1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: You disagree with woke mob, They're coming for your job.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: It's Armstrong and Getty extra large.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Because four hours simply.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: This is armstrong and Getty extra large.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: This is a cautionary tale because we said all throughout

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: the pandemic, and I do believe it's true. Still a

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: cautionary tale though, that the thing we all ought to

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: do is quit paying so much attention to presidential politics

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: and more to who's our city council and on our

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: school board. That's the stuff we need to get involved with.

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: That's the stuff that affects our actual lives on a

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: day to day basis, and we can have an effect

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: on but it ain't easy all the time.

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would add local prosecutors to that list as well. Obviously.

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: This is the tale of one Janice Roberson, who is

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: a mom of three in beautiful Venetia, California. It is

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: a very pleasant town in the Bay Area. It is progressive,

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: as most of the Bay Area is. Janice was troubled,

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: as you'll hear, by the new sex ed curriculum in

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the Venetian Unified School District and got up in front

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: of the school board to discuss what she found questionable

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: or objectionable. Because of her comments, she was branded as

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: a hater, a homophoba transphobe, hounded out of her job,

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: targeted online, the victim of vicious slanders and rumors in

25
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: the press, videos online.

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: Et cetera.

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: And it's a great, as in horrible example of how

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: vicious the radical gender theory crowd can be if you

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: merely say, hey, can we wait a minute and talk

30
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: about this now. Her comments were branded afterward as hateful, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic,

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. As I said, it utterly inexcusable, beyond the pale,

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: and she deserves to lose her job, and she did,

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: as she'll explain. We're going to talk to her in

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, but why don't we let you

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: be a witness to what she said at the school

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: board meeting first and you can decide if it was

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: all of those terrible things. Michael will start with clip ninety.

38
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: But I would like to say to you, who are

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: entrusted to represent and make decisions for our children, and

40
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: to the community that may be watching this video, that

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: we have a big concern with what is now being

42
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: taught to children as young as ten in benetia, such

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: as children are being asked to identify their pronouns, and

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: this is now part of the ten year old curriculum.

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: This forces a gender discussion beyond the scope of the

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: state requirements and complicates an already overburdened classroom environment.

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: Still her pretty reasonable so far, roll On.

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: We are alarmed that gender identity is now being discussed

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: in math classes. This takes time from core learning and

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: does not benefit the students or our community. Teaching kids

51
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: that they're is in any standard or truth that you

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: can believe anything you want to believe is not scientifically

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: accurate or medically correct. For example, the notion that a

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: girl can decide to be a boy or a boy

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: can decide to be a girl is not true and

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 3: should not be taught. The new curriculum teaches that individuals

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: can decide if their male or female, regardless of anatomy.

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: Does not explain that a boy cannot menstruate and a

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: girl cannot impregnate someone. This is not scientific or medically accurate.

60
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Probably worth pointing out that the vast majority of humanity,

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: including American humanity, agrees with her. I mean the vast

62
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: majority roll on.

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: Our ten year olds will now be taught that they

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: can receive puberty blockers to prevent their body from going

65
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: through changes that make them uncomfortable. All humans are uncomfortable

66
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: during adolescence. To teach vulnerable children that a lifetime of

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: dependence on medical care is a viable option is completely

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: unacceptable and evil.

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Frankly Worth mentioning that puberty blockers are not reversible. And

70
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: yet another European country, as we've discussed on the radio show,

71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: has said, no, we're not doing this anymore, except in

72
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: very rare cases. It's going to be counseling and emotional

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: care for these kids. We're not giving them drugs anymore.

74
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: We're not doing surgeries on them anymore. It's a fairly

75
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: rare European country that is in the United States is

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: in the other direction. But we've talked about that plenty,

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: So we'll roll on.

78
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: Twelve year olds will now be taught about oral and

79
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: anal sex twelve year olds. So I get a little

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: emotional about this because I think that's wrong. The EG

81
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 3: Code five one nine through three requires that instruction and

82
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: materials should be appropriate for use of pupils of all races, gender,

83
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: sexual orientations, and ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Teaching children about

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: oral and anal sex violates this lass, and several cultures

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: would not find this teaching appropriate.

86
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: What the hell is wrong with people?

87
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that she included that argument in

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: her speech, that, for instance, you know, Muslim folks among others,

89
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: would find that horrifically inappropriate. It's a good point since

90
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: that is part of the state's you know, educational code.

91
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you need to go there teaching twelve

92
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: year olds about all the alternate creative ways to please

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: someone sexually.

94
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: Some of them. I'm a big fanom pleasure based sex thing.

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: That's part of radical gender theory and critical theory in general.

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of a broad deal, but that's part of

97
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: what they believe.

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: God, clang it. I don't want to have those discussions

99
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: with my twelve year old.

100
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: And finally, the next clip, Michael, when we asked, we

101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: were told the reason the curriculum removes the idea of

102
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: male and female was to be more inclusive, but no

103
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: longer include or no longer identifying females as having ovaries

104
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: and males as having testes is not scientific, not medically accurate,

105
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 4: and not true.

106
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: It's nonsense. It's not a choice. People are not gender fluid,

107
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: and to teach our children this is not okay.

108
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: So what people have known to be true for the

109
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: entirety of mankind stood up and said, hey, remember this,

110
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: and then the radical philosophy of the last couple of years,

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: at least in the mainstream, it's been in your far

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: left colleges for a while, responds to the entire history

113
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: of mankind with a not only are you wrong, You're

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: a hateful bigot, and I'm going to ruin you for

115
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: expressing that at a school board meeting. No matter how politely,

116
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: how measuredly, how much documentation, the legal the quote of

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: the school policies, no matter how much you are careful

118
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: to be respectful, we are going to ruin you. I

119
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty fair description of what happened. Well,

120
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: he or she is Janet Roberson, a resident of Benetia, California,

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: concerned mom, local businesswoman until fairly recently, and we'll get

122
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: into that a little a little bit more. But Janet,

123
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: how are you.

124
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, I'm very grateful to talk to you.

125
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: Thank you well, We're glad you did. You're obviously a

126
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: brave lady. Now we've listened to what you said in

127
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: front of the Benicia School Board. I don't think anybody

128
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: can deny that it was very polite, It was very measured,

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: it was respectful in every way. Is there anything you

130
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: want to add to your comments before the school board

131
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: before we talk about what happened afterward.

132
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 5: No, I appreciate you saying so. I feel the same way.

133
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 5: I was very surprised when after what I said became

134
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 5: big news in town that I was a homophobe and

135
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: a transphobe. None of those things are true, and I

136
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: think if people listen to what I said, de'll agree.

137
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: So you spoke at the Benisha Unified School District meeting

138
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: to disagree with the new sex ed curriculum. What happened

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: after that?

140
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: So?

141
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm a mom of three children, nine year old,

142
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: at twelve year old, at fourteen year old, and so

143
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 5: when I saw the new curriculum that's coming out that

144
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: I believe is to be taught this year, I was

145
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: very concerned about several items on it, which we can discuss.

146
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: But I just simply went and spoke at the school

147
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 5: board meeting like a lot of parents do. And then

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 5: I was really surprised that afterwards, within the week, several

149
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: people wrote to the local newspapers and even wrote to

150
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: my company corporate headquarters to say that I was transphobic

151
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 5: and homophobic and a bigot and all the terrible insults

152
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 5: that were thrown at me, none of which are true.

153
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 5: And then it just kind of snowballed from there.

154
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: So they contacted your place of work, and then did

155
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: your place of work say, hey, what's up with this?

156
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, great question. I was very shocked when

157
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 5: I saw the letters in the newspaper actually identified me

158
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: as a Compass real estate agent, because when I spoke

159
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 5: to the school board meeting, of course, I didn't identify

160
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 5: myself as anything other than a mom, and so that

161
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: was pretty crazy. And then when I heard they'd actually

162
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: written to my corporate headquarters, my local team leader. So

163
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: I worked with Compass here in Benetia in a little team,

164
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 5: and they approached me and said, hey, you know, we've

165
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 5: been told and Compass Corporate has been told that you're

166
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: transphobic and all these things, to which I said, no,

167
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: of course not. You know me, I've worked here for

168
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: over a year and I've brought in great money for

169
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: you guys. In twenty twenty two, I did pretty well.

170
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: I retired law enforcement, but I then did a retirement

171
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 5: job as a realtor and kind of had just started out,

172
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 5: and they said, well, Compass Corporate's really concerned about it.

173
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 5: And you know, basically I didn't really think much of

174
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: it because I thought what I had said at the

175
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 5: school board meeting was very reasonable. So then to get

176
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: a call from the Compass Corporate representative, our regional managing director,

177
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: to tell me that I could no longer do business

178
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: as a Compass agent, I was shocked. I mean I

179
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: just felt my heart drop. I couldn't believe that they

180
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: had done well.

181
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: What was there? Why? Why couldn't you do work for

182
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: them anymore?

183
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: Great question, which is exactly what I said. I said,

184
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 5: oh my goodness, I said, my business is doing great.

185
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: And his words were, yes, this has nothing to do

186
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 5: with business. And I said, well, you need to give

187
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 5: me a reason. You know, why on the earth would

188
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 5: you let me go if my business is great? And

189
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 5: he said, well, no, actually, we don't have to give

190
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 5: you a reason because you're an independent contractor, which, by

191
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 5: the way, pretty much all realtors in the United States

192
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: are independent contractors. He said, we don't. We really don't

193
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: have to give you a reason, and I said, no,

194
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: this is devastating to me. I've just spent tens of

195
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 5: thousands of dollars branding myself as a compass agent, and

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: you're saying I can't work as a compass agent anymore,

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 5: and I need something in writing or some sort of reason.

198
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 5: And he would not elaborate. I'm certain he was advised

199
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 5: by counsel not to.

200
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, his counsel is smart, because to fire

201
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: somebody for their political beliefs is kind of a no

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: no in this country and actually even in the state

203
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: of Unicornia. Well, I have a feeling that discussion is

204
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: not over by any means. I'll let you worry about that.

205
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: So I understand the local papers actually wrote to your

206
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: company and said, hey, we're going to publish this, and

207
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: we're going to you know, we're going to publish it

208
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: an op ed calling her all these terrible things. Do

209
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: you want to comment on it, when, again, your professional

210
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: association's never factored into this in any way other than

211
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: as a threat.

212
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent right. I never brought my profession

213
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: into this at all. I was just a mom speaking

214
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: at a school board meeting. But to clarify a little bit,

215
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: the people who wrote to Compass Corporate and threatened to

216
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: go public with the fact that they're employing a transfobe,

217
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 5: which again is not true, was actually a club here

218
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 5: in Benisia called the Progressive Democrats of Benetia. Their treasurer

219
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 5: was the one who wrote the main letter, and it's

220
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 5: available for anyone to read for themselves and make their

221
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: own opinion at my website it's banishafreedom dot org.

222
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Is that the letter from Billy Innisley.

223
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: Ennis is actually a man about town. He ran for

224
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 5: city council I think a couple of times and has lost,

225
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 5: but he's known in town as kind of a rabble rouser.

226
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: The letter that to me was most concerning was a

227
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 5: woman named Nathalie Christian and she's the treasurer of the

228
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 5: Progressive Democrats of Benetia and she's the one who wrote

229
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: to Compass and said, if you don't disavow disassociate yourself

230
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 5: from Janet Robertson by May first, we're going to go

231
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 5: public on this. And sure enough, May first is when

232
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: I got the call from the corporate representative who told

233
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 5: me I could no longer be a Compass agent.

234
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, that activists have figured this out. They know the

235
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: play is to go after your workplace if they want

236
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: to frighten people off, because every workplace is so afraid

237
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: of being being attacked by the mob that they're willing

238
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: to let people go.

239
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at this letter from the Progressive Democrats,

240
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: I think, and it continually identifies you as Compass real

241
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: Estate's agent, Jennet Roberson, which is not an accident. They

242
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: are absolutely attempting to terrorize you into silence by taking

243
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: away your ability to make a living.

244
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean it's practically like saying, hey, we know where

245
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: your kids live or something like that. I mean, it's

246
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: just a threat.

247
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, I completely agree.

248
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is something. This is just absolute ugly crazy.

249
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: I mean it would be It's like a better example

250
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: would have been edit that out. My example was poor.

251
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: A better example would be the kind of car you

252
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: drive and where you bark. I mean, yes, that's what

253
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: it is.

254
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. It truly is an attempt to silence me,

255
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 5: and for me it was effective. It actually got me fired. Sure,

256
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: I'm very very fortunate that, like I say, it's a

257
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: retirement job for me with real estate, although it is

258
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 5: my primary income at this point, I have a small

259
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: pension from having been law enforcement, which I appreciate a

260
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 5: lot of parents don't. There's a lot of Americans who

261
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 5: work as independent contractors and that is their sole income,

262
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 5: and for me it has also been financially devastating. But

263
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 5: it's just so frustrating. I would love to have seeing

264
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 5: Compass come out in response to this to say, hey,

265
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: we respect they're big proponents of the diversity, equity and inclusion.

266
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 5: Why not say we're diverse and inclusive and we appreciate

267
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 5: all walks of life and all thoughts, and we will

268
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 5: support any of our realtors whatever their political ideology is,

269
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 5: even if we disagree with it. My thoughts are likely

270
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: they're not as traditional as I am, and traditional people

271
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: should also be protected.

272
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're absolutely right. What we've been saying for

273
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: years is I wish these companies realize if you just

274
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: not fire and do nothing for forty eight hours, it'll

275
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: go away and nobody will ever remember it again.

276
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: Right well, and I hope they are corporate lawyers were

277
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: listening to this right now and jotted down word for

278
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: word what you just said, because that is not only

279
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: a perfectly reasonable policy, but it's for the only one

280
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: that's possible in a world where people disagree with each other.

281
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: I agree.

282
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a scary situation. I mean, you weren't asking

283
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: for this. It's not like you're an activist, really. I mean,

284
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: you went to discuss the curriculum at the school, and

285
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: that's scary.

286
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, and so it's disappointing to me that

287
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: I was silenced, and I'm hoping that my story doesn't

288
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 5: scare parents but actually inspires people to come up and

289
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 5: speak up. I've received just an outpouring of support email, text,

290
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 5: phone call that had to shut my phone off for

291
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 5: people who said, we totally agree with you. And so

292
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: I feel like if more Americans felt empowered to exercise

293
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 5: their right to free speech. I mean, it's crazy that

294
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 5: people would be afraid to do that. In America, you

295
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: should be able to have an opinion about your child's education.

296
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 5: And so I'm really hoping people step forward and realize

297
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: there's a lot of us that do have traditional values.

298
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: Don't be afraid and please speak up.

299
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: My kids are about to exactly the same age as

300
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: your kids, and so I'm just starting to run into

301
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: it myself, the stuff that's being taught in school.

302
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, on a personal note, I remember the one in

303
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: high school, one in middle school, one in elementary school.

304
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: Days and God bless you, Janet hey and listen, we

305
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: admire the heck out of what you're doing. We are

306
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent with you. If there's any way we

307
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: can help, let us know again. Her website is Benetia

308
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Freedom dot org. We'll have a link prominently placed at

309
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: armstrong in getty dot com so you can find it

310
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: and lend your sport. And it's it's just crazy, but

311
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: good for you standing up.

312
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520

Speaker 5: me share my story. Thank you very very much.

314
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you. Thanks.

315
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about finding a way out of

316
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: this because, like I said, the activists know the play

317
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: is to go after your workplace and it is successful

318
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: a lot.

319
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Yes, So many of your corporate animals are so involved

320
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: in the day to day ins and outs of their

321
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: corporate activities they don't have a sense of the greater

322
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: culture and the greater political world around them. They don't

323
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: understand that the outrage is phony. It is utilized entirely

324
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: as a weapon, to the extent that the outrage is sincere.

325
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: It's unbalanced people who believe things that only a tiny

00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: minority of people believe. And so when they're you know,

Speaker 1: awakened from their C suite meetings and told, hey, we

328
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: got a controversy here, they panic.

329
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: Plus, everything lasts like a day in the modern world.

330
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: It'll go away, don't worry about it.

331
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, haven't said that. Janet's a brave lady. Good
