00:07:48.120And they said, you won't make it if you're doing something really tough unless you're looking in the eyes of people who have walked those walks before.
00:07:57.040And I really learned my lesson that people like Martin Luther King, he wasn't fearless.
00:08:09.720Yeah, yeah, because it's a human emotion that we can't, you know, deny.
00:08:16.460And yet, even in the face of fear, soldiers, right, paramedics, police officers are all of our front line warriors.
00:08:25.900And then now us, the accidental activists, the, you know, advocates for children.
00:08:32.640And we have fear, but that's something I want to just let everyone know as we start this conversation, because to feel fear is normal and natural and an important mechanism, right, to protect ourselves.
00:08:47.140But in this day, and all times anyway, we have to still face that fear and still act.
00:08:54.040So there is one thing about fear when you say our first responders or our firemen, our police, our, you know, soldiers, they have one thing that Americans don't feel they have today.
00:09:08.040And that is a sense of camaraderie, a sense of belonging to a group.
00:09:14.940You know, it would change a lot if they thought that they were alone, if the vast majority of our of our brave soldiers, et cetera, et cetera, felt they were alone.
00:09:25.800And I want to get to I want to get to some of those organizations, some of them which you are involved in and help provide sources where people will feel like they're not alone and they can make an actual difference.
00:09:41.800But first, I want you to address where we we kind of left off yesterday.
00:09:46.320We talked just briefly about the nexus between Islamicists and critical race theory in schools.
00:09:59.140And, you know, for listeners who don't know me, I'll just introduce myself just for a minute just to give them context about what I carry in my heart.
00:10:08.100You know, I was born as the first generation post-colonial in India in 1965.
00:10:15.920My parents lived through British colonialism.
00:10:19.280So you could say that they lived under, quote, white supremacy because the British were white and there were my parents who are, quote, people of color.
00:11:13.720Well, my dad, even at that height, had hope in his heart and he came to America and he became a student here to study nutrition, to help people with food security issues and bring relief to humanity.
00:11:32.460My mother came and then brought my brother and me.
00:11:36.780They didn't come with a grudge in their heart, you know, against the, quote, systemic racism that had held our country hostage, right, for so many years.
00:11:51.480And I just bring this up because there's this choice that we can all make about how we're going to navigate our futures.
00:11:58.740And my parents made this really bold and pioneering decision to tap America's equality and vision for its citizens to improve the condition of our family.
00:12:12.740And that's the family in which I grew up, right?
00:12:15.620And then I was a young Muslim girl, didn't go to my prom because I wasn't allowed to dance with the boys, never dated until I secretly did, never had a beer until my friend Danny Pearl introduced me to the delicacies of wheat beer.
00:12:38.880But, you know, this is all just to say that, you know, we're all on these journeys.
00:12:46.280And then 9-11 happened and my dear friend Danny was kidnapped and murdered.
00:12:54.540And I had my reality check that, hey, there is this interpretation within Islam that is dangerous, that is laying siege to beautiful, innocent human beings like Danny.
00:13:12.740And what I encountered is exactly what you did, Glenn.
00:13:17.500You know, our biographies are completely different, but our analysis is similar, which is there is an interpretation within Islam that's problematic.
00:13:26.720Just like in every other religion and every other society, there's an extreme strain.
00:13:31.060But we got branded racist and Islamophobe.
00:13:36.440And it was only last summer that I finally could put the pieces together that our Islamists, these people that you described really well as folks who want Islam and religion in governance, they use...
00:14:58.460But I finally, last summer, got to really understand that what they did is they had no defense, really, to their illiberal ideas.
00:15:12.160So what they had to do was create a defense.
00:15:16.700And one of your listeners actually put it really well in a tweet that he wrote in response to the video you posted yesterday from our interview.
00:15:27.460He said that they used critical race theory as a shield to protect their bad ideas.
00:15:34.760And what they could do then is racialize Muslims, make us a race, so that you became racist if you criticize extremism.
00:15:43.700And that is what we've faced over these last 20 years as we've grappled with this industry, right, that calls everybody an Islamophobe if they dare to talk about the extremism issue.
00:15:58.980So I've got to take a one-minute break, and then I want to come back.
00:16:02.320And if you can get into the meat, you said yesterday that you have seen school board members and people involved in education that you kind of scratched your head at first
00:16:12.000and went, wait a minute, why is this so popular with people you would say are Islamists?
00:16:46.760First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
00:16:50.460I'm guessing you feel as though, you know, you feel the same way as I do.
00:16:54.780It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history.
00:16:58.340You probably think that things are really wrong in America.
00:17:03.720You probably also don't have a problem with private businesses doing what they're doing, but all of a sudden this has been distorted and you've never been a boycotter, but you got to do something.
00:17:16.240This is the easiest way to take a stand.
00:17:19.560And I can't urge you enough to do this.
00:17:22.840If we just pick one thing and go after one thing, it will send a message that the left to the left, the right is standing up.
00:17:34.400And I don't like boycotting because you're cutting something out of your life.
00:17:38.440No, I'm asking you to replace something you have that I think is bad, that you can replace it with something that is really good.
00:17:47.520Let's say you have Verizon as a cell phone company.
00:17:49.720They are giving money to Planned Parenthood.
00:17:52.120They are giving money to anti-Second Amendment groups.
00:17:55.940You know, you might have coverage and whatever with Verizon, but is that worth paying them so they take some of that money and work against your rights?
00:18:36.620This is the Glenn Beck Program, and we have Azrin Omani on with us.
00:18:52.360So how is the Islamist movement involved at all, and why would they be involved with getting critical race theory into our schools?
00:19:03.940Yeah, so Glenn, let me tell you how I realized this happened.
00:19:09.520In the summer of 2020, the Secretary of Education started secret meetings in order to eliminate the merit-based race-blind test at my son's high school in northern Virginia called Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
00:19:28.000It's the number one high school in America, creating scientists and inventors.
00:19:34.600This method has become replicated in San Francisco, Boston, New York, in order to destroy merit and advanced learning in the name of, quote, equity.
00:19:48.280Right, and they're saying that whiteness, so it's important to understand, when they say whiteness is a problem, what they mean are things like merit-based programs.
00:19:59.200So striving to achieve, actually achieving something, working for what you get.
00:20:05.120That's the Western culture, and that's what they want destroyed.
00:20:09.740Yeah, and ultimately, you know, it's a universal culture, right, also, because everybody, like in many cultures, strives to accomplish.
00:20:18.380So you cannot attribute it simply to white supremacy, as you're trying to do.
00:20:22.920Because my family is the perfect example.
00:20:25.400That's why I wanted to introduce your listeners to my family's story, because we are 70% Asian at my son's school.
00:20:33.780My family is emblematic of this story of immigrants pursuing the American dream.
00:20:38.940But Glenn, get this, that Secretary of Education, his name is Atif Carney.
00:20:45.740I looked up his political contributions, and he is funded by the Islamist Network in Northern Virginia.
00:43:22.540And so this, this, this is really, I could have done this in a private phone call if she would have, if she would have done this with me and my son.
00:43:28.600But I thought it was really important because I know I'm not alone.
00:43:31.520How do you equip your kids to even just not be a pariah?
00:43:37.940Dr. Deborah So joins us in 60 seconds.
00:44:30.780I don't know if you can lift a piano anymore.
00:44:32.520But relief factor will be there to take away the pains from the times when you were lifting pianos or doing whatever it is that you were doing.
00:44:42.34070% of the people who try it go on to order more because it works for them, which means there's about 30% of the population this isn't going to work for.
00:47:30.240So someone might be born male and identifies female or vice versa.
00:47:33.800And then you have some people who, and intersex refers to people who were born with a medical condition in which they possess both male and female anatomy.
00:47:42.820And intersex that used to be called hermaphroditism, right?
00:47:47.460That's not considered a sensitive term today.
00:47:50.500So intersex is usually preferred or people with a difference in sex development.
00:47:54.560And then there are some people who identify as a third gender.
00:47:59.400So there's an example of this would be non-binary or gender fluid, or some people use the term gender queer, although I don't like that term because I consider queer to be a slur.
00:48:09.680But science shows that there are two sexes, two genders.
00:48:14.480I say people can identify however they want, but from a scientific perspective, there are two.
00:48:20.560So if we stay on science, this is the part that was all falling apart because I said to my son, chromosomes, you can scientifically find out if you are a male or a female.
00:48:37.740In 99% of the cases, scientifically, because of the way you're built, you're either male or female.
00:48:51.840And it didn't used to be different, but I don't agree with, you know, identifying as a hundred different things because I believe there's only two.
00:49:01.640And I believe if you want to be transgendered, you scientifically are not the other gender, but you are choosing to be that other gender.
00:49:15.400And, you know, some parts have been changed on you and that's fine.
00:49:19.040And I don't, I don't hate you for it and I'm, you know, whatever, but you're not a female.
00:49:24.280If you were a male, that doesn't fly anymore, does it?
00:49:29.700So biological sex, the concept of biological sex has been deemed hateful.
00:49:33.660And I don't think it needs to be, I understand why, because I think it can be used in a very insensitive way to marginalize people who identify as transgender.
00:49:44.200But from a scientific perspective, someone who, say a trans woman, she may identify as female and I'm happy to acknowledge her as female, but from a biological perspective, she was born male.
00:49:57.980Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, because this is what, this is what I'm saying to my son.
00:50:02.480Look, if I know you and I, you know, even if I don't know you and you're identifying as a, as a female and you were a male, you still biologically, still scientifically, you are a male.
00:50:17.020However, if you identify as a female, I have no problem saying, hi, ma'am, how are you?
00:50:22.680You know, whatever, unless that's offensive now and identifying.
00:50:26.800However, if push comes to shove and my son or I'm, you know, in a court of law or whatever, and my son says she looks awfully manly, I would say, don't say that.
00:51:04.120I mean, I have a chapter in the end of gender that talks about the differences between women who are born women and trans women, because nowadays the narrative is that there are no differences.
00:51:14.340And again, I think we can talk about these differences, as you mentioned, in a way that is compassionate, but still also be scientifically accurate, because there are differences and those differences play out in meaningful ways.
00:51:25.760And I think especially when it comes to this ideology, it's extremely confusing and it's dishonest to tell people otherwise.
00:51:31.580So how do we now let's talk to our kids, your kid sits down with you, Deborah, and says, Mom, I I don't I'm being called hateful because I'm talking about science and they're saying sex doesn't matter.
00:51:53.980What I would suggest saying to a child is that I would say from as young as an age you can, let them know that what they're being taught in school may not actually reflect reality, which is really sad to have to say.
00:52:09.180But plant the seed so that they know and that they feel they can come and talk to you and ask questions because they are going I mean, this is they're targeting kids in kindergarten.
00:52:18.700I heard you speak about how this is in first grade curriculum.
00:52:49.300When they're teaching kids that are things that are not actually true.
00:52:51.360And like you said, 100 genders or however many people, everyone's gender fluid.
00:52:55.080So I would say let them know that the science says that there are two sexes, two genders for the for the most part, gender and sex are the same.
00:53:05.200And as you said, with gender reveal parties, those are actually sex reveal parties because an unborn child cannot tell an adult which gender they are.
00:53:23.880And I think sometimes people will use the word gender because they don't want to use the word sex because sex has that connotation with human sexuality.
00:53:35.100But I think the separation between sex and gender is this greater push from trans activism.
00:53:41.540But then there's also this weird conflation, because now what some activists will say is that a trans person, so a trans woman is biologically female, which is not true.
00:53:52.340And I don't think it should be considered big to say that because it's just not factually true.
00:53:56.640So there's so much confusion about it.
00:53:58.660And then I would just say, yeah, let your kids know people can identify as a third gender if they want or whatever.
00:54:05.540But again, and be kind to these people.
00:55:36.760I mean, I would say that's another super contentious issue.
00:55:41.480But again, I think we have to be able to talk about it because there are serious implications in this case for for girls who are competing against them.
00:55:55.060What I would say is actually in my book, I have all of the citations.
00:55:58.320So you can use that as a reference because I would have colleagues who would say to me, what do I do when I go into these meetings with the principal or administration?
00:56:06.300And they say the quote unquote, new science backs up what they're teaching.
00:56:10.760And I said, well, that was the inspiration of my book was to offer a reference to people who just want to know objectively what is the truth.
00:58:00.920So if he goes on to to we spoke a bit about this last time.
00:58:04.880And once you get to university, it is no different.
00:58:08.500And it is in the academic sciences even.
00:58:10.940And so it's it's crazy to me, the extent to which knowledge now is being basically taken hostage, because it's not about just advocating for equal rights, which I think is a good thing.
00:58:23.940I mean, I used to be very much in favor of social justice when I was younger.
00:58:27.180I've come to a bit of a different perspective on social justice now.
00:58:30.880And I think it's actually quite harmful.
00:58:32.360So it's the fact that there's no there's no debate, there's no attempt to understand even the other side or whether your your perspective is correct in terms of activism.
00:58:44.820Activists just really want to shut down people who disagree with them and they want to contort science to fit whatever agenda they have.
01:00:49.200Stu, you did a great monologue last night, and I know we don't have time to get into all of it, but you did a great monologue last night where you did Johnson and Johnson and the vaccines.
01:01:05.800There's a new poll out that shows that 23 percent of Americans are now less confident in the vaccines because of what they did with Johnson and Johnson.
01:01:17.600I mean, it's it's insane when you look at the actual numbers.
01:01:53.820We all know that every medication has the possibility of a negative side effect.
01:01:58.840But when you compare it to the risks for, you know, for an ongoing pandemic, like the only real decision to be made is if you were a very young person at the very young, youngest ages of eligibility in an area where, you know, COVID wasn't really an issue.
01:02:21.500You know, it's a pretty close case as to whether this would be, you know, a risk reward profile for you.
01:02:27.720But I mean, you know, if you're anyone who's getting the Johnson and Johnson vaccine anyway is probably going to be older and there's no evidence of this whatsoever.
01:02:38.160You know, luckily, we have the luxury of having two other completely different vaccines that are totally a different type and don't have any of these side effects.
01:02:46.520So, you know, we have a luxury of a big supply of those.
01:02:51.120So it shouldn't really, you know, but it screws with people's heads.
01:02:54.460You know, if we can't if you can't answer this in one sentence, write it down so we can talk about it either later or tomorrow.
01:03:00.780But when I was up in Connecticut, people were like, you didn't get the vaccine.
01:03:57.240Because your computer might have been hacked, your cell phone been hacked, you might have stayed at a hotel where your information was shared from some hacker.
01:04:05.620Don't have to worry about that tax return anymore, because somebody else, a cyber criminal, has taken all that information, and they are now spending your tax dollars or your rebate tax dollars on, you know, whatever they want.
01:05:15.000Let me give you a couple of things on why we really need to look at the economy and be prepared for what is coming.
01:05:24.460I want you just, I feel like my job is to warn you of the things that are coming when I can give you ways to navigate around, but at least so you can hear the warning and decide yourself what you're going to do with that.
01:05:45.600Right now, there is, it's a weird thing.
01:05:49.420Millennials now, for the first time, can afford home ownership, but there's a problem.
01:05:57.160There's not enough houses to go around that are starter houses.
01:06:01.140So 30 and 34-year-olds are getting into buying their homes.
01:06:08.580Increasing numbers of between 25 and 29 are buying their first homes.
01:06:14.340And the issue is, there's no homes being built right now.
01:08:06.300Now analysts are predicting that a shortage of pork could send the hot dog and bacon prices soaring if it could be found at all in the stores.
01:08:18.000The pork shortage comes now as many states are easing up on their COVID restrictions, dropping the mask mandates and opening restaurants, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
01:08:28.360So you have an increase of prices of any kind of pork products.
01:08:35.260Chlorine to treat swimming pools, that price is skyrocketing.
01:10:08.780OK, maybe I believe them and then I'm inconvenienced for a while.
01:10:14.180But if I'm building a billion dollar industry, a billion dollar structure and it's making styrofoam and if the power goes out, everything sets and congeals.
01:10:35.000You know, I think I I think I don't roll that dice.
01:10:37.900So now styrofoam that will be any kind of styrofoam, anything that is like the biggest maker of that.
01:10:49.220The plant is down and Chevron has come out and said they're working on a plan to be able to reopen and fulfill some orders, but they don't know what that plan is yet.
01:11:03.580So anybody who had an order in for this stuff, you had they canceled all orders and said, reapply and we'll try to get you a price and a time.
01:11:14.340So everything is going is skyrocketing at the same time.
01:11:21.480Jobs are coming back and you can't hire anybody because you're not paying them enough.
01:12:31.020But all of these problems are coming because of our policies.
01:12:35.500And I told you years ago, there's going to come a time where in this place where it's a giant crunch of of the industrial revolution, except now it's the technological revolution.
01:12:53.780And there's going to be fewer and fewer jobs for people to do.
01:12:57.800And so the argument is universal basic income.
01:13:00.960And we did a show on it years ago because I said, look, you have to start thinking about these things now because truck drivers are going to lose their jobs.
01:13:09.560And there's going to be huge unemployment and, you know, high tech will be deemed a bad guy.
01:13:16.800Government will be deemed a bad guy because they won't have a way out.
01:14:10.640They talk about how a line cook at Dale's Diner starts at eleven dollars an hour, up two dollars an hour over what it was before the pandemic.
01:14:17.540So they've already gone from nine to eleven dollars an hour, according to the owner.
01:14:22.340That's four hundred forty dollars a week or seven hundred and sixty dollars a month, roughly twenty one K a year, not including overtime or business.
01:14:29.780Right. But they're paying eleven bucks an hour, twenty one K a year, but pandemic driven unemployment often pays more, sometimes far more.
01:14:36.520In Ohio, according to data from from the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the state provided weekly unemployment benefits that averaged three hundred and forty dollars.
01:14:45.680Add that to the unemployment supplements from the federal government, which have ranged between three hundred and six hundred dollars per week, depending on which covid law funded them.
01:14:54.700And you have some workers paid between six hundred and forty and nine hundred and forty dollars per week to stay home between thirty three thousand and almost fifty thousand on an annualized basis.
01:15:03.680So if you're a person who's looking at a job for a dishwasher and your your argument is, do I work a full week for four hundred and forty dollars or do I stay home for a minimum of six hundred and forty dollars and maybe up to nine hundred and forty dollars?
01:15:19.640What decision are you going to make? And the guy who owns the diner says that he would normally get.
01:15:27.380You know, he would put out, you know, a call for a new job and he would get anywhere from six to twelve applications in the first week or whatever.
01:15:36.460And we get to take our pick. We'll get to pick the best of the bunch within the last couple of months.
01:15:40.600We don't even get a call when he posts a job there.
01:15:44.200There's a story in the New York Post that's very similar to this.
01:15:47.080They're talking about a firm, a law firm that is offering forty thousand dollars for for, you know, just being an assistant, you know, an executive assistant.
01:16:00.660Forty thousand dollars is starting pay.
01:16:02.140They said that they are getting calls and applications.
01:16:07.660But when they call them back and say, hey, we saw your application, we'd love to have you come in for an interview.
01:16:14.780They're not they're not getting even callbacks.
01:16:18.000And this law firm said it's because they're just fulfilling their unemployment.
01:16:24.120You know, obligation. Have you filed for any jobs?
01:16:27.400You've been out looking for a job. Yep. I've sent my applications out.
01:16:30.320They're not even returning the phone calls.
01:16:33.240I mean, we are we are in such a bad place.
01:16:37.160And here's what's happening at the same time.
01:16:39.460Did you see the Taco Bell in New York City?
01:16:42.560I've seen lots of Taco Bells in New York City, frankly, I used to work there all the time.
01:16:46.860There's a new one that has no order takers.
01:17:54.520And it's still warm because it's this this thing has been made to keep food warm and that, you know, that the pizza isn't upside down.
01:18:03.460There goes all of the pizza delivery entry jobs.
01:18:06.460I mean, we are creating this perfect storm right now where universal basic income is going to be embraced by people because they don't want to work anymore.
01:18:19.540And then if they did, they can't get a job.
01:20:52.160R U F F greens dot com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn 33 833 Glenn 33 rough greens dot com slash Beck.
01:21:00.160You are listening to the Glenn Beck program last night on Blaze TV and you can you can watch it on demand right now at Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn.

01:21:18.360But we went over critical race theory in schools and we are going to do part two here in just a second.
01:21:26.980We are going to give you the resources where you can get involved and make sure you stop this poison from being injected into your school.
01:22:28.720It's a family owned and operated business that started, I don't even know, 20 years ago and they have grown and grown and grown.
01:22:37.460And now they cover the entire country and they cover you coast to coast.
01:22:41.480So whatever you're looking for now is the time to do it.
01:22:45.400These interest rates are at all time lows and you can save hundreds, if not a thousand dollars or more just by contacting American financing dot net.
01:24:42.120He's written a book that just came out called Grow Up.
01:24:46.980Life isn't safe, but it's good to talk about some common sense.
01:24:51.420And I've also asked him to come prepared with some university names that you can check out that that your kids are not going to be indoctrinated at.
01:27:36.880And let me just pick it up kind of where we touched on yesterday.
01:27:42.960And then we're going to get to some resources.
01:27:44.940If you missed yesterday, critical race theory is a theory whose really primary objective, as we talked about last night, comes from the Frankfurt School, which is a socialist Marxist school.
01:28:01.220It is to divide us and to get us to destroy each other and the Western way of life.
01:28:10.000That is its designed purpose from the beginning.
01:28:15.920Now, you can say it's all about equity and everything else, but that is what it will do.
01:28:19.700And it will destroy our families and our children.
01:28:23.300I want to talk to Lori, who's joining us now.
01:28:29.000There was a story in Newsweek about the pathway to equitable math instruction.
01:28:34.820And the reason why I want to go into this is because it was funded by the Gates Foundation.
01:28:40.540And, you know, Bill Gates has done a lot of good.
01:28:43.420But he, I think, looks at our children as, you know, the workers that he'll need.
01:28:50.340Your whole purpose in life is to just work for the corporations.
01:28:55.340I believe that's the way he feels about things.
01:28:58.140And he's taking away our choices of our kids by some of the measurements that he wants to use.
01:29:03.300It's, you know, watching how their eyes dilate, et cetera, et cetera.
01:29:09.660When it comes to math, I can't find anything in this program that he's helping fund that will help a corporation or help anyone.
01:29:20.780Because it's not really even about math.
01:29:26.600Glenn, thank you again for having me on today.
01:29:29.300And especially to talk about resources for parents, because the good news is that there is a lot that parents can do to make a difference in their schools and lots of resources out there.
01:29:40.160But back to the math program, it's interesting that you bring that up because it is certainly Bill Gates or anybody else's prerogative to have an opinion on whether there is white supremacy in math or whether certain math practices are white supremacists.
01:29:57.600But our focus as educators is the harm that this will do to students in the classroom.
01:30:03.300And the problem with this ideology in a math curriculum is that it doesn't set up teachers for success in teaching math to their students.
01:30:12.680It literally pits students against each other if a certain math practice is called white supremacists.
01:30:24.480What are they suggesting you do as a math teacher?
01:30:29.340Well, there are many concerning things about the pathway to equitable math.
01:30:34.760One of the most concerning things is that there actually are good math teaching practices in this pathway document, but they're going to be lost under the characterization of white supremacy.
01:30:48.460And what was interesting is I actually have a colleague who had a conversation about this with a very progressive school board member who actually agreed.
01:30:59.540So the school board member agreed that there is white supremacy in math classrooms.
01:31:03.960But even this progressive school board member agreed that this is a harmful way of teaching students and that characterizing math practices as white supremacists is going to alienate most of the teachers out there.
01:31:18.440So any good in the pathway document will be lost in the noise.
01:31:22.120Okay, yesterday we talked a little bit about what to look for in your schools and, you know, I just wish there was, you know, documents out there and that's what I want to talk to you about.
01:31:38.040There are resources that show you what to look for and how to fight it.
01:31:42.660And I was talking to one of, I think, one of this century's great fighters at the beginning of this program, and we were talking about how, you know, it's a scary thing.
01:31:56.000But, you know, our military, they're scared.
01:31:58.940They go in and, you know, they don't know what they're facing.
01:32:29.160We all know that there is a problem, and the most important thing to talk about is what to do.
01:32:34.500And the good news is that there are lots of resources for parents, educators, community members who want to take action.
01:32:41.000Whether you're an experienced advocate or you don't even know what a school board does, there are things that you can do right now, even today, to get started and make a difference.
01:32:51.940And I want to thank everybody who's listening right now because you've taken the first step.
01:32:56.740And the first step is to get informed.
01:32:59.220And by listening right now, you're starting to get informed and educated.
01:33:02.340I mean, unless this is being used, you know, as a torture device and, you know, you're strapped to a table and you're like, you're going to listen to the Glenn Beck program, then you might not have a choice.
01:33:13.480But so let's let's go over some of these some of these organizations.
01:33:24.940So fair for all is foundation against intolerance and racism.
01:33:30.000It is a fabulous repository of resources, parent and teacher advocacy field guides and more.
01:33:36.940A key resource on fair, and I'm going to highlight some of my favorites on all these organizations, are the community forums, because your point is absolutely right.
01:33:48.060We don't want to feel like we're doing this alone.
01:33:50.320These community forums on fair are a fantastic way to ask specific questions with people who are doing exactly the kind of advocacy that parents and community members are doing to get advice.
01:34:04.160If you don't know where to start, this is a great place to ask to get into fair, to join fair, get into the forums.
01:34:10.300And these forums will help guide you to resources that are in your state and to connect with others around a specific issue.
01:34:39.040Parents Defending Education, Azra's organization, is absolutely wonderful.
01:34:43.840They also are a plethora of resources for parents, community members, teachers who want to make a difference fighting indoctrination in our classrooms.
01:34:55.740A key resource on Parents Defending Education is what they call their, quote, indoctrination map.
01:35:03.820And it's an interactive map for people who want to connect to what's going on in their local communities.
01:35:11.240In fact, after yesterday's show, I got an email from a parent in Indiana who was trying to fight indoctrination in his children's school and needed to connect with others.
01:35:24.100Because, as you pointed out, having a group to work with is really powerful.
01:35:29.160I was able to point him to the indoctrination map.
01:35:32.420And through that, he's going to be able to connect to specific resources in Indiana that will help him with his advocacy.
01:35:57.400This one is really focused on sex ed, are they not?
01:36:00.740So no left turn in education is focused on a broad set of indoctrination in our schools, including critical race theory and comprehensive sex ed.
01:36:12.240One of no left turn in education's many, many strengths is that it has chapters in just about every state.
01:36:19.560So you can get state-specific support.
01:36:22.180And that's key because the education code, which is something that all of us advocates will get familiar with, they're different in every state.
01:36:31.160And it's a powerful tool when you go in to advocate if you know what the education code is specifically for your school.
01:36:37.960So no left turn in education is a great way of connecting with like-minded advocates in your state for resources and support.
01:37:06.260So that is one of the things I love about PragerU.
01:37:09.660And their resources for educators and parents have the acronym PREP, Prager Resources for Educators and Parents.
01:37:17.240And what I love about this site is that students are really the ones on the front lines of what's going on in our schools with critical race theory.
01:37:25.960And it's important that they have the resources and that they're equipped with how to respond when this comes up in school.
01:37:32.120And PragerU has videos, resources, all kinds of information for parents and for children so that they can advocate for themselves in an age-appropriate, great-appropriate way.
01:37:59.580So Undoctrinate is resources for resources.
01:38:05.280One of my favorite pages on this site, it has a link, it's called Resources, has links to all kinds of national and local groups that will support you in your advocacy.
01:38:17.200So it's a condensed version of the indoctrination map on Parents Defending Education.
01:38:23.200But a great place to go if you want to connect either with national organizations or region-specific organizations for support in your advocacy.
01:38:33.000Okay, let me take one minute break and then come back and tell me the last two and your favorites, the ones you think that are must visits for parents.
01:38:44.640Oh my gosh, it is nice to get away from screens all day sometimes, just put on a good tune or a podcast in your ear, and you could listen to whatever set of earbuds you have floating around the house that haven't already been lost or stolen from you by the kids.
01:38:59.300But if you're like me, you like something comfortable that has great sound quality, give your ears the royal treatment at half the cost.
01:39:06.760That's what you're doing when you buy a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds.
01:39:11.860Unlike a lot of competitors, Raycons are incredibly comfortable, adjustable to your individual ear size, which mine is becoming like Dumbo sized.
01:39:21.320I don't know why, but the sound quality is out of this world, and the best part is you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for them.
01:39:29.320They're about half the cost of the leading competitor's product, and you don't have to sacrifice any of the quality, and you get more comfort.
01:39:53.700So we're with Lori Myers, and we're talking about critical race theory, and if you're a parent, you must, must join with other parents and fight this from coming into your schools.
01:40:18.720And it's going to be a tough fight, and you can't stand alone.
01:40:22.860And if you're new to it, you really need to brush up and have some resources to help you.
01:40:29.640Lori, tell me about the last two, and then go over what you think are must-do.
01:40:39.180It's a nonpartisan nonprofit that's dedicated to viewpoint diversity, which is absolutely key when it comes to critical race theory, which tends to have a one-sided view of the world.
01:40:53.640And it has resources for higher education, but also resources that are specific for K-12 parents and educators.
01:41:02.500So I highly recommend going to Heterodox Academy, especially if the way you're seeing critical race theory manifest in your children's classroom is that they are getting a narrow, one-sided perspective instead of a balanced view on education.
01:41:30.080And what's interesting is that I've looked up codes of conduct, not just for the NEA, which is the largest teacher union in the country, but codes of conduct for different states, Florida, Ohio, California, and more.
01:41:43.960And just about all of them insist that teachers, and I'm quoting, shall not unreasonably deny students access to varying points of view.
01:41:54.600So that's actually mandated by state education code.
01:41:59.760So Heterodox can provide lots of resources for combating that in the classroom.
01:42:10.360And the last national resource, and then I just want to give a shout out to a few local ones.
01:42:15.540The last national resource is whataretheylearning.com.
01:42:21.740And this is a parent-powered K-12 community focused on transparency, which is key.
01:42:29.940On many of the websites that I've talked about is the quote, sunshine is the best disinfectant.
01:42:35.700And that's the theme of whataretheylearning.com.
01:42:39.180It's exposing what's going on in classrooms so that other parents can see what's happening and from each other learn advocacy tools to help make a difference.
01:42:55.620If you even get onto the Internet and search for Parents Against Critical Theory or Ethnic Studies, you will find no shortage of parent groups, Facebook groups that are dedicated to helping you in your community.
01:43:11.280Parents Against Critical Theory in Lawton County.
01:43:14.540Parents United Against Critical Theory in Arizona.
01:43:17.720Alliance for Constructive Ethnic Studies in California.
01:43:21.340Northwest Parents Against Critical Theory in the Pacific Northwest.
01:43:27.720If you don't have somebody in your community right now, connect with one of these organizations to give you the support and the network and the resources you need to make a difference.
01:43:38.940And we have found that once one person starts to speak up, other people are emboldened to speak up.
01:43:45.860All you need to do is take the first step and it will make a difference.
01:44:50.160There's something about a business being family-owned and fully geared towards the best interests of its customers that has always meant something important to Americans.
01:44:58.240And it may mean even more in the coming months.
01:45:01.120The world of home loan options isn't always a friendly one, especially to you, and navigating it can be really tricky.
01:45:08.320Everyone always says they're out to help you, but are they?
01:45:13.980Since June of 2001, American Financing has been dedicated to working with you to get help for your finances where they need to be.
01:45:24.020They started in home, moved outward to your home, and they've been working for you and not the bank ever since.
01:45:30.680Whether it's home loans, mortgage refi, or forms of debt consolidation, American Financing has you covered.
01:45:37.500They have a dedicated team of mortgage consultants that are going to take care of you and help you get your best financial house right where it needs to be.

01:46:07.500Hey, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:46:14.960I have an incredible, an incredible podcast that debuts today on BlazeTV.
01:46:24.960You'll pick it up on Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts, but it's worth being a member of the Blaze and getting it early.
01:46:30.820I'm doing an interview in just a little while today with Glenn Greenwald, and this is a guy that I wasn't sure whose side he was on.
01:46:41.540If he was on the good side or the bad side for a while, you know, those are in the days when it was hard to tell the difference between good guys and bad guys.
01:46:49.380It's becoming really clear right now who actually believes in the freedom of man.
01:46:55.380Glenn Greenwald joins me on the podcast today.
01:46:58.940If you're a Blaze subscriber or Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts.
01:47:03.740We also have Jordan Peterson coming up, I think, next week on the podcast.
01:47:10.080Somebody who's very much like Jordan Peterson, kind of cut from the same cloth in many ways, is a dear friend of mine who I think we met because of an op-ed that he wrote a few years ago.
01:47:51.520I think when you wrote that, you were the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, which is still one of the good universities that you can go to.
01:47:59.100And I want to talk to you about universities because I hear people, they all know that universities are a problem, but they're all still sending their kids to the same universities.
01:48:48.120In Not a Daycare, the first book that you helped push forward, I was confronting the Snowflake Rebellion and this constant crying and whining within the academy for safe spaces, the complaints about microaggressions and trigger warnings and whatnot.
01:49:06.660In this book, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good, I'm actually offering some solutions to that problem.
01:49:13.340And I'm suggesting that, as C.S. Lewis tells us in the Chronicles of Narnia, the great lion Aslan is not safe, but he's good.
01:49:20.480The Christ figure is not safe, but he's good.
01:49:23.020And let's just paraphrase that, Glenn.
01:49:25.020The great lion of the ivory tower of the academy isn't supposed to be safe.
01:50:19.620My book, Grow Up, Life Isn't Safe, But It's Good, confronts this, but yet offers 20 chapters, lessons on how to function like an adult in a world that looks like a daycare more on a daily basis.
01:50:32.700Because honestly, I'm running out of answers.
01:50:35.840The only answer that I know that is true is God.
01:50:40.080If we don't turn back to God and the fundamental principles of the Judeo-Christian understanding of how life works, and we've rarely lived up to those things, but if we're not pursuing that, we're toast.
01:51:04.980The reason you're out of other solutions is it is the solution.
01:51:09.420The reason that the United States of America has been exceptional is because we were grounded in exceptional ideas, and those exceptional ideas were the truths that were given to us by our creator, those self-evident truths that are endowed to us.
01:51:25.220Not the opinions and feelings that we came up with five minutes ago, but those time-tested truths that are endowed by God.
01:51:33.020So maybe the solution is to start recognizing that the problem started in the classroom and at the pulpit, and frankly, even in helicopter parenting, and go back and correct the problem in the classroom at the pulpit and through parenting.
01:51:47.480So if garbage in, garbage out has caused the problem, maybe we ought to go back and recognize that goodness in and goodness out that's grounded in the creator rather than in our own narcissism will actually bear some positive fruit.
01:52:02.280Maybe teach natural law rather than narcissism.
01:52:12.100Go back to the time-tested truths and recognize that those are the things, the only things, that have ever given us any measure of human liberty and dignity.
01:52:20.920You know, I really, I like the fact that you said education in the pulpits because it's the teachers and preachers that have brought us here.
01:52:29.740The preachers stopped talking about universal truths and how they actually apply to big things.
01:52:38.220And, you know, they instead bought a smoke machine.
01:52:42.700And then we have the teachers who many of them didn't even know what they were doing.
01:52:48.940It was just the way things were going.
01:52:51.480But a lot of people, especially in the universities, they knew exactly what they were doing.
01:52:55.460And by them teaching wrong principles and the pulpits just sitting on their hands, either out of fear of losing funding or whatever it was, those two things have really done the vast majority of damage.
01:53:20.340Well, excuse me, I have the right to agree with you and I have the right to disagree with my own and call them out.
01:53:25.460I'm an evangelical, so I'm going to call out the evangelicals if they're wrong.
01:53:29.380It's my obligation, my responsibility to do so.
01:53:31.880And my entire career was the ivory tower, so I'm going to criticize it if it needs to be.
01:53:36.940And if your goal as a preacher or a teacher is not the objective truths with a capital T that have been revealed to us over the course of time through Scripture and through natural law and through the empirical evidence before our very eyes,
01:53:52.040if your goal is not to pursue that and teach that and preach that, then go get another job.
01:53:57.200Because all you're doing is affirming someone's feelings and their brokenness.
01:54:02.100And that's the antithesis of biblical love.
01:56:22.380Very much teaching the exceptionalism of the Constitution and the American way of life.
01:56:30.980Very much grounded in a Judeo-Christian ethic.
01:56:33.780So three schools, New St. Andrews, College of the Ozarks, and Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan.
01:56:41.520Hillsdale is kind of the Harvard of trustworthy schools, isn't it?
01:56:48.940I mean, is it hard to get into Hillsdale?
01:56:52.980Well, I don't know how to answer that.
01:56:55.640My guess is probably yes, because they're a small school.
01:56:58.220And their endowment is so huge right now because they've told the line.
01:57:01.780Hillsdale had the courage back in the 60s to say, we're going to be conservative.
01:57:05.760We're going to conserve the time-tested truths as the basis for education here.
01:57:10.740And we're not going to be bribed by the federal dollar.
01:57:14.200So they said, no, you can't use a Pell Grant to go here.
01:57:17.480We'll go raise enough money to pay for the replacement of those dollars.
01:57:21.940And today, some 50 years later or thereabout, Hillsdale stands strong as the only truly independent institution left in the country.
01:57:29.940Wow. Hillsdale College, that's in Michigan, College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri, and New St. Andrews in Moscow, Idaho.
01:57:43.080It is a sad state of affairs when you can name three that you say, I'm willing to put my name on.
01:57:50.500Well, the reason I named those is because I've watched what they're doing in the midst of this cultural nonsense, this collapse, this perpetual childishness and narcissism that's being driven by identity politics.
01:58:06.120And the most recent rendition of that CRT and all the things critical theory.
01:58:28.100You're trying to do what the Apostle Paul told the Church of Ephesus, and that is speak the truth objectively, empirically, in love, and love's better than tolerance and affirmation, and grow up.
01:58:41.820Dr. Everett Piper, the author of Grow Up.
01:58:54.140I don't know if you've been seeing what is happening with the money spending, but we are spending ourselves like there is no tomorrow, like money is free.
01:59:07.460I'm reminded of the poem from Rudyard Kipling, The Gods of the Copybook Headings, where he says there was plenty of money.
01:59:16.480We had plenty of money, but nothing our money could buy.
01:59:19.920That talks about a collapse of currency.
01:59:23.120I mean, they just keep printing and printing.
01:59:25.140You'll have lots of money, but you're not going to be able to buy anything, and that's what's happening to our dollar.
01:59:31.040Our dollar is losing value, and if you've always played by the rules, you are going to lose the value of everything that you have worked hard for.
01:59:40.920If your money is stored in U.S. dollars over the next four years, you could lose 48 cents on every dollar just because the way it's being debased.
01:59:52.500And that's today, let alone what they're going to be coming up with.
02:00:04.520Please, please put your financial house in order.
02:00:08.140With every single order, if you place one this week, this week only, you're going to qualify for a free Mind Your Business silver bar at no cost.
02:00:17.500The Mind Your Business, it's a stamp that I asked them to put on years ago because that's what our first coin said.
02:00:58.700I don't know what it is, but almost every time it seems that we have something going live on YouTube, there's a glitch of some sort that just mysteriously happens.
02:01:08.680And it might be just the worst luck ever, but it happened again last night.
02:01:13.340We have reposted the show from last night up on YouTube.
02:01:17.780All you have to do is go to The Blaze at YouTube.
02:01:22.580Go to YouTube.com slash The Blaze and look for last night's special.
02:01:29.000The Wednesday night special and watch it there.
02:01:32.660You didn't have a problem last night on Blaze TV.
02:01:34.660Yeah, same thing happened to my show, Studios America, last night.
02:01:37.480And I was disappointed because I was on my Instagram page and there was, first of all, a comment.
02:01:45.560I noted that you were on the show and then there was a gushing comment from one of my followers saying how they thought you were very smart, artistic, and yes, morbidly obese, but on him it's so sexy.
02:02:11.840This hot, hot, hot woman has just hijacked my Instagram account once in a while and she'll just go on and she'll just gush about how hot and sexy I am.
