1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: On this episode of newts World. Critical race theory continues 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: to permeate our classrooms and infect our children's minds without 3 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: rageous ideas about America's history, but a growing number of 4 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: Americans are standing up to fight back against its false 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: tenets and demand its removal from K through twelve education. 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: At the forefront of this patriotic effort is seventeen seventy 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: six Action, an advocacy group committed to the vital work 8 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: of restoring honest and unifying education in public schools throughout 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: the nation. The group's candidate pledge has garnered national attention 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: in recent weeks for its emphasis on America's values and 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: its vow to eradicate divisive race and gender based ideologies 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: such as CRT from America's schools. I'm really pleased to 13 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: welcome my guests, Adam Waldeck in seventeen seventy six Action. Adam, 14 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, Thanks for having me nude. 15 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. I do want to share with all of 16 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: our listeners that I have a special affection for Adam. 17 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: He was our national coalitions director in my twenty twelve campaign, 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: and he was the South Carolina state director when I 19 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: won my biggest primary victory that year. Adam is the 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: president of seventeen seventy six Action, and that group defines 21 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: itself as launched to quote combat anti American indoctrination and 22 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: k through twelve schools. I just wanted everyone to know 23 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: that I am interviewing somebody who I regarded a close 24 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: personal friend, I'm very proud of, and who I think 25 00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: is doing historic work in helping knit together citizens across 26 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: the country who are really really concerned about the kind 27 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: of anti American indoctrination that's happening in our schools. So 28 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: I'm very curious, and you've done many things since our 29 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: campaign back in twenty twelve, why did you decide to 30 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: start seventeen seventy six Action and what is the primary focus. 31 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: I very much appreciate you having me on. I would say, 32 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: really the same reason why I love working with you 33 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: for so long is I care deeply about the country, 34 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: and I believe very strongly in the principles that we 35 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: were founded upon. And there's been this very aggressive movement 36 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: to not just have arguments over what are the best 37 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: tax rates, for example, but whether or not fundamentally we're 38 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: a good nation and whether we believe in our founding principles, 39 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: and so it's not like that whole thing is necessarily new, 40 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: but it's really kind of been put on steroids in 41 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: the last number of years, particularly when it comes to 42 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: K through twelve education. A lot of people kind of 43 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: have known that there's a lot of nutty stuff going 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: on in college and universities, but K through twelve is 45 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: kind of a whole different animal, and I think COVID 46 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: really changed a lot of things, particularly, I mean the 47 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: amount of parents that we've talked to that, you know, 48 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: they kind of sent their kids off to school, they 49 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: kind of trusted that they were being taught normal things 50 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: like math and science, and then all of a sudden 51 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: they hear what they're being taught in the house and 52 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: they're just horrified. And so I was very happy when 53 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: President Trump announced his seventeen seventy six commission. I thought 54 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 1: it was exactly the right move and the right direction, 55 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: and just seeing how that was attacked immediately as being 56 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: some sort of a racist thing, which, you know, anything 57 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: you don't like is now racist. And then when President 58 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: Biden came in, a president is very strategic, I would 59 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: think about what they do on their first day. It's 60 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: a signal that they're trying to send and by dismantling 61 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: that commission on day one, I just thought that that 62 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: was like a slap in the face, and it showed 63 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: that there was really no interest in trying to govern 64 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: in a way that brought people together from all across 65 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: the spectrum. And so at that time there started to 66 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: be some articles popping up a lot about parents who 67 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: were getting together quietly talking to one another in groups, 68 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: like it was some sort of underground movement in East 69 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Germany where they were talking about the concerns about what 70 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: was being done in schools, and we thought, there really 71 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: needs to be an organization out there that's just going 72 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: to go and just tell I think the vast majority 73 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: of normal parents it's okay to be against this, it's 74 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: okay to speak out and just go and just wage 75 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: that fight. And so the focus was really not so 76 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: much on trying to diagnose the problem, but what are 77 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: we going to do about it? If there's a school 78 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: board in Indiana, for example, and they're pushing the stuff 79 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: what can be done? What can be done right now? 80 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: And that's really kind of where it came from, and 81 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: that's why the organization was launched back in March. So 82 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: part of the thing that fascinates about this is that 83 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: you do now have I think partially because they went 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: to teaching virtually and all of a sudden, parents were 85 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: seeing what their children were being taught, in many cases 86 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: were horrified. And you have a pretty substantial now Parents movement. 87 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: When parents who listen to us today want to get involved, 88 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: are there places they can go to learn how to 89 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: run for school board or to learn how to be effective. Yes. 90 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: One of the things that I did with you back 91 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine ten was we sort of 92 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: did a lot of work within what was then the 93 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: very beginnings of the Tea Party movement. There's a lot 94 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: of parallels I think in sort of this ground up 95 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: movement of citizens getting involved and trying to figure out 96 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: what to do. There's a lot of parallels, and there's 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: a lot of sprouting up of different groups that are 98 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: focusing on different things. That's not been a huge focus 99 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: of ours, at least not yet. The Leadership two is 100 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: one organization that's been around for a while. A lot 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: of their focus, I think has been on training. I've 102 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: seen some materials from them, so that could be one 103 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: place to check out one person that we're very proud 104 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: who has agreed to join our Board of Advisors as 105 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: a woman named Hannah Smith. She ran Southlake, Texas for 106 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: the school board there, and some of the listeners may 107 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: remember a couple months back when there was like a 108 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: huge seventy thirty not even close election for the school 109 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: board there that really the focus was against the critical 110 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: race theory. And so one of the things that we're 111 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: going to hope to do with her is to try 112 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: to take kind of these best practices that she learned 113 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: and help get them around all over the country for 114 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: people that might be interested in running for something like that. Well, 115 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: one of the things people can do in between elections 116 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: is get the candidates, including the incumbents, to sign a pledge. 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: And you've been working very hard on the seventeen seventy 118 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: six Pledge to Save our School to give people a 119 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: tool to evaluate candidates. What is the pledge and how 120 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: many elected officials are people running for office have signed it? Well, 121 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: thus far, we probably are soon going to be crossing 122 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: two hundred people signing. And that's all over the place. 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: That's from school board up to governor. There's a handful 124 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: of people that we've kind of had conversations with, but 125 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: a lot of these are just coming organically, which is 126 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: great to see. But the Pledge, I'd say it's about 127 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: half of our kind of focus moving forward. You asked 128 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: about what we're kind of working on, just so people 129 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: understand where this fits into this whole thing. Our main 130 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: goal at the end of the day is to make 131 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: sure that when voters go into the voting booth that 132 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: this is one of the issues of the forefront of 133 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: their mind. And a lot of that is ensuring that 134 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: candidates and elected officials that are currently in office care 135 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: enough to take a very clear position, and it's something 136 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to do also for parents who care, well, what can 137 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: you do well, you can go and get your relevant 138 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: candidates and elected officials to take a position and sign on. 139 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: So the pledge is really meant as a way for 140 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: parents and people who care about this issue to evaluate 141 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: their relevant officials and everybody touches education. I mean, it's 142 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: primarily state local, but there's even a role for the 143 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: federal government now and federal officeholders because there's going to 144 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: be a big fight coming up over grant money and 145 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: the kind of things that it's tied to. And so 146 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: our goal is to a have clarity and create accountability 147 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and transparency in terms of people that are running for office. 148 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: And then as an organization we go in and launch 149 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: paid campaigns, TV, ads, radio, all the usual stuff that 150 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: you would see to go and try to make sure 151 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: that the right things happen in these different places. It's 152 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: a very clear statement of beliefs. Anybody who wants to 153 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: read it, you can just go to go seventeen seventy 154 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: six dot org, slash pledge. It's a pretty basic statement 155 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: of beliefs that any patriotic American would just nod their 156 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: heads and agree with. And then it's committing people to 157 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: four very specific things that they will take concrete steps 158 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: to do in K through twelve public schools. I'll quickly 159 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: hit on them, but it's basically that they will take 160 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: concrete steps to restore honest, patriotic education that cultivates a 161 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: profound love for our country, promotes a curriculum that teaches 162 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: that all children are created equal, that they have equal 163 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: moral value under God, our Constitution, and the law, that 164 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: they'll prohibit any curriculum that pits students against one another, 165 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: and the basis of race or sex, and prevent schools 166 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: from politicizing education by prohibiting any curriculum that requires students 167 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: to protest and lobby during or after school. That last 168 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: piece I just want to emphasize because the CRT thing 169 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: has kind of been the shiny object. But what we 170 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: call action civics is the other piece of this. If 171 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: you think about CRT is sort of teaching students to 172 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: hate the country and the values that we were founded upon. 173 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: Action civics is really about turning them into social justice warriors. 174 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: And I think most people would normally think of civics 175 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: as learning about the founding of the country and our 176 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: founding documents, the Constitution, and things like that. This is 177 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: about having them actually not do that, but instead go 178 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: and protest on school time and get credit for it. 179 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: So it's sort of the action piece of it. Governor 180 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Nome in South Dakota, she was the first person to 181 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: sign on. She was then followed up by every Republican 182 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: candidate running for governor of Virginia. The nominee there is 183 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: now Glenn Yungcan, and he's been very good on this. 184 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: It's become a big issue in the race for governor 185 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: in Kansas, where one of the candidates has even been 186 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: going around the state holding events, getting school board members 187 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: to sign on publicly and reading it aloud, which is 188 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: pretty awesome. So it's just sort of something that we're 189 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: really trying to push because I think that a lot 190 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: of people don't necessarily know who their school board candidates 191 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: even are, and a lot of them are nonpartisans. So 192 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: even if you're saying a Republican or Democrat, you go 193 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: into the voting booth and it doesn't have the party affiliation. 194 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: So we want to be able to reread sort of 195 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: a dichotomy so that people can say, Okay, this is 196 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: the person who actually loves the country like I do, 197 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: and this is a person who isn't willing to say 198 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: that or is saying something very different. So that's the 199 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: goal of the pledge. You had mentioned Glenn Youngcan who 200 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: is a Publican nominee in Virginia who has taken the 201 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: pledge and actually has made the whole issue of racist 202 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: education a significant theme of his campaign, partially because Loudon 203 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: County has become such a hot point. Above this delay, 204 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: do you have an idea what Terry mccaulliff's position is 205 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: the Democratic former governor who's running yes, Terry mccalliff. His 206 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: position has been that this is all conspiracy theory made 207 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: up by Donald Trump and Glen Younkin, that it's not real. 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: So he's been saying that it's just made up, it's 209 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory that's not real. But for example, Virginia's 210 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Louden County Public Schools paid thirty four thousand dollars for 211 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: fifty five hours of critical race theory coaching and two 212 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: twenty A little hard to argue that that's not a fact. Well, 213 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: they've actually paid for a study to be done. I'm 214 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: blanking on the name of the company that they paid, 215 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: but it was actually about a half a million dollars. 216 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: This is what they do. And that's frankly, why we 217 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: don't have the words critical race theory in our pledge, 218 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: because the Left likes to play these semantic games where 219 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: unless a teacher is given a curriculum that says, here's 220 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: the lesson plan for critical race theory on Friday, August sixth, 221 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: unless it says that, they'll say, oh, it's not real, 222 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: but the fact is that the underlying stuff Israel. Or 223 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, it's just something that's hought in colleges. 224 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: It's just not true. They're trying to embed the stuff 225 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: within every aspect of the curriculum. This whole notion that 226 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: they're just trying to teach about racism and slavery, it's 227 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: just not the case. Even with the former superintendent of 228 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: the Loudon County Public Schools put out a statement and said, 229 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: you know, we're not specifically teaching critical race theory, but 230 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: we're teaching things that I don't know the exact quote, 231 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: but he basically says all the principles of critical race theory. Yes, 232 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: we are teaching that. And so what we did as 233 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: an organization is we pushed out text messages to about 234 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five thousand independent voters in Loudon County, 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: a northern Virginia area. And because we had just done 236 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: an interview with a number of the very outspoken parents 237 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: in Loudon County, and we did about a ten minute 238 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: video of just them talking about their experiences and what happened, 239 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: and so we put out a text that said, Terry 240 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: mccauliffe says that this is not real, but we thought 241 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: you should hear directly from these parents, and then people 242 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: got to watch it. And what we're trying to do 243 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: is show that to say that this is not real 244 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I would think if you were one of 245 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: the parents, you get sort of angry at the idea 246 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: that the thing you've actually seen being done to your 247 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: child that somehow you didn't see it. Now the side 248 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: of it is the left clearly is dug in. I mean, 249 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: the National Edgy Association has taken a position of fighting 250 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: against anybody who is opposed to a racist course. In 251 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: my mind, I think the whole course is essentially racism, 252 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: and in fact, the NAA adopted I think a fifty 253 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: thousand dollars measure to research the organization's attacking racist doing 254 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: anti racist work. Now, their idea of anti racist is 255 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: racist essentially teaches young people, you know that if you're white, 256 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: your inferior and you should feel guilty, and that everything 257 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: should be measured by skin color. It strikes me it's 258 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: amazing that it is the exact opposite of what Reverend 259 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Martin Muther King sought in his famous speech at the 260 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial, and he said that he looked forward to 261 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: a time when his children will be measured by the 262 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: content of their character, not the color of their skin. 263 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: And the left has come back and basically said, we 264 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: don't care about your character, We just want to know 265 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: what your skin color is. And I'm watching had across 266 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: the country in Fairfax County, Virginia, where they have destroyed 267 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: what was one of the best high schools in America 268 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: because they have eliminated performance as a criteria for getting in. 269 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't actually there was yielding too many whites. It 270 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: was yielding too many Asian Americans. And so you know, 271 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of the left, that's not an acceptable outcome, 272 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: which is all measured by skin color. It's literally a 273 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: reversion to a kind of racism that I thought we 274 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: spent the last half century trying to get away from. 275 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: Christian Alman was the first governor to sign the pledge, 276 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: but it's really gone further than I mean. Texas Governor 277 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott actually signed the House bill in Texas which 278 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: outlaws the teaching of critical race theory in the state 279 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: of Texas. Is that a model bill for the country 280 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: is And the one thing I would also say about 281 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: what he signed into law in Texas in regards to 282 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: our pledge. It was not just focused on critical race theory, 283 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: but it was also focused on action civics, and that's 284 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: why I definitely think that it is a model for 285 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: the country. We submitted a public letter calling on him 286 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: to sign it and talked about why we thought it 287 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: was the right thing to do, and it definitely is. 288 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: But what I would just say though, in regards to 289 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: these laws, because we just finished up a month long 290 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: campaign in New Hampshire in support of a bill there 291 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: that's now signed into law. These are huge victories, but 292 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: it does not mean that the work is done, not 293 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: even by a long shot. For anybody listening out there, 294 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: let's celebrate the notion of getting these laws passed, but 295 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: this needs to really be something that the focus remained 296 00:16:39,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: all the way down to the school board level. Well 297 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: if I remember quickly at them and correct me if 298 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: I got it wrong, But there was one state or 299 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: something like five thousand teachers signed a letter saying they 300 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't obey the law, that they were going to teach 301 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: racism no matter what the law said. Oh definitely, I 302 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: mean it just shows you how deep the rot I 303 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: think is all across the country, and it should be 304 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: a reminder to people on our side who believe in 305 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: the country and believe in our values that there is 306 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: a group of people out there that is extremely committed 307 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: to this and just because we pass a law doesn't 308 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: necessarily mean at all that the battle is over. But 309 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: the good news, I think is that there are a 310 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: lot of teachers out there who are on our side 311 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: who are disturbed by what's going on. We just have 312 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: to give them the moral support out there to let 313 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: them know that it's okay to speak up, that it's 314 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: okay for them. But right now you have some of 315 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: these teachers unions and things like that who are backing 316 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: these teachers, so they feel like if they come out 317 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: and they say these things and they say they're going 318 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: to push Ciart no matter what, they feel like they 319 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: have the support to keep going. And it's on us. 320 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: It's on our side to make sure that teachers who 321 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: are on the other side of the aisle who believe 322 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: in this country and think CRTs in saying that they 323 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: should feel the support to speak up as well, because 324 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: I do think at the end of the day, our 325 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,239 Speaker 1: numbers will be vastly greater than theirs, and we just 326 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: need to drown them. There's a teacher that I know 327 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: of that's going to be pretty outspoken on this who's 328 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: resigned over this, and she tells me that a lot 329 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: of the teachers that she knows they agree with her, 330 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: and they think this stuff is nuts and very very harmful, 331 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: and they're very uncomfortable with it, but they're afraid of 332 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: speaking out because, like you said, at the teacher's unions 333 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: are all backing this stuff. So for the teachers who 334 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: are in support of it, I think they probably have 335 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: no problem saying so because they're not afraid that they're 336 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: going to lose their jobs, which really just goes to 337 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: show you how deeply this sickness has sort of gotten 338 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: itself within the institution. No, it's remarkably like a communist 339 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: group think course, where if you don't think the right thing, 340 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: you need to apologize in public and confess in public 341 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: and beg people to forgive you for having had the 342 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: wrong thoughts. Two examples, just so our listeners will understand 343 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: that this is not something being made up, as the governor, 344 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: sorry mcauliff, would like you to believe. In Michigan, there's 345 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: an Education Advisory Counsels for a bunch of educators for 346 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who I think probably ranks as the 347 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: third or fourth worst governor in the country. They produced 348 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: a report called Social Justice and Anti Racist Resources and 349 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: head a link to an article that says, quote, everything 350 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: that happens today is racist, and the only question teachers 351 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: and students can ask is how much racism was in play. 352 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Let me repeat, everything that happens today is racist. This 353 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: has led, for example, to a serious proposal by the 354 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: Oregon Department of Education to eliminate mathematics on the grounds 355 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: that mathematics are an example of white Western superiority, and 356 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: therefore it's wrong to ask for a single answer. As 357 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, Adam, because you've been in my office when 358 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: Kosta I made a movie about John Paul the Second 359 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: called Nine Days to Change the World, about his pilgrimage 360 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: back to Poland after he became pope. The people of 361 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: Solidarity loved what we were doing so much the Great Union, 362 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: which had fought against the Soviets, that they gave me 363 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: an original wall poster handmaid that they had used in 364 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eighty one and has says in Polish for 365 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: Poland to remain Poland. Two plus two must always equal four. 366 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: And it goes back both to Orwell's nineteen eighty four, 367 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: where the torturer says to the citizen, you know two 368 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: plus two equals Would I tell you? If I tell 369 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: you it's five, it's five. If I tell you it's three, 370 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: it's three. It also go back to move, the great 371 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: Algerian French author, who said there are times when a 372 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: man can be killed for saying two plus two equals four. 373 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: And so you have this notion literally in several places. 374 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: The Oregon Department Education is the most obvious, but there 375 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: are several places now where there is a movement to 376 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: eliminate mathematics because it actually has real answers, and real 377 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: answers actually could be measured, and the goal of the 378 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: anti American left is to cease all measurement, which is 379 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: why you have, for example, the communist District Attorney of 380 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: San Francisco, who gave a speech recently and said, look, 381 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: if somebody commits robbery, maybe they were having a bad day, 382 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: maybe they felt anguish, maybe they had an imbalance from drugs. 383 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: But I don't think we should rush in to punish them, because, 384 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: after all, it's only property. And he goes on like 385 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: this about a whole series of things because in their world, 386 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: nobody's accountable. The other examples in Buffalo, New York, where 387 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: the school districts quote emancipation curriculum told students that quote 388 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: all white people play apart in perpetuating systemic racism. Eventually 389 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: it was removed because an investigative reporter founded and parents 390 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: got really angry. But think about this. You're a young kid. 391 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: You go to school and you're told all white people 392 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: play apart and perpetuating systemic racism. Now, if you're white, 393 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: you feel guilt ridden, and if you're black, you feel 394 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: vindicated and hating whites because you've now just been told 395 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: all of them engage in systemic racism. So now, given 396 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: all this, somebody listens to you today on our podcast 397 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: and says, you know, I'd really like to be part 398 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: of seventeen seventy six Action and be part of this fight. 399 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: What do they do? How can they find you, and 400 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: how can they be involved with you? The website seventeen 401 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: seventy six Action dot org, so anyone can go there 402 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: can sign up to join our efforts. One of the 403 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: things that we were doing on a very regular basis 404 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: is just putting out information so people can stay informed, 405 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: and that's a big piece of it. One of the 406 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: things that we're building right now. We're building a system 407 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: so that any parent in America can basically go on 408 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: and put in where they are, and then you can 409 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: see all of your relevant officials down to the school 410 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: board level not only where they stand on this, but 411 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: then have the ability to go and lobby them directly 412 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: to get them to sign on. So that's one of 413 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: those things that we would love people's help to try 414 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: to get people on the record. And I would just say, 415 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: aside from that, keeping an eye on what's going on 416 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: in There's so many stories now that you can read 417 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: online about what's going on in local school boards. Go 418 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: to your meetings, see what they're talking about, try to 419 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: get them to answer questions, try to get them to 420 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: take a position, and then just keep in touch with us, 421 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: let us know if there's something that's going on that's 422 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: particularly egregious because we can't really be everywhere. That's why 423 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: we're relying on I think activists on the ground to 424 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: help with the pledge, but we want to be sort 425 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: of air cover in a way for parents so that 426 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: when there's something that's going on that's particularly awful, we 427 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: want to come in as an organization and launch initiatives 428 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: in those states or in those localities. And so that's 429 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: what where our focus will be. And then very very 430 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: soon we're gonna be starting to hold some events around 431 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: the country to keep the drum beet going. I want 432 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: to thank you for your leadership and your courage and 433 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: your commitment to a very very important part of the 434 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: cultural fight that we're in with the anti Americans to 435 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: try to make sure that our civilization and our country survive. 436 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: And I think what you're doing really does matter. I 437 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: encourage everyone to sign the seventeen seventy six Actions Citizen 438 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Pledge to stop the anti American indoctrination of our children 439 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: and grandchildren the nuts world.

All 441 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: of this will be on our show page. I also 442 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: when I encourage everybody to understand how really serious this is. 443 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: You cannot have a healthy country that teaches its children 444 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: to hate the country. And I thought it was very interesting, 445 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: despite the coverage that one or two athletes got at 446 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: the Olympics, the overwhelming majority of medal winners at the 447 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: Olympics who are American said they love America, they are 448 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: thrilled to represent America, and they thought it was a 449 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: great honor. Of course, that's not exactly the message that 450 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: the left wing media wants to communicate, but I thought 451 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: it was very heartening, and I think those are the 452 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: kind of folks who are going to sign up with 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: seventeen seventy six Action.
