  1. I argue that we should pay teachers based on both needs and quality. If a teacher is willing to work at a low income school or teach special ed. or math, subjects with low supply of teachers, than they should be paid more. If a teacher wants to teach history at a school in a richer district than they should be paid less. Increase the incentive to actually teach our kids. An idea of public education is to help out the less fortunate. Kids from rich neighborhoods are going to be well off with or without a strong K-12 education. Low income students are more dependent on a K-12 education. Giving the incentive for better teachers to go there would improve our schools. But since public education is a government run program it won't establish that.

  2. He is more of a comedian. I do not listen to him that much as he does more joking than have serious talk, but he does have decent points.

  3. People here view Kyle as an intellectual. You do not find that to be a problem?

  4. " I don't know if Kyle is an intellectual. He definitely has a lot of wisdom, which is much more valuable than raw intelligence." I disagree as I have debunked most of what he says and pointed out where he flat out lied. Recently he was talking about the government shutdown saying republicans can avoid it as they control everything and can pass what they want when in reality you need 60 votes in the Senate. He talks political issues for a living, he should know that. " All Ben Shapiro knows how to do is shit on trans people and other minorities because they're easy targets. " How? Do you have examples. "He knows fuck all about anything policy related, he doesn't even know anything about the few subjects that he thinks he's well versed in." Again, do you have examples? I just gave one about Kyle. I can give many more. For example, he did a story about a man in CA that shot a school. He claimed that man was a felon (true) and legally owned his guns (not true). Kyle was incorrect on his statements when many sources said the man did not legally own his guns. What examples do you have for Shapiro?

  5. "Well, let's consider the fact that, in general, leftists are more open to listening to the other side. " Eh, I question that. Look at the channels. Kyle and TYT have no desire to listen to the other side. Kyle won't even debate anyone.

  6. The issue with Kyle that he is so far left that far leftist ideas are moderate to him. The irony in this video is that he says that labels mean nothing unless described so he denounces this poll. He than points to Medicare for all polls saying that the the people want it. But if you were to poll on medicare for all while giving more details, such as cost, tax rates, how the law will ban private insurance, etc., than support will drop. Kyle and his fan base are so far gone it is pathetic. Kyle has yet to address AOC's Green New Deal mess.

  7. The problem with the message is the word "reasonable". That is subjective and to some "reasonable" is a gun ban.

  8.  Derek Hitt  same with everything else like racism. The left just throws out one liners and talking points. They have no actual arguments.

  9. It isn't kidnapping, they broke the law. I guess I was "kidnapped" when I was taken by cops for a DUI. This man presented a question that can be perceived a threatening. He is talking about kidnapping a politician's daughter.

  10. Beyond Fables, to start there is no clear definition of a "assault rifle". Having a hand grip, which actually makes the gun safer, can make a gun a "assault rifle". Next, many people own guns for sport, why take that away from them? What is the use of drinking alcohol? Many get drunk, drive, kill, beat people, etc. What good comes from alcohol? To me it is relaxing. To some shooting is relaxing. Finally, gun ownership is a fundamental right to control the government. While the chances are low we will have to fight tyranny, the option should always exist. It is why we still have nukes, other countries have it so we should always have it just in case.

  11. There are two reasons for it. One, they can potentially be sued. And two, something like this occurred at a ball park in my city. They gave out food to the homeless after games. They stopped because after games they would gather in large crowds and were violent and a threat to others.

  12. Yep, ignore the influence of demand and limited supplies. It isn't that easy bud. Kyle and his fans are economic illiterates.

  13.  No Ma'am  true. Race has nothing to do with it

  14. Trump won because of his stance on immigration.

  15. "Yet you didn't mention that Bernie was cheated by DNc" If Bernie was so popular and Clinton was so unpopular he still should have won.

  16. They interrupted both guys here.

  17.  @johnhuys3507  , exactly. I love how Kyle asks the question of how much money the rich have in the US but does not give an actual number. It is all feelings for far leftists.
    4
  18.  @beime26  it is about southern pride. Consider many people who immigrate here to the US, become citizens, and still wave the flags from their nations? Same concept.

  19. Uh, they don't. The top 10% earn 40% of the income.

  20.  @lyni50  Trump had no reason to be president, but he decided to run. Look at democrat ran states, they have some of the highest death counts with covid and have the riots. Fact is the left are full of "leaders" who can't lead and simply want power and a paycheck. Trump became a threat to them as he exposed them. They hate it thus they are doing as much as they can to try to beat him. That includes making the average person's life miserable.

  21.  @Van420Dal  I am getting my PhD in physical chemistry. So I am guarantee a job. Don't pursue worthless degrees like art. Debt does drive our economy more than you think. Look up the inverted pyramid. Debt actually grows our economy in many ways.

  23. Garner was nearly 400 pounds, had asthma and diabetes and an oversized heart. A St. Louis doctor said a bear hug would have caused him to die.

  24. Who in the hell is Zero Brooks? Also, why would he debate nobodies like Kyle?
    4
  25. @Bobert No her job is essential as her, and her workers, need it to earn money. I guess we can have an communist like nation decide what jobs are necessary and what jobs aren't. Is that what you want? And how is her salon spreading more death? A lot suggest that virus is not that deadly. You know what spreads more deaths? Having infected people go back to nursing homes.

  26.  @Menace__  , it wasn't racist.

  27. The "Second Bill of Rights" is expansion of the powers of the government so they can become further corrupt. The first Bill of Rights was to limit government.

  28. Ishmael, it is just pure ignorance along with their firmly held religious like belief in their ideas. Just trying to correct people in that healthcare is not a right angers them. It isn't a right. Pursuing it is, but you don't have a right to healthcare. That doesn't mean the government can't provide or pay for it, it just means it isn't a right.

  29. cace26, with how inefficient government is with money I rather give it to charity.
    4
  30.  @krazykris9396  , in this entire healthcare discussion Kyle continues to leave a lot of information out. This is why you should not take him serious.
    4
  31.  @krazykris9396  , but you don't dismiss Kyle for not providing that information? I am dismissing Kyle's point due to his lack of evidence. Why do you have double standards?

  32. @WeAreIt , are they "suffering" from student debt? I have student debt and I am not suffering. I took it out knowing I will have to pay it back. I took it out because, in the end, I fully understand college is an investment I make to earn much more in the long run.
    4
  33.  @Fuzbo_  , true. Also, Warren's response is typical of the far left. She told the guy to "fuck off". The left has no desire to actually consider other people in their ideas. They only care about the "victims" they create. And this is why Trump is president. People are sick of the political left not listening to them.
    4
  34.  @RydarGames  "how is it progressive is to pay off the debts of some people and give the middle finger to people who paid their debts" Because far leftists like Kyle and his fans will say that guy is privileged and should just shut up and pay up. This is why the far left is so dangerous. They create "victims", such as people with loans, and then ignore everyone else. And they wonder why their side keeps losing and why Trump is president. When people like Warren, Bernie and other far leftists continue to ignore them people will run towards Trump.

  35. Exactly, or the war in the Middle East.

  36. This guy is correct. The political left is extreme right now. They want to tax from the rich and give to those who hardly work. And they do so on the message of "fair" and "decency". Also, the polls have not been reliable. They are opinions, and just because the majority wants something does not mean we should to it. If polls said that slavery should be legal, should we do it? Even at that, 60% support medicare for all, but 80% in Colorado said no. Fact is that the economy is doing well. If Democrats tried to push their policies to win elections people will question them and vote against them.

  37. Fire and police are nowhere near as complex as healthcare.

  38. " It's not really that asinine when you think about it. The republicans are actively pushing agendas that will decimate the planet for our posterity(climate change denial, nuclear proliferation). " They do not deny climate change. They feel this 1. They question how much is man playing a role, which is a great question 2.They question if it is even bad, which is also a great question. Remember, the ecosystem does evolve. 3. They feel the government is not the source to solve this issue, scientists are " You say you're a scientist ( I somehow don't believe you) thats fine and all just know that 99% of the scientific community disagrees with your assesment on global warming." That 99% stat has been both debunked and presented improperly numerous times. What I listed above is the actual science. There is a reason why you are not having scientists in congress making radical statements like Noam Chomsky and Bernie Sanders are. If you understand science you will understand how little we know. We do not even know the physics behind photosynthesis. What makes you think we can make strong conclusion about climate change and the evolution of the ecosystem? "You seem to have a really black and white surface level analysis of things." Actually it is the exact opposite. You are siding with the crowd of "climate change is bad and we must do something" where I am with the scientists of "there is a lot of doubt, and we need more research before we make radical decisions that will harm our economy". "Also, what did you find mediocre about manufacturing consent, care to tell me any specific parts of the book you found mundane?" It repeated itself over and over again. You can make the point in around 100 pages. "Dont kid yourselves people, its idiotic to even try and compare Chomsky to Shapiro, its a disgrace tbh." Why not? They both have doctorates. They both have written books. They are both intelligent and intellectuals. Just because you disagree with Shapiro does not mean he is not on the same level as Chomsky. I disagree with a lot of people but view them as intelligent. I disagree with Robert Reich but I view him as intelligent. I just feel that politics has poisoned his great mind. I disagree with Richard Dawkins but view him as a great mind. I feel his push of atheism and his unjustified hatred towards religion and god believers ruined him. I still view him as an intellectual though. "Chomsky is a national treasure, Ben shapiro is some dweeb who debates culture wars with college kids." You can believe that if you want. I feel projection here. Intellectuals disagree all the time. How you disagree is key.

  39. Also, do you really feel Republicans are as bad as the Nazis were, or as ISIS, or as Soviet Russia?

  40.  @hz0gzq , what makes you think Ann agreed to a debate to begin with?
    4
  41.  @SomaticDust  , many didn't. They just deflected and made excuses. One was they say Obama praised Cuba, that is deflection. Another is them saying that Castro was a bad man, but he had a great literacy program. They don't realize that literacy program was essentially learn to read or die. Also, think of what Kyle said. Kyle said that Bernie just wants to give us healthcare and an education. Bernie said that Castro gave his citizens healthcare and an education. So how can I see the difference between Bernie and Castro based on what Kyle said?

  42. He said that to get Sanders promoted. Sanders is the easiest candidate to face as the nation will never vote for a communist.

  43. Kyle is full of BS. He, for years, refused to debate Shapiro for asinine reasons and has no argument against him. The piece on the Iraq war Kyle clearly did not read because, like always, Kyle only reads headlines and not actual articles. I can see why Shapiro did not respond, Kyle has no desire to actually have a discussion on the issues. He just wants to post headlines to cater to his ignorant base.

  44. What pandemic? Deaths are down. The recovery rate continues to grow. Also, nothing is free.

  45. A four year old died in a hot tub in my state recently. I guess we should ban those.

  46. This ruling is going after those who are violent, which you and I should both oppose.

  47.  @zachthamm9595  I disagree with you on Trump voters as I am one myself. I can easily argue those that opposed him have been brainwashed by the media and have TDS. But I will not get into that. I will say my distrust is based on 1. How many government officials, mainly democrats, enforced these rules but did not follow them themselves. Such as Newsom, or Lightfoot getting a hair cut, or Pelosi getting a hair cut, or Steve Adler telling people not to travel but saying it from his time share home in Mexico, or recently how Mayor deBlasio told us peasants not to visit Time Square on NYE so him, his wife and some friends can enjoy it without us. 2. How much the narrative change from going to deaths, to only cases, to it was only supposed to last 2 weeks, now the vaccine is going slow so we have to wait longer to now a new strain is out 3. How many experts were censored but ones like Fauci weren't. He has been fear mongering the entire time, but when asked about Biden he was cheering on Biden's plan and saying under him things will get better which is a pure political stance he took There are more but those are three main ones. We have been liked to by the elites in our society and while average people like me suffer, the elites enjoy their lives.

  48. Darth, those countries do not practice socialism.

  49.  @MF-rw3rb  You are right in that no matter what Trump does the media will attack him. While I do not know the full story, maybe a $2000 check bill is coming, but there is also the Georgia run off election coming and republicans have to look good. Trump did want a spending cut with an increase in checks, but politicians are playing games with us.

  50. "They are much better than the US. " Based on what? To start, you are comparing countries with much different sizes and completely different cultures. To give a small example, no country has a NCAA like program attached to their colleges. How do you account for that when you push for "free college"? "Also, a lot of people seem to forget that the U.S. used to have 70%+ tax rates in the 70's" Which very few pay. "You can also see that under democrats there is a significantly higher GDP growth % than under republicans who want tax cuts." Here are some factors 1. Under Clinton we had a republican congress, now who controls the purse? 2. Following WWII every other nation was rebuilding while the US wasn't giving us an advantage economically, so no matter who was in office we would have been fine. Under Eisenhower we were great with over 7% growth twice. That followed Truman where he did it once in that time. Never happened under Kennedy or LBJ though. In 1967 there were 155 Americans who earned over $200,000 at that time who paid $0 in federal taxes. That was under LBJ. Seems like a tax cut for the rich did well.
