So the second thing is Race to the Top was they would test students, which takes away time out of the classroom. My wife always told me I'd rather spend that time teaching than testing kids for no reason. And kids hate testing anyway, and they don't test what you think they're testing. So there's all these problems.

The biggest problem is Race to the Top was that they would test students, and the schools that did the best on the test got more money. And that students that the schools that did the worst got less money. Well, it's the opposite. So they were running the Department of Education like you would run a corporation.

They were applying corporation ethics and ideals to education, which is a nonprofit, which that didn't work. It didn't work, right? Schools got worse. So it's the opposite. It's counterintuitive. You would think that the kids who are scoring worse on tests would be the ones who needed more money.

And another bad thing about it, what it did was it incentivized then schools and teachers to cheat on the tests to inflate their scores so that they would get money.

The test taking rather than the education, right? You just what's on the test. Let's make sure they perform well on the test. Don't worry about the education. Just get that test under their under their wing. And by the way, I have to comment about my JFK thing because the people are going crazy in the chat rooms. Go watch the drunk history about JFK. I've done drunk history several times.

They give you historical documents that you review. They are very careful that you should be drawing from well-documented historical documents. And I've seen the JFK stuff.

The reality is the doctor that was shooting him up with opiates after he was dismissed from the White House came out here and started shooting up the likes of Marilyn Monroe and multiple other people who died of drug addiction that he killed. So this guy, they called him Dr. Feelgood out here. But people are going, but Bob Kennedy, JFK had back pain. Back pain is a symptom of opiate addiction.

When people get on opiates, withdrawal causes severe back pain and severe headache. It's part of the opiate addiction syndrome. And that's what has them now pursuing the opiates. And they take enough, their adrenals shut down, their testes shut down. People end up giving them hormones. Because of the opiates, it's a whole freaking mess.

But in this case with JFK, he ended up getting amphetamines by shot, parenteral amphetamines, and he developed an amphetamine psychosis. Good times. So that's that. Sorry, Jimmy, let's go back to our conversation. You went to the Russiagate thing. Of course, the Pulitzer Prize was given out for Russiagate. And now there is a lawsuit underway, which is hysterical. which I think is hysterical.
