1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: The freight train is a coming. Talk about that tonight. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about what's going on at the RNC, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: what's going on at libraries. Why won't they allow Christian 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: books in there? We have so much to get to tonight. 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm right. Do you ever see that show? I think 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 1: it was a cartoon. I don't know. I don't do 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: research beforehand, But you ever you ever see that show 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: where it's two guys almost positive it was a Disney 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: cartoon where they're where they're playing tug a war. They 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: both want this thing and it's I think it's a purse, 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: and they're playing tug a war on the train tracks 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: and there's this gigantic train coming towards them, and they're 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: not paying attention because they're so worried about playing tug 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: of war with this thing, and they're both about to 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: get splattered and turned into pancakes. You know, I think 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: about that sometimes when I think about us, all of us, 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: myself included, because there are things every everyone has their 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: issue or issues. You know, got two or three that 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: you're super hot one, whatever they may be. But here's 20 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: what's so crazy, everything around us. Everything you see right now, 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: everything in America. It's all going to fade away to 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: nothing if America collapses financially. And we've been so wealthy 23 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: and so powerful for so long that I get why 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: people don't think about it. It doesn't seem like it's 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: something that's possible. I'm bean sure we're gonna have recessions here, 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have it. They're gonna be blips in 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: the radar. But it's America. After all, America couldn't They 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: could never economically fall. That's for those other countries Europe 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: and Middle East, and I'm not here in America. Here 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: is the truth. The truth is history doesn't lie. That's 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: why I love it so much. And debt ends nations, 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: it just does. Once the treasury is empty, once the 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: value of the currency is gone, the nation is gone. No, No, 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: this is not going to happen tomorrow. I'm not doing 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 1: doomsday stuff. I don't think it's going to happen next year. Either. 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: But man alive, do we look about prime to have 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: that nose dive? Don't we fetch? Just raise interest rates 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: another half point that makes them the highest they've been 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: in fifteen years. Wages are not stagnant. Wages are lagging behind. 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: They're down one point nine percent according to the latest 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,839 Speaker 1: CPI stuff out there. But all that stuff, all that's 42 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: bad enough, right, that would be bad. It's one thing 43 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: if you're in a boat, and you're in a boat 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: and the boat is starting to take on water and 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: you're out there in the middle of the ocean. Okay, 46 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: that's bad, but not the end of the world. Before 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: we'll start balance the water. We'll see if we can 48 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: pass things up and fix it. It's not the end 49 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: of the world. But if the people who are in 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: charge of the boat as the boat's taking on water 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: are busy telling you we're not taking on water. If anything, 52 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: we're losing water, it's going well, that's a problem. Now 53 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: twenty one months later, we can see how our economic 54 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: plan is working. Last several months, wages have gone up 55 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: more than prices have gone up. Wages have gone up 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: more than prices have gone up. Everyone's watching their standard 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: of living evaporade, and they're bragging about what's going on. 58 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: And here's something else we've gotten used to as a country. 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I know I have. It's been this way my whole 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: life of forty one in America, because we've been so 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: blessed because we've had so much money as a nation, 62 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the wealth of this country. I mean, people don't even 63 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: Americans don't even appreciate the economy of Texas. Texas is 64 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: bigger than Russia's entire economy. Do you realize that we're 65 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: just so wealthy? So as part of that wealth we've 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: made it really just something we do in this country 67 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: where we send mass quantities of money whenever. We do 68 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: it all the time. Hey, they need a billion here, 69 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: they need a billion there. Hey let's send ten billion here, 70 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Let's give them fifty billion. Oh, look at that a 71 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: sad video. Toss them some billions. It's just what we 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: do here in the country. As the national debt reaches 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: a breaking point and interest rates get to a fifteen 74 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: year old year high, the people still running the country 75 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: are still acting as if that same America it's here. 76 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: We'll just toss some money anywhere. Hey, let's set a 77 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: bunch of billion to Africa. Today's announcement joint join a 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: portfolio of partnership for global infrastructure and investment projects already 79 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: underwear in Africa, including globileize eight billion dollars in public 80 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: and private finance to help South Africa replace coal fired 81 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: power plans with renewable energy sources? What which brings us 82 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: to where we are now? Maybe you look at that stuff. 83 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you're going through some financial hard times right now. 84 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who are. You're not 85 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: alone if you are. Maybe you're looking at the bills, Honey, 86 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Maybe we can. Can we cut this out? 87 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: And you're doing the budgeting thing with the Excel spreadsheets? Oh, 88 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: I know, I've been there. I've been there more than once. 89 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: I've done it. We could, we could, We got to 90 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: cut this, I know, I know. And maybe you look 91 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: at that and it makes you mad, and it makes 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: me mad too. But here's what makes me even matter. 93 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: There's no opposition party to this insanity. Please keep in 94 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: mind that the one very very valid criticism Democrats have 95 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: of Republicans is Republicans spend just as much, if not more, 96 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: they do. Go look at two thousand and sixteen to 97 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: two twenty vast sums of money to spend, even right 98 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: now as we are nearing crisis levels for people. I mean, 99 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three is going to be a very very 100 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: very rough year, even now in a lame duct session. 101 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: So That means they don't have to pass any bill 102 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: at all. This is a lame duck session. They can 103 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: wait until the next Congress comes in. Mitch McConnell is 104 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: currently working with the Democrats on an omnimus spending bill 105 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: that will be well north of a trillion dollars, probably 106 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: one and a half one point six one point seven. 107 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: Scott Perry told us that yesterday and all kinds of 108 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: corruption in there, all kinds of ear marks in there. 109 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: What are ear marks? Tom McClintock joined us. He told 110 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: us what they were. Well, earmarks are when a Congressman, 111 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: instead of going through the normal competitive, merit driven based system, 112 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: simply designates how money is going to be spent and 113 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: to whom it's going to be given. This is how 114 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: members of Congress so a fund to their pet projects, 115 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: lavish public funds on their key supporters. It is highly corrupting. 116 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: It was the source of most of the political corruption 117 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: in which Congress was old. In nineteen nineties and two thousands, 118 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: when Republicans last hole held a majority of the House, 119 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: we did away with them and we got along just 120 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: fine with the merit based competitive system. Unfortunately, they have 121 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: now been brought back, and that's going to make much 122 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: more difficult to control spending. And it's something that I 123 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: hope that the Republican Conference will reconsider in the coming days. 124 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: As the freight train is coming. That's what we're doing 125 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: because we don't have an opposition party, we have a 126 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: party of units. Nancy Pelosi had a big portrait reveal 127 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: and everything yesterday stepping down from Speaker of the House, 128 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: and John Bayner showed up and as you watch this video, 129 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: As you watch this video, John Bayner crying, Oh Nancy, 130 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: I love you. I want you to do this for me. 131 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: As you watch this video, I want you to tell 132 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: me what a Democrat ever in a million years show 133 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: up for a Republican retirement and conduct themselves in this way. 134 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: My team here in Washington, am Adam Speaker, I have 135 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: to say, my girls told me, tell us Speaker how 136 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: much we admire her. I think my tea levels just dropped. 137 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: And that brings me to someone who actually has testosterone. 138 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: I've said this before, I'll say it again. There are 139 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: many many days where I wish I was a Communist. No, 140 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to be some vile, demonic, anti human 141 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: like the Communists are but my goodness, at least they 142 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: stand up and they fight and they have guts. I 143 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: love it. I've told you before. I know she's a 144 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: Disney movie villain. I know. I know it's fashionable to 145 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: hate her. I hate her too, man. I love Nancy Pelosi. 146 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: I wish we had can just give me five? Give 147 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: me five, Nancy Pelosi. He's on our team. Tell me 148 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: the Republican who treats the media like this, will you 149 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: commit to serving your full to year term for the 150 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: people of Santanta? What is this? Don't bother me with 151 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: a question like that. Really, really okay, matter what I'm 152 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: gonna do. Yeah, I know those kind of questions. There's 153 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: such a words of my time. No, I mean yes, sir, 154 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: that's wonderful. All that may have made you uncomfortable, but 155 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm right now. We have a packed show for you tonight. 156 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: Before I get to all of that, let's get to this. 157 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: Let's get to Christmas time. I want you to picture 158 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: this moment. Picture this moment. Family gathers around the tree. 159 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: It's time for your spouse to open their gift, husband, wife, 160 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: whatever you got, and he or she opens it up 161 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: and she sees a three pack of Eton Pure thunderstorms 162 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: in there with some jewelry on the side, and she 163 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: looks up and says, well, what what what is this? 164 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: And you say, that's the gift of health for the 165 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: coming year because Eden Pure thunderstorms kill the viruses and 166 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: mold in the air.

We'll be bad. Each morning, the President of 175 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the 176 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's 177 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, 178 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: now you can hear your very own PDB in the 179 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, 180 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am, 181 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Eastern I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the 182 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: most important issues facing the country, giving you the critical 183 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: intelligence and analysis you need to start your morning. All Right, 184 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: the RNC, they're kind of important. We need them to 185 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: help us win elections. And we've been up and down 186 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: with that, and somebody did some actual journalism. I can't 187 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: believe there are still people who do that in this country. 188 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: And they did some digging on the spending of the RNC. 189 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: You know that money that's supposed to go to candidates 190 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: and get out the vote and things like that. Well, 191 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: the money was being spent on private jets, limos, luxury resorts, 192 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: and Broadway shows. But I don't want to pre judge, 193 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: so let's ask the journalists herself. Jennifer Van Laar, managing 194 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: editor Red State dot Com. Jennifer, it's your journalism, not mine. 195 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: I'll just steal it from my show tonight. What happened. 196 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: Great steal away, you know, And according to the RNC, 197 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a journalist. I'm someone posting a fake blog 198 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: post in the middle of the night, or false blog posts. 199 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: So that's why I still have glasses on, because I 200 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: was a path the night. However, what I found when 201 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: I looked into how the RNC is spending donor money 202 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: is that over three million dollars since twenty seventeen were 203 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: spent on private jets. That's an addition to the commercial 204 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: flights that probably the lower rung staffers have to take 205 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: to where they're going seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars 206 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: on floral arrangements, and these are not flowers for events 207 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: or fundraisers, because this is just all categorized as floral arrangements, 208 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: not under any fundraising expenses. Then if you're a staff 209 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: or a senior staff where you get to go to 210 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: things like a Raiders game and a private box paid 211 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: for by RNC donors, or a retreat at the Salamander 212 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: Resort and spat, that's about a thousand dollars a night 213 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: just for the room, kind of like the Greenbrier. I 214 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: had to look it up. Forty three thousand dollars at 215 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Top Golf, thirteen thousand dollars for shows like The Lion 216 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: King on Broadway or whatever happened to be playing at 217 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: the Stephen Sondheim Theater when they spent money there. So 218 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: I just insane amounts of spending in seventeen million dollars 219 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: on donor mementos. Okay, all right, this is a bit overwhelming. 220 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: I want to circle to the private jet thing, okay now, 221 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: because that's the one that just seems obscene in every way. Jennifer, 222 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: please tell me they were taking a major don or 223 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: somewhere on a private jet or something. Please tell me 224 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: there was some kind of reason other than I just 225 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: feel like flying private and not going through FSA. Well, 226 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: unfortunately they haven't really given it's the description within the 227 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: FEC reports on that. I have heard some feedback that 228 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: some of Rona McDaniel's allies within the RNC are saying, well, 229 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: we have to reimburse for Air Force one if our 230 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: people go on Air Force one, you know with Trump 231 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: when he was president. Yes, okay, I understand that, but 232 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: these are not the private jet expenses that I noted 233 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: are not paid to the government. If you fly on 234 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Air Force one and you have to contribute your portion 235 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: of it, you pay that to the government. You don't 236 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: pay it to a charter jet service. Okay, you brought 237 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: this information to Rona McDaniel's team. I would think if 238 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: I was in charge of the RNC and somebody was 239 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: spending things like this under me, I'd care. What was 240 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: their response. Well, first, a spokesperson who's both with Ronda's 241 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: reelect and the national spokeswoman for the RNC, kind of 242 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: doing double duty, contacted me and made sure that I 243 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: posted her statement verbatim at the bottom of my story, 244 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: which I did disclose originally when the story posted that 245 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: her Meat Dylan has represented me when Katie Hill sued 246 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: me after I exposed her relationship with one of her staffers, 247 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: her Meat did represent me in that, and I disclosed that, 248 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: and I disclosed that I had already endorsed her Meat 249 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: for chair. So they RNC just basically said that one 250 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: of her Meat's clients is posting a hit piece in 251 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and that it's filled with lies, 252 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: and that the spending only adds up to point eight 253 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: percent of what Rona McDaniel raised this cycle. And I'm thinking, so, 254 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: what what I identified is six million dollars of waste. 255 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: That is actually the same amount that they sent to 256 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the entire state of California during this election when we 257 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: were trying to make sure we held on to seats 258 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: like Mike Garcia Young, Kim, Michelle Steele. So that eight 259 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: point eight percent is just completely tone deaf. You have 260 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: people sending twenty five and fifty dollars donations every month, 261 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: people who worked hard their whole lives and are sacrificing 262 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: for that, and then their sacrifice is basically just laughed 263 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: at by the people at the RNC. Jennifer van Laar, 264 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: outstanding work. Go reader stuff at RedState dot com. I 265 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: appreciate you very much.

Maybe we should get Grip six to 275 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: send around of these lockable wallets over to the RNC. 276 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: That's actually a really good idea.

We should be doing more to 291 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: support people who are educating our kids and keeping our 292 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: neighborhoods safe. That was Barack Obama trumped up culture war. 293 00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: He was talking about the Loudon County rape. What joining 294 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: me now, Luke Rosiak, investigative reporter for The Daily Wire, Luke, 295 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: I want you to pretend like I just arrived here 296 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: from another planet and don't know anything about Loudon County. 297 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: What's happening in Loudon County. How did this begin? Where 298 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 1: did it begin? Take as much time as you need 299 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: to catch us up on this place. Sure, well, it 300 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: turns out it's not actually phony outrage. People actually do 301 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: object to their kids being raped. It's not just something 302 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: they say to try to get votes. You know, this 303 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: began back in June of twenty twenty one when there 304 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: was a guy that you know if you watch TV, 305 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: because he was all over CNN and all those channels, 306 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: being arrested at a school board meeting, and no one 307 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: explained why. They just said, he's probably one of these 308 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: white supremacist domestic terrorists. He's probably racist. They were discussing 309 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: a transgender policy, whether they should pass a transgender policy 310 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: at that meeting. Said they just assumed that he was bigoted, 311 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: and so, as an investor get a reporter, I just 312 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: called him up and I said, you know, I saw 313 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: that you were arrested for unroally conduct. You were mad. 314 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: I was just wondering why you were mad. And so 315 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: he told me, you know, my daughter was brutally raped 316 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: in a school bathroom just three weeks ago. And at 317 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: that meeting where they were trying to pass a transgender policy, 318 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: the superintendent dismissed parental concerns about these sort of safety 319 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: risks by lecturing the parents and saying, there's no such 320 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: thing as a transgender predator, and we've never had any 321 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: sexual assaults in our bathrooms. And this poor guy, he 322 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: felt so unheard. I mean, this had happened to his 323 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: daughter just a month prior, and no one seemed to care. 324 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: And so the school district had basically done nothing to 325 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: the rapist. They had lied about it, and that's why 326 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: this man was arrested. And so I began talking with 327 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: him and reporting out the story, and everything he told 328 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: me turned out to be true. And in October, the boy, 329 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: who had just been transferred to another school went on 330 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: to sexually assault a second girl. And so it turned 331 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: out that, you know, because they had lied and tried 332 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: to cover up this rape, and it seemed like they 333 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: did it because they wanted to pass this transgender policy 334 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: and it would have made that very difficult to do. 335 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: A second girl was brutally attacked. And in the meantime, 336 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: when this man, this father of the rape victim, was arrested, 337 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: the National School Board Association used him as the prime 338 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: example for white parents are quote domestic terrorists, we should 339 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: invoke the Patriot Act on them. The White House worked 340 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: with them on that letter to get the DOJ. The 341 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: FBI involved against parents, and we also had here in 342 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: Loudon County one of these Soros funded prosecutors that typically says, 343 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, we want we don't want to put anyone 344 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: in jail. You know, violent criminals can go free, no bail, 345 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: no nothing. Well, when this father was a did she 346 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: personally prosecuted him and sought jail time for the minor 347 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. And so they were literally just 348 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: trying to put the father of a rape victim in 349 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: prison or jail at least while the rapist was going free. 350 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: And this rapist turned out to be a sick individual. 351 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, his own grandma told officials that 352 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: he was a sociopath. The judge said he was one 353 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: of the most twisted individuals she'd ever seen. And so 354 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: it's been a long road of people denying that this 355 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: even happened. The New York Times said, you know, it's 356 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: the rights big lie about the sexual assaultant for genius. 357 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: So they were smearing me as a journalist. You did 358 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: this big investigative article, but over time, every single piece 359 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: had just been confirmed. I mean, the boy has now 360 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: been convicted of rape. You know, he admitted in court 361 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: he was wearing a skirt in that bathroom. And now 362 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: the superintendent, and this is the big news that just 363 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: occurred this week. The superintendent has been indicted for lying 364 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: in that meeting, as well as the school spokesman who 365 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: is my primary contact with the school organist school, and 366 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: his whole thing was optics. You know, what are we 367 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: telling the public? What's the spin? He's been indicted for 368 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: felony perjury. Okay, well, I'm glad he's been indicted. However, 369 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: I did catch this video and it looks like he's 370 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: still being supported indictment or not. My final statement tonight 371 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: is that doctor Ziggler's commitment to support student privacy and 372 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: be the lightning rod for criticism is a perfect demonstration 373 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: of his integrity and why he continues to have my 374 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: unwavering support as a LCPS superintendent. Thank you, doctor Ziggler. Okay, 375 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: so they got rid of the scumbag superintendent, but it 376 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: appears that the rod is a bit deeper than that. 377 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Who else on this school board needs to go? Yeah. 378 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: I mean, so the superintendent is the school board is 379 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: the boss of the superintendent. And you saw there the 380 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: woman in the video was the chairwoman of the board 381 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: at the time. She's a lesbian, and she made, you know, 382 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: sexual orientation a big part of her campaign at her 383 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: time in the school board. You saw that the school 384 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: board member sitting next to or had like a rainbow 385 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: on her laptop, and you know, you would think you 386 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: might have like a picture of a book or a 387 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: math equation or something like. This is a school board, 388 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: it's not a you know, some kind of sex club. 389 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, they made the sex stuff a huge part 390 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: of their whole time on the school board. And as 391 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: you saw her in that clip there, she's basically saying 392 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: to the superintendent, thanks for taking the heat for us, 393 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 1: because it, you know, then we can blame you. And 394 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: so she's happy to have the superintendent be the fall guy. 395 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: And so they knew that when he said there was 396 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: no rapes in the schools that that was false because 397 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: they had received an email from him just three weeks 398 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: prior saying there was a rape in the school bathroom. Today, 399 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: the school board, you know, had reason to know a 400 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff the superintendent didn't formally notify them 401 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: of the second rape, the second sexual assault that was 402 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: committed by the same guy, and they learned it my article. 403 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: So there was an element of concealment from the superintendent. 404 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: But in general, I mean the stage was set by 405 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: this school board. We're going to hire a superintendent who's 406 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: not so much focus on academics. He's focused on social 407 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: issues and politics and quote equity. All right, here was 408 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: Glenn Junkin. I'm gonna ask you a question about him 409 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: after this. I do believe that part of my job 410 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: as governor is to make the decisions to shine light 411 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: on circumstances like this, and that's what we are elected 412 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: to do. And I wasn't surprised by the pushback from 413 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: Democrats because this is something that in fact is not 414 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: just an embarrassment, but it suggests that they tried to 415 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: cover it up. And at the end of the day, 416 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: we were going to shine a bright light on this 417 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: and make sure that the facts were clear and that 418 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: those that had in fact violated their duty would be 419 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: held accountable. And that's exactly what's happened. Okay, how has 420 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: Glenn Youngkin been on all this stuff? I know, that's 421 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: a big part of why he was elected. All the 422 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: filth that's going on in Virginia schools so great it 423 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: has he been good, has he'd been bad? You know, 424 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: he's been great. And this is he won in a 425 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: state that was like D plus ten because it turns 426 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: out that parents who have traditionally voted for Democrats also 427 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: care about their kids, also don't want their kids raped, 428 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: also want their kids to learn rigorous education, math and 429 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: science and schools. And you had Terry mccauliffe saying parents 430 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: shouldn't play a role in schools. The timing of this was, 431 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, and the Democrats, they just they wanted power 432 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: more than anything. And when this rape happened and the 433 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: second sexual assault happened, they said, oh, well this is 434 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna it's partisan because it's gonna harm our guy. Well, 435 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna harm your guy, but it's not partisan. It's 436 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: just something bad that happened on your watch. And you know, 437 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: I didn't time the story for the election, and I 438 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: broke the story October eleventh, just three weeks before the election. 439 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: But that's because the rapists struck again on October sixth. 440 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: So I turned out a big piece of investigative journalism 441 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: that was on a timely crime that had been committed 442 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: in the schools that they weren't going to tell anyone about. 443 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: And so you know, it did serve as sort of 444 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: a metaphor for people that are so partisan that they're 445 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: willing to harm kids to ram through their ideological agenda. 446 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: And I think people of all political persuasions started to 447 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: see just how far these schools had gone off the rails. 448 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the rape in Loudon was just a symptom of, 449 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: as he said, this deeper rot which is permeated most 450 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: school districts. And so the timing was that just happened 451 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: to be an election. Glenn young Can rightfully stood up 452 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: for parents, and he's followed through as governor. He convened 453 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: a special grand jury which resulted in those indictments this week, 454 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: as well as a report that corroborated everything in my 455 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: story and found that it was even worse than we knew. 456 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: And you know I knew because I reported it, and 457 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: I only report things that are true. That everything would 458 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: have checked out, that anyone would have returned indictments if 459 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: they were looking. But here's the thing, I mean, if 460 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: it weren't for Glen Yuncan as governor, there would have 461 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: been to special grand jury to look at those facts. 462 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: We do have the George Soros prosecutor, who is never 463 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: going to convene a regular grand jury, even though there 464 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: was plenty of evidence of crimes. And that gives the 465 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: rest of the people the ability to say, oh, it's 466 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: all made up. Because they haven't bothered to read the 467 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: story in the Daily Wire, they can tell themselves it's 468 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: all fake. So we're starting to see some consequences here, 469 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: which is I think what it's going to take. But 470 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: there is a lot of rod It's not just one 471 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: guy at the head. It is the school board, but 472 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: it's also all the minions that are kind of entrenched 473 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: in the school system that have been operating in this 474 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: way in terms of trying to look good rather than 475 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: be good, and they're willing to harm people, and they're 476 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: willing to lower academic standards. As long as you know, 477 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: the public, it seems okay, and that's what people are seeing. 478 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: And you know, I think Junkin has done great on this, 479 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: but it's really just the tip of the iceberg. Your 480 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: book is called Race to the Bottom, Uncovering the Secret 481 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: Forces destroying American public education? What are these secret forces? 482 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: So you have You know, if you remember the common 483 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: Core ten years ago, the Obama thing, it was the 484 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: Gates Foundation pushing it. The schools are really big. There's 485 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: a very few groups that are big enough to influence them. 486 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: But what it is is the Ford Foundation, the Kellock Foundation, 487 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: Rockefeller Foundation. These are really really radical groups that at 488 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: times fun actual communist things, no exaggeration or rhetorical use 489 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: of the word. And you know these are massive. You know, 490 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: they got the wealth of the billionaires from one hundred 491 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: years ago and now it's just controlled by far leftists 492 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: and they just basically own the school system. You also 493 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: have the consultants. You come in and make money, and 494 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: they basically hire them to write a study and say, 495 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: will you find find out if our schools system is racist? 496 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: And of course the answer is always yes, because then 497 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: you have to hire them for more things. And then 498 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: you obviously have the teachers unions who viewed schools as 499 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: not places that exist to serve kids, but as employment 500 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: centers for adults. And then the final group is just 501 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: the self serving administrators and they really are all about optics. 502 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: The schools are really terrible. There's like less than a 503 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: third of kids are proficient in reading, even at the 504 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: twelfth grade level. I mean, what kind of country is this? 505 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: How are we going to survive as a superpower when 506 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: the kids can't even read? And so what they do 507 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: is they gain the stats because they're always trying to 508 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: manipulate you, and so they lower standards. And so when 509 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: the graduation rate was pretty bad, like at the beginning 510 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: of the Obomba administration, the graduation rate was bad, and 511 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: he took credit for the graduation rate going up every year. Well, 512 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: what was happening was they were just making it easier 513 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: to graduate, and they were lowering standards, and our kids 514 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: didn't have to learn anything in school anymore. And so 515 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: it's really the same thing with the rape. Excuse me, 516 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: they didn't keep kids safe. They just hit it from us, 517 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: and then we're able to say, well, we've gotten now 518 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: this inclusive policy about transgender restrooms and everything is safe. 519 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: Well it turns out that they had just failed to 520 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: report the rape on these legally required you know, submissions 521 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: to the state. And so it's all about optics. It's 522 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: all about you know, equity basically means making things equal 523 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: by bringing everyone down to the lowest common denominator, and 524 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: so that's really intentionally harming kids as well. The last 525 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: example all mentioned because this has been going on in 526 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: all thirteen thousand school districts, and you know, look, I 527 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: live in Loudon County. I wrote this book that basically 528 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: what I did in Loudon County. I want to help 529 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: parents do where they live because I just can't. I 530 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: can't come to every school district. I can show you 531 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: how to find the telltale signs and figure out what's 532 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: going on, because I can tell you it's not going 533 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: to be the exact same thing with the transgender rape 534 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: cover up. It's going to be metaphorically the same thing. 535 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna be lying and spinning and using jargon that 536 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: you don't understand to trick you. And this explains all 537 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: the crazy jargon, which is really just the stupidest stuff 538 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: dressed up in five syllable words to make you think 539 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: they're not dumb. But you know, the last example of 540 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: equity harming kids is the OBOMBA administration made it so that, 541 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, suspensions had to be equal among races, and 542 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: so what happens there is if there's a lot of 543 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: black kids that just keep beating up Asians. They're just 544 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: going to let them keep doing it. You've either got 545 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: to frame Asians for doing things wrong that they didn't do, 546 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: or you've got to look the other way when there's 547 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: brutal as souls and so kids have been getting harmed 548 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: in the name of equity and social justice in schools 549 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: for a long time. And the coroll areas they're just 550 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: not learning. They're they're not knowing advanced math and science 551 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: and reading. And it's really, in my view, it's everywhere. 552 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: It's a huge mistake to think it's loud and loud 553 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: as a metaphor in a case study. It's everywhere. And 554 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: I think it's really one of the biggest threats to 555 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: our country done in the long term, but in the 556 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: next couple of years. Because you look at the stats 557 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: for eighteen year olds, twelfth graders, they're out in the 558 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: workforce in a year, they're voting, and these kids don't 559 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: know anything. It's because of these teachers, unions and superintendents 560 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: and consultants and foundations. Luke, the book is raised to 561 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: the bottom. Thank you, brother, thank you. All right, we're 562 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: not done yet. We'll talk to Kirk Cameron next. Before 563 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: we talk to Kirk, let's talk about this. Let's talk 564 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: about that stupid timeshare you're stuck in. I know, I 565 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: know what happened. I hear the stories all the time, 566 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: especially now that I speak so often for a loan 567 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: Star Transfer. I know, you write me in and you 568 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: tell me, Jesse, it looked so good, Jesse. We enjoyed 569 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: it for a few years, but then we got out 570 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: of it. We always thought we could get out of it. 571 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: We tried to get out of it. They won't let 572 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: us out. I know they all do what not all 573 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: of them. Many of these time share companies do this. 574 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: They lock you in and they don't let you out. 575 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: One phone call call loon Star Transfer. They'll get you out. 576 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: They have an eight plus rating with a Better Business 577 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: Bureau for a reason. A family company that's helped over 578 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: sixteen thousand timeshare owners legally and permanently get out.

Hospitals, libraries, and community centers are threatened, intimidated. 583 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: Excuse me because they support LGBTQ children and families. We 584 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: have to speak out. We must stop the hate and 585 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: violence LGBTQ children and families. Earlier this week, we brought 586 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: you a story that Kirk Cameron were big fans of 587 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: his on the show. Obviously everyone knows who Kirk Cameron is. 588 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: He's also now an author. As you grow, I would recommend, 589 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: but Kirk Cameron wants to go to these same libraries 590 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: where the drag queens are reading to your children and 591 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: read books about Christian values. Man, how horrible and despicable 592 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: that must be. I know you're what you're saying. It's 593 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: not despicable, it's wonderful. Well, someone should tell the libraries 594 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: because they're not allowing Kirk in there to do so, 595 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: which is so odd. Joining me now at Kirk Cameron, Kirk, 596 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: why won't they allow your books in the libraries? Well, 597 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: Jesse as hoping maybe you could you can let me 598 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: know why. This is a book that's all about biblical 599 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: wisdom for children as they grow through the seasons of 600 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: their life and learning the value of the fruit of 601 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: the Spirit like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, 602 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: and self control. One of the libraries said that we 603 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: don't want your book here. We're a queer friendly library 604 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: and our messaging just doesn't align. They even told me 605 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: that I could fill out a form, I could reserve 606 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,240 Speaker 1: some space, but they would not be running my book. 607 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: Another said that they didn't want a book on biblical wisdom, 608 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: but they were hosting a gender name change clinic the 609 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: next day. So you tell me, why wouldn't they want 610 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: someone to come in and read a book to kids 611 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 1: that will help them process the mental illness, the cyber bullying, 612 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: the drug overdosing, and the school shootings with a book 613 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: that teaches them about kindness and self control. Well, Kirk, 614 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to be interested in your take on 615 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: my take on this because I've been talking about this 616 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: this week because they won't allow your book there, but 617 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: this is who they will allow in the library to 618 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: read to your children. I would like to do some 619 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: of this funny little dances from Fortnight? Does anybody know 620 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: any of the dances your Fortnight? Oh? Then you are 621 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: a credit to your community. But most of all, Michael 622 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: likes to twork. Now, does anybody in this room know 623 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: how to twork? All? Right? But it's quite important the story. 624 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: So I will just give you any quick dem What 625 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: you need to do is you just stand with your 626 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: feet on children with the part like so okay, I'll 627 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: show you up the side. Do you get better feet again? 628 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: And you're crouched down into this sort of positionally, it's 629 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: be a bump sticking out, don't you taking us all in? 630 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: And then you just move your pop up and down 631 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: like that and that's twerking. All right. I'm gonna try 632 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: to calm down here, but Kirk, let me ask you something. 633 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: I know that we were a Christian nation. I know 634 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: we were founded on Christianity. I'm not naive to our founding, 635 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: our founding fathers, the beliefs of this country, the history 636 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: of this country. I know. I know what kind of nation. 637 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: I know what I know what kind of nation I 638 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: want us to be or you want us to be. 639 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: But maybe that's not who we are anymore. Maybe we 640 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: have a new national religion now as much as it 641 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: maybe one you don't like or I don't like. I mean, entertainment, education, politics, corporations. 642 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: They're all celebrating the same religion and it's not yours. Kirk. 643 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,760 Speaker 1: I travel around the country and I talk to people 644 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: all over and I am finding people depressed. I'm finding 645 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: them inching toward the cliff of despair. And I want 646 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: to grab people by the lapels and I want to 647 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: shape them and say, men and women of faith and morality, 648 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: men and women who are concerned about what's happening in 649 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: our culture, we need to wake up. We have been asleep, 650 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: we have been unaware and unengaged. Now we're getting the 651 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: wake up. All the alarms are being sounded. If we 652 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: remain unengaged, we have no one to blame but ourselves. 653 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: And what I would say is that we as parents 654 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: and grandparents, this is happening on our watch, pastors and 655 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: elected officials. This is happening in our backyard. There is 656 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: no one else to blame but us. Benjamin Franklin said 657 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: when he was asked by a woman when they came 658 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: out of that Continental Congress, what did you give us, sir? 659 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: Did you give us a monarchy? Or did you give 660 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: us a free republic? And he said, a republic, madam, 661 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: if you can keep it. And that's the great challenge. 662 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: We're not doing the keeping part very well. And I 663 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,479 Speaker 1: believe that we are at a critical moment right now. 664 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: And we must go back to our original principles. It's 665 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: mission critical we get back to as Ron Reagan said. 666 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: He said, you know, people would have us decide whether 667 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: we're going to go right or left politically, he said, 668 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: I don't think there is such a thing as right 669 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: or left. There's only an up or down, either up 670 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: to man's age old dream of maximum individual liberty under 671 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: law and the eternal rules of right, or down to 672 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: the anti keep of totalitarianism. And if anyone's asking you 673 00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: to exchange your freedoms for safety, we're on that downward trajectory. 674 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: And I would add, if parents are taking their children 675 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: to drag Queen story hours or sending their children to 676 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: government run school systems that are undermining all your faith 677 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: and all your morality, it's no one else's fault but 678 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: our own. That's so true. I agree a thousand percent. 679 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: I want to know why we got so complacent and soft. 680 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 1: I have a theory. My theory is this country was 681 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: so welcoming to Christians because it was founded by Christians, 682 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: that Christianity in America frankly got fat and soft and weak, 683 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 1: whereas other nations where you're having a Bible study in 684 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: a dark basement in China, for fear of discovery, they 685 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: operate a little bit differently. We were allowed to be 686 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: soft and weak, and now that's what we are. Yeah, 687 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. I think that's human nature. 688 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,760 Speaker 1: And when we think about how this country was founded. 689 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: I did a whole documentary retracing the escape root of 690 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: the Pilgrims. And the Pilgrims were not just these these 691 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,479 Speaker 1: little religious fuddy duddies with big black hats and belt 692 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: buckles on their shoes, carrying turkey guns. These were the 693 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: out of the box, freethinking, radical, adventurous, brave hearts of 694 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 1: their day. And they were meeting in underground Bible studies 695 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: by candlelight under the horse stables. For fear of being 696 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: discovered by the king and his army. They were chased 697 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: out of town and they came across the Atlantic Ocean, 698 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: and they established the Mayflower Compact, which becomes the template 699 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: for the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But what 700 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 1: happens in many generations is just as you said, we 701 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: get prosperous. All the blessing comes because the root was 702 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: so healthy, the tree was so strong, and now the 703 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: fruit of liberties so sweet that people just sort of 704 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: kick back in the shade of that tree, and they 705 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: neglect to nourish the root of faith and morality and 706 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: the application of God's word to civil government as well 707 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: as they're personal in church life. And when you do that, 708 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: the tree gets sick. It will eventually fall over and 709 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: it will die. So our job is to begin nourishing 710 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: the route while we have time, and this national amnesia 711 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: has to be replaced with a return to our deeply 712 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: held religious beliefs and Christian heritage. That's the only reason 713 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: we have the freedoms to do what we do politically, economically, spiritually, morally, 714 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: and educationally, and other people of other persuasions have the 715 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: freedom to live here. Tell me about as you Grow. 716 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: As you Grow is well, it's the brand new children's 717 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: book that I wrote, And as you mentioned, I wanted 718 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: to teach kids about the fruit of the Spirit. And 719 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: when I wanted to do this public reading in a library, 720 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: I was denied by over fifty woke libraries who have 721 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: hosted drag Queen's Story hours. And what I love to 722 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: see is that as this story's developed, moms and dad's 723 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: grand parents and librarians are speaking up. In fact, they're 724 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: flooding our website wanting the book and to host their 725 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: own story hour. So this is what we need. Engagement. 726 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: We need people to get active, and I'm looking forward 727 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: to going to these libraries that have turned me down. 728 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: I've sent them a public letter you can read it 729 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: at Brave books dot com asking them to reconsider. I 730 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: sent them a free copy of the book to keep 731 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: as a gift and letting them know that the value 732 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: of freedom of speech and sharing our viewpoints is essential 733 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: to this country. And if they double down and they 734 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: continue to exclude a viewpoint that they don't like, I'm 735 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: prepared to exercise my constitutional rights in court. Outstanding the 736 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: book is as you grow, you want to stick it 737 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: back to these people a great gift for kids, families, 738 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: maybe organize something of your own. Highly recommend giving it 739 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 1: as you grow. Kirk, thank you, my brother. I appreciate you. 740 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: Thanks Jesse.

Coming home and I 760 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: see they're out back playing, and then I hold the 761 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: ice cream up to the window so they can see 762 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: I got some, and they come running to the door 763 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: and I lock it and then I start eating it 764 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: right in front of them. You can't by joy like 765 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: that anywhere. So when I see other parents harassing their children, 766 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: I enjoy it.
