The StoneZONE with Roger Stone

00:00:00.000 The Stone Zone, with legendary Republican strategist and political icon and pundit, Roger Stone.

00:00:11.440 Stone has served as a senior campaign aide to three Republican presidents.

00:00:15.720 He is a New York Times bestselling author and a longtime friend and advisor of President Donald Trump.

00:00:21.340 As an outspoken libertarian, Stone has appeared on thousands of broadcasts, spoken at countless venues,

00:00:26.780 and lectured before the prestigious Oxford Political Union and the Cambridge Union Society.

00:00:32.380 Due to his four-plus decades in the political and cultural arena, Stone has become a pop culture icon.

00:00:37.720 And now, here's your host, Roger Stone.

00:00:44.640 Welcome, I'm Roger Stone, and that's right, you are back in the Stone Zone.

00:00:49.940 What a difference a day can make in politics.

00:00:52.740 President Joe Biden continues to hang on by a thumbnail.

00:00:58.000 The powers that be, both the money and the media powers in the Democrat Party, want him gone.

00:01:04.480 But Joe, propped up by his chief political advisor, Hunter Biden, and, of course, wife, Dr. Jill, want him to stay.

00:01:13.620 My guess is, in the end, that he does control the delegates pledged to him, having won about 95% of the 7,000 delegates.

00:01:23.420 If he is pushed aside, they'd have a hard time bypassing Kamala Harris.

00:01:29.260 But, of course, no Democrat wants that.

00:01:31.820 Here to talk about this and many other subjects, first of all, my co-host, Troy Smith, the editor-in-chief of Slingshot.News.

00:01:40.840 Troy, welcome back into the Zone.

00:01:43.620 Roger, it's an honor to be here.

00:01:45.280 You know, I felt like I fell into the twilight zone yesterday when I saw President Joe Biden bemoaning the Democrat establishment.

00:01:52.660 Just bizarre stuff.

00:01:53.560 Can't wait to break that down.

00:01:55.520 Yeah, I mean, it's really amazing.

00:01:56.740 The very people who were fully aware of his infirmity, who had been covering for him and pretending that we didn't see what our eyes told us, have now turned on him with an extraordinary vengeance.

00:02:09.240 It is, it is, I'm reminded of the great maxim by Napoleon, who said, never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of destroying themselves.

00:02:22.220 Napoleon was, of course, not French, but he was Italian.

00:02:25.800 Born in Corsica, he was a Corsican.

00:02:28.100 And, of course, Corsica was controlled by Italy at the time of Napoleon's birth.

00:02:33.700 In fact, Napoleon didn't speak French until much later in his teens or his early 20s.

00:02:40.320 Speaking of great Italians, let me bring in our guest.

00:02:44.940 Before I knew Pete Santilli, I knew of Pete Santilli, because as a tough investigative reporter, he was covering the outrageous governmental actions by the federal government at the Bundy Ranch.

00:03:00.900 And even though he was there covering it as a journalist, Pete Santilli was swept up in the dragnet of the feds who sought to destroy the Bundys because they insisted on paying their land rent payments to the county and the state instead of paying them to the feds based on their own beliefs.

00:03:20.140 This is one of the great scandals of all time, but Pete Santilli was locked up, along with the Bundy Ranch family and many of their supporters.

00:03:31.820 That's when I first heard of him.

00:03:34.060 I love Pete Santilli because when I was fighting for my life, he and his wife, Deb, who's a much better person than he is, were among my very, very strongest supporters.

00:03:48.060 So, let me say this about Pete Santilli.

00:03:51.520 First of all, he served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps.

00:03:54.320 He's tough as nails.

00:03:55.720 He's smart.

00:03:56.800 He runs down every lead.

00:03:58.620 The guy has more energy than anyone else in the business.

00:04:01.500 He is literally a broadcasting legend.

00:04:04.820 Let's bring him in now.

00:04:05.960 Pete Santilli, welcome.

00:04:07.560 It's great to have you on the Stone Zone.

00:04:11.260 Oh, it's an honor.

00:04:12.460 You used the term legend.

00:04:13.820 I would say broadcasting legend is something that maybe later on down the road we're fighting for our lives, Roger.

00:04:26.640 That's why I broadcast so much.

00:04:28.120 And ever since I was released in October of 2017, and I have to say this, if it weren't for your coverage of our story, we would have never gotten the public support on the outside of the courtroom.

00:04:41.880 It was so essential because, as you know, in those federal courtrooms, they don't allow cameras, and you brought light, and I'm a free man as a result.

00:04:49.560 But October 2017, when I got out, I just kept going to work.

00:04:54.860 We were fighting for our lives as defendants, but then that same group of people that came after us went after our country.

00:05:03.880 And October 2017, we haven't stopped, and Roger, being your advocate, that will always, always be the case because you have certainly served our nation for multiple decades.

00:05:18.280 And what I saw happening to you, not only should it not happen to any American, but there's a reason why they went after you is because you were friends with President Donald J. Trump, and it continues to this day.

00:05:30.380 But thank you for having me on.

00:05:31.920 It's an honor.

00:05:32.380 Pete, it's great to have you here.

00:05:35.420 One of the things that breaks my heart is I was unable to attend your wedding to Deb, who has a lovely voice, by the way.

00:05:42.280 I want her to go back into recording because she has an amazing voice.

00:05:47.700 I mean, I looked it up, listened to it online.

00:05:49.820 Just amazing.

00:05:50.760 You are, let's face it, we are both blessed.

00:05:53.480 You and I, we both married ourselves, and we are both blessed.

00:05:59.560 Amen to that.

00:06:00.240 You have a better handle on the deep state and what they're capable of.

00:06:06.560 I think this is something you and I share.

00:06:08.580 When you've seen it up front, when it's your life that's on the line, when it's you, they're trying to use their immense legal power to destroy.

00:06:16.700 It gives you a different vantage point.

00:06:19.340 It's fine to be an armchair warrior.

00:06:22.520 But you and I, well, we've really been in the fight, along with General Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos and Paul Manafort.

00:06:30.380 By the way, in Italian, Manafort means strong hand and others.

00:06:36.180 The question that I keep getting over and over again when I go out and speak or when I do these Q&A sessions on radio or for the show is, what will they pull in order to avoid having a free, fair, honest and transparent election?

00:06:53.060 What are they capable of?

00:06:55.060 This is something Alex Jones asks me every time I'm on his show.

00:06:59.000 And it's hard to even think about because some of the options that they're totally capable of, in my opinion, are so horrible that it's tough to contemplate them.

00:07:10.620 Yes, I'm talking about assassination.

00:07:13.100 I pray for the safety of President Trump and his family every single day.

00:07:18.160 My first book, a New York Times bestseller, The Man Who Killed Kennedy, The Case Against LBJ, makes the case that elements of the United States government were deeply involved in the assassination of an American president.

00:07:31.900 So if they did it once, what is to stop them from trying to do it again?

00:07:36.580 I guess that's my question.

00:07:37.560 You know, what's interesting before, remember, assassinations were pretty trendy in the 60s, right?

00:07:48.280 I mean, from JFK, Martin Luther King, those powerful influencers, they took them out.

00:07:53.700 We're now in, you know, what they now call fifth-generational styled warfare.

00:08:00.240 And I'm not going to over-sensationalize the following term.

00:08:04.860 I think the new trend is going to be assassinating the supporters of those influencers.

00:08:10.540 They have the power to do that.

00:08:12.000 I think we're in a very dangerous period of time right now, which makes it an even curious thought as to why they cling on to Biden.

00:08:22.580 Because that guy, as we know, with his involvement with the CIA overthrow of the Ukraine for a long period of time, he was directly involved with them.

00:08:33.320 Joe Biden has to be a CIA asset, at least, at the very least, a CCP asset.

00:08:41.360 Well, they had to get him to the show.

00:08:43.420 We know that in 2020, he was shoehorned into that seat.

00:08:48.000 81 million people didn't vote for him.

00:08:50.900 He tries to pretend like he's got popular support.

00:08:53.440 But probably has a little bit more so these days, because of the busloads of people they're sending to go see him to give the impression like he's got support.

00:09:03.260 But I believe that the intelligence services need this one last move coming in November of 2024.

00:09:10.840 Why? Because Joe Biden has to be in place in order for them to bring their last move, and that is a continuity of government establishment that essentially suspends our U.S. Constitution.

00:09:26.760 They've been planning for this since the late 80s, and I think they need Joe Biden in place.

00:09:32.300 Not even Kamala Harris or any of their other Democrat Party underlings.

00:09:39.100 I call it the short bus now, and Joe Biden is merely a passenger on that short bus.

00:09:45.160 And what they're trying to do is give him a mask so he doesn't lick the window as they cross the line towards what I think they're going to do here.

00:09:53.980 Hopefully, it's not before the election.

00:09:58.220 They have one final signature that they need from the President of the United States to declare a national emergency.

00:10:07.880 Once that happens, continuity of government is activated.

00:10:12.220 FEMA is in charge at that point here in the United States of America, and our U.S. Constitution is suspended.

00:10:18.100 And that's not conspiracy theory.

00:10:19.460 I happen to have some direct firsthand knowledge of what those plans are in place and what the power is in the hands of somebody like Joe Biden.

00:10:30.500 They're saying all they need is for him to be at least, you know, I think they'll even get his approval if he's comatose.

00:10:36.620 They're willing to accept that.

00:10:38.260 So we're in a very dangerous period right now, Roger, and I'm very, very concerned for Conjuring.

00:10:43.900 Obviously, you're referring to the Federal Continuity Directive, which I've actually read.

00:10:51.160 And I would remind you that Woodrow Wilson, who was elected president in 1912, had a debilitating stroke in 1919, was mentally and physically debilitated.

00:11:02.000 His wife, Edith Galt Wilson, was the de facto president of the United States, and she would put the pen in his lifeless hand and move it across the paper in order to sign official federal documents.

00:11:15.540 So I agree with you.

00:11:16.980 Even if Joe is comatose, even if he is completely non-lucid, they can get his signature on this document, which, as you point out, gives them sweeping controls over the American people.

00:11:30.680 If they are heading to an electoral loss, if they think that stealing the election is either too difficult or too transparent, will be too obvious, then this could certainly be among their bag of tricks.

00:11:45.620 Let me ask you this, because the same question Jones always asks me.

00:11:50.220 Another pandemic, Pete, do you think that's in—I hear a lot of talk about a bird flu.

00:11:55.720 This gives me pause.

00:11:57.420 Do you think that that's in their bag of tricks?

00:11:59.260 Yes.

00:12:00.680 I don't think it's going to be a pandemic.

00:12:03.520 I think it's going to be something very spectacular relating to—and you see all the signs—a terrorist event.

00:12:11.200 They have millions of people that have crossed the southern border.

00:12:15.200 And among them, we already know that they've arrested, tried, convicted terrorists, known terrorists.

00:12:21.160 There was a Chechnyan, that little-known event where he was arrested, tried, convicted for material support of terrorism.

00:12:29.560 These terrorists are in the country.

00:12:33.200 I believe that they've got enough people here in the country that if they were to activate those terror cells, it would be a widespread incident.

00:12:41.480 Now, I've spoken to Homeland Security officials that are truly concerned about the number of shipping containers that they've intercepted over the past five years,

00:12:52.000 chock full of AK-47 parts, distributed throughout the country, for the past five years.

00:13:00.680 They're concerned about the number of shipping containers that have gotten away.

00:13:04.640 So there's a lot of arms that have been shipped in.

00:13:07.240 They've got the individuals connected to terrorism that have, of course, used those other immigrants, illegal immigrants as human shields.

00:13:17.220 I believe, and if you listen to FBI Director Wray, as well as the chair of the House Permanent Select Committee,

00:13:26.380 they're warning us we're at the highest level of terror alert.

00:13:31.400 One event takes place in multiple cities.

00:13:33.720 They can declare a national emergency.

00:13:35.820 Now, once that happens, and, Roger, hopefully we have just a little bit of time for me to describe to you what I knew about developing that federal continuity directive

00:13:47.200 and what powers that FEMA will have in the event that the president signs off on a national emergency.

00:13:57.860 Instantaneously, everything is shut down.

00:13:59.640 Barack Obama's executive orders that he signed of the 900-plus, a lot of them had to do with seizure of all of our national infrastructure

00:14:09.340 from transportation, water, electricity, in the event of a national emergency.

00:14:16.560 So we are hearing from the FBI Director and the House Permanent Select Committee,

00:14:20.940 and they're telling us we're at the highest state of terror alert.

00:14:24.680 One event takes place, instantaneous suspension of our Constitution.

00:14:30.760 Now, there's a six-month period that not even Congress can intervene.

00:14:37.340 One signature, one event, and America would be amazed at what they've been planning for the past 40 years or so.

00:14:47.440 I love either being on with Pete Santilli or having him on my show because I learn something every time I'm with him.

00:14:54.680 This is amazing.

00:14:56.040 As you know, Colonel John Mills has been on the show, served at the highest level of the Defense Department in counterterrorism.

00:15:03.940 He says exactly what you are saying about the likelihood of a terrorist attack, perhaps a false flag terrorist attack.

00:15:12.500 Christy Hutcherson of Women Fighting for America, who's really a very brave woman, a courageous woman,

00:15:19.480 who's done great work at the border.

00:15:21.560 She's told us the exact same thing.

00:15:23.360 She's also detailed for us the weaponry being brought in the country.

00:15:26.900 It's not just the overwhelming number of military-age single men from China, from the Middle East, and from all over the world,

00:15:35.020 but it's also the sophisticated weapons that they're bringing into the country.

00:15:39.160 This is, if I had to guess, this is what I think the deep state does.

00:15:43.820 I'm beginning, you're persuading me.

00:15:45.940 Troy, do you have a question for the great Pete Santilli?

00:15:48.880 Absolutely, Pete.

00:15:50.800 As somebody who's been persecuted pretty much relentlessly throughout your career, and somebody who's really faced down the deep state and what they do in arresting people,

00:16:01.040 what are your thoughts on what's going to happen to Donald Trump at his sentencing, which has been delayed in September?

00:16:07.080 Do you think that Judge Juan Merchan is going to try to put him in prison?

00:16:10.020 I really don't, I don't think so.

00:16:13.600 I don't think that, I think that the Supreme Court wins those rulings, have essentially obliterated their ability.

00:16:23.160 It'll look too bad.

00:16:24.400 It'll cause too much public outrage.

00:16:26.880 I think they're going to take a path to least resistance, like bringing a major catastrophic event.

00:16:35.240 Remember, the feeling that we all had, it didn't matter what your politics were,

00:16:39.400 that entire week we were watching people jumping out of the World Trade Center towers.

00:16:43.600 I believe that they have the ability to create an event that'll be so shocking that they won't have to cause a stir inappropriately by incarcerating President Trump on the front doorstep of the election.

00:16:59.520 That would be a provocation that I think they could avoid by easily activating a lot of these terrorists they have in the country.

00:17:06.680 Now, this is what I'm being told.

00:17:08.100 I had a conversation recently when I was down in Texas with Homeland Security individuals that their greatest concerns is that some of those guns are being given to very young teenagers in the same style that they've been developing the cartels down south of the border.

00:17:28.740 From Fast and Furious onward, they know how to grab these kids, give them guns, and that's their biggest concern right now.

00:17:35.940 The number of guns that are here in the country, the number of illegal immigrants that will be the leaders of that younger generation of cartel assassins, I believe that there will be a multi-city event. 0.99

00:17:49.940 We're also hearing the same thing from our Homeland Security officials and investigative people like Christopher Wray, who knows how to plan such events.

00:18:03.340 So I don't think that they're going to take out President Trump.

00:18:06.920 I'm more concerned about their assassination of millions of Americans, potentially. 0.89

00:18:13.820 You know, Pete, I'm beginning to agree with you.

00:18:16.860 You would think that they would understand that after they submitted Donald Trump's humiliation of being charged in Georgia,

00:18:25.360 and they took and then released his mugshot, that brought in $141 million to his campaign, and he shot upward in the polls.

00:18:35.940 Then when they convicted him in a Soviet-style show trial in New York City, when the prosecutors could not even identify the underlying crime that would have made these financial transactions a felony, a criminal charge,

00:18:53.060 he took in another $40 million, and his popularity went up even higher.

00:18:59.560 So sooner or later, you would think that they would figure out that these over-the-top attacks on Trump only make him stronger, only galvanize his base, only move undecideds towards him,

00:19:12.580 because anyone with two eyes and a brain can see exactly what's happened.

00:19:17.800 So I've now come around to your view. 0.98

00:19:21.020 I actually thought, well, this judge is so evil, so corrupt. 0.64

00:19:26.160 And of course, he wants to go down as a liberal icon.

00:19:28.740 I mean, the judge who sent Donald Trump to jail, that puts you right up there with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you know, in the left-wing lexicon.

00:19:38.080 I would have thought, and they're probably dangling a federal judgeship in front of him, so I thought that that was likely what he would do.

00:19:46.900 That would be a gigantic political mistake.

00:19:49.360 Of course, now that they've delayed this until at least after the convention, or for the latter part of the year, I still think voters will see it as election interference.

00:19:59.760 I have the same low regard for lawyers that you do, Pete.

00:20:04.600 And I'm sick of telling me, oh, because it's a nonviolent offense, because he has no prior criminal record, surely the judge is going to stay his sentence, is going to leave him out on bail.

00:20:21.020 Well, I wouldn't bet on any of that.

00:20:23.980 There are different rules for Donald Trump, unfortunately.

00:20:27.760 He's not held to the same standard as everyone else, nor are his supporters.

00:20:32.200 So if you're Hillary Clinton or FBI Director James Comey or CIA Director John Brennan or Andrew McCabe or Hillary Clinton herself, you can lie to Congress about material matters that actually matter, make a difference, and you won't be charged.

00:20:50.020 But if you forget and you misstate a fact that covers no underlying crime, in other words, you tell a falsehood, not on purpose, but not in the furtherance of covering up any other crime, well, they'll charge you immediately to pressure you to bear false witness on, guess who?

00:21:10.640 Donald Trump.

00:21:11.660 Been there, done that.

00:21:13.600 Troy, you have another question for Pete.

00:21:16.920 Absolutely.

00:21:17.440 So as far as you kind of hinted towards it there, what kind of system would Americans see if you're talking about FEMA taking over the country?

00:21:26.160 What would that look like, Pete?

00:21:27.580 I mean, it just sounds like a total, I mean, just like a pretty much a martial law takeover.

00:21:33.120 And it is.

00:21:34.440 And just a brief history lesson on how the federal continuity of government came about.

00:21:40.940 Rex 84.

00:21:41.840 I don't know if you remember Ali North, Iran-Contra.

00:21:44.940 The top secret exercise called Rex 84 was designed that if something happened within the continental United States, they designed it so that how would we be able to round up potential dissidents, round them up, arrest them, American citizens or even foreigners?

00:22:08.680 That top secret program actually came out accidentally in congressional testimony.

00:22:17.820 Rex 84 in that exercise was developed to find out, well, how are we able to do that, use the military and law enforcement to be able to do that, and not just circumvent the U.S. Constitution.

00:22:29.460 We've got posse comitatus.

00:22:31.480 Well, they came up with that bureaucracy where FEMA would be concerned with a major catastrophic event where we would have to do that. 0.84

00:22:39.020 They built facilities.

00:22:40.780 And they didn't have the boundaries, constitutional boundaries, whether it be posse comitatus or, you know, they didn't even have arrest procedures.

00:22:48.680 But they could say, for continuity of government reasons, we need to be able to provide water, comfort, oh, all of a sudden the electric grid shuts down.

00:22:57.900 How do we get people from their neighborhoods into a safe, secure facility to give them three hots and a cot?

00:23:04.520 Well, now that morphed into the power that they gave to FEMA, and I mean absolute power, above the military.

00:23:14.360 Once the president signs the emergency declaration, continuity of government kicks in, FEMA's in charge.

00:23:22.480 You could lose the entire eastern seaboard.

00:23:25.240 There's a chain of command, a protocol.

00:23:27.620 The old days we used to say, take the three-ring binder off the shelf, and here's how we communicate.

00:23:32.600 Here's our chain of command.

00:23:34.160 Here's our authority.

00:23:35.080 They now have, and I don't know if you know this, people heard about FEMA regions.

00:23:40.360 There's 10 of them in the country.

00:23:42.320 They heard about FEMA camps, and there's a bunch of them.

00:23:45.440 Recently, you've been hearing about documentary films that have discovered this and are reporting on it.

00:23:50.300 There's actually a list of 70,000 facilities that are already prededicated to moving hundreds of thousands of people.

00:24:00.220 Now, here's the kicker.

00:24:01.560 In the Federal Continuity Directive, the ones that are identified for Roundup, believe it or not, those that are deemed to be national security threats, is the Attorney General of the United States.

00:24:16.640 He's already telegraphed who those potential dissidents are by declaring that anybody that is a MAGA extremist is a national security threat.

00:24:26.340 So, thereby, they would do the targeting.

00:24:29.900 They could literally round up, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has also provided a list of who those extremists are.

00:24:41.660 If you're anti-abortion, pro-life, if you're a constitutional conspiracy theorist, if you're a MAGA supporter, you will be identified as a national security threat, and you'll be taken very swiftly for national security reasons to a FEMA camp.

00:25:00.380 And this is documented.

00:25:02.380 It's not conspiracy theory.

00:25:04.180 I worked on a portion of the Federal Continuity Directive in the late 80s, and they said that the one trigger that would cause this to be instituted would be the decoupling of the trading of oil to the dollar because we had a national security vulnerability for Saudi Arabia.

00:25:23.240 That would be the trigger.

00:25:24.740 Well, guess what?

00:25:25.440 June 9th, we decoupled from the trading of oil to the dollar.

00:25:30.580 The petrodollar was put at risk, and thereby triggering that one event that the original Continuity of Government Directive was put in place to begin with.

00:25:41.300 Absolutely amazing.

00:25:43.160 All right.

00:25:43.660 I'm afraid we have to wrap it there.

00:25:45.700 It's been a great honor to have Pete St.

00:25:47.460 Tell people when and where they can see your amazing show.

00:25:51.280 Of course, PeteLive.tv, you can catch our live shows.

00:26:04.240 But, Roger, I hope I provided enough information to kind of heighten everyone's situational awareness.

00:26:13.420 We're in a very dangerous, dangerous period.

00:26:16.560 Everyone keep calm.

00:26:17.460 We've got 100 or so days, and don't get lured in by those provocateurs.

00:26:22.380 The Lord will guide us and protect us.

00:26:25.880 Pete, you persuaded me.

00:26:27.880 I think that you're absolutely right about the way the deep state is going to go.

00:26:32.000 I know how busy you are.

00:28:28.420 He's a global strategist.

00:28:30.180 But most importantly, he is a creative and a creativity educator.

00:28:36.000 He's going to join the Stone Zone here to talk about the education crisis in America,

00:28:41.780 what's happening in our public schools, what can be done about it.

00:28:46.980 So, Chad Stewart, I'm going to ask you now to enter the Stone Zone.

00:28:53.980 Glad to meet you, Roger.

00:28:57.300 Chad, I'm very grateful to you for joining us.

00:29:01.820 I also have a plumber at my front door because, well, I have a backed-up toilet I have to go deal with. 0.63

00:29:07.080 So, I'm going to turn the festivities over to Troy here for a bit, but hopefully we'll be rejoining you momentarily.

00:29:14.640 Troy, please move forward with our esteemed guest.

00:29:21.100 Of course.

00:29:21.960 Thank you, sir, for joining us here today.

00:29:23.740 You know, I'm so interested to have you come on the show today because we have so much to talk about as far as education.

00:29:28.960 I think there's some real opportunities that we can, you know, advance American education.

00:29:34.540 So, I'd like you to kind of just summarize real quickly, what's the state of education right now?

00:29:39.580 I mean, where are we and how can we move forward to make things better for our kids in this country?

00:29:46.060 Yeah, I think it's interesting.

00:29:47.160 I think a lot happened in 2020.

00:29:50.620 And just as a kind of a quick background, I'm the author of the Britfield series.

00:29:54.880 And so, this is sort of our impact on education and literature.

00:29:58.880 We're really trying to elevate the next level of literature.

00:30:01.320 So, we officially launched in August 2019, and I was on a national school tour.

00:30:06.880 I drove 9,000 miles.

00:30:08.180 I visited 23 states, presented over 200 schools to more than 40,000 to 50,000 students.

00:30:13.440 So, I say that in a sense to say, you know, boots on the ground.

00:30:16.920 I really got a good sense and feel of what was happening out in the landscape of education.

00:30:21.280 And we went to every type of school, private, public, Christian, Catholic, charter, homeschool,

00:30:26.940 all the way up from Seattle, all the way to Chicago, all the way down to New Orleans,

00:30:30.900 and all the way over to Memphis, Tennessee.

00:30:33.000 And then it was in March 2020 when we had this quote, unquote, pandemic.

00:30:38.160 And it was interesting, too, because I was finally in the heart of America,

00:30:41.280 and I was looking forward to really getting up to Chicago and then over to Ohio and East Coast

00:30:47.520 and down the South, when all the schools started to shut down.

00:30:51.580 And so, it was very interesting.

00:30:52.660 As I was driving back that lonely trip, you know, because it's like no longer did I have

00:30:56.980 any steps or stops.

00:30:58.320 It was just about getting back to San Diego because it was over.

00:31:01.220 You know, all the schools were shut down.

00:31:02.840 I was wondering how many children would return to the traditional school once this whole thing

00:31:08.260 was over.

00:31:08.800 And I'd start to ask some of my colleagues, and they'd sit there and say, you know,

00:31:12.100 what are you talking about?

00:31:12.840 And I said, I'm basing it on three things.

00:31:14.280 Number one, for the first time, parents will be horrified by what their children are learning

00:31:18.860 in school and being exposed to.

00:31:20.840 I mean, horrified, as young as five to six years old, and this is what you're being taught

00:31:24.740 in the classroom.

00:31:25.960 And, you know, most parents were oblivious to this.

00:31:28.720 Number two, how far behind their children are in certain subjects that they shouldn't

00:31:33.500 be.

00:31:33.720 And number three, if they sit down, concentrate on their work, they can have their entire

00:31:38.360 day finished within a couple of hours and then have the rest of the day to, I don't

00:31:42.240 know, at eight or nine years old, what, play, do something fun, creative, play a musical

00:31:46.040 instrument, do all the kinds of things that kids should be doing when they're outside these

00:31:50.880 40 hours a week institutions.

00:31:53.720 And so within six to 12 months of 2020, March 2020, I started seeing statistics and figures

00:32:00.220 coming out that 20 to 30 percent of kids weren't returning to traditional schools when the pandemic

00:32:06.300 is over.

00:32:06.820 And so what we're seeing right now is an educational reformation, much like Martin Luther 500 years

00:32:12.920 ago, we're in it.

00:32:14.420 And I know a lot of the things that you're covering and other alternative podcasts covers,

00:32:18.420 you know, this extreme situation over here, this extreme situation.

00:32:21.460 I'm telling you that the current educational system is crumbling and it is the beginning

00:32:27.920 of the end of traditional school system.

00:32:30.520 So we're in an educational reformation.

00:32:32.580 We're in a homeschool revolution.

00:32:34.780 We've seen homeschool go from 5 million to almost 20 million parents or students within

00:32:41.760 the last three to four years.

00:32:43.260 And so that is huge.

00:32:45.480 So that's, you know, you can't pull out 10, 20 percent of students from all these traditional

00:32:52.000 schools and not have the system crumble.

00:32:54.780 It's already been hanging on by a thread.

00:32:56.320 It's controlled by a lot of the liberal majority. 0.98

00:32:58.940 It's controlled by a lot of the unions, you know, peddling and pushing their garbage and 1.00

00:33:04.980 their crap. 1.00

00:33:05.580 And frankly, we've woken up. 1.00

00:33:07.700 The sleeping giant is awake.

00:33:09.640 And I think education is on the next level of success, not so much from the traditional

00:33:16.620 system, but from all types of hybrid models.

00:33:19.920 The homeschool movement just in California.

00:33:22.420 I live in San Diego, California.

00:33:23.240 We have over a thousand charter schools just in California.

00:33:26.460 That should tell you what we think about the traditional public system.

00:33:30.020 So you just have a massive reformation, a massive change and a massive revolution, you

00:33:34.900 know, in education.

00:33:35.760 So it's kind of a quick overview.

00:33:37.340 And some of the things we can talk about is sort of our impact, what we're doing with

00:33:40.780 the Britfield series and also the creativity crisis.

00:33:43.720 And our focus is to put creativity back in the classroom because creativity has been taken

00:33:47.780 out of the classroom.

00:33:48.680 When you take creativity out of the classroom, children are no longer thinking.

00:33:51.900 They're no longer being creative.

00:33:53.440 They're no longer being critical.

00:33:54.720 They're no longer communicating or collaborating.

00:33:56.820 They're just being told what to memorize on tests that mean nothing and measure nothing.

00:34:01.900 Well, and that's something I wanted to ask you about because I see your book posters

00:34:05.180 behind there.

00:34:05.960 And I, you know, as somebody who does basically news copywriting all day, it's super interesting

00:34:10.440 for me to see somebody who's or a group with Britfield that's put together these tremendous

00:34:15.760 works of fiction that I think are based in common sense.

00:34:20.320 And you made the point there.

00:34:22.240 You don't see a lot of creative works nowadays, especially those targeting children that are

00:34:27.180 based in common sense, do you?

00:34:29.320 No.

00:34:29.740 That's what's so great about the Britfield series.

00:34:31.920 And officially, book one was launched in August 2019, Britfield and the Lost Crown.

00:34:39.420 It's 384 pages.

00:34:40.800 What's great about this series is, number one, it takes place in present time, which is very

00:34:44.440 important.

00:34:44.800 So you have all this literature and it's post-apocalyptic, it's futuristic, it's fantasy.

00:34:51.360 And what that does is it does two things.

00:34:52.960 It disconnects kids from reality, number one, and number two, makes them feel less than

00:34:56.740 they are, right?

00:34:57.740 If I just had magical powers, if I just was Superman, if I had a super cape, if I had a

00:35:02.120 super ring, and it's just, it's disconnecting them in this weird, this world of fantasy.

00:35:06.580 And so the Britfield series is based on reality.

00:35:08.740 It's based in current time.

00:35:10.720 We don't bring in any of those devices like witchcraft, magic, demigod superheroes, heightened 0.80

00:35:16.780 mysticism.

00:35:17.640 They're accurate books.

00:35:19.120 Book one takes place in England, present day, starts up in Yorkshire, and then heads

00:35:22.740 to Oxford, Windsor, London, and down to Canterbury.

00:35:25.640 And as children are reading this, as adults are reading it, they're learning about geography,

00:35:30.360 art, architecture, history, and culture.

00:35:32.920 We're hitting the four Cs, which is creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking.

00:35:38.780 And we're incorporating our basic themes, which is family, friendship, loyalty, courage,

00:35:43.980 and hope.

00:35:44.640 And that is packed in every single book.

00:35:46.960 We like to call it stealth education.

00:35:48.460 So what we're really doing is we're re-educating the next generation of children.

00:35:52.480 From day one of the launch of the Britfield series, our beachhead was the elementary and

00:35:56.480 middle schools.

00:35:57.260 We're already in thousands of schools across the nation.

00:35:59.560 We're being taught in hundreds of schools across the nation.

00:36:02.540 We're global.

00:36:04.020 We just launched in Britain, of all things, three weeks ago.

00:36:07.060 So we're rolling out across Britain with the series, the trilogy.

00:36:10.320 So book two takes place in France.

00:36:12.020 Thomas Ayer now 13 years old.

00:36:13.520 Book three takes place in Italy.

00:36:17.000 And Thomas Ayer now 14 years old.

00:36:18.640 And then we're launching Britfield in the Eastern Empire this September, which starts in Vienna

00:36:23.680 and ends in Russia.

00:36:25.180 And so what's great about these books, too, is in every book, we're incorporating current

00:36:29.200 themes.

00:36:29.760 When book two came out in July 2021, people were reading it and said, what are you, prophetic?

00:36:34.040 And I said, no, I just do my research, much like your team does.

00:36:38.640 And we incorporate a lot of things that are happening.

00:36:40.800 Like in book three, we talk about quantum computers.

00:36:43.780 We talk about D-Wave computers.

00:36:45.240 We talk about social credit scoring.

00:36:47.360 We talk about how the social media was created to encapsulate everyone's information into

00:36:52.120 one database, sell it, and manipulate them.

00:36:54.660 And then in book four, we're talking about a one-world digital currency.

00:36:57.880 We're talking about the dangers of AI.

00:37:00.400 And we talk about Russia and some other things.

00:37:02.420 And so in these fast-paced, packed, fun, exciting stories, we're bringing in current events that

00:37:08.460 most media isn't even covering.

00:37:10.560 Well, and I'd throw in there, you know, we, as a kid, you know, it's not too long ago for

00:37:15.660 me.

00:37:16.020 And I remember being around that age, you were talking about middle school.

00:37:19.720 And if there are books around, you know, you end up picking these things up.

00:37:23.360 And just yesterday, I was writing an article about some things that had happened in the

00:37:28.540 music scene in the 1950s.

00:37:30.460 And I actually drew back to a book I had read as a child.

00:37:33.760 And it's amazing.

00:37:35.340 In your formative years, when you grasp information like that in these kind of books, it stays

00:37:39.920 with you for the rest of your life.

00:37:41.220 So my question would be, where can people get this book?

00:37:43.960 Because I think for everybody in our audience, you know, just giving this as a gift to a child

00:37:48.560 or, you know, your grandson, your niece, your nephew, it could, you know, really benefit

00:37:53.260 them down the line.

00:37:55.000 Yeah, you can go to Britfield.com.

00:37:57.680 That's our website.

00:37:58.800 It's an award-winning website.

00:37:59.980 We have over 400 pictures of England.

00:38:02.880 And so it's designed to complement the book.

00:38:04.680 So if you're teaching it, we actually have a study guide, 83-page study guide based on academic

00:38:08.700 standards.

00:38:09.280 That's why it's being taught in homeschool groups.

00:38:11.280 It's being taught in elementary schools, public, private, across the nation.

00:38:14.940 So the website's great because you'll get signed copies.

00:38:17.260 I won't be doing that much longer, or Amazon, or all the other sort of traditional things.

00:38:23.620 Really, what we've done for the last five years has been a soft launch for the Britfield

00:38:26.780 series.

00:38:27.600 We're now, as of July, so it's exciting being on your show, we're going global now.

00:38:31.540 So after five years of hard work, building the brand, getting the first three, launching

00:38:35.260 the fourth, we're going global now.

00:38:37.980 We do believe that we'll outsell Harry Potter in the next eight to 10 years.

00:38:42.020 And we're on that trajectory right now.

00:38:43.720 We're absolutely the opposite of Harry Potter.

00:38:45.460 We're Harry Potter's really pushing that sort of black magic and mysticism and occultism.

00:38:51.200 You know, we're pushing family values and friendship, loyalty, and courage.

00:38:54.720 And we're equipping the children or the readers with relevant facts, real places, getting them

00:38:59.940 excited about travel, that there's more things outside of California or the United States.

00:39:04.880 And we're just moving across the world right now.

00:39:07.380 We sold our first international rights.

00:39:09.620 It's been translated in Polish.

00:39:11.180 So we're in Poland.

00:39:11.840 And Poland's our beachhead for Eastern Europe. 0.81

00:39:13.480 We're about to sell the rights to South Korea, to Japan, and then 18 other countries.

00:39:18.740 And we're going to be starting a global tour, book tour and creativity tour for 18 months.

00:39:24.600 We're just about to go into pre-production of the first of seven major motion pictures for

00:39:29.080 the Britfield movies.

00:39:30.560 So we're excited.

00:39:31.700 Yeah, there's a lot happening.

00:39:32.520 So you actually, and I read that coming into this, that you actually have a movie coming

00:39:37.440 out.

00:39:38.360 What's that like for you as somebody who has been, you know, so involved in education?

00:39:43.280 Do you think that films are going to be an important part of the new education?

00:39:49.360 It is.

00:39:50.020 And it's really been hijacked for, let's say, 50 years.

00:39:52.560 And I don't like to call it Hollywood or give Hollywood any form of credit, because I think

00:39:57.440 we need to raise the watermark much higher than that.

00:40:00.920 And Hollywood, per se, has been dead for years.

00:40:03.760 I mean, look at the stuff they're putting out. 1.00

00:40:04.940 I mean, it's just garbage. 0.99

00:40:06.440 It's horrific. 1.00

00:40:07.180 It's terrible.

00:40:08.020 It's offensive.

00:40:09.020 It's so agenda-oriented.

00:40:11.000 They're bankrupt.

00:40:11.940 Disney's just on the verge of bankruptcy.

00:40:13.920 And they'll survive. 0.99

00:40:14.880 But they're down 40% because people aren't buying their crap. 1.00

00:40:17.680 They're not seeing their crap. 1.00

00:40:18.840 Nobody wants this crap. 1.00

00:40:20.060 And they keep trying to force it. 0.99

00:40:21.760 So it's a wonderful time to your listeners, those that are in the arts and entertainment,

00:40:25.420 those that are creative, to get back in the game, because you cannot produce enough good

00:40:29.840 quality content out there.

00:40:31.660 And it's time to sort of redefine the entire industry.

00:40:34.500 That's our focus.

00:40:35.300 Our focus is on four industries, education, literature, media, and movies.

00:40:39.580 We're working on two television programs based on the Britfield series.

00:40:42.980 We think that the first Britfield movie will actually be one of the highest grossing

00:40:46.360 films in cinematic history, setting a new standard and a new bar.

00:40:50.060 For family entertainment, you know, that's not compromised and doesn't have all this

00:40:53.720 other weirdness in it.

00:40:55.740 Well, and I would imagine, you know, and I'm interested to hear the reception of what

00:41:02.420 you're putting out there by, because I would assume that you've had run-ins with people

00:41:05.940 who are also in this industry who kind of look at you as maybe a threat.

00:41:09.700 Have you been perceived as a threat by people like that are pushing the witchcraft and pushing

00:41:15.380 this stuff on our children?

00:41:16.480 I mean, it seemed to me you'd be a pretty big threat to them.

00:41:18.400 Yeah, I don't know.

00:41:20.060 I'm sure I am on some levels, but at the end of the day, it's just like, I don't need

00:41:24.020 anyone's permission to make a movie.

00:41:25.720 I don't need anyone's permission to write a book.

00:41:27.520 None of us do.

00:41:28.440 And we don't need the industries.

00:41:29.880 Those industries are dead.

00:41:31.520 Publishing industry is still peddling eight-track players. 0.99

00:41:33.940 I mean, they're useless. 0.57

00:41:35.360 They're still stuck in the 70s. 0.99

00:41:36.720 And they're crumbling.

00:41:37.800 The publishing industry is crumbling.

00:41:39.360 You realize that 97 out of 100 books fail to make a profit.

00:41:43.000 And if your book sells more than 1,500 to 2,000 copies in a lifetime, they'd consider

00:41:49.080 it good.

00:41:49.900 That's the market.

00:41:51.160 You know, they just keep saturating it.

00:41:52.760 And they don't know anything about storytelling, good storytelling, what the industry wants.

00:41:57.800 And it's just, you know, it's riddled with stories of great books and novels that were

00:42:02.040 rejected by the quote-unquote industry experts.

00:42:05.320 So it's like we're redefining the industry, redefining the publishing industry.

00:42:08.400 We don't need the permission to publish Britfield as we're going global.

00:42:11.980 You know, we're about to lock in 20 countries.

00:42:13.660 We'll be eventually translated in 75 to 100 different languages across the nation.

00:42:18.560 What's great about the Britfield series is that it's a timeless classic.

00:42:22.100 And children embrace it.

00:42:23.700 Our youngest reader's seven.

00:42:24.640 Our oldest reader's 93.

00:42:25.900 55% of our reading audience are adults.

00:42:28.780 And I just had a really cool comment from a parent that read it, read book one, Britfield

00:42:33.260 Lost Crown, loved it.

00:42:34.120 And she said, she goes, it reminds me a lot like the James Bond series, but it has more

00:42:39.340 characters and there's much more of a purpose to it.

00:42:41.580 And I thought, what a great line, you know, because I'm like, as a writer, he wasn't influenced

00:42:46.240 by James Bond.

00:42:47.360 You know, for me, it was Roger Moore and then Pierce Brosnan and then eventually Daniel Craig.

00:42:51.480 And I love the Bourne identity, you know, and that whole series was phenomenal.

00:42:55.080 So I grew up on all of that and I love that.

00:42:56.920 And I think that's what's in my books.

00:42:58.940 It's that fast-paced, fun action adventure.

00:43:01.480 It's really an adult writing adult books for children, you know, because half of our audience

00:43:06.180 are adults and they love it.

00:43:07.220 You know, we get feedback from Germany, from England, from Australia.

00:43:10.080 We just shipped off more books to a bookstore in Australia and in New Zealand, across the

00:43:15.200 world.

00:43:15.520 It's incredible.

00:43:16.120 Japan, Italy, Brazil.

00:43:18.760 So it's exciting.

00:43:19.900 And we're really hitting our target and making a huge impact.

00:43:23.500 And I say all this just to encourage others to write great stories.

00:43:27.120 And it takes time.

00:43:27.840 And book one took me, I mean, from my concept, you know, I grew up in Newport Beach, California.

00:43:33.640 I was back east in Wellesley, Massachusetts, did my undergraduate in British literature,

00:43:37.580 European literature.

00:43:40.720 And then eventually it was an investment banker.

00:43:43.700 And it was 12 years ago that I was just dying to get back into doing something creative.

00:43:46.940 And I had the idea for Britfield and Lost Crown at this boring insurance seminar.

00:43:51.580 So I sat down, it took me four years and 2,500 hours just to write book one, you know, a lot

00:43:56.720 of time.

00:43:57.580 And it took from concept to launching, it took 10 years.

00:44:00.460 So there is no overnight success.

00:44:02.500 And the stuff that you're seeing sort of on the media or the Facebook or television with

00:44:07.540 this like huge success, it's like, that's all fake.

00:44:10.480 It's all false.

00:44:11.560 Anything of value takes time.

00:44:13.260 You know, the difference between a hobby and a profession is about 10,000 hours.

00:44:16.880 That's very accurate.

00:44:18.140 That's about 1,000 dedicated core hours every year of focusing on your craft, whether it's

00:44:24.040 a sport, whether it's a talent, whatever it is.

00:44:26.500 It takes time.

00:44:27.880 And we're in this flashover substance, rush, rush, rush.

00:44:30.900 Society, don't do that.

00:44:32.280 You know, don't compromise your quality.

00:44:34.140 You don't have to compromise.

00:44:35.220 You don't have to give in.

00:44:36.120 It will take longer, but it's worth it.

00:44:38.280 And again, anything of value takes time.

00:44:40.380 Every overnight success is between one to two decades.

00:44:43.120 That's the truth.

00:44:43.840 You know, I've done deep dive research into businesses and empires that have been built

00:44:48.340 in the industry.

00:44:49.480 And it's just like, I mean, years and years of hard work, near bankruptcy, you name it,

00:44:54.380 everyone's gone through it.

00:44:55.780 But I say all this to encourage your listeners, you know, now's the time to step up.

00:44:59.780 We're in a creativity crisis, not just nationally, but globally.

00:45:02.940 Creativity scores in 10 specific areas have been down for over 30 years.

00:45:06.960 This is designed by the educational system to crush creativity and take thinking out of kids.

00:45:12.100 It's we're trying to put creativity back in it.

00:45:14.360 And that's why it's so important at that age.

00:45:15.940 Like you said, when you read that book, that 10, 11, 12 years old, it's so critical to capture

00:45:20.600 them at that moment and plant those seeds of something good and solid.

00:45:25.600 Exactly.

00:45:26.240 And, you know, when I was in third grade, I had a teacher, a lovely woman, Ms. Jacobs,

00:45:30.880 and she saw that I had been picking up on some history stuff because my dad was always big

00:45:37.220 into history.

00:45:37.680 And she gave me a book that was way over my head.

00:45:40.060 And I actually reread it in high school called Night by Elie Wiesel.

00:45:43.940 And I read about that.

00:45:45.680 And it's the story of a family that goes through the Holocaust.

00:45:48.920 And it's still to this day that I draw back on that book.

00:45:53.060 And that's why I think it's so important for everybody out there.

00:45:55.200 You know, why, you know, you can have parental controls on an iPod, you can have, you know,

00:46:01.660 whatever.

00:46:02.060 But at the end of the day, if the content that's being pushed on those things, even in

00:46:06.260 the bounds of the kids, you know, network or whatever is, is satanic, it talks about

00:46:11.180 witchcraft and things like that.

00:46:13.200 Why endanger your kids?

00:46:14.800 You know, you wouldn't let your kids dabble in drugs. 1.00

00:46:17.400 Why would you let them dabble in destructive ideology?

00:46:20.240 And I think it's, you know, the idea that we have people out there that aren't watching

00:46:25.160 this stuff like a hawk.

00:46:26.720 I think it's sad.

00:46:28.800 And if we're going to get control of our country again, and we're going to have a situation

00:46:33.640 where we succeed and we have people that are independent and prosperous, we have to

00:46:38.240 break free of this thing.

00:46:40.480 And this is why I love what you're talking about here.

00:46:43.780 You're not saying that we need to get away.

00:46:46.160 You know, you are actually bringing with you the creative side, because while the people

00:46:51.440 in the schools pretend like, oh, they're the artistic people, they're the creative

00:46:54.860 people, that's really not the case.

00:46:57.240 And I would bet you in your research, when you found people that succeeded in this industry

00:47:02.020 and they've done it honestly and with integrity, they've done so.

00:47:06.440 They've done so really in spite of the system, which claims to be so in support of the arts.

00:47:12.660 Very true.

00:47:15.940 Very true.

00:47:16.620 Yeah.

00:47:16.860 And there's very few real stories of what you have out there right now as these empire

00:47:22.100 builders are just actors.

00:47:23.520 You know what I mean?

00:47:23.940 And I won't name names, but we know who they are.

00:47:26.160 And oh, my God, they're billionaires.

00:47:27.740 No, they're not.

00:47:28.740 You know, they're just actors, you know, that have, you know, and all this information

00:47:33.100 or all these companies that are dominating everything.

00:47:35.740 It's just been through illegal money laundering and billions of dollars that have bought out

00:47:40.860 everyone else's talent and skills and stuff.

00:47:43.440 But those that have made it, that are solid and real, they've gone through the trenches.

00:47:47.860 They believed in their craft and their art.

00:47:50.500 They did not compromise.

00:47:52.120 You don't need to compromise.

00:47:53.240 You don't need to compromise in films and media.

00:47:55.460 You don't need to compromise in literature.

00:47:57.200 You just need to find the right people.

00:47:58.660 You need to find your beachhead, your audience, you know, who's going to read it, who's going

00:48:01.800 to help you, there are so many extraordinarily talented people out there, especially in the

00:48:06.960 film industry, that are looking for great projects to cut their teeth on, you know, and

00:48:11.900 it's time.

00:48:12.660 I mean, we're already seeing that with the independents.

00:48:14.580 I mean, there's really a major gap.

00:48:16.460 There are no really middle type of movies anymore.

00:48:20.140 You know, you have that $20, $30 million movie that was great.

00:48:22.680 It's kind of a sleeper hit.

00:48:24.780 The Blind Side comes to mind, you know, $30 million budget and does over $300 million at

00:48:30.580 the box office.

00:48:31.340 And so what does the studio do after that?

00:48:33.040 Do they do more movies like that?

00:48:34.280 Of course not. 0.98

00:48:34.840 They go into slasher films and other crap. 0.89

00:48:37.300 The thing is, is there's just a huge, huge market. 0.74

00:48:40.040 I would say there's a 90% market for family focused, family friendly entertainment that

00:48:45.320 you cannot feel fast enough.

00:48:47.080 And it's out there.

00:48:47.820 We're not a divided nation. 1.00

00:48:48.980 People are sick and tired of this crap. 0.99

00:48:51.040 Everything else with the statistics, you know, flashover substance, fake statistics, fake 0.99

00:48:55.660 numbers.

00:48:56.160 Don't believe it.

00:48:56.840 Don't buy into it.

00:48:57.840 Do your own research.

00:48:58.860 Well, and I found it, by the way, I, as a child, you know, I went to the movie theater

00:49:05.540 quite a bit.

00:49:06.480 And I remember, I remember, first of all, I remember, I remember seeing other countries

00:49:10.900 and they would have movies that were like, whatever series seven or eight.

00:49:16.020 And you'd be like, oh, well, that's, I don't really see that in the United States.

00:49:19.300 And now I swear, I go to the movies and it's like this four, this five, this six, and they're

00:49:24.400 just beating the same dead horse over and over again.

00:49:27.780 I mean, what do you think, do you think that this is just the, the censorship and the self-destructive

00:49:35.600 nature of these people kind of coming to fruition?

00:49:40.380 Yeah, they control the market, you know, 90, you know, the statistics with 90, 96% of the

00:49:45.520 entire media market is controlled by six corporations.

00:49:48.460 It could be five by now.

00:49:50.520 And that's everything.

00:49:51.500 That's, I mean, that's everything from your newspaper to your magazines, to your social

00:49:55.380 media, to films, to television.

00:49:58.300 So it's tough, you know, it's a huge market and it's, and none of it was earned.

00:50:01.740 These guys didn't work hard.

00:50:03.000 They, they stole the money.

00:50:04.080 They had government back, back-end deals, you know, they print fake money.

00:50:07.820 So it's just like, you know, when a company goes back, I mean, Hollywood's bankrupt.

00:50:11.520 And so what do they do?

00:50:12.280 They merge two companies and they write off everything else and stuff.

00:50:15.140 And so they shift and they move, but I do believe it is the beginning of the end.

00:50:18.820 And there's a huge market for great stuff out there.

00:50:22.040 And, but yeah, they've controlled it, but it's just like, you don't bounce back from

00:50:25.680 it.

00:50:25.820 It's like, look at these bombs that are coming out from Hollywood.

00:50:28.360 I mean, they're just brutal.

00:50:30.360 I will say that, you know, like the picks, the recent Pixar, which is again, family focused,

00:50:34.440 I haven't seen it and stuff, but it does have that family sort of focus to it.

00:50:37.740 200 million dollar budget.

00:50:38.860 It's on its way to do 2.1.2 billion dollars to date.

00:50:43.580 And it's been out for four months.

00:50:44.940 Meanwhile, you get all this other crap that's coming out and it's just like, it's not doing 0.62

00:50:48.180 anything and it's not going anywhere. 0.78

00:50:49.400 So, but I will say this, I think it's interesting that your teacher gave you in third grade,

00:50:54.720 gave you this wonderful book to, to do what to read up to, you know what I mean?

00:50:59.300 And so you were kind of blown away by it and it was like really hard reading, but I love

00:51:03.660 that.

00:51:03.900 And I think that's what we do with Britfield.

00:51:05.500 We don't, we don't talk down to our, to our age group.

00:51:08.960 We pull them up to this level and we expect them to be able to read at that level and to

00:51:13.280 think for themselves and stuff.

00:51:14.640 It's like, you know, usually whatever you put into someone is what you get out of it.

00:51:17.640 And we treat, we treat children because they're talented.

00:51:20.420 All kids are born creative.

00:51:21.500 All kids are born with amazing talents.

00:51:24.800 School is not any kind of defining moment.

00:51:26.440 It should be eliciting these talents and making them better instead of, instead of sort of

00:51:30.000 shadowing them and putting them into these little boxes, you know, because they're not

00:51:33.540 good at mathematics. 0.98

00:51:34.380 Who gives a crap? 0.98

00:51:35.560 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:51:35.980 It's just like, I, I was, I was, I was in architecture and banking and I didn't need

00:51:40.080 anything more than basic math, but by all means, let's keep teaching math, you know, semester

00:51:44.480 after semester, you know, year after year for what to do what with, you know, create them, you

00:51:48.880 know, get them into music classes, get them into writing classes, get them into speech

00:51:52.060 classes.

00:51:52.880 Some of the stuff we do at the Ritfield Institute, and we're focused mostly on title one schools

00:51:57.320 is to bring back creativity to the classroom.

00:52:00.300 But we're offering entrepreneurship workshops for 12, 13, 14 year olds, you know, where they

00:52:05.400 can work as a team together, you know, get, get all these kids together, maybe four or

00:52:09.020 five of them break up into your own little company and build a company, you know, and put

00:52:12.980 together a business plan and then, and then do it at 12 years old.

00:52:16.000 You're done.

00:52:16.380 They love it.

00:52:16.780 I bet.

00:52:17.560 Yeah.

00:52:17.760 And kids just, I mean, kids are brilliant at that age, you know what I mean?

00:52:20.540 I do, I do these little writing workshops or having the past where we write a movie script,

00:52:24.440 you know, I've got an hour with them and, and I divide them into groups of four to five

00:52:27.860 little creative groups.

00:52:28.980 And we all come up with like an idea, you know, and I sit there and say, you know, we've

00:52:31.560 got this $50 million budget from the studio.

00:52:33.820 We got to write a film.

00:52:35.120 And so, you know, come up with something.

00:52:37.620 Is this going to be a drama or romantic comedy?

00:52:39.400 And they all have like 15 minutes to kind of work on it.

00:52:41.820 Then I go around and I work each group and then they come up with some ideas and then we

00:52:45.560 vote on the best idea.

00:52:46.500 And then, and then just based on the three act structure, I'm sitting there working the

00:52:49.440 whole classroom, you know, 30, 40 people and we're writing a movie.

00:52:53.480 And I'm telling you something in that one hour, those kids are going to learn more than that

00:52:57.360 one hour than they will from the entire semester, because we're hitting all four C's.

00:53:00.940 They're being creative.

00:53:01.940 They're critical.

00:53:02.680 They're thinking critically.

00:53:03.880 They're communicating and they're collaborating.

00:53:05.740 And, and there are no bad answers.

00:53:07.360 And it's like, oh, it's a great answer.

00:53:08.520 And it's like, what about this?

00:53:09.200 And what, what time of year is this take place?

00:53:11.180 And so, so our, our main protagonist, you know, like who is he or who is she?

00:53:15.080 And, and what are the weaknesses?

00:53:16.580 What are their strengths?

00:53:17.240 What's the secret they're keeping?

00:53:18.260 And I'm getting these kids to think, you know, critically and creatively.

00:53:22.140 And it's doing these kinds of exercises.

00:53:24.600 You know what I mean?

00:53:24.980 It's not reinventing the entire wheel.

00:53:27.160 Although I think the public system is dead, but you're already seeing, you're already

00:53:31.720 seeing new systems.

00:53:32.680 I mean, like the whole homeschool movement is extraordinary.

00:53:35.880 And a lot of parents out there think, you know, I can't stay home.

00:53:39.340 You know, we both got to work because of the economy.

00:53:42.100 You know what I mean?

00:53:42.540 It's like, we're barely getting by every week.

00:53:44.820 And it's like the homeschool models now is that you don't necessarily have to stay home.

00:53:48.980 You know, you can drop your child off at a homeschool group, you know, with other parents

00:53:53.140 or a charter system.

00:53:54.300 That's a hybrid model, the homeschool model.

00:53:56.280 There are so many different things you can do, or, you know, you could work four days

00:54:00.860 a week, take one day off and do this with four other parents.

00:54:04.260 And then you teach, you know, four or five kids, you know, art.

00:54:07.380 And then, you know, another one teaches this.

00:54:09.160 And then the one teaches science throughout the year.

00:54:11.340 And you're actually getting this wonderful interaction with your kids.

00:54:15.700 The best educated children I've ever met in my life are homeschooled.

00:54:20.240 And so when I see or come into a room or classroom or wherever it is, and I'm meeting homeschool

00:54:24.240 kids, I'm like, okay, cool.

00:54:25.720 We're going to have some good conversations.

00:54:27.560 These kids are going to be well-read, articulate.

00:54:30.120 They're going to listen.

00:54:31.360 They're not nervous and weird and antsy.

00:54:33.840 They're very genuine.

00:54:35.540 And that is really what's happening with the homeschool movement.

00:54:37.640 It's huge.

00:54:38.460 And it will change education because it's focused on the next generation of kids.

00:54:43.500 And it's equipping them with what they need to be, what they need to do.

00:54:47.220 I mean, 14, 15-year-old kids sometimes are already taking college prep courses.

00:54:51.020 So this whole idea of educational inflation, that you don't graduate until you're 22 with

00:54:56.040 a $300,000 debt for a worthless certificate that doesn't do anything, and an education system

00:55:03.280 that hasn't taught you anything.

00:55:04.500 And then you've got to get your master's degree for another two years.

00:55:06.520 Now you're 24.

00:55:07.600 You know, it just goes on and on and on.

00:55:09.020 It's educational inflation.

00:55:10.180 And it's crumbling in front of our eyes.

00:55:12.120 It's not working.

00:55:12.960 And the system is dead.

00:55:14.860 Well, and Mr. Stewart, I thank you so much.
