e — it's maybe the biggest problem, maybe the biggest problem in the world, certainly in the United States. But just look. Here's some of the stats. Autism rates in kids are one in 36 nationally compared to one in 1,500 not so long ago. In California it's worse. Autism rates are one in 22. If you have a kid in California, there's a one in 22 chance that the kid will be autistic. One in 22. What?…
← Previous segment →art News is reporting — Warner Todd Huston at Breitbart News — the nearly one in three Chicago school teachers keep their kids out of public schools. Let me just say that again because I don't have to add much commentary to it. One in three public school teachers in Chicago don't send their own children to public school.
Now do you think that one in three school teachers come from a family where they can easily afford private school? I don't know who the spouse is, but I would guess if one third of teachers are sending their kids to private schools, that might represent 100 percent of teachers who can afford it. See, that's not in the statistic. The statistic just says one in three. But once you say how expensive is private school and how much does a teacher make in Chicago, you kind of quickly reach the assumption that 100 percent of the people who can afford to get their kids out of the public schools have already done it. The people who know the most, the teachers, if they can afford it, they pulled their kids right out.
Is there anything else you need to know? Would you like to answer some questions about the teachers unions? Do you see the problem? It's always been the teachers unions. Because if you can't fire a teacher, you can't have good teachers. If you can't have good teachers, you don't have good schools. If you don't have good schools and you can afford it, you're going to send your kid to a good school if you can afford it. It's all here. There's no questions left unanswered by the statistic. This answers all questions. And what it says is there's nobody on the other side of the question. Think about that. There are so many things in this world where people could be on both sides reasonably. Even the people who know the most, the teachers, are on the same side as you are, which is, huh, this system look

s totally broken. You better keep your kid out of it. Wow. Well, as you know, Kamala Harris has proposed a government $25,000 for first-time home buyers to help them buy a house. I saw Mark Cuban is doing some persuading on this, showing it's a good idea. And when I looked at his analysis, all I could conclude is that ordinary people should not be allowed to do economic analysis. Now Mark Cuban i…
