you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:01:52.680
all right do we have dom on dom theodore he is uh the program director of this program uh he's actually
00:02:04.420
the guy who saved my career about 20 years ago and told me what are you doing listening to everybody
00:02:10.320
else uh your show sucks when you listen to everybody else why don't you do what you want
00:02:15.120
to do and i said you know i'm going to try that because they're going to fire me anyway and uh
00:02:20.200
and now here we are all these many years later dom how are you sir i'd say it all worked out for you
00:02:26.520
pretty well yeah it did it did it did uh so dom let's talk about what happened uh in michigan
00:02:35.060
uh last night something miraculous happened in your township yeah it's really one township over
00:02:45.040
from where i live there's been um i think this audience is very familiar with the uh ccp uh run
00:02:53.220
um goshen battery factory that uh the state of michigan gretchen whitmer uh tried to shove down our
00:03:00.960
throat here locally and continues to by the way um but what happened was there were a number of
00:03:08.320
local officials that early on kind of signed on to that project in a shroud of secrecy they used
00:03:15.400
secret code names for it like project elephant and they kept the community in the dark well the
00:03:21.400
community eventually found out about it but of course it was by that point after the board had
00:03:27.360
committed resources and taken votes and you know supported goshen um and it was really too late for
00:03:35.500
the public to to respond and uh so the public went into action and signed recall petitions for um all
00:03:44.060
the board members for green charter township um eventually a couple of them had resigned so there
00:03:49.980
were only five left that didn't resign uh and last night every single one of them was replaced
00:03:56.820
um in the recall election we clean swept all five of those seats in addition there was another seat
00:04:02.420
for the township supervisor in big rapids township um unlike the green charter township board
00:04:08.600
the big rapids township listened to the public and everyone except their supervisor um bill stanick
00:04:15.760
um had uh decided to go with what the public uh had uh and wanted which was not supporting goshen
00:04:24.000
um the only one that wouldn't change his mind was bill stanick he also was recalled last night and
00:04:30.200
replaced so what does this mean because you have a you have a chinese communist company coming in here
00:04:37.900
to build batteries uh it's it it has in its charter that it has to have a you know a young communist club
00:04:48.120
and all kinds of crazy stuff but whitmer brought all of this stuff in jammed it through the town councils
00:04:57.680
they all said okay so is this going to stop it or or what is this here's the worst part is they did all this
00:05:08.600
with our tax dollars i mean that that's the thing the money that lured them here and is paying for most of this
00:05:14.540
is michigan tax dollars so that's that's the worst part there's a development agreement in place
00:05:21.780
um that the previous board left over um and you know obviously the new board is going to look at that
00:05:28.860
um with uh with with an attorney and see what the options are as far as getting out of it there's a
00:05:36.940
number of things that um you know goshen in the past has basically been able to come in and steamroll
00:05:42.220
over the community uh and against the public's wishes you know it's interesting the former
00:05:47.700
um township supervisor jim chapman completely refused to take a public survey at any point
00:05:54.680
because he knew that this was going to be the result and by the way the glenn when the margins
00:05:58.920
weren't even close we won by like 70 percent in most cases so there it was clear that the community
00:06:05.940
didn't want this project never wanted this project and you know now we have a new board with fresh
00:06:11.180
eyes as you said that will look at every option um that's on the table and and see um you know how
00:06:17.360
they can get out of the development agreement and possibly uh you know some other remedies as well
00:06:22.260
so but what they're going to find now is the township boards are not going to roll over like they have
00:06:28.800
been good good well congratulations tom i know you guys have worked really hard on this and uh you
00:06:34.840
know standing up to not only whitmer um and all of this the state's uh machinery but also the machinery
00:06:43.880
of the ccp is not easy and here's good guys winning so keep it up believe me it wasn't it wasn't me there
00:06:52.020
were so many people involved in the community all came together and we can use everyone's help at
00:06:57.360
protect mccosta.org because there's still obviously there's actually a lawsuit uh as well to try to
00:07:04.920
to stop them so um there's a c3 uh you know um a non-profit set up to help tax deductible donations
00:07:12.960
at protect mccosta as in mccosta county m-e-c-o-s-t-a dot org thank you very much
00:07:20.960
appreciate it god bless so that's that's some good news um
00:07:26.680
some good news taxpayers went and said no to higher taxes all over the country if i were
00:07:35.960
not the guy that i am uh and you know hadn't done my homework didn't wasn't paying attention
00:07:43.260
in ohio i would have voted against or for the uh the abortion uh proposition because to me the way it
00:07:54.260
was worded is so misleading it was you know that you know the state's going to be able to have it'll
00:08:00.180
be in the constitution somebody can get in the way of your wife's miscarriage you know and have to
00:08:06.780
manage that for her what are you talking about uh it was horrible the way it was worded and i think
00:08:13.740
there were a lot of people that fell for it quite honestly um it wasn't honest however it could be
00:08:21.420
that people just are cool with abortion i i don't know i don't know and if that's the case
00:08:28.900
then we are going to deserve everything our country gets yes you know that is where this is going to
00:08:34.260
end sadly um but you're right the wording was completely ridiculous bringing up things like
00:08:41.200
birth control which no one was fighting against fertility treatments which no one was fighting
00:08:45.500
against miscarriage care which no one was fighting against i mean there was one really interesting
00:08:50.000
i can't remember the exact wording of it but something like the right to be able to keep your
00:08:54.860
own pregnancy which like is there a movement of people just walking down the street pointing at
00:08:59.920
pregnant bellies and saying end that one i don't know maybe there is never i've never heard it i've
00:09:05.060
never heard it so now the in the constitution is the right to abortion um and another measure that
00:09:12.420
they voted for to um legalize marijuana margins on both ballot measures not even close
00:09:19.340
abortion and marijuana both won by double digits congratulations totally by the way totally
00:09:25.920
expected i mean this is not a surprise at all it was something we talked about yesterday that was
00:09:29.920
going to happen and it's unfortunate and now ohio basically is california you know on abortion
00:09:35.160
and i know look while some people are certainly not for the um the constitutional vote over the
00:09:43.660
summer that was the that was the vote that mattered this one we knew this was going to happen
00:09:46.940
once the first one happened but uh you know look if you there are people that are certainly to the
00:09:51.940
left of us when it comes to the life issue uh and maybe the people of ohio are in that category but
00:09:57.180
they're not as far left as california and new york and illinois and now they've got the same laws
00:10:01.920
so and it's constitutionally enshrined so it's going to be hard to remove but that is what this is all
00:10:09.020
about and the point is changing people's minds over a long period of time it's you know it's not always
00:10:13.560
going to be done with the law and you can't just depend on votes you have to be able to convince
00:10:17.780
people over a very long period and it's important because what we're talking about here are children
00:10:22.200
living and i know that's a quaint little idea that we're not allowed to talk about anymore but we we
00:10:27.080
kind of think that children should be alive uh looks like the democratic party held on to the
00:10:32.440
governor's mansion in kentucky the senate in virginia uh they managed to flip the virginia house
00:10:39.880
um the biggest win came in two ballot measures in ohio that we just told you about one race in the
00:10:47.700
virginia house was really close and i don't have can you see if they've called this race yet uh
00:10:54.760
suzanna gibson did it go to suzanna gibson or did it go to david owens um it was too close to call
00:11:03.260
in the middle of the night but suzanna gibson if you remember is the nurse practitioner
00:11:07.940
who you know people talked about because she made videos of her performing all kinds of things
00:11:16.100
by request for payment uh in her uh bedroom it appears that owen did win that race owen did win
00:11:24.120
yes so not i mean not her and probably the the port issue probably is the difference here it was only
00:11:30.060
about a three percent race uh about 900 votes give or take it was the was the difference in this race
00:11:37.760
so probably i mean maybe the who knows maybe she's gonna lose by 20 points and the porn thing got her
00:11:42.980
close i don't know but my guess is the difference here was uh this scandal uh that came out uh you have
00:11:49.300
the mississippi governor tate reeves a second turn for him the um the democrat conceded last night
00:11:57.220
the assembly in new jersey remains solidly blue it was a democrat clean sweep uh long island goes
00:12:06.460
republican uh so we got we got long island uh colorado voters rejected property tax measures
00:12:14.340
backed by the democrats um in maine they voted against a new state utility um and they said they wanted to
00:12:24.380
change their constitution um and put it it remains in the constitution but for some unknown reason
00:12:30.560
at least to me they took it out of the printed constitution and it's all of the uh tribal obligations
00:12:38.580
that maine has that you know 200 years ago they made to the uh native americans and the people there
00:12:46.480
but it's full of white people so you would expect this um you know they said hey we should put that
00:12:52.480
back in our constitution so we all remember what we uh where we came from and you know our obligations
00:12:58.940
so those racists up in uh maine they voted to uh restore that white people are the worst am i right
00:13:13.980
okay so here's it is here here's uh it's whitmire actually it's uh senator john whitmire
00:13:22.500
running for the mayor's role in houston running against sheila jackson lee
00:13:32.240
exciting exciting race they're gonna go to runoff there uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh so you're gonna have
00:13:41.860
one of the two uh you know whitmire would probably be the better one right more over
00:13:50.140
sheila jackson lee yes just for comedic just for comedic that's true for our purposes we don't live
00:13:58.220
in houston yes so for our purposes sheila jackson lee would be a better mayor yeah because we would
00:14:03.820
get constant i cannot believe that sheila jackson lee is actually being considered by a good number
00:14:12.260
of people in houston that that's that's insanity is incredible i mean all of this all of this just
00:14:19.420
goes to show you that we are not a nation you know it is not an open and shut case everybody knows it's
00:14:26.340
going to be close but i don't think that it is actually running in our favor when it comes to uh
00:14:33.080
you know the poll numbers i i don't think i mean i don't think this is an open and shut case
00:14:38.560
by any stretch of the imagination and what were any of these presidential candidates oh no i mean i
00:14:44.780
look i i think that's definitely true you know this is it's it's not easy to win presidential
00:14:50.680
elections now you do have a very very weak candidate running for re-election at least currently
00:14:56.780
in joe biden which makes it possible for possible but it's not obvious by any means you know here's
00:15:04.740
i was looking at the texas results and they voted on what was it we voted here in in texas 14 different
00:15:11.240
propositions um only one did they reject they said yes to all 14 of them except one and that one
00:15:19.920
was raising the mandatory retirement age for state judges so the the state constitution would
00:15:27.320
be amended to increase the mandatory retirement age for texas judges from 279 from 75 so the one
00:15:35.240
thing they rejected out of all of these and it's like creating funds for water and creating funds
00:15:40.040
for internet and all these other things the only thing texas voters rejected were like no more old
00:15:45.560
people please no more old people this is the best of the glenbeck program all right let me give you a
00:15:52.560
couple of uh stories here real quick and then uh i'm gonna have somebody explain uh some of these
00:15:58.300
things first of all president biden signed an executive order last monday and it was you know
00:16:05.800
we're just trying to strike a balance between innovation and regulation of artificial intelligence
00:16:11.380
what it does is it gives the left a free pass into capturing the most important technological
00:16:24.160
they're using the defense production act and it gives the government oversight and regulatory scrutiny
00:16:35.220
of the industry by creating new reporting requirements interagency coordination and handling
00:16:41.100
ai it calls for the development of new technological standards and tools for the evaluation of ai
00:16:47.080
systems it also uh calls for ai companies to report on training security testing dual ai models blah blah
00:16:55.960
blah it also requires ai developers to provide safety test results and to make sure that we're baking in
00:17:06.040
dei perfect by the way it also is in the regulations it allows the federal government to look through
00:17:15.720
every line of code in software i don't know that sounds like a problem so controlling ai is the first story
00:17:26.040
the second story is coming from the fcc the federal communications commission
00:17:33.000
looking for digital equity this is a power grab that is unlike any power grab ever
00:17:42.380
uh in the fcc history this will grab all of the uh internet and give the united states government
00:17:53.720
and this administration with the fcc complete control of every aspect of the internet
00:18:01.640
we have a federal communications uh commission commissioner brendan carr with us now uh brendan how are you
00:18:10.020
uh i'm doing great good to be with you thank you can you explain what this means
00:18:14.360
yeah well look first of all i think you're you're right to put this in a in a broader perspective
00:18:20.600
there's a lot of individual actions that are taking place right now in the government that could just look like
00:18:26.060
sort of unconnected disconnected isolated pinpricks but right but to your point in a switch analogies
00:18:32.540
there's a far far broader mosaic that is taking shape and we have to wake up and take a look at it
00:18:38.980
so as you noted um the biden administration has this ai executive order and look i'm all for sort of
00:18:44.460
putting some you know common sense guardrails in place but this thing goes way beyond towards government
00:18:50.120
control and there's lots of other pieces going on as you mentioned uh president biden has called on
00:18:55.740
the fcc here where i work to put in place a digital equity plan for the internet and that plan would have
00:19:04.940
the fcc for the very first time ever uh assert intrusive new controls and regulation of the internet
00:19:15.060
literally every feature of the service the speed the latency the pricing how long installation times go
00:19:22.600
um and where internet can be built or not built for the very first time i mean we have never put
00:19:28.720
a regular regime like that in place in probably 50 years at the fcc you have to go all the way back to
00:19:34.200
sort of the the new deal era when we were regulating the mobile telephone monopoly a point in time in which
00:19:40.280
there was virtually no distinction between the private sector and the government and one other
00:19:45.080
piece of this real quick just two days ago jim jordan put out a new report that showed that the
00:19:50.300
government had been colluding to censor the free speech rights of private citizens and so this is all
00:19:57.340
part of one plan whether it's jawboning social media whether it's ai or whether it's this digital
00:20:03.300
equity plan that we're going to vote on at the fcc next week it's all about government control i certainly
00:20:09.040
think it can be used for nefarious purposes but also it's just it's fundamentally a rejection of
00:20:13.180
what we are as a country it's a rejection of free market capitalism i have my concerns with with big
00:20:18.220
corporations don't get me wrong but this is absolutely sort of a progressive approach that uh
00:20:24.080
really feels like you know bernie sanders has captured the fcc well i mean i i will tell you what if
00:20:29.460
you're building the same kind of system the last time it was seen uh was ma bell look what that did
00:20:36.480
to that technology it wasn't until we got out of the phone regulation business that we had answering
00:20:45.260
machines and call waiting and uh all kinds of uh wireless communication none of that stuff i mean i
00:20:53.880
remember when it used to be really expensive to make a long distance call i don't pay i can call china
00:20:59.860
today and i'm not paying extra for it i mean it everything changed when the government got out of that
00:21:05.840
business well you're right look in in a couple years ago six years ago um we ended this obama era
00:21:13.100
experiment with heavy-handed regulation of the internet called title two it was branded in the
00:21:18.340
public as net neutrality because that sounds like a very positive thing who could be against net
00:21:22.140
neutrality but what we saw the last time they tried to do this with heavy-handed controls was a
00:21:27.400
decrease in investment in this space and when we repealed title two uh in 2017 if you remember
00:21:33.080
it was a total uh sort of apocalyptic prediction it would be the end of the internet cnn ran a banner
00:21:38.740
headline end of the internet as we know it what's happened since then internet speeds are up six
00:21:43.540
fold uh prices are down relative to inflation prices for actually heavy regulated industries like
00:21:51.760
utilities water power sewer the prices for those services have increased two times the price
00:21:57.820
as internet and so again you know we have this approach where the by administration's policies
00:22:04.260
are failing and they're looking for a scapegoat and it's a private sector and what they're doing
00:22:08.800
instead of you know righting the ship is they're going further to the left and their view essentially
00:22:14.140
i guess is that we've really never tried real command and control regulation of the internet but
00:22:19.200
that's exactly where we're heading now so what does this mean to people like me um and the blaze um under
00:22:29.300
this kind of regulation will will i have to jump if i were starting the blaze like i did you know 12 years
00:22:38.160
ago nobody was doing it we had to make our own rules and make our own way and make our own technology
00:22:45.420
to do it um could you under this can do i have to jump through extra hoops do i have to you know be
00:22:56.960
you know uh dei loving or anything else well look you know this is the this is putting the fcc
00:23:05.240
in charge of entire industries that we never regulated before before as you know from your
00:23:09.920
background it was sort of broadcasters and it was to some extent isps themselves but now we say if
00:23:15.300
you are at all in the chain of this you know communications space you're going to be sort
00:23:20.860
of newly subject to the fcc whether it reaches as far as you i i don't think so but it also doesn't
00:23:25.860
need to because the broader plan whether it's you know the censorship industrial complex that we're
00:23:31.200
seeing right now uh or the title two approach where the fcc is asked in that proceeding whether
00:23:36.040
they should be blocking uh ip addresses you know the broader plan is one that certainly you know brings
00:23:42.700
you within the realm of the federal government wanting to to control and it's you know it's good
00:23:46.300
that you got up and running uh in a very different regime um but we have to change course here i think
00:23:52.380
you know litigation is one aspect thankfully there's a lot of favorable supreme court law right now
00:23:56.860
um that is reigning in the administrative state uh and i hope that that you know is is something that
00:24:02.260
happens here because again if you step back people look at you know the presidency and the
00:24:06.720
house and the senate and how often those change hands but the administrative state the alphabet
00:24:12.940
soup of agencies in washington dc has been under the control of democrats for approaching 12 out of
00:24:18.740
the last 16 years a very important period of time for economic growth in this country um and so it's a
00:24:24.700
good thing that the supreme court is starting to look at some of these power grabs that the agencies
00:24:29.800
are attempting to do with the fcc involved let me switch gears over to the uh use of ai what is
00:24:37.560
what is the fcc's role with ai it shouldn't be much but this executive order does direct the fcc to
00:24:46.140
play a role and i've seen this before look i spent a lot of time in europe in brussels in this job
00:24:51.880
talking with my colleagues over there and europe has a very very different approach when it comes to new
00:24:57.720
technology they hold round tables they hold listening sessions they hold salons they look at
00:25:03.520
it they spin it around and on the front end before they let anybody use it it's got to be acceptable to
00:25:09.060
the government the u.s historically has taken a very different approach that's why silicon valley
00:25:13.740
developed here that's why the you know internet giants for good or for bad are based here because
00:25:18.840
of permissionless innovation and what the biden administration is doing with this ai executive
00:25:22.460
order is the exact playbook that i have seen take place in salons all across brussels
00:25:27.380
for the last 10 or 15 years and it's resulted in innovation really getting squeezed in europe and
00:25:33.120
you don't see them leading on 4g you don't see them leading on 5g you don't need them sitting on you
00:25:37.240
know search or social media and so it's concerning to me that we are going to sort of you know down
00:25:42.560
level the playing field there this this will leave all of this this will leave all of this to china
00:25:48.480
right i mean look at the end of the day you know all of these constraints are not taking place
00:25:54.700
in china and there's a very unlevel playing field i mean our uh internet providers uh sort of our
00:26:00.860
online companies here social media are not even allowed to do business in china uh and so it's a
00:26:07.080
very asymmetrical regime already and so yeah we have to be very careful um that we don't hold back
00:26:12.880
uh you know positive entrepreneurship from america are you concerned and i know this is you know a little
00:26:19.060
far afield from from what you do but the ai um order the executive order uh calls for uh regulations
00:26:28.240
that will allow the federal government to look through every line of code in software that seems
00:26:35.280
uh a little terrifying i know that the government i don't know who to root for on getting ai first
00:26:41.680
but i know our government has been looking trying to develop ai this gives them this gives them the
00:26:48.880
keys to all ai doesn't it yeah it's really a disturbing overreach again this isn't sort of a
00:26:58.120
a conversation about regulatory philosophy around the edges you know where we're talking about you know
00:27:03.880
between the 40s i can agree i can disagree what we're seeing is really a pretty hard lurch to the
00:27:11.000
left and it's a view of the administrative state and a view of government that we haven't seen
00:27:15.680
ever and you know decades yeah right have we ever seen because this you described this as the old
00:27:22.040
soviet you know i think you were the one that described this as the old soviet union um you know
00:27:27.060
the regulatory state really just taking everything on do you stand by that yeah absolutely look
00:27:34.880
this this digital equity plan that biden has asked us to put in place it is predicated on a
00:27:40.240
less than one page provision that was tucked into the 2021 infrastructure law less than one page
00:27:47.340
and it has sort of very high level uh language about making sure that people don't discriminate
00:27:52.100
in the provision of broadband going forward it's fine as far as it goes but the fcc at president
00:27:57.920
biden's urging uh has just read effectively thousands and thousands of pages into that one page law
00:28:04.500
that congress never passed and yet again it is part of this broader play to empower the administrative
00:28:12.660
state and uh and i think it's a problem well thank you for bringing it to our attention i appreciate it
00:28:18.500
it's voted on next tuesday but it's pretty much a foregone conclusion is it not yeah this will pass
00:28:25.720
next wednesday is uh is the open meeting at the fcc uh it will pass out the fcc um but again i think
00:28:31.740
it's important that people still make their voices heard there is a chance that um some of the more
00:28:35.900
extreme aspects of this could get walked back before that uh vote and so i do think it's important for
00:28:41.340
people to talk about it and then again i think we have a chance a good chance here um on litigation
00:28:45.620
on appeal but but the businesses also that are regulated need to push back i mean look there's big
00:28:50.100
corporations in this country have been playing footsie with the government for for various reasons
00:28:54.440
including because the infrastructure law that this was a part of included 65 billion dollars
00:28:59.200
for um internet build in this country and so there's sort of a a broader warning sign here a
00:29:05.800
lesson that that big companies need to learn which is when you take this type of funding from the
00:29:09.940
government it comes with strings and the strings are getting worse and worse and worse so we've got
00:29:14.240
to be careful thank you brendan carr fcc commissioner appreciate it god bless you're listening to the
00:29:19.880
best of glenn back need a little more check out the full show podcast we welcome back to the
00:29:26.800
program a good friend actor and producer and dare i say it activist kirk cameron oh i know that's a
00:29:34.920
bad word but i've been given worse words i got a few labels nowadays but you really kind of have i mean
00:29:42.600
i think we all have if you care about what's going on in the country you can't sit around anymore
00:29:47.260
no i think those days are over at least i hope that they're over because there are others on the
00:29:52.800
other side who are not sitting around they are reformers they're not sitting on the couch watching
00:29:57.240
cnn uh or or fox sort of crying about a republican conservative christian win here or there they're
00:30:05.500
saying uh we've got a ground game and we're relentless we're not going to stop and i think we could
00:30:11.060
learn a lot of lessons from them yeah school elastic uh school elastic they um have had their book
00:30:17.220
fairs for years and we've over 100 years yeah and we've all grown to trust that brand as disney
00:30:24.140
and they've kind of gone the way of disney haven't they that's right that's that's right um they they
00:30:30.180
have they're now controllers in part of the woke matrix and they're so massively influential uh have
00:30:38.860
you have you ever wondered when you watch these videos of moms at school boards uh screaming and
00:30:44.140
yelling about this sexually explicit content this new to this pornography coming down to elementary
00:30:48.860
school kids where does this stuff come from is it the board members is it the librarian who's into
00:30:53.680
this weird stuff no there's a wolf in grandma's clothing to use the little red riding hood metaphor
00:31:00.460
and that wolf we have discovered is the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books
00:31:06.480
which is scholastic they're a billion dollar company around for over 100 years they have over
00:31:10.720
100 000 book fairs across the country hundreds every single day in public and private schools
00:31:16.480
and the books are increasingly laced with gender confusing race infused pornographic sexually explicit
00:31:26.500
material that you can't even advertise on facebook the conservative christian conglomerate meta
00:31:36.060
is even saying you can't show that stuff and those are adult standards that's not even pointing out
00:31:43.820
the fact that these are images and content for minors how is this even honestly how is this even
00:31:49.800
legal or possible didn't what was the state that just passed the law that if a if you can't say it on
00:31:55.920
fcc regulated airwaves you can't use it in schools that's right and i i don't understand it when these
00:32:03.440
school boards will sit there and say as parents will angrily read a book yeah that their kids
00:32:09.940
brought home and they'll say that's not appropriate what do you mean it's not appropriate we're all
00:32:14.740
adults yeah exactly and uh glenn and and stew i want you to know that that i'm not using hyperbole
00:32:22.240
here i didn't believe this until i bought the books and i read them myself i'm holding them up here
00:32:28.560
and we've got welcome to saint hell we've got stars in their eyes rick melissa george all sorts of
00:32:34.700
books and in there is literally instruction manuals for pre-teen children on how to uh have sex as
00:32:45.580
another gender and how to turn your female tiny sex organ into your very own two-inch willy
00:32:54.120
by injecting yourself with hormones you've got underage drinking clothes off in bed you you've
00:33:01.960
got scars from top surgery breast removal pictures drawings cartoons all of this what age these are
00:33:10.260
for 8 to 12 oh my god and then it goes younger when it really gets into books like uh julian is a
00:33:17.200
mermaid where you have a grandmother who is what can only be described by me as grooming her grandson
00:33:26.720
to explore the world of drag these are for little kids these are like kindergarten first grade stuff
00:33:34.120
and so you're now talking about studies in from the united states government that reveal that you expose
00:33:40.940
children to sexual material early you increase their odds of being victimized of going down
00:33:47.620
aberrant trails we all know this we've known this forever if you're a parent you know all of this
00:33:52.020
stuff and the fact that there are federal laws prohibiting the distribution of pornographic and
00:33:57.220
obscene materials for minors because it's harmful to them doesn't go away when you put it into books
00:34:03.720
like this and say that they're educational it doesn't make them less obscene and any less harmful
00:34:08.480
and so we've got to wake up uh and and not just frankly yell at the school board because they're
00:34:16.060
heavily invested they haven't read every book in their library and the books are laced it's like
00:34:19.900
it's like uh you know you get halloween candy that's laced with fentanyl you don't necessarily know that
00:34:25.480
it's there but scholastic is lacing their books with obscene material in the middle of the pages with
00:34:32.660
benign looking covers so they don't even know it's there so what we need to do is say now that we know
00:34:38.000
now that we're exposing it uh let's stop yelling at the school board turn around in the board meeting
00:34:43.620
look at the parents and say hey mom and dad what are you doing why are you dropping your kids off
00:34:47.220
here seven hours a day to be indoctrinated by these people don't you understand that the whole point of
00:34:52.160
this is to separate you from your children you sexualize children you drive a wedge between you
00:34:57.220
and them and they will go down roads because of their natural curiosity and their impressionable minds
00:35:02.720
with teachers who are pushing this stuff yes and scholastic former ceo is saying we're we are
00:35:08.560
committed to putting more and more of this material in more and more channels as we possibly can in
00:35:13.300
fact they apologized to the leftist organizations when they pulled back a little bit in some of these
00:35:20.320
book fairs and put these uh lgbtq obscene other type uh they put it off to the side and said this is an
00:35:28.100
an optional package you could order no no no they want it mainstream front and center and so they
00:35:33.340
apologized and doubled down on their efforts this is scholastic the so thousand pound gorilla in the
00:35:39.500
space so what are you doing because um you have been great in libraries uh you're you are on this
00:35:47.180
and becoming wait are they allowing you in libraries now i thought you're getting kicked out of libraries
00:35:51.300
i thought that was your thing well yeah they let you inside they're so inclusive they don't let me in
00:35:56.240
the front door right yeah but you can get in but you can get in because this is america yes and this
00:36:01.580
is america um and there are many many libraries who actually want us to come so yeah um we we have
00:36:07.800
two things that i'm doing to sort of as a proposed solution to this horrible wolf in grandma's clothing
00:36:14.700
uh one we've created a pdf so that parents can download the pdf and see everything that i'm talking
00:36:20.680
about page book number author biographies all of this stuff you can show it to your fellow parents
00:36:26.000
in the school show it to your principal show it to your librarians and school board members make them
00:36:30.020
aware of what's going on and then uh don't just stick it to them to figure it out um we have actually
00:36:36.200
created a non-profit it was started by a concerned mother called sky tree book fairs you can replace
00:36:44.020
these harmful scholastic book fairs with helpful wholesome book fairs with 500 books that have all
00:36:51.900
been vetted and screened to take out all of the nasty pornography and the critical race theory and
00:36:58.960
the race stuff and they're about wholesome good values and we already have over 700 public and private
00:37:07.900
schools that have already begun the process of replacing scholastic with sky tree book fairs and the
00:37:13.580
first one is coming up uh next month in spotsylvania virginia first one public school superintendent of
00:37:20.220
this of the district is so excited about this they have gotten rid of scholastic they're putting in
00:37:26.280
uh sky tree book fairs public school how are they getting away with that oh because because they can
00:37:32.940
they can choose what book fairs they want or don't want the reason that so many public schools and
00:37:37.180
private schools go with uh scholastic is a they're trusted right it's it's you you think it's grandma you
00:37:43.020
don't you don't know that grandma was eaten up by the wolf yeah and now he's dressed in this trusted
00:37:47.160
clothing called scholastic um b the schools actually get money from the books that are sold at the book
00:37:53.640
fairs right there's a percentage that goes back to the school so they're that's part of their budget
00:37:58.920
does that happen with the sky tree books um that's a good question i believe it does i believe that they
00:38:05.980
get they get funds that come back to them to invest in more books like this and more programs that
00:38:11.300
reinforce these values so how do you first of all how do you get the pdf the pdf you just go to
00:38:18.240
sky tree book fairs.org it's a non-profit sky tree book fairs.org download the pdf uh it's really easy
00:38:26.900
you can text it to people uh email it to people and also there are instructions there on how to begin
00:38:32.620
the process of bringing sky tree book fairs to your school it's fantastic well it's an option and this is
00:38:39.620
this is what's exciting about living at this time glenn you just said you're born for a reason
00:38:43.740
on purpose for a purpose at a specific time for these problems i think that's why we're sitting here
00:38:49.460
right now it is isn't it mind-blowing to think stew that before the stars began to shine in the
00:38:54.580
universe god knew that you and glenn and i would be sitting here talking about just such an absurd
00:39:01.960
reality that we live in and then having doing ideas to do something about it and we can do it
00:39:08.400
together and make a difference is what's really amazing to me is he has that for everybody and how
00:39:15.240
many people have been convinced by evil that they don't have a purpose there isn't anything they can do
00:39:23.680
that they they uh shouldn't pay attention or they will get in trouble if they you know stand up for
00:39:30.560
things all of these lies yeah yeah well because our schools uh again real real education i think has
00:39:38.580
been eaten by the ravenous wolf and replaced with something else so so when you take god out of the
00:39:45.100
picture you don't have what you're saying you don't have meaning and identity and purpose other than
00:39:49.320
this is how bacteria reacts at these temperatures after billions of years cancer cells why discriminate
00:39:55.460
cancer cells from other cells they're just trying to to survive as well no no there is good there is bad
00:40:01.860
and there is purpose and and as you're going as you're going around america and you're doing these
00:40:12.080
that we are living in in really exciting times uh revival great awakenings people snapping out of their
00:40:22.040
stupors uh have always happened in this country and around the world during times of moral collapse
00:40:29.400
spiritual apathy economic decline and political corruption yeah and warfare i think we're due for
00:40:37.940
one no i think they tend to happen about every 50 years yeah i think this i think this uh this is
00:40:43.180
what i'm sensing this israel thing has also awakened a lot not not just not just the bloodthirst uh on
00:40:53.340
october 7th but also the bloodthirst that's in our own streets i think people are going wait wait wait
00:40:58.840
wait a minute what you're for what now i think there's a lot of people that were just kind of
00:41:04.220
coasting along and just you know living on the you know the fringes and just kind of like i'm not going
00:41:09.940
to take a stand that are seeing things now going wait wait a minute this is not what's happening here
00:41:14.820
yeah yeah i i agree you know when you have a beer and you kind of have that buzz that sort of dulls
00:41:21.340
your senses a little bit and everything just kind of seems like it's floating along i i feel like
00:41:26.580
because of our prosperity because of our comfort and the ease with which we can go through days and
00:41:33.140
just pick up a latte and uber to the to the cafe we we've sort of been in this this this dull-minded
00:41:40.240
buzz not recognizing the the essential truths that if you are not pursuing truth and beauty and
00:41:48.020
goodness sacrificially and leaning into that stuff with everything including math history science english
00:41:54.280
and economics and agriculture you're screwed long term and your children will pay for it that's
00:42:00.780
what we're waking up to now people are sobering up okay i want you to go to sky tree books book
00:42:06.860
fairs.org sky tree book fairs.org get the pdf he's talking about send it and share it with everybody
00:42:15.320
and then go to your school and see if you can you can get the sky tree book fairs uh to come and and do
00:42:24.400
a book fair at your kids school it is important that we see these trusted brands that have long ago
00:42:33.840
gone off the beaten path and gone their own way and are actually poisonous to our society and our kids
00:42:42.180
we have to see these brands for what they are uh and time is really running out it's not too late
00:42:50.360
but it is uh gravely urgent that you do this now sky tree book fairs.org
