CNN’s panel turned into a shouting match after Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary ripped California’s new “equity grading” system to pieces.

He called it “pure insanity” and accused California of leading the nation in academic decline.

The panel tried defending it, but Kevin wasn’t having it—saying flat-out, “Either you can read and do math or you can’t.”

The whole segment spiraled, and what started as a calm policy debate ended in a total meltdown.

🎥 You’ve got to see how it all went down.

O’Leary said what millions of parents are thinking—grading should measure performance, not politics.

As one guest put it, “We’re not preparing kids to learn, we’re preparing them to fail politely.”

From slashing honors programs to confusing equity with lowered standards, California’s approach is backfiring badly.

This debate isn’t just about school—it’s about the future of our country’s kids.

🚨 DeSantis TORCHES FEMA: “Political Games Left Florida Stranded”

Florida just got a warning louder than any hurricane siren.

Governor Ron DeSantis exposed FEMA’s failure to respond to Hurricanes Milton and Helen, accusing the agency of letting politics get in the way of saving lives.

He revealed that homes with Trump signs were skipped during relief efforts and warned that FEMA’s incompetence left thousands of Floridians without help.

And with another storm season looming, he made one thing clear: “We do not want to get ground down in bureaucracy.”

🎥 Watch DeSantis break it all down in this must-see clip.

DeSantis says FEMA’s top priority should be people, not politics.

From delayed housing and outdated flood maps to missing food and water deliveries, FEMA’s failures weren’t just missteps—they were disasters of their own.

And when asked what comes next, DeSantis didn’t mince words: “We’re going to protect our people and demand real accountability.”

Florida’s leading the way, but the rest of America better take notes.
