	Hey guys, what's going on?
	Welcome to another episode of Triggered.
	It's Thursday, April 20th, also known as 4-20 for you stoners, and thanks for joining.
	I really appreciate you guys.
	Just in a few moments, we're gonna sit down with former Trump DOJ official and the executive director of Fight for Schools.
	Ian Pryor.
	This is a huge one for me.
	As a parent of five young children, Ian's literally one of the most important America First voices in education, has been at the epicenter of standing up against left-wing indoctrination at our schools.
	Whether that's the insanity that they're jamming down their throats with the woke, ESG, DEI, you know,
	BLM, nonsense, or the overall lack of basic education, stuff like math and reading, you know, all that stuff that they're too focused on the woke stuff for, you can't do that.
	But to the other stuff that's actually much more serious, the cover-ups of some of the sexual assaults that have happened because we're allowing biological men to share locker rooms with women.
	Or allowing biological men to compete against women's sports.
	Ian's one of the guys that's on the forefront of the fight against that nonsense.
	He lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, the bluest of the blue, where a lot of this insanity comes from.
	And you don't
	Just have to sit back and take it, right?
	Being the leader of the charge may not be for everyone, but you can learn what you can do, where you can see the hidden agenda that's just been so subversive, where they're putting it in these school boards, how you can help other people run for those same boards so that we can save our children, whether it's their minds or their innocence.
	from the craziness of the radical left today.
	So this is going to be an important one for anyone that is a parent, for anyone that plans on having children, for anyone that wants to preserve everything.
	That the next generation is going to bring our country because that stuff, guys, is on the table.
	It is at risk and they're doing whatever they can to destroy it.
	But before we do that, I want to give you a rundown of some of the top headlines of the week.
	Donald Trump is getting endorsement after endorsement.
	This week, so many people from Florida itself came out.
	Fighters,
	Like, today, Michael Waltz announced his endorsement of Donald Trump.
	Earlier this week, Congressman Greg Stubbe and John Rutherford and Brian Amast also made it clear that they're all in for Donald Trump in 2024, that Trump is the only guy to be able to do it.
	And that's, guys, in addition to the America First fighters from Florida who've already endorsed Donald Trump, like Matt Gaetz
	Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds, and Cory Mills.
	So that's going well and we want it to go well because we need to do this soon.
	What we don't want is infighting that's going to go on for months and years, depleting all the resources, right?
	You know who I'm talking about and you know the billionaire donors that are going to be supporting them.
	We need to make sure we have that money to take on the radical Biden administration.
	We need to be able to take on their
	Dozens of billionaire donors, the Soroses of the world, who are going to keep their ballot harvesting operation.
	We need to make sure we're playing that game.
	So these members of Congress get it.
	They know what we know.
	That Donald Trump's the only America First candidate and he's fully committed to standing up for the forgotten men and women of this country.
	He's not the swamp.
	He's not controlled by the opposition that's taking advice from people like Paul Ryan and Karl Rove and the lunatics out there.
	He's the guy that can fight.
	And get this, Congressman Lance Gooden, who by the way you should check out his Twitter feed because it's one of the more lit congressional Twitter accounts out there from Texas, also announced his Trump endorsement right after he had a meeting with Ron DeSantis.
	He literally said, I quote, I met with Governor DeSantis and while he's done commendable work in Florida, there's no doubt in my mind that President Trump is the only leader who can save America from the leftist onslaught we're currently facing.
	It seems like the only people who are really behind DeSantis at this point are the ones who haven't been around him all that much because these lawmakers know that Donald Trump is the only one who can actually fix the mess, who isn't beholden to the people who have created these messes.
	And sadly, the economic warning signs, guys, are only getting worse.
	Think about this.
	Nearly 7 in 10 Americans now have a negative view of the economy.
	In a new poll, a whopping 69% of Americans view the economy negatively, according to a poll from CNBC.
	That's the highest level
	It's ever been in the polls 17-year history, right?
	So that's including the disaster of 08?
	Like it's worse than that?
	And by the way, if you look at the stats, it probably is.
	Two-thirds of those surveyed said their wages are falling behind the level of inflation.
	Now, our media
	Big tech, no one's really talking about it.
	You can't, because they're the marketing arm of the Biden administration, who has nothing going for it.
	So they'll just, they just won't talk about it.
	And that's not all, because probably not exactly the most conservative guy in the world, but CEO of Bank of America, Brian Moynihan, said this week that everything, everything points to a recession this year.
	Remember, guys, we have inflation out the wazoo.
	We have reckless spending.
	See?
	Ukraine.
	We have interest rate hikes, growing fears around the housing market, layoffs at major companies like Amazon, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, and more.
	It's a brutal economic storm.
	Okay, and it's not stopping there, right?
	Banks aren't lending to car dealerships anymore.
	There's a credit crunch.
	People are pulling their money out of banks, and when they're doing that, that stops the banks from being able to leverage that money in the economy.
	Either way, that's scary, and it spells a disaster.
	And by the way, guys, it's tax week.
	So I hope that you all paid your taxes so we can keep supporting and creating the next billionaire oligarch class in the Ukraine.
	Vladimir Zelensky is depending on your money, folks, so make sure we get it because we need to protect their borders.
	We can't protect our own.
	Why would we do that?
	We can let drugs and fentanyl and human traffickers and sex traffickers come across our borders with reckless abandon.
	We can't finish that wall for $3 billion.
	But we're in for $130 and the first Patriot missiles just got there this week.
	So you know there's a lot more than the $130 billion going to Ukraine.
	So make sure, guys, as everything gets tighter,
	As it costs you more at the pump and in the grocery stores and as your mortgages reset and you can't get new financing because the banks have restricted, remember that your hard-earned dollars are going to help Ukraine.
	Remember when Biden said he's going to be paying and making sure that we take care of their pensions?
	Your pensions?
	Screw you!
	You're Americans.
	It's your money.
	We can use it for whatever we want, but it's not going to be for you, folks.
	You think it's getting worse?
	Guess what?
	Ford announced this week that its new Lincoln Nautilus will be imported from China!
	From China.
	Ford Motor Company now is importing cars from China.
	Making it the first time Lincoln will import a vehicle from China.
	Currently they're making it in Canada.
	I mean, they're lunatics these days as well, certainly politically.
	And yet, now they're turning to an American adversary to make our vehicles.
	What could go wrong?
	Now, ideally, they'd be making the vehicle in America, and China is pretty much the worst possible option as an alternative.
	But again, guys, all the warning signs are starting to point us
	in the right direction of disaster.
	It's why I talk so much about wanting you prepared.
	It's why I'm psyched that companies like Gold Co.
	are advertising with a show like this, because the importance of diversifying cannot be underscored enough right now.
	Again, look at the signs.
	Check out my Twitter feed or Truth Feed, where I'll talk about the economists that are talking about how bad it is, the few guys that actually have the guts to actually call out what's going on.
	Because remember, the banks,
	The other reason you better pay your taxes this week?
	You know, the banks are gonna...
	Cover their gambling debts with your hard-earned money.
	You know they're going to get the bailout.
	Now you, you're on your own again.
	There's a consistent theme here, folks.
	But that's why you want to make sure you're diversified.
	You're not going to play around with the lunatics that are in charge.
	You're not going to let that volatility and the runs on the banks and the banks that have collapsed in the last month.
	So go check out DonJrGold.com just to learn a little bit more about it.
	I'll put the link down in the bottom of the show that you can go check it out for yourself.
	But just learn.
	At least that way you've seen both sides of the story.
	You can check it out for yourself.
	Make your own decisions.
	But man, it feels like we're in a scary place.
	And the Biden White House has no clue how to manage it.
	The economy is going to hell and they have no idea what they're doing.
	And anyone who's been watching for the last few years knows that.
	Frankly, a lot of the establishment Republicans don't either.
	It was under Donald Trump that we saw strong wage growth, real wage growth, for like the first time perhaps in our lifetimes.
	You had energy independence, they blew that, for like
	Their cult of environmental whatever, you know, meanwhile then we're getting much dirtier oil from Venezuela and Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror.
	Minor details, folks, but screw our energy independence.
	Middle class tax relief, we had that under Trump, and low inflation, all gone.
	America First, folks, is the only way out of this disaster.
	But rather than be honest about any of it, the unhinged left-wing media doubles down on their smear tactics.
	For example, on The View, guest host and actress Patti LuPone compared the Christian right to the Taliban.
	To the Taliban, folks, watch for yourselves.
	But I have said this before and it's been in print.
	I don't know what the difference between our Christian right and the Taliban is.
	I have no idea what the difference is.
	You're not the only person who's said that.
	I just don't know what the difference is.
	What's happening in this country right now in the name of religion is so dangerous.
	And it's not this country.
	It's not America as far as... And you know, when I was growing up, I didn't know America was an experiment.
	They never said America was an experiment.
	When we were growing up, it was a democracy.
	And now, it's in, you know, such danger.
	It's so upsetting.
	It's so upsetting.
	And it's upsetting to hear the loudest voices and not any kind of pushback to the loudest voices that are the extremity in this country.
	Well that's why we need people like you.
	That's why we need people like you.
	Let's face it, folks.
	I don't know that anyone has really gone to The View for, like, an intelligent take in probably the entire existence of the show.
	If you want to actually watch something fun, go back and search.
	When Kimberly and I went on The View, when I did my Triggered book tour, it was sort of epic.
	It was their 5,000th episode.
	They had me on there to talk about my book, and of course they didn't ask me any questions about my book, but
	I came prepared, and the idiots at The View were not quite ready for it.
	So if you want some entertaining stuff to watch over the weekend, go check that out.
	But seriously, in America, in 2023, comparing Christians, like generally Christians, like probably what, 60% of the country?
	Who were, by the way, just gunned down by the trans-radical lunatic in Nashville last weekend, right?
	Notice, they're not going to say anything about what's going on in America with that radical agenda.
	They won't even call them the terrorists that they are.
	They won't call them the most privileged class in the country.
	Because if you're trans, you can just do whatever you want!
	There's a different set of rules for everyone else.
	If you're trans, what difference does it make?
	Oh, you have total privilege, total authority to do whatever you want, and no one can say anything.
	But these same clowns at The View didn't say anything about the trans radicals who seem to be doing a lot of killing these days, but they can compare Christians
	To the Taliban.
	The Taliban, who actually threw like gay people off of buildings and has a zero tolerance for any of the stuff that the left is so into.
	Hard to believe.
	It's hard to believe.
	But again, it's why
	No one should get their news from The View.
	It's why basically people like myself have fun dunking on every take that they have because it's so freaking stupid.
	Again, you wanna see how stupid they are, just go back and watch the episode I did when I went on The View.
	Because we actually want to get in the mix.
	We actually are capable of having that dialogue and debating those ideas.
	They, not so much.
	So you can have Hollywood idiots like Patti LuPone
	Call good, God-fearing, Christian Americans indistinguishable from the Taliban.
	But it's also, guys, why this episode is so important to me.
	Because this is the extreme left-wing lunacy that's infecting our media, and more importantly, it's infecting our schools.
	I mean, that's the real pandemic.
	This shit is going into our schools.
	They're manipulating our children, the most impressionable people in the world.
	They're not actually teaching them math.
	There's entire schools in a lot of these Democrat districts that the entire graduating class are not proficient in reading or math.
	But that doesn't matter.
	We were able to make sure that they knew there were 9,476 genders, and that's gonna be all the education they need.
	They're gonna make a great living doing that.
	No, they won't.
	They're going to get put on a government program and be Democrat voters for life.
	They're going to mutilate their bodies permanently.
	And when they come back, there'll be no consequence to the doctors or the teachers.
	Rainbow-haired freaks that pushed it on those kids.
	No, no, no.
	It was the new thing.
	It was so cool.
	We need to lay out a plan to stop it.
	And Ian Pryor, our guest who will be on here in a few minutes, can tell us all about that.
	Because again, we need to be in this fight.
	If we don't win that fight, folks, there's no actual hope.
	So watch and learn how you can participate.
	Whether it's at the highest level and running for school boards and actually being vocal, we must become unafraid and protect our kids.
	But before we get there, our last story.
	An IRS whistleblower tells Congress that Hunter Biden's probe is being mishandled.
	I am shocked, folks!
	I am shocked that the DOJ and that the government officials investigating the corrupt, crackhead, whoremongering son
	Of the Commander-in-Chief of the United States.
	I'm shocked to hear that he's getting special treatment.
	I wonder why!
	I mean, when you look at all the smoke, when you look at all the things he's done, and you say, imagine if it was Donald Trump Jr.
	I'd have been in jail already, and yet...
	Nothing's happening.
	So an IRS whistleblower wrote a letter to Congress saying that he wants to come forward to reveal a cover-up in the tax evasion probe into Hunter Biden.
	According to his attorney, the unnamed whistleblower is a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent who has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high-profile controversial subject since early 2020.
	The whistleblower reportedly wants to expose preferential treatment and false testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee.
	Now that one's interesting.
	Having done about 50 hours of congressional
	Testimony?
	Where they were looking to throw me into jail for anything?
	Where they could ask you the same question 17,000 times hoping that maybe it changed your mind or say something a little bit different that they get you for perjury?
	This one's gonna be interesting because we've been talking how we don't have equal justice under our laws and this will probably be yet another
	Proof of that.
	This will be the only whistleblower that Democrats don't love.
	Remember, they love, they love their whistleblowers.
	When it's against conservatives, when it's against Trump, I have a feeling this whistleblower won't be given that same treatment.
	So let's watch this one closely.
	But let's make sure we call it out and let's make sure we also hold Republicans accountable.
	Okay?
	So that they see that we expect them to act.
	That we expect them to be treated the way we've been treated.
	Because that's not what's been happening right now, folks.
	So...
	Let's get to Ian Pryor, and I also want to quickly thank our advertisers, and I think you're going to really like this one.
	Thanks a lot, guys.
	Welcome to another episode of Triggered, and we have a really outstanding guest for today.
	Ian Pryor is joining us.
	Ian's a former Trump DOJ official.
	He lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, the heart
	of the lunatic left and the fight against our children's and the radicalization of our kids in schools, and he helped lead that fight against the leftists.
	He's the author of Parents of the World Unite, How to Save Our Schools from the Left's Radical Agenda.
	He's also the executive director of Fight for Schools, and is just someone who's on the forefront of that issue and combating the leftists and their indoctrination and the attempted takeover of our children.
	You're gonna really like this one, but first I want to thank our sponsors who make the show possible.
	Like I keep saying guys, you don't have to choose between what you believe and what you want to buy.
	It's why I'm excited about a brand new sponsor, Blackout Coffee.
	You're probably gonna drink coffee.
	Just like you're gonna have a cell phone and you can support Patriot Mobile or those who are trying to cancel you.
	And if you do, support a brand that aligns with your conservative values.
	It's American-made, it's family-owned, and they support our values.
	From sourcing the beans to roasting and the process that that entails, not exactly easy, and to the customer support and shipping, Blackout Coffee will never compromise on taste or quality.
	And they do it all while supporting freedom-loving values.

	That's blackoutcoffee.com slash John Jr.
	And guys, I'll keep saying it.
	Support the companies who support you.
	So support Blackout Coffee.

	When you see the storm brewing, do something about it.
	Be prepared.
	So owning tangible, physical, and inflation hedging gold and silver can help diversify your portfolio and protect you from the lunatics that are making the decisions today.

	I think you'll like it.
	I think it can help you hedge against the insanity that we're seeing.
	And now we're going to sit down with Ian Pryor.
	Guys, you're gonna like this one.
	In studio today, we have Ian Pryor.
	Ian is a former DOJ official.
	He lives in the heart of...
	Woke, Woke, Inc., Loudoun County, Virginia, right outside of D.C.
	That's where, I'd say, the cause of the vast majority of America's political problems stem from, as well as sort of the driving force of Woke, B.S.
	He's written a book, Parents of the World Unite, as a leader in the forefront and the fight to save our schools from the left's radical agenda.
	And he also is the Executive Director of FART for Schools.
	So, Ian, tell us, what the hell is going on?
	How did it come so quickly?
	You know, I don't think it necessarily came quickly, right?
	I think this is something that's been going on for years, right?
	You can go back to the Carter administration centralizing power under the Department of Education.
	But people didn't really catch on until they were forced to look at it, right?
	And when were they forced to look at it?
	Starting in March of 2020, when COVID happens.
	People are at home with their computers.
	They're sitting next to their kids with their Chromebooks and looking at what's going on.
	And at that point in time, it was really a lot of the race, critical race theory issues, right?
	Where it's, oh, you're an oppressor or you're oppressed.
	And I think parents are like, well, what's going on here?
	And then schools stayed closed in a lot of places.
	Parents wanted schools open.
	The politicians were like, no, no, no, no, we're going to keep schools closed here.
	Even though, you know, in other parts of the country, they were able to safely reopen.
	And so you had these two sort of unifying movements that came together.
	Throw in, you know, an election in 2021 in Virginia, where you have a spotlight is on Virginia.
	And really in Northern Virginia, things just exploded.
	And we really peeled back the curtain on what was going on in our schools.
	I guess it's no different than sort of everything else that we've sort of discovered, right?
	Like I've been talking about the Ukraine war and of course we've been waging a war in Ukraine unbeknownst to the American public.
	This is the stuff that they wanted to do and it sort of took, like all the other issues, it's almost like it took Donald Trump and like Trump derangement syndrome to actually say the quiet parts out loud.
	So I imagine the school issue, like everything else that we're discovering about our country that we didn't believe could ever happen in our country,
	Was probably going on for quite some time.
	It just took that cataclysmic event to actually have it all come out.
	Yeah, it did.
	And you talk about Trump derangement syndrome.
	Well, you know, once Biden gets elected, the far left activists need a new derangement syndrome, right?
	And they just start looking at their neighbors and saying, well, this person, you know, isn't in favor of, you know, biological boys using bathrooms.
	So we're going to obsess over this person because
	They're effective, or they speak at school board meetings, and they just demonize everybody.
	It doesn't matter if you're president of the United States, if you're a congressman, or you're somebody down the street.
	They're going to try and demonize you if you do not believe what they believe, raise your kids the way they want you to, say the things that they want you to.
	That's really what exploded, I think, in Virginia, but now we're seeing it all across the country.
	And I guess that's sort of, I mean, the good and the bad of every situation, right?
	The shutting down schools theoretically for our children's education was a total disaster, right?
	I mean, like, you know, not that they were doing good at math or reading or basic stuff that you'd learn in schools anyway because they're being indoctrinated, but it actually, the good of it was
	That by the left continuing to do the lockdowns and listening to the, you know, teachers unions and just running with their narrative, it actually gave us time and parents time to actually figure this out.
	So what they thought they were doing themselves a big favor probably was
	You know, a kill shot to the insanity of their agenda and actually, you know, bringing that to the light of the people.
	Yeah, we saw that really in Loudoun County, where when schools were closed, you had this group of parents that were really pushing to reopen schools and they organized.
	I mean, they really were sort of the prototype of what we really developed in 2021.
	And so by the time we get into local cancel culture issues, critical race theory, sexual assault cover-ups, we already had the germ of an organization in place, and it was really easy to kind of bring everybody together.
	We were trying to remove school board meetings, which required getting signatures.
	We got like 25,000 signatures over the course of six months, and I think changed the course of history in Virginia as a result.
	Well, I've said that.
	I mean, for people, you know, a big tenant of the show, how do we fight back?
	How do we get involved?
	And the thing I've said for months now, and probably, you know, years, but certainly months since we started this show, is, like, get on your school board.
	Like, you don't have to run for Senate.
	You don't have to run for Congress.
	But, like, if you have kids, get on your school board.
	Because it was always fascinating to watch how many
	Of these school board people that don't even have children.
	Right.
	Like, they have no interest in having children, but they do want to control your children.
	And they want to have the ultimate say.
	And that continues to happen as they carve out parents and their rights.
	And people who showed up to those meetings were labeled by our DOJ and FBI as domestic terrorists.
	I mean, it's insanity.
	Right now you have three people that run for school boards.
	You've got your dyed-in-the-wool activists.
	They want to go in there and change policy.
	They want to make sure that kids go to school and tell their advisor that they want to be a girl now and parents don't know.
	Then you've got the political climbers on the left.
	This is my way to the next position.
	You know, State Senate or House of Delegates and make a political career out of it.
	Then you have people that are going there to do the right thing.
	The problem with that third group is that they're not necessarily, you know, tough enough to deal with those other two that beat them down to the point where they become ineffective.
	So you need that third group, but you need people there saying, I'm going to go there and I'm going to break some things.
	Yeah, I mean, because there's a social consequence to taking on these things.
	Even though, I mean, I feel like at any other point in history, three years ago, we'd think we're being punked right now.
	We'll talk about the Washington State Bill in a second, but every day there's something else that is like, no way.
	It can't be real, and yet it is.
	I know actually one of the sponsors of this show, Patriot Mobile, they funded a school board race down outside of Dallas and won and took control of this leftist, insane board.
	And put people in there who just believed and shared the values of the rest of the constituency of that neighborhood.
	And, I mean, you know, I think it was CNBC and, like, the big news agencies, like, went after it.
	They're promoting racism and misogyny and, you know, whatever the ists.
	You know, you're always something.
	It doesn't have to do anything with the topic, but, like, it was a punishable offense to actually elect people to a school board that share the value of the parents of that school district and
	They went after even the corporate sponsors who helped make that happen.
	Again, they're a sponsor of the show, so they have some guts and they're willing to be in that fight, but that's how bad it's gotten.
	So for the average guy who can't withstand that, it's not easy, but we need fighters in there more than anywhere.
	Yeah, and you see from the left that they don't want to debate ideas, right?
	You talk about the isms.
	They're gonna label you.
	They're gonna attack you personally.
	The First Amendment is not sacred to them, right?
	I mean, they do not want to have the marketplace of ideas where, all right, you've got a policy.
	We don't agree with that policy?
	Let's debate it.
	Let's have a fair debate.
	Instead, they'll gaslight you.
	They'll say, we're not teaching critical race theory.
	Well, no one ever says you're teaching it like a class.
	Yeah.
	But it's in everything that you do.
	It's in your policies and how you teach.
	Well, and that's what, there's like a subversive curriculum, right?
	I saw this with my kids in New York.
	One of my kids, you know, at a school, you know, very high-end, very expensive, private school in New York.
	One of these things that, you know, the New York parents, you know, kill to get their kids into those schools.
	Uh, she was younger, but we had some friends, uh, you know, through politics, one of, you know, a few conservatives in New York, uh, and the mom was talking to the kids one day, and finds out they had, like, a one-hour trans curriculum, and this is, like,
	This is like 1516, right?
	Like this is prior to even that, so it's been going on longer than we believe, but there is an entire trans curriculum for like an hour a day at this school, and it was the only class that had no homework.
	Right?
	They weren't going to let the kids take it home.
	So the mother, sort of an actually tough sort of badass woman, she goes around and speaks to all the other parents, and they're outraged, and they're all upset.
	She goes in to speak to the school.
	Speaks to the headmaster.
	Oh, well, we're sorry that you're racist, and you're the only person that's complained, and all the other parents that are aware of it are 100% for that.
	You're trying to beat this woman down, and she goes, well, that's bullshit, because I've spoken to all the other parents, and they all agree, and you're lying to my face right now.
	Pulled the kids from the school, and like that.
	It wasn't just like, OK, we got caught.
	It was that we're going to make you feel bad about getting caught, even though we lied to you, even though we're manipulating the truth, even though we're sort of throwing the blame on other people.
	They're trying to create that consequence.
	And that's scary stuff.
	The gaslight, I mean, you know, a couple of weeks ago, Hakeem Jeffries was on the House floor and he said,
	Well, these book banners, you know, they don't want to teach our kids about the Holocaust.
	So I'm like, alright, well I'm going to go into our local school district and do a little book research.
	And there was, you know, one book about trans kids had like 17 copies.
	Another one had 31 copies.
	Another one had 39 copies.
	You know how many copies of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich?
	Which, if you want to understand how the Holocaust happened,
	You've got to read that book, right?
	Zero copies.
	They only had three copies of Roots.
	Now, a couple of people pushed back and they said, well, those are long books.
	I'm like, well, you can get Stephen King's It, you can get The Stand, you can get all these fiction books in those libraries, but you don't actually, you're going out there saying parents don't want to teach about the Holocaust, but you don't have seminal works in there about that.
	No, they want to teach this like trans ideology.
	That's just the bottom line.
	Yeah, I mean, but that's the world we live in right now.
	I mean, it's no different on social, right?
	Right.
	Guys like you, guys like me, you know, if I put something, I just see it.
	It's like, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist, like, five years ago when I was like, they're shadowbanning me.
	They're like, how do you know?
	How can you prove it?
	I was like, well, yesterday I was averaging, like, 10,000 retweets a tweet.
	Today I'm getting four.
	They're like, well, 4,000?
	I go, no, no, no, four.
	Like, single digits, four.
	Like, something changed, right?
	It didn't, and, you know, and they do that.
	Social, Google search.
	They're manipulating what you see, and so I don't actually think it represents the real will of the people.
	Though if you keep yourself in those bubbles of social or Washington DC, you'd think that this is all the rage with everyone who's independent or democratic across the country.
	We've lost the idea that there could still be moderate Democrat voters out there, but there are no more moderate Democrat politicians, as evidenced by what we saw happening in Washington state this week.
	Yeah, no, I think that's right.
	And I mean, I think one of the lessons in Virginia was you had moderate Democrat voters go out and vote for a Republican for the first time.
	I mean, I can't tell you how many times we were out at the polls, you know, getting signatures for our petitions.
	You have people come out, you know, I never voted for a Republican before, but I am this time.
	I mean, we even had people say, well, I voted for McAuliffe.
	Well, I'll still sign your petition.
	We're like, all right, well, you do what you gotta do.
	But, you know, there are people out there that look at these things and, you know, they don't like the idea of biological males in girl sports.
	They don't like it.
	Who could?
	Listen, I have five kids.
	I know how that happens now, so I got a different hobby.
	But like, you know, it's a lot of work, man.
	One of my daughters is a really good athlete, and like, the amount of time and energy it takes to nurture that, and to bring them to every practice, and every game, and Traveldy, and this, and that.
	You know, the average mother that's doing that across the country, every weekend, for their kid to give them a chance, and then, like, someone's just like, I'm a girl, you know, sort of a journeyman male athlete, like, I'm not gonna get a scholarship, but if I'm trans, you're the ultimate form of privilege in America today.
	Totally!
	And so you could become, you could be a journeyman, very average, less than average, male athlete,
	Become a female, dominate that sport, be treated like you're the ultimate female athlete, and you have the added benefit of being trans on top of that.
	It's mind-blowing.
	And I want to know, like, where are the feminists?
	Like, where are the people that fought for Title IX?
	Because this seems to be like, you know, they can go along with this blindly.
	They're either
	So weak, stupid, or they're just so worried about the social consequence of coming out against this thing, even though they had no problem being vocal for the last 30 years.
	Yeah, I mean, I think that's it.
	I think that the pushback on this issue is unlike anything else that the average person is willing to do, right?
	I mean, they may think this, but they don't want to get cancelled, right?
	I mean, they're not necessarily in the...
	You know, the industry where, alright, they go out and they're on Twitter, they go on the news, they're, you know, like us, right?
	They don't want to lose their business because, you know, next thing you know, their business is being flooded on Yelp with, transphobe, transphobe, transphobe, right?
	And they say, they talk about, oh, we need to protect trans rights.
	No, no, no, what you're asking for is to protect trans super rights.
	Because they have super rights.
	There's no pretense of, like, they want to be equal.
	Right.
	They are.
	Like, I can't name a right that I have that a trans person, certainly an adult, because again, once you get into the children's issues, like, who's more impressionable than a young child?
	And that they're trying to carve parents out of that process is a whole nother story, but like,
	I can't name a right that I have that they don't have.
	But, you know, if they're trans, I mean, they put that on a, you know, Corporate America job application?
	It's like, you know, that, like, replaces being a 4.0 student.
	Or numerous other things.
	It almost gets rid of, like, the need for accomplishment, because it's like, well, we need to check, you know, we can do that.
	Oh, trans minority!
	It's like, oh!
	It's like the holy grail of diversity.
	Now, once they hire it, if they totally underperform, you can never fire them, because you'll get sued, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
	Yeah, and if you think about kind of an analogy with the Americans with Disability Act, right?
	You know, you'd make accommodations, so you'd put a ramp somewhere, or you'd get handicapped spaces, and yeah, it's a mild inconvenience for people, but like, big deal, right?
	Okay, I'll give you the ramp.
	We're building, we've done it all over, you know, and then you have the people that take advantage of that, and they go around, try to find some flaw, like they don't really have a problem, they're never actually using the thing, but
	They're literally professional litigants.
	They go and try to find some way you may have violated the code for the handicap ramp to be able to sue you for, you know, a nuisance fee, basically.
	Right.
	And so they're doing that, I imagine, in this movement as well.
	Yeah, but this movement is even more problematic because the rights, or the super rights, that they're getting actually impact
	In fact, not other people's convenience, but their rights, too, right?
	So, if a biological girl feels uncomfortable using a bathroom with a biological boy, they tell the biological girl, well, you can go use the single-use restroom, or you can go see the Unified Mental Health Team, and they'll get your mind right.
	I mean, that's discrimination!
	That is discrimination against the girl!
	That's sex discrimination!
	Well, yeah, I spoke to Riley Gaines, who is the swimmer who literally tied Leah Thomas, and yet they gave, meaning exact score, to the hundredth.
	Tied Leah Thomas, the Penn swimmer, my alma mater, I'm a little bit embarrassed, but who, you know, became the trans sensation, journeyman male swimmer, won the female national championship, literally tied Riley Gaines, and the actual woman who spent her whole life trying to dominate her sport and did, they're like, well, we're giving it to Leah Thomas.
	Well, it's a tie.
	Like, why does Leah Thomas, why is it arbitrarily you just decide you're just gonna give it to the dude who last season was swimming as a male?
	And yet, there's nothing, and if she says anything, she's, again, transphobic, she's, you know, I don't even understand anymore.
	Well, and the hypocrisy.
	I mean, look, if you're a male and you want to identify as a female, you'd think, well, I'm a female now.
	I'm going to go prove that I can compete in men's sports.
	Right?
	So go compete in men's sports and show everybody that, well, females can compete in men's sports, too.
	Okay?
	It defies reality.
	But, you know, the fact that all we're looking at is males going and competing in girls' sports, right?
	It never goes the other way, right?
	It's like, hey, it works both ways.
	You know what I mean?
	Or they'll find, like, one example where, like, some dude tripped, you know, and the trans person wins, and it's like, oh, look, they dominated.
	It's like, well, it's so lopsided.
	And that's why I don't understand it.
	It feels like, to me, in watching it, the people that are supporting these things, the people that are, you know, yeah, Dylan Mulvaney should have a Nike bra on, and that's wonderful.
	Like, they're all female.
	Why are females seemingly leading the charge
	To eliminate the relevance of females.
	There's not great female athletes that they can choose from.
	They gotta choose a lunatic.
	And then you watch the videos of dancing around like a clown.
	It's like every negative female stereotype that, again, the feminists have spent the last 50 years trying to disband, that person's exemplifying on a video making a fool of themselves.
	And like, that's the face of Nike.
	And Tampax.
	Well, that's why I think you're seeing... What's going on?
	That's why I think you're seeing a difference between what happened with Bud Light and what happened with Tampax and Nike, right?
	Tampax was like, oh, it's a story and, you know, whatever.
	It gets pushed around in conservative circles.
	But in Bud Light, now we're talking about a product that, you know, mostly men buy.
	They're the ones like, whoa, wait a minute, right?
	And you don't have in these... I never thought about it from a gender perspective.
	I was thinking sort of right and left, you know, blue collar versus not.
	But maybe that's what it is.
	Yeah, it's strange, as I watch this play out, I think the reason, the juxtaposition of Dylan Mulvaney and a product that is so associated with males, you put those two things together, now you have a tinderbox, where you don't have that when, you know, Dylan Mulvaney's out there with the extra boxes of Tampax, right?
	It doesn't become a thing.
	I'll get crap for saying this because these are brutal, but like,
	There's literally zero reason for Dylan Mulvaney to have... Zero.
	Tampons!
	I mean, the fact that we're having this conversation... Dude, please tell me, like, just tell me that I'm just the star of The Truman Show.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I don't know, like, they've been filming me for years and everyone is just an actor in my life and I'm just unaware because it feels like it has to be that way.
	So I get what you're saying.
	You're not wrong.
	And yet, like,
	Just from a standpoint of sanity and rational, whether it's sports bras for someone without breasts or tampons for someone who doesn't menstruate, I don't understand.
	Maybe we don't have to.
	Maybe they just don't care because they have so much power that you don't have to understand.
	They control Big Tech, they control Search, they control the purse strings, they control pop culture.
	I guess, you know, Nike's big enough because they got, you know, the power of, like, the woke NBA stars and, like, all these people that maybe they don't go after them the same way.
	But, like, it's insane.
	I mean, they did something with one of the top female sprinters who was, like, a ten-time gold medalist type of thing, and it was like, wow, she got pregnant.
	Let's get her off the books.
	So anyway, she's one of the great athletes of all time, and now she's sort of off the books.
	I think she went and started her own brand, which is probably a great idea, but you're going to give it to Dilma if I need to replace that.
	There's not thousands of incredible female athletes out there.
	What was it?
	The U.S.
	women's soccer player, Megan Rapone?
	Yeah, Rapinoe or whatever.
	She comes out in favor of males and girls sports.
	It's like, all right, so you climb up the ladder and you become the best at your spot in female sports.
	Pull up the ladder for everybody else coming forward.
	It feels like some of the argument against sort of the billionaire oligarch class, which is like, hey, they're really pro-America, until they get power, and then it's like, well, I can save an extra half a cent on my widget from China by doing it this way, so we're no longer America First.
	I mean, that's exactly the Megan Rapinoe argument, right?
	She did that, she got the best, she has the sponsorship deals, now screw everyone else.
	I can just go full woke, and I get the credit for that, and they're capitalizing on it, ultimately.
	And, you know, I mentioned South Park earlier because I do think that watching them is five years in the future, right?
	You're like, alright, what are we looking at five years in the future?
	Now, it's going on.
	There was an episode, I don't know, 15 years ago where, I don't know, Stan or Kyle's dad, you know, he wants to become a dolphin.
	So he wears a dolphin shirt, he's mad at the doctor, the doctor gave Mr. Garrison a sex change operation, the kid then wanted negroplasty, I guess, and the dad goes in, he's got a dolphin shirt on, he's like, the dad's yelling, he's like, I can make you a dolphin.
	He's like, oh, and then he becomes a dolphin, right?
	And you're like, oh, that's crazy, that's...
	Yeah, no, now you can be, you know, identify as animals.
	Yeah, no, I mean, South Park doesn't miss.
	They did that, I mean, the one, since we're talking about sort of transgender athletes, right?
	I mean, when they had, like, the Macho Man Randy Savage come in and do it.
	Heather, yeah.
	But it's true.
	There's no, you know, you can just...
	Decide.
	The reality is, when people start, you can talk about, you know, this was clearly, and it was labeled as such by our own medical institutions, who are pretty damn woke, and they changed it a couple years ago, but this was always designated as sort of mental illness, and then, you know, now it's, oh, can't possibly do that, it just, you know, now it's civil rights, but how soon until everyone starts gaming that system?
	Meaning, yeah, hey, I'd like to go to Harvard, or I want to get a scholarship, it's like, well, you ain't gonna do it as a male, so...
	It's like the easy button.
	It's like the new easy button of the radical left.
	Well, I mean, you know, part of a theory is, I mean, is Dylan Mulvaney just gaming the system?
	I think it would be great for a conservative to do that.
	I would love it if Dylan Mulvaney came out and be like, I was just fucking with you guys.
	Like, this is bullshit.
	It's rather extreme.
	I don't know that I'd go that far, but, you know, in the world of, like, TikTok and YouTube and stuff like that, I mean, people will go through... You know, it's like jackass on steroids times about a billion.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	Like, if that happened, I'd be like, okay, that was... It's Borat.
	That was almost... It's Borat.
	Exactly.
	It'd be so... I don't think that's gonna happen, unfortunately.
	But if it did, that would be amazing because I think that could be like a kill shot to the insanity of what's going on.
	Like not only was it always a joke, we got you all to go in.
	The guy made millions of dollars representing brands that wouldn't even think about giving an actual woman with no athletic accomplishment or, you know, the same roles and it'd be great.
	Yeah, I mean, I'd love for someone to go out there with that plan in mind.
	But people are gonna start doing it, though.
	I think, I mean, I would be convinced, especially in, like, the high school to college, where it's like, well, you don't actually have to do the surgery, you don't actually have to take hormones, you don't, like, so you're saying, like, I can basically move myself up in sort of the selection process by levels, entire levels, just by being like,
	Trans?
	Like, I identify as this, like, everyone's gonna be gaming the system.
	It's gonna turn the whole thing into a joke.
	Well, I mean, before all this started, before I got involved in all this school stuff, I didn't know that, okay, so if you're a boy and you identify as a girl, but you still actually are attracted to girls, and you haven't had the surgery, like, most people, I think, that aren't paying attention to this don't realize that.
	This is not, okay, this person had surgery, and everything that, you know, is about a girl, they're that.
	No, it's, I just identify as, maybe some days I don't.
	You know, that would be gender fluid.
	Some days I'm a boy, some days I'm a girl.
	You could do that.
	I mean, anybody could say, oh, look, I'm gender fluid.
	Some days I'm a girl, but the rest of the time I'm a guy.
	I guess there's a whole different level of commitment if you're doing surgeries.
	A little harder.
	I'm not saying I condone it either way, but you're right.
	I'm whatever I feel like this morning, and you must accept that.
	You must call me by my pronouns.
	Again, I'm maybe libertarian on the issue, but I don't care what you do when you're an adult.
	Don't jam that shit down my throat.
	I'm not violating your civil rights by...
	Not acknowledging your ever-changing and always sort of moving goalposts, you know, further towards the, you know, the abyss in terms of just reasonableness.
	And yet, that seems to be what they expect.
	I mean, it's a slippery slope.
	I mean, you know, if we're saying that somebody is a frequent heroin user, and they want to identify as that, and that's what they are, so leave me alone.
	And you're like, I can't help you?
	Like, we can't help you not kill yourself?
	We must accommodate every aspect of your deranged quest for death.
	Where does it end?
	Ha, where does it end?
	I mean, that's a great question, but I think we're seeing some of the possibilities right now.
	I mean, when states like Washington, right, start putting in bills saying, we're going to take your kid away from you if you don't transition your child if they want to, you're going to get people that, you know, they may not have thought about this issue before.
	They may be on the left on a lot of things saying, well, wait, wait, when it comes to my house, when these policies come to my home, now I'm going to start paying attention.
	And they're going to start awakening more and more and more people the further they push this.
	Okay, so this is like Washington State Bill SB9955 or 5599 or whatever it was.
	I think I spoke about it on Monday in my intro to Stephen Miller.
	And it literally says that.
	I mean, Washington State passed a bill allowing the state to take children
	Away from their parents, if they don't just go along with the child's transitioning.
	Now, I don't know anyone more impressionable than a young child.
	You know, I think we could look at the history of American advertising, whether it's cigarettes or otherwise, and see, you know, how they hooked kids on stuff and how easy that was to do.
	But Washington State, and 100% of the Democrats supported it.
	Zero of the Republicans, just so we understand where the parties are.
	Like, no one, even in Washington State, and even for some of those Republicans who are going to be in more moderate districts, were like, yeah, no, we're not doing that.
	This kid couldn't buy a pack of cigarettes legally.
	Couldn't vote.
	But the state is going to remove them and give them sanctuary from the parents who are just like, I'm just not going to sign off on that.
	Like, it's crazy.
	Like, if I don't want my kid to go to a field trip, I don't sign off that the state's gonna start saying, eh, well, no, no, they're going to a special one, we're gonna make sure... It's... I've never seen anything like it.
	It's actually happening, and 100% of one of the major parties of this country is going along with it blindly.
	Well, they're trying to have their cake and eat it, too, right?
	So what they'll say is, well, if you don't do this, these kids are at risk for suicide.
	This is effectively medical treatment that you're denying your children.
	Okay, so they say that on one hand.
	And then on the other hand, with the schools, they say, well, you can't tell the parents if the kid comes and says, you know, I want to transition.
	So you're denying information to the parents about your child's medical condition, their mental health condition.
	Right?
	You've got to get a permission slip to give him Tylenol.
	But if you're going to start him down this road to, you know, ultimately puberty blockers, testosterone, surgery, you don't have to tell him for that.
	But make sure you get that permission slip for Tylenol.
	It's insane.
	I didn't realize sort of the have your cake and eat it too argument.
	And that really is, right?
	So, I mean, what other states
	Who are doing this or attempting it?
	Who are the most egregious offenders?
	What have you seen?
	I mean, you're obviously researching this stuff, you're in that, I mean, it's your white whale, right?
	I mean, you're obviously doing a lot of other stuff, but it's such a big one and I can't think of a more noble cause.
	What are the other states that are doing this?
	What are the other guys that have tried it?
	Who has accomplished it?
	I imagine this will actually pass the Washington, I guess it went through the House and it was, you know, 100% Democrat vote.
	I mean, to me, it's sanctioned kidnapping.
	Yeah.
	It's state-sanctioned kidnapping, and, like, I think the only thing you can do is actually get out of those states, because they're gonna, I mean, there will soon be, I'm sure, criminal consequences to parents not doing this.
	I imagine that's the next step.
	I mean, if taking your kids away isn't enough, what other decisions can kids make of this gravity that permanently affect them that you could effectively carve out the parents, or make sure that they don't have any say, or just take them totally?
	Does it exist?
	California recently passed a bill that makes it essentially a sanctuary state for these surgeries and these treatments, so that kids can go there, parents don't have to be informed.
	It's a magnet, right?
	It's an attractive nuisance for kids to go to California.
	In Virginia, we had a legislator by the name of Elizabeth Guzman, who's now looking to move up to the Senate.
	In 2020, she introduced a bill that would criminalize parents.
	So if you didn't give your child these kind of medical treatments, then you could be prosecuted.
	Now, it didn't go anywhere, but that's where they're going to go next.
	And, quite frankly, a lot of the schools that say, you know, we're not going to tell parents, they really, I mean, in theory, they could be calling Child Protective Services right now because their whole motivation is, well, we need to protect the children from the parents that won't give their kids this important medical care, which, you know... Yeah, so they're saying it's essentially abuse denial.
	Exactly.
	And that's going on right now?
	I mean, no one's calling CPS, but in theory they could with these policies because that's the rationale behind these policies is that it's abuse not to allow your child to, you know, make lifetime decisions at the age of 10.
	So, you know, and I'm with him on this one, a hundred percent.
	Elon Musk basically said, you know, you got to throw these people in jail who are pushing for this stuff and who would allow it to happen.
	And I guess that's the reality.
	Is there any consequence?
	Meaning, you know, you push a five-year-old or a seven-year-old or a ten-year-old into, you know, gender affirmating, you know, affirming care, whatever the hell they call it.
	You know, they always have to, they're very good at marketing to make it sound like it's, you know, nice and wonderful, but they're pushing, you know, minors into sex change operations.
	Is there any consequence to those doctors if that kid wakes up at 18 and is like, what the hell did you do to me?
	I mean, you see some of the videos and, you know, I saw a couple over the weekend just watching this stuff.
	It's, you know, the recidivism rate is like 93%, like people who do it and regret it later.
	I mean, that's crazy, but you see some of the videos of these people, and they're like, you know, 34-year-old, you know, adult male with no facial hair, no nothing, because they were put into the, and they're just like, I'll never have kids, I regretted it, but I listened to my, you know, rainbow-haired teacher freak show, and like, is there any accountability to the people that were in that sort of chain of power or command that these kids could eventually go back and sue?
	You know, if it was me, I'd be going after their medical licenses.
	Like, hey man, you took advantage of a minor, you got him to do this, you carved out the parents of the process.
	Now five, six, seven, ten years later, they realize you basically involuntarily sterilized them.
	They weren't of an age where they could actually consent to it legally anyway.
	Is there ever a way that we could push for those ramifications?
	To make it like where every doctor's not like, hey, you know, it's like, you know, the COVID shot you're finding out like, oh yeah, we got an extra 50 bucks a person for just jamming it in there.
	They're making money on it.
	It's a racket.
	Is there a consequence?
	Well, two points on that.
	One, you talk about people that regret it.
	We don't even know the extent of what that's going to look like, because this is sort of a new thing, right?
	There's not 20, 30, 40 years of this.
	You see some people, but it's the forward end of the bell curve.
	Like, this is a real thing happening all over the place right now.
	I mean, you know, I speak to kids and my kids' friends and their friends from other schools.
	I mean, you know, the furries thing is real, and we're going to go and accommodate someone who thinks they're a
	Fucking animal right now, in a classroom, and we gotta put a litter box in there to make sure, rather than like, no, no, no, let's accommodate the vast majority, not make everyone else accommodate the sort of whims of someone else who, again, a couple years ago would have been diagnosed as, you know, insane.
	Well, I think on the consequences issue, I mean, you're going to have states that are going to vote to make this illegal before 18, right?
	And there will be consequences there.
	And then, of course, the left is going to, you know, have protests and death inns and all that stuff.
	But in other states, you know,
	You know, Chloe, you're not going to be able to do that, right?
	In California, Washington, Oregon, wherever.
	But you are seeing some lawsuits now, like Chloe Cole has brought a lawsuit against the medical providers for, you know, she's a detransitioner.
	You're going to start to see that.
	And hopefully, I mean, again, it depends on the judiciary, you're going to get some some woke judge that, you know, denies it.
	But that's why getting good judges that adhere to the rule of law is so important, because this is probably, I mean, if I'm a plaintiff's lawyer in 10, 20 years.
	I mean, you're looking at class action lawsuits.
	I mean, these people are going to find themselves, you know, unfortunately it's not going to necessarily happen all at once right now, but I think down the road this is going to be major litigation.
	This is going to be like tobacco litigation type stuff.
	You know, and I hope so.
	I mean, I think they should be in jail, but if that's not going to happen, there should at least be, you know, they should lose their medical license, there should be financial consequences, they should be paid, you know, their insurance premiums should go through the roof because, I mean, I think, I don't know how to consider, like, not malpractice at this point.
	But, you know, talk about, you know, in sort of getting into the legal work, talk about the details of what's written into these policies and how sort of subversive it is.
	Because, I mean, there's so much sort of sneaky stuff and, again, when you have the full weight of media and big tech sort of boosting you and, you know, they'll hide the bad and sort of, you know, push the fake good out there.
	You know, talk about some of those things and how those policies are written just so people understand just how, sort of,
	Yeah, and you know, really the best example is what happened in Loudoun County.
	I mean, that is, you know, really how everything went down.
	So you had a sexual assault in a bathroom in May of 2021.
	It's a gender-fluid boy in a girl's room.
	At the time,
	They were starting to debate this policy, this policy 80-40, which means you've got to call the kids by their preferred pronouns if you're a teacher or a student.
	You get to use whichever bathroom of the sex that you identify with.
	And then the other one, which was in the policy itself, a regulation, parents don't get to know.
	Well, what happens, the policy comes up for debate.
	One teacher goes and speaks up against the pronoun piece.
	He gets suspended for speaking at a school board meeting.
	Now, he goes to court, he wins the case, he wins on appeal, but it shows, wow, they're really trying to get this policy passed.
	Then what happened?
	Then you have a superintendent, when they're talking about this policy at a school board meeting, have there been sexual assaults in our bathrooms?
	I'm not aware of any records of sexual assaults.
	Well, that was a lie.
	That was a lie done so that they could pass this policy.
	So they lied about this sexual assault.
	They didn't do a Title IX investigation.
	They moved the kid quietly to another school where, guess what?
	He sexually assaulted someone else.
	I'm shocked.
	Then the story comes out.
	I'm shocked.
	It seems like such a reasonable... Right.
	And people on the left would say, wow, they're lying.
	This didn't happen because of the policy.
	No, it's actually much worse.
	They covered up a sexual assault to pass a policy on transgender super rights.
	That is what they will do.
	And they're going to gaslight and gaslight.
	And a lot of the things with don't tell parents, they don't actually put that into the policy.
	What they do, the schools, they'll put that into the regulation.
	Right, so it doesn't actually get debated, it gets put in through the administration who puts it in as a regulation.
	So then they have full autonomy.
	Full autonomy.
	So what can, because I think this is important, what can parents be looking for?
	I don't think this is a 50-50, you know, partisan debate with parents.
	It's clearly where the Democrat Party has gone, but I don't think that Democrat voters
	For the most part, believe in this stuff.
	I refuse to believe that.
	And I imagine if they knew, they too would be a little bit more vocal about it.
	But what are the signs that parents can look for that this stuff's going on?
	How do they figure it out?
	How do they get involved?
	How do they spread that word?
	Because again, if they're hiding it that way, they're going to such great lengths to make sure that it happens, but to make sure that you don't know that it's happening,
	There's got to be a way to figure it out.
	Yeah, so you really have to look and ask, is your school partaking in the school to scalpel pipeline, right?
	And it's very nefarious how it all works.
	They will start putting books.
	There's one book, It Feels Good to Be Yourself, right?
	It's geared towards, you know, first graders to third graders.
	And this book, it's, you know, you pick it up, you're like, oh, it looks like a little storybook, animation, etc.
	It's a good five-year-old saying, well, I told my parents when I was three that my doctor guessed wrong when I was born, and I'm a boy now.
	Trends!
	Right?
	And they've got those in the library.
	So they're conditioning the kids early for this, right?
	And then you get into the later grades, and what are their policies?
	Do they have this bathroom policy?
	If they've got a bathroom policy, that's number one.
	If they have this pronoun policy, you've got to refer to kids by their pronouns.
	If they have this sports policy, you get to participate in any sport you want based on
	We're good to go.
	It's not that complicated.
	Now, schools have started to figure out ways to game the system.
	They'll charge you exorbitant amounts.
	One person in our district FOIA'd sexual assaults and rape in emails for over a three-month period.
	You'd think there wouldn't be that many, but they want to charge $37,000.
	Right?
	So they will start to game the system.
	But PPRA, Protection of People's Rights Amendment, is something where you can go in, you can inspect the curriculum.
	They have to let you do it.
	They can't charge you for it.
	It's not like FOIA.
	You know, these are the kind of things that you need to do.
	And you need to talk to other parents, right?
	And teachers.
	Everyone says, well, they don't like teachers.
	Actually, like, teachers are some of the best sources that we have, right?
	I mean, they don't want to come out and publicly say these things.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, the left goes crazy when we use the term, like, groomers.
	But, like, when you actually look at some of what they're doing, like, what other conclusion is there?
	Right?
	They've created that outlet for a kid who's confused.
	I don't know.
	I probably don't know a teenager who hasn't been a little, you know, screwed up or going through something.
	I mean, you just have to be by nature of the level of hormones that are going through your body naturally, let alone once you start jacking them up with all the other, you know, bullshit they're throwing into it.
	But, I mean, that seems to be what it is, right?
	I mean, you take a confused child and this is what you are.
	It's gotta be this.
	This is the solution for every troubled child, it feels like, that's out there.
	Yeah, it's a rubber stamp.
	And when did schools take that responsibility, right?
	So, you know, Terry McCullough famously said, oh, I don't think parents should be telling schools what to teach.
	Well, yeah, look, I'm not gonna go micromanage how you teach calculus at all.
	I'm gonna assume you know how to do that.
	I want you teaching them calculus or trigonometry or 19th century British literature, all you.
	But what I don't want you teaching is things that are traditionally,
	Topics that I want to talk to my kids about, if I want to talk to them at all, right?
	I mean, some of these things, how are we even having these conversations?
	But it's flipped, so that schools spend more time talking about, you know, transgender issues, or you're an oppressor, and then the academics are slipping, so that parents now have to take the time at home, whether it's through tutoring, whether it's through one-on-one work, to catch them up academically, because they're not getting as much of that at school anymore.
	It's all social and cultural.
	So, I mean, so you wrote the book, you know, on how to fight, sort of, the leftism in schools.
	A, tell people where they can find it, because I think it's important.
	You know, and how does, how has this evolved, this issue, where you see, sort of, the newest thing is now the trans thing.
	Like, a couple years ago it was critical race theory, and that sort of faded out once people realized what it actually was.
	You know, sort of, essentially state-sponsored racism, only one-directionally.
	You know, talk about that a little bit, because the thing never seems to change.
	What's the next thing?
	Yeah, so Parents of the World Unite, you can get it on Amazon, you get it at Barnes & Noble, Target, Books a Million, any retailer.
	But that's actually probably the overarching theme of the book, is that you need to be flexible in how you're dealing with things.
	I mean, at first, you know, a lot of our movement was started with this cancel culture issue, right?
	Where you had all these school board members and administrators and activists create this list of parents they wanted to target.
	And, you know, we didn't take too kindly to that, so we decided, well, we're going to remove those school board members.
	Then it became, oh, you know, Critical Race Theory, right?
	The school's saying, we don't teach Critical Race Theory.
	We know you don't.
	Oh, here's an email from your last superintendent that said, yes, you actually do use Critical Race Theory.
	And then, you know, they start to lose on that, or we win on that, and we move on to the next thing, which is now you're attacking teachers for exercising their First Amendment rights.
	Speaking out about these trans issues.
	We never actually talked about the trans issues, but then it became about the trans issues and now that's what they're pushing.
	And so it's the overarching issue is that schools are implementing a political agenda.
	They're trying to get, whether it's future voters or whatever their motivation is, you can't necessarily lock on to one issue and fight it.
	You need to go almost where they go.
	And just attack hard.
	And, you know, they're bureaucracies, right?
	So they're cumbersome.
	And, you know, they're not used to dealing with sort of almost like guerrilla-style attacks from parents who are out on the news, out on the radio, writing op-eds, doing FOIAs, communicating with each other, showing up at school board meetings.
	And they really don't have any way to fight it other than saying, you're a racist, you're a transphobe, you're a right supremacist, you're alt-right.
	Like, you know, whatever.
	Throw those terms around.
	But at this point, the problem with that is that, like,
	When people get called a racist, it's like, eh, it's Tuesday.
	Right.
	You know what I mean?
	And that's a shame, because I do believe there's actual real racism left in the world.
	It's just not the cause of and solution for all of life's problems, right?
	It's like an incredibly tiny minority of bad people, and yet, you know, according to them, it's everything, right?
	I mean, literally every problem in the world could be solved by, you know, or caused by white supremacy and or climate change.
	It's just the two things they have.
	Yeah, and that's, you know, what we saw early on is they changed the definitions, right?
	It's like, racist means you believe that somebody, based on the color of their skin, is inferior, right?
	If you're not that person, well then, guess what?
	You're not racist.
	But, if you don't like the policy, or you don't like a teacher training that says, if you're Christian, you're an oppressor.
	If you're not Christian, you're oppressed.
	If you are a light-skinned member of a minority, you're an oppressor over the dark-skinned member of the same minority.
	And you don't like that, then you're racist.
	You're like, no, look, I just have an issue with how you're teaching that.
	Can we have that discussion?
	No, no, no.
	We're going to shut you down.
	We're not going to debate you.
	We're afraid to debate you, but we're going to say we're not going to debate you because you're a racist.
	Like, they've changed the definition.
	We're not going to give a racist a platform.
	Exactly.
	That's all they ever do.
	They will not debate.
	So how involved is, you know, obviously a lot of these things are state issues, which is what makes it great for parents because they can actually get involved in their states and the school board stuff, like you can actually impart pretty big changes in your districts, but how much and how involved is sort of the Democrat slash Joe Biden administration, their school board, you know, the education department nationally, you know, involved in this process?
	Well, I mean, I think Exhibit A would be the National School Board Association memo and how they all cooked that up to say, ah, domestic terrorism!
	Let's investigate parents for, you know, violence that isn't really happening.
	Which is, if it were, right?
	You know, that's appalling, but that's a local issue.
	A local issue for your county sheriff or your police department.
	Yeah, not the DOJ.
	Right.
	Or the FBI.
	And it wasn't really happening anyway.
	Right.
	We're going to use the domestic terrorism portion of the Patriot Act to unlock federal jurisdiction here.
	And why did they do it?
	Well, we later found out, and the House Oversight found out, that it helped Terry McAuliffe.
	Well, it didn't.
	It hurt him.
	But when you're looking at the Education Department, and the problem with the Education Department is when you build a center of power, where do you think people are going to go to influence?
	To the Department of Education.
	And when they have to follow rules, when school districts have to follow rules to unlock federal money,
	I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, sure, whatever you want.
	Yeah, we'll do it.
	So that's how they implement a lot of these changes through the Department of Education.
	It's all, you know, it's a quid pro quo.
	You want the money, you've got to do what we say.
	All right, well, I mean, you were a top spokesman at the DOJ.
	You've seen, you know how it works.
	What sort of, like, long-lasting damage is sort of the weaponization of those departments?
	I mean, the Department of Justice literally going after
	Concerned mothers.
	Just being like, hey, I don't want you jamming this woke crap down our kids' throats.
	I mean, for that person to be labeled a domestic terrorist, but not like, you know, it was the car that drove through the Christmas parade in Wisconsin.
	Not a black supremacist, because you can't say that, because if that's a minority, they can't possibly be racist.
	But, I mean, there has to be
	Well, and that's the big problem, right?
	Is if you don't have faith in your institutions, especially like the Department of Justice, which is supposed to be impartial, which is supposed to enforce the law, which is supposed to be blind, right?
	Justice is supposed to be blind.
	We're not seeing that.
	So when you decrease faith in institutions, then you start to see the downfall of nations.
	It goes throughout history, where when you start to see these institutions really just favor one side, I mean, we're supposed to be a nation of laws, not a nation of men and women, right?
	Right now, we're not a nation of laws.
	We're a nation of, well, who's my, you know, who's on my political side or not?
	We're just going to ignore what the law says, and we're going to pick and choose what we do politically because we want to help, you know, Terry McAuliffe win the governorship or, you know, help Joe Biden.
	Like, that has consequences long term, which could be, you know, an existential threat to the foundation of our country.
	Yeah, I mean, we saw that with the, you know, 51 people who signed off on the Hunter Biden, you know, Russian disinformation laptop.
	It's like,
	Oh, we didn't have any.
	I've heard a couple people say, well, we didn't have anything, but we just wanted to help Joe Biden win.
	It's like, wait, why do they still have classified credentials?
	Why do they still have that kind of access?
	I mean, they're literally lying to the American people for political purposes, and yet that seems to be happening day in and day out.
	Yeah, and you look at the media and you go back 50, 60 years, the same media that's breaking the Pentagon Papers, that's exposing government abuse, right?
	Which there has been for a while.
	Now it's like, no, no.
	No, we're good, we're good.
	Yeah, you can't talk, like, you know, we may be waging a war with the world's largest nuclear superpower in the Ukraine, and we have troops on the ground there, that's discovered, and it's like, the real issue is that it leaked, not that we're doing it, you know what I mean?
	It's like, where, like, what happened to these institutions?
	I mean, like, you can say what you want about, you know, Jack Teixeira, but like, I remember when Alexander Vindman was a hero!
	Uh, for leaking that.
	And the difference is, like, Jack DeShera may have... And again, I'm not for leaking documents that could put our troops in danger or, like, you know, critical personnel if we have undercover operatives in there.
	But, like, I'm also not in favor of, like, lying to the American public, funding an unsanctioned war.
	Like, he could have diverted World War III, as opposed to, like, Alexander Vindman, who seemed like was almost doing the opposite and pushing us towards it.
	Well, I mean, the media used to be what, like the fourth estate, right?
	Where it was an extra check and balance on the other three branches, or on the three branches of government, right?
	Now it's, no, no, no, we're an agent.
	We're an agent for, depending on who's in there, we're going to be an agent for you to really push out what, or to report things the way that, that are helpful to you.
	I mean, that is not traditionally how our media has operated, you know, and look, there's a lot that goes into that, right?
	Social media, 24 hour, you know, news networks, the internet, things have changed.
	No, it's very different.
	But, it's so concerning that you cannot have a media that just is there to hold the government accountable.
	Yeah, no, I mean, I see that.
	Even the sources I like, it's like, you sort of, you read the headline and it's like, oh man, that's terrible.
	You clickbait and then you read the article and you're like, oh, that was nothing.
	It's amazing how that happens.
	I mean, I think it's also probably negative on both sides, you know, sort of creating the perpetual outrage cycle.
	Which seemingly prevents people from functioning rationally at this point.
	Right, I mean, you know, you can look back, and really post-World War II, right?
	I mean, even before that, the rise of the administrative state has created sort of perverse incentives now for the media to, where are they going to get their information from, right?
	Well, they don't want to burn their sources, especially if their sources are
	You know, we know that they lean left, and if it's an administration that they favor now, they're going to report in a friendly way.
	And we're losing a lot of, I think, the good reporting that we had 50, 60 years ago that allowed us to really know what was going on in somewhat of an unbiased way.
	And now it's, I don't know, what are you going to do?
	Because orange man bad.
	And, you know, well, the real problem now is like, you know, talking about burning the sources, like the sources are literally just like,
	paid lobbyists of, like, the military-industrial complex.
	Like, it's not a real source.
	Like, it's a real person, perhaps with real power, but they're just like, okay, this is what we're looking to do, and so here's the leak.
	And, I mean, I've seen that.
	My eyes have been opened to it just because of what we went through for the last six years, you know?
	I mean, I was working for Russian government, and I, you know, I did 50 hours of testimony for treason in front of Congress, and, like, it's like, wait, what?
	Like, how is... Well, there didn't have to be any truth.
	They just hoped that if they get you in there for 50 hours of testimony,
	You know, if you put a comma in the wrong spot, we got you for perjury.
	Not that you actually did anything wrong, but if we ask you just inane questions for hours on end, maybe you make a mistake, and we say, oh, now you lied to the government, and you're in trouble.
	Yeah, and I mean, we saw it with the DOJ memo on parents, right?
	I mean, one of the key citations in the NSBA memo was, oh, this angry dad that gets arrested at a Loudoun County school board meeting, right?
	And he was, you know, the face of
	Yeah.
	Domestic terrorism.
	It's like, oh well, it turned out his daughter was sexually assaulted in a bathroom.
	Yeah, I'd be pissed too.
	And I'd be really pissed when they're covering it up.
	And if you're a parent and you're not...
	You're subhuman.
	There's no other way to do it.
	They did that to when they were messing with Kavanaugh.
	He's defending himself from being called a gang rapist.
	He's on the circuit of court of appeals.
	He's a fixture in legal institutions.
	Never had an issue.
	And then he's up for the Supreme Court and Trump appoints him.
	Gang rapist.
	And, like, the media attack on him was, like, he was really heated in his response to someone accusing him a gang rapist.
	He must have done it.
	I'm like, wait, wait, wait.
	Like, is anyone not gonna ever be, like, heated if accused of something they clearly didn't do?
	And then it turns out, well, you know, the witness is lying, the other one can't remember anything, and magically it all sort of goes away.
	And, again, there's no consequence or accountability.
	Well, and you know, the left goes from like zero to a hundred right away, right?
	I mean, and I talked earlier about, well, they went from Trump derangement to just any derangement.
	And you know, you hear it now, like, well, they want to, they want to ban books.
	Like, what are you talking about?
	Look, if you want a book for five-year-olds about how, you know, a doctor guessed their sex when they were born and he was wrong, you can totally sell that on Amazon.
	You can put it in your county library.
	But like, look, if we got to pay for it and it's going to be in a school, I mean,
	Anarchist cookbook, right?
	I mean, bomb building and all that.
	Should that be in schools?
	Have we banned that book?
	Is that bad to ban that book?
	Where's the line here?
	Yeah, you don't see Penthouse in school libraries either.
	I'm sure there's plenty of young teenage boys that would probably be thrilled to find one of those every once in a while.
	I'm not saying I condone it, but that's the reality.
	And yet, that's not there.
	But if you want to learn about mutilating your body, we'll make sure you have plenty of sources.
	And again, like you said earlier, there'll be 17 copies of that book to make sure that everyone has a chance to read it, but not actual literature.
	I mean, you pay taxes.
	You pay for the school.
	You pay for the school libraries.
	And the minute you have an issue with something there,
	You're a book banner, right?
	And I keep seeing these headlines from news sources like, the book banner is lost, like nobody is trying to ban, maybe some people are trying to ban books, I don't know, but like the vast majority of parents that are going to school board meetings, reading from these books, it's just to expose like, hey, community, do you think this is appropriate to pay for and put in your school library or your classroom library?
	That's it!
	Well, listen, I know it's just sort of a somewhat related story, but I had a friend, when I published my first book, Triggered, you know, sort of going after some of these things.
	And, like, they went to their local library.
	It was a New York Times number one bestseller, and they went to their local library and went, hey, I'd like to get a copy of, you know, Donald Trump Jr.'
	's book, Triggered.
	And, like, the librarian went nuts on them.
	We don't have that!
	Wait, wait, are they banning books?
	Like, I mean, that's clearly a leftist.
	I'm sure they have no problem with the trans book, but like, I don't know, it was a New York Times number one bestseller.
	I don't think it could be that inflammatory.
	You know, they can call me all the names they want, but like, that book they wouldn't even consider having in, you know, that wasn't a school library, that was just a public library, but they wouldn't even have that there.
	And yet, a school library can have stuff that's clearly, you know, has much more of an agenda associated with it.
	Yeah, I mean, look, there's a lot of different things they could do.
	You remember Blockbuster?
	You go in, you get your movies, and you're like, well, you're not supposed to go there if you're under 18.
	You sneak in, whatever.
	But you can do different things, right?
	I mean, there's different policy options that you can have.
	But like the minute you bring that up, you are immediately labeled a bad guy in your community.
	And that's what makes it so tough.
	Like I've found, I've talked to a lot of people that have gone through some issues with their kids and their schools haven't told them and they're really concerned.
	And it's always sort of, I'd say like left, a lot of left of center parents that want to be, you know, they want to be kind.
	They're trying so hard.
	Exactly.
	And then they find out it happens to them, and they don't know what to do, and they're scared, right?
	Now, the people that are more conservative, well, they've been talking to their kids about this for a while, right?
	And they're like, hey, you know, they may bring this up in class.
	If they do, you know, they get ahead of it.
	And so their kids end up being, you know, more balanced on these issues.
	But it's the ones that assume everything is just done for kindness and compassion that end up in the problem spots.
	Yeah, I feel like it has nothing to do with that.
	I look at it, you know, in Hollywood, just being such a
	We're good to go.
	We don't have this problem in the hood.
	You know, you don't have this problem in, you know, in third world nations where they're like, you know, in China there's probably not a big, you know, bloom of trans kids because they're actually focused on learning math.
	Or finding their next meal.
	Or something perhaps even more critical, right?
	And yet, it happens.
	And it happens in these bastions of wokeness.
	And again, around some of the most privileged people in the world.
	And I understand and I'll disclaim that I'm coming from this as the son of a billionaire.
	I get it.
	But I would say that if I was applying to schools right now, or my children were applying to college right now,
	Same.
	Same things.
	I think their last name would make it very difficult for them.
	Whereas if they checked a box that was trans, or their friend with the exact same boards, exact same grades, exact same sports, checked that box, it's like, it's not even a question.
	In.
	Well, you know, it's interesting too, because in Europe, and we usually assume Europe is more left to us, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, Europe's going the opposite direction now.
	Their medical standards are saying, wait a minute, let's not just rubber stamp this.
	Kid comes and says, they present as gender dysphoric.
	We're not just going to say, all right, well, we're going to get you on a regimen of puberty blockers.
	You're scheduled to operate on Tuesday.
	You're fine.
	And, you know, meanwhile, you've got Levine at HHS saying, oh, well, the Biden administration is fully supportive and, you know, we need to step up our program here.
	I mean, it's crazy when you see America going further to the left than, you know, Scandinavian countries in Europe.
	Yeah, I mean, like, literally, you know, the socialists, you know, we talk, oh, we're a democracy, like, are we really?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, the socialists in Europe, they look at us and they look at the voting.
	Like, what do you mean?
	Like, you don't, you don't have paper ballots?
	You don't have same-day voting?
	You don't, you don't need ID?
	They look at us like we're lunatics.
	And these are basically socialist countries in many respects of the word.
	And we're like, of course not.
	There can be no fraud.
	There can be no this.
	I think Trump sort of brought this out.
	We were probably heading that way a long time ago.
	We are much further than we ever would have imagined, and it's probably been that way much longer than we ever imagined.
	It's just now they've gone so far.
	Whether they're winning and they're just sort of trying to put the final blows into America as we know it, or not, I don't know.
	But it is crazy to see some of these places that are looked at as, you know, very left, and they're looking at us like we're lunatics.
	Well, yeah.
	And, you know, you brought up sort of what inspires some of these people to go along with these things, right?
	And I remember a conversation I had in summer of 2020 with a really good friend of mine who's on the total other side of the political spectrum.
	And she said, well, you know, I feel like this is the next civil rights movement.
	I'm like, hmm, I don't think it's going to be.
	But that's really, I think, Biden said that when he was running.
	This is the civil rights movement of our time.
	I'm like, I don't know, man.
	Like, I don't know.
	I mean, I think that's an insult to the actual civil rights movement.
	By the way, where are those people?
	Because it is.
	I mean, how come the people who led those movements, the ones that are still around or their offspring, where are they?
	Be like, hey guys, this ain't the same.
	You know, everything's Jim Crow, but, like, yeah.
	Is it really, though?
	Well, yeah, that's the thing.
	I don't know.
	Jim Crow, you know, the people that were affected by that kind of stuff, they weren't getting Nike sponsorship deals, you know, out the wazoo for being these things.
	It's a little different.
	And everything goes to that level, right?
	When we did our cases to try and legally remove school board members pursuant to the Virginia Code, this is Jim Crow 2.0.
	Like, what?
	How is it Jim Crow?
	First of all, the school board member, she's white, and I don't understand.
	But you see that, right?
	You saw that with Kyle Rittenhouse.
	He's a racist.
	What, you shot three white dudes that came after him?
	I mean, and real people.
	You know, Bill Ackman, I don't know if you remember when he was a big investor in New York and he did this whole thing, he was like a super big lib, huge donor to the Democrat Party, and at the time, I had Kyle on the show a couple of weeks ago, at the time, Bill Ackman came out and was like, wait a minute, I'm watching the trial and it's like, how is it that I'm not aware
	You know, I've been told he was a white supremacist, but the people he shot were white.
	Like, I assumed he was shooting, you know, people of color.
	Minor details.
	So he went on with this long Twitter thread.
	The New York Times called him through while he was posting this stuff.
	It was like, did someone hack your account?
	He goes, what do you mean?
	Like, a serious guy, billionaire investor, was just like, no, I objectively had no idea these things.
	I was making decisions.
	I'm watching with my wife, and now I'm realizing just how manipulated I've been.
	And he goes on to basically say, it's interesting because I've been, you know,
	I'm involved in most of the major deals in New York and I'm watching the Wall Street Journal and the things they say about what's happening in the deal and I read the article and I laugh at how clueless they are because I'm involved or I know the people involved and I know what's actually happening.
	But then I turn the page and I assume that they're right as opposed to saying I should assume they're just as out of touch as they were in the stuff that I'm a subject matter expert on.
	Well, it's funny because I'm from New England, right?
	So, huge New England Patriots fan.
	Deflategate happens, and all my friends from New England, and my parents, and all the people that are there, the media is so full of it.
	This isn't what happened.
	This is what the source document said.
	They knew everything about it, and they knew how it was being spun, and they're like, this is malpractice, what's going on in the media.
	This is horrible, right?
	Where you get something where they don't have that personal investment in, or they don't have that, you know, day-to-day knowledge.
	They're like, I just assume, I assume that's correct.
	Like, no, no, you need to, you look beyond that.
	One, look at the source documents, right?
	Always, and come to your own conclusions.
	The media, no matter where you land on the media spectrum, they're going to present it a certain way.
	And then you're going to have to actually read the stuff and say, maybe, yeah, they may have pushed this a little too hard.
	Not, but most people, they're just watching their, their echo chamber and that's it.
	But they'll still go after you.
	I mean, I started a thing with a friend, MXM News.
	It's literally an app that aggregates everything, and you can just see what's going on.
	You can read the New York Times version, and you can read the Breitbart version, and, again, make up your own mind.
	Like, PNC Bank, just like, we're not doing business with you.
	We're not making news.
	We're not creating fake news.
	We're literally just aggregating everything that's out there in the ether and making sure that everyone has an equal chance of seeing it.
	And my partner calls me one day, he's like, I think someone hacked our account, like, we're missing our entire operating account, like, it's just at zero.
	Calls the bank, and he's like, oh no, we just don't want to do business with you, we're sending you back your money.
	Like, well, did we do anything?
	No, doesn't matter.
	Like, so it's not even about, like, the news now, it's like, you can't even show both sides of the story, let alone if you're creating it.
	I mean, creating it's the ultimate sin, right?
	Even if you're telling the truth, that doesn't matter.
	You know, when was Wuhan lab leak theory not
	The most plausible.
	I mean, like, I'm like, hey, I'm no doctor, but, like, obviously I came from Wuhan.
	Like, I was, you know, maybe the biggest chance I took in recent time and, you know, sometimes you do something that pisses someone off and that's fine.
	But, like, when Jesse Smollett came out, I go, nope.
	I'm calling bullshit, and I got killed for about four days until everyone else realized that, yeah, it is kind of odd.
	Like, a millionaire actor is walking against subway at two o'clock in the morning on the coldest night of the year, and, like, what are the odds that, like, white supremacists wearing MAGA hats would live for more than three or four seconds in downtown Chicago, you know, in, like,
	Of course it didn't happen.
	Of course that didn't happen, but it didn't matter.
	It was so good.
	The Crocodile Tales, I was like, man, he may be a good actor, but he's not a good writer, because there's no way that happened in the real world.
	But it was a risk to go out there, because if I was wrong, and even if I say, hey, if it actually happened, and they should be punished to the full extent of the law, but like,
	It didn't matter.
	Well, the Wuhan, I mean, that's perfect, right?
	Like, I don't know if you ever saw the Jon Stewart clip.
	And look, sometimes Jon Stewart's good, sometimes he's horrible.
	On that one, it was like, yeah, I mean, that's kind of what I thought.
	Like, yeah, it's probably leaked from places.
	It was like, no, it's the bats and it's the pangolins.
	And, you know, again, I got in an argument with a friend, and she's like, oh, no, there's a really good story in Scientific American about the bats and the caves.
	I'm like, yeah, also, it could have just leaked from a lab.
	Because there's a coronavirus lab there.
	Yeah, because the lab, like, is four feet away from where they said the leak originated.
	Like, I don't know!
	But again, like, but that's the point.
	They go, well, I read it in The Scientific American, so I'm superior to you.
	Right.
	Well, you know, I used to subscribe to The Atlantic until I realized, like, I'm like, it's just a leftist, you know, it's just not the same, right?
	You know, 15 years ago, it was like, wow, you could actually maybe read something and learn something.
	Today, you know, people have just picked sides.
	And I mean, I guess you see that in, you know, obviously a school thing is so important.
	What do we do about the teachers unions?
	Because that to me feels like, you know, that's where it stems.
	They hold all the power, right?
	We're underperforming in every aspect of education.
	We spend more per capita than any nation in the world.
	I think we're like 28th or 29th in the world.
	And yet, you know, the teachers union, and I think they exposed themselves a little bit during COVID, right?
	Like,
	We don't want to work.
	Okay, fine.
	Well, we don't want to do remote learning, either.
	Okay, fine.
	Well, we want to get paid, as though we're working full-time, but you don't actually want to work, you just want to get paid.
	And they're manipulating every aspect of the decision-making process.
	Any Democrat in power needs their money, so they're just going along blindly, and it seems to have nothing to do with science or education or anything other than the whims of the Union.
	Well, I mean, I think you have to treat it like a monopoly, because it is a monopoly, right?
	I mean, it's a business, and they're in the business of running our nation's public schools.
	Now, they won't, you know, they won't say that.
	It's the school board that runs it, but it's the teachers' unions.
	And it used to be that, you know, your superintendent would get in these tough negotiations with teachers' unions on teacher pay, and then there'd be a strike, and now it's the teachers' unions basically own all their local school districts.
	So you have to break up that monopoly.
	You have to create competition.
	And look, I'm not saying that school choice is a panacea that's going to cure everything, but that is one big weapon in breaking up the monopoly.
	Right, and it's why they fight it so hard.
	Right, because they know once it's there, it's not coming back.
	And I understand that, listen, not everyone has the option of homeschooling, or, you know, going to a private school, or going to a charter school, or something, you know, but like,
	I think anything you can do to get your kids out of that system or watch what they're doing within those systems is absolutely critical to their education because otherwise you're gonna get back a drone that's just, you know, functioning as, you know...
	Whatever it is that they decide is the thing at the time, and they come back out brainwashed, incapable of basic things, unprepared for life, and I don't know what you do with that, but it seems like that's the start of a declining civilization.
	Well, and you listen to the equity commissars, right?
	And their talking point is, no kid should be limited by his or her zip code.
	Like, no kidding!
	Yeah.
	Right?
	No kidding.
	I don't think anyone disagrees with that.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, go out there and figure out a way so that, you know, some single mom who's got her son or daughter in a failing school in their neighborhood has the option of saying, you know what?
	I'm going to send my son to a different school that's better.
	Correct.
	We can't do that.
	We can't do that.
	And yet, and that's the other thing, right?
	It's not like they started failing magically and they're going to fix it.
	They're doubling down
	On the failed policies.
	They're doubling down on the failed systems, right?
	The same, you know, you look at the schools that are failing and they're, you know, I think I read, I mean, you know more about it than me, obviously, but, you know, a bunch of these schools, like, where zero, zero kids in a graduating class were proficient at math or reading.
	I mean, zero!
	But school keeps getting funded, the teachers keep getting paid, there's always another scapegoat or excuse,
	In Loudoun County, it just came out last week, so they're cutting special education funding.
	But they're going to spend $11 million on a new bathroom project.
	They're considering about getting rid of boys and girls rooms and just having one unisex bathroom.
	One, that's crazy for just the craziness of it.
	They're trying to erase biological sex.
	Two, you've got safety issues.
	But three, common sense.
	Have you, for women, have you been in a men's room before?
	They're disgusting.
	Yeah.
	Okay, now you're putting boys in girls' rooms.
	So, so is a boy now going to get punished if, you know, they leave the, they don't aim properly, right?
	Yeah, I have three young boys, and trust me, it's a problem in my own house, and like, and I'm yelling at them all the time.
	I'm sure there's others that are not getting any correction on these things, and if you're at school and there's no one there to, like, kind of catch it,
	You know what the next rule is?
	They're going to be like, all boys have to sit down to pee.
	That's going to be their next proposal.
	It feels like they want that.
	Because the push always seems towards the effeminate.
	Let's make sure boys aren't really boys.
	Testosterone is a four letter word.
	It's very negative.
	And they're doing that daily.
	There was a crazy one where they're eliminating programs also for the gifted, meaning like the kids that are crushing it, the kids that maybe by dumb luck, maybe through genetics, maybe through anything else, just were born intelligent or good at math or something.
	They're eliminating the programs for the gifted students because it makes
	The ones who aren't gifted feel bad.
	And I don't know how that works, right?
	Because I would think, psychologically, if you're an underperforming student and someone's in your classroom crushing it, that's probably a lot worse psychologically than them being in their own class doing more advanced stuff and you being more with people of your peers.
	But that's just common sense.
	Perhaps I'm mistaken.
	Yeah, well, you know, one of their rationales is you look at the Asian community, the Indian community, I mean, they take these tests very seriously.
	I mean, they'll pay extra to have their children, you know, go get tutored for these tests, and they end up doing better.
	Doing better than the majority.
	There's a cultural component of this.
	Doing better than white students, doing better than black students, doing better than Hispanic students.
	Well, that's not fair, because they're putting more resources in there, so we're going to have to level the playing field.
	Everything is about leveling the playing field.
	Now look, I'm not against, you know, it's equal opportunity versus equity, right?
	Equal opportunity is not laissez-faire.
	It's not survival of the fittest.
	It's, we need to make sure that everybody has the equal opportunity to succeed.
	That doesn't mean that everybody will.
	Correct.
	But equity is, we're just gonna get everybody to the same place and take from here to give to there to make sure we get to that median.
	Yeah, it's not equality of outcome.
	It's equality of opportunity.
	You get the chance to do this, but then there are going to be things.
	Throughout history that's happened, but now we're literally pulling opportunity from those who have the best natural chance of actually excelling.
	What does that do to our society in time?
	That child's going to lose opportunities.
	That could be the next Elon Musk.
	That could be the next person discovers the cure for cancer.
	And we're pulling that opportunity away from them and bringing them down to the lowest common denominator as opposed to encouraging the highest.
	You know, it's funny.
	I made this comparison.
	You know, there are all the woke people in the world.
	They all watch the Super Bowl.
	And they're all still watching the Super Bowl with their friends.
	I mean, that is the ultimate meritocracy.
	Now, what if we changed that and said, you know, we've got the draft next weekend.
	You can only draft, the NFL as a whole organization can only draft 20 players from the SEC.
	And you need to draft 20 players from, you know, small schools.
	Right?
	The product's going to suffer, and nobody would do that.
	They're like, what are you talking about?
	Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, that's what we're drafting.
	That's what they're doing, right?
	They're saying, we're not going to allow you to go after talented individuals or to help talented individuals achieve success because we feel bad for these other players down here, so you've got to pick them too, so we level the playing field.
	And then the product is going to suffer.
	Well, I mean, but it seems like Biden's doing that with the proposed sort of Title IX bans, where they're trying to literally ban preventing, I guess, biological men competing in women's sports, which seems sort of totally the opposite of what Title IX was originally designed to do.
	Yeah, and you know, there was a decision here in the 11th Circuit, I think in late December, comes out the other way and is very clear.
	Like, look, Title IX was passed in the 70s.
	Sex means biological sex.
	Biden, you don't get to change the law with a rule or a regulation.
	That needs to be legislated.
	You know, the idea that we're just going to erase the very protections that Title IX creates for girls' sports, for girls' spaces.
	I mean, the world is upside down.
	And, you know, the idea that a male can compete in a girls' sport, especially at young ages, right?
	I mean, you look, and they're very different.
	You know, a 10-year-old soccer player that's a male versus a 10-year-old soccer player that's a girl.
	Look, not only is that anti-competitive, but it's also dangerous.
	Well, I think it was, what was it, the men's 15 and under soccer team?
	Or the Dallas... I mean, they beat the women's World Cup team.
	They're fighting for equal pay.
	They lost to 15-year-old boys.
	Decisively.
	But we're still going to pretend that it's the same.
	I mean, when I was a kid, I played hockey, and we had a female goaltender.
	And she was great.
	She was really good.
	But as, you know, as it got older, then she moved over to the girls' team, because they started having girls' teams.
	And because of that, she ended up being an Olympic hockey player.
	Now, she wasn't going to be an Olympic hockey player for the men's team, right?
	Now, at what point do you completely, you know, instead of having one Leah Thomas, you know, you've got three Leah Thomases on the team.
	Well, now all of a sudden, you've got three spots that aren't going to girls.
	You saw the Connecticut Sprinters.
	There was some girl that did not place at states.
	Probably cost them scholarship.
	Maybe if it didn't cost them the entire scholarship, scholarship money.
	In their lives.
	But that's equality.
	It goes back to what you were talking about earlier.
	Ten years ago, we're all trained and told, be accepting of everybody.
	And you are, right?
	You're like, okay, look, if somebody feels that way and they want to live their life that way, then okay, great.
	But now what they're saying is, that's not good enough.
	Now they need to get those extra rights, right?
	You need to accept the fact that you don't accept it maybe, you know, for common sense or religious reasons or whatever the case may be, but you need to not only accept that, but you need to accept that
	You know, it is going to permeate every aspect of society, and you need to subsume your rights, and your ideas, and your thoughts on that, because if you don't, we're gonna shut you down.
	You don't have the right to speak about that.
	You'll be vilified if you don't conform to each of their whims, and that can change at, you know, and again, like I said, I've gotten criticized because I, hey dude, if you're an adult, you know what, I don't want to pay for it, I don't want you jamming it down my throat, I'm not gonna go along with your bullshit where I have to conform to everything that you say,
	But, like, I'm big government out of my life kind of thing.
	You start messing with my kids, I got a fucking serious problem.
	You start, you know, whether it's minors and the transition story, whether it's males in women's sports, and, you know, I guess that's the thing.
	We're just at the point where because they're going so much further, because they expect that sort of super equality,
	I just don't know that you can play the game anymore because it doesn't seem, the slippery slope does seem like they're always trying to get more.
	And then once they get that, that's just the starting point for them trying to get more.
	Well, and you look at, you take that and you apply it to schools and young children.
	And, you know, if you're thinking, well, you know, you're 25 years old, you're 30, you do your thing, fine.
	You may be able to say that, well, if you want your kid to be like that, yeah, but here's the problem.
	Once you start introducing that into schools, it becomes a thing.
	Right?
	If it's, hey look, if you want your son or daughter to be doing drugs at school, and you're fine with that, and hardcore drugs, and it introduces it into the school, and now you have to accommodate for that.
	And I'm not comparing drugs to that, but it's the same type of idea where it's, you cannot bring your point of view
	Into a school system that is supported by the whole constituency, and then demand the whole constituency bow to whatever it is that you think needs to be done.
	Yeah.
	So, before we wrap up, I think you had an interesting nickname, apparently, in Loudoun County.
	Again, the home of the radical left, right outside of D.C., where a lot of this stuff is happening.
	But I love that you're there and willing to fight, Ian, because that's so important.
	What's the nickname that you were dubbed?
	The nickname, so, you know, I dubbed them Chardonnay and Tifa, so they pushed back with their own.
	Because, look, I mean, people on these streams are so serious, you've got to have a sense of humor.
	And on this one, you know, they showed a sense of humor.
	They called me Don Jr.
	Jr.
	It's the beard and the little white.
	Our hair is still holding out, but we lost the beard fight.
	The white has taken over.
	Well guys, make sure to check out Ian on social everywhere.

	Check out, you know, we just got to help the people that are in this fight with us.
	You know, maybe there's a couple guys that are willing to be on the front lines as you are, Ian, but I think that makes it, the more of them, the more support, the more you're passing that message on, the easier it makes it for other people to get involved and actually, you know, fight back.
	Because I think that's what we got to do right now.
	Yeah, strength in numbers.
	Parents of the world unite.
	Go out and get it.
	Amazon.
	That's the whole point.
	Parents have to get together and create their own power dynamic to go against a one-point-whatever-trillion-dollar education industry.

	We're up against some pretty powerful forces.
	I used to have a $1.3 trillion industry just in the education department.
	Think about everything else that we're up against.
	Make sure to share this stuff so that people get it, that they can get involved, that they can perhaps be emboldened to fight back and to be unafraid.
	Really appreciate it.
	You guys are the best.
