00:01:49.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:57.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:59.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:08.000 That's why we are here.
00:02:11.000 You may have heard that I am recently married, and every married man knows that while it's the greatest gift, it's also a big change.
00:02:17.000 I'm joyfully adjusting all the habits I've formed as a single man all the way down to my sleep schedule.
00:02:23.000 One part of this married man's routine will remain exactly the same, though. 0.55
00:02:26.000 Want to guess what it is?
00:02:27.000 Every night before I go to bed, I take two capsules of magnesium breakthrough by bio-optimizers.
00:02:32.000 Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking any old generic synthetic magnesium pills.
00:02:37.000 I only take magnesium breakthrough.
00:02:39.000 Why, simply put, there are seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:02:42.000 By leveraging all seven forms in each capsule, I'm able to experience magnesium's deep restorative sleep benefits.

00:03:17.000 Hello, we are here from Dallas, Texas at the Young Women's Leadership Summit.
00:03:21.000 Brought to you by Turning Point USA and our amazing team.
00:03:24.000 We'll have 2,500 young conservative women from all across the country here in Dallas, Texas, the largest event of its kind.
00:03:31.000 It's been amazing seeing it grow throughout the years.
00:03:33.000 It started as, I think it was 75 young conservative women.
00:03:38.000 That was in June of 2015, six years ago.
00:03:43.000 And now we are here in Dallas at a very big resort with 2,500 attendees.
00:03:49.000 Only in America is a story like that possible.
00:03:52.000 So last night, I decided to do what I have been telling you to do.
00:03:58.000 Last night, I decided to show up to a school board meeting.
00:04:02.000 Like you, I have been really upset about the rise of critical race theory in our country.
00:04:07.000 Like you, I have been upset there has not been enough dramatic action to call out the administrators, the teachers, and the school boards that have allowed this insidious and racist ideology to be taught to our children.
00:04:20.000 And so living basically out of a suitcase, but spending a lot of time in Arizona and paying a lot in Arizona income tax and employing a lot of people in Arizona, I felt a moral obligation to show up to a school board meeting.
00:04:34.000 So I did a little bit of research and someone who listens to this podcast or maybe listens to us on AM960 The Patriot sent me some information about how Chandler Unified School District was putting forward equity programs, about how Chandler Unified School District was putting forward these programs that were teaching children to hate themselves and hate the country.
00:04:59.000 Now, it was very interesting.
00:05:00.000 I'm going to walk through the entire narrative of what happened last evening.
00:05:05.000 Because every single person who is out there and is uncertain about what their children are learning that might be angry about what's happening in the education that your tax dollars are going towards, you need to hear what I went through last night.
00:05:21.000 Because there's nothing special about what I did last night.
00:05:23.000 I'm not doing this as some sort of self-congratulatory exercise.
00:05:28.000 I'm doing this to demonstrate a point.
00:05:30.000 I'm doing this to demonstrate to you that you can show up at school board meetings and you can make a very significant and serious difference.
00:05:41.000 So Chandler Unified School Districts, for those of you that do not know the geography of Phoenix, Chandler is what's called the East Valley.
00:05:49.000 It's near Gilbert, near Mesa, in the southeastern part of Phoenix, not far from Tempe as well.
00:05:55.000 It's not far from our Turning Point USA headquarters.
00:05:58.000 Chandler area is upper middle class.
00:06:00.000 It's somewhat diverse, but it would be best described as a regularly sleepy part of Arizona.
00:06:08.000 For them to be putting forward these sort of equity measures is bizarre and unusual.
00:06:12.000 So it started last evening.
00:06:13.000 Let me just tell you from my arrival.
00:06:16.000 Here's the first lesson that I learned about school boards.
00:06:19.000 They love to have arbitrary rules and administer them for reasons to try to prevent discourse, dialogue, or disagreement.
00:06:27.000 These people worship process.
00:06:30.000 They live for process.
00:06:32.000 If you go a minute over your allotted speaking time, they will bring in the SWAT team.
00:06:37.000 And so you had to get there at a very specific time and sign in at a very specific time and fill out your name and your placard.
00:06:43.000 And to give the Chandler Unified School District credit, they allowed that process to unfold.
00:06:49.000 They allowed me to register and they allowed me to get a certificate to actually speak.
00:06:54.000 There were a lot of parents there.
00:06:56.000 So as we were waiting, it was only 111 degrees outside or whatever it was in Phoenix.
00:07:00.000 I think it was like 105 yesterday.
00:07:01.000 The energy and the enthusiasm amongst the parents that were waiting to try to speak against critical race theory was an energy that was organic that I have not seen since the Tea Party movement in 2010.
00:07:12.000 I kid you not, there were 70 and 80 year old grandmothers that were coming with homemade signs that just say no to critical race theory.
00:07:21.000 There were people with their own homemade shirts that say, my tax dollars will not fund hate.
00:07:26.000 Now, it was very obvious who was trying to argue in favor of the critical race theory racist ideology.
00:07:32.000 They were all wearing two masks and they stood at least 35 feet away from everyone.
00:07:37.000 God bless them for being there.
00:07:38.000 They have a right to talk about how awful their ideas are too.
00:07:42.000 And so eventually they allowed us in and my friend James T. Harris, who's also a local radio show host on a wonderful station in Phoenix, was also there.
00:07:50.000 And they let us in at a very specific time and you had to sit in a specific chair and you walk in and then the school board is sitting all there.
00:07:57.000 Now, the dynamics of the room, I think, are intentionally intimidating.
00:08:01.000 What they do is they have the school board elevated up about six or eight feet above you.
00:08:06.000 You're not at eye level.
00:08:07.000 No, it's almost as if you're testifying in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:08:11.000 And if I were to make one aesthetic difference, aesthetic is not the right word, structural difference to how school boards are laid out.
00:08:18.000 No school board member should be sitting above the people that pay their salary.
00:08:22.000 You see, very few people would actually notice this, but when you walk into the room, they're sitting, you have to, your eye levels are about at a 45-degree level.
00:08:29.000 It's intentionally trying to be as if you're being interrogated.
00:08:32.000 I am above you because I am on the school board.
00:08:35.000 Now, I noticed this and it didn't phase me, but you could see a lot of the parents that were there to speak were a little bit nervous.
00:08:42.000 And I have to say, the parents who spoke yesterday in Chandler were so courageous.
00:08:46.000 They were so clear.
00:08:48.000 I was blown away by how phenomenal their arguments were.
00:08:54.000 And so then comes the point for public comment.
00:08:57.000 And the public comment time comes, and the woman, who seemed like a nice enough person, but she was doing the bidding of the teacher unions and the critical race theorists, she goes on this diatribe.
00:09:07.000 And this was so ironically poetic, I couldn't have made it up.
00:09:12.000 She says, you know, in this school district, we are not going to be discussing critical race theory tonight, and we aren't teaching critical race theory.
00:09:20.000 So some of you might be confused.
00:09:22.000 And I kind of chuckled because I know exactly what they're teaching at Chandler because parents have decided to do the four letters that can break the back of tyranny in America, F-O-I-A, Freedom of Information Act.
00:09:34.000 So we had the goods on them despite them lying to the taxpayers of Arizona.
00:09:40.000 So this woman goes on there and then a state representative gets invited up to speak and I don't remember her name and she only had a minute and she said, thank you so much to this wonderful school district for all the great work you're doing.
00:09:52.000 I am here to just reinforce that we want to continue to have equitable treatment.
00:09:57.000 And she said equity three times.
00:09:58.000 I just smiled and everyone around me smiled because there they are saying that they don't have critical race theory and then they are using one of the words that is embedded in critical race theory, this word equity.
00:10:09.000 You see, what they're doing here is no different than money laundering.
00:10:12.000 They're doing linguistic laundering.
00:10:14.000 They're taking a word and making that word not mean that original definition anymore and saying, well, we don't have critical race theory.
00:10:20.000 We just teach exactly what critical race theory is, but we don't call it that.
00:10:23.000 And the parents were on to them.
00:10:25.000 I got to tell you, there is nothing like a ferocious mother who then screams at a school board mother because their child is being taught to hate themselves because of the color of their skin.
00:10:34.000 It was magical.
00:10:35.000 And so public comment began.
00:10:37.000 And I want to play you some tape from that public comment throughout this hour.
00:10:40.000 And I'm going to play you my speech as well.
00:10:42.000 But before I get to that, I just want to reinforce this point.
00:10:46.000 These school board members looked intimidated.
00:10:49.000 They looked scared, and they should be.
00:10:52.000 My favorite part of the evening is when one of the people that had the opening comment after the Pledge of Allegiance, they said, we're not really used to having this many people show up.
00:11:01.000 And I smiled.
00:11:02.000 I said, of course not.
00:11:03.000 Because all of your dirty deeds have been done in the cover of darkness.
00:11:07.000 No one's actually been here when we gave you the trust.
00:11:10.000 We gave you the millions of dollars.
00:11:12.000 We gave you the authority.
00:11:13.000 And now you're going to have to do this while we look you in the eye.
00:11:17.000 You see, they're used to being able to have their treachery and their deception, their dual-mindedness, their lack of integrity.
00:11:26.000 They are not used to the word that the American system allows for, but too often citizens have not allowed, have not used, and that is accountability.
00:11:35.000 And they only allowed 25 people into the meeting, and there were hundreds of people outside that wanted to go into the meeting.
00:11:42.000 Hundreds.
00:11:43.000 And if we would have turned on the Jets, we could have probably had 1,000 people there.
00:11:47.000 At a school board meeting when it's 105 degrees outside in Chandler, Arizona, there's something happening here.
00:11:54.000 I'm going to play you some of this tape throughout the hour where parents and citizens and taxpayers are saying, I'm not going to take it anymore.
00:12:00.000 The new terrain and the new battleground is in school boards across the country.
00:12:05.000 And I could tell you, based on my frontline report yesterday, we got them on defense big time.
00:12:14.000 It's a day to celebrate for many Americans, but Father's Day hurts if you don't have a father.
00:12:18.000 In fact, many bad outcomes in America are driven because a father is not in the home.
00:12:23.000 A powerful new film, The Streets Were My Father, features the journey of three inner-city Chicago men.
00:12:23.000 But there's hope.
00:12:29.000 It's a story of fatherlessness, gang life, prison life, and the power of God to change lives and transform lives.
00:12:35.000 To see this important and inspirational film, go to salemnow.com.
00:12:40.000 It's a film that will move you and change lives.
00:12:43.000 Go to salemnow.com.
00:12:45.000 That's salemnow.com.
00:12:46.000 It's a terrific film.
00:12:48.000 Salemnow.com.
00:12:52.000 So I'm going through last night when I showed up at the Chandler Unified School District.
00:12:57.000 So producer Connor got there early and we had it all.
00:12:59.000 I just got to say, the parents that helped the entire thing happen is absolutely inspiring.
00:13:05.000 And I didn't know really what to expect or what to get into.
00:13:08.000 And these are process-first people.
00:13:12.000 So you show up and you fill out the card and you're let in and they don't even let everyone in.
00:13:17.000 And the energy was incredible.
00:13:20.000 And as I mentioned, when you look up at the school board, they're seated at least six feet above you.
00:13:25.000 So you have to look up to them and they look down to you as if we are their subjects, as if there's some sort of court, as if there's something largely exceptional about their existence or what they do.
00:13:36.000 I think that whole model needs to be completely abolished.
00:13:39.000 They should look eye-level.
00:13:40.000 In fact, if there's anyone who should be looking down at them, it should be us because we fund them.
00:13:45.000 And so it goes through this entire diatribe where they lied to their taxpayers.
00:13:49.000 They're saying, oh, well, we don't have critical race theory.
00:13:51.000 We don't have any sort of this training in our schools.
00:13:55.000 Let me tell you what's happening.
00:13:56.000 The reason why we showed up, not just because I wanted to learn for myself, not just because I've been telling you guys, our audience, to do this.
00:14:05.000 And I never want to tell you guys to do something I'm not willing to do myself.
00:14:08.000 One of my biggest critiques and criticisms is talk show hosts that say, oh, all this stuff has to happen.
00:14:14.000 And then they just kind of disappear.
00:14:15.000 I want to be in the trenches with you guys.
00:14:17.000 That's part of what makes our program different.
00:14:19.000 That's what we do every single day at Turning Point USA.
00:14:21.000 So it's Chandler Unified School District.
00:14:24.000 This woman, again, she seemed like a nice enough person. 0.90
00:14:27.000 She went through this diatribe of how they don't have critical race theory in their schools. 1.00
00:14:34.000 And then they have this legislature come up and say, I'm so glad you guys have all this equity training.
00:14:38.000 Like, okay, well, that's a big, incredibly ironic.
00:14:43.000 Let me just read for you just a couple of the seminars that happened last week at Chandler Unified School District.
00:14:49.000 How about this?
00:14:50.000 Addressing implicit bias for student excellence.
00:14:53.000 So what do those two words, implicit bias, mean?
00:14:57.000 Implicit bias comes from this idea of critical race theory.
00:15:03.000 Implicit stereotyping or implicit bias or having a pre-reflective attribution of particular qualities has never been proven.
00:15:12.000 It's never been proven through any sort of clitical, psychological data.
00:15:16.000 It is completely speculative.
00:15:19.000 Now, the most famous implicit bias test came from Harvard, and then UCLA did one.
00:15:24.000 But implicit bias is essentially saying we can map the unconscious.
00:15:29.000 We can map that which we cannot fully understand is purely and completely speculative.
00:15:36.000 It is not based on data.
00:15:37.000 So this idea is that if you are a white person, whether you realize it or not, you're actually a racist.
00:15:42.000 Your existence, your speech, your decisions are all being driven by a power grab.
00:15:47.000 This is what they are doing, addressing implicit bias, implicit bias for student excellence.
00:15:52.000 They're teaching that at the Chandler Unified School Districts.
00:15:55.000 How about this one?
00:15:56.000 Our world, our youth, engaging students in social justice through service learning.
00:16:01.000 Now, any of you that know those two words, social justice, you know, those two words are linguistically laundered for the purpose of putting forward equity training.
00:16:10.000 We're going to get to equity in the next segment and where this comes from.
00:16:12.000 How about this one?
00:16:13.000 Want to create systemic change, change your leadership thinking?
00:16:16.000 Hold on.
00:16:17.000 Since when does the school system of the United States, or Chandler, which is a largely used to be conservative area, since when is it the mission statement of a school system to get their children to want to create systemic change?
00:16:30.000 How about this?
00:16:32.000 This is what the mission statement of Chandler Unified School District should be: We want our children to be able to read, do math, basic arithmetic, and develop people of strong character.
00:16:43.000 Want to create systemic change?
00:16:45.000 Do you know what that really is after the words have been linguistically laundered?
00:16:49.000 How do we create angry activists at Chandler Unified School District?
00:16:54.000 That's what that means.
00:16:56.000 How about this one?
00:16:57.000 It's all about culturally responsive strategies, effective strategies for engaging historically marginalized students.
00:17:05.000 They're so careful in the words that they use.
00:17:07.000 So then they say, Well, you see, we had a and they literally called it a CUSD summer equity symposium.
00:17:14.000 That word equity keeps on emerging time and time again.
00:17:20.000 Equity is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
00:17:22.000 It is a Trojan horse.
00:17:23.000 It is an Orwellian new speak tactic, a friendly enough sounding word designed to deceive and gaslight parents into comfortable complacency.
00:17:35.000 And in the next segment, I'm going to play you exactly what was said by myself because I had a chance to speak and from other parents who are now pushing back against this cultural blitzkrieg from people that want to fundamentally transform America.
00:17:53.000 When running a business, HR issues can kill you.
00:17:56.000 Wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations, and more.
00:18:00.000 HR manager salaries are never cheap.
00:18:02.000 They're an average of $70,000 a year.

00:18:50.000 The new front lines to take back America are in the school boards.
00:18:55.000 I went last night to speak at a school board more than anything else to demonstrate and to prove to you that anyone can do this.
00:19:02.000 So here's what I learned: they will try to intimidate you through process.
00:19:05.000 So do your research.
00:19:07.000 They work for you.
00:19:08.000 Number two, go with other people.
00:19:10.000 Come with them and just don't go alone.
00:19:15.000 Get there early, is what I also learned, right, Producer Connor?
00:19:18.000 Get there early.
00:19:19.000 You got to block off a lot of time.
00:19:22.000 And even though you pay their salaries, does not mean that if you do not follow their arbitrary and particular and specific process, does not mean that they're going to let you in.
00:19:30.000 And then once you get an opportunity to speak, once you get an opportunity to let your voice be heard, let it rip.
00:19:38.000 The floor is yours.
00:19:39.000 Now they only gave every single person a minute, and I tried to fit as much as I possibly could into my minute.
00:19:48.000 So let me just play you some of the other clips that were happening throughout the evening.
00:19:52.000 Parent after parent, including students, came up and spoke against equity and critical race theory.
00:19:57.000 And if you're listening to this, maybe you're on WABC in New York City and you're driving right now on Fifth Avenue, or maybe you're in Long Island, or maybe your child goes to Jericho High School.
00:20:06.000 And you say, man, I want to be able to do that.
00:20:08.000 You can.
00:20:09.000 That's what I wanted to prove.
00:20:10.000 And guess what? 0.99
00:20:11.000 For all of you tyrants out there that are on school boards, I'm going to start randomly popping up at school boards all across the country.
00:20:17.000 Maybe you are at District 214 in the suburbs of Chicago and you think you can pay teachers $144,000 a year, which they pay them, by the way, and keep schools closed and mandatory vaccines and masks on and push forward equity.
00:20:30.000 And I used to go to District 214 when kids didn't talk about race and people got along rather well together.
00:20:36.000 Maybe I might show up at that school district.
00:20:38.000 Maybe I might show up in Carmel, Indiana.
00:20:40.000 Maybe I might show up in Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:20:43.000 Maybe I might show up in Fort Collins.
00:20:44.000 You know, you never know.
00:20:46.000 Maybe it might be Peoria, Arizona.
00:20:47.000 Maybe it might be Litchfield, Arizona.
00:20:49.000 You guys can do this too.
00:20:50.000 There is nothing magical or special about what I'm doing.
00:20:53.000 I just happen to look up online where it is, and I blocked off my calendar and I had to basically take a red eye to be here today in Dallas.
00:21:00.000 But it was worth it.
00:21:01.000 And I learned a lot.
00:21:02.000 And I want to just play you a little bit of the flavor and the spice and the energy, the enthusiasm, the organic, robust momentum that I am seeing on the ground floor of parents that are rising up and they are saying, I will not have my child learn these insidious ideas.
00:21:19.000 Let's play this one.
00:21:22.000 Let's play Cut 66 of a parent speaking against critical race theory at the Chandler School Board, saying, Quote, We do not want people to succeed by taking from one to give to another.
00:21:31.000 And that in the real world, you do not get a raise just because you earn it.
00:21:34.000 Now, this parent, God bless this parent, because it's so intimidating to speak there because you have these, quite honestly, narcissists that are literally six feet above you and they just stare at you, right, Connor?
00:21:47.000 They got the scowl.
00:21:48.000 It's so intimidating.
00:21:50.000 So God bless these parents for doing that.
00:21:52.000 It's not easy, but you can do it too. 1.00
00:21:54.000 Cut 66.
00:21:56.000 Good evening, everyone.
00:21:57.000 I'm Christine Scanlon.
00:21:59.000 I am the parent of two CUSD students.
00:22:02.000 A wise person once told me to remember that I am my child's only advocate.
00:22:06.000 I am the person who's going to stand up and stand behind them always.
00:22:09.000 Well, this is the time now.
00:22:11.000 I am no longer going to sit and be silent and stay away.
00:22:15.000 This is my first board meeting.
00:22:16.000 Probably many more to come.
00:22:19.000 While you talk about how critical race theory is not being discussed or implemented in the schools, you can call it critical race theory, deep equity, social-emotional learning.
00:22:30.000 It's all the same.
00:22:31.000 They're just synonyms.
00:22:32.000 30 seconds.
00:22:35.000 Do you want all our children to succeed?
00:22:37.000 Absolutely.
00:22:38.000 Do we want them to achieve this by taking one to give to, you know, to give to another?
00:22:43.000 Absolutely not.
00:22:45.000 Everyone has the right to an education.
00:22:47.000 It's what they do with it that counts.
00:22:49.000 In the real world, there are no participation trophies.
00:22:52.000 You are, sorry, I'm nervous.
00:22:56.000 You did not receive a raise or promotion just because you must earn it.
00:22:59.000 Well said.
00:23:00.000 So there are a bunch of parents that showed up on their own time, and a lot of them said, I've never been to a meeting before.
00:23:05.000 And again, I want to reiterate this point.
00:23:06.000 One of the board members, she said, we're not used to having this many people show up.
00:23:11.000 Of course not.
00:23:12.000 What is done in darkness will come to light.
00:23:15.000 And this entire school board system was built on one word.
00:23:20.000 And that word is trust.
00:23:22.000 The common denominator of every single parent that spoke at Chandler Unified School District last night was that we trusted you.
00:23:29.000 We gave you money.
00:23:30.000 We gave you power.
00:23:31.000 We let you do this.
00:23:32.000 And I was going to soccer practice or going grocery shopping or raising my kids.
00:23:35.000 And I wasn't showing up to these meetings.
00:23:37.000 And you abused that trust.
00:23:39.000 You abused that trust because you thought that you knew better than us, that you could bring in these ideas without alarming, not alarming, alerting us.
00:23:47.000 A young student spoke last night.
00:23:49.000 Let's go to Cut 69.
00:23:50.000 And this needs to happen.
00:23:52.000 Parents, if your kids are being educated, bring the students because it's a showstopper.
00:23:58.000 Cut 69.
00:23:59.000 My name is Hiram Wilkins, and you just saw my mom talk.
00:24:05.000 I think that going to school is, I'm supposed to be learning English, writing, math, like to help me for my future, and learning gender and sex, and all that stuff is up to my mom.
00:24:19.000 And I think that I doubt, I don't think that the CRT is correct.
00:24:29.000 I don't think that should be taught in schools.
00:24:31.000 I have cousins who are black and white, and that doesn't change who they are or like it doesn't make them worse or better.
00:24:41.000 God bless that kid for speaking.
00:24:45.000 Another clip I want to play here.
00:24:47.000 Let's play Cut 67.
00:24:49.000 Most kids are just that kids.
00:24:51.000 They are not racist just because of the color of their skin they were born with.
00:24:54.000 It is racist in itself to even make that accusation.
00:24:58.000 Why would we accuse them all of cruelty to children of another color and make them go through training when a majority of them never spent a day in their life looking at others as anything different than themselves?
00:25:09.000 We should also go through, should we also go through nerd training?
00:25:13.000 I know plenty of kids who are bullied and harassed every day for not conforming to the social norm.
00:25:18.000 Should we go through band geek training for the kid who gets made fun of for carrying his tuba across class or the campus?
00:25:26.000 Where does it start?
00:25:27.000 Where does it end?
00:25:28.000 You can tell people to be kind, but you can't control everyone's thoughts and actions.
00:25:32.000 As a whole, our kids are resilient, smart, kind, and accepting.
00:25:35.000 Equity training and critical race theory are teaching them to hate one another.
00:25:39.000 Just as the board hates certain members of the group that attend their meetings, the board is teaching hate and divisiveness, calling parents words such as homophobe and transphobe and racist. 0.99
00:25:50.000 This woman is exactly right. 0.94
00:25:52.000 That mother is spot on. 1.00
00:25:55.000 Do we need sensitivity training for anyone that gets bullied for having a high IQ? 1.00
00:25:59.000 We need nerd sensitivity training because that's a top probably form of bullying that's out there.
00:26:04.000 And so then I had a chance to talk.
00:26:06.000 And I got to tell you, doing radio with you guys and having Mr. Gordon in the ear, one minute, 30 seconds, it was very helpful for the one minute of testimony that I had at the Champion Unified School District yesterday.
00:26:17.000 So I got to say, being able to say a lot in a short period of time and land the plane, as we say, it's almost as if I've been practicing for the last nine months for this.
00:26:26.000 So it was, I was able to say a lot in a short period of time.
00:26:29.000 I will say this.
00:26:29.000 I got a little bit, I got fired up, but I think it was righteous indignation because these people were lying.
00:26:36.000 I wasn't yelling, but I was definitely trying to raise the intensity level.
00:26:40.000 And this video is going viral on Instagram.
00:26:42.000 It's on pace to hit, what, 700,000, 800,000 views.
00:26:45.000 It's almost at a half a million right now.
00:26:46.000 We're going to get this on YouTube.
00:26:48.000 And I want you to listen to this in full.
00:26:50.000 And if you're watching on YouTube or Rumble, you guys can go back in the feed.
00:26:53.000 We can't play the clips.
00:26:53.000 And I apologize.
00:26:55.000 That's how it is today.
00:26:56.000 Let's play Cut 70, which I had a chance to speak at this school board.
00:27:00.000 Again, I'm no one special.
00:27:02.000 Anyone can show up here.
00:27:03.000 I'm only playing this clip so you can hear the argument that I make.
00:27:06.000 And then, you know what?
00:27:06.000 If you're listening on WABC, we just got an email from a listener from WABC, freedom at charliekirk.com, or maybe you're listening in Spokane, Washington, or in Vegas, or you're listening in Dallas or Atlanta, maybe in Riverside, AM560 or AM960.
00:27:17.000 And you say, you know what?
00:27:18.000 If Charlie Kirk can do it, I can do it.
00:27:20.000 That's the point I was trying to make last night.
00:27:22.000 Cut 70.
00:27:23.000 Good evening.
00:27:24.000 I'm an Arizona taxpayer and employer of over 100 people in this state.
00:27:27.000 I'm disgusted that you are lying to the citizens of this state and the people that pay your salaries.
00:27:33.000 You say critical race theory is not in the school district, and then moments later, you have someone come up and use that word, equity.
00:27:40.000 Just last week, the CUSD Summer Equity Symposium was held, and it was, quote, to create systemic change, change your leadership thinking.
00:27:49.000 How about addressing implicit bias for student excellence?
00:27:52.000 If you know anything, just a little bit about where these ideas and these phrases come from, you know that this school is stomping on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
00:28:01.000 This is a racist, vile, and evil ideology that has infected this once great school district.
00:28:07.000 I implore every single member of the school board to actually learn what you are supporting.
00:28:12.000 Equity means redistribution. 0.97
00:28:14.000 If you care about skin color, you are a racist.
00:28:18.000 That is a bigoted and awful idea. 0.64
00:28:19.000 It is against who we are as Americans.
00:28:21.000 I implore this school district to reconsider.
00:28:24.000 Thank you.
00:28:25.000 So I tried to fit the most I could into one minute, and there's a lot there that I want to continue to build out and explore to you, and that is that word equity.
00:28:31.000 We get a lot of questions about what is equity?
00:28:34.000 What can I fight against it?
00:28:34.000 So here's what's happening, everybody.
00:28:36.000 We are winning, and we're in kind of a metaphorical war against the racists, the Nicole Hannah-Jones, the Nathan Bedford Forrest, the John C. Calhouns, the KKK types that are educating your children.
00:28:48.000 And so then they decide that they're going to change their words.
00:28:51.000 So we're on to them.
00:28:52.000 So they went from critical race theory and racial sensitivity trading, and they linguistically laundered it no different than Marty Bird in the show Ozark.
00:29:00.000 And all of a sudden it comes out as equity.
00:29:02.000 Well, now we're smarter than that.
00:29:03.000 And we're going to dive into where did this word equity come from?
00:29:06.000 Well, it came from a singular essay in 1968.
00:29:08.000 And it said, social equity for systemic change.
00:29:11.000 And my friend James Lindsay, who's amazing, author of the book Cyndical Theories, actually called them on the way to the school board.
00:29:17.000 His IQ, I actually think, is 285.
00:29:19.000 He's one of the smartest people I've ever met in my entire life, and he's got courage, and he's doing something about it.
00:29:23.000 I love James Lindsay.
00:29:25.000 And he walked me all through.
00:29:28.000 I knew a lot about equity and where it came from, but he just blew my mind with just five or six levels deeper of that.
00:29:33.000 And I want to tell you where that is because it's very important.
00:29:36.000 Because what I saw last night is what's going to happen next.
00:29:42.000 So trust is one of my favorite words in the English language.
00:29:46.000 It's something that we use quite a lot.
00:29:50.000 So the word trust originally comes from an old Norse word, which means troust, which means strong when you fall.
00:30:01.000 Basically, it comes from this idea that to make one strong and safe or to rely on.
00:30:07.000 We have trusted our school boards and our education system to people we thought had our best intentions at heart.
00:30:16.000 But similar to a virus that was in our country before we realized it, these school boards were infected by parasites who wished to teach your children a series of ideologies that are so harmful to who we are as Americans.
00:30:31.000 Ronald Reagan famously said, trust, but verify.
00:30:35.000 William Shakespeare probably had the best quote on trust.
00:30:39.000 Don't trust the person who has broken faith once.
00:30:43.000 Well, that's exactly what's happened with these school boards.
00:30:45.000 And the common through line is these parents that are testifying and they're rising up is it's that parents trusted these administrators and school board members were teaching and doing the ethical and moral right thing.
00:30:58.000 And this real energy and enthusiasm that I have not seen since the Tea Party movement and parts of the Trump movement, but this is different.
00:31:05.000 This is just so organic and it's so focused.
00:31:08.000 It's focused on very specific action is something that I think must be harnessed for the better.
00:31:15.000 One of the parents last night at Chandler Unified School District said, Chandler Unified School District has lost 2,000 students in the last year.
00:31:23.000 People are voting with their feet.
00:31:25.000 People are saying, I'm not going to send my kids to these schools anymore, these government schools.
00:31:30.000 And you could do that too.
00:31:31.000 But you know what's so amazing?
00:31:33.000 These parents that have pulled their kids out of these schools were still showing up to speak.
00:31:37.000 Because they said, as long as I exist and I pay taxes, even though my kids are no longer in the school district, I care about the well-being of the other kids and I care about the well-being of our nation.
00:31:45.000 And so even if you do not have kids in the school system, even if you do not have kids currently in Chandler Unified or Peoria or in Scottsdale, you should still show up.
00:31:55.000 Now they try to find a reason on process to try to discontinue these meetings.
00:32:00.000 But I can tell you that when these tyrants and these autocrats and these sociopathic, unimpressive, hyper-aggressive administrators who sit on these boards actually have to look at the white in your eyes and not just read some angry email, things will change.
00:32:18.000 There was an unmistakable message sent to Chandler yesterday, which is, if you keep this up, we are not going to stay off your case.
00:32:25.000 If you keep this up, we are not going to stop showing up.
00:32:28.000 We're not going to stop protesting.
00:32:29.000 We're not going to stop putting up signs.
00:32:31.000 And one of the parents yesterday, this sweet guy, he said, you know what?
00:32:34.000 I just came from the Chandler Unified Administrative Office and I spent six hours there.
00:32:40.000 And I filled out a FOIA request form for every single employee in Chandler Unified School District.
00:32:46.000 In fact, another parent testified yesterday.
00:32:47.000 I think we got that thumb drive, didn't we?
00:32:50.000 We get that thumb drive.
00:32:51.000 This other parent said, I had, I spent seven months getting every single email and curriculum in Chandler.
00:32:57.000 They wouldn't, they said I had to bring my own printer.
00:33:01.000 Literally, this is the type of process stuff.
00:33:02.000 So he comes in with his own printer to the school district and he has every piece of curriculum.
00:33:07.000 And I can tell you right now on charliekirk.com, we are exclusively going to break all of it.
00:33:13.000 Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
00:33:15.000 Democracy dies in darkness, as some paper would say.
00:33:18.000 What is done under the cover of night and treachery and what serpents do will not survive and thrive as long as there are people that believe in truth and bring those things to light.
00:33:28.000 And that's where you come in.
00:33:29.000 And that's why this summer, the summer of victory, as we push back against mandatory vaccines and push for transparency in our elections and push for transparency and action in our school boards, real action, I'm telling you right now, they are worried.
00:33:42.000 They are worried that real people that never have been involved in this sort of thing called politics before are starting to have energy and enthusiasm.
00:33:51.000 And this is something we can win.
00:33:52.000 And it is the most important fight.
00:33:54.000 The fight for our school boards is the future of our children.
00:33:57.000 The fight for our school boards is a fight for our morals and our values and our country.
00:34:02.000 And we're going to win.
00:34:06.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
