It's about time that we end one particular bad and sad joke, and that is that there is some kind of an educational system in this country, because there's not.
There's not.
It's disgusting.
It's disgusting.
I was very lucky.
When I was a kid, growing up in the 60s, I went to Catholic school.
When Catholic school was Catholic school, we had nuns.
They were great.
Nobody ever acted up.
Nobody ever skipped a grade.
Oh, you went back a grade?
We heard about a kid who actually went back in a grade because of his handwriting.
He didn't pass handwriting.
Handwriting!
Today, did you ever hand a kid a pen?
They hold it like a dagger.
The same way people hold...
Forks.
Do you ever see that?
When they cut meat?
It's like, what is this?
They're playing the cello.
They're Pablo Casals out of Western Sizzler.
In any event.
Under my rules, we've got to realize one thing.
They come to grips with something which is very, very simple.
Schools, for the most part, are glorified well, they're basically daycare.
I'm sorry.
The teachers, I'm sure they're great, but listen, they're through.
They just want to get their retirement.
They want to go to the rubber.
They don't care.
Look, stop it!
And why should they care?
I'm saying it's partly their fault, but not really their fault.
Next, we've got to make a determination right away.
Who's going to go to college and who's not?
Listen, you know, let's face it.
There are people who aren't going to go to college at all.
The only college they're going to go to is, as the boys downtown call, prison.
We have to reintroduce this notion of vocational schools, trade schools, learning something, learning a craft, learning an art, learning something, learning something.
If somebody wants to work with computers, do it now.
Reintroduce woodworking and carpentry.
Stop pretending that it's a one-size-fits-all thing because it's not.
Next, school is not this default thing you go to.
Here's the rule.
Three strikes and you're out.
Three significant, serious, disciplinary actions, and you go home to Mommy and Daddy.
You're on your own.
That's it!
Sorry, Mrs. Lipschitz.
Little Bucky here is coming home.
Why?
Too scary.
Too disruptive.
He's yours.
Sorry.
What do you mean?
You heard me.
He's yours.
Oh, no, you don't.
Oh, no, no, no.
He's yours.
We're done.
We're through.
That's it.
You know how many kids in New York City never came back after...
after...
COVID.
Remember all that nonsense with this remote learning?
They just never came back.
They're not AWOL.
They're not a truant.
They're just gone.
Nobody cares.
We are losing our shirts to China, Europe.
Let me tell you something about China.
One of the biggest cons ever is how terrible China is.
Do I want to live there?
No.
But I don't want to live in Hawthornsville, Utah, either.
And I just made that city up because I just don't want to live there, with all due respect.
But let me tell you one thing about China that they do.
You know, whenever they talk about these factories where they make the, you know, the Apple phones and people are jumping out of the windows and it's a hellhole and all this.
Let me tell you about this place.
I'll never forget this.
Somebody told me years ago that If you, that Apple or somebody, and don't quote me on this, but I like the idea.
That Apple said, we need a factory where we can have like 200,000 workers.
We got it.
Oh, and they have to be educated.
We got it.
And middle management has to have a master's or higher.
We got it.
And we're going to go 24-7.
We got it.
That's why they're there.
Not just because Apple and Coke and all these people are into draconian slave-like working places, but because they have something that the United States does not have.
Because our education sucks.
Sucks.
And you think with Elon and this business about rocketry and SpaceX and all this stuff and AI, you think there would be this resurgence.
You would think there would be this in it.
No!
Go to any class.
No, better yet.
Go to any public school.
Just hang around.
Not hang around.
That looks weird.
But just listen over here, a playground.
You will hear mind-numbing, paralytic vocalese.
Kids who can't make eye contact.
Kids who've never held a ball.
Kids who swipe, kids who are just enfeebled by virtue of psychotropic medications, bad families, a lack of initiative, a lack of imagination, a lack of smarts, not to mention homozygotic cousins inbreeding over the course of generations, and that's who we are.
Am I being harsh?
I'm not even being harsh enough.
We are through.
Let me tell you something.
Until somebody comes in and says, alright, that's it.
We have to care as much about kids in school and building the best and the brightest than we do with, you know, NBA or football or NFL or whatever.
That we care about.
Oh, we go crazy over that.
But do we care about anybody, any kids who...
I mean, we used to care about Eagle Scouts, which, frankly, I think is one of the dumbest things anybody's ever done, but it doesn't matter.
At least we cared about it.
Not anymore.
Do we even have Eagle Scouts anymore?
Let me tell you something.
We've got to act now and quick.
Listen to what I'm telling you.
I'm not just saying this.
I'm not just being cute.
I'm not just acting like one of these Bill O 'Reilly wannabes where there's kind of a no-shite obviousness.
And we've got to get back to basics.
Yeah, I know that.
Thank you very much.
I'm talking about the essentials.
The essentials and why we're losing.
Do I have to remind you we're the only country in the world that has somebody who is Brain damaged and brain dead?
A man who, as a friend of mine said, would you let Joe Biden drive you home from the airport?
No!
We have a guy who shouldn't be handling sharp objects.
This is a guy walking around yelling, who ordered the veal cutlet?
We had Dianne Feinstein, who didn't know where she was.
We got Fetterman, who's talking into some kind of a machine.
I don't know where he is.
Mitch McConnell hasn't blinked since the late 80s.
I mean, this is where we are, and we're just accepting it.
And we're accepting every variation of demented and degenerate, but we reject excellence when it comes to intelligence, reading, education, talent, gumption.
I'm not even sure what gumption is, but you know what I'm talking about.
This is where we are today.
Education, education.
We ought to have schools, special schools, special treatment where we...
We pull these people.
We go out scouring to find out who's the smartest, who's the brightest.
And we take them and we coddle and we coax and we luxuriate them with respect.
And we say, you're going to make a commitment like people would do to the military.
You're going to make a commitment to STEAM and other kind of projects.
We have to do something to try to reinvigorate, recultivate, refocus, repurpose.
Reorient, recalibrate what used to be in our country this respect and this admiration for smarts.
There was a time when Einstein came over here.
He was the hottest thing in the world.
Let's face it.
When was the last big scientist we cared about?
Stephen Hawking.
Why?
Because he was in the chair and he was on South Park.
Nobody knew what he was.
Nobody knew Hawking radiation.
Nobody cared about that.
No, no.
We've got to do something to do it now, my friends.
And it's more than just...
Trump and Biden.
It's about us.
It's about who we are.
It's about a reinvigoration and a reconnection and reattachment to the notion of smart.
