JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): I don't think the Democrats are going to get it together because they have to have standards. You don't have standards in that party. That's why Fetterman's allowed to wear shorts. That is why they let you sleep on the street and inject heroin and no one says anything. The teachers are racist because they see these kids, Hispanics, Blacks, and they're not doing as well as the white kids, and so they think they're not going to ever do as well as the white kids unless we pump up their grades.
Yeah, there's probably challenges at home or challenges in the neighborhood, but you hold a parent-teacher conference and you say, "Billy's failing, and he needs to get his grades up, and you, mom, or you, dad, need to help him get his grades up or he's going to not pass fourth grade." And then the parents are embarrassed and then the parents realize what's going to happen so then the parents get focused. If you don't do that, then you're just going to pass them along and they're all just going to be blithering idiots, and just the same as the teachers. I think the teachers are too stupid and too lazy to buckle down and really go the extra mile for these kids.
