00:09:30.120Before I read this sentence, can we just stop writing things in the news and pretending that everyone knows?
00:09:47.220You know how like when they were like, I can't think of any of the terms, but all those terms, those woke terms that came out were like, what the hell is that word?
00:09:57.920And everybody was writing it in their news articles and you're like, I don't even know what that means.
00:15:58.900And I was young and stupid, you know, and didn't know how the world works, and I went to this clinic, and, of course, you pay with cash, and I did want to talk to somebody, you know, because I was, you know, terrified.
00:16:14.900I did not need my mother's consent, by the way, or my parents' consent, and I was told, you know, I asked them, well, you know, what exactly is happening?
00:16:26.600You know, I mean, how far along, you know, am I?
00:16:32.380I was right at 10 weeks, and I said, well, you know, is the baby, you know, is it formed?
00:16:40.640And they said, oh, no, it's just a clump of cells, you know.
00:16:45.700I said, would you be able to tell what sex it is?
00:16:48.420They said, oh, no, no, there's no, you know, nothing, you know, there's no baby, it's just a clump of cells.
00:21:42.080And just saying, you know, I don't think it's enough that you take these people who, you know, this woman that was, you know, in charge of this campaign, she has been put on a leave of absence.
00:21:57.440But she called Bud Light a brand of fratty, kind of out-of-touch humor, and it needed something for young drinkers.
00:38:58.340It was mandated by the General Assembly, but this governor has a different philosophy of civil discourse, civility, and treating people living with the golden rule.
00:39:10.740Apparently, they were very, very upset.
00:45:30.760And we've been under such a barrage of what I call false narratives for so long now.
00:45:36.820And, I mean, you deal with all of these false narratives from climate change is caused by man to Trump was a Russian spy, Biden laptop was Russian propaganda.
00:45:49.360I mean, we get all these false narratives and false narratives.
00:45:53.720Their purpose is to make people feel alone, isolated, and like they can't do anything.
00:46:01.440And so, you know, I travel the country and speak at conferences, and I kept hearing from everyone, what can I do?
00:47:11.740Most people, you know, live in an apartment building.
00:47:15.260There's somewhere where there's neighbors nearby, but Americans don't know them anymore.
00:47:21.520And so, you can do things as simple as have coffee with them.
00:47:25.040And then I talk about several examples of groups and organizations that have organically grown up as a result of somebody just stepping out.
00:47:37.320I talk about a guy named Basil Firminos, who's in North Phoenix.
00:48:43.740And I heard a great priest talk about this recently on a YouTube video I watched, where he said, I'm tired of hearing about a liberal priest or a conservative priest.
00:51:06.640You know, if people went and swore off, you know, movies, TV shows that are on Netflix, people don't realize how far we have drifted just in the last 10 years.
00:51:21.200You can't watch anything anymore that, you know, you would have thought was good and wholesome 15 years ago.
00:51:51.200So, but, you know, Alinsky, who was the most powerful influence on the left and wrote Rules for Radicals, he was a great tactical strategist.
00:52:03.320And what he helped the left do was maximize their influence, but he did it by ridicule and ripping people apart.
00:52:13.340His strategies are incredibly divisive.
00:52:17.460And, in fact, you know, he dedicated his book to Lucifer, the most divisive person in the spiritual realm.
00:52:25.860And I actually encourage people to do the opposite of Alinsky, and that is start to love the people around you, start to love your neighbors, start to re-engage with your neighbors,
00:52:39.600and then find people like you that you want to work with, and then get involved in your school board race.
00:52:47.220Get involved in some of these key things, because, you know, we still have the Bill of Rights.
01:09:58.320In case you need a recap, some of the things discussed there was we're tired of the people coming to the meetings and wrecking the meetings.
01:10:06.320And Stephanie and her fellow board member, they keep coming and they're going to wreck all of these meetings.
01:10:15.280So then the next one says, well, I can keep it off the agenda.
01:11:00.280I really was because, you know, I understand that there's there's a divide within the board and that, you know, the existing board members didn't didn't want me on it.
01:11:09.660I certainly understand that that was made very clear in last year's election.
01:11:14.180But, you know, I was surprised that that anyone went to this level to do this.
01:11:19.960And it was very concerning to me to call, you know, to characterize the parents as being a hate crowd.
01:11:26.040These are parents who came and spent their time and spoke in most cases pretty eloquently about their concern about this bathroom practice that the district had had.
01:11:38.380And and quite honestly, is still practicing.
01:11:41.000So, you know, they're allowed to come and say that.
01:11:43.740And that doesn't make them a hate crowd.
01:11:45.900There were fathers coming concerned about their daughters.
01:11:48.800There were you know, there was a mom who came to her son had been impacted by this whole issue of having a biological girl in the boys restroom.
01:11:59.720And then, you know, when this mother complained to the school about that, they said, well, your son can use the nurse's restroom if he's uncomfortable.
01:12:10.920That's just, you know, someone who disagrees.
01:12:13.080And it's, you know, one of the things that concerns me the most about this whole environment that we live in, especially as it relates to school board elections, is if you don't agree with the establishment, then you're, you know, you're a hate crowd.
01:14:24.500There's also forums that have been online.
01:14:26.320In fact, I was interested to find out that the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, when they did their forum, that's kind of the biggest forum that we have here.
01:14:36.840They asked, you know, do you support getting out of the Texas Association of School Boards or not?
01:14:42.820Because another district recently did.
01:14:51.560The other thing I'll say, just to kind of get back to the video for a quick second, is that one of our state representatives did request that the TEA, the Texas Education Agency, do an investigation into this to see if there was any kind of wrongdoing.
01:15:07.600And so it is my understanding that that investigation has occurred.
01:15:11.600So there's been quite a bit of backlash to it, including from several of our elected officials who've gotten involved and are trying to do something to just stop this stuff.
01:15:22.020So the Texas Association of School Boards, you know, we we know about the school board associations nationally and the Texas teachers unions.
01:15:35.000They were instrumental in killing school choice here in Texas, which is incredible to me.
01:15:42.480We have so many spineless Republicans.
01:15:45.380What role do those guys play in school boards and and races like this?
01:15:51.660So the Texas Association of School Boards, all trustees become a member once they get sworn in.
01:15:58.380And if your district is a member of of that organization and all districts in Texas, except for one are and that that would be Carroll ISD in Southlake who recently just voted to get out of the Texas Association of School Boards.
01:16:36.620Yeah, I've seen them push quite a bit of progressive ideology.
01:16:41.880I was not a fan of that organization when I was running because I had heard about this concept called Team of Eight.
01:16:48.720And that is basically where you have seven trustees and a superintendent and you're supposed to be a team.
01:16:54.620And I thought, well, that that just seemed counterintuitive to me on the face of it, because I thought, well, aren't the trustees supposed to be there to, you know, oversee the district?
01:17:03.820And isn't the superintendent supposed to report to the board?
01:17:06.780And isn't the board supposed to be seven independent voices trying to make decisions for the community?
01:17:11.280So the whole Team of Eight concept, I ran a platform kind of against that.
01:17:15.740In fact, I think I've specifically said I will not be Team of Eight.
01:17:21.740So that was kind of my thoughts before I got on.
01:17:24.720And then, you know, when I got on the board, I had the chance last fall to go to a convention that was put on by the Texas Association of School Boards.
01:17:35.360And they brought in ACLU attorneys to talk to the trustees about some of these controversial issues.
01:17:54.080And I was quite honestly horrified because it was, you know, you have to allow pornographic books in libraries to make sure they're age appropriate, which meant to me, I guess, high school is okay, but maybe some books aren't okay for elementary school.
01:18:06.360But they basically told us there's no book, you know, that you should take out of the library.
01:18:11.160And some of these books are so explicit.
01:18:13.540And then they also, you know, said, you know, boys should be in girls' locker rooms.
01:18:18.480And, I mean, I heard them say it, and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that that's what they were doing.
01:18:23.740And so there's a lot of that stuff that goes on in the conventions.
01:18:28.020But even just a lot of the rhetoric from, you know, this organization, they basically said that when you, you know, when you become a trustee, you serve a district and not the voters.
01:18:39.340And I thought, well, that's, you know, what the heck is that?
01:18:42.360So I have not been a fan of this organization.
