Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Major Trump Endorsements, Plus Ian Prior On Restoring Sanity To Our Schools | TRIGGERED Ep. 26

00:00:00.000 Thank you.

00:00:07.000 Hey guys, what's going on?

00:00:32.000 Welcome to another episode of Triggered.

00:00:35.000 It's Thursday, April 20th, also known as 420 for you stoners.

00:00:39.000 And thanks for joining.

00:00:41.000 I really appreciate you guys.

00:00:42.000 Just in a few moments, we're going to sit down with former Trump DOJ official and the executive director of Fight for Schools, Ian Pryor.

00:00:51.000 This is a huge one for me.

00:00:53.000 As a parent of five young children, Ian's literally one of the most important America First voices in education, has been at the epicenter of standing up against left-wing indoctrination at our schools.

00:01:07.000 Whether that's the insanity that they're jamming down their throats with the woke ESG, DEI, you know, BLM nonsense or the overall lack of basic education, stuff like math and reading, you know, all that stuff that they're too focused on, the woke stuff where you can't do that, but to the other stuff that's actually much more serious, the cover-ups. 0.52

00:01:31.000 of some of the sexual assaults that have happened because we're allowing biological men to share locker rooms with women or allowing biological men to compete against women's sports.

00:01:43.000 Ian's one of the guys that's on the forefront of the fight against that nonsense.

00:01:49.000 He lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, the bluest of the blue, where a lot of this insanity comes from, and you don't just have to sit back and take it, right?

00:01:59.000 Being the leader of the charge may not be for everyone, but you can learn what you can do, where you can see the hidden agenda that's just been so subversive, where they're putting it in these school boards, how you can help other people run for those same boards.

00:02:14.000 So that we can save our children, whether it's their minds or their innocence, from the craziness of the radical left today.

00:02:23.000 So this is going to be an important one for anyone that is a parent, for anyone that plans on having children, for anyone that wants to preserve everything That the next generation is going to bring our country because that stuff, guys, is on the table.

00:02:39.000 It is at risk and they're doing whatever they can to destroy it.

00:02:45.000 But before we do that, I want to give you a rundown of some of the top headlines of the week.

00:02:50.000 Donald Trump is getting endorsement after endorsement.

00:02:55.000 This week, so many people from Florida itself came out.

00:02:59.000 Fighters. Like, today, Michael Waltz announced his endorsement of Donald Trump.

00:03:06.000 Earlier this week, Congressman Greg Stubbe and John Rutherford and Brian Amast also made it clear that they're all in for Donald Trump in 2024, that Trump is the only guy to be able to do it.

00:03:19.000 And that's, guys, in addition to the America First fighters from Florida who've already endorsed Donald Trump, like Matt Gaetz.

00:03:28.000 Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donald, and Corey Mills.

00:03:32.000 So that's going well, and we want it to go well because we need to do this soon.

00:03:36.000 What we don't want is infighting that's going to go on for months and years, depleting all the resources, right?

00:03:44.000 You know who I'm talking about, and you know the billionaire donors that are going to be supporting them.

00:03:48.000 We need to make sure we have that money to take on the radical Biden administration.

00:03:55.000 We need to be able to take on their... 0.90

00:03:58.000 Dozens of billionaire donors, the Soroses of the world, who are going to keep their ballot harvesting operation. 1.00

00:04:05.000 We need to make sure we're playing that game.

00:04:08.000 So these members of Congress get it.

00:04:10.000 They know what we know, that Donald Trump's the only America First candidate, and he's fully committed to standing up for the forgotten men and women of this country.

00:04:20.000 He's not the swamp.

00:04:23.000 He's not controlled by the opposition that's taking advice from people like Paul Ryan and Karl Rove and the lunatics out there.

00:04:32.000 He's the guy that can fight.

00:04:34.000 And get this. Congressman Lance Gooden, who, by the way, you should check out his Twitter feed because it's one of the more lit congressional Twitter accounts out there from Texas, also announced his Trump endorsement right after he had a meeting with Ron DeSantis.

00:04:50.000 He literally said I quote I met with Governor DeSantis and while he's done commendable work in Florida there's no doubt in my mind that President Trump is the only leader who can save America from the leftist onslaught we're currently facing.

00:05:05.000 It seems like the only people who are really behind DeSantis at this point are the ones who haven't been around him all that much, because these lawmakers know that Donald Trump is the only one who can actually fix the mess, who isn't beholden to the people who have created these messes.

00:05:20.000 And sadly, the economic warning signs, guys, are only getting worse.

00:05:26.000 Think about this. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans now have a negative view of the economy in a new poll.

00:05:33.000 A whopping 69% of Americans view the economy negatively, according to a poll from CNBC. That's the highest level...

00:05:43.000 It's ever been in the poll's 17-year history, right?

00:05:48.000 So that's including the disaster of 08?

00:05:51.000 Like, it's worse than that?

00:05:53.000 And by the way, if you look at the stats, it probably is.

00:05:56.000 Two-thirds of those surveyed said their wages are falling behind the level of inflation.

00:06:01.000 Now, our media...

00:06:04.000 Big tech, no one's really talking about it.

00:06:06.000 You can't, because they're the marketing arm of the Biden administration who has nothing going for it.

00:06:12.000 So they'll just, they just won't talk about it.

00:06:15.000 And that's not all, because probably not exactly the most conservative guy in the world, but CEO of Bank of America, Brian Moynihan, said this week that everything, everything points to a recession this year.

00:06:32.000 Remember, guys, we have inflation out the wazoo.

00:06:35.000 We have reckless spending.

00:06:38.000 See Ukraine. We have interest rate hikes, growing fears around the housing market, layoffs at major companies like Amazon, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, and more.

00:06:48.000 It's a brutal economic storm.

00:06:52.000 And it's not stopping there, right?

00:06:55.000 Banks aren't lending to car dealerships anymore.

00:06:58.000 There's a credit crunch.

00:07:00.000 People are pulling their money out of banks, and when they're doing that, that stops the banks from being able to leverage that money in the economy.

00:07:06.000 Either way, that's scary, and it spells a disaster.

00:07:10.000 And by the way, guys, it's tax week.

00:07:12.000 So I hope that you all paid your taxes so we can keep supporting and creating the next billionaire oligarch class in the Ukraine.

00:07:23.000 Vladimir Zelensky is depending on your money, folks.

00:07:26.000 So make sure we get it because we need to protect their borders.

00:07:30.000 We can't protect our own.

00:07:32.000 Why would we do that?

00:07:34.000 We can let drugs and fentanyl and human traffickers and sex traffickers come across our borders with reckless abandon.

00:07:40.000 We can't finish that wall for three billion dollars, but we're in for 130 and the first Patriot missiles just got there this week.

00:07:48.000 So you know there's a lot more than the 130 billion going to Ukraine.

00:07:51.000 So make sure guys, as everything gets tighter, As it costs you more at the pump and in the grocery stores, and as your mortgages reset and you can't get new financing because the banks have restricted, remember that your hard-earned dollars are going to help Ukraine.

00:08:12.000 Remember when Biden said he's going to be paying and making sure that we take care of their pensions.

00:08:17.000 Your pensions? Screw you! 0.96

00:08:19.000 You're Americans! It's your money! 1.00

00:08:21.000 We can use it for whatever we want, but it's not going to be for you, folks.

00:08:25.000 You think it's getting worse?

00:08:26.000 Guess what? Ford announced this week that its new Lincoln Nautilus will be imported from China.

00:08:34.000 From China. Ford Motor Company now is importing cars from China.

00:08:38.000 Making it the first time Lincoln will import a vehicle from China.

00:08:42.000 Currently they're making it in Canada. 0.92

00:08:44.000 I mean, they're lunatics these days as well, certainly politically.

00:08:48.000 And yet, now they're turning to an American adversary to make our vehicles. 0.77

00:08:56.000 What could go wrong?

00:08:57.000 Now, ideally they'd be making the vehicle in America, and China is pretty much the worst possible option as an alternative. 0.99

00:09:05.000 But again, guys, all the warning signs are starting to point us in the right direction

00:09:13.000 of disaster.

00:09:15.000 It's why I talk so much about wanting you prepared.

00:09:17.000 It's why I'm psyched that companies like Gold Co. are advertising with a show like this because

00:09:22.000 the importance of diversifying cannot be underscored enough right now.

00:09:28.000 Again, look at the signs.

00:09:30.000 Check out my Twitter feed or Truth Feed where I'll talk about the economists that are talking

00:09:34.000 about how bad it is.

00:09:35.000 I want you guys that actually have the guts to actually call out what's going on.

00:09:39.000 Because remember, you know, the banks, the other reason you better pay your taxes this

00:09:43.000 week, you know, the banks are going to cover their gambling debts with your hard earned

00:09:50.000 You know they're going to get the bailout.

00:09:51.000 Now, you, you're on your own again.

00:09:53.000 There's a consistent theme here, folks.

00:09:55.000 But that's why you want to make sure you're diversified. 0.95

00:09:58.000 You're not going to play around with the lunatics that are in charge.

00:10:01.000 You're not going to let that volatility and the runs on the banks and the banks that have collapsed in the last month.

00:10:06.000 So, you know, go check out DonJrGold.com just to learn a little bit more about it.

00:10:11.000 I'll put the link down in the bottom of the show that you can go check it out for yourself.

00:10:16.000 But just learn. At least that way, you've seen both sides of the story.

00:10:20.000 You can check it out for yourself, make your own decisions.

00:10:22.000 But man, it feels like we're in a scary place.

00:10:25.000 And the Biden White House has no clue how to manage it.

00:10:30.000 The economy is going to hell, and they have no idea what they're doing.

00:10:33.000 And anyone who's been watching for the last few years knows that.

00:10:36.000 Frankly, a lot of the establishment Republicans don't either.

00:10:40.000 It was under Donald Trump that we saw strong wage growth, real wage growth, for like the first time perhaps in our lifetimes.

00:10:48.000 You had energy independence, they blew that, for like, Their cult of environmental whatever.

00:10:56.000 Meanwhile then, we're getting much dirtier oil from Venezuela.

00:11:01.000 And Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror. 0.77

00:11:05.000 Minor details, folks. But screw our energy independence. 0.56

00:11:08.000 Middle class tax relief.

00:11:10.000 We had that under Trump.

00:11:11.000 And low inflation. All gone.

00:11:14.000 America First, folks, is the only way out of this disaster.

00:11:19.000 But rather than be honest about any of it, the unhinged left-wing media doubles down on their smear tactics.

00:11:27.000 For example, on The View, guest host and actress Patti LuPone compared the Christian right to the Taliban.

00:11:40.000 To the Taliban, folks! 0.71

00:11:42.000 Watch for yourselves. But I have said this before and it's been in print.

00:11:46.000 I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is.

00:11:50.000 I have no idea what the difference is.

00:11:52.000 You're not the only person who's said that.

00:11:54.000 I just don't know what the difference is.

00:11:57.000 What's happening in this country right now in the name of religion is so dangerous.

00:12:02.000 And it's not this country.

00:12:03.000 It's not America as far as... 0.75

00:12:05.000 And you know, when I was growing up, I didn't know America was an experiment.

00:12:09.000 They never said America was an experiment.

00:12:11.000 When we were growing up, it was a democracy.

00:12:16.000 And now it's in, you know, such danger.

00:12:21.000 It's so upsetting. It's so upsetting.

00:12:23.000 And it's upsetting to hear the loudest voices and not any kind of pushback to the loudest voices that are the extremity in this country.

00:12:32.000 Well, that's why we need people like you.

00:12:34.000 I'm on the other side!

00:12:38.000 That's why we need people like you.

00:12:40.000 Let's face it, folks. I don't know that anyone has really gone to The View for, like, an intelligent take in probably the entire existence of the show.

00:12:49.000 If you want to actually watch something fun, go back and search when Kimberly and I went on The View, when I did my Triggered book tour.

00:12:56.000 It was sort of epic. It was their 5000th episode.

00:12:59.000 They had me on there to talk about my book, and of course they didn't ask me any questions about my book, but... 0.99

00:13:03.000 I came prepared, and the idiots at The View were not quite ready for it. 0.97

00:13:09.000 So if you want some entertaining stuff to watch over the weekend, go check that out. 0.99

00:13:13.000 But seriously, in America, in 2023, comparing Christians, like generally Christians, like probably what, 60% of the country?

00:13:23.000 Who were, by the way, just gunned down by the trans radical lunatic in Nashville last weekend, right?

00:13:33.000 Notice, they're not going to say anything about what's going on in America with that radical agenda. 0.88

00:13:38.000 They won't even call them the terrorists that they are.

00:13:41.000 They won't call them the most privileged class in the country.

00:13:45.000 Because if you're trans, you can just do whatever you want.

00:13:48.000 There's a different set of rules for everyone else.

00:13:51.000 If you're trans, what difference does it make?

00:13:53.000 Oh, you have total privilege, total authority to do whatever you want, and no one can say anything. 0.99

00:14:00.000 But these same clowns at The View didn't say anything about the trans radicals who seem to be doing a lot of killing these days, but they can compare Christians. 0.99

00:14:13.000 To the Taliban. Taliban, who actually threw, like, gay people off of buildings and has a zero tolerance for any of the stuff that the left is so into. 0.99

00:14:25.000 Hard to believe. It's hard to believe. 0.80

00:14:27.000 But again, it's why no one should get their news from The View. 1.00

00:14:32.000 It's why basically people like myself have fun dunking on every take that they have because it's so freaking stupid. 1.00

00:14:40.000 Again, you want to see how stupid they are, just go back and watch the episode I did when I went on The View. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Because we actually want to get in the mix. 0.99

00:14:48.000 We actually are capable of having that dialogue and debating those ideas.

00:14:53.000 They? Not so much.

00:14:55.000 So you can have Hollywood idiots like Patti LuPone call good, God-fearing Christian Americans indistinguishable from the Taliban. 1.00

00:15:07.000 But it's also, guys, why this episode is so important to me. 1.00

00:15:11.000 Because this is the extreme left-wing lunacy that's infecting our media, and more importantly, it's infecting our schools.

00:15:18.000 I mean, that's the real pandemic. 1.00

00:15:20.000 This shit is going into our schools. 1.00

00:15:23.000 They're manipulating our children, the most impressionable people in the world. 1.00

00:15:27.000 They're not actually teaching them math.

00:15:28.000 There's entire schools in a lot of these Democrat districts that the entire graduating class are not proficient in reading or math.

00:15:36.000 But that doesn't matter.

00:15:38.000 We were able to make sure that they knew there were 9,476 genders, and that's going to be all the education they need. 0.98

00:15:45.000 They're going to make a great living doing that.

00:15:46.000 No, they won't. They're going to get put on a government program and be Democrat voters for life.

00:15:51.000 They're going to mutilate their bodies permanently.

00:15:54.000 And when they come back, there'll be no consequence to the doctors or the teachers, rainbow-haired freaks that pushed it on those kids. 0.99

00:16:02.000 No, no, no. It was the new thing.

00:16:05.000 It was so cool. We need to lay out a plan to stop it.

00:16:10.000 And Ian Pryor, our guest who will be on here in a few minutes, can tell us all about that.

00:16:15.000 Because again, we need to be in this fight.

00:16:19.000 If we don't win that fight, folks, there's no actual hope.

00:16:22.000 So watch and learn how you can participate.

00:16:24.000 Whether it's at the highest level and running for school boards and actually being vocal, we must become unafraid and protect our kids.

00:16:30.000 But before we get there, our last story.

00:16:34.000 An IRS whistleblower tells Congress that Hunter Biden's probe is being mishandled.

00:16:41.000 I am shocked, folks! 0.94

00:16:43.000 I am shocked that the DOJ and the government officials investigating the corrupt, crackhead, whoremongering son Of the Commander-in-Chief of the United States, I'm shocked to hear that he's getting special treatment. 0.97

00:17:03.000 I wonder why. 0.94

00:17:05.000 I mean, when you look at all the smoke, when you look at all the things he's done, and you say, imagine it was Donald Trump Jr.

00:17:13.000 I'd have been in jail already, and yet...

00:17:16.000 Nothing's happening. So an IRS whistleblower wrote a letter to Congress saying that he wants to come forward to reveal a cover-up in the tax evasion probe into Hunter Biden.

00:17:28.000 According to his attorney, the unnamed whistleblower is a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent who has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high-profile controversial subject since early 2020.

00:17:46.000 The whistleblower reportedly wants to expose preferential treatment and false testimony to Congress by his senior political appointee.

00:17:56.000 Now that one's interesting. Having done about 50 hours of congressional A testimony where they were looking to throw me into jail for anything, where they could ask you the same question 17,000 times, hoping that maybe you'd change your mind or say something a little bit different, that they get you for perjury.

00:18:16.000 This one's going to be interesting, because we've been talking how we don't have equal justice under our laws, and this will probably be yet another...

00:18:26.000 Proof of that. This will be the only whistleblower that Democrats don't love.

00:18:31.000 Remember, they love their whistleblowers.

00:18:35.000 When it's against conservatives, when it's against Trump, I have a feeling this whistleblower won't be given that same treatment.

00:18:44.000 So let's watch this one closely.

00:18:47.000 But let's make sure we call it out, and let's make sure we also hold Republicans accountable.

00:18:52.000 So that they see that we expect them to act.

00:18:57.000 That we expect them to be treated the way we've been treated.

00:19:02.000 Because that's not what's been happening right now, folks.

00:19:05.000 So, let's get to Ian Pryor.

00:19:07.000 And I also want to quickly thank our advertisers.

00:19:10.000 And I think you're going to really like this one.

00:19:12.000 Thanks a lot, guys. Welcome to another episode of Triggered, and we have a really outstanding guest for today.

00:19:19.000 Ian Pryor is joining us.

00:19:20.000 Ian's a former Trump DOJ official.

00:19:23.000 He lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, the heart of the lunatic left and the fight against our children and the radicalization of our kids in schools, and he helped lead that fight against the leftists.

00:19:36.000 He's the author of Parents of the World Unite, How to Save Our Schools from the Left's Radical Agenda.

00:19:44.000 He's also the executive director of Fight for Schools and is just someone who's on the forefront of that issue and combating the leftists and their indoctrination and the attempt to take over of our children.

00:19:56.000 You're going to really like this one, but first I want to thank our sponsors who make the show possible.

00:20:02.000 Like I keep saying guys, you don't have to choose between what you believe and what you want to buy.

00:20:08.000 It's why I'm excited about a brand new sponsor, Blackout Coffee.

00:20:12.000 You're probably going to drink coffee.

00:20:14.000 Just like you're going to have a cell phone and you can support Patriot Mobile or those who are trying to cancel you.

00:20:20.000 And if you do...

00:20:21.000 Support a brand that aligns with your conservative values.

00:20:25.000 It's American-made, it's family-owned, and they support our values.

00:20:30.000 From sourcing the beans to roasting and the process that that entails, not exactly easy, and to the customer support and shipping, blackout coffee will never compromise on taste or quality.

00:20:42.000 And they do it all while supporting freedom-loving values.

00:20:47.000 Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash John Jr.

00:20:50.000 for 20% off your first order.

00:20:52.000 Check them out. I think you'll like it.

00:20:54.000 I know I've been drinking it now for a couple weeks as I was checking it out for this show, and it's been great.

00:20:59.000 That's blackoutcoffee.com slash John Jr.

00:21:03.000 And guys, I'll keep saying it.

00:21:04.000 Support the companies who support you, so support Blackout Coffee.

00:21:08.000 And I also want to make sure...

00:21:11.000 Gold and silver can protect your retirement savings from inflation and dollar devaluation.

00:21:17.000 You see the world.

00:21:19.000 You see the warning signs.

00:21:20.000 You see the banks collapsing.

00:22:07.000 And now, we're going to sit down with Ian Pryor.

00:22:10.000 Guys, you're gonna like this one.

00:22:12.000 In studio today, we have Ian Pryor.

00:22:15.000 Ian is a former DOJ official.

00:22:17.000 He lives in the heart of...

00:22:23.000 Woke Inc., Loudoun County, Virginia, right outside of D.C. That's where I'd say the cause of the vast majority of America's political problems stem from, as well as sort of the driving force of woke BS. He's written a book, Parents of the World Unite, as a leader in the forefront and the fight to save our schools from the left's radical agenda.

00:22:51.000 And he also is the Executive Director of Fight for Schools.

00:22:55.000 So, Ian, tell us, what the hell is going on?

00:22:59.000 How did it come so quickly?

00:23:01.000 You know, I don't think it necessarily came quickly, right?

00:23:03.000 I think this is something that's been going on for years, right?

00:23:06.000 You can go back to the Carter administration centralizing power under the Department of Education.

00:23:11.000 But people didn't really catch on until they were forced to look at it, right?

00:23:15.000 And when were they forced to look at it?

00:23:16.000 Starting in March of 2020 when COVID happens.

00:23:18.000 People are at home with their computers.

00:23:21.000 They're sitting next to their kids with their Chromebooks and looking at what's going on.

00:23:25.000 And at that point in time, it was really a lot of the race, critical race theory issues, right?

00:23:29.000 Where it's, oh, you're an oppressor or you're oppressed.

00:23:31.000 And I think parents are like, well, what's going on here?

00:23:33.000 And then schools stayed closed in a lot of places.

00:23:36.000 Parents wanted schools open.

00:23:37.000 The politicians were like, no, no, no, no.

00:23:39.000 We're going to keep schools closed here.

00:23:40.000 Even though, you know, in other parts of the country they were able to safely reopen.

00:23:43.000 And so you had these two sort of unifying movements that came together.

00:23:48.000 Throw in, you know, an election in 2021 in Virginia where the spotlight is on Virginia.

00:23:54.000 And really in Northern Virginia things just exploded and we really peeled back the curtain on what was going on in our schools.

00:24:01.000 I guess it's no different than sort of everything else that we've sort of discovered, right?

00:24:05.000 Like, I've been talking about the Ukraine war, and of course we've been waging a war in Ukraine, unbeknownst to the American public.

00:24:10.000 Like, this is the stuff that they wanted to do, and it sort of took, like all the other issues, it's almost like it took Donald Trump and, like, Trump derangement syndrome to actually say the quiet parts out loud.

00:24:21.000 So I imagine the school issue, like everything else that we're discovering about our country that we didn't believe could ever happen in our country, Was probably going on for quite some time.

00:24:32.000 It just took that cataclysmic event to actually have it all come out.

00:24:37.000 Yeah, it did. And you talk about Trump derangement syndrome.

00:24:39.000 Well, you know, once Biden gets elected, the far left activists need a new derangement syndrome, right?

00:24:44.000 And they just start looking at their neighbors.

00:24:46.000 And saying, well, this person, you know, isn't in favor of, you know, biological boys using bathrooms.

00:24:52.000 So we're going to obsess over this person because they're effective or they speak at school board meetings and they just demonize everybody.

00:24:58.000 Like the left will, it doesn't matter if you're president of the United States, if you're a congressman or you're, you know, somebody down the street, right?

00:25:03.000 They're going to try and demonize you if you do not believe what they believe, raise your kids the way they want you to, say the things that they want you to.

00:25:11.000 And, you know, that's really what exploded, I think, in Virginia.

00:25:14.000 But now we're seeing it all across the country.

00:25:16.000 And I guess that's sort of, I mean, the good and the bad of every situation, right?

00:25:20.000 The shutting down schools theoretically for our children's education was a total disaster, right?

00:25:27.000 I mean, like, you know, not that they were doing good at math or reading or basic stuff that you'd learn in schools anyway because they're being indoctrinated, but it actually, the good of it was...

00:25:37.000 That by the left continuing to do the lockdowns and listening to the, you know, teachers unions and just running with their narrative, it actually gave us time and parents time to actually figure this out.

00:25:49.000 So what they thought they were doing themselves a big favor probably was...

00:25:53.000 You know, a kill shot to the insanity of their agenda and actually, you know, bringing that to the light of the people.

00:26:00.000 Yeah, and we saw that really in Loudoun County where when schools were closed, you had this group of parents that were really pushing to reopen schools and they organized.

00:26:08.000 I mean, they really were sort of the prototype of what we really developed in 2021.

00:26:13.000 And so by the time we get into, you know, local cancel culture issues, critical race theory, you know, sexual assault cover-ups, We already had the germ of an organization in place, and it was really easy to kind of bring everybody together.

00:26:29.000 We were trying to remove school board meetings, which required getting signatures.

00:26:33.000 We got like 25,000 signatures over the course of six months, and I think changed the course of history in Virginia as a result.

00:26:40.000 Well, I've said that. I mean, for people, a big tenant of the show, how do we fight back?

00:26:44.000 How do we get involved? The thing I've said for months now, and probably years, but certainly months since we started this show, is get on your school board.

00:26:53.000 You don't have to run for Senate.

00:26:54.000 You don't have to run for Congress.

00:26:56.000 But if you have kids, get on your school board.

00:26:59.000 Because it was always fascinating to watch how many...

00:27:03.000 Of these school board people, like, don't even have children.

00:27:06.000 Right. Like, they have no interest in having children, but they do want to control your children. 0.97

00:27:10.000 And they want to have the ultimate say.

00:27:12.000 And that continues to happen as they carve out parents and their rights and people who showed up to those meetings were labeled by our DOJ and FBI as domestic terrorists.

00:27:20.000 I mean, it's insanity.

00:27:22.000 Well, and you really, right now, you have kind of three people that run for school boards, right?

00:27:26.000 You've got your dyed-in-the-wool activists.

00:27:28.000 They want to go in there and change policy.

00:27:31.000 They want to make sure that kids go to school and tell their advisor that they want to be a girl now and parents don't know.

00:27:38.000 Then you've got the political climbers, right, on the left.

00:27:41.000 They're like, this is my way to the next position.

00:27:44.000 I'm going to go to the state senate or house of delegates and make a political career out of it.

00:27:49.000 Then you have people that are going there to do the right thing.

00:27:51.000 The problem with that third group is that they're not necessarily tough enough to deal with those other two that beat them down to the point where they become ineffective.

00:28:00.000 So you need that third group, but you need people that are saying, I'm going to go there and I'm going to break some things.

00:28:05.000 Yeah, I mean, because there's a social consequence to taking on these things.

00:28:10.000 Even though, I mean, I feel like at any other point in history, three years ago, we think we're being punked right now.

00:28:17.000 We'll talk about the Washington State bill in a second, but every day there's something else that is like, no way.

00:28:23.000 It can't be real, and yet it is.

00:28:26.000 I know actually one of the sponsors of this show, Patriot Mobile, they funded a school board race down outside of Dallas and won and took control of this leftist insane board.

00:28:39.000 And put people in there who just believed and shared the values of the rest of the constituency of that neighborhood.

00:28:45.000 And I mean, you know, I think it was CNBC and, like, the big news agencies, like, went after...

00:28:51.000 They're promoting racism and misogyny and, you know, whatever the ists, you know, you're always something.

00:28:56.000 It doesn't have to do anything with the topic, but, like, it was a punishable offense to actually elect people to a school board that share the value of the parents of that school district and...

00:29:09.000 They went after even the corporate sponsors who helped make that happen.

00:29:13.000 Again, they're a sponsor of the show, so they have some guts and they're willing to be in that fight, but that's how bad it's gotten.

00:29:19.000 So for the average guy who can't withstand that, it's not easy, but we need fighters in there more than anywhere.

00:29:25.000 Yeah, and you see from the left that they don't want to debate ideas, right?

00:29:29.000 You talk about the isms.

00:29:30.000 They're going to label you.

00:29:31.000 They're going to attack you personally.

00:29:33.000 The First Amendment is not sacred to them, right?

00:29:36.000 I mean, they do not want to have the marketplace of ideas where, all right, you've got a policy.

00:29:41.000 We don't agree with that policy.

00:29:42.000 Let's debate it. Let's have a fair debate.

00:29:43.000 Instead, they'll gaslight you. They'll say, well, We're not teaching critical race theory.

00:29:46.000 Well, no one ever says you're teaching it like a class, but it's in everything that you do.

00:29:51.000 It's in your policies and how you teach.

00:29:53.000 Well, and that's what, there's like a subversive curriculum, right?

00:29:56.000 I saw this with my kids in New York.

00:29:58.000 One of my kids, you know, at a school, you know, very high end, very expensive private school in New York.

00:30:04.000 One of these things that, you know, the New York parents, you know, killed to get their kids into those schools.

00:30:09.000 She was younger, but we had some friends through politics, a few conservatives in New York, and the mom was talking to the kids one day and finds out they had a one-hour trans-curriculum.

00:30:22.000 And this is like... This is like 1516, right?

00:30:25.000 Like this is prior to even that, so it's been going on longer than we believe, but there is an entire trans curriculum for like an hour a day at this school, and it was the only class that had no homework, right?

00:30:37.000 They weren't going to let the kids take it home.

00:30:40.000 So the mother, sort of an actually tough sort of badass woman, she goes around and speaks to all the other parents, and they're outraged, and they're all upset.

00:30:49.000 She goes in to speak to the school.

00:30:51.000 Speaks to the headmaster. Oh, well, we're sorry that you're, you know, racist, and you wouldn't, and you're the only person that's complained that all the other parents, you know, that are aware of it are 100% for that.

00:31:05.000 You're trying to beat this woman down, and she goes, well, that's bullshit, because I've spoken to all the other parents, and they all agree, and you're lying to my face right now. 0.96

00:31:13.000 And, like, pulled the kids from the school and like that. 0.99

00:31:15.000 But, like, It wasn't just like, okay, we got caught.

00:31:19.000 It was that we're going to make you feel bad about getting caught.

00:31:21.000 Even though we lied to you, even though we're manipulating the truth, even though we're sort of throwing the blame on other people, they're trying to create that consequence.

00:31:29.000 And that's scary stuff.

00:31:30.000 Well, they gaslight. I mean, it was a couple of weeks ago, Hakeem Jeffries was on the House floor and he said...

00:31:35.000 Well, these book banners, you know, they don't want to teach our kids about the Holocaust.

00:31:40.000 So I'm like, all right, well, I'm going to go into our local school district and do a little book research.

00:31:44.000 And there was, you know, one book about trans kids had like 17 copies.

00:31:47.000 Another one had 31 copies.

00:31:49.000 Another one had 39 copies.

00:31:51.000 You know how many copies of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich?

00:31:53.000 Which, if you want to understand how the Holocaust happened, You've got to read that book, right?

00:31:57.000 Zero copies. They only had three copies of Roots.

00:32:00.000 Now, a couple of people pushed back and they said, well, those are long books.

00:32:02.000 I'm like, well, you can get Stephen King's It, you can get The Stand, you can get all these fiction books in those libraries, but you don't actually, you're going out there saying parents don't want to teach about the Holocaust, but you don't have seminal works in there about that.

00:32:14.000 No, they want to teach this trans ideology.

00:32:16.000 That's just the bottom line.

00:32:17.000 Yeah, I mean, but that's the world we live in right now.

00:32:20.000 I mean, it's no different on social, right?

00:32:22.000 Right. Guys like you, guys like me, you know, if I put something, I just see it.

00:32:26.000 It's like, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist like five years ago when I was like, they're shadow banning me.

00:32:30.000 They're like, how do you know? How can you prove it?

00:32:32.000 I was like, well, yesterday I was averaging like 10,000 retweets a tweet.

00:32:35.000 Today I'm getting four. They're like, well, 4,000?

00:32:37.000 They go, no, no, no, four. Like, single digits, four.

00:32:41.000 Like, something changed, right?

00:32:43.000 It didn't, and, you know, and they do that.

00:32:45.000 Social, Google search. You know, they're manipulating what you see.

00:32:50.000 And so I don't actually think it represents the real will of the people.

00:32:53.000 Though if you keep yourself in those bubbles of social or, you know, Washington, D.C., you'd think that this is all the rage with, you know, everyone who's independent or democratic across the country.

00:33:05.000 We've lost the idea that there could still be moderate Democrat voters out there, but there are no more moderate Democrat politicians, as evidenced by what we saw happening in Washington state this week.

00:33:18.000 Yeah, no, I think that's right.

00:33:19.000 And I mean, I think one of the lessons in Virginia was you had moderate Democrat voters go out and vote for a Republican for the first time.

00:33:25.000 I mean, I can't tell you how many times we were out at the polls, you know, getting signatures for our petitions.

00:33:30.000 You had people come out, you know, I never voted for a Republican before, but I am this time.

00:33:34.000 I mean, we even had people say, well, I voted for McAuliffe.

00:33:36.000 Well, I'll still sign your petition.

00:33:37.000 We're like, all right, you do what you're going to do.

00:33:39.000 But, you know, there are people out there that look at these things and, you know, they don't like the idea of biological males in girls' sports.

00:33:48.000 They don't like it. Listen, I have five kids.

00:33:50.000 I know how that happens now, so I got a different hobby.

00:33:53.000 But like, you know, it's a lot of work, man.

00:33:56.000 One of my daughters is a really good athlete, and like, the amount of time and energy it takes to nurture that, and to bring them to every practice, and every game, and travel, and this, and that. 0.67

00:34:05.000 You know, the average mother that's doing that across the country, every weekend for their kid to give them a chance, and then, like, someone's just like, I'm a girl, you know, sort of a journeyman male athlete, like, I'm not gonna get a scholarship, but if I'm trans, you're the ultimate form of privilege in America today.

00:34:21.000 Totally. And so you could become, you could be a journeyman, very average, less than average, male athlete, Become a female.

00:34:30.000 Dominate that sport.

00:34:31.000 Be treated like you're the ultimate female athlete. 0.96

00:34:34.000 And you have the added benefit of being trans on top of that.

00:34:37.000 It's mind-blowing.

00:34:39.000 And I want to know, where are the feminists? 1.00

00:34:41.000 Where are the people that fought for Title IX? Because this seems to be like...

00:34:45.000 They can go along with this blindly.

00:34:47.000 They're either... So weak, stupid, or they're just so worried about the social consequence of coming out against this thing, even though they had no problem being vocal for the last 30 years. 1.00

00:35:00.000 Yeah, I mean, I think that's it. 1.00

00:35:02.000 I think that the pushback on this issue is unlike anything else that the average person is willing to do, right?

00:35:09.000 I mean, they may think this, but they don't want to get canceled, right?

00:35:12.000 I mean, they're not necessarily in the...

00:35:14.000 You know, the industry where, all right, they go out and they're on Twitter, they go on the news, they're, you know, like us, right?

00:35:20.000 They don't want to lose their business because, you know, next thing you know, their business is being flooded on Yelp with transphobe, transphobe, transphobe, right?

00:35:28.000 And they say, they talk about, oh, we need to protect trans rights.

00:35:31.000 No, no, no. What you're asking for is to protect trans super rights because they have super rights.

00:35:35.000 There's no pretense of, like, they want to be equal.

00:35:38.000 Right. Because... They are.

00:35:40.000 Like, I can't name a right that I have that a trans person, certainly an adult, because again, once you get into children's issues, like, who's more impressionable than a young child?

00:35:51.000 And that they're trying to carve parents out of that process is a whole nother story, but, like...

00:35:55.000 I can't name a right that I have that they don't have.

00:35:59.000 But, you know, if they're trans, I mean, they put that on a, you know, corporate America job application.

00:36:04.000 It's like, you know, that like replaces being a 4.0 student or numerous other things.

00:36:11.000 It almost gets rid of like the need for accomplishment because it's like, well, we need to check, you know, we can do that.

00:36:15.000 Oh, trans minority. It's like, oh, it's like the holy grail of diversity.

00:36:19.000 Now, once they hire it, if they totally underperform, you can never fire them because you'll get sued.

00:36:23.000 But it doesn't seem to affect anything.

00:36:25.000 Yeah, and if you think about kind of an analogy with the Americans with Disability Act, right?

00:36:30.000 You know, you'd make accommodations.

00:36:32.000 So you'd put a ramp somewhere, or you'd get handicapped spaces.

00:36:35.000 And yeah, it's a mild inconvenience for people, but like, big deal, right?

00:36:38.000 Okay, yeah, I'll leave the ramp.

00:36:40.000 We're building. We've done it all over the, you know, and then you have the people that take advantage of that, and they go around, try to find some flaw.

00:36:46.000 Like, they don't really have a problem. They're never actually using the thing, but...

00:36:49.000 They're literally professional litigants.

00:36:51.000 They go and try to find some way you may have violated the code for the handicap ramp to be able to sue you for a nuisance fee, basically.

00:36:58.000 Right. And so they're doing that, I imagine, in this movement as well.

00:37:01.000 Yeah, but this movement is even more problematic because the rights or the super rights that they're getting actually impact not other people's convenience, but their rights too, right?

00:37:10.000 So if a biological girl feels uncomfortable using a bathroom with a biological boy, they tell the biological girl, Well, you can go use the single-use restroom, or you can go see the unified mental health team, and they'll get your mind right. 0.98

00:37:22.000 I mean, that's discrimination. That is discrimination against the girl. 1.00

00:37:25.000 That's sex discrimination. Well, yeah, I spoke to Riley Gaines, who was the swimmer who literally tied Leah Thomas, and yet they gave, meaning exact score, to the 100th.

00:37:34.000 Tied Leah Thomas, the Penn swimmer, my alma mater, I'm a little bit embarrassed, but who, you know, became the trans sensation, journeyman, male swimmer, won the female national championship, literally tied Riley Gaines, and the actual woman who spent her whole life trying to dominate her sport and did, they're like, well, we're giving it to Leah Thomas.

00:37:54.000 I'm like, well, it's a tie. Like, why does Lea Thomas, why is it arbitrarily you just decide you're just gonna give it to the dude who last season was swimming as a male?

00:38:05.000 And yet, there's nothing, and if she says anything, she's, again, transphobic, she's, you know, I don't even understand anymore.

00:38:12.000 Well, and the hypocrisy, I mean, look, if you're a male and you want to identify as a female, you'd think, well, I'm a female now.

00:38:18.000 I'm going to go prove that I can compete in men's sports, right?

00:38:21.000 So go compete in men's sports and show everybody that, well, females can compete in men's sports too, okay?

00:38:26.000 It defies reality, but, you know, the fact that all we're looking at is males going and competing in girls' sports, right?

00:38:33.000 It never goes the other way, right?

00:38:34.000 It's not like, it's like, hey, it works both ways.

00:38:36.000 You know what I mean? Or they'll find one example where some dude tripped, and the trans person wins, and it's like, oh look, they dominated. 0.92

00:38:43.000 It's like, well, it's so lopsided.

00:38:46.000 And that's why I don't understand that it feels like, to me, in watching it, the people that are supporting these things, the people that are, you know, yeah, Dylan Mulvaney should have a Nike bra on, and that's wonderful.

00:38:58.000 They're all female. Why are females seemingly leading the charge To eliminate the relevance and, you know, of females. 1.00

00:39:08.000 Like, there's not great female athletes that they could choose from. 1.00

00:39:11.000 They gotta choose a lunatic. 0.99

00:39:13.000 And then you watch, you know, you watch the videos dancing around like a clown. 0.99

00:39:16.000 It's like every negative female stereotype that, again, the feminists have spent the last 50 years trying to disband, that person's exemplifying on a video making a fool of themselves and, like, that's the face of Nike. 1.00

00:39:29.000 And Tampax, like...

00:39:32.000 Well, that's why I think you're seeing a difference between what happened with Bud Light and what happened with Tampax and Nike, right?

00:39:39.000 Tampax, oh, it's a story and, you know, whatever.

00:39:42.000 It gets pushed around in conservative circles.

00:39:43.000 But in Bud Light, now we're talking about a product that, you know, mostly men buy.

00:39:47.000 They're the ones like, whoa, wait a minute, right?

00:39:49.000 And you don't have in these female products. 1.00

00:39:51.000 I never thought about it from a gender perspective.

00:39:53.000 I was thinking sort of right and left, you know, blue collar versus not.

00:39:57.000 But maybe that's what it is.

00:39:59.000 Yeah, it's strange.

00:40:00.000 As I watch this play out, I think the juxtaposition of Dylan Mulvaney and a product that is so associated with males, you put those two things together, now you have a Tinder box.

00:40:14.000 Well, you don't have that when Dylan Mulvaney's out there with the extra boxes of Tampax, right?

00:40:19.000 It doesn't become a thing. I'll get crap for saying this because these are brutal. 0.95

00:40:26.000 But like... There's literally zero reason for Dylan Mulvaney to have... 0.96

00:40:32.000 Zero. Tampons! 1.00

00:40:34.000 Zero. It's a South Park episode.

00:40:37.000 It's a South Park episode. I'm looking around and being like, dude, please tell me, like, just tell me that I'm just the star of The Truman Show.

00:40:42.000 You know what I mean? Like, I don't know.

00:40:44.000 Like, they've been filming me for years, and everyone is just an actor in my life, and I'm just unaware.

00:40:50.000 Because it feels like it has to be that way.

00:40:53.000 So I get what you're saying.

00:40:54.000 You're not wrong. And yet, like...

00:40:56.000 Just from a standpoint of sanity and rational, whether it's sports bras for someone without breasts or tampons for someone who doesn't menstruate, I don't understand. 0.50

00:41:12.000 And maybe we don't have to.

00:41:13.000 Maybe they just don't care because they have so much power that you don't have to understand.

00:41:17.000 They control Big Tech, they control Search, they control the purse strings, they control pop culture.

00:41:24.000 I guess Nike's big enough because they got the power of the woke NBA stars and all these people that maybe they don't go after them the same way.

00:41:35.000 It's insane. I mean, they did something with one of the top female sprinters who was like a 10-time gold medalist type of thing, and it was like, wow, she got pregnant.

00:41:43.000 Let's get her off the books. 1.00

00:41:44.000 So anyway, she's one of the great athletes of all time, and now she's sort of off the books.

00:41:48.000 I think she went and started her own brand, which is probably a great idea.

00:41:52.000 But, like, you're going to give it to Bill Mulvaney to replace that?

00:41:56.000 There's not thousands of incredible female athletes out there? 1.00

00:41:59.000 Well, and what was it?

00:42:00.000 The U.S. women's soccer player, Megan Rapone or whatever.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, Raphineau or whatever. She comes out in favor of males and girls sports. 1.00

00:42:08.000 It's like, all right, so you climb up the ladder and you become the best at your spot in female sports. 1.00

00:42:14.000 And then you pull up the ladder for everybody else coming forward.

00:42:17.000 It feels like some of the argument against sort of the billionaire oligarch class, which is like, Hey, they're really pro-America.

00:42:23.000 Until they get power, and then it's like, well, I can save an extra half a cent on my widget from China by doing it this way, so we're no longer America first.

00:42:29.000 I mean, that's exactly the Megan Rapinoe argument, right?

00:42:32.000 She did that. She got the best.

00:42:33.000 She has the sponsorship deals.

00:42:35.000 Now, screw everyone else.

00:42:37.000 I can just go full woke, and I get the credit for that, and they're capitalizing on it, ultimately.

00:42:42.000 Yeah. And, you know, I mentioned South Park earlier because I do think that watching them is five years in the future, right?

00:42:50.000 You're like, all right, what are we looking at five years in the future?

00:42:51.000 Now, it's going on. There was an episode, I don't know, 15 years ago where, I don't know, Stan or Kyle's dad, you know, he wants to become a dolphin.

00:43:00.000 So he wears a dolphin shirt.

00:43:02.000 He's mad at the doctor.

00:43:03.000 The doctor gave Mr. Garrison a sex change operation. 0.55

00:43:06.000 The kid then wanted Negroplasty, I guess. 1.00

00:43:08.000 And the dad goes in.

00:43:10.000 He's got a dolphin shirt on. He's like, the dad's yelling at me.

00:43:12.000 He's like, I can make you a dolphin.

00:43:14.000 He's like, oh. And then he becomes a dolphin, right?

00:43:16.000 And you're like, oh, that's crazy.

00:43:17.000 That's crazy. Yeah, no, now you can be, you know, identify as animals.

00:43:21.000 Yeah, no, I mean, South Park doesn't miss.

00:43:22.000 They did that, I mean, the one, since we're talking about sort of transgender athletes, right?

00:43:26.000 I mean, when they had, like, the macho man Randy Savage come in and do it.

00:43:30.000 Heather, yeah. But it's true. 0.90

00:43:33.000 There's no, you know, you can just...

00:43:36.000 Decide. The reality is, when people start, you can talk about, you know, this was clearly, and it was labeled as such by our own medical institutions, who are pretty damn woke, and they changed it a couple years ago, but this was always designated as sort of mental illness, and then, you know, now it's, you know, now it's just civil rights, but how soon till everyone starts gaming that system?

00:43:55.000 Meaning, you know, hey, I'd like to go to Harvard, or I want to get a scholarship.

00:43:59.000 It's like, well, you ain't going to do it as a male, so...

00:44:02.000 It's like the easy button.

00:44:03.000 It's like the new easy button of the radical left.

00:44:06.000 Well, I mean, you know, part of a theory is, I mean, is Dylan Mulvaney just gaming the system?

00:44:10.000 It would be great for a conservative to do that. 0.99

00:44:13.000 If Dylan Mulvaney came out and be like, I was just fucking with you guys. 1.00

00:44:15.000 Like, this is bullshit. Like, I mean... 1.00

00:44:18.000 It's rather extreme. I don't know that I'd go that far, but in the world of TikTok and YouTube and stuff like that, people will go through...

00:44:24.000 It's like jackass on steroids times about a billion.

00:44:28.000 If that happened, I'd be like, okay, that was... 0.98

00:44:31.000 It's Borat. It's Borat.

00:44:33.000 Exactly. I don't think that's going to happen, unfortunately.

00:44:37.000 But if it did, that would be amazing because I think that could be a kill shot to the insanity of what's going on.

00:44:43.000 Not only was it always a joke, we got you all to go in.

00:44:46.000 The guy made millions of dollars representing brands that wouldn't even think about giving an actual woman with no athletic accomplishment or the same roles.

00:44:59.000 It'd be great.

00:45:01.000 Yeah, I'd love for someone to go out there with that plan in mind and say, why aren't we doing it?

00:45:06.000 I would be convinced, especially in the high school to college, where it's like, well, you don't actually have to do the surgery.

00:45:13.000 You don't actually have to take hormones.

00:45:16.000 So you're saying, I can basically move myself up in sort of the selection process by levels, entire levels, just by being like...

00:45:28.000 Trans. Like, I identify as this.

00:45:30.000 Like, everyone's going to be gaming the system.

00:45:32.000 It's going to turn the whole thing into a joke.

00:45:34.000 Well, I mean, before all this started, before I got involved in all this school stuff, I didn't know that, okay, so if you're a boy and you identify as a girl, but you still actually are attracted to girls, and you haven't had the surgery, like, most people, I think, that aren't paying attention to this, don't realize that.

00:45:49.000 This is not, okay, this person had surgery, and everything that, you know, is about a girl, they're that.

00:45:55.000 No, it's, I just identify as, maybe some days I don't.

00:45:58.000 You know, that would be gender fluid. 1.00

00:46:00.000 Some days I'm a boy, some days I'm a girl.

00:46:02.000 Like, you could do that.

00:46:04.000 I mean, anybody could say, oh, look, I'm gender fluid some days.

00:46:06.000 You know, on Sundays I'm a girl, but the rest of the time I'm a guy.

00:46:09.000 Yeah, I guess there's a whole different level of commitment if you're doing surgeries.

00:46:14.000 A little harder.

00:46:16.000 I'm not saying I condone it either way, but you're right.

00:46:19.000 When it's like the... I'm whatever I feel like this morning, and you must accept that.

00:46:24.000 You must call me by my pronouns.

00:46:27.000 And, you know, again, I'm maybe libertarian on the issue, but, like, I don't care what you do, like, when you're an adult, and you, like, if you want to... 1.00

00:46:33.000 But, like, don't jam that shit down my throat. 0.99

00:46:35.000 I don't want to... Like, I'm not violating your civil rights by... 1.00

00:46:39.000 Not acknowledging your ever-changing and always sort of moving goalposts further towards the abyss in terms of just reasonableness.

00:46:50.000 And yet, that seems to be what they expect.

00:46:51.000 I mean, it's a slippery slope.

00:46:53.000 I mean, you know, if we're saying that somebody is a frequent heroin user and they want to identify as that, and that's what they are, so leave me alone.

00:47:02.000 And you're like, well, I can't help you?

00:47:03.000 Like, we can't help you not kill yourself?

00:47:05.000 Yeah. We must accommodate every aspect of your deranged quest for death. 1.00

00:47:13.000 Where does it end?

00:47:17.000 Where does it end?

00:47:19.000 That's a great question, but I think we're seeing some of the possibilities right now.

00:47:23.000 When states like Washington start putting in bills saying, we're going to take your kid away from you if you don't transition your child if they want to, you're going to get people...

00:47:34.000 That, you know, they may not have thought about this issue before.

00:47:36.000 They may be on the left on a lot of things saying, well, wait, wait.

00:47:39.000 When it comes to my house, when these policies come to my home, now I'm going to start paying attention.

00:47:44.000 And they're going to start awakening more and more and more people the further they push this.

00:47:49.000 Yeah. Well, okay, so this is like Washington state bills, like SB, like, 9955 or 5599 or whatever it was.

00:47:56.000 I know, I think I spoke about it on, you know, Monday in my intro to Stephen Miller.

00:48:01.000 And, uh... It literally says that.

00:48:04.000 I mean, Washington State passed a bill allowing the state to take children away from their parents if they don't just go along with the child's transitioning.

00:48:15.000 Now, I don't know anyone more impressionable than a young child.

00:48:18.000 I think we can look at the history of American advertising, whether it's cigarettes or otherwise, and see how they hooked kids on stuff and how easy that was to do.

00:48:26.000 But Washington State, and 100% of the Democrats supported it.

00:48:30.000 Zero of the Republicans, just so we understand where the parties are.

00:48:35.000 Even in Washington State, and even for some of those Republicans who are going to be in more moderate districts, we're like, yeah, no, we're not doing that.

00:48:41.000 This kid couldn't buy a pack of cigarettes legally.

00:48:45.000 Couldn't have vote. But the state is going to remove them and give them sanctuary from the parents who are just like, I'm just not going to sign off on that.

00:48:52.000 Like, it's crazy.

00:48:54.000 Like, if I don't want my kid to go to a field trip, I don't sign off at that state's going to start saying, hey, well, no, no, no, they're going to a special one.

00:48:59.000 We're going to make sure. I've never seen anything like it.

00:49:02.000 It's actually happening.

00:49:04.000 And 100% of one of the major parties of this country is going along with it blindly.

00:49:09.000 Well, they're trying to have their cake and eat it too, right?

00:49:11.000 So what they'll say is, well, if you don't do this, these kids are at risk for suicide.

00:49:16.000 This is effectively medical treatment that you're denying your children.

00:49:20.000 So they say that on one hand.

00:49:21.000 And then on the other hand, with the schools, they say, well, you can't tell the parents if the kid comes and says, you know, I want to transition.

00:49:27.000 So you're denying information to the parents about your child's medical condition, their mental health condition.

00:49:34.000 Right? You gotta get a permission slip to give them Tylenol.

00:49:37.000 But if you're gonna start them down this road to, you know, ultimately puberty blockers, testosterone, surgery, you don't have to tell them for that.

00:49:44.000 But make sure you get that permission slip for Tylenol.

00:49:46.000 It's insane. I didn't realize sort of the have your cake and eat it too argument.

00:49:50.000 And that really is, right?

00:49:53.000 So, I mean, what other states Are doing this or attempting it?

00:49:57.000 Who are the most egregious defenders?

00:49:59.000 And what have you seen? I mean, you're obviously researching the stuff.

00:50:01.000 You're in that, I mean, you know, it's your white whale, right?

00:50:06.000 I mean, you're obviously doing a lot of other stuff, but it's such a big one, and I can't think of a more noble cause.

00:50:11.000 What are the other states that are doing this?

00:50:12.000 What are the other guys that have tried it?

00:50:14.000 Who has accomplished it?

00:50:15.000 I imagine this will actually pass the Washington, I guess it went through the House, and it was, you know, 100% Democrat vote.

00:50:21.000 I mean, to me, it's sanctioned kidnapping.

00:50:24.000 Yeah. It's state-sanctioned kidnapping.

00:50:27.000 And, like, I think the only thing you can do is actually get out of those states because they're going to, I mean, there will soon be, I'm sure, criminal consequences to parents not doing this.

00:50:37.000 I imagine that's the next step.

00:50:39.000 I mean, if taking your kids away isn't enough, what other decisions can kids make of this gravity that permanently affect them that you could effectively carve out the parents or make sure that they don't have any say or just take them totally?

00:50:50.000 Does it exist? California recently passed a bill that makes it essentially a sanctuary state for these surgeries and these treatments so that kids can go there.

00:50:58.000 Parents don't have to be informed.

00:50:59.000 It's a magnet, right?

00:51:01.000 It's an attractive nuisance for kids to go to California.

00:51:03.000 In Virginia, we had a legislator by the name of Elizabeth Guzman who's now looking to move up to the Senate. 1.00

00:51:09.000 In 2020, she introduced a bill that would criminalize parents.

00:51:12.000 So if you didn't give your child these kind of medical treatments, then you could be prosecuted.

00:51:18.000 Now, it didn't go anywhere, but that's where they're going to go next.

00:51:22.000 And quite frankly, a lot of the schools that say, you know, we're not going to tell parents, they really, I mean, in theory, they could be calling Child Protective Services right now because their whole motivation is, well, we need to protect the children from the parents that won't give their kids this important medical care, which, you know... Yeah, so they're saying it's essentially abuse denial.

00:51:41.000 Exactly. And that's going on right now.

00:51:43.000 I mean, no one's calling CPS, but in theory they could with these policies because that's the rationale behind these policies is that it's abuse not to allow your child to, you know, make lifetime decisions at the age of 10.

00:51:56.000 So, you know, and I'm with him on this one, 100%.

00:51:59.000 Elon Musk basically said, you know, you gotta throw these people in jail who are pushing for this stuff and who would allow it to happen.

00:52:06.000 And I guess that's the reality.

00:52:07.000 Is there any consequence?

00:52:09.000 Meaning, you know, you push a five-year-old or a seven-year-old or a ten-year-old into, you know, gender-affirming care, whatever the hell they call it.

00:52:18.000 You know, they always have to, they're very good at marketing to make it sound like it's, you know, nice and wonderful, but they're pushing, you know, minors into sex change operations.

00:52:25.000 Is there any consequence to those doctors if that kid wakes up at 18 and is like, what the hell did you do to me?

00:52:31.000 I mean, you see some of the videos and, you know, I saw a couple over the weekend just watching this stuff.

00:52:36.000 It's, you know, the recidivism rate is like 93%, like people who do it and regret it later.

00:52:42.000 I mean, that's crazy, but you see some of the videos of these people and they're like, you know, 34-year-old, you know, adult male with no facial hair, no nothing, because they were put into the, and they're just like, I'll never have kids.

00:52:53.000 I regretted it, but I listened to my rainbow-haired teacher freak show. 0.99

00:52:59.000 Is there any accountability to the people that were in that sort of chain of power or command that these kids could eventually go back and sue?

00:53:10.000 You know, if it was me, I'd be going after their medical licenses.

00:53:13.000 Like, hey man, you took advantage of a minor.

00:53:15.000 You got them to do this.

00:53:16.000 You carved out the parents of the process.

00:53:18.000 Now five, six, seven, ten years later, they realize you basically involuntarily sterilized them.

00:53:25.000 They weren't of an age where they could actually consent to it legally anyway.

00:53:29.000 Is there ever a way that we could push for those ramifications?

00:53:32.000 To make it like, where every doctor's not like, hey!

00:53:35.000 You know, it's like, you know, the COVID shot you're finding out.

00:53:37.000 Like, oh yeah, we got an extra 50 bucks a person for just jamming it in there.

00:53:41.000 They're making money on it.

00:53:42.000 It's a racket. Is there a consequence?

00:53:45.000 Well, two points on that. One, you talk about people that regret it.

00:53:49.000 We don't even know the extent of what that's going to look like because this is sort of a new thing, right?

00:53:54.000 There's not 20, 30, 40 years of this.

00:53:56.000 You see some people, but it's the forward end of the bell curve.

00:54:00.000 This is a real thing happening all over the place right now.

00:54:04.000 I speak to kids and my kids' friends and their friends from other schools. 0.96

00:54:09.000 The furries thing is real, and we're going to go and accommodate someone who thinks they're a Fuckin' animal right now in a classroom and we gotta put a litter box in there to make sure, rather than like, no, no, no, let's accommodate the vast majority, not make everyone else accommodate the sort of whims of someone else who, again, a couple years ago would have been diagnosed as, you know, insane. 0.79

00:54:32.000 Well, I think on the consequences issue, I mean, you're going to have states that are going to vote to make this illegal before 18, right? 0.94

00:54:38.000 And there will be consequences there.

00:54:39.000 And then, of course, the left is going to, you know, come to protest and death ends and all that stuff.

00:54:45.000 But in other states, you know, You're not going to be able to do that, right?

00:54:48.000 In California, Washington, Oregon, wherever.

00:54:51.000 But you are seeing some lawsuits now, like Chloe Cole has brought a lawsuit against the medical providers.

00:54:55.000 She's a detransitioner. 1.00

00:54:57.000 You're going to start to see that.

00:54:59.000 And hopefully, I mean, again, it depends on the judiciary.

00:55:01.000 You're going to get some woke judge that denies it.

00:55:04.000 But that's why getting good judges that adhere to the rule of law is so important.

00:55:08.000 Because this is probably, I mean, if I'm a plaintiff's lawyer in 10, 20 years, Oh yeah.

00:55:13.000 I mean, you're looking at class action lawsuits.

00:55:15.000 I mean, these people are going to find themselves, you know, unfortunately it's not going to necessarily happen all at once right now, but I think down the road, this is going to be major litigation.

00:55:24.000 This is going to be like tobacco litigation type stuff.

00:55:26.000 You know, and I hope so.

00:55:28.000 I mean, I think they should be in jail.

00:55:30.000 But if that's not going to happen, there should at least be, you know, they should lose their medical license.

00:55:35.000 There should be financial consequences.

00:55:36.000 They should be paid, you know, their insurance premiums should go through the roof.

00:55:39.000 Because, I mean, I think, I don't know how to consider it, like, not malpractice at this point.

00:55:44.000 But, you know, talk about, you know, in sort of getting into the legal work, talk about the details of what's written into these policies and how sort of subversive it is.

00:55:54.000 Because, I mean, there's so much sort of sneaky stuff.

00:55:57.000 And, again, when you have the full weight of media and big tech sort of boosting you and, you know, the height, the bad, and sort of, you know, push the fake good out there.

00:56:06.000 You know, talk about some of those things and how those policies are written, just so people understand just how sort of Seated these things are in there.

00:56:13.000 Yeah, and you know really the best example is is what happened in Loudoun County.

00:56:17.000 I mean that is You know really how everything went down.

00:56:21.000 So you had a sexual assault in a bathroom in May of 2021 as a gender-fluid boy in a girl's room at the time They were starting to debate this policy, this policy 80-40, which means you've got to call the kids by their preferred pronouns if you're a teacher or a student.

00:56:36.000 You get to use whichever bathroom of the sex that you identify with. 0.59

00:56:41.000 And then the other one, which wasn't in the policy itself, a regulation, parents don't get to know.

00:56:46.000 Well, what happens, the policy comes up for debate.

00:56:49.000 One teacher goes and speaks up against the pronoun piece.

00:56:52.000 He gets suspended for speaking at a school board meeting.

00:56:55.000 Now, he goes to court. He wins the case.

00:56:57.000 He wins on appeal. But it shows, well, they're really trying to get this policy passed.

00:57:02.000 Then what happened? Then you have a superintendent, when they're talking about this policy at a school board meeting, have there been sexual assaults in our bathrooms?

00:57:09.000 I'm not aware of any records of sexual assaults.

00:57:11.000 Well, that was a lie. That was a lie done so that they could pass this policy.

00:57:16.000 So they lied about this sexual assault.

00:57:18.000 They didn't do a Title IX investigation.

00:57:20.000 They moved the kid quietly to another school where, guess what?

00:57:23.000 He sexually assaulted someone else.

00:57:25.000 I'm shocked. Then the story comes out. 0.94

00:57:27.000 I'm shocked. It seems like such a reasonable...

00:57:28.000 Right. And people on the left would say, wow, they're lying.

00:57:32.000 This didn't happen because of the policy.

00:57:34.000 No, it's actually much worse.

00:57:36.000 They covered up a sexual assault to pass a policy on transgender super rights. 0.69

00:57:43.000 That is what they will do.

00:57:44.000 And they're going to gaslight and gaslight.

00:57:46.000 And a lot of the things with don't tell parents, they don't actually put that into the policy.

00:57:51.000 What they do, the schools, they'll put that into the regulation.

00:57:54.000 So it doesn't actually get debated, it gets put in through the administration who puts it in as a regulation.

00:58:00.000 So then they have full autonomy.

00:58:01.000 Full autonomy. So what can, because I think this is important, what can parents be looking for?

00:58:09.000 I think we can do a lot.

00:58:14.000 I think you can do well. I don't think this is a 50-50, you know, partisan debate with parents.

00:58:23.000 It's clearly where the Democrat Party has gone, but I don't think that Democrat voters...

00:58:28.000 For the most part, believe in this stuff.

00:58:30.000 I refuse to believe that.

00:58:32.000 And I imagine if they knew, they too would be a little bit more vocal about it.

00:58:37.000 But what are the signs that parents can look for that this stuff's going on?

00:58:41.000 How do they figure it out?

00:58:42.000 How do they get involved?

00:58:43.000 How do they spread that word?

00:58:45.000 Because again, if they're hiding it that way, they're going to such great lengths to make sure that it happens, but to make sure that you don't know that it's happening.

00:58:53.000 There's got to be a way to figure it out.

00:58:54.000 Yeah, so you really have to look and ask, is your school partaking in the school-to-scalpel pipeline?

00:58:59.000 And it's very nefarious how it all works.

00:59:02.000 They will start putting books.

00:59:03.000 There's one book, It Feels Good to Be Yourself.

00:59:05.000 It's geared towards first graders to third graders.

00:59:08.000 And this book, you pick it up, you're like, oh, it looks like a little storybook, animation, etc.

00:59:13.000 It's got a five-year-old saying, well, I told my parents when I was three that my doctor guessed wrong when I was born, and I'm a boy now.

00:59:21.000 And they've got those in the library.

00:59:22.000 So they're conditioning the kids early for this, right?

00:59:26.000 And then you get into the later grades, and what are their policies?

00:59:29.000 Do they have this bathroom policy? 0.98

00:59:31.000 If they've got a bathroom policy, that's number one. 1.00

00:59:33.000 If they have this pronoun policy, you've got to refer to kids by their pronouns.

00:59:36.000 If they have the sports policy, you get to participate in any sport you want based on the The sex you identify with.

00:59:44.000 And then the parental preclusion policies.

00:59:46.000 If you have those books in the library that they're pushing on kids, and then you have these policies, what's gonna happen?

00:59:52.000 When your kid gets to be 11, 12, 13, and they look around and they're getting into puberty, adolescence, Maybe dealing with some issues and they say, oh, I get to be part of this cool social crew that seems to really have the run of show here.

01:00:06.000 I mean, we get to do whatever we want.

01:00:08.000 We're the preferred class right now.

01:00:09.000 If your school has all of those things, well, then that school is a problem.

01:00:14.000 And I mean, what do you have to do?

01:00:15.000 Two things. Freedom of Information Act is invaluable.

01:00:19.000 Get those documents. Anyone can just do that.

01:00:21.000 It's not that complicated. Now, schools will, they have started to figure out ways to game the system, right?

01:00:27.000 They'll charge you exorbitant amounts, right?

01:00:29.000 One person in our district, FOIA, sexual assaults and rape in emails for over like a three-month period.

01:00:35.000 You'd think there wouldn't be that many, but they want to charge you $37,000.

01:00:39.000 So they will start to game the system.

01:00:41.000 But PPRA, Protection of People Rights Amendment, is something where you can go in, you can inspect the curriculum.

01:00:47.000 They have to let you do it.

01:00:48.000 They can't charge you for it.

01:00:49.000 It's not like FOIA. These are the kind of things that you need to do.

01:00:53.000 And you need to talk to other parents and teachers.

01:00:55.000 Everyone says, well, they don't like teachers.

01:00:57.000 Actually, teachers are some of the best sources that we have.

01:01:00.000 They don't want to come out and publicly say these things.

01:01:03.000 They'll be fine. Yeah, the left goes crazy when we use the term groomers.

01:01:24.000 But when you actually look at some of what they're doing, what other conclusion is there?

01:01:28.000 Right? They've created that outlet for a kid who's confused.

01:01:31.000 I probably don't know a teenager who hasn't been a little, you know, screwed up or going through something. 0.97

01:01:36.000 I mean, you just have to be, by nature, the level of hormones that are going through your body naturally, let alone once you start jacking them up with all the other, you know, bullshit they're throwing into them. 0.98

01:01:44.000 But, I mean, that seems to be what it is, right? 0.98

01:01:46.000 I mean, you take a confused child, this is what you are.

01:01:49.000 It's got to be this. This is the solution for every troubled child, it feels like, that's out there.

01:01:54.000 Yeah, it's a rubber stamp.

01:01:56.000 And when did schools take that responsibility, right?

01:01:59.000 So, you know, Terry McAuliffe famously said, oh, I don't think parents should be telling schools what to teach.

01:02:04.000 Well, yeah, look, I'm not going to go micromanage how you teach calculus at all.

01:02:08.000 I'm going to assume you know how to do that.

01:02:10.000 I want you teaching them calculus or trigonometry or 19th century British literature.

01:02:15.000 All you. But what I don't want you teaching is things that are traditionally...

01:02:19.000 Topics that I want to talk to my kids about, if I want to talk to them at all, right?

01:02:22.000 I mean, some of these things, how are we even having these conversations?

01:02:25.000 But it's flipped, so that schools spend more time talking about, you know, transgender issues, or you're an oppressor, and then the academics are slipping, so that parents now have to take the time at home, whether it's through tutoring, whether it's through one-on-one work, to catch them up academically because they're not getting as much of that at school anymore.

01:02:43.000 It's all social and cultural.

01:02:46.000 So, I mean, so you wrote the book, you know, on how to fight sort of the leftism in schools.

01:02:51.000 A, tell people where they can find it, because I think it's important.

01:02:53.000 You know, and how does, how has this evolved, this issue, where you see sort of the newest thing is now the trans thing?

01:03:01.000 Like, a couple years ago it was critical race theory, and that sort of faded out once people realized what it actually was.

01:03:06.000 You know, sort of essentially state-sponsored racism, only one-directionally.

01:03:10.000 You know, talk about that a little bit, because the thing never seems to change.

01:03:14.000 What's the next thing? Yeah, so Parents of the World Unite, you can get it on Amazon, you get it at Barnes& Noble, Target, Books A Million, any retailer.

01:03:21.000 But that's actually probably the overarching theme of the book is that you need to be flexible in how you're dealing with things.

01:03:28.000 I mean, at first, you know, a lot of our movement was started with this cancel culture issue, right, where you had all these school board members and administrators and activists create this list of parents they wanted to target.

01:03:38.000 And, you know, we didn't take too kindly to that, so we decided, well, we're going to remove those school board members.

01:03:43.000 Then it became, oh, you know, critical race theory, right?

01:03:46.000 The school's saying, we don't teach critical race theory.

01:03:48.000 Well, we know you don't.

01:03:49.000 Oh, here's an email from your last superintendent that said, yes, you actually do use critical race theory.

01:03:54.000 And then, you know, they start to lose on that, or we win on that, and we move on to the next thing, which is now you're attacking teachers for exercising their First Amendment rights.

01:04:03.000 Speaking out about these trans issues.

01:04:05.000 We never actually talked about the trans issues, but then it became about the trans issues, and now that's what they're pushing.

01:04:12.000 The overarching issue is that schools are implementing a political agenda.

01:04:18.000 They're trying to get, whether it's future voters or whatever their motivation is, you can't necessarily lock onto one issue and fight it.

01:04:26.000 You need to go almost where they go and just attack hard.

01:04:31.000 And, you know, they're bureaucracies, right?

01:04:33.000 So they're cumbersome. And, you know, they're not used to dealing with sort of almost like guerrilla-style attacks from parents who are out on the news, out on the radio, writing op-eds, doing FOIAs, communicating with each other, showing up at school board meetings.

01:04:46.000 And they really don't have any way to fight it other than saying, you're a racist, you're a transphobe, you're a right supremacist, you're alt-right, like, you know, whatever.

01:04:54.000 They're going to throw those terms around. At this point, the problem with that is that, like, When people get called a racist, it's like, eh, it's Tuesday.

01:05:01.000 You know what I mean? And that's a shame because I do believe there's actual real racism left in the world.

01:05:06.000 It's just not the cause of and solution for all of life's problems, right?

01:05:09.000 It's like an incredibly tiny minority of bad people, and yet, you know, according to them, it's everything, right?

01:05:16.000 I mean, literally every problem in the world could be solved by, you know, or caused by white supremacy and or climate change.

01:05:23.000 And it's just the two things they have.

01:05:26.000 Yeah, and that's, you know, what we saw early on is they changed the definitions, right?

01:05:30.000 It's like, racist means you believe that somebody, based on the color of their skin, is inferior, right?

01:05:37.000 And if you're not that person, well, then guess what?

01:05:39.000 You're not racist. But if you don't like the policy or you don't like a teacher training that says, if you're Christian, you're an oppressor.

01:05:45.000 If you're not Christian, you're oppressed.

01:05:47.000 If you are a light-skinned member of a minority, you're an oppressor over the dark-skinned member of the same minority. 0.98

01:05:54.000 Like, And you don't like that, then you're racist.

01:05:57.000 You're like, no, look, I just have an issue with how you're teaching that.

01:06:00.000 Can we have that discussion? No, no, no, we're going to shut you down.

01:06:02.000 We're not going to debate you. We're afraid to debate you, but we're going to say we're not going to debate you because you're a racist. 0.99

01:06:06.000 Like, they've changed the definition. 0.63

01:06:08.000 We're not going to give a racist a platform.

01:06:10.000 Exactly. That's all they ever do.

01:06:12.000 They will not debate.

01:06:14.000 So how involved is, you know, obviously a lot of these things are state issues, which is what makes it great for parents because they can actually get involved in their states and the school board stuff, like, you can actually impart pretty big changes in your districts, but how much and how involved is sort of the Democrat slash Joe Biden administration, their school board, you know, the education department nationally, you know, involved in this process?

01:06:39.000 Well, I mean, I think Exhibit A would be the National School Board Association memo and how they all cook that up to say, oh, domestic terrorism!

01:06:47.000 Let's investigate parents for, you know, violence that isn't really happening, which is, if it were, right, you know, that's appalling, but that's a local issue.

01:06:56.000 A local issue for your county sheriff or your police department.

01:06:59.000 Yeah, not the DOJ. Right. Or the FBI. And it wasn't really happening anyway, but they just, you know.

01:07:04.000 We're going to use the domestic terrorism portion of the Patriot Act to Unlock federal jurisdiction here.

01:07:10.000 And why did they do it? Well, we later found out and the House Oversight found out that it was a help Terry McAuliffe.

01:07:15.000 Well, it didn't. It hurt him.

01:07:17.000 But when you're looking at the Education Department and the problem with the Education Department is when you build a center of power, where do you think people are going to go to influence to the Department of Education?

01:07:26.000 And when they have to follow rules, when school districts have to follow rules to unlock federal money, I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, sure, whatever you want.

01:07:33.000 Yeah, we'll do it. So that's how they implement a lot of these changes through the Department of Education.

01:07:38.000 It's all, you know, it's a quid pro quo.

01:07:41.000 You want the money? You've got to do what we say.

01:07:43.000 All right, well, I mean, you were a top spokesman at the DOJ. You've seen, you know how it works.

01:07:49.000 What sort of, like, long-lasting damage is sort of the weaponization of those departments?

01:07:55.000 I mean, the Department of Justice literally going after...

01:08:00.000 Concerned mothers. Just being like, hey, I don't want you jamming this woke crap down our kids' throats. 1.00

01:08:04.000 I mean, for that person to be labeled a domestic terrorist, but not like, you know, it was the car that drove through the Christmas parade in Wisconsin. 0.99

01:08:11.000 Not a black supremacist, because you can't say that, because if that's a minority, they can't possibly be racist.

01:08:17.000 But, I mean, there has to be long-lasting damage to weaponizing these systems this way

01:08:23.000 because, like, you know, I don't know that I could have any faith in anything that they

01:08:27.000 tell me being even remotely accurate at this point, and I imagine others are starting to

01:08:30.000 feel the same way.

01:08:31.000 Well, and that's the big problem, right, is if you don't have faith in your institutions,

01:08:35.000 especially like the Department of Justice, which is supposed to be impartial, which is

01:08:39.000 supposed to enforce the law, which is supposed to be blind, right, justice is supposed to

01:08:42.000 be blind, but we're not seeing that.

01:08:45.000 So when you decrease faith in institutions, then, you know, you start to see the downfall

01:08:53.000 And I mean, it goes throughout history, right?

01:08:55.000 Where when you start to see these institutions really just favor one side, I mean, we're supposed to be a nation of laws, not a nation of men and women, right?

01:09:04.000 Right now, we're not a nation of laws.

01:09:06.000 We're a nation of, well, who's on my political side or not?

01:09:09.000 We're just going to ignore what the law says, and we're going to pick and choose what we do politically because we want to help Terry McAuliffe win the governorship or help Joe Biden.

01:09:19.000 That has consequences long-term, which could be an existential threat to the foundation of our country.

01:09:26.000 Yeah, I mean, we saw that with the 51 people who signed off on the Hunter Biden Russian disinformation laptop.

01:09:33.000 It's like... Oh, we didn't have any.

01:09:35.000 I've heard a couple people say, well, we didn't have anything, but we just wanted to help Joe Biden win.

01:09:39.000 It's like, wait, why do they still have classified credentials?

01:09:43.000 Why do they still have that kind of access?

01:09:45.000 I mean, they're literally lying to the American people for political purposes, and yet that seems to be happening day in and day out.

01:09:51.000 Yeah, and you look at the media, and you go back 50, 60 years, the same media that's breaking the Pentagon Papers, that's exposing government abuse, right?

01:10:00.000 Which there has been for a while.

01:10:01.000 now it's like that now we're good we're going to get you can't talk like

01:10:05.000 we'll we we may be waging a war with the world's largest nuclear superpower in

01:10:09.000 the in the ukraine and we have troops on the ground there That's discovered. The real issue is that it leaked.

01:10:17.000 Not that we're doing it. What happened to these institutions?

01:10:23.000 You can say what you want about Jack Teixeira, but I remember when Alexander Vindemann was a hero.

01:10:29.000 For leaking that. And the difference is, like, Jack Teixeira may have, and again, I'm not for leaking documents that could put our troops in danger or, like, you know, critical personnel if we have undercover operatives in there, but, like, I'm also not in favor of, like, lying to the American public funding an unsanctioned war.

01:10:46.000 Like, he could have diverted World War III as opposed to, like, Alexander Vindemann, who seemed like was almost doing the opposite and pushing us towards it.

01:10:55.000 Well, I mean, the media used to be what, like the fourth estate, right?

01:10:57.000 Where it was an extra check and balance on the other three branches, on the three branches of government, right?

01:11:03.000 Now it's, no, no, no, we're an agent.

01:11:06.000 We're an agent for, depending on who's in there, we're going to be an agent for you to really push out or to report things the way that are helpful to you.

01:11:14.000 I mean, that is not traditionally how our media has operated, you know, and look, there's a lot that goes into that, right?

01:11:20.000 Social media, 24-hour, you know, news networks, the internet, things have changed.

01:11:25.000 Oh, yeah, no, it's very different. But it's so concerning that you cannot have a media that just is there to hold the government accountable.

01:11:33.000 Yeah, no, I mean, I see that.

01:11:34.000 Even the sources I like, it's like, you sort of, you read the headline, and it's like, oh, man, that's terrible.

01:11:40.000 You clickbait, and then you read the article, and you're like, oh, that was nothing.

01:11:45.000 It's amazing how that happens.

01:11:47.000 I mean, I think it's also probably negative on both sides, sort of creating the perpetual outrage cycle.

01:11:52.000 Which seemingly prevents people from functioning rationally at this point.

01:11:56.000 Right. I mean, you can look back.

01:11:59.000 I'm really post-World War II, right?

01:12:01.000 I mean, even before that, the rise of the administrative state has created sort of perverse incentives now for the media to where they're going to get their information from, right?

01:12:11.000 Well, they don't want to burn their sources, especially if their sources are, you know, we know that they lean left.

01:12:17.000 And if it's an administration that they That they favor now.

01:12:20.000 They're going to report in a friendly way.

01:12:22.000 And we're losing a lot of, I think, the good reporting that we had 50, 60 years ago that allowed us to really know what was going on in somewhat of an unbiased way.

01:12:33.000 And now it's, I don't know, what are you going to get in?

01:12:36.000 Because orange man bad.

01:12:37.000 Well, the real problem now is talking about burning the sources.

01:12:41.000 The sources are literally just like...

01:12:43.000 Paid lobbyists of the military industrial complex.

01:12:46.000 It's not a real source.

01:12:47.000 It's a real person, perhaps with real power, but they're just like, okay, this is what we're looking to do, and so here's the leak.

01:12:54.000 I've seen that. My eyes have been open to it just because of what we went through for the last six years.

01:12:58.000 I was working for Russian government, and I did 50 hours of testimony for treason in front of Congress, and it's like, wait, what?

01:13:06.000 Well, there didn't have to be any truth.

01:13:08.000 They just hope that if they get you in there for 50 hours of testimony, If you put a comma in the wrong spot, we got you for perjury.

01:13:15.000 Not that you actually did anything wrong, but if we ask you just in questions for hours on end, maybe you make a mistake and say, oh, now you allow it to the government and you're in trouble.

01:13:24.000 Yeah, and I mean, we saw it with the DOJ memo on parents, right?

01:13:28.000 I mean, one of the key citations in the NSBA memo was, oh, this angry dad that gets arrested at a Loudoun County School Board meeting, right?

01:13:36.000 And he was, you know, the face of Domestic terrorism.

01:13:39.000 It's like, oh well, it turned out his daughter was sexually assaulted in a bathroom. 0.97

01:13:43.000 Yeah, I'd be pissed too. 0.51

01:13:45.000 And I'd be really pissed when they're covering it up. 0.98

01:13:47.000 And if you're a parent and you're not, You're subhuman.

01:13:53.000 There's no other way to do it.

01:13:56.000 They did that when they were messing with Kavanaugh.

01:14:01.000 He's defending himself from being called a gang rapist.

01:14:06.000 He's on the Circuit of the Court of Appeals.

01:14:07.000 He's a fixture in legal institutions.

01:14:10.000 Never had an issue.

01:14:12.000 And then he's up for the Supreme Court and Trump appoints him. 1.00

01:14:15.000 Gang rapist. And, like, the media attack on him was, he was really heated in his response to someone accusing him of gang rapist. 0.98

01:14:22.000 He must have done it. I'm like, wait, wait, wait.

01:14:25.000 Like, is anyone not gonna ever be, like, heated if accused of something they clearly didn't do?

01:14:31.000 And then it turns out, well, you know, the witness is lying, the other one can't remember anything, and magically it all sort of goes away.

01:14:37.000 And, again, there's no consequence or accountability.

01:14:39.000 Well, and, you know, the left goes from, like, zero to 100 right away, right?

01:14:44.000 I mean, and I talked earlier about, well, they went from Trump derangement to just any derangement.

01:14:49.000 And, you know, you hear it now, like, well, they want to ban books.

01:14:52.000 Like, what are you talking about?

01:14:53.000 Look, if you want a book for five-year-olds about how, you know, a doctor guessed their sex when they were born and he was wrong, you can totally sell that on Amazon.

01:15:03.000 You can put it in your county library.

01:15:05.000 But, like, look, if we got to pay for it and it's going to be in a school, I mean, Anarchist cookbook, right?

01:15:12.000 I mean, bomb building and all that.

01:15:14.000 Should that be in schools? Have we banned that book?

01:15:16.000 Is that bad, to ban that book?

01:15:18.000 Where's the line here?

01:15:19.000 Yeah, you don't see penthouse in school libraries either.

01:15:22.000 I'm sure there's plenty of young teenage boys that would probably be thrilled to find one of those every once in a while.

01:15:27.000 I'm not saying I condone it, but that's the reality.

01:15:29.000 And yet, that's not there. But if you want to learn about mutilating your body, we'll make sure you have plenty of sources.

01:15:35.000 And again, like you said earlier, there'll be 17 copies of that book to make sure that everyone has a chance to read it, but not actual literature.

01:15:42.000 I mean, you pay taxes.

01:15:44.000 You pay for the school. You pay for the school libraries.

01:15:47.000 And the minute you have an issue with something there...

01:15:51.000 You're a book banner, right?

01:15:52.000 And I keep seeing these headlines from news sources like the book banner is lost.

01:15:57.000 Like nobody is trying to ban.

01:15:59.000 Maybe some people are trying to ban books.

01:16:00.000 I don't know. But like the vast majority of parents that are going to school board meetings reading from these books, it's just to expose like, hey, community, do you think this is appropriate to pay for and put in your school library or your classroom library?

01:16:12.000 That's it. Well, I know it's a somewhat related story, but I had a friend when I published my first book, Triggered, going after some of these things.

01:16:22.000 They went to their local library.

01:16:24.000 It was a New York Times number one bestseller.

01:16:26.000 And they went to their local library and said, hey, I'd like to get a copy of Donald Trump Jr.'s book, Triggered.

01:16:31.000 And the librarian went nuts on them.

01:16:34.000 We don't have that. Wait, wait.

01:16:35.000 Are they banning books? Like, I mean, that's clearly a leftist.

01:16:38.000 I'm sure they have no problem with the trans books, but like, I don't know, it was a New York Times number one bestseller.

01:16:42.000 I don't think it could be that inflammatory.

01:16:44.000 You know, they can call me all the names they want, but like, that book they wouldn't even consider having in, you know, that wasn't a school library, that was just a public library, but they wouldn't even have that there.

01:16:54.000 And yet, a school library can have stuff that's clearly, you know, has much more of an agenda associated with it.

01:17:00.000 Yeah, I mean, look, there's a lot of different things they could do.

01:17:03.000 Remember Blockbuster? You go in, and you get your movies, and you're like, well, you're not supposed to go there if you're under 18.

01:17:08.000 You sneak in, whatever.

01:17:10.000 But you can do different things, right?

01:17:12.000 I mean, there's different policy options that you can have.

01:17:15.000 But the minute you bring that up, you are immediately labeled a bad guy in your community.

01:17:21.000 And that's what makes it so tough.

01:17:22.000 I've talked to a lot of people that have gone through some issues with their kids and their schools haven't told them and they're really concerned.

01:17:29.000 And it's always sort of, I'd say a lot of left of center parents that want to be kind.

01:17:36.000 They're trying so hard. Exactly.

01:17:38.000 And then they find out it happens to them, and they don't know what to do, and they're scared, right?

01:17:42.000 Now, the people that are more conservative, well, they've been talking to their kids about this for a while, right?

01:17:47.000 And they're like, hey, they may bring this up in class.

01:17:49.000 If they do, they get ahead of it.

01:17:51.000 And so their kids end up being more balanced on these issues.

01:17:55.000 But it's the ones that assume everything is just done for kindness and compassion that end up in the problem spots.

01:18:01.000 Yeah, it feels like it has nothing to do with that.

01:18:02.000 I look at it in Hollywood just being such a...

01:18:06.000 Cesspool of some of this stuff.

01:18:07.000 It feels like it's the latest accessory. 0.85

01:18:10.000 It's like, you're not cool if you don't have a trans kid.

01:18:14.000 It's like a status symbol at this point.

01:18:15.000 It's like a Bugatti.

01:18:17.000 You know what I mean? It's like, oh, you've got to have the trans kid. 1.00

01:18:20.000 You see a couple people like, we don't have this problem in the hood.

01:18:27.000 You don't have this problem in third world nations where they're like,

01:18:31.000 you know, in China there's probably not a big, you know, bloom of trans kids,

01:18:35.000 because they're actually focused on learning math.

01:18:37.000 Right, or finding their next meal.

01:18:38.000 How do, yeah, or something perhaps even more critical, right?

01:18:42.000 And yet it happens, and it happens in these bastions of wokeness, and again, around some of the most privileged people in the

01:18:48.000 world, and I understand and I'll disclaim that I'm coming from

01:18:52.000 this as the son of a billionaire.

01:18:54.000 Like, I get it, but like, I would say that, you know, if I was applying to schools right now,

01:18:59.000 or my children were applying to college right now, like, same things.

01:19:05.000 I think their last name would make it very difficult for them,

01:19:08.000 whereas if they checked the box that was trans or...

01:19:10.000 or their friend with the exact same boards, exact same grades, exact same sports, check that box, it's like, it's not even a question.

01:19:17.000 In. Well, you know, it's interesting, too, because in Europe, and we usually assume Europe is more left to us, right?

01:19:23.000 Yeah. Well, Europe's going the opposite direction now.

01:19:26.000 You know, their medical standards are saying, wait a minute, let's not just rubber stamp this.

01:19:30.000 Kid comes and says they, you know, they present as gender dysphoric.

01:19:35.000 We're not just going to say, all right, well, we're going to get you on a regiment of puberty blockers, and then we're going to get here.

01:19:40.000 Like, no, no, first let's do some psychotherapy.

01:19:41.000 You're scheduled to operate on Tuesday.

01:19:42.000 Like, you know, you're fine. Yeah.

01:19:44.000 Meanwhile, you've got Levine at HHS saying, oh, well, the Biden administration is fully supportive, and we need to step up our program here.

01:19:53.000 I mean, it's crazy when you see America going further to the left than Scandinavian countries in Europe.

01:20:00.000 Yeah, I mean, like, literally, you know, the socialists, you know, we talk, oh, we're a democracy.

01:20:04.000 Are we really? You know what I mean?

01:20:06.000 Like, the socialists in Europe, they look at us and they look at the voting.

01:20:10.000 Like, what do you mean? Like, you don't have paper ballots?

01:20:12.000 You don't have same-day voting? You don't need ID? They look at us like we're lunatics.

01:20:17.000 And these are, like... Basically socialist countries in many respects of the word.

01:20:22.000 And we're like, of course not.

01:20:24.000 There can be no this.

01:20:26.000 I mean, we're actually, and I think Trump sort of brought this out, we were probably heading that way a long time ago, but we are much further than we ever would have imagined.

01:20:35.000 And it's probably been that way much longer than we ever imagined.

01:20:38.000 It's just now they've gone so far.

01:20:40.000 Whether they're winning and they're just sort of trying to put the final blows into America as we know it, Or not, I don't know.

01:20:46.000 But it is crazy to see some of these places that are looked at as, you know, very left.

01:20:52.000 And they're looking at us like we're lunatics.

01:20:54.000 Well, yeah. And, you know, you brought up sort of what inspires some of these people to go along with these things, right?

01:21:01.000 And I remember a conversation I had in summer of 2020 with a really good friend of mine who's on the total other side of the political spectrum.

01:21:08.000 And she said, well, you know, I feel like this is the next civil rights movement.

01:21:12.000 I'm like, hmm, I don't think it's going to be.

01:21:14.000 But that's really, I think, the...

01:21:16.000 Well, Biden said that when he was running.

01:21:18.000 This is the civil rights movement of our time.

01:21:19.000 I'm like, I don't know, man. Like, I don't know.

01:21:23.000 I think that's an insult to the actual civil rights movement.

01:21:26.000 By the way, where are those people?

01:21:29.000 Because it is. How come the people who led those movements, the ones that are still around or their offspring, where are they?

01:21:35.000 They'd be like, hey guys, this ain't the same.

01:21:39.000 You know, everything's Jim Crow, but like, is it really, though?

01:21:42.000 Well, yeah, that's the thing.

01:21:43.000 I don't know. Jim Crow, you know, the people that were affected by that kind of stuff, you know, they weren't getting Nike sponsorship deals, you know, out the wazoo for being these things.

01:21:54.000 It's a little different. And everything goes to that level, right?

01:21:58.000 Anytime there's...

01:21:59.000 When we did our cases to try and legally remove school board members pursuant to the Virginia Code, this is Jim Crow 2.0. 0.80

01:22:09.000 Like, what? How is it Jim Crow...

01:22:11.000 First of all, the school board member, she's white, and I don't understand. 0.98

01:22:16.000 But you see that, right? You saw that with Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:22:18.000 He's a racist. What, you shot three white dudes that came after him? 0.98

01:22:22.000 I mean, and real people, you know, and Bill Ackman, I don't know if you remember, like, when he, you know, he was a big investor in New York, and he did this whole thing, he was, like, a super big lib, huge donor to the Democrat Party, and at the time, I had Kyle on the show a couple of weeks ago, you know, at the time, like, Bill Ackman came out and was like, wait a minute, like, I'm watching the trial, and it's like, how is it that I'm not aware...

01:22:40.000 I've been told he was a white supremacist, but the people he shot were white.

01:22:43.000 I assumed he was shooting people of color. 0.74

01:22:48.000 Minor details. So he went on with this long Twitter thread.

01:22:50.000 The New York Times called him while he was posting this stuff.

01:22:53.000 He was like, did someone hack your account?

01:22:55.000 He goes, what do you mean? Like, a serious guy, a billionaire investor, was just like, no, I objectively had no idea these things.

01:23:03.000 I was making decisions I'm watching with my wife, and now I'm realizing just how manipulated I've been.

01:23:08.000 And he goes on to basically say, it's interesting because I've been, you know, I'm involved in most of the major deals in New York and I'm watching the Wall Street Journal and the things they say about what's happening in the deal.

01:23:21.000 And I read the article and I laugh at how clueless they are because I'm involved or I know the people involved.

01:23:27.000 I know what's actually happening.

01:23:29.000 But then I turn the page and I assume that they're right.

01:23:31.000 As opposed to saying, I should assume they're just as out of touch as they were in the stuff that I'm a subject matter expert on.

01:23:39.000 Well, it's funny because when, you know, I'm from New England, right?

01:23:43.000 So huge New England Patriots fan.

01:23:45.000 Deflategate happens.

01:23:47.000 And all my friends from New England and my parents and all the people that are there, the media is so full of it.

01:23:53.000 This isn't what happened. This is what the source documents said.

01:23:55.000 Like, they knew everything about it and they knew how it was being spun.

01:23:59.000 And they're like, this is malpractice, what's going on in the media.

01:24:01.000 This is horrible, right? But...

01:24:03.000 We get something where they don't have that personal investment in or they don't have that, you know, day-to-day knowledge.

01:24:09.000 They're like, I just assume that's correct.

01:24:11.000 Like, no, no, you need to look beyond that.

01:24:14.000 One, look at the source documents, right?

01:24:16.000 And come to your own conclusions.

01:24:17.000 The media, no matter where you land on the media spectrum, they're going to present it a certain way.

01:24:22.000 And then you're going to have to actually read the stuff and say, maybe, yeah, they may have pushed this a little too hard.

01:24:27.000 But most people, they're just watching their echo chamber and that's it.

01:24:31.000 But they'll still go after you.

01:24:33.000 I started a thing with a friend, MXM News.

01:24:35.000 It's literally an app that aggregates everything.

01:24:37.000 And you can just see what's going on.

01:24:39.000 You can read the New York Times version, and you can read the Breitbart version.

01:24:42.000 And again, make up your own mind.

01:24:46.000 PNC Bank, we're not doing business with you.

01:24:49.000 We're not making news.

01:24:50.000 We're not creating fake news.

01:24:51.000 We're literally just aggregating everything that's out there in the ether and making sure that everyone has an equal chance of seeing it.

01:24:57.000 And when my partner calls me one day, he's like, I think someone hacked our account.

01:24:59.000 Like, we're missing our entire operating account.

01:25:01.000 Like, it's just at zero. Calls the bank.

01:25:03.000 I was like, oh, no, we just don't want to do business with you.

01:25:05.000 We're sending you back your money. Like, well, do we do anything?

01:25:07.000 No, it doesn't matter. Like, so it's not even about, like, the news now.

01:25:11.000 It's like, you can't even show both sides of the story, let alone if you're creating it.

01:25:15.000 I mean, creating it's the ultimate sin, right?

01:25:17.000 Even if you're telling the truth, that doesn't matter.

01:25:19.000 You know, when was Wuhan lab leak theory not...

01:25:22.000 The most plausible. I'm like, hey, I'm no doctor, but obviously it came from Wuhan.

01:25:30.000 Maybe the biggest chance I took in recent time, and sometimes you do something that pisses someone off, and that's fine.

01:25:38.000 But when Jesse Smollett came out, I go, nope. 0.99

01:25:41.000 I'm calling bullshit. And I got killed for about four days until everyone else realized that, yeah, it is kind of odd. 0.95

01:25:48.000 Like, a millionaire actor is walking against Subway at 2 o'clock in the morning on the coldest night of the year.

01:25:53.000 And, like, what are the odds that, like, white supremacists wearing MAGA hats would live for more than three or four seconds in downtown Chicago?

01:26:00.000 You know, in, like...

01:26:02.000 Of course it didn't happen.

01:26:04.000 Of course that didn't happen.

01:26:05.000 But it didn't matter. It was so good.

01:26:07.000 The crocodile too. I was like, man, he may be a good actor, but he's not a good writer because there's no way that happened in the real world.

01:26:14.000 But it was a risk to go out there.

01:26:17.000 Because if I was wrong, and even if I say, hey, if it actually happened, they should be punished in the full extent of the law, but like...

01:26:24.000 It didn't matter. Well, the Wu-Han, I mean, that's perfect, right? 0.99

01:26:28.000 Like, I don't know if you ever saw the Jon Stewart clip.

01:26:30.000 And look, sometimes Jon Stewart's good, sometimes he's horrible.

01:26:33.000 On that one, it was like, yeah, I mean, that's kind of what I thought.

01:26:36.000 Like, yeah, it's probably leap from...

01:26:37.000 But it's like, no, it's the bats and it's the pangolins.

01:26:40.000 And, you know, again, I got in an argument with a friend, and she's like, oh, no, there's a really good story in Scientific American about the bats and the caves.

01:26:49.000 I'm like, yeah, also, it could have just leaked from a lab.

01:26:52.000 Because there's a coronavirus lab there.

01:26:53.000 Yeah, because the lab is four feet away from where they said the league originated.

01:26:56.000 Like, I don't know. But again, that's the point.

01:26:59.000 They go, well, I read it in a Scientific American, so I'm just parodying.

01:27:02.000 I used to subscribe to The Atlantic until I realized.

01:27:05.000 I'm like, it's just a leftist.

01:27:08.000 It's just not the same, right?

01:27:09.000 15 years ago, it was like, wow, you could actually maybe read something and learn something.

01:27:12.000 Today, people have just picked sides.

01:27:16.000 And I guess you see that in, obviously, a school thing so important.

01:27:21.000 What do we do about the teachers' unions?

01:27:23.000 Because that to me feels like, you know, that's where it stems.

01:27:26.000 They have all the power, right?

01:27:28.000 We're underperforming in every aspect of education.

01:27:31.000 We spend more per capita than any nation in the world.

01:27:33.000 I think we're like 28th or 29th in the world.

01:27:37.000 And yet, you know, the teachers' union, and I think they exposed themselves a little bit during COVID, right?

01:27:41.000 We don't want to work. Okay, fine.

01:27:44.000 Well, we don't want to do remote learning either.

01:27:46.000 Okay, fine. Well, we want to get paid, like, as though we're working full-time, but if I said, wait, wait, wait, you don't want to, but you don't actually want to work, you just want to get paid.

01:27:55.000 And they're manipulating every aspect of the decision-making process.

01:27:59.000 Any Democrat in power needs their money, so they're just going along blindly, and it seems to have nothing to do with science or education or anything other than the whims of the union.

01:28:08.000 Well, I mean, I think you have to treat it like a monopoly, because it is a monopoly, right?

01:28:12.000 I mean, it's a business, and they're in the business of running our nation's public schools.

01:28:17.000 Now, they won't, you know, they won't say that.

01:28:19.000 It's the school board that runs it, but it's the teachers' unions.

01:28:22.000 And it used to be that, you know, your superintendent would get in these tough negotiations with teachers' unions on teacher pay, and then there'd be a strike.

01:28:29.000 And now it's the teachers' unions basically own all their local school districts.

01:28:33.000 Yeah. So you have to break up that monopoly.

01:28:35.000 You have to create competition.

01:28:37.000 And look, I'm not saying that school choice is a panacea that's going to cure everything, but that is one big weapon in breaking up the monopoly.

01:28:43.000 And it's why they fight it so hard, right?

01:28:44.000 Because they know once it's there, it's not coming back.

01:28:47.000 And I understand that, listen, not everyone has the option of homeschooling or, you know, going to a private school or going to a charter school or something, you know, but like...

01:28:59.000 I think anything you can do to get your kids out of that system or watch what they're doing within those systems is absolutely critical to their education.

01:29:08.000 Because otherwise you're going to get back a drone that's just, you know, functioning as, you know...

01:29:14.000 Whatever it is that they decide is the thing at the time, and they come back out brainwashed, incapable of basic things, unprepared for life, and, you know, I don't know what you'd do with that, but it seems like that's the start of a declining civilization.

01:29:28.000 Well, and you listen to, you know, the equity commissars, right?

01:29:31.000 And their talking point is, no kid should be limited by his or her zip code.

01:29:36.000 Like, no kidding! Yeah.

01:29:37.000 Right? No kidding. I don't think anyone disagrees with that.

01:29:40.000 Yeah. So, I mean, go out there and figure out a way so that some single mom who's got her son or daughter in a failing school in their neighborhood has the option of saying, you know what?

01:29:52.000 I'm going to send my son to a different school that's better.

01:29:55.000 Correct. We can't do that. We can't do that.

01:29:57.000 And yet, and that's the other thing, right?

01:29:59.000 It's not like they started failing magically and they're going to fix it.

01:30:03.000 They're doubling down On the failed policies.

01:30:06.000 They're doubling down on the failed systems, right?

01:30:09.000 You know, you look at the schools that are failing, and they're, you know, I think I read, I mean, you know more about it than me, obviously, but, you know, a bunch of these schools, like, where zero, zero kids in a graduating class were proficient at math or reading.

01:30:23.000 I mean, zero. But school keeps getting funded, the teachers keep getting paid, there's always another scapegoat or excuse.

01:30:32.000 Well... In Loudoun County, it just came out last week, so they're cutting special education funding, but they're going to spend $11 million on a new bathroom project.

01:30:44.000 They're thinking, they're considering about getting rid of boys' and girls' rooms and just having one unisex bathroom.

01:30:50.000 One, that's crazy for just the craziness of it.

01:30:53.000 They're trying to erase biological sex. 1.00

01:30:55.000 Two, you've got safety issues.

01:30:57.000 Three, common sense.

01:31:01.000 For women, have you been in a men's room before? 0.99

01:31:03.000 They're disgusting. Now you're putting boys' and girls' rooms. 0.98

01:31:08.000 So is a boy now going to get punished if they don't aim properly, right?

01:31:15.000 I have three young boys, and trust me, it's a problem in my own house.

01:31:19.000 And I'm yelling at them all the time.

01:31:20.000 I'm sure there's others that are not getting any correction on these things.

01:31:23.000 And if you're at school and there's no one there to kind of catch you...

01:31:26.000 You know what the next rule is?

01:31:27.000 They're going to be like, all boys have to sit down to pee.

01:31:30.000 That's going to be their next proposal.

01:31:32.000 It feels like they'd want that. The push always seems towards the effeminate.

01:31:39.000 Let's make sure boys aren't really boys.

01:31:41.000 Testosterone is a four-letter word.

01:31:44.000 It's very negative. And they're doing that daily.

01:31:48.000 There was a crazy one where they're eliminating programs also for the gifted.

01:31:54.000 Meaning, like the kids that are crushing it.

01:31:56.000 The kids that maybe by dumb luck, maybe through genetics, maybe through anything else, just were born intelligent or good at math or something.

01:32:07.000 They're eliminating the programs for the gifted students because it makes...

01:32:13.000 The ones who aren't gifted feel bad.

01:32:17.000 Like, and I don't know how that works, right?

01:32:18.000 Because I would think if you're, psychologically, if you're an underperforming student and someone's in your classroom crushing it, that's probably a lot worse psychologically than them being in their own class doing more advanced stuff and you being more with people of your peers.

01:32:30.000 But that's just common sense.

01:32:32.000 Perhaps I'm mistaken.

01:32:34.000 One of their rationales is you look at the Asian community, the Indian community.

01:32:39.000 They take these tests very seriously.

01:32:42.000 They'll pay extra to have their children go get tutored for these tests, and they end up doing better.

01:32:48.000 There's a cultural component of it.

01:32:49.000 Doing better than white students, doing better than black students, doing better than Hispanic students. 0.98

01:32:52.000 Well, that's not fair, because they're putting more resources in there.

01:32:56.000 So we're going to have to level the playing field.

01:32:58.000 Everything is about leveling the playing field.

01:33:00.000 Now look, I'm not against...

01:33:01.000 It's equal opportunity versus equity, right?

01:33:04.000 Equal opportunity is not laissez-faire.

01:33:06.000 It's not survival of the fittest.

01:33:08.000 It's we need to make sure that everybody has the equal opportunity to succeed.

01:33:12.000 That doesn't mean that everybody will.

01:33:14.000 Correct. But equity is we're just going to get everybody to the same place and take from here to give to there to make sure we get to that median.

01:33:21.000 Yeah, it's not equality of outcome.

01:33:25.000 It's equality of opportunity.

01:33:27.000 Right. You get the chance to do this, but then there are going to be things.

01:33:30.000 I mean, throughout history that's happened.

01:33:32.000 But now we're literally pulling opportunity from those who have the best just natural chance of actually excelling.

01:33:40.000 Like, what does that do to our society in time?

01:33:43.000 Right? I mean, that child's going to lose opportunities.

01:33:46.000 That could be the next Elon Musk. 0.52

01:33:48.000 That could be the next person discovers the cure for cancer.

01:33:50.000 And we're pulling that opportunity away from them and bringing them down to the lowest common denominator as opposed to encouraging the highest.

01:33:58.000 You know, it's funny as I made this comparison.

01:34:00.000 You know, all the woke people in the world, they all watch the Super Bowl, right?

01:34:03.000 And they're all still watching the Super Bowl with their friends.

01:34:05.000 I mean, that is the ultimate meritocracy.

01:34:07.000 Now, what if we changed that and said, you know, we got the draft next weekend.

01:34:10.000 You can only draft...

01:34:12.000 The NFL as a whole organization can only draft 20 players from the SEC, and you need to draft 20 players from small schools.

01:34:21.000 The product's going to suffer, and nobody would do that.

01:34:23.000 They're like, what are you talking about? Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, that's what we're drafting.

01:34:28.000 That's what they're doing, right? They're saying, we're not going to allow you to go after talented individuals or to help talented individuals achieve success because we feel bad for these other players down here.

01:34:42.000 So you've got to pick them, too, so we level the playing field.

01:34:45.000 And then the product is going to suffer.

01:34:46.000 Well, but it seems like Biden's doing that with the proposed sort of Title IX bans where they're trying to literally ban...

01:34:55.000 Preventing, I guess, biological men competing in women's sports, which seems sort of totally the opposite of what Title IX was originally designed to do.

01:35:05.000 Yeah, and, you know, there was a decision here in the 11th Circuit, I think, in late December, comes out the other way and is very clear.

01:35:12.000 Like, look, Title IX was passed in the 70s.

01:35:14.000 Sex means biological sex. 0.89

01:35:16.000 Biden, you don't get to change the law with a rule or a regulation.

01:35:20.000 That needs to be legislated.

01:35:22.000 The idea that we're just going to erase the very protections that Title IX creates for girls' sports, for girls' spaces, the world is upside down.

01:35:34.000 The idea that a male can compete in a girls' sport, especially at young ages.

01:35:41.000 They're very different.

01:35:43.000 A 10-year-old soccer player that's a male versus a 10-year-old soccer player that's a girl, not only is that anti-competitive, but it's also dangerous. 0.76

01:35:52.000 Well, I think it was, what was it, like the men's like 15 and under like soccer team or like the Dallas.

01:36:00.000 I mean, they beat the women's World Cup team.

01:36:02.000 You know, they're fighting for equal pay. 0.99

01:36:03.000 They lost to 15-year-old boys, like decisively.

01:36:07.000 And it's like, but we're still going to pretend that it's the same.

01:36:13.000 I mean, when I was a kid, I played hockey, and we had a female goaltender.

01:36:17.000 And she was great. She was really good.

01:36:19.000 But as it got older, then she moved over to the girls' team, because they started having girls' teams.

01:36:25.000 And because of that, she ended up being an Olympic hockey player.

01:36:28.000 She wasn't going to be an Olympic hockey player for the men's team.

01:36:30.000 Now, at what point do you completely, instead of having one Leah Thomas, you've got three Leah Thomases on the team. 0.99

01:36:39.000 Well, now all of a sudden, you've got three spots that aren't going to girls.

01:36:42.000 So they're gonna be on JV. You saw, you know, the Connecticut, you know, sprinters, you know, like there was some girl that did not place at states, probably cost them scholarship, maybe, maybe if it didn't cost them the entire scholarship, scholarship money, or, you know, in their lives, and, but, but that's equality.

01:37:02.000 Well, it goes back to kind of what you were talking about earlier, which, you know, 10 years ago, you know, we're all, all trained and told, like, you know, be accepting of everybody.

01:37:11.000 Yeah. And you are, right?

01:37:13.000 You're like, okay, look, if somebody feels that way and they want to live their life that way, then okay, great.

01:37:18.000 But now what they're saying is that's not good enough.

01:37:21.000 Now they need to get those extra rights, right?

01:37:24.000 That you need to accept the fact that you don't accept it maybe, you know, for common sense or religious reasons or whatever the case may be, but you need to not only accept that, but you need to accept that It is going to permeate every aspect of society.

01:37:38.000 And you need to subsume your rights and your ideas and your thoughts on that because if you don't, we're going to shut you down.

01:37:45.000 You don't have the right to speak about that.

01:37:46.000 You'll be vilified if you don't conform to each of their whims.

01:37:50.000 And that can change. And again, like I said, I've gotten criticized because, hey, if you're an adult, I don't want to pay for it.

01:37:56.000 I don't want you jamming it down my throat. 0.99

01:37:58.000 I'm not going to go along with your bullshit where I have to conform to everything that you say. 1.00

01:38:03.000 I'm big government out of my life kind of thing. 1.00

01:38:05.000 You start messing with my kids, I got a fucking serious problem. 0.98

01:38:08.000 You start, you know, whether it's minors and the transition jury, whether it's males in women's sports, and, you know, I guess that's the thing. 0.99

01:38:16.000 We're just at the point where because they're going so much further, because they expect that sort of super equality, I just don't know that you can play the game anymore because it doesn't seem, the slippery slope does seem like they're always trying to get more, and then once they get that, that's just the starting point for them trying to get more.

01:38:33.000 Well, and you look at, you take that and you apply it to schools and young children, and if you're thinking, well, you're 25 years old, you're 30, you do your thing, fine.

01:38:44.000 You may be able to say that, well, if you want your kid to be like that, yeah, but here's the problem.

01:38:49.000 Once you start introducing that into schools, it becomes a thing.

01:38:52.000 If it's, hey, look, if you want your son or daughter to be doing drugs at school and you're fine with that and hardcore drugs, it introduces it into the school and now you have to accommodate for that.

01:39:05.000 I'm not comparing drugs to that, but it's the same type of idea where you cannot bring your point of view away.

01:39:14.000 Into a school system that is supported by the whole constituency and then demand the whole constituency bow to whatever it is that you think needs to be done.

01:39:24.000 Yeah. So before we wrap up, I think you had an interesting nickname, apparently, in Loudoun County.

01:39:31.000 Again, the home of the radical left right outside of D.C. where a lot of this stuff is happening.

01:39:35.000 But I love that you're there and willing to fight, Ian, because that's so important.

01:39:39.000 But What's the nickname that you were dubbed?

01:39:42.000 The nickname, so, you know, I dubbed them Chardonnay and Tifa, so they pushed back with their own.

01:39:48.000 Because, look, I mean, people on these streams are so serious, you've got to have a sense of humor.

01:39:52.000 And on this one, you know, they show a sense of humor.

01:39:53.000 They call me Don Jr. Jr.

01:39:55.000 Listen, it's the beard.

01:39:58.000 It is the beard. Our hair is still holding out, but we lost the beard fight.

01:40:04.000 The white has taken over. 0.97

01:40:20.000 You know, maybe there's a couple guys that are willing to be on the front lines as you are, Ian, but I think that makes it, the more of them, the more support, the more you're passing that message on, the easier as it makes it for other people to get involved and actually, you know, fight back because I think that's what we got to do right now.

01:40:34.000 Yeah, strength in numbers. Parents of the world unite.
