottom 40 countries of the earth make in a year.
And we fail everything.
And by the way, 59 % of that revenue comes from the state to us.
So we have the funds and only 30 % is generated from local sources.
I stopped the list.
At the bottom of the list is all sorts of islands.
It's crazy.
There's 40 plus countries on this list that we have more.
This is news to me. I never saw it through that lens before.
That's why I'm here.
You know, Reena, let's look at that statistic one more time.
Let's see all the countries that GDP is a billion dollars, a 30 billion dollars.
30, yeah. We have Lebanon, El Salvador, Honduras, Zimbabwe, Cyprus, Papua New Guinea, Senegal, Cambodia, and Iceland. Macau and Libya.
Yeah, countries GDP compared to the amount of budget that LA Unified School District spends every single year.
How many kids are in the school system?
Do you know? We have dropped.
We had over 500,000 kids.
We've dropped in the last couple of years to just tad underneath 500,000.
Let's run that number, actually.
I'm actually quite curious.
How many dollars per student?
18,000. About 18,000 per student.
That's insane. And they can't figure it out?
Mm-mm. Per year?
Per year. So 18,000 and like the average classroom size is what?
We're looking at 20-plus students, but again, we're talking about numbers.
Let's say 20. So every single classroom nets $360,000 a year.
But Adam, that's excluding the undocumented kids that have been You know, filing into our school system.
And we are getting money.
So the number is above $360,000 per classroom, minimally.
That's the most conservative.
Because some classrooms, I'm sure, have like 30 students.
I didn't have 20 students.
I had more than 20 students in my classes growing up.
That's right. Right. So at 20 students, it's $360,000 a year per classroom.
How many classrooms are in the school district?
Do you know? That'd be another interesting number.
I can tell you the number of schools.
Is that in the district or is that in LAUSD as a whole?
LAUSD as a whole.
You know, the GDP thing blew my mind, Reena.
We're going to have to clip that one hard.
Yes, and I will get you more information because hopefully you'll have me on the show again.
Yeah, absolutely. And you'll do follow us because I am constantly getting newer information.
And so here's the answer for 2022-23, we had 565,000 students.
But that number has dropped, as I mentioned, because we also have, because of whatever reasons, students have just dropped out of school.
And we've got less than 25,000 teachers because we are teachers short.
You know, I just came from a school that they're needing teachers and so they're training educators.
That's, you know, how bad really things are.
Here's another really bizarro statistic for you, Reena.
Let's change the game, right?
We already established that an average classroom is going to bring in $360,000 a year, right? Right.
With 25,000 teachers at a $30 billion budget, that would mean that every year each teacher could essentially have $1.2 million to spend on education.
Really? You think?
That's a crazy number.
$30 billion divided by 25,000 teachers?
Essentially, that's $1.2 million per teacher that is in the system.
That should outrage everybody.
Instead of per classroom, we're now talking about per teacher.
And then how much of that goes into administrative for their school systems?
I'm sure a ton. I'm sure they gobble over half of it for administration fees.
Whatever it is.
But even still, think about it.
A teacher can bring in...
I imagine that if a teacher had $600,000 independently, the education would be much better than all the bureaucracies that go into this school system.
It just shows you how industrialized our school system has become.
They're destroying the future.
It's not just the children.
It's like the future economy.
20 years from now, 10 years from now, nobody's going to be trained in anything.
They're just going to be a bunch of emotional, overreactive young adults who never grew up.
And on that note, by the way, our district, the Los Angeles school district has only 82.2 % graduation rate.
So one in every five kids don't graduate.
Yeah. And if you add that up to the number of students who have been through the school system, what are they doing?
Because they clearly are not academically inclined to graduate.
be a benefit to our society.
We're not teaching them any other vocation in the school where they used to teach vocational studies.
I just came from one of the schools.
They actually have dancing there.
They have arts there. They have music.
So they are teaching children Things that they can use in the future.
And we don't have that in the public schools because funds have been cut.
So we need to really wake up and redo how we teach our kids.
That's the future. It's honestly crazy to me.
It's so crazy to me.
I think that some of these statistics that we just went over are really game-changing.
Truly, truly game-changing.
I mean, like, my mind is blown right now.
I don't even know how to continue.
We still have like a half hour left of the episode, and I'm just like, what...
What else do we talk about?
Clearly there's massive amounts of corruption, and clearly there's an agenda with insane amounts of money to brainwash children into being LGBTQ, to be trans.
I'm going to get water.
I'll be back in a second. Please.
I'll continue with a soliloquy.
I love talking. You hear it, guys.
This is crazy stuff.
It goes on and on and on.
If you think about the vast size of this juggernaut, this American education system in general, but not even America.
We're just talking about Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles education system is $30 billion.
That's crazy. It would make it the 104th largest economy in the world out of 213 economies.
To me, this just shows the real pinnacle nature of the problem.
And my mind is just blown on this episode, Reena.
You really took me to a new level.
It's much more than just the sexualization of children.
Well, there's a lot more that the school district has to do for our children.
And I think the funding is there and we need to utilize it correctly.
We need safety issues for the school.
The kids need to be protected.
The teachers need to be, for example, Teachers don't need to be the police person.
I got another crazy statistic for you.
No, go on. Finish that and then we'll go into another one.
We could talk all day because there's so much in the school.
Finish that point and then I'm going to blow your mind again.
Okay. It won't be the first time.
Really importantly, The teachers, the students, the parents need to have a safe haven when they bring their children to school.
Now the children need to be safe on many levels.
So we're talking about bullying.
We're talking about sexuality.
We need to talk about basically that they need to be safe from someone else coming onto the premises.
So safety issues really incorporate a lot.
The word safety means a whole lot.
So we need to address that to have the children protected in the school system.
We need to have the teachers protected in the school.
So as a teacher, I don't want to look around in my class and feel that somebody's walking in through the door and I'm like, who is this?
They're talking about possibly having some teachers with, you know, guns in school.
Not necessarily right here, but if it starts anywhere, we need to really get control of the safety issues so when a child is dropped at school by a parent, We're having parents who really rely on the school system to take care of their children.
That's a great segue to the next mind blow that I'm going to give you because it's about safety and security, right? Now let's look at how much budget LA Unified District has in comparison to countries listed by military defense spending.
Because all these countries have enough money to put forward militaries, but LA Unified School District doesn't even have enough money to put forward for a single security officer.
So LA Unified School District has more money in its budget than starting at number 12.
Number 11 is Ukraine.
Number 12 is Italy.
LA Unified School spends more money every single year than the military defense spending of Italy, Australia, Canada, Israel, Spain, Brazil, Poland, Netherlands, Qatar, Taiwan, Singapore, Turkey, Pakistan, Colombia, Algeria, Indonesia, Mexico.
And by now we're in like the $8.5 billion a year.
These countries don't even feel like a...
sizable, real military.
But Turkey, like I said, is $10.6 billion.
Pakistan is $10.3 billion.
Israel is $23.4 billion.
Canada, $26.9 billion.
Australia, $32.3 billion.
So you think about L.A. budgets that L.A. spends...
More on education than these countries do on their militaries, yet they cannot field a single security officer with a gun at every single school.
And we're even talking about something so stupid.
It's not stupid.
It's actually quite smart. The teacher should have gun training.
That's the most cost-effective way to do this.
Everybody always complains.
It would cost too much. We'd have to raise taxes.
You got $30 billion right there.
But Adam, you don't want to take away, from my perspective, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think I would, as a teacher, as an educator, I don't want to be the police officer in my classroom.
Right, so a security officer, a security guard's annual salary for the school system, you make a special police force just for the city.
And it's just for the school districts and they're all unified.
LA Unified has its own.
Do you know that the Bureau of Cannabis Control in the state of California has its own police force?
Yes. The Health Bureau has 2,200 police officers just in the Health Bureau.
Mm-hmm. Of the state of California.
Schools district, zero police officers.
So there was a police department, a LAUSDPD, and they stationed one permanent person in every single school.
There's your problem right there.
You got your armed guard.
It's an actual police officer who can detain and arrest somebody.
You know, they could call in backup.
You know, it's a... What are we doing?
These are such simple problems.
Why are they taking so long to solve them?
And Adam, a lot of parents that I've spoken to have been concerned of having a police officer at the school.
However, we've had that previously.
And if you have somebody who is a security guard, not a police, but a security guard, Kids get to know who he is, and it depends how you introduce this person to the school, that he's there or she's there to be a part of the school system, a part of their family, and to protect them so that they don't have to be On alert all the time that if they hear something in the school,
they have to jump under the table or, you know, block the doorway or anything like that.
So protect our children, give them the the mellowness and the security of being Quiet in a school.
And I'll tell you something. If an officer is involved in a shootout anywhere in the city and radios in for backup, there's 20 cop cars in three seconds that is going to be on that spot.
If it's a security guard with a privatized company, cops are going to be one arm removed from the active shooter situation.
If it's an actual police department in LAUSDPD, They're gonna be surrounding the school in seconds.
There's never gonna be a school shooting again.
But you know, like, here on this show, like, I always talk about it.
Like, a lot of these school shooters are, like, hyped up on SSRIs, and now it seems to be this trend of, this transgendered trend of school shooters.
But that's a good pivot.
We talked about security.
Now let's go a little bit more in depth into security and talk about what I would call the mind control, but the over-prescribing of mental medication, SSRIs, stuff like that to children in the schools.
What's your thoughts on those?
What's your thoughts on that?
Well, I have a lot of thoughts on that because one of my family members years ago was basically told not to come to school unless he is put on Ritalin.
Wow. Ritalin was the medication of the time to control a child, shall we say. And needless to say, it was the most detrimental thing that they could have prescribed at the time to most children.
And we need to have mental health people who are really educated in the field to deal with children, to deal with educators, because educators are people.
And right now we're dealing with a lot of crises with children.
Post-lockdown, we've had kids who have been away from school, away from their friends, away from a classroom, away from their teachers.
All they were living with is this small little box.
And I know that personally because I've seen that with my grandchildren.
They have really missed their couple of years of maturation in the social world, and that in itself has given them major issues.
We're not dealing with that right now on the school level.
We need to help these kids move past that fear of being locked away, of not going to school.
My grandson's teacher passed away from COVID. You know, they were doing homework daily on Zoom, and then one day the teacher is gone.
So whatever it was, whatever illness he had, COVID or whatever, we need to help these children mentally to support them if they need medication, medicate them correctly, but the parents have to be a part of this.
So we can't just take a step back and say, you know what?
We got to drug them or we can't drug them.
We have to be careful with what the kids bring to school.
That's another key issue because we have parents with medications.
We have parents who have drugs and the kids have access to that.
So again, it's the safety of the school, you know, of listening for the adults of what's going on with the children.
I mean, honestly, this podcast is blowing my mind because...
You know, you don't really think about school board races as being so pivotal.
But as long as this school board is controlled by them, this will be the outcome.
And that's why...
Even if the governor is different, and the city council is different, and everyone is different, as long as these people still occupy what most consider such a low-level thing...
It's not such a low-level thing.
It pretty much dictates the whole future.
Children who don't have any skills when they leave the schools don't produce things for the economy.
I want to just interrupt you for one second because I just pulled this out.
When you talked about the government on many levels and the school system.
So I'm going to read something to you.
We can talk about it or you could go on, but I think this is such an urgent call.
So Governor Newsom just signed a bill to protect sex offenders who have homosexual sex with minors.
So we need to really be aware in this city of what's going on from the top down, but at the level of the school board, we need to have a state.
We need to have, I call it, you know, we need to have a deflated balloon.
I am going to be a roadblock.
And I'm going to put my foot down because things that are not acceptable, we have to teach children the basics.
We have to protect the children, how innocent they are.
Let them experience what a child needs to experience.
Yeah, childhood. Who are we as adults to basically say to them, you know, you're a boy or a girl because the little girl's playing with trucks.
You know, I got to tell you, I feel like I had such an idyllic childhood.
You know, looking back when I when I was ready to leave town and, you know, graduate high school, I just wanted to get out and go explore the world and everything.
That was all a part of the journey.
I had such an idyllic childhood.
A simple American childhood.
We would play with tree forts.
We would play sports.
We didn't have screens. We didn't have devices.
We did really well on our exams.
Very smart. I can still do calculus.
And Adam, by the way, you're saying something, you know, you didn't have the screens, you didn't have all this, and you experienced life.
And our children today are not experiencing life because they'll sit there with their little tiny iPad or their phone or whatever they have.
They don't know how to socialize.
They don't know how to communicate. They don't know how to play.
I think it's really important that everyone that's listening to this be aware that all you need is one child in a family, one child in a group that actually has been privy to information that we've been talking about these Sexual books, previed to harassment, to bullying.
And the rest will just kind of follow through and it will affect our society.
So nobody is in a bubble.
Right. One of the things that you said to me the other day is that if one kid gets access to this book in the library and his mind becomes open to sexual ideas, The next family gathering, he's going to go or she's going to go share that with all the other kids and then it spreads and now all the kids are twerking.
Yeah. And so we need to really go out and vote because we have to make a change because otherwise our next generation is going to be uneducated, bullies. Oversexualized.
Massive STD rates.
You know, and that's why we've had...
Hot up, transhuman, transgendered.
Kids with scars all over their bodies.
We've had issues with safety because these kids are not educated.
We didn't even touch on violence in the school system.
There's so much bullying and fighting in the schools.
Another reason why a police officer on campus would be a good thing to have your own little cop.
If there's a big fight on campus, that's his job.
Not the teacher, not the...
I can't imagine a 65-year-old teacher breaking up a fight between a football player or an athlete.
Or even a 30-year-old teacher, if you have two 6th graders that are taller than her...
We're asking for trouble.
I get these videos all the time on the Twitter.
You see kids fighting with teachers, too, in the classroom.
And then they all have their phones out, so they're all filming it.
There's like 40 different copies of the student that fought the teacher.
This is a really crazy, topsy-turvy situation that calls for immediate action.
You know, it's like cease and desist.
There should be like a cease and desist.
A dollar shouldn't be spent.
We already saw that we could keep the kids home.
We're going to keep them home for like a couple months while we clean up shop, fire everybody that is a little bit weird, reassess the financial situation, and put the money where it should be, which is inside of higher education.
You know, elevating the children's minds and teaching them.
I read Latin growing up.
I read Latin growing up.
I had so much of an education outside.
I read all the classic literature before I went to college.
Homer, Aristotle, Plato.
All of them I read before.
Canterbury. All of these before college.
I didn't go to...
I was in the public school system, but I was in the AP program, of course. But I was...
You know, I didn't go to some special school or anything like that.
This is what was available to kids who had the ability to sit and learn.
And I think today parents' excuse is, you know what, I'm going to send my kids to a private school, which is a big, big, big no-no.
Mentally for the parents to say, you know, and I've met so many people, my kid's in private school, or my child is...
Well, in the District 1, in the Jewish community, you have a lot of the private school stuff because the community just chooses to disengage from all of that Meshuggah's craziness.
What's crazy about that is the private schools cost $35,000 a year per kid.
The schools are draining young, successful families, robbing them of their futures.
Robbing them of their hard-earned success, that upper-middle class, those $250,000 to $500,000 a year earners, and it drains them of all the extra cash.
They all have like four kids.
That's $140,000 a year per family.
It's draining families.
That's investment capital that could have gone to create jobs.
That's investment capital that could have gone to create more wealth.
But instead, it's draining young families.
And that's the biggest issue inside of the Jewish community is that the future investment The future power of the nation is being held up in privatized education because secular education A is so bad and B there are no means or grants to integrate the Jewish education into The ability to get grants.
What's amazing is these people still pay taxes and pay for all the other kids' education but can't get any of that money back from the government to pay for their own kids' education in private schools, which is crazy. That's the biggest issue in the shtetl.
By the way, Adam, a lot of the non-Jews send their kids to private schools as well.
Oh, yeah. Same reasons.
They're also in the bubble.
We need to wake up and say, why do we have to pay such exuberant taxes, whether you're Jewish or anything like that, for a school system that we're paying taxes for?
It's so risky.
It's so risky.
You send your kid to school and they might want to become trans and they might want to become something else.
They get exposed to ideas that are horrible.
They get miseducated on everything.
It's a nightmare.
We're not giving them an education.
That's why it's so important for me that academics be on the front.
We're paying astronomical $18 billion.
Parents are taxpaying communities and we're just not getting anything for it.
The craziest thing is there's $30 billion to actually do something with.
Educate graduates.
Graduates make the difference so they can meaningfully contribute to society.
And our kids are our future.
And every single day that we fail them, we have failed our society.
We failed ourselves. You know, Reena, I was going to give you the last word, but I kind of feel like that was the last word.
We're approaching the end of the podcast here.
I'm really happy that you came on the show.
You really blew my mind, educated me on a lot of different things.
I hope you get the opportunity to educate.
