And I don't really care about soccer. I was a football, baseball, and hockey player growing up,
Starting point is 00:01:16 and soccer guys are around. But, you know, they kick the ball. They run after the ball. They kick the ball. It takes three hours to score two goals. I, you know. But I'm looking at this from a point of view of PR, American public relation.
Starting point is 00:01:33 It's huge. And that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. Okay, so in Mexico, they had a game. It's Canada, USA, Mexico, and they have games. And in Mexico, 40 people were arrested. Cops are in the hospital, 64 tons of garbage left behind the stadium. The usual Mexican cows. Sorry, it's the truth.
Starting point is 00:02:02 It's got the highest homicides. a suicide rate in the Western hemisphere, and it's not going to get any better because the president is a communist. I mean, this is just it. And there's no order in the cartels control the country, and everybody
Starting point is 00:02:17 knows it. But anyway, you contrast that to Kansas City or to Dallas last night where the USA team got whacked. And I knew that was going to happen. I should have put money on it. But we're
Starting point is 00:02:33 hockey, we're NFL, we're baseball, we're not soccer. And it wasn't even a close game. And I, you know, I was rooting for my country, but in the first five minutes, I went, it was not going to turn out well. And it didn't. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:02:57 time after time after time, game after game after game, everybody is a good time. And there's no rioting and there's no people in jail like you got in UK and France and none of that. People went to the game, paid a lot of money going to game. Okay. And they behave, generally speaking, in the United States. And that went out all over the world. But the press, of course, wouldn't acknowledge it because they don't like us.
Starting point is 00:03:30 all right and but everybody saw it and in fact some of the people living abroad who came here to watch the games were ecstatic about being in America roll a tape I fall in love with this country and this was so emotional I even cried in the stadium Americans are not rude Germans are not rude if we are together we can achieve great things. Your thoughts so far, first impressions. First impression, amazing, love the place, amazing, great people. We've had such opening arms and we've been so welcomed into the city of Boston that it's hard to sit there and think Americans are bad
Starting point is 00:04:18 because every single person I've met that's American has been unbelievable. They've been so welcoming, they've been so supporter of Scotland. So the police have been very, very good. They've been standing back, letting the people enjoy themselves. If you go to Italy, if you go to Spain, the police cause a bit of trouble. But here, they've just let everybody enjoy themselves. The police have been really kind, really helpful. If you look confused, they'll ask, is everything okay?
Starting point is 00:04:49 Well, it's a tribute to us. It's a tribute to we are a welcoming country. And the police did a fabulous job everywhere in all the. American venues, they were beyond impressive. There were some people who tried, but they didn't get anywhere to disrupt the World Cup. So this goes against our image abroad, where we're onerous and we're horrible and all of this. And that is the reason that the World Cup is so important. Because it's not true in the first place. We are a very generous nation. We give more money to help people than any other people on earth, per capita, and we never get the credit that we observe. Now, the World
Starting point is 00:05:45 Cups started on June 11th, and that it ends July 19th in the Meadowlands of New Jersey. and I like, I kind of like the Norwegians. With the big guy with the drum, and they're going row, row. And then President Trump has a racket by going to Turkey and say, no, we need Greenland back. Can't we do that next week? We got goodwill all over the place. And there's a president going, now we have to have to have. Greenland. Okay, next week. I just can't help himself. He just can't help himself.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And this was the height of capitalism, this whole World Cup thing. So the estimate is the United States will take in $620 million. And everybody, all the teams, $41 billion. And that's a lot of money. so everybody prospered. The image of the USA is good. And it was a big win. And I hope it stays that way. We still have a couple of weeks here. And that's a memo.
Starting point is 00:07:05 You're listening to the No Spinoos News Weekend Edition. Here's an interesting piece of history. Pope Pius I was running the Vatican for 19 years. And he was in World War II. And he's a fascinating man. He put out a decree that any Roman Catholic that subscribes to communism, that joins, promotes, any of that, is excommunicated. That means they can't receive the sacraments.
Starting point is 00:07:44 That's heavy. Okay? And he did that because of post-World War II, you had to call war. You had Stalin taken over all these countries and enslaving them in Europe. And Popeius XIV said, no, you can't be a part of it, or you can't be a part of the Catholic Church. That was very interesting. Very few people know that happen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So why? Why did he excommunicate Catholics who were involved with the communist movement? Joining us now from Missouri, Father Robert Ocerico, who is the President Emeritus, the Acton Institute, and he's a scholar, but more importantly, his brother played Pauly Walnuts on the Sopranos. How about that? How about that? Okay. And I'm sure you're proud of your brother. He's an excellent actor. I was very proud of him, yes. That's some family there, father. It's amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:58 It's amazing. I grew up with Polly Walnuts, and I know all these lines. All right, why did, and I don't know whether that's still in effect. Is it still in effect if you're a Roman Catholic, that if you embrace a communist movement, you are excommunicated? Is that still there? Yes. Yes. I mean, the communism is a materialistic.
Starting point is 00:09:21 atheistic ideology. By definition, you would communicate your own self from faith, from the Catholic Church. The problem is it comes in various forms with rationalizations and things like that. But we see what communism has done. I want to go back to something you said. It was a very important point you made. You said that people are not sure if they support socialism or not. The truth of the matter is that a lot of people are not sure if they support capitalism or not. Because they don't understand what that is either. They see it as greed. They see it as power, racism, as you already demonstrated through the popular media.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And I think what is incumbent upon us is to engage precisely that group that you identified who don't understand, who don't know, and help them to come to know both what socialism is is not, because the essential claim of socialism is a moral claim. It pretends to be about brotherhood and fraternity and things like that. But also to help people understand that capitalism is more about human freedom, human action that's reciprocal. The cultural things that we saw from these Europeans describing commonplace things in American life really come from a commercial culture. A commercial culture is a culture that's predicated on reciprocity. I need a bottle of water. Well, I have a bottle of water. I need some money. And you exchange. You become valuable to each other.
Starting point is 00:11:01 In a communist system, which has class struggle, you have division, the antithesis of fraternity, of community. Communism is false because it doesn't promote community. It doesn't promote community. It doesn't promote the social well-being, the social good. And parts of capitalism don't do this either. So we have a cultural problem on our hands and a moral problem. Right. Well, you know, greed has always been a part of human nature, which I think is what you're talking about with capitalism. And obviously, the people are greedy and they don't care about other people who are amassing far beyond what they need to live a life of luxury or whatever they want to live. But I always go back to this with not only the Catholic Church, but Protestants
Starting point is 00:11:54 as well. And Jews forget it. Communists hate Jews. Cross the board, hate them. Right? They've been persecuted in every single communist country. But the communists don't want any God. They don't want anything like that at all. Why? They don't want anything above them. They don't want anything above them. want anything that has a moral claim on the human heart that goes beyond the Politburo, beyond the ideology of class warfare and redistribution of the wealth. The threat of Christianity, in particular to communism, is that Christianity lives with a communist claim to want. That is fraternity, that is looking for the well-being of other people. Many of the communists have, in particular Marx and Engels said that early socialism existed in the New Testament. And what
Starting point is 00:12:56 they're identifying is that people had things in common, where there was need, people help those who were in need. And what the communists don't get, what the socialists don't get, is that that was the result of a conversion of a heart, a love of other people. Winston Churchill put it very well. You may know this quote because you've written so many books on history. Winston Churchill once said that the communism of the early church said, all that is mine is yours. The communism today says all that is yours is mine.
Starting point is 00:13:31 That's right. And this really points to the flaw. Right. Now, there is a split in the Catholic. church. You have the liberation theology movement, which is based out of South and Central America, where horrendous living conditions are driving people, religious missionaries, to try to help the poor. While at the same time they're looking up, and there's an oligarch or whatever you want to column with everything, and that liberation theology can sometimes morph into a communist situation.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Where am I wrong? The world is getting more unstable between escalating global conflicts and America's skyrocketing debt. Investors are ditching the dollar for hard assets, like gold. With uncertainty at an all-time high, I trust American Hartford Gold. to protect my savings. They make it simple to have physical gold and silver delivered to your door or place inside a tax advantage IRA.
Starting point is 00:14:45 If you have a 401k, their specialists can help you roll it over, tax and penalty free. With an A-plus, better business bureau rating and billions delivered. Their track record is unmatched. So don't wait, protect your wealth with something real. And right now, call and tell them O'Reilly sent you to receive up to $20,000 in free silver with your first purchase. 866-326-5526 or text bill to 998899. That's 866-326-5-7576. or text bill to 998899.
Starting point is 00:15:37 My name is Peter Parker, but I'm also Spider-Man. This July, we're faced with a threat. I can be anyone. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker. I'm just a neighbor, friendly neighbor. But he hasn't forgotten them. Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing. That's my responsibility.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Dr. Banner? I didn't know you could get that big. Spider-Man, brand new day in theaters July 31st. No, I think you're quite right. In fact, the early liberation theologians explicitly utilize Marx's socialist analysis of society and use biblical imagery and stories to talk about class warfare and liberation from Egypt, that kind of thing, and then apply it to today. And I think you're right to have sympathy with those who,
Starting point is 00:16:34 who combine a certain ignorance of what a free economy is all about with a burning passion and concern for the poor. This becomes volatile. And what liberation theology in effect attempted to do is to baptize Karl Marx, to make Karl Marx as though he was the epitome of what it means to create a good and truly social society. But that's really a radical point of view, and I wonder how much it's embraced.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I don't think Francis and Leo went that far, but certainly Leo is tottering around that area. I just tell you a little story. So you know Cardinal Dolan, right? Yes, yes. Missouri guy. So he came to me one time, and he wanted to buy a block full of row houses. in Brooklyn. And, you know, a charming guy he is and, you know, that kind of thing. And I know him. And he said, look, you need to help me buy this stuff. And I gave him a substantial amount of
Starting point is 00:17:49 money to buy the row houses, which he did, I assume, okay? I didn't get a lot of thanks for that, but I'll get my thanks later, I hope. And if I don't, this is going to be held to pay. pardon them. I'll mention it to him. All right. Okay. So anyway, my only dictum to the Cardinal, to Dolan, was don't cause social disorder. All right? I know these people need to be housed. I don't expect you to go around looking at their passports. I don't expect that. But if you see people coming in that are nefarious, they got tattoos from head to toe, you know, you're going to have to make some decisions about who's getting O'Reilly's block full of row houses, because I don't want social disorder, which is what massive migration leads to, if I could only
Starting point is 00:18:56 get Pope Leo's attention. So you can do more harm. by allowing an open border unsupervised people, then you do being charitable and doing what Jesus commanded. You know, to the least of those, you have a responsibility to help. And I believe that. So the story I'm telling you was that there was a conflict there. I don't know how Dolan worked it out. I didn't check it.
Starting point is 00:19:31 as I said, it was the right thing for me to do. I'm an old altar boy. He played on my Irish Catholic upbringing of which he knows so much. That's why he's a cardinal. Right. And I'm glad I did it. But when I hear Leo and to some extent Francis going, hey, let them all in, I'm going, no. That's not what Jesus wants.
Starting point is 00:20:01 and he did not want social disorder. He wanted harmony. Of course he did. Of course he did. Can I push back a little bit on the Leo remarks? Because I have a different perception of Leo. Leo served as a bishop in Peru for 20 years. Now, I don't know if you know,
Starting point is 00:20:23 but Peru was the nation that gave us the founder of liberation theology, Gustavo Gutierrez, who is a priest. And Leo was there for 20 years. He had a lot of opportunity to identify with all of those social socialist movements that were extant during his time in Peru. You find no traces of that. In fact, there is one book that he wrote an introduction to on Catholic social teaching. It would have been the perfect opportunity to identify with socialism, and he doesn't do it.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I think you have a very different kettle of fish in Pope Leo than you had in Pope Francis. Okay, but the... Don't give him to the left. That's what I'm saying. Don't give Leo to the left. The problem with Pope Leo is the message. Not the messenger, but the message isn't getting out there. It's like a feud with Trump and all this, and that shouldn't be.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Fascinating. Fascinating, Father. Thank you for taking the time. It's great to be with your bill. Say hello to your brother and tell him that if he needs a loan or anything, I'm here to give it to. Well, maybe his brother, the priest, will come to you for that, or a donation even better. My brother, by the way, died four years ago. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:50 He passed. No, no, that's okay. In fact, this week, maybe even today. I think it were fourth, maybe it's tomorrow. The fourth anniversary of his death. Such an indelible actor. They all were. I'm friends with Sharipa, but he has some great stories.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Thanks again, Father. We'll catch up with you again soon, I hope. God bless. I'd like that. Take care. This is the No Spin News Weekend Edition. President Trump was standing up in Turkey for the NATO meeting. this is my favorite quote from the meeting.
Starting point is 00:22:28 There was a lot of love in the room. Okay, I'm a little skeptical about that, but that's what he said. Is it true? That's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. First point. So the president says that the ceasefire with Iran is over. Why?
Starting point is 00:22:52 because Iran violated a central condition of the June memorandum of understanding. For God knows what reason, Iran attacked three commercial vessels over the weekend, July 6th and July 7. The U.S. 5th Naval Base in Bahrain was attacked by Iran. Okay. The Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait, where we have troops, attacked. And a U.S. Reber drone, which Iranian forces shot down. Now, the president's threatening the bomb Iran tonight. Nobody knows what's going to happen because these threats.
Starting point is 00:23:47 come and they go, but this has got to stop. And I don't see any other way, but military to stop it. And I made a mistake with the Iraq situation, and that haunts me to this day. And the reason I made that mistake is that I didn't fully understand the facts of the matter. I was taking reporting for the New York Times and others that said Saddam Hussein was harboring deadly weapons. And I said, if that's true in the press, because the Times hated Bush the younger, and Colin Powell, Secretary of State at the time, confirms it, then I got to go with that. Turned out to be wrong. Dom didn't have any weapons of mass destruction, and the chaos that ensued for a lot of pain on America. I was wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Okay. There's a reason I was wrong, but that still haunts me. In Iran, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see any other way here. I don't see any other way. You're going to have to just blast their infrastructure and make it almost impossible for the Persians to exist day to day. You have to blow up all their facilities, all their power, all of that. Because they're just not.
Starting point is 00:25:10 There's no reason why Iran would attack anybody after. signing this memorandum. They don't want the war to stop. They being the Revolutionary Guard, which controls what happens in Iran. The Mullins don't control that. The paramilitary Revolutionary Guard control. Okay. So I predicted that President Trump would have to do this on June 10th, go. Now, I don't have any inside information, but I believe Iran's going to get hit militarily very soon. President Trump has to re-ignite his momentum, and the Mollosur just not cooperating, and I don't think it will cooperate until the pain level gets very, very high. All right, so there's my prediction, and I'm sticking to it. The other
Starting point is 00:26:13 big thing, there were two other big things at the NATO conference, which Trump didn't want to go to, by the way. But he went, because of Aragon, the president of Turkey's helped him out. Okay? And he went over. The other two were congratulating NATO on finally, finally, paying their dues as far as military expenditures are concerned. Finally, remember, if you know anything about World War II, we rebuilt Europe, the Marshall Plan. And all we've gotten from them is scorn laziness and corruption. That's the truth. So anyway, Trump gave them their props, but the NATO people are more interested in Ukraine than they are in Iran.
Starting point is 00:27:13 So the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rucci, said this, go. You have a very good relationship with President Trump. You've been credited as sort of being the Trump whisperer on behalf of this alliance. You're shaking your head. The point is this, I just like the man. I think what he is doing for NATO is
Starting point is 00:27:33 great news. Because yes, the Russian threat, there is Ukraine, so we had to step up in Europe anyway. But he was what was necessary to bring this extra impetus to the debate, to really get all these nations on the famous old 2% and now to agree to the 5%. And as I said yesterday in the pre-conference presser, Canada and Europeans are now already at
Starting point is 00:27:55 almost 4% when that comes to defense spending. So in one year, on this trajectory to 5% in 2035, we reached the 4% in 2026. Well, that makes sense, right? I mean, if Putin's a threat, and he is, that you have to have enough money to buy munitions, and President Trump was touting that they'll all be sold by the USA to NATO. Okay, and the other thing is that Spain is the NATO country who will not cooperate.
Starting point is 00:28:29 So Trump said this, and I don't know whether he'll, carry through on it or not, that he's going to ban all trade with Spain. That includes going there. So if you're an American and you want to travel to Spain, you might have some visa problems there. Just a forewarning, because I know somebody would plan to trip to Spain. And I'm going, that's a 50-50 now. So if the President of the United States puts a ban on travel to Spain and you go, you might now be coming back anytime soon. And Spain isn't paying its dues
Starting point is 00:29:08 and is obnoxious and wouldn't let U.S. planes refuel on a surf. That's of course the Maloney thing in Italy. And Maloney handled it poorly, so did Trump. They both did. Maloney, you should apologize. We made a mistake.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And now we're going to help you no matter how. That's how you solve this kind of thing. and Trump would have forgiven her. This spring, denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg, a new fit that moves with you. It's everything you want denim to feel like for summer.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Easy, breathable, and effortlessly cool. With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming. Plus, that signature, wait, for this price, moment. Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg. Okay. Okay. So the other headlines from this meeting, and Trump's on his way back now to the USA, is that for the first time, the president is going to help Zelensky in Ukraine with heavy weapons. One of the things I think we're going to be talking about today, I just, a little birdie told me this, about the fact that we're going to be talking about the fact that we're going to be talking about.
Starting point is 00:30:32 will give them the right to make patriots. We'll show them how to do it. It's very complex, actually. But you'll figure out the complexity quickly. Okay. And then the final thing was a mistake. He brings up Greenland again, the president does. We take the win.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Take the win. Greenland we can deal with later. It is important, and it should be discussed. but I am 100% sure that the United States can make a deal with Denmark, which, of course, administers to that place. But why do that now? NATO doesn't like you anyway, but they kind of lean in our way in our direction. Leave Greenland a couple of weeks down.
Starting point is 00:31:24 My opinion, if I'm White House chief of staff, and of course Trump's going to listen to me. but that's that. And that's the memo. You're listening to the No Spine News Weekend Edition. New York City, ma'am, Donnie. So the Success Academy Charter School, 60 schools all over the country,
Starting point is 00:31:51 and they chronicle how the students, not only in the charter schools, but all over the city, 410,000 public school students, 43% of them go to failing schools, 43%. Okay, the report says that roughly 35% of all New York City students were chronically absent in a 23-24 school year. That's on the parents.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Parents don't make them go to school and they run around, they don't go in. So, of course, they're going to be idiots. Of course, they're not going to know anything. All right. Now, what does the city do? Zero. Nothing. Okay, because they're victims.
Starting point is 00:32:38 You've got to understand. To Mondani, these kids are victims. They don't have to learn anything. In fact, he doesn't want him to learn anything because then they figure him out. But they're victims. You don't have to go to school. This is unbelievable. So these kids, grades three to eight,
Starting point is 00:32:56 are adrift. They're not showing up. There are kids now in public schools who refuse to take exams. It's not taking them. And then they promote them. Social promotion. The city does.
Starting point is 00:33:15 So you can see, you know, my point is that most Americans know nothing or very little about their own country as getting worse. The joining is now. of Indiana, who's Alvin Louis. He is a national president of courage as a habit. So that's an organization that equips parents to at least deal with the collapse of the public school system in America. Not everywhere. I mean, there's some very fine public schools, but a lot of
Starting point is 00:33:51 places like the big urban areas. All right, Mr. Louis, thanks for helping us out here. And I have a book coming out September 15 called Confronting America, where I'm simpatico with you. So I'm saying, look, derelict parents, parents who don't give a hoot about their kids, combined with ideological teachers, teachers' unions, okay, who are shoving down, you're a victim, you're a victim, you don't have to take attention, you don't even have to show up.
Starting point is 00:34:21 That combination is almost lethal to the future of the country, what say you. It absolutely is. It's a personal honor to meet you, sir. Thank you for having me on. Sure. You're absolutely correct. As my co-founder often would say, that education in the United States is the greatest national security that we face.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Because you see, a lot of parents still believe we start with the wrong premise. A lot of parents and a lot of Americans still believe that government K-12 is about academics, meaning your basic reading, writing, math. And so when you see students marching to protect violent illegal aliens like we do that we did earlier in 2006, what do people say, Bill? I can't believe it. Why are they doing this? Why aren't they in class? Why are they marching to protect violent illegal aliens?
Starting point is 00:35:12 Well, our response is they're marching to protect violent illegal aliens because they were in class. Because the purpose of government K-12 is to create social justice activists. It is to create angry young people. And as you often say, you just said it yesterday in your bonus video where you say that the Mandami and the socialist, Democrat socialist is to kill hope. Well, they don't have to kill hope because they kill them in K through 12 because they're telling kids that your skin color matters and there's genocide for trans people and all those different things.
Starting point is 00:35:45 And so you're not telling them at 25. You're telling them at 5. And so when they get older in voting age, socialism sounds great. because they have no hope. They're angry. They believe that the America's racist and oppressive. And so that combination, like you said, is very lethal because what you're doing is this is not an intellectual brainwashing bill.
Starting point is 00:36:03 This is an emotional discipleship. They're not training kids in the academics. There's no offshoot to it. So you can't go home to dad and mom and dad and mom go hold it. You know, this isn't really the way it is because it's a combination. Now, do you believe that the teachers, across the United States. I mean, you've got some in the union, you got some not.
Starting point is 00:36:29 How pervasive is the victimization they're trying to sell the public school students? You don't get this in private school. I went to Catholic school. You don't get, you're a victim, you're never going to succeed. That doesn't exist, okay? But in a public school, it exists.
Starting point is 00:36:47 How pervasive is that point of view and how did it get that way? Well, actually, today, it is in a lot of the private schools as well. So you are not safe at all. We've actually done a lot of projects for private schools, both in Texas and Florida, and we found it equally as it was in the public schools. The pervasiveness is systemic. It's not in some school.
Starting point is 00:37:10 It's in all school. It's the system. Whether you're talking about the teachers' unions, the teachers' colleges, and even more underlining that people don't see undercover is the mental health. anytime you hear mental health, that is the big Trojan horse to bring all these things into schools. And the schools spend hundreds of millions of dollars on mental health. So it's absolutely pervasive.
Starting point is 00:37:33 It's systemic. It is the entire purpose of the system. So when you see these children marching against illegal aliens, when you see these children being so broken talking about, you know, tax to rich and all those different things, climate changes them, when you see that, that is the purpose of it. And so when people are shocked and going, how come the academics are down? How come our budget is sky high? What are they doing with the money?
Starting point is 00:37:58 Well, that's what they're doing with the money. They're teaching your children to hate America. And my favorite quote from Abraham Lincoln is, the philosophy of the schoolhouse in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. And so when President Trump talked about it, you know, at NATO when he says that it's more dangerous than let's say Pearl Harbor, World War II, World War I,
Starting point is 00:38:18 he's absolutely right because those are physical attacks. Those are attacks that you can see and you can beat. What we're seeing in government K-12 today, Bill, is actually in the heart and in the mind, and you can't see it until it's too late because they're not brainwashing children in terms of intellectually, but they're changing their values. And it's like a religion. And once you change a child's values, it's very, very difficult to get them out even when you show them facts. I was a high school teacher.
Starting point is 00:38:43 You may know that for a couple of years. And, of course, it was a different world back then. But most of the teachers at the Catholic school that I taught in weren't radical left. They weren't anything. They didn't bring that in. They just taught their discipline and then they went home. So I'm wondering from a historical basis how the teachers' industry. And these people sacrifice.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Teachers could make more money doing something else in the private sector. most of them could. Okay, but they choose to try to do some good, I think, in helping kids in the classroom. But now it's like a tsunami. It's like every time you look around, whether it's Harvard or Princeton or Columbia or this college or that college
Starting point is 00:39:36 is full of these progressives who are teaching victimization. How did that happen? Well, there was really two major areas. When it came to government K through 12, it really started in the Obama administration when he changed the way the competencies were measured. Before you were measuring math and science and your core competencies. But during his administration, he weaponized the department education to measure emotions. And how do you measure emotions? You got to take surveys.
Starting point is 00:40:08 And that's when social emotional learning came into schools. Not to say that before the Obama administration that there wasn't this kind of indoctrination happening. it was, but his administration put grant money on the strings on the grant money. And so that's what made it so pervasive so that even in the red county, in a red state, you're going to see the exact same critical race theory and queer theory. So that's how it got into the K through 12. As far as colleges goes. Was there a litmus test, though, that the Obama administration put out to get the grant money,
Starting point is 00:40:41 you know, in a stealth way that, hey, unless you tow the liberal line, you're not going to get any funds, was, did that happen? No, it's a lot, it's a lot more sneaky than that, and we hear it all the time today. It's always dangling poor kids, black kids, brown kids in front of you, and it's always about helping those kids. And it's always emotional blackmail, kindness, inclusion, welcoming schools, social emotional learning. Those things sound great.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And if you're a teacher, if you're an educator, not the woke educator, but just just a good educator, those things kind of tug at your heartstrings. It really, really does, and it still does today. And so a lot of that came in through that Be Kind, anti-bullying. It's not the anti-bullying that we classically know going to school because that was just about not shoving a kid in the locker room and not making fun of their shoes. Today, if you're a girl that don't want a boy in a locker room or your bathrooms or your showers, you're the bully. And so they've done something what we call it, courage as a habit. We call it language contamination. And this is real easy for us to teach it. Language contamination is when they use your vocabulary,
Starting point is 00:41:50 but not your dictionary. And so when the Obama administration came in, they didn't come in and say, hey, we're going to go ahead and survey your kids and manipulate the data so we can shove in socialism and communism and teach your kids to hate America. Of course, they didn't show it that way. They said, we just want to help kids learn because if their mental health isn't good, then they can't learn. It sounds great. I got it. Obviously, mental health means something very different to them. Well, Mr. Louis, very good. I learned a bunch and during this interview about the overall evolution of this, which I believe, you know, when you combine with the parents who don't give a hoot, it's really devastating. It's hard to come back from that,
Starting point is 00:42:31 particularly if you go through the system and the system gets more and more radicalized as you get older. Very hard to come back from it. We appreciate it. We appreciate it. very much. We'll talk soon. Thanks for helping us out. This is the NoSpin News Weekend Edition. All right, final thought of the day.
