So, I am I am skeptical of the Department of Education and I think every Democrat who runs really needs to take on this issue because that's your portfolio. Education. You've owned it and the results aren't good.
Kids isn't the education standards. Kids isn't learning. Bill Maher is once again slamming the Democrats for destroying the education system.
This Democrat has the nerve to go on Bill Maher's show real time with Bill Maher and claim that the right-wing are the ones with that have the problem that are causing problems within the education system and Bill Maher puts this woke idiot in his place for these ridiculous comments. Let's get into this clip here where Bill Maher goes on or brings on this woke idiot onto his show real time with Bill Maher and puts him in his place. According male voters, how can they win them back?
Well, I did see Nancy Pelosy's comment today after the vote with the brew with Schumer was that they should have listened to the women. Are we going to break down on men women thing now in the Democratic party? I I don't think we should.
I think it's about giving everybody the freedom to chart their own course, the opportunity to succeed, lifting everybody up, not trying to create others, not trying to slice and dice the electorate. I'll tell you the first thing I did, Bill, when that goes right, too. I think it's for everybody.
Absolutely. First thing I did when I was governor, literally after taking the oath of office, I signed my first executive order doing away with the college degree requirement for 92%. I had [cheering] done [applause] on that myself cuz I want people to have a shot.
And then we followed that up by increasing our vote budget in high schools by 50%. And get this, 81 new apprenticeship programs. Everything from dairy herd management to welding.
And we've got 12,400 new Pennians going through apprenticeships. We don't care if you're male, female, black, white, doesn't matter. We want you to have opportunity in Pennsylvania.
We want to lift everybody up. [applause] [applause] But the the question [laughter] was, do Democrats have a problem with male voters? [laughter] But that's going to be the answer no matter all.
Uh, was it inappropriate for the Yeah, I do think it's hilarious how these these Democrats and and Republicans do this too, but Democrats are just masters. you know, Josh Shapiro, Gavin Newsome, these sorts of people are just masters at literally never answering anything. Because if Gavin Newsome, Josh Shapiro, any of these Democrat senators or governors or anybody are forced to answer anything, any hard question from Bill Maher or anyone else, then they will get made to look really stupid and really bad at their jobs.
If Josh Shapiro actually answered the question that Bill Maher posed for him, he would look very bad at his job. Instead, he answers it in a very politician way. And then Dylan Moore, not wanting to make the situation awkward, just laughs it off and says, "Well, that wasn't the question.
" And Josh Shapiro says, "Basically, I know that wasn't the question. I don't want to answer that question because it makes me look bad. " But Democrats are ruining the education system.
And there's not much that Josh Shapiro, Gavin Newsome, or any left-winger is really doing about it. And to be honest, it's not really a focus of the right-wing either right now. You know, we I and I don't think it really should be.
As bad as the education system is, in my opinion, I think that we have a massive problem with the United States doing the bidding of other countries, that one country over in the Middle East, too much, getting involved in too much foreign affairs and not focusing on fixing what's inside of our own country, shoring up the borders, you know, things like that. That the normal things that everybody talked about in the leadup to the last election that the president of the United States said that he was going to focus on and he's not focusing on. But anyway, back to these Democrats and and Bill Maher shutting them down.
Let's check it out. Audience, this is for you, Budget, to to boo JD. Vance at the Kennedy Center last night.
No, with free speech. Okay. Come on.
She didn't even get to answer that. You're right. I'm so sorry.
You're right. I told you. [laughter] What?
You were comfortable watching that? I didn't see it. What happened?
They booed him. They booed him. [laughter] They called him like a series of expletives.
He was with his wife. I thought it was kind of gross. I don't know what you guys thought.
I mean it would be lovely if we didn't live in that country but that ship has sailed and and you know it it happens to the other side too. People have been at dinner and people will surround them and force them to including from the left. I mean we saw that during the Black Lives Matter riots.
People were be having dinner and people you know come on get out there like I'm having dinner. Can you wait? I mean well these were definitely leftists booing the vice president.
[laughter] I understand. Oh no no they're terrible at it. Did you see the uh Love is Blind story?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was bad.
Okay. So, this [laughter] that's I've never seen the show. Have you ever seen the show Love is Blind?
Never. No. Good.
Yeah. Good. If if if you had said yes, you would have lost my vote immediately.
[laughter] But it's some Anyway, so she's at the altar and she she jolts her her fiance at the altar because didn't seem like he did a hell of a lot. He apparently um didn't do enough thinking about Black Lives Matter. He asked him, "What do you think about that?
" Not at the altar. That would be inappropriate, but I guess [laughter] sometime during the courtship and he said, "I don't know. I haven't thought about it that much.
" I mean, I don't want to like get into like the premise of Love is Blind, but they also just met each other like four weeks ago and proposed. You know, there might have been some I do think it's just so hilarious. I see this all the time.
And you know, not to be sexist or anything, but I do think women outsource their thinking quite a bit. I don't think many of them are actually convicted in their beliefs at all. And I think that things such as what Bill Maher just described kind of proves the fact that they don't have any conviction in any of their beliefs because nobody with actual conviction in their beliefs would do something like that.
If you're genuinely convicted in something, you wouldn't leave someone at the altar or, you know, leave someone in general because they disagree with you. That's performative. That's called performative actions.
She wanted to be on Netflix showing that she's an ally. That's why you do something like that. If I'm actually convicted in something, I don't really mind if someone disagrees with me because I know why I believe what I believe.
So, their beliefs don't threaten mine. And especially if I'm in a relationship, I fully believe that no matter what, you know, the girl that I'm with, she's going to eventually believe what I believe because everything that I believe has tons of evidence to back it up. I don't just believe things for no reason.
I don't outsource my thinking. And somebody that does outsource their thinking would leave someone because they disagree because they don't want their beliefs challenged because if they are challenged they're going to realize that they believe a lie. So stuff like that in my opinion is just it just convinces me further that most women are not very convicted in their beliefs because that's a very performative thing to do.
Extenduating circumstances beyond the politics. But that's what that was what you said. I know.
I'm saying it might be a fig leaf. [laughter] Oh, I see. Yeah.
again. They just met each other four weeks ago. I'm saying that you don't care enough about Black Lives Matter.
Clearly, I don't even know you. You have a small dick. Okay.
You need you need to put that uh you need to put that ring on or whatever. What does the panel think of the Trump administration gutting and potentially eliminating the Department of Education? I'm still thinking about it, honestly.
You take this one. [laughter] Here's here's what I care about. I I got kids with special needs.
I've got kids who are coming from poor families who rely on this funding from the federal government to have a shot in life. I said before, I want every child of God to have the freedom to chart their own course, the opportunity to succeed. The federal government made a compact with those kids.
I hope they don't break that compact with those kids. Yeah. I I guess what the question though really is, is the Department of Education doing that?
is that now they probably are doing some good work. I'm sure they are. What is their budget?
Like $200 billion dollars or something. But it also looks like some of these places are just funneling money to people who are not solving the problem. I mean, I saw that story about the 20 billion that went out the door after Biden lost the EPA.
It wasn't the EPA or was it the EPA? So there was $20 billion dollars that they shoveled to groups because Trump was coming and then they were going to reverse all this stuff and the supposedly environmental groups and they were not really environmental groups and they had no experience in doing it. Like I said before, I care about the plastics.
Do they think do I think this money was going to get rid of the plastics in my brain? I do not. So, I am I am skeptical of the Department of Education and I think every Democrat who runs really needs to take on this issue because that's your portfolio.
Education, you've owned it and the results aren't good. Kids isn't the education standards. Kids isn't learning.
Kids are not kids isn't [laughter] learning. That was actually See, Bill Maher's funny sometimes, man. Unintentionally like that.
That was a pretty funny moment. Kids isn't learning. That That's pretty funny.
Um, but yeah, I mean the Democrats are not really doing much for for these. And I think at the end of the day, you know, I think we've kind of come to the conclusion that the Department of Education isn't and wasn't really doing much. And you know, they wouldn't cut the funding for no reason.
And I mean, if you just look at the education system across the US, you can kind of just tell they they weren't doing much and they weren't doing their job. The problem with a lot of these government agencies is they get paid no matter what. They get paid whether or not they do their job.
They get paid whether or not the country does better. There's nobody checking their performance. They're just collecting money, right?
[snorts] And at the end of the day, I think it comes down to the individual states, right, to better their own education systems. You know, the federal government's not going to do it for you. These states need to better their own education systems if they want better education.
Do the Democrats actually care about bettering education? Probably not. Let's see if Josh Shapiro can save this one and and answer actually what Bill Maher just just posed to him because Bill Maher did just cook Democrats and cook Josh Shapiro here.
[laughter] I think [applause] I think through all this I'm sorry. I I will say uh it's clear that our education achievements are not where they need to be, right? like we look at any comparison to any other country, we're just not keeping up.
The question is absent that funding, would it be worse? Right? We don't know.
This money uh if it can get funneled back into the states, I'm assuming there are some Democrats who say good, keep the top lines at where they are and we can use it to our benefits. But this money was also used to set education standards to study how to do better curriculums to uh figure out how to recruit teachers in a in a in a comprehensive, thorough way. And so I don't know every program that they are cutting right now, but the idea that there won't be any adverse consequences seems not logical.
Of course not. Because that's what they do. They blow everything up first.
That's what I don't get about this. This I think they're going about it wrong. First off, I think it's important that we support the American people, not the American institutions.
You are right that there is waste, there is fraud, there is abuse in these institutions. It should be rooted out. It's one of the reasons why when I was a county executive of Pennsylvania's third largest county, we did zerobased budgeting.
We didn't go in with a hatchet. We literally went in and said, "Your budget's zero. Build it up to where it needs to be.
" And you know what happened? Some agencies were reduced. Some agencies got a lot more because it was missiondriven.
I think we've got to focus on meeting the mission, meeting the goals, and then driving the funding out to to meet those goals. [applause] Yeah, he's he's thinking like, "Man, I did such a great job right there. " It's funny how they just can't answer a question.
Like, they always have to be campaigning. Like, we get it, man. You did a great job.
Like, congratulations, bro. Like, like, is that what you want us to say? Like, every time this guy, Josh Shapiro, answer the question that Bill Maher asks, he just basically brags about how great he is and how great he ran the state of Pennsylvania.
It's It's just obnoxious to watch, man. But let me know in the comments what you guys think about Bill Maher going after Democrats and criticizing them for the their lack of of interest in bettering the education system in the United States. Let me know in the comments you guys think about this whole Bill Maher versus Josh Shapiro situation.
