005today and i think we're all being lied to on many many different topics and this one about mask is no different we're all being lied to and deceived and these kids experience the ultimate expression of bmw when you combine 100 years of precision bmw engineering with the performance of mpower the 7 series is cemented as one of the preeminent luxury sedans on the market with the finest of details and peerless craftsmanship experience the ultimate expressions of bmw at your local bmw center it's just evil it's just wrong and it's not truthful you guys have plenty of documentation there's a whole bunch of documentation out there that show you that these masks are no good and plus you know for your environmentalists you know at this point you're polluting the planet even more so you know
006you think you're doing good on one hand and on the other hand you're doing bad so at this point i hope that you would actually consider what i'm saying to you tonight about accepting jesus christ as your savior because i'm telling you this this is the tip of the iceberg of what's to come i mean the very very from here on out it's gonna get a lot less uh aubry friedman i live in bridgewater granddaughters ages seven and four or four and it's uh sorry comment is about masks again but i'll any parent that wants their kids to wear the mask they can do it nobody's stopping them and by all means they should do it if they feel that it keeps their kids and other kids safe that's fine and in fact i i
007know somebody who works at the bridgewater hebron school and she herself is now the masked [Music] or wearing it under their chin you gotta you know put it back on properly so that's how it should be she's honoring the wishes of the parents and not just what bureaucrats say that can be done and mandate um think the uh burden should be on those who are supporting the mandate for the masking they want better proof of data and when i hear things like it's good overall and not to also consider the downsides to it which we've talked about before the breathing dirty mask i can't see the facial expression all the stuff that's been talked about before so the burden should be to prove that there's actually a benefit to it okay now let's talk a
008little bit about what goes on in europe it's completely different attitude there and they haven't been shy about safety i mean they had lockdowns and mandates and everything in the uk no mandates for kids in schools wearing the map only if they're 14 or older norway they don't even advise matthews good job [Applause] let's talk about transmission a little bit it's mostly occurring from staff to staff then the next biggest group is student to staff and the smallest group is student to student so um so if there should be a mandate maybe it should be the staff and the teachers should be wearing the mask but why put it on the kids everybody it's like the flu and actually kids are catching it more at home so i want to read just a little uh
009somebody who's changed her mind i'm okay on minutes she's actually the director of the emergency medical management of boston medical center so i think we should respect her this is what she had this is a quote it's a very short one here a year ago i said [Music] hyena versus tiger [Music] and without any clear upside i'm not aware of any studies that show conclusively that kids wearing masks in schools have any effect on their own morbidity or mortality or on the hospitalization or death rate in the community around them and my last point is if you're really concerned about safety maybe you should do something about the parking situation at the high school because i know a bus driver who drives for the school district he says when the kids get released you know
010in the middle of the day he said it's a zoo there there are no lines marked and the buses are coming the kids are walking all over the place on the road and it's actually dangerous i guess nothing's been done so really a real safety issue hi my name is madison lawson i'm from bristol i'm speaking as a parent of two elementary age children concerned about mandated medical devices in public schools mass were designed to be used in controlled medical facilities and by trained medical professionals there are extreme dangers in misusing mnc when we send our children to school we put in trust which isn't stopping to take care of our children i don't think anyone else is staff's job environment for them to learn their teachers are not medically trained professionals how are we
011expected to monitor safe mass usage children never touch their mask with unsanitized hands what are you doing in place to monitor children during mass break and to make sure their masks never touch unsanitized surfaces what are you doing in the toilet teachers to check if masks are moist throughout the day our teacher and staff communicating with the students to make them feel safe and comfortable to speak up if they feel lightheaded or short of breath if you're ripping our rights to choose whether to massacre what are you doing and it is your responsibility i'm gonna need you to not take my food mooch no we're qualified to enforce safe medical device practices and assume all responsibility for short and long-term adverse effects for mass following information is cited from the children healthdefense.org and the who
012website children adolescents usually only take masks off when they notice that they can hardly breathe a fatigue of respiratory musculature usually goes unnoticed also due to the moral pressure exerted by social mechanisms children and adolescents rarely take off the mass despite feeling unwell many cases have been documented where children have been told that they might be responsible for the death of another person if they do not put their mask on some teachers being persons of authority insist on wearing masks despite children's complaints about typical symptoms including headaches and nausea psychological pressure which is legally constitutes coercion consciously [Laughter] children aged five years and under should not require to be required to wear a mask this is based on safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity oh my god i know [Music] [Laughter]
013as well as laundering and replacing with mass mid-day in certain settings such as school and child care services adequate adult supervision and instructions to the child on how to put on and take off on learning safely psychosocial development [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria although the test is capable of detecting viruses such as sars only one virus was found in the mass herpes virus one half of the mass were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria one-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis causing bacteria and one-third were contaminated with dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens the masks studied were new or freshly laundered before wearing and had only been worn for five to eight hours most during in-person learning by children age six to eleven
014one was worn by adults a t-shirt was tested as a control no pathogens were found for improper mass usage it is inevitable the liability of our children getting sick from bacterial infections caused by contaminated or damp mask is great and i hope that you all don't take it lightly please hear our concerns and allow parents to be responsible for making these serious decisions for our family on top of all that [Music] immediately if the mass mandate stays in place thank you [Applause] for 14 years and i've always lived in this area so i sent an email with this information to everyone i hope you get a response only from one person so i'm not gonna bore you for the audience with all the information but it does have to do he's a senior scientist engineer
015he has testified in all kinds of different places and he says that the science shows 19 virus particles less than one micron which is come over here eli watch lily [Music] in the stirrup my name is aaron edwards i am a resident in there i'm a parent of two students at the high school and i'm also a teacher at the middle school all right that was good nobody likes wearing masks the kids don't like wearing masks the teachers don't like wearing masks nobody does but we know it's for the greater good and that's why kids are doing it and i have to tell you i don't hear any complaints if the kids need to take a break we are more than glad to give it to them and encourage it so that's been since last
016year and this year too so i've been really impressed by the kids in that way not hearing complaints um and we just want to stay in school especially those of us at the middle school we didn't get back last year until february it was really hard and the kids were really sad because it got pushed off a couple times and just to see that reaction so i whatever it takes for us to maintain the situation that we have right now staying in school i think is really important the other thing is that a gentleman commented before about bureaucrats making decisions the state of new hampshire requires kids to have a judge that's slippery dude so i think that there are safety measures in place for students and i think it's important that we think about
017that as well so if we're going to require something like a vaccine for chickenpox i think we need to have some things in place for covid i think it just makes sense i also want to comment on the recent facebook post by one of the school board members i was really disappointed in the language that was used you people and then there were comments made it just found that incredibly condescending and it felt well the other cat would definitely not work should he would exceed the weight limit you people i just find that very condescending and rude so i hope that we can keep it polite thank you hi i'm cindy young from bristol new hampshire [Laughter] and i think and i think they'll do whatever it takes to be able to do that versus
018being locked at home for another year i would trying to get that some reality covered it tastes so good oh you taste like a lollipop is faulty and it's creating false positives [Music] we know that when kids get back to school this is like a petri dish okay they get flus they get colds they get sick and you can't differentiate between the symptoms so you that then you test them with this test that the cycle is inaccurate and you end up with all these numbers so i want you to be mindful of that and there is proven scientific factual data that tells you about that cocoa code three protect the yard code three go go [Music] what in the world are you doing i want a tea it's just silly little girl a little crazy
019diaper but there's a couple of things i'd like to absolutely look in my baby my address or i can send it with gypsy [Music] it's a [Music] at either the state or the federal level that looks like your last month per student and get and allocates funds directly as a result of your mass mandate and then for future discussion by the board i'd like to hear a couple of things on critical race theory receptacles throughout the school for these masks that are going to be contaminated all over the place thank you brenda joyce from alexandria and i figured this is a perfect follow-up to the woman in front of me here as far as the pcr test go i have 30 pages right here 268 different tests by different companies have now been rejected it
020was already updated on september 25th pcr tests that are bogus this is what you're basing masking my grandchildren on that's number one i'll pass that off to the board number two the lies being told resulting in unfounded fear has been driven by the media besides [Music] get out of here so unless you want to change these kids masks every 30 minutes they're doing the rebreathing of our exhale air will without a doubt three minutes and such cells are so sensitive kelly say hi [Music] say hello hello archer are you stuck come on come on come on there you go you're stuck aren't you you got yourself in a pickle here don't you boy nobody's helping him [Laughter] gets written up oh yeah yeah agility is gonna go on each and every one of you that

029the carlos watson show is brought to you by american family insurance hey cedric what's up my brother how you doing hey man you looking young yeah man you know what i'm saying i got a few little injections okay all right you're not afraid hollywood is treating you right i love it and you know what don't laugh because a couple of us are starting to get them you recognize it like you know age is real but you know normally black don't crack but you showing know some fault lines lately that is a good way to say it what did you do for the summer man he's trying to create and produce other shows we had you know the the success of the show coming out on balance and then uh then i produce a little summertime
030show that i do for myself for cbs the greatest at home videos and so we did we did some more of those this summer right now we're all about that joy that aspiration that motivating factor to say hey life is worth living get up and go for it and you just don't want to miss what the human spirit has the ability to do we got it right on this show am i projecting or are you someone who likes to stay busy i always say it's a little bit of the midwest upbringing uh and i lived in a single-parent household my mom was a school teacher and it was and it was my younger sister and so as the male you know i felt like it was kind of like it's still to be active to
031be able to be a participant so i even look at my job like that to this day you know even though it comes with celebrity and recognition i really look at like a guy who's getting up to go to work i don't really like oh i'm famous you know so people like yo man are you so humble all the time so chill i'm like dude i've just got a job that's the way i look when did you cross over where like you realize all of a sudden you were famous a couple times one cause i've won a uh a comedy competition in chicago and they put me in jet magazine okay i remember jumping yup yup that you don't i don't know what people need as far as fame but could be in jet in
032the hood yeah was like a whole situation and then the next time that i really felt like really famous was after the bud light commercials uh i did in the super bowl i got two laws for that fire with a great case that won't fill you up and never let you down make it a bud that's not that bad i've been on television i've done movies but you don't realize how much impact a commercial is basically on 10 times 12 times in the day so your opportunity for exposure is crazy so it was like people seeing me in the airports and stopping me and i was like yo i'm out here now that's crazy what's the best thing that's ever happened as a result of being famous one michael jackson called me at my house
033one day god don't know how he had my number or nothing but i was sitting at home i just had my son who was about to be 21 now so i was holding him like a baby and i get a call and it was like uh cedric the entertainer and i was like yes it was like you have a call from michael jackson and i was like what i think it's a joke and then he was like hey man how you doing i was like yo crazy he literally just called you out of the blue dude like michael jackson can get your phone number just know that he liked the movie johnson family vacation and wanted to tell me to keep you know keep that kind of comedy up he was you know being from
034indiana that all made sense that traveling with your family to go visit family so he loved that movie that was that was one of those moments i say come with being famous [Music] i'm excited we're excited [Music] give me another one what else uh what else came with being famous we were shooting uh the steve harvey show and uh halle berry's dressing room was across the hall of mine she was getting ready to go do something some other show and she kept she was coming out the door to go to the set and i stopped and i said how you doing and i said look at me just for a second do you feel anything i don't need it to be nothing special but do you feel anything as you look at me you know
035what i have not been that creative i need to be more creative you just expanded my catalog everybody going for the romance i'm dealing with whatever emotion comes out first i'm willing to take the long road that's what i'm saying oh man oh i love that [Music] ensure carefully dream fearlessly think about my son he like the little mixed girls he like the girls who's like have black half white little curly hair that's his thing you know he gonna go out on date you know he gonna tell me take them to the movies you know i'm like cool let's see you know he hop in the back seat with her i'm like [Applause] how did you get into comedy in the first place because uh that wasn't your first job was it i've had many
036jobs you know i went to college graduated southeast missouri state in cape torado and you know i worked in radio for a minute uh i sold fax machines for the ricoh corporation for a minute you know when they were new that was a new technology i was i was considered selling spaceships at the time what are you talking about and then was working at state farm and you know basically transitioning to comedy at night like most people trying to just find you and find your way in life young man the first time i ever did comedy you know another comedian basically worked me through my set told me how to do it basically taught me how to be a professional and then i won five hundred dollars the first time i ever did it so
037that was stuck you know how white people are when they try to get you to feel comfortable man he's saying all the wrong stuff don't mind you know what slitter i like black people [Music] hell i got a pair of black boots i got a black pickup truck i even got a colored tv now were you funny growing up well we used to call it st louis we called it the jones jones right like you got me jones so and you know in the lunchroom we had three rushes yeah first one second left third lunch i was on third lunch but the kids for first lunch would be like yo like come try to get me out of class they'd be like yo man you gotta come down here get old boy today man you've
038been killing us did they call you the entertainer back then or no hollywood i had relatives out here as a kid so we would come and visit and i had a shirt a t-shirt that said hollywood on it that obviously now in in retro retrospect i must award quite a bit right because if it became my nickname uh all even to the point that my kids and peers would call my mom miss wood they didn't even know my name i was really like hollywood people were like come on be like how are you doing miss wood see like who are they talking about now how did it switch to uh cedric the entertainer well that name kind of came about as i started to really you know do comedy more professionally i was doing a
039show one night and the guy was introducing everybody as the next comedian and i was like i just wasn't comfortable with being considered a comedian i told him to call me an entertainer he introduced me a cedric the entertainer i went up i had a great show and then when when i came off he called me 70 to be entertainer again so i just kept i've been asked throughout my career you know especially earlier on to change it you know everybody thought like it was too big of a name to take on uh you know you know definitely had agents you know that would be like no nobody's doing like the big names anymore everybody's going by their real family surnames but uh you know for me it was you know it wasn't even a
040name i gave myself you know i embraced it for that reason like now i'm i'm this guy when i'm doing those jokes white people like space movie black people don't really do space like that what people love space movie they love movies about the moon and mars where they can be leaving our ass down here on earth that's what they think they think they're gonna leave us down here on earth they're gonna move to the moon ain't gonna happen y'all moved to the moon damn it we coming to the moon so what would have happened cedric if you hadn't made it do you think i was working at state forum but i always even then i had an entrepreneurial kind of spirit like i always found little hustles and you know kind of business ideas
041so i think i would have you know maybe found my way into some kind of business probably maybe would have found my way back into the you know the news area or something like that or sports announcing i don't know but i you know i i studied that kind of stuff in college and had and had an opportunity to work for a cbs affiliate when i first graduated doing like fun news maybe only at kevin frank's job [Music] most interesting thing you've learned about dreaming fearlessly because so many people subject you know want to dream fearlessly it's hard it's difficult people are scared to do it especially in this world what have you learned what would you tell a younger version of yourself about how to dream fearlessly and bring it alive well i think
042like the thing about dreaming fiercely is really trusting that is that don't doubt yourself from trying like don't stop yourself from what you believe is going to happen let the chips fall away may your best opportunity is really gonna come by being in the situation and getting out there and that was one you know like for me growing up in a single parent household i was doing really well i was making good money for a young guy i was probably 26 27 making nice money i got a house i got a car but for me to say like i believe in comedy i just came up with a plan i saved up enough money and i had a strategy to do some shows and then i had a quick date and i did it and
043i just i quit on that day my son's 15 he's been here on the swim team so you know that swim they begin you in a different kind of shape so he all of a sudden my son out of nowhere got all shoulders and chest he gone walking in the house one day what up dad i said oh no you might wanna put all that up when you walk in the house put them shoulders in the closet put your chest in the drawer i agree i have all this walk around my goddamn house hey look back for me i don't know if i fully know how you broke through and how you think about why you broke through my style was very relational like i felt like talking to a cousin or looking at an
044uncle or you know if i perform like that where it doesn't feel like oh somebody's walking up kind of just telling you these jokes and i really emulated my style from the late robin harris oh man i loved him he was the kind of comedian that when i first saw him and i identified with him the right television came at the right time for me like you know and so many of my peers i would say we landed in that space where uh all the guys from my class the comedy uh uh most of us are still around and still doing well dlc jamie chris rock was a little bit ahead of us but uh but all of us that kind of came in that that era where def jam was high uh comic view
045for me was the one on bt i made the you know the choice to go to comic view and it made me a household name because i was the host and when i became the host you know like in the african-american households i was known and that made me a star it was in the steve harvey show and in the movies but uh all of it really really kind of stems from the idea that i think that people feel like they know me already and i use that as a tool who's in your comedy mount rushmore robin harris eddie murphy richard pryor george carlin love robin williams as well richard jenny he was a favorite comedian of mine growing up so i would throw him up there somewhere now have you ever melted down on
046stage have you ever totally bombed a couple of times man i remember having a night in in st louis where when i i you know i was popping man everybody was coming to see me i was going i was getting it in and i had a night at a show where it was so bad i offered people a money back i was just feeling bad for myself not expecting people to really want their money back they wasn't the buddy back i love that i was like oh really she you know taught me one time just totally be yourself man as much as you want to make them laugh if they're not laughing and you having a good time then just rock it that way and just don't even worry about it you know so i've
047learned to do those kind of you know those kind of things on stage to help me like whenever you know whenever you feel like it's going down a horrible rabbit hole to nowhere but you know it is uh it is such an opportunity in this life to take the stage as many times as someone like you or steve does and to have people paying attention to you enjoying you paying their money looking forward to it and in a way what i think about you guys up there is also such a responsibility too because you know we're showing up hoping that you're gonna make us feel better yeah i mean you know and that's the thing that i think that i always tell young comedians just that you got to remember that people come here they
048pay they pay their money they've had all kinds of experiences today you know your job is to go up there and entertain them you know go in there and try to embrace that be your greatest self and see if you can transfer that to them to just get people to transform from from where they really are in life to this space that's about laughter and joy and a good time and uh that's what i believe you know what the comedian is supposed to do there are some white people that love black people just because they're black makes them feel all good on the inside hey i have lots of black friends i'm a good person oh my god don't you just love hamilton tell me how you feel about hamilton what's the greatest musical of
049all time oh my god hey what about neighborhood how's that been we're going into the fourth season congrats it's really great to have this show man the whole gentrification thing is very real in our communities yeah and so we wanted to be able to tell the story from you know what that feels like that the world is becoming this melting pot that people are uh you know more and more you know living next to each other and side by side and you know that's what you know a cohesive uh world should operate as you know that we should be able to learn from and grow with and recognize the differences in each other and still be able to live side by side now as much as you enjoy it as a comedy you guys tackle
050some very as you said like serious cutting edge issues as working on the show changed your mind about anything or did it offer you new perspectives on anything i mean you know being being a guy over 50 i've seen so many things in this world like you know we we attacked the uh social injustice you know in our first episode last season that got us a lot of acclaim i'm gonna organize a protest they want you to fight with this but you gotta fight with this uh where's malcolm i thought he's with you i'm going back out there i'm going with i don't need anybody else i love out there come on dave you know the main thing is you learn from my white counterparts kind of perspective and then be able to educate and
051i think in these close quarters like this you're able to give a far more education you know you know like even to the point that you know i remember there was a whole thing in that episode about using the term allies and they wanted to lock on us and look we're not doing that we're not doing these lock-on terms that kind of justifies or wipes over you know all these years of social injustice by saying just because i stand here now i'm considered an ally and that gives me this pass i'm sorry if if i seem racist [Applause] hey hey man i'm sorry if i seem racist i was like those are the kind of terms that i believe you know how we let people off the hook we need to really deal with this
052we need to really know like how that make you feel that i had the power to tell you no did that make you feel something i tell y'all start walking down the street i'll see this lady the white lady gonna come up to me like oh my god i can't believe it's you you got a little daughter with her she was like can we take a picture with you i'm like of course you know i'll take the picture with him somebody leave i'll walk off she like thank you ceelo what happens when you are in front of all white audiences is that a different comedy set and a different relationship for you and when you're in front of you know the audience that's one of the one of the first times that i bombed that
053i really recall was me trying to change uh my set for an all-white audience and i i bombed because i went up there and i you know i basically got outside my authentic self and was trying to do what i thought they would like or would relate to and so uh and i remember that i bombed and see walked a bit it cuts them out and i mean they laughed so hard carlos yeah they were laughing at him going off on them it was like wow from that moment on i recognized like yo that's this is all you got to do in life just don't even worry about it it's right ride the train you came in on it's all good if they don't like that one then they just don't like it but don't
054don't try to make them like you that's that's what i identify with my character in barbershop and a lot of people you know i gotta had some controversial about it uh but but what i was tapping into as a you know as an actor was that this guy was old enough not to really worry about your opinion about his opinion like he didn't care about what you thought about his opinion and so therefore he could say what he wanted like and i love that you're wrong you're walking by yourself this time pal i ain't with you i'll take one thing you better never let jessie jackson hear you talking about like man randy tito freddie action i'll take a moment i love this biggest mistake or biggest failure you've had in this life somebody worded
055this perfectly i i gave up for what i wanted in the long run to get what i wanted right now and that's that would be one of those things i had a plan and i knew that i had this plan and i pivoted on that plan because i accepted what i could get right now and then that's one of those things that you always go back like man if i just would have did it my way i'd have been way further and and so you're saying you there was a movie or something that you took in the short term instead of maybe a series or a different project that you really wanted movie was the honeymooners and the honeymooners did great but the movie that i wanted to do would have been a franchise i
056know it in the directorate i wanted and everything we would have had a big big big movie career most beautiful place you've ever been to oh man oh australia queensland the surface paradise over there oh that sounds beautiful i've been to australia but only to sydney and melbourne yeah you gotta go to their miami version that's really pretty over there and are you an airbnb guy are you a hotel guy if i got the whole family going with me we're going to get a house and rent a house we travel pretty heavy and you know so that it's better for us to like have a house and just operate from there hey i want to hit you with a little bit of rapid fire let's go all right i say obama you say what coolest

059my cousins that we were going to have them on the show today and one of my cousins pointed out he's the reason why our family has laugh wrinkles but then he was talking about how he he got injections on the fault lines i found this fascinating conversation the more fascinating once you guys started talking about race and how hard it is for us to prove that we've always been allies and we grew up without racism without seeing color like we kind of did what we could at the time but that's not enough i found this conversation amazing not because he's an entertainer i found this conversation amazing because he has a lot to say about a topic that we all really need to be talking about hey i hope you enjoyed cedric the entertainer how
060could you not laugh how could you not enjoy him such a good guy such a relatable guy loved what he had to say about the honeymooners trusting your gut never knowing where that could end up all kinds of goodness there hope you enjoyed them as well listen now as i promise it's time to introduce you to yet another incredible person and by the way an equally incredible program it's put on by our friends at hennessey it's called the never stop never settle society recognizes strivers and dreamers who are creating change in the face of diversity now today we're going to shine a light on mandy price she's the co-founder and ceo of canaries a company that uses technology and data to improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace really incredible company for more here's my
061time mandy price [Music] hey mandy hi how are you good how you doing good what made you decide to apply to the never stop never settle society so one of our teammates saw the application and we were just really really inspired by tennessee's commitment to closing the gap for black entrepreneurs and for addressing a lot of disparities that we see within our society so we were honored to be one of the recipients and really really thankful for the commitment that they're showing towards black entrepreneurs mandy take me back were you slated to be an entrepreneur uh from early on i never thought i'd be an entrepreneur but like most entrepreneurs i was driven by my passion so when i was practicing law i was on the civil rights board and did many many things with
062respect to promoting social justice issues and over time you know i faced many many challenges that many women and people of color especially black professionals face in the workplace and you know i kind of grew up in a lot of programs that teach you how to navigate the workplace i felt like what we were doing a lot of times was teaching people how to navigate a broken system a system that we knew didn't work and i felt that i don't want to teach these same skills to my children i want the work environment to be fair for them not for me to continue to teach them these survival skills that have been passed down from generation to generation and so that's one of many light bulb moments but i think as i started to have
063my children i just i wanted the workplace to be different and i wanted it to be fair when did you start canaries yeah we started in 2018. i enjoy it because it's my life's passion i feel like my purpose in life our company is focused on diversity equity inclusion issues and so what we've seen obviously within the last year and a half right it's a fundamental shift when it comes to dei so for us it is a very exciting time especially when we think about the way we approach dei is really around helping organizations think about it from a systemic and institutional standpoint and when we first started the company we felt like we were speaking a different language and votes we were talking about measuring equity inclusion and creating policies and practices to promote
064inclusion and equity and people would tell us they had a pipeline problem they were just you know we just need to recruit and we feel like people are finally speaking the same language as us who have you found so far really seems to be locked in really seems to be taking the opportunity seriously and really engaging with you guys in an ambitious way we see certain ceos certain boards so certain shareholders and investors that have made this a priority for their organizations and that's really the kind of common thread that we're seeing but one of the things that you know we kind of worked ourselves in a frenzy of thinking this thing only lasts for six months or maybe a year and we're still seeing companies focused on these issues and we're still seeing boards
065and shareholders ask about them and we're still seeing regulations come down right sec has all these different rules and companies like nasdaq and goldman sachs saying we're not going to take your company public if you don't have diversity on your board nasdaq saying if you don't have a certain level of diversity you can't be listed on our exchange so we are seeing all the things that are pointing to this isn't a blip that this is long standing and it's going to be something that organizations have to pay attention to and if everything goes well 10 years from now what will be true about canaries paint me a vision well we know di issues aren't just us issues they're global issues and so 10 years from now we hope to be working with many many companies
066across the globe to help ensure that they are creating that inclusive ineffable environment for all their employees and that dei is truly elevated with every other business priority where the idea of measuring and tracking it over multi-years isn't a foreign concept and so that's our goal to really ensure that this work continues like you said it's not that blip but 10 years from now this will be a no-brainer for companies amen i hope i hope uh i hope that happens mandy was very nice to meet you uh thank you for the work that you're doing and congratulations thank you so much carlos hey that was mandy price my thanks to her and everyone at hennessey in the never stop never settle society hey while we're saying our thanks i want to thank all of you
067for tuning in we'll see you next time right here on the carlos watson show hey tune into the carlos watson show it's like no other you're gonna enjoy it every weekday on youtube [Music] [Applause] [Music] who's your best friend [Music] there he goes george is that funny [Music] you know anytime that there's a covet case uh jason torcy our facilities director was alerted and his his crew had have they do okay so specifically it doesn't require a whole day that spray works really well you know all the tables and desks and chairs and all of the touch points there's a lot of [Applause] her face [Music] oh come here give me a little ostrich come here i'll grab it come here oh god daddy what do we do we have an updated survey would it
068be sending out an additional survey to get updated support a remarkable impact of the layering strategy including math okay and anyone can google it and look at it all right it was referenced earlier the one in arizona there's also one out of georgia but it's not even close the school districts that are masking aren't happening it's not happening [Music] i think it's a good idea and maybe we could do it around the end of first term when there's open house uh grading time uh i know that there are benchmarks when people have a vacuum come over here really is that how we'd have to think through how we it's a different question yeah [Music] um and i know people are passionate about it and music and the arts and tech all your technology needs we
069all came together for another cause and i believe we can do it again i think that we just there's so many unknowns and there's so many studies on both sides that if we have our own data you know we can add it to the puzzle wow staring at an adorable pint-sized four-legged ruminate chewing it's cute it's okay what are you doing i'm gonna need you to not take my food mooch no [Music] for his food why'd you chill click why i could tell is it good yes number it's a oh yeah thank you [Laughter] well done dog [Music] you wear your nice cool new shirt huh hey so follow along with the schedule that we did last year by your customers the recommendation for the requirements showing the customer oh my god [Laughter] so what
070we would recommend is that we do it on the fifth and then the snow day uh typically here is on the following monday the 7th that's my recommendation dude we'll find out i'll face today that's a good idea sure whatever you want questions it's always good this is hilariously funny act for the entire board except as specifically designated by board action and under that it says recognize that final board actions shall be supported by all members of the board take no private action that shall compromise the board or administration and return you can't go in the fridge anymore no actually just you can't do it private or public sports or communities that i've ever been on that just kind of underscores what i've typically been used to um so for example i would like to
071bring up posting and permit postings [Music] no you don't eat him he said no can i have a microphone yeah can you cite me the rsa that mandates [Music] and how that [Laughter] and i have been very clear that when the board makes the decision it is the board's decision and it is the policy but that does not mean i have to embrace it and push it if i don't agree with it so you can be assured if i vote no on an item i'm not going to change my mind because the board in total voted in the majority the other way it's a violation of freedom of speech so i will post my opinion and i've been very careful you say that what's next to it action good girl sadie go get your it
072is my pants view so you know if you want to try to take some action to get me she is for real i i don't think it's a question of wanting to take action i hope it's not we're having a discussion about policies so i imagine that's why you're bringing it up what did daddy do to you very strange what did daddy do what other policies are we not wearing responsible for following [Applause] any and all of them why do we have them i guess would be my question don't get up now push closer [Music] an rsa that says that you can't have a relative employed by the school district and serve on the board isn't it a conflict of interest if you have a child in the school district because you have a special
073interest in what your school court does because you have a child [Music] get out of there [Music] foreign oh so the response that i got doesn't again it begs me to read the same statement again there's a difference between pushing something and embracing it versus going with a decision that will compromise the border administration what you did does that and i don't see how that and if it doesn't then that's a whole another so my main point in bringing this up is that we can't be doing this as a board this is not an effective way to run a committee a board etcetera people are gonna we're gonna vote on something and then individually we could all go out and start telling our own story as we are aboard when we're doing it wrong little
074man [Music] foreign like me you think so i think so last minute meeting i had a medical reason that i could not wear one i've worn them all the time but to condemn somebody that they're being disrespectful when they have a medical reason [Laughter] [Music] constituency that was voted on at the deliberative meeting by numbers roughly 290 to 10. when the question was asked around that tanner take polly for a while move it around a little bit [Music] okay [Music] and then if this happens then do this wow [Music] versus this would be very helpful for me me being our representative yeah she came [Music] this is what happens when we give red men a graham cracker he tries to share it with the doggy but the doggy takes the whole thing [Music] what have
075you got what is the cash [Music] bruto [Music] opposed [Music] um a member of the audience asked earlier about critical race theory there are three resolutions um three of them um deal with crt and one of them specifically oh my god uh i think violating [Music] what's in your mouth maggie she is so silly [Laughter] just clarification there's the five but aren't there also the continuing resolutions that they take a vote on if they haven't passed three years in a row i don't know i'd have to go back to that later i think there are several good boys get it or not go to the new hampshire school board association talk [Music] no we're all caught up we don't have anymore laughs [Music] he just stands there and lets him jump on him he just
076don't care get the cord so actually the new hampshire legislature last year because of what happened with schools like ours in the free and reduced lunches and the reduction of adequacy aids so we should be good with adequacy you know for this year um a new stage [Music] good girl yes [Music] the balancing process hi baby give me a kiss are you just fighting here that's the cutest fight ever
