>> Tucker: SO, THE iPHONE IS
OBVIOUSLY REARRANGING OUR BRAINS
AND MAKING US COMPLIANT, DUMB,
AND DESTROYING OUR ATTENTION
SPAN.
BUT THERE IS AN UPSIDE.
THEY HAVE VIDEO, SO A LOT OF
PARENTS ALL OF A SUDDEN KNOW FOR
CERTAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
THEIR KIDS’ CLASSROOMS.
THIS IS ACTUAL FOOTAGE FROM
SOMEONE CALLED LEAH, A CHEMISTRY
TEACHER IN THE ALPINE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IN THE STATE OF UTAH. WATCH.
>> Tucker: WELL, SHE SEEN IT
SHE SEEMS LIKE A HAPPY,
WELL-BALANCED PERSON.
I WONDER WHAT HER PERSONAL LIFE
IS LIKE.
COULD YOU IMAGINE?
SHE IS APPARENTLY NO LONGER
EMPLOYED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
IN UTAH.
JESSE WATTERS IS THE AUTHOR OF
THE GREAT BOOK "HOW I SAVE THE
WORLD," WHICH HE DID, HE JOINS
US TO ASSESS.
JESSIE, YOU GREW UP IN A SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT?
OUR TEACHERS WORSE THAN THEY
WERE OR ARE WE JUST ABLE TO
RECORD IT?
>> I’M MOSTLY UPSET WITH HER
SYNTAX, TUCKER.
I MEAN, I DON’T EXPECT HER TO
SPEAK LIKE PIERS MORGAN, BUT SHE
SOUNDS LIKE SHE JUST GOT PULLED
OVER DURING AN EPISODE OF COPS.
"Y’ALL?"
>> Tucker: THE SHIRTLESS MAN
NEXT TO HER.
>> TUCKER, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
SING IN THE SHOWER OR YOU DANCE
IN THE DARK?
YOU ARE AT YOUR FREEST, YOUR
TRUEST SELF, BECAUSE YOU DON’T
THINK ANYONE IS WATCHING.
AND THIS IS THIS WOMAN, AND THIS
IS MANY TEACHERS, HUNDREDS IF
NOT THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS
BELIEVE NO ONE IS WATCHING.
SO THEY DOMINATE THIS SPACE.
THESE KIDS ARE AT THE VERY
TENDER AGE -- THE TEACHERS ARE
KINGS, QUEENS, THERE IS NO
TRANSPARENCY.
THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND YOU CAN TELL BY THE WAY SHE
SAUNTERS AROUND AND SLINGS THE
PROPAGANDA THAT SHE HAS BEEN
DOING THIS HER ENTIRE CAREER.
AND THE ONLY REASON SHE GOT
CHECKED WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A
CAMERA.
BUT I’VE GOT TO TELL YOU, SHE’S
NOT GOING TO GET FIRED.
YOU CAN’T FIRE TEACHERS.
IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
THE UNIONS WILL SWOOP IN, THEY
WILL FILE A SUIT, AND SHE WILL
COLLECT HER PAYCHECK, HER
PENSION.
YOU CAN GO INTO A CLASSROOM,
DRUNK, KISS A STUDENT, SLAP A
KID, THEY WILL SEND YOU INTO A
RUBBER ROOM AT THE VERY MOST.
>> Tucker: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
CAN DO IS DO A SERIES OF
HOUR-LONG SPECIALS OF CAMERA
PHONE VIDEO OF LUNATIC TEACHERS,
AND I HOPE THAT KIDS ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY WILL RECORD EVERY SECOND
OF EVERY CLASS AND SEND US THE
HIGHLIGHTS.
YOU’VE GOT KIDS.
YOU DON’T HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR KIDS
CLASSROOM?
THEY SHOULD HAVE CAMERAS, THEY
SHOULD HAVE SURVEILLANCE
CAMERAS -- THE REST OF US ARE
BEING SURVEILLED.
I WALKED DOWN THE STREET AND 19
CAMERAS ARE WATCHING ME.
WHAT YOU GOING TO A CLASSROOM
WITH MY CHILDREN AND SOMEHOW YOU
CAN’T BE RECORDED?
NO, NO.
>> I HAVE KIDS IN CATHOLIC
SCHOOL, SO THERE IS NO WAY THE
CATHOLIC TEACHERS ARE DOING
ANYTHING CLOSE TO THIS, BUT
COULD YOU IMAGINE, TUCKER, IF
THIS WAS REVERSED?
AND THIS WAS A CONSERVATIVE
TEACHER THAT WAS SAYING "SCREW
JOE BIDEN, TURN OFF CNN, IF YOU
BELIEVE IN CLIMATE CHANGE, GET
THE HELL OUT OF MY CLASSROOM?"
THAT STORY WOULD HAVE KNOCKED
AFGHANISTAN OFF THE FRONT PAGES.
>> Tucker: YEAH.
AND BY THE WAY, I WOULD HAVE
HATED IT.
>> IT GOES BOTH WAYS.
>> Tucker: STOP IT.
