just wrote it.

And I think, based on I'm I'm like looking at the YouTube channel from the spillover so she started talking about like the transgender craze seducing our daughters and the most divisive topic on the internet pro-life answers blah blah blah like and I think that was all happening at the same time that there was growing skepticism because of dis and misinformation around the COVID vaccine and Right.
15:07
Mm-hmm.
15:37
And then when Trump sort of adopted him, when he wasn't going to run in the Democratic, when there wasn't going to be a Democratic primary, like she was very instrumental in developing the Make America Healthy Again, like brand.
15:51
Like she worked very closely, I think, with the RFK Jr. campaign and Trump and Turning Point and like the conservative media apparatus to like brand all of that

safe, that it is even possible to create an even relatively equal substance in your own kitchen? Like anyway, the baby for me thing makes me insane.
22:55
Yeah.
22:55
So I fully crashed out about it.

She says the replacement for the independent learning materials are nothing like the old ones.
48:15
Recently they stated that the curriculum support materials will be a replacement for the independent learning materials and I really reject that.
48:23
I think that's an incredibly misleading state of affairs.
48:26
They have made the curriculum support materials look very similar visually to an independent learning material.
48:33
They are not the curriculum itself.

So you're holding some of the materials here, Ellen?
48:38
I am.
48:38
So I've got the English curriculum support materials, which the department states are not created for every lesson, in every sequence, in every unit.

Yeah
21:01
... that happened in one day.
21:03
And I don't think people realize that it can take weeks, and there are weeks in which you might not know yet, and you're still hoping.
21:16
And then there might be weeks where you do know, but it hasn't happened yet.
21:20
And, you know, you, you go to hospital and you're in the maternity ward going past the same rooms where the best day of your life happened months ago, and where the best day of the lives of those women you catch glimpses of in the beds as you get wheeled past in your own wheelie bed are happening, and you're having the worst day of your life.
21:50
And then you go home, and it's been weeks, so you've got to get along with life.
21:56
You've got to get up and go to work or be at home and manage things at home while your husband goes to work.
