00:03:32.000And I'm just, again, I'm so proud of our students.
00:03:35.000But we got to get to the evil people that Blake referenced and the evil ideologies, which is something, if you haven't heard of it, it's a concept called social murder.
00:03:44.000It's a cousin to something that you hear in modern context called systemic oppression, which basically blames the system, it blames the elites, it blames anybody in a position of Power or influence for what they consider less than ideal circumstances that lead to suffering.
00:04:02.000Okay, every system known to man will create some level of suffering because we live in a fallen world.
00:04:11.000We understand also the Matthew principle that those who have will have even more, and those who have little, even the little they have, will be taken from them.
00:04:17.000Sometimes that's unfortunately the case.
00:04:19.000Now, as Christians, we are called to try and help our brothers and sisters to try and give to them.
00:04:24.000Now, I believe that that should be done privately through the church and through charities and things like that.
00:04:29.000In our modern quasi socialist system, Blake, we tend to give taxes away to the government.
00:04:34.000The government then will have certain programs, whether it be welfare or Medicaid.
00:04:38.000Some states have their own to take care of the least of these.
00:04:42.000Now, we could argue the merits of that, but as Christians, we understand that we have an obligation to take care of the least of these.
00:04:48.000Communists don't believe in God, at least largely, and they tend to blame the system on those who are part of the system.
00:05:50.000I think it would have been quite the event.
00:05:52.000So he's a very big name, but he's very far on the left.
00:05:56.000And right now, on the left, there are elites like the people, Ezra Klein, those individuals, they're debating should we accept this guy into our coalition?
00:06:05.000And that's an important question because of the stuff this guy is arguing.
00:06:09.000He is a radical who will justify violence, and he did it again, this time in front of the New York Times, saying that he understands, or at least a lot of Americans, I think the way he phrased it, to be fair to him, and we'll play the clip, is that a lot of Americans understand the assassination of Luigi Maggioni against Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, because a lot of social murder.
00:06:51.000Engels wrote about the concept of social murder, and Brian Thompson, as the United Healthcare CEO, was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder, the systematized forms of violence, the structural violence of poverty.
00:07:11.000Because of the pervasive pain that the private healthcare system had created for the average American, I saw so many people immediately understand why this death had taken place.
00:07:28.000Okay, first of all, it's not a death that had taken place, it was an assassination, a cold blooded murder of an innocent man.
00:07:36.000And also, just worth pointing, he's quoting Engels.
00:07:39.000Engels is famously the co author of the Communist Manifesto, he's the collaborator.
00:07:43.000He's the also the funder, he's always the guy who.
00:07:46.000When you read the life of the early communists, you start to really understand leftists because you see certain patterns.0.99
00:08:03.000He's totally a classic type that lives on today of being uninformed about the world, champagne socialist, being a bad person individually, and that manifests in politics, that they're bad as individual people, and of course, they end up embracing evil.0.87
00:08:18.000And this is what this Piker guy is doing.0.79
00:08:20.000He's going to say, it's very much a part of leftism to say, actually, I can kill someone that I resent.0.87
00:08:28.000And it's a good thing because I have the right motivation.
00:08:31.000They're actually a bad person because the system that they're a part of murders people, which it doesn't really.
00:08:36.000Brian Thompson's company paid for health care for people.
00:08:39.000Well, and here's the thing you'll see how the history of ideas morph.
00:08:44.000And, you know, Mark Twain, I think, famously said history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
00:08:50.000And you see these ideas from the 18th century or the 19th century in the 1800s morph and weave and come in and out of the public consciousness.
00:09:00.000And then you get a guy like Kassam Piker, who's a gamer who justifies all sorts of evils like micro looting, by the way.
00:09:11.000And by the way, he electrocutes his dog on his stream.
00:09:14.000And he's standing by all the far left Senate candidates.
00:09:21.000The Michigan candidate, the Muslim guy in Michigan who's running for Senate, he's standing by him.
00:09:26.000And so you see these ideas pop up and percolate.0.96
00:09:29.000And this is just the latest iteration, and we have to address it because it is evil and it is vile and it will justify all sorts of atrocities in its name.0.88
00:09:38.000So we're talking about Hassan Piker, who is on the rise.0.55
00:09:40.000He got this interview in the New York Times opinion section as basically leading figure on the left.
00:09:47.000So we talked about they were saying, oh, so I could understand why you'd murder a healthcare CEO because they're an Engaged in social murder.
00:09:54.000Another discussion they had was over this concept of micro looting, as they call it.
00:10:00.000You could also just call it stealing, you could call it shoplifting.
00:10:03.000And what he said, I don't think we have the video, but I have the quote.
00:10:06.000He says, I am pro stealing from big corporations because they steal quite a bit more from their own workers.
00:10:15.000And so he just says, okay, Rob, actually, I think it was his co host who said she would just steal from Whole Foods, she would steal from other places.
00:10:24.000In the same interview, he says some other things.
00:10:40.000And I genuinely think that these are demonic ideologies that he is becoming the mouthpiece for.
00:10:47.000And, you know, unfortunately for us, Charlie predicted a lot of this.
00:10:51.000And we could go all the way back to 2020.
00:10:54.000So again, Hassan Piker is justifying, morally justifying the murder, the cold blooded assassination of Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione, allegedly.
00:11:05.000But Charlie predicted this all the way back in, I guess, 2020.
00:12:04.000People love Luigi on the left, the far radical left.
00:12:10.000And this is going to continue to be a problem.
00:12:15.000The Luigi effect is a serious issue where they believe that they can become a social media martyr for that cause, not just the action itself, but that you then can become the face of the resistance against your said struggle.
00:12:34.000It's almost besides the point to pick at the specific things.
00:12:37.000Oh, this time they're justifying murdering CEOs, this time they're justifying shoplifting.
00:12:42.000The bigger picture thing that you're going to see pop up again and again on the left, everyone knows murder is actually wrong.
00:12:48.000Everyone knows actually it's not okay to steal things.
00:12:51.000Similarly, everyone knows it's not okay to vandalize, destroy things.
00:12:54.000But you see the same thing pop up on the left.
00:12:57.000It is very intoxicating to tell people something that is obviously wrong and evil and predatory, we can justify it through some flimsy ideological pretext.
00:13:18.000It's basically a resentment driven ideology that you can be this freak show who's not as accomplished as you think you deserve to be.
00:13:25.000You're not as high status as you think you deserve to be.
00:13:28.000And you can project this out onto others.
00:13:32.000And so that will justify murder, justifies theft, justifies all sorts of stuff.
00:13:36.000And that's why you see why do left wing marches get violence so often?
00:13:41.000It's not even just, it's not even violence toward an end.
00:13:43.000They'll just burn a store down, they'll smash a window, they'll graffiti some beautiful statue that was put up. 50 years ago.
00:13:51.000It is very much this id, this will to destroy, basically just because something is good or beautiful.
00:13:58.000And I think that's also why you see them, they almost have this like perfect radar or this perfect scent for embracing evil ideas around the world.0.75
00:14:08.000Like, as an example, they love the pro Palestine cause, but it's not even that they love the pro Palestine cause.0.60
00:14:14.000It's that, for example, there was a BLM group in Chicago that was celebrating the people who flew in on hang gliders to that concert where they massacred a bunch of civilians and raped people.
00:14:25.000They tried to turn it into like a flyer and iconic symbol.
00:14:28.000And the left has done that, for example.
00:14:30.000You know, Franz Fanon, who got quoted after that atrocity was committed, they were talking about, they were directly quoting his ideology.0.98
00:14:38.000And he was a guy who said, Rape, raping people is a form of resistance.
00:14:42.000The most evil things imaginable get justified on the left through a political lens.0.96
00:14:49.000And if we don't confront it honestly, this is the tumor that is growing on the left.
00:14:54.000And it's as Charlie warned, they're going to embrace more and more radical means of getting their agenda done.
00:15:01.000We already see this with the war on ICE agents.
00:15:03.000ICE agents are enforcing America's laws for our borders.
00:15:06.000They're saying you can't break into this country.
00:15:09.000And they don't just say we want to change our immigration laws, they say we want to.
00:15:13.000Hunt ice agents, we want to throw them in jail.
00:15:16.000And a lot of them basically say it's justified to murder ice agents.
00:15:19.000The more I think about it, the more I realize that it is this dichotomy between chaos and order.
00:15:27.000God spoke creation into being, He spoke order into being, we read in the scriptures.
00:15:33.000And the agents of chaos want to destroy that order.
00:15:37.000And that's why I think we can't say it enough.
00:15:39.000We are in a spiritual battle because the agents of chaos want.
00:15:43.000To destroy all that is good, true, and beautiful.
00:15:56.000It doesn't mean that we dehumanize the bad guys like they do to us, but it does mean that you need to have your radar highly attuned to understand who is doing what and for what ends, right?
00:16:07.000And so if you see somebody that's building up and is creating, good guy.
00:16:38.000For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for, funding the Christian conservative movement when others stayed silent.
00:18:47.000Like you said, the turnout was amazing.
00:18:49.000The university threw everything they could at us.
00:18:52.000And they didn't outright say you can't have an event, but they.
00:18:58.000Said that we couldn't have people from the outside and believe me when I tell you the Waco community wanted to be there.
00:19:04.000There's a community college down the street and members of their chapter and members of their community reach out to us saying that they wanted to come.
00:19:12.000We had countless alumni reach out to us just asking about attendance for the event and they were unfortunately turned away by the university and it's hard to tell members of the Baylor family, which we like to call anybody who's past or present member of the University Baylor family.
00:19:30.000And it's hard to tell people in the Baylor family that they can't come, but the university had no problem doing that.
00:19:35.000And that's something that I really, really think they're going to feel the pain from that because the donors and the alumni are not happy about it.
00:19:46.000I have zero connection to the Baylor community other than friends.
00:19:50.000And I was talking with Ken Paxton's team because he obviously spoke last night.
00:19:54.000It was just shocking that they wouldn't allow that to happen.
00:19:58.000And by the way, just so we're very clear, they made some statements saying this was originally, this is how it was always originally designed, this event.
00:20:13.000I don't even want to dwell on that, Peter, because you guys pulled off an amazing event.
00:20:17.000But just to be clear, we had 4,500 people from the Waco community, most of them probably alumni of the university.
00:20:26.000And, like you said, other neighboring schools that wanted to be a part of this event.
00:20:30.000And, I mean, it really is tragic because, you know, then they green light this counter protest movement, this inclusive event, trying to kind of sabotage the event.
00:20:41.000You know, and they were claiming some of their decisions were based on security protocols, this and that.
00:20:46.000Well, if you were worried about security, why would you green light an event at the same time with a bunch of people that probably wish us ill and maybe worse?
00:20:59.000First, the event that they had, I'm sure Charlie would agree.
00:21:03.000I have no issue with alternative organizations hosting something on campus.
00:21:06.000In fact, I encourage it because both sides need to be heard.
00:21:10.000But I feel like there's a, A lot of dishonesty behind hosting it on the same day because if you really wanted to make sure that both voices were heard, you'd have their event on one day, which I would love to have attended it by the way, but I couldn't because we had to set up for ours.
00:21:25.000And then we would invite them to ours, and then both sides could be heard by the entire Waco community or the Baylor community.
00:21:32.000But I just think it was dishonest on their part and on the university's part by putting them at the same time because it's like you have to choose one side or the other when it's really not supposed to be about that.
00:21:42.000It's supposed to be about hearing both sides and then.
00:22:51.000There's been a great decline in civil discourse.
00:22:54.000People don't talk about the issues anymore.
00:22:57.000I'm too scared to be judged or canceled.
00:23:00.000So instead, we can find ourselves in a political monolith.
00:23:04.000We surround ourselves with people who think exactly like us.
00:23:08.000And I don't mean we only, I mean everybody.
00:23:11.000I love these clips, Peter, because I can tell that you really believe in the mission, and that is free and open dialogue, open debate, civil debate.
00:23:22.000We opened the show today talking about Hassan Piker, who's promoting an idea called social murder, which is basically you can justify all sorts of terrible, evil.
00:23:32.000You know, things including assassination and murder culture, you here are representing our vision, the turning point vision of open dialogue, Charlie's vision of civil debate, civil discourse, the things that make this country great and have made this country great for now 250 years.
00:24:03.000The point where my, as I said last night, my goal and my role at this university and in this chapter became clear to me was after what happened to Charlie.
00:24:12.000Because the only reason that what happened to him occurred was because people have stopped having those conversations.
00:24:20.00010 years ago, civil discourse was just another thing that happened every day.
00:24:24.000People would talk about the tough issues, but it wouldn't be something that would make you say, I don't want my family at Thanksgiving because they're supporting this candidate.
00:24:32.000And now we're at this point where People don't talk to their family members because they figured out who they voted for.
00:24:39.000And I think that that's probably one of the craziest examples that exists.
00:24:44.000But it really goes down to the fact that people don't talk about the issues anymore.
00:24:49.000Because if we talk about the issues, I find more often than not when we table that even the craziest of liberals, with notable exceptions, will find common ground with them and will shake hands after the conversation and they'll walk away.
00:25:18.000There's this graph that I've thrown up on the show a lot, but it's something that I keep with me, actually.
00:25:27.000It was taken by YouGov and The Economist, September 12th through the 15th, 2025.
00:25:34.000And so this is just a few days after Charlie's murder.
00:25:37.000And I would suspect that even some people that were polled in this probably didn't say exactly what they thought because of the rawness of Charlie's murder.
00:25:49.000So I actually think these numbers would be higher.
00:25:52.000But if you look at that left side of that graph in that blue bubble up at the top, what that reveals is about 29% of 18 to 39 year old self described liberals, progressives, believe it is justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals.
00:26:15.000Almost like one third, essentially, of 18 to 39 year olds believe that violence is justified to achieve political goals.
00:26:22.000What do you think when you see that graph, Peter?
00:26:25.000I think that is the result of spending eight years calling one political ideology Nazis and fascists.
00:26:32.000Because when you label somebody something that's been historically demonized, right?
00:27:42.000I got to say, that's one of the things that doesn't seem to come up too often.
00:27:45.000I know that when we table, we like to mention voting and all that.
00:27:50.000But I do know a few people are really, really excited about getting Cornyn out of there.
00:27:58.000Since he's been there since 2002, which I think is one of the biggest problems we have in our entire government is that people get to sit in Congress for 24 years.
00:28:10.000But I'd say there's not a huge buzz, but people know that it's an important race, especially within our club.
00:28:28.000I don't know, Peter, if you're aware, but.
00:28:30.000Everything that happened in Virginia, which we're going to get into at the top of the next hour with Ken Cuccinelli about what the courts are going to do with the redistricting in Virginia.
00:28:37.000But, you know, there was $100 million spent in the primary, not even the runoff, right?
00:28:44.000So, and it's probably going to tally up to $150, $150 million to attack a Republican in that state.
00:29:06.000The thing that seems to come up more than anything else in conversation is that I've seen files.
00:29:12.000And everybody, anytime that we try to go on to another topic, and we will, we'll get productive conversations there.
00:29:18.000But everybody's saying, you know, I would just feel so much better about this administration and about our country if I knew why the pedophiles are being protected and why we haven't gone after them yet.
00:29:30.000And I have to agree with that sentiment.
00:29:33.000So, when you do have a note for President Trump, I mean, I, you know, Turning Point is a C3 in your personal capacity, however.
00:29:42.000How would you like to see the administration handle this to make it easier for a student like you on campus to table and talk about it?
00:29:48.000I really just think that the, I don't want to say maybe flip flopping is the right way to put it on what the message about Epstein was, where it's, oh, we're going to release it when we get in the office.
00:30:15.000And I had right up there, A Trump flag.
00:30:18.000And I didn't take it down because I don't like him anymore, but I realized this flag is the most important one.
00:30:23.000And, but I do really think that a lot of people who voted for him would have a lot more trust if those names and things like that were to be released because those are bad people.
00:31:09.000Like, so whether or not you could argue the details on that, and I know Blake has a lot of thoughts, but it's so important that they understand that this is the perception.
00:31:55.000The administration might come out, catch people by surprise that might excite conservative leaning students or those who were independents who gave Trump a shot in 2024.
00:32:05.000I'd say the two biggest things that I feel like our chapter focuses on a lot I think there's a lot of people who think that the deportation efforts haven't gone far enough.
00:32:12.000Now, I'm happy because when compared with the previous administration, the numbers are great.
00:32:19.000But I would also agree, I'm a son of a Cuban immigrant.
00:32:43.000And also the position on pro life and how I don't know how true that is, but I saw something that said that Planned Parenthood is getting funding again from the government.
00:32:57.000And I Believe that to be one of the gravest evils that is in our country, and I wish that our government would stop funding it.
00:33:05.000I'm not sure I know the answer to that, actually.
00:33:07.000I'm not sure I, yeah, well, I'm gonna look into that because that's it.
00:33:10.000If that is the case, then I'm gonna raise holy hell about it as well.
00:33:13.000So, what about um, we got about a minute and a half here, Peter.0.95
00:34:38.000Well, Peter, again, I think there's important details to all of these topics that could be in the administration's favor, but I think it's, I didn't want to argue, and I think your perspective is so valid and so important to hear.
00:34:52.000And I'm going to clip this up and put it on social so they can.
00:34:54.000Peter Fernandez, great job last night at Baylor University.
00:34:58.000One of the truly great leaders we have.
00:35:02.000I wasn't expecting this, I have to say.
00:35:04.000But death of recess, it stopped me in my tracks.
00:35:08.000This isn't about dodgeballs and jungle gyms, it's about control.
00:35:12.000The modern American classroom didn't just happen, it was intentionally designed, it was standardized and centralized.
00:35:18.000And once you see who built it and who protects it, everything clicks.
00:35:22.000Billions of dollars are flowing through education bureaucracies every year.
00:35:26.000Test scores collapse, and somehow the answer is always more money and less.
00:35:32.000The documentary breaks down how organizations like the NEA amassed enormous influence, how radical gender ideology entered classrooms, and why something as basic as recess, movement, freedom, childhood, you know, had to go.
00:36:04.000So, right now, go to angel.com/slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess right now.
00:36:10.000If you're a parent or plan to be, you need to see this.
00:36:12.000That's angel.com/slash Charlie and watch Death of Recess.
00:36:17.000Breaking tonight, a circuit court in Virginia ruled a short time ago, within the past two hours, that the redistricting referendum passed by voters yesterday is unconstitutional.
00:36:31.000The judge is now blocking certification of the election and denying a motion to stay pending appeal.
00:37:49.000But like many states, Virginia's constitution so, this is state constitutional issues we're talking about, not federal.
00:37:59.000So, no federal courts will be involved in most of these decisions.
00:38:04.000But our state constitution requires that if you want to amend the constitution, in this case, to get rid of our bipartisan redistricting commission, which is what they were doing, you have to pass an amendment through the General Assembly, have an election.
00:38:19.000Of the General Assembly, and then have what's called second passage.
00:38:25.000And then at least 90 days have to go by before it is submitted to the voters.
00:39:04.000Well, they did this on Halloween, but voting started on September 19th, six weeks before.
00:39:11.000Over a million people had already voted, and they wanted to count that election as the constitutionally required intervening election.
00:39:21.000And that's going to be very challenging for them to pull off.
00:39:24.000That was problem number one with that effort on Halloween.
00:39:28.000The other problem was they claimed to be in a special session.
00:39:32.000A lot of state legislatures, unlike Congress, they do very discreet sessions.
00:39:38.000We only have a 45 day or 60 day session in Virginia.
00:39:43.000They were claiming that the special session called in May of 2024 to finalize a budget was still alive and open, and they could propose the constitutional amendment in it.
00:39:58.000And the problem with that is that get outside the boundaries of what the special session was called.
00:40:04.000For which it was called, you need a two thirds vote of the General Assembly.
00:40:08.000And of course, they don't have that kind of a majority in Virginia, and Republicans would never go along with it.
00:40:16.000Those two issues are in front of the Supreme Court of Virginia right now as we speak.
00:40:21.000The ruling that you ran the Fox piece on from yesterday from Taswell Circuit Court is a third constitutional challenge because the second time they passed the amendment was January.
00:40:36.00016th, I want to say, of this year, 2026.
00:40:40.000And the Constitution says there must be 90 days between second passage and when it is submitted to the voters.
00:40:48.000Well, the referendum end date, April 21st, was more than 90 days later.
00:40:54.000But because we have that 45 day election, this was submitted to the voters on March 6th.
00:41:02.000And the judge in Taswell said, That's not 90 days, folks.
00:41:06.000You have violated this part of the Constitution.
00:41:46.000And I suppose if they don't rule the way we want, is there a potential for federal involvement in this case?
00:41:53.000So, our Supreme Court has behaved in a less political manner than most Supreme Courts have.
00:42:00.000It is 4 3 Republican Democrat in terms of appointees throughout 2026.
00:42:06.000But I would foresee the possibility of a 7 0 ruling on the intervening election question before them, and possibly even the special session question.
00:42:19.000So the partisan question about justices would go away if it was unanimous, of course.
00:42:25.000And the folks who barely squeaked by 51 and a half to 48 and a half on Tuesday with the referendum to undo our bipartisan redistricting, which, by the way, passed 2 1.
00:43:03.000It doesn't matter if it's unconstitutional for one reason or for four reasons.
00:43:08.000If it's unconstitutional, the referendum will be thrown out.
00:43:11.000So, I know that there was already a lot of skepticism from the courts on all these questions that you bring up, and yet they allowed the referendum to go forward anyway.
00:43:21.000The worry that goes in my heart is I can just see the courts coming up with some excuse where they would basically say, you know, there's these constitutional questions.
00:43:31.000They seem really bad, but could we really overturn the expressed will of the people as shown in this referendum?
00:43:36.000I'm worried that the entire setup was to engineer that excuse that they could offer.
00:43:44.000So, the reason the earlier two constitutional questions that went up to the Supreme Court were held there and they let the referendum go forward is that we have over 100 years of precedent in Virginia that treat the vote of the people as part of the legislative process that has to be completed before courts can take up any of the issues related to the referendum.
00:44:12.000It's very much analogous to the governor signing or vetoing a bill.
00:44:16.000The court would never take up, we've got an assault weapons ban coming.
00:44:20.000I expect to sue on it, but I'm not going to sue until the governor either signs or vetoes the bill.
00:44:29.000But that completes the legislative process.
00:44:33.000And the courts will not, as a matter of separation of powers, take up a challenge to a law or a referendum until after the legislative process is complete.
00:45:46.000You're very legal minded and you're pretty good about staying above the fray.
00:45:51.000But what does that mean to you as a Virginian and an American, as a conservative, when you see the way that we are prioritizing different races around the country?
00:45:58.000Ken Paxton versus Cornyn in Texas comes to mind $100, $150 million blown on RVR fighting.
00:47:08.000And this is where you're supposedly nonpartisan, nonpolitical.
00:47:13.000Entities that people get tax deductions to support and their donations are not reported in election spending.
00:47:21.000This is the kind of dark money that the left loves while ranting against dark money.
00:47:28.000And we got hammered with it in Virginia for sure.
00:47:31.000And you need that money early to run a mail program.
00:47:36.000You don't just stand a mail program up at the last second when money starts to come in.
00:47:40.000So we got hurt in two different ways because of the amount of money and when it arrived.
00:47:48.000Now, I know we've seen some complaints on X and other venues where people have said, I mean, the classic thing is Fairfax always drops their votes last.
00:47:58.000Some people have said mail in votes came out last.
00:48:02.000Do you think there's any signs of foul play, or do you think we should focus on just the money stuff, the constitutional questions, and so on?
00:48:12.000Well, first of all, we should absolutely focus like a laser beam on the constitutional questions.
00:48:16.000We are believers in constitutions, and we.
00:48:20.000Are well positioned to rely on it to protect us here.
00:48:24.000Constitutions, in part, are to protect minorities and to rein in governments.
00:48:28.000And that's exactly what's happening here in Virginia.
00:48:31.000And we have a good chance of winning on that basis alone.
00:48:35.000So, you know, there are a lot of other issues.
00:48:37.000There's national political consequences of this.
00:48:40.000And that's how the Democrats argued this.
00:49:46.000So there's always a limited amount of money.
00:49:49.000And where it gets spent is always controversial.
00:49:53.000But it does drive me crazy where you get so much establishment money that far and away their first priority has nothing to do with principles.
00:52:02.000If you want to see massive savings in your health care budget, CHM has four low cost programs for every stage of life, starting at just $115 a month.
00:52:11.000Plus, you can enroll or switch your program at any time.0.82
00:52:15.000See why so many believers are taking a leap of faith?
00:53:26.000Why don't you just lay out for our viewers what is going on with teachers in the city of Los Angeles?
00:53:32.000Well, it's we've had cases against LAUSD since 2012 when the Supreme Court first allowed people to file against school districts.
00:53:43.000In most states, you can't sue a school district even if they know that a teacher has molested kids and they don't take them out of circulation.
00:53:57.000But to give you a scope nationally, there's two national studies.
00:54:02.000One in 2004 by Carol Shakeshaft, who was hired by the Department of Education to examine how many children in public schools in this country in K 12 will suffer some sort of sexual misconduct by a teacher or other school employee.
00:54:18.000And the figure she came up with was 10%.
00:54:20.000That's in the George W. Bush administration.
00:54:24.000In the Obama administration, the Justice Department initiated another study how many children in K 12 schools will be molested by or suffer, excuse me, suffer some sort of sexual misconduct.
00:54:36.000By teachers, administrators, school employees, et cetera.
00:54:41.000And what the Justice Department concluded, it's 10%.
00:54:43.000So, to give you an idea, there are 57 million children in K 12 public schools in this country.
00:54:51.000That means every year, 5.7 million kids will suffer sexual misconduct.
00:54:57.000That's more than the population of many states.
00:55:00.000LAUSD is perhaps possibly the worst example.
00:55:04.000They've paid hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:55:39.000Still employed by the Los Angeles School District who have been convicted of sex offenses, but they're just, they're either reassigned or they're even just assigned to sort of fake jobs.
00:55:50.000Apparently, in LAUSD, you can just, their policies explicitly say you can just get reassigned instead of fired for sexually harassing students or apparently deliberately exposing students to pornography.
00:56:03.000I think the two student teachers you're talking about weren't convicted of sexual offenses.
00:56:08.000What they were convicting of is knowingly failing to report.
00:56:12.000Someone who was molesting children, and that's uh Jesus Angulo and Maria Sotomayor.
00:56:18.000They themselves didn't molest anybody, but they pled guilty to violating uh or NOLO to violating California's mandatory reporting laws.
00:56:28.000And by not reporting him, this individual who was molesting kids went on to molest more children, and so they were charged by the DA, pled guilty, they were on leave from the school district, and then they hired him back.
00:56:53.000I just wanted to pause there really quickly because if you know about a crime and you do not report it, that makes you complicit.
00:57:05.000And I think that there is some weird cultural phenomenon.
00:57:08.000I've been thinking about this a long time because you think about what happened with Charlie, and there were all these people that seemingly knew that something was going to happen that day.
00:57:16.000And it's one of the things I pull my hair out about, candidly, that there hasn't been more action on it.
00:57:21.000I'm trying to work proper channels and Get action on it.
00:57:24.000But the point is, if you know something is going to happen, if you know something did happen, you are morally and legally obligated to report that so justice can be done.
00:57:34.000And so I feel like what's probably happening here is you've got the unions and they're, you know, the people that are supposed to be protecting these teachers, they are not drawing the moral weight that is, you know, mandated by that crime, that inaction.
00:57:52.000And it frustrates me because there's no moral weight behind it anymore.
00:57:56.000If you know about a crime, You have to report it.
00:57:59.000And I don't know where we lost the plot as a society in that.
00:58:02.000I don't know where our bureaucrats lost the plot on that.
00:59:35.000So, most parents, I think, assume if they send their kids to a public school and the school suspects and credibly suspects that the teacher, their child's teacher, is a molester and they remove them from the classroom, they tell the parents not the law, not the law in any state.
00:59:52.000In fact, LAUSD has a policy that says, Well, the local administrator or the local superintendent, excuse me, may tell the parents.
01:00:03.000I have cases in LAUSD, in Miramonte, the Miramonte case, all over the district where teachers were removed from schools because they were suspected of child abuse and parents weren't told.
01:00:19.000And, you know, children don't typically spontaneously report.
01:00:24.000If that teacher's in a classroom with children MLS1, He probably or she probably molests 20.
01:00:31.000And so you have people, you have little boys and little girls that are going through their whole lives that were molested that typically don't report till their 30s and 40s and living with this.
01:00:42.000And let me tell you, when this happens to a child, it is emotional murder.
01:00:59.000How about Randy Weingarten needs to be brought before Congress and explain herself for opposing something so frickin' common sense as mandatory reporting of the molestation of a child?
01:01:10.000As we mentioned, another thing, since we're looping in Piker, he also believes private schooling should be illegal.
01:01:17.000They want it to be required to go to public schools.
01:01:20.000And then these public school teachers aren't mandatory reporters, don't have to be fired for extreme misconduct in cases like this.
01:01:28.000And then just to paint another part of this, This school district, they just negotiated a new contract with the city of Los Angeles because they were going to go on strike otherwise.
01:01:40.000Where their base salary, when you start fresh out of school, is $70,000.
01:01:44.000And you can get $160,000 a year as a teacher in LAUSD.
01:01:48.000For failing to report molesters in your class.
01:01:51.000For nine months a year of work where you don't have to report molesters.
01:01:56.000I genuinely don't think that the average person understands that the.
01:02:00.000Public school teacher unions and Randy Weingarten is opposing mandatory reporting of an incident of a criminal, disgusting, evil, vile incident on young kids.
01:02:15.000Well, they actually have reports on their website.
01:03:26.000You have to go to public school, you have to go to school, or your parents go to jail.
01:03:30.000So we're making people go to this place that's not safe.
01:03:34.000You know, we've hardened schools and put fences around them because of a fear of school shootings.
01:03:40.000I think we've had less than 300 kids tragically killed in school shootings.
01:03:44.000If those statistics are correct, and these are not my statistics, this is Barack Obama's administration statistics and George W. Bush administration statistics.0.74
01:03:54.000We have a holocaust of children in public schools, and the teachers that are trying to stop it are punished.0.80
01:04:01.000That's this is obscene, and I, you know, they're conflating two different issues here with this policy.0.92
01:04:06.000But Randy Warringard is an absolute crazed lunatic leftist, and I'm not kidding, John.0.72
01:04:13.000Hearing this, I want her dragged before Congress to explain herself on this, Blake.0.82
01:04:18.000This whole mandatory reporting thing is true.
01:04:21.000We have like images of it when mandatory reporting does more harm than good.
01:04:25.000Tools for a new approach, more harm than good.
01:04:29.000Yeah, more harm than just does your student have bruises all over his arm and is lashing out.
01:04:33.000Well, here's a new approach, you know.
01:04:38.000We've built, I think a lot of people are not aware of just how much power these unionized teachers have.
01:04:46.000And keep in mind, when you have a union in the private sector, there's certain limits on what they can demand because if the company goes under, everyone loses.
01:04:54.000But when you have the union at the Los Angeles Unified School District, they're negotiating with people who are members of their own party who actually have a political interest in placating them.
01:05:06.000And they can just soak taxpayers for it.
01:05:08.000It's a completely messed up arrangement, and they can just demand more and more and more.
01:05:13.000And the end result is your children are basically left as prey for predators, and they're subject to the state, basically.
01:05:23.000I mean, anyways, John Manley, you were about ready to hold forth.
01:05:28.000So please continue on with what you were saying.
01:05:31.000Well, I wanted to give you an example in California of what we're dealing with.
01:05:34.000So, what I think what I'll call the public educational establishment is afraid of is that if Americans understand the magnitude and the scope of the molestations, there's going to be a political volcanic reaction.
01:05:52.000And so we have Assemblyman Robert Rivas, who's the Speaker of the California Assembly, a guy named Senator Ben Allen, who represents the Santa Monica Malibu area.
01:06:07.000And Assemblyman Ward, who represents San Diego, and Assemblyman, I'm sorry, Senator John Weiner, who represents San Francisco, who's currently running for Nancy Pelosi's seat.
01:06:19.000Collectively, these individuals are trying to get a bill passed that would effectively eliminate the ability of parents to sue school districts when they knowingly allow a molester in a classroom.
01:06:36.000Instead, what they wanted to do is put together what they called a 9 11 style.
01:06:43.000Now, if you have to put a victims fund together, you have a massive problem.
01:06:48.000And fortunately, we and actually, it was a coalition of Republicans and a few Democrats, heroic Democrats, who stood up and said, We're not doing this.
01:07:00.000We're not going to allow you to do this to children.
01:07:02.000And that's their solution to the problem.
01:07:04.000Their solution to the problem is effectively make it go away.
01:07:08.000Because every time we file a lawsuit in one of these cases, The perpetrator gets removed from the classroom, and most of the time they get charged.
01:07:17.000Because of the failure to report, the widespread failure to report, the only two people I've been doing this since 1997 I've ever seen charged in any abuse case, and I've probably done thousands, are those two people at LAUSD.
01:10:09.000Actually, she didn't publish it, Harvard University Press published it.1.00
01:10:13.000So, not exactly a bastion of right wing thought.
01:10:17.000In December of 24, they published her book.
01:10:20.000She now comes to the conclusion, and I think rightfully so, the numbers actually 17% of children are subject to some sort of sexual misconduct by school personnel in public schools.
01:10:38.000We need national hearings, Senate or House hearings on this issue.
01:10:43.000To my knowledge, there has never been a public hearing anywhere on this topic.
01:10:49.000And, you know, I beg any right thinking person, left wing, right wing, Democratic socialist, conservative Republican, please step up for our kids because this is real.
