00:00:50.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:19.000We don't publish a blueprint because, you know, just like any football coach doesn't give the other team his playbook.
00:02:25.000We work hundreds and hundreds of hours and we spend hundreds of hours on the phone coaching local communities on how to run campaigns, how to recruit candidates and how to win their school boards back.
00:02:37.000And Charlie, you and I go back before the Patriot Mobile Action in South Lake, Texas, which is the city that's making education news in Texas this week.
00:02:47.000You came in when we formed South Lake Families and South Lake Carol ISD was one of the first communities to fight back against the critical race theory.
00:03:53.000We need to start a movement of courage and of conviction.
00:03:57.000And so then talk about what happens once you win, because sometimes people say, well, it's one thing to win the school boards.
00:04:02.000It's another thing to actually implement change.
00:04:05.000Talk about what Patriot Mobile Action is doing to actually fight for virtue and parents' rights once you're able to win these school boards.
00:04:15.000One of the first important points is this is never a one and done.
00:04:18.000This is every year, every election, it will never end.
00:04:22.000The second we take our eye off the ball, the liberals will control the majorities again.
00:04:27.000And this, there are several examples in the state of Texas.
00:04:30.000And the biggest one this week is the South Lake Carroll Independent School Board trustees voted Monday night to leave the Texas Association of School Boards, the woke TASB.
00:04:43.000TASB was one of the late levers of the national where the moms and dads are targeted.
00:04:53.000Where they wrote a letter to Biden calling moms and dads who were simply exercising their First Amendment rights to speak out at the public comments section of school board meetings, literally calling parents domestic terrorists and saying that they were committing hate crimes for speaking out against the racist critical race theory.
00:05:14.000So the fact that it took TASB a little over eight months, almost a year to leave the National School Board Association after this, that was one of the reasons the Carol ISD trustees cited in their resolution to non-renew their membership with the Texas Association of School Boards.
00:05:32.000But that's just that's just one thing.
00:05:34.000It is ironic, Charlie, last May 2022, when there was a rash of conservative victories in school boards across Texas, that two weeks later, TASB left the National Association.
00:05:46.000I don't think that would have happened had we not had all of those victories.
00:05:50.000But they still kept their political, their liberal ideologies.
00:05:54.000For example, September 22, 2022, in one of their conferences where thousands of school board trustees and independent school district superintendents and their high-level administrators come to get educated and they get their continuing ed points and the breakout classes and learning sessions.
00:06:15.000They were holding all kinds of LGBTQ and really woke classes.
00:06:21.000They even brought in an LGBTQ student to talk in over half of one of the classes.
00:06:28.000One of them was run by the Texas ACLU, and it was just still woke training.
00:06:35.000In addition to that, one of the reasons that Carol cited as leaving TASB in their meeting is their lobbying efforts at the state of Texas down in Austin.
00:06:47.000Texas's education funding system is pretty wacky.
00:06:52.000And one of the things Texas implemented is Robin Hood, and that takes away from wealthy districts and gives to poor districts to help equalize the opportunity for public education.
00:07:04.000And while that sounds good, last year, $4 billion was paid into this Robin Hood fund, and only $2 billion could be accounted for.
00:07:12.000Several years ago, one of the poor districts in South Texas was outed for building a $20 million water park with those education funds.
00:07:22.000So we're asking for accountability for the Robin Hood funds.
00:07:25.000But additionally, we're just really congratulating South Lake Carroll for their courage.
00:07:33.000They're one of the first major districts to leave TASB.
00:07:36.000And this is already starting a big buzz and a ripple effect across Texas.
00:07:41.000You know, all of those services that TASB says that they're really providing to school districts, the workers' comp insurance and those kind of things, those are all available on the free market.
00:07:55.000And I think we're going to in Southlake be trailblazers and show the rest of Texas and the rest of America that you do not have to stay under the chains of these woke organizations who do not have your school district, do not hold your teachers or your students' best interests at heart.
00:08:14.000Can you just comment on how the national media came in and they did a series of podcasts and big exposures called Southlake.
00:08:23.000So it was it was a hit piece full of lie after lie after lie.
00:08:27.000You know, in the beginning, a few parents did try to talk to them and try to get, you know, the conservative side out and they just wouldn't have it.
00:08:34.000It was to the point to where even some folks in some gated communities had NBC cars with cameras parked outside.
00:08:42.000You know, one of the liberal neighbors let them in.
00:08:45.000It was really, I mean, honestly, there's no other word to call it than stalking.
00:08:49.000I don't know if you're aware, but CNN walked into my living room and during an event and I escorted them out.
00:08:55.000I used that security cam footage screenshot on my Christmas card.
00:09:06.000And whenever there's anything meaningful happened in a conservative way, for example, this is happening at the North Idaho College right now.
00:09:12.000The New York Times is dispatched there.
00:09:14.000They try to stop this movement by trying to make it seem as if it's radical.
00:09:20.000And just so you understand, there were millions of dollars spent by NBC News.
00:09:25.000And they came in, they came into South Lake, Texas, and they did a series of these podcasts to try to stop this from happening in other communities.
00:10:16.000Check it out right now, relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com.
00:10:22.000So Lee, I want to just take our five minutes here and build this out because this is a playbook they're doing right now, the New York Times, the North Idaho College, where anything that is good and anything that is positive happening on the local level, the national media comes in with really, let's just say, like intimidating tactics, hyper aggressive with people that are not trained in public relations, people that do not want to be labeled as radical, people that are afraid of the national spotlight, understandably.
00:10:51.000And they almost preempt this from spreading.
00:10:54.000So just kind of walk our audience through again.
00:10:57.000You guys helped take over the school board in South Lake.
00:10:59.000Parents are there, but this drew the attention of CNN, NBC News.
00:11:06.000Well, interestingly, the NBC News reporter who, listen, I used to be a journalist, and I don't know what changed, but when I was a journalist and I got my broadcast journalism degree, we were taught to never become the story.
00:11:20.000The reporter who repeatedly attacked us from NBC is now out there doing his own interviews about his awards that he won lying about South Lake, Texas.
00:11:31.000What parents need to know is that they're going to lie about you.
00:14:34.000And I also want to tell private school parents, homeschool parents, that you have a voice and you have a responsibility because 85% of students in America are still in public schools.
00:14:45.000And if you think you're safe because you've protected your kids, your kids are going to be in that 15% minority.
00:14:51.000It is the responsibility of conservatives to engage in all aspects.
00:14:55.000And if you just don't think you can run for school board, we need more courageous, patriotic conservatives to run.
00:15:38.000NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
00:15:45.000And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to provide, to go actually get it to the next level.
00:16:28.000I eat well and do other things as well.
00:16:31.000But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
00:16:38.000I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
00:16:41.000And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
00:16:51.000When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
00:17:07.000I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
00:17:10.000NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
00:22:20.000We have 60s liberalism come in, this postmodern ideas, the kind of sexual revolution.
00:22:29.000But America still seemed to resist a lot of these forces that were trying to take it over.
00:22:37.000And if you had to kind of point a period of time where you think things really went in a wrong direction, would it be the removal of prayer in schools, the war in court, the burger court?
00:22:51.000Or was it a separate, was it a more recent time, maybe after 9-11?
00:22:57.000Well, the whole thing began about 100 years ago.
00:23:04.000Actually, it began with Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel.
00:23:08.000But it actually demonstrably came when John Dewey.
00:23:19.000And the one who designed the Dewey decimal system, that's part of the beginning, and that's about 100 years ago.
00:23:28.000And his idea was that if we change education, we will change our nation.
00:23:35.000And now we've got people that that's been advanced so badly in the last number of years that you have people like Bill Gates and some of these others.
00:23:52.000Globalization is the way it's being handled is totally anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-everything.
00:24:02.000So in the last hundred years, the country is, as we say, has changed.
00:24:11.000Even not just 15 years ago, just 40 or 50 years ago, would it have been even comprehensible to say the Marines would have a belief that men can give birth?
00:25:55.000And in Psalm 139, there's one translation that says, he scheduled every day of your life.
00:26:03.000Ephesians 2, 8, and 9 says, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves.
00:26:10.000It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast, for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before planned that you should walk in them.
00:30:02.000And the only way to get back is to recognize who God is.
00:30:13.000And if you only understood how much he loves you and what he did with his son to pay the price for your sin, it's just a totally different road.
00:30:26.000And we need to spread the word in churches.
00:30:30.000We need to spend the word everywhere we go.
00:30:35.000And the one thing we want not to do is, God, don't say, God, bless my dream.
00:30:44.000Say, God, what is your dream for my life?
00:30:50.000Ed, I'm curious, just how much do you blame the technology and these phones for some of the mess that we're in?
00:31:00.000I think that has quite a lot to do with it.
00:33:26.000And the fathers should be following the concept of a father, and that should lead them to asking their heavenly father to be their guide for the rest of their lives.
