  • @HvitHauk How was it shut down?

  • @HvitHauk I personally want ALL schools shut down. We can afford to build them.

  • Only one out of three graduate from this 400 million dollar school.  LAUSD knows how to piss away money like no other.

  • That no child left behind act is such bullshit. If you have a child in the third grade that can't add 2+3, and your teaching him 5x41, why the fuck would you keep pushing that child along when he can't understand what the work was three lessons ago!!

    WHATS NEXT? >:)

  • For once, I mostly agree with you on this one. If I was a taxpayer living in Belmont, I would be just as pissed. You could build at least four schools with that much money. But I don't live there. And you probably don't either.

  • OK look here buddy

    mind your own buisness

    these arent your problems.

  • FUCK YEAH! Let's pay less money to educate children and more to kill some Muslims!! WHAT'S NEXT NEXT?! WHAT'S NEXT?! WHAT'S NEXT?! You're a douche bag! Get the fuck over it!

    B-2 bomber: $2.4 billion

    F-22 Raptor: $350 million

    C17A Globemaster III: $328 million

    Want me to continue?

  • @Skitz1o1

    SR-71: Alot

  • @Skitz1o1 Defending our borders...PRICELESS!

  • Schools just indoctrinate children. I barely could speak or write english when I was done in school and without subtiles I didn´t understood a word in a movie. It´s more thanks to internet forums and youtube that I am so good at english right now.

  • maaaaan....does anyobody know how many schools can be built with 400 million dollars?!?!? if the money is spread wisely...over 20...that's right...over 20 schools....and then the state had the nerve to build a high school recently for 580 million....and wonder why everyone is broke as fuck and we can't pass our budget....

  • @kurojin97 Exactly!! The estimated federal debt is like what, 400-600 billion dollars!? And they decided one school was worth 400 million dollars? I guess we really are throwing our money down the drain, wasting it away on nonsense bullshit. That 400 million dollars could have been put into more schools to be built, and having orphans or homeless children getting an education, yet no, these motherfuckers want to throw away their money away.

  • Hey Bob, to add to that anger, California got FEDERAL stimulus $ to bail their asses out this year too, so the Taxpayer was forced to spend $ on that piece of shit school even if they dont live in that state. I guess this is what they call an "investment" in education

  • This is going to bankrupt California... Oh wait.. Oh BTW its 578 million dollars.

  • @CRAZYWHITEMAN83: Exactly what I was going to say, it ended up being $578 million

  • Heh RDJ build that school

  • Kids don't deserve these things

  • @Jetbus90 Forget public schools. All kids should be homeschooled.

  • @Jetbus90 yea no wonder kids are getting stupider by the day, they've got people saying they don't deserve things.

  • The latest High School in Los Angeles, Ambassidor High School, is costing 578 million dollars, so far.

  • he freaks out so much the camera is bouncing

  • A pile of bricks. HA Obviously you don't understand shit.

  • I am tired of paying thousands in school taxes because I have no kids. People that have no kids should at least get some kind of break and let the people who have kids pay a little more. If you can't afford it, home school. Now they have indoor pools and air conditioning, most of us got by without it. I pay for Free Lunches; let the dam parents cook, instead of buying McDonald's. If you are on a tight budget, make Rice & Beans like I did when I was broke.

  • I don't agree with everything he says. But he makes alot of sense. Im one of those left liberals and I believe in almost everything he says. Thank you

  • This is a very, very angry video.

  • Dude - You are awsome man, You tell it like it is. And your free to tell the truth as opposed to some journalist on CNN because you don't have Liberal/Jewish sponsors you have to see eye-to-eye with

    Love ur vids!

  • @billydumont lol, i bet you watch faux news

  • Um im sorry let me speak more clearly for youok???? you need some help!!!!!!!!!! and im cocasian ok? (that means white if you cant understand my big words)

  • Big Words? Think before you type because your stupid as hell as you can't even spell "Caucasian". You have many grammatical and punctuation error in about 2-3 sentences. go back to school douchebag because you need it.

  • $400 to $45 million? Plz. It went to the people doing it. Of course they built a nice school (wasteful as you put) but people just made money off of it. Politicians make money off of everything. :(

    Nobody realizes it. It's sad. I'm running for office.

  • It cost so much because corrupt liberal politicians take are in bed with mod run uniions and construction companies!!

    Trust me, I'm from Camden county New Jersey!!

  • typo mod = mob

  • dude ive been watching all your videos and honestly you are on the ball

    not only do you supply legitimate points but you provide evidence and facts to back up your claims... if you didnt have such an anger i would suggest that you run for president

  • you guys are all stupid lol... the school did not cost 400 million dollars.. it cost $45 million and the politician paid out $400 million, outta that $400 million the government paid out $45 million + tax on $400 million dollars.. THEN whatever was left over? maybe $100 million came back to the politician.. its called kick backs and every politician does it.. our government is corrupt

  • if this guy is part of D.A.R.E. doesnt he like schools and kids ?

    doesnt he like to help them ?

  • huh??????? this video scares me!

  • K

    #1: You shouldn't be on YouTube since your not old enough....

    #2: Your spelling an grammar is that of a retarded 10 year old girl scout

    #3: I'm guessing your an American of African descent(black if you didn't know what I said), cause I'm guessing by your grammar since I couldn't understand 90% of what you even said.

    #4: Just cause a school is rich, doesn't mean the kids pay attention, I'm going to a school where I must pay a little to go, because its an academy...

    Damn, outta space :(

  • hopefully the kids who go to that school get taught about the military budget.

  • maybe its covered up so the government doesnt look like the dumbasses they are?

  • I googled "$400 million dollar elementary school" and nothing came up except you video. I went to the news section, checked the archives and couldn't find anything. Where is your source?

  • Belmont High School in Los Angeles is the school he his probably refering to.

    Search: Belmont High School fiasco

  • Is he drunk? ^_^ Us kids NEED education to be something awesome when we grow up... HOW MUCH DID UR SCHOOL WHEN YOU WERE A KID COST HUH??? $5 I think ur mad about gas and cigerette prices too huh!!!!!!!!!!

  • are you like 11, im 15 but hes right go fuck yourslef richboy

  • Mhmm... I'm not 11 actually I'm 15

  • Bush sent $400,000,000 to Mexico to "fight drugs" and to train their police on how to torture people.

  • Take your foil hat of pal. Bush isn't out to torture anyone that doesn't endanger the US. And Mexico doesn't need help torturing people.

  • I don't have a foil hat on, take off your blinders. It's called "Plan Mexico" If you're smart enough to use Google you can read all about it.

  • i used to be in the d a r e program

  • I believe the school in question is Belmont High School. What lead to the high costs was the discovery of toxins on the site during construction.

    I heard that a H.S. just built in my neighborhood in North Hollywood cost $140 million. Looking at it , I would have guessed maybe 30 million.

    This kind of spending can not continue. People who pay high taxes are leaving the state and are being replace by illegal aliens who usually work in the black market and pay no taxes at all.

  • I heard about that HS too. It is a result of improper surveying of the site. THey coulda done a better job. As far as the tax thing goes: A Value added tax (VAT) Like Europe uses would end the black market economy and we could end income tax completelt. I'm not for a 20% VAT like some places over there but we could do 8 or 9 and make tons of cash but we would need decent politians to spend it. THAT is where we have the problem.

  • you created an account just to bash one guy? Dude, wtf?

  • 100% agree with you man, ~!!!!

  • Now americans spend 700 million to open the biggest ever complete with marble US embassey in Iraq.....no ........the 10 year old kid is right

  • Dude, fucking chill.

  • Wow!!! With $400,000,000 you probably could build a school, a fire dept, a police station, a YMCA, a boys and girls club, a new restaurant, homeless shelter... That's outrageous for school!!!

  • wow dude your rite about the money but chill the fuk out every video your screamy is that your way of proving a point

  • It's LA: What do you expect? That's the country of celebrities and spoiled brats. I hope someone bombs it soon.

  • TRUE DAT!!! all you need to invest on a elementary school is some QUALITY, GOOD, CARING, school teachers, and let the kids do their own exploring...

    True also about computers, let the kids explore outside of the internet, let the kids explore what exist other that what people talk about... let them EXPLORE!!

  • an university would be worth it.

    but elementary school, for kids 10 and under,

    it is just not worth it.

  • Wow that is ridiculous

    But kudos to you for getting angry and not swearing...it takes a lot of self control to maintain a clean vocabulary while on a rampaging rant

  • are U left handed Bob?

  • Whats wrong with left handed?

  • Uhm....were you talkin' to me? 1happiness? The roof on the fairly brand new Wal-Mart here caves in all the time. Horray!! idiots

  • I hope that roof never caves in on you in Wal-Mart. ^_^

  • Great video. I feel the same way. It is just crazy. Carry on Patriot

  • if u think education is expensive, imagine ignorance?

  • Well said Bob!!!! I live in California for 3 years and their Elementary school out here is like a "Mini MI6 headquarters" compare to my ghetto Elementary school back home in Connecticut.

  • These people are trying to make this school into a freakin palace.

  • Yep. All so the kids can graduate caring about clothes and music. Yay.

  • 400 million? Why? .............Its a predominately Black area.....Go figure. I recently got beat up on the beach by 6 to 8, 19-22 year olds. Why? because I was white and alone. And it was dark. When I called 911 the cops argued with me till I couldn't take it anymore after I told them where I was and which way the Group or gang went I made it into my house and 30 min. later the cops didn't even show up! .

  • they were probably to busy to take your call to make them find the time you should of said you was gonna take the law into your hands and that you was on your way with several guns to take care of what they refused to that would of got them off their donut break

  • ehhh dont hurt me T_T

  • We've got a similar problem in Massachusetts with a $200 million school. THey want to raise taxes, but the mayor has the nerve to give himself a pay raise.

  • sniff sniff.....I smell union labor

  • sniff sniff I smell someone who don't know the first thing about skilled labor

  • sniff sniff...I smell a union laborer who is afraid of any competition to keep prices down

  • sniff,sniff i smell bacon

  • I'm guessing..you're.. um..a bit ticked?

  • The UN's budget on Ending World Hunger was 6 MILLION!!!!!SIX FRICKIGN MILLION!?!?Millions of children, widows, men, grandmas, grandpas, brothers, uncles, aunts, sisters are freaking DYING IN THE WORLD?!ANd whats the budget?!?!?6 fuckign million!?then they spend 400 million on a elementary school?!they live in BELMONT CALIFORNIA!THAT CITY PRACTICALLY HAS MORE MONEY THAN 3rd WORLD COUNTRIES?!what is wrong with this world.

  • If you want to help 3rd world countries open your check book. Oh wait, you probably want to take it from mine.

  • Actually i do. I work for Compassion, a christian organization that sponsors needy kids. I sponsor several kids myself from honduras.

    I never asked for your money. Im asking for the governments money. Spend it on soemthing useful. Because an education in a public school in Minnesota, is the same as a education in a 400 million dollar school. You dont buy knowledge, you learn it.

  • He didn't want your money he said it was a shame that it is a shame that people are starving but we spend 400 million dollars on an elementary school. Not only that there are rich people spending money on frivolous things when people are starving.

  • about the pyramids, hes saying because there so big and beautiful, they didnt even cost 400 million dollars, they didnt cost anything. but this Elemantary schoool is costing them 400$ million.

  • The pyramids cost nothing to build. Now if only we had some slaves....

  • yes quite perhaps

  • pyramids in egypt? wtf?

  • 400 million? what the fuck, they waste the money!, You could build a decent university with dorms, pool, labs and all with that kind of money! What the fuck were they thinking.

  • $400 MILLION!!!! Holy shit. Some people have seriously gotta get their heads outta their asses or have their asses kicked outta office. Fuck the war on terror. How about the war on boneheaded politicians who squander hard earned american tax dollars? What the fuck, man?

  • hey look u have a dare shirt on.... drug abuse resistance education

  • so wait, an elementary school gets 400 mil.

    and my school can't get enough money to add on, or get a new school? WTF!!!

  • yes. this is the problem with society, thats why we're facing impending doom. nobody has any perspective any more. "society" is just a bunch of middle classes pseudointellectuals jerking each other off. we cant just have a school any more. because that's our kids are "special". we need a super shcool with the best architechture ever (which will be only mediocre in 6 months time). fucking women. that's whose responsible for all these problems. psychotic women drive this stupid inane mentality.

  • thats true its the women and theyre shitty jugement. im not sexist but thats a fact

  • God bless this man!

  • Amen! The liberals dont wine about that!

  • Amen! The liberals dont wine about that!

    yeah we do you fucking idiot. speak for your ignorant self

  • The point is that you liberals dont wine about this shit. When the moneys in your hand and schools are being built for 400 mill!! instead you wine about iraq and trees!

  • like i said speak for yourslef, liberals want money to be spent on education that doesnt mean we want it wasted on a fancy building. that money could be spent toward education in better ways. conservative would rather we dont do shit about anything. paying all kinds of taxes wouldnt be a bad thing if it wasnt wasted like this. you proved your ignorance so stop talking.

  • Yea let me work for a living and piss half of it maybe more! to the U.S. goverment so it can be spent on bullshit that dont matter! Building a school, global warming, saving trees and animals and other bullshit!!

  • typical dumb ignorant blind conservative fuckstick. how many people dont have heathcare in America? yea that just a buncha bullshit fuck em.

  • well you can pay for it all!

  • whatever dude

  • Yea thats right "whatever"!

  • You proved you ignorance with the statement "paying all kinds of taxes wouldn't be a bad thing"..What? The fact is when taxes are lower, more revenue is taken in by the government!

  • "The fact is when taxes are lower, more revenue is taken in by the government!"

    hahahahahahahahahahaha your a fucking retard. if that wasnt a misstament you are so stupid you shouldnt be allowed to exist.

  • I am a retard for stating verifiable facts! It is very easy to verify! All records of tax revenue are available at the U.S. treasury department websites. They have statistics dating back over 100 years! The statistics show for a fact,historically, when taxes are reduced tax revenue increases!

  • reducing taxes mean we pay LESS money to the government in taxes.

  • No Shit!

  • yeah tell that to quaheedus, he thinks just the opposite. how the do human beings become so fucking stupid?

  • ????

  • quote from quaheedus "I am a retard for stating verifiable facts! It is very easy to verify! All records of tax revenue are available at the U.S. treasury department websites. They have statistics dating back over 100 years! The statistics show for a fact,historically, when taxes are reduced tax revenue increases!"

  • High tax rates cause the tax base to contract and lower rates boost economic growth. The history of taxation shows that taxes which are excessive are not paid. The high rates put pressure on taxpayers to withdraw their capital from productive business. The 1920s started with very high tax rates and an economic recession.Taxes were then reduced by 33.6% but real federal personal income tax revenues increased...this period was known as the roaring 20's.

  • So far you have done nothing but call me names and use profanity yet I am the one who is stupid? When taxes are reduced tax payers have more of their own money to purchase more goods and services, this creates more work and jobs for people who will then make more money which is also taxed.You can call me names all you want and show how ignorant you are, or you can get the statistics from the Treasury department.

  • JFK speech given before the Economic Club of New York on Dec. 14,1962 -"Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that, no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget - just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.(continued)

  • continuation 1962 JFK speech before his Tax cut was implemented- JFK-"In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low, the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now."

  • lowering taxes lowers revenue and boosts the economy. then when the economy is bigger there is more to tax. but lowering taxes does not increase tax revenue only the economy. two different things, be more specific.

  • I know you probably don't want a real answer but here it is. America = most powereful military or so they say. America = 15th educationally. They are not building schools they are building miniature part time day care military training camps.

  • Bush or the directors of Blackwater are probably on the board of the construction company, WAKE UP.

  • Boy he's right about Education, they piss money away like crazy. And don't forget, that's where your property taxes are going to pay for that crap and if you rent, IT'S WHY YOUR FREAKING RENT WENT UP!

    Seriously though, it's like this guy is about to come bursting out of the screen. I'm just glad I've got a slim lcd, but inferior picture instead of a nice crt. (then it would seem more realistic and hence, more frightening).

  • 400$ thats to much! I can by 30% of s state in USA for that cind of money that's way to much! Screw thw Politics

  • this is why america has the worst education syestem in the world

  • Umm... What?

  • He's right if the government wasn't the worst education we have we wouldn't have these freaking problems! That's what montazarmontazarmont means, rawflepotato

  • That wasnt my point, I meant that the US doesnt have the worst education in the world. That doesn't even make sense at all

  • hay tommy whats 1 plus 1,tommy says 11.

  • Kids are sooo stupid in Californiway, they have to have these expensive schools- especially with all the wetbacks diluting the scores...

  • When are people in this country going to wake up and realize that the problem with our public education system isn't that it's under-funded... the problem is THE GOVERNMENT!

  • i got news on california. in los angolis they have a global warming tax on when u get ur gas.

  • you are kidding right?

  • nope

  • heh heh velcro sneakers, good one

  • You're my hero, bob.

  • 400 million 5 million to build the school and 395 million in someone's pocket.

  • really 400 million

  • 400 mill yeah  they are lieing

    about something

  • You rock bro love your videos even though sometimes i disagree.

  • haha what an alcoholic you are!!! hahahaha your going to make yourself have a heartaches no one will ever marry you! act like a man and have some composure!

  • take a break on building schools , put some of that money in our accounts , you f'ing money grubbers!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • god daum take a friggin breath fool!

  • "spend 1 million to biuld the school and 399 million to educate the kids"

    LOLLL

  • haha. yea dude thats how they should have done it

  • hope u get SHOT and strangled!

  • Way to go California, show us how to be that stupidest most ignorant country in the world. We have so much money that we build snot nose brats a 400 million dollar school that they will use to post more fights on youtube while gas keeps going up. I am ashamed of having been raised in California.

  • if they spent 400 million on an elementry school what will they spend on a highschool 1 billion dollars.

  • i bet the kids will trash that 400 million dollar school and it will be worth 400 thousand dollars.

  • fucking A

  • damn straight

  • lol your the greatest Bob!!

  • I vote 4 U as Prez! ..... Go Bob Go INDEED!!!

    We need a guy like you to run some shit!

  • what a waste of hardworking peoples money,obama and hilary would take a 400$ million from us so they have a stack of tolit paper to wipe thier asses with.

  • The LA mayor is a sack of shit to,he does nothing to end the high crime and gang violence in LA,400$mil could have been used to crackdown on gangs and drug dealers,but instead it's used on some gay ass school.

  • That is a shocking disgraceful amount of money to spend building a school. No doubt though the building cost 40 mil and the rest went to advisors. Its just the same in the UK

    In my area 14 schools are closing because the inept and corrupt council are short of 22 million despite the fact that every citizen pays 150 pounds council tax a month which is supposed to pay for stuff like schools. The kids all 4000+ of them will now bunk up with all the other kids at the overstretched schools.

  • i see you feel strongly... on everything

  • GO GET EM BOB!!!

  • I also want to add that many teachers today aren't teachers to begin with. Many of them are either mathematicians or scientists who couldn't find work in their fields so they go into education and don't take the same classes as the real teachers. I call them posers, fake teachers who think they care, but they don't. They do it because they need a job, rather than doing it because they enjoy it. For me the best teachers are the ones who enjoy it and kids can feel that, thus they want to learn.

  • There are countries where they educate the kids in shacks and they come out smarter than the kids in these fancy schools in the US. Why? More money put into supplies, books, and things that are actually needed, like good pay for teachers. There are good teachers in the US, but majority aren't and I can't blame them. They're paid like shit. I mean you get paid regardless, so why bust your ass if you're not recognized for a job well done.

  • This is why I say please, thank you and do a little conversation with the workers at restaurants, even at fast food places. People tend to forget that their people too and they too deserve some recognition for making our lives a little bit better. When people are thanked and appreciated, they'll work and be the best they can be, but when people are ignored they could careless thus why people complain about the service and the food. Be nice and they'll treat you right, plus free extra fries. :)

  • It's Tupac Shakur, but everyone's right on youtube...

  • This is what happens when you spend other peoples money.

  • $400 million is just what they are gonna steal from the project budget...

  • That's crazy. I found out Bob's on Veoh too by doing a Google search for this school.

  • what they should do is pay the teachers more, subsidize supplies so the teachers don't have to pay out of their own pockets, and reduce class size. to pay for it take the money out of the billions of dollars that are going to fortify another country's infrastructure and security (Iraq). take care of your own needs before you take care of a whole other countries needs. durrr!

  • In the land of make believe that would be true, but we're in the real world which is full of stupid people with no common sense.

    "Common sense isn't so common."

    I do like your idea, unfortunately it'll never happen. :~(

  • dam thats sick, your the best BOB keep reporting.

  • whats next, whats next, whats next.... um....... some moron shouting his head off and looking like agressive ass rapist. In his short sleeved shirt?

  • Or, some homo with a gay rapper's left nut in his mouth. AKA Twopecshaker

  • You mean Tupac Shaker.... Not two pec shaker...... whats next? whats next? someone with some brains? *heavy breathing*

  • they will bus kids from compton in and the 400 million dollar school will be trashed in about 5 years.

  • if use ever see me do a video like that an put it on youtube please slap me

  • $400 million to build a school? Blimey. Maybe years from now it will be classed as one of the wonders of the world.

  • Right on Bob!!!!
