Good morning, defenders of truth, freedom, and children's health care.
Good morning, CHD.
My name is Stephanie Lucrecio, and I am your host for today, Monday, December 12th, 2022.
I want to start the show by saying that the views expressed during the show do not necessarily reflect those of CHD.
At Children's Health Defense, we are committed to taking on all the issues that are impacting our children, and that is the reason for the show today.
Our next guest today is a fierce advocate who's taking on the exploitation of children and has been a leader in the fight against Balenciaga after the recent photo shoot that featured children holding teddy bears in bondage gear.
Her nonprofit, Freedom Forever, is dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and fighting trafficking.
I am so honored to bring on Landon Sarbuck.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for having me, Stephanie.
Thank you so much for being here and for all the work that you're doing.
I've been really impressed and amazed with how you've taken this on head first and just really dived in recently with everything that's been going on.
It seems like it's bubbling to the surface more now than ever.
So I want to start by just asking how you became aware of these issues and why you've chosen to dedicate your time, your effort, and your energy to taking this head on.
Well, I was a billboard charting artist coming out of Hollywood, singer-songwriter, following the Hollywood dream that so many do.
And my Hollywood dream was really a Hollywood nightmare.
There's a very sexual quid pro quo system that goes on in Hollywood, particularly with women.
And I was very young and naive in that industry, and I didn't see things for what they were.
And I came to learn that a lot of the things that I experienced and was exposed to were sexual exploitation and even child trafficking in some scenarios.
And I thought that that was the extent of it.
I thought that this was just a Hollywood problem.
It was an elite problem.
And the more I became trauma informed, the more I worked with survivors and served in various capacities at different organizations combating this problem.
The more I realized and had an eagle eye view that this problem is a global problem.
But particularly, I was interested in how it was showing up in America, how our policies contribute to this problem, how the average culture, the American consumerism, all of those things affect children.
And I felt a calling from God to use my voice in a way that wasn't just to entertain people, but was a way to wake up humanity and combat this issue so that less children on this planet are exploited.
Yeah, I mean, it's really become quite a thing.
Those photos from the Balenciaga shoot literally sent chills up and down my spine to think about the exposure to that at such a young age and then seeing the wine and all the alcohol around these kids.
Tell me a little bit about the Cancel Balenciaga effort that you and several groups have spearheaded.
You had some protests at Nordstrom recently.
Let's roll to that footage if we can.
Hey guys, we're at the Green Hills Mall outside of Nordstrom's and we are protesting.
We got everybody on every corner here.
Alright.
Alright.
I am here because I think it's the responsibility of all of us to come together on one side that we can all unify behind.
And that is to protect our children at all costs.
And if you can't get behind that, there's a real issue.
I am here because I don't have kids and I have plenty of friends and family that do.
And so if they're not able to speak up, I'm going to speak up for them and I'm going to speak up with them.
It's our responsibility to all be together and come together because there's a lot going on and the light needs to be shined on it.
Why are y'all here today?
To me it's that it's astonishing to me that we should even have to be here first of all but with the Balenciaga ad and the fetishizing of children and then acting like it's an okay thing is so obviously not okay and it's really appalling that we even have to be out here.
Everyone should just automatically be on board with this but they're not so we're out here to try and bring awareness, help people know what's going on so that they can also raise their voices and we can protect kids.
It's shocking how many people don't know about it and I think we just have to keep bringing awareness and we have to do something.
We have to stop waiting for someone to come in and fix this or arrest someone or do something.
We have to all be involved.
Wow, amazing.
So tell me about the protest.
How did it go?
How many stores were impacted and where are we going from here?
Because I know Balenciaga is not just that Nordstrom.
Right.
Well, we partnered up with an amazing organization, Mom Army, which has satellite groups in different areas of the country.
And so they organized and we simply supported, showed up, rallied our base to show up for these kids.
And really, it's about more importantly than just getting Nordstrom's to take out, you know, Balenciaga.
It's about the public getting involved in this fight.
If we don't stand up and protect our children and have a line in the sand of, hey, we will not allow children to be exploited or sexualized.
To sell shoes or handbags or anything to entertain people across the board.
If we don't draw a line, we are headed to a very dangerous place in society.
So it really, that is the most important aspect of this exercise.
And you know what?
Protest is something that has been fundamental to our country.
And using our First Amendment right to speak out is so crucial.
And I feel that so many Americans have forgotten how important that right is.
And if we can't use it to stand up for kids when they are being sexually exploited, what else are we standing for in this country?
I mean, if we can't protect our kids, there is no country to save.
And so that was the most important part.
You know, there's some Nordstroms that took down their displays or vowed to not, you know, have Balenciaga.
But, you know, unfortunately, I don't see them sustaining that at this point.
I think that this is all about optics and that they'll capitulate in some areas of the country.
But again, more importantly, it's about recruiting the average person to stand up and stop supporting companies that do this.
And like you said, it's not just Balenciaga.
The Kehrig company owns, you know, Gucci.
They own Adidas.
There's a laundry list of companies.
And it's not just the art world.
It's not just the fashion world.
It's not just Hollywood.
It's all of these different pillars of culture that have been seeded to these Radicals that see children as a commodity.
They do not value the protection of children.
They don't value childhood innocence.
And so these are anti-American, anti-family values.
And we cannot support companies, industries, you know, pillars of culture that do not protect or value children.
Agreed.
And you know, I think the most disturbing thing is the silence.
The silence is almost deafening.
You know, you see so many things that just get everyone up in arms.
The Hollywood elites, you see people on TV talking about all these things, but this happens and there's silence from churches, from Hollywood, from everywhere.
What do you think the reason is for that?
Well, I think that there's people who don't want to believe it, because that requires them to be active and to do something about it.
So it's like a blissful ignorance of, I just can't believe that this evil is the scope of what it is.
I think there's that, but I also think there is some people that just are not aware, due to the mass censorship, they might not be fully aware of what this is about.
And if they take some, you know, media spin and say, oh, this is a, you know, a crazy right wing thing, or they make it political, then they're missing the mark on what this is actually about.
And then they don't really dig in deeper.
We have a lot of low information consumers that still read headlines, still buy into the media clickbait, and they do not understand the real issues.
They don't look under the surface of what people are upset about.
So, you know, it's ignorance and it's an unwillingness, it's a laziness to, once you do know there's a problem, of saying, hey, you know what?
I have a responsibility.
This isn't somebody else's responsibility.
It's not a politician's job to fix this.
I have to do something.
Well, I mean, it's the saying, once you know better, you have to do better.
And truly, there's nowhere to hide anymore because it's coming at us from all ends.
You know, this term grooming has come up.
We're seeing, you know, family-friendly trans shows.
We're seeing things in schools come up.
It really is becoming a slow grooming process and it's happening everywhere.
And I know many parents are frustrated.
What's your take on things that parents can do inside the schools?
I mean, New Jersey Education Association recently had their conference and they had A transvestite show for the teachers.
What do you think parents can do to try to stop all this craziness?
Right.
I mean, it's a loaded question because I would say the very first thing is to examine all the environments that we're sending our kids to.
And that's not just school.
It could be any environment, including the devices that we give our kids, you know, to our kids.
So those environments, do they contain grooming materials?
Do they contain Um, you know, pornography.
Do they contain indoctrination type materials that attack their identity?
Dangerous gender ideology?
All of these things that are weakening children, creating more vulnerabilities that weren't there before, or exacerbating vulnerabilities that were there.
So, we have to, like, do an inventory of our lives and say, you know, what TV shows am I exposing my children to?
What music?
What school environments?
What teachers?
You know, who are they?
What are they teaching my kids?
What are their agendas?
You know, there's great teachers, but there's also teachers that are facilitating the grooming process, keeping secrets from parents about what's happening with their kids.
They have secret agendas.
It's blatantly obvious at this point.
So I think that is the first thing, is just to examine all of those areas of our lives that touch our children and impact them.
And we cannot be deceived.
Dropping our kid off for eight plus hours a day in an environment that contains those things is going to turn back a child that has that indoctrination type views, maybe attack on their ideology, their identity, all of those things, and subverting the values that we're trying to teach at home.
You know, something as simple as, you were born beautiful just the way you are.
That can be undermined at school when you send your child to a school and there's this rapid onset of gender dysphoria happening because the message at school is, maybe you're not born right the way you are.
If you like certain things that are typically associated with a different gender, you might be trans.
Let's explore that.
Let's explore your sexuality.
Radical sex ed called comprehensive sexuality education is a Trojan horse for getting radical sexual ideas.
You know, in one in one state they had dildos and, you know, other sexual paraphernalia given to children at school.
So parents have to wake up and realize what environments are actually, you know, what that contains, what your kid is actually exposed to behind your back.
And it requires a lot of participation, a lot of effort.
And some parents, you know, like myself, have just chosen to pull our kids because we we're not willing to subject them to this anxiety.
And if there's not enough parents willing to fight it, it's a losing battle.
And I'm sorry to say that because I think everything is worth fighting for, but at some point there's a cost.
And if your child is the cost and there's not enough parents willing to stand up and fight and you can't win those battles, our children are not worth it.
Agreed.
And you know, the unfortunate thing is there's so many places and so many access points right now from all different parts of the world where our children are being attacked, you know, from mandates, what they're learning in school, you know, the environmental concerns that we have.
So it is a time where parents really are the line of defense between all these industries that seek to harm, control and indoctrinate our children.
and our children themselves.
So we really need to stand up and just be parents, separating the political divides, all these labels that we've put on ourselves.
And at the end of the day, recognizing that first and foremost, we want happy, healthy, free children who feel confident and beautiful exactly as they are without all this other noise.
And unfortunately, the exploitation and the indoctrination is happening every day.
Your TED Talk, which I know how much work and effort goes into having a TED Talk.
It is a process over months, sometimes years, to get to the point where you're on the stage.
So congratulations, first of all, for getting there and being able to have your TED Talk.
It was taken down shortly after it was put up.
This was from March of 2022 and you can no longer find it except through the private link that you gave me to access, which we will post in the comments for all of you so you can view it.
But I want you to talk a little bit about the differences and the relationship between child sexual exploitation and child sexual trafficking.
Absolutely.
And I'd like to mention, you know, till this day, there was no reason, there was no point of the talk that they gave me that violated their arbitrary guidelines, saying that it was inflammatory or politically divisive.
They could not point to one point in the talk.
And if you watch the talk, like so many have, They're just absolutely astounded that this talk would be taken down.
So I think it's very indicative of where we're at, you know, with this divisive climate.
But it's so sad that this talk was so important that I prepared for and cited all of my sources and all of these things, really vital information that the American public need to have to effectively combat child exploitation and trafficking.
And to answer your question, Stephanie, you know, all child trafficking is child sexual exploitation, all child sexual sex trafficking.
But child sex trafficking is motivated mostly by profit, whereas child sexual exploitation can be traded images for profit, but the motive is pedophilia.
The motive is trading it for the sexual gratification itself.
And to give you an idea of how that might look different, you know, there's some traders that they obtained the CSAM, child sexual abuse material, which we all we know as child pornography, to online.
And it's not just the dark web.
People think this is in the hidden corners of the Internet.
It is on social media platforms like Twitter.
It has been on Instagram and all TikTok.
All of these platforms that parents are also allowing their children's access to.
So that's a very important point to make, and that was in the TED Talk as well.
But with child sexual exploitation, it's traded because it's inherently valuable to pedophiles.
And so an important point that a friend of mine, who's an incredible survivor leader, Jenny Sue Jessen, said is that all child sexual exploitation material that's uploaded on the Internet, at some point, somewhere, someone profits from it.
But we we think of child trafficking, you know is motivated by profit So when somebody's getting charged They're getting child charge for child trafficking when there is a profit motive when they are selling it when there's a monetary gain But all of that material is child sexual exploitation material and child sexual abuse It's crazy, I mean you see things on the internet especially a lot of these situations with
Models and dancing young kids like wearing extremely provocative clothing.
What do you think we social pressure?
I know you talk about these pillars being big tech entertainment industry and porn.
And I can't imagine the impact that pornography has, especially on young girls and thinking about what their worth, what their value is, you know, commoditizing their bodies on some of these websites, taking pictures of themselves on Instagram.
Can you talk about these three pillars and how they're impacting our children and basically contributing to this whole grooming process that we're talking about?
Absolutely.
Well, I've always talked about Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole as the marketing arm for sexual exploitation.
And so they're constantly elevating and uplifting child sexualization.
I mean, look at the film Cuties on Netflix.
They're constantly promoting sexual content as a baseline of what we consider normal.
And it's not normal, and it's not healthy.
Commodifying women, putting children in a position where they're commodified as well.
So there's that aspect.
There's big tech that facilitates child trafficking and child sexual exploitation online.
They're protected by Section 230, and we still do not have legislation to hold them accountable for them profiting off of that, not just even hosting it.
And then you take that one step further, and they're actually inviting children onto their platforms and failing to protect them.
You know, you cannot have it both ways.
And they have enjoyed immunity far too long.
Our politicians have failed to act, not just to protect kids, but to hold big tech accountable.
And so that's another big part.
Now let's talk about porn.
Porn is also rampant on big tech, no accountability, and rampant in entertainment system.
So they are creating a demand for pornography.
And porn becomes an addiction with an insatiable desire and lust for more and more, just like drugs.
And at the end of that is child sexual exploitation.
And so many men in America, and women too, and young kids now too, at exponential rates, are becoming addicted to pornography by early exposure, hooking them when they're young.
And two mechanisms for that is when we give them these devices, these smartphones as parents, thinking that there's parental safety controls, which is an illusion.
It's a lie.
The big tech has been allowed to continue to promulgate without any accountability.
And so parents have this false sense of security giving social media platforms to their kids, big tech, then coax them on pornography.
It's in the algorithms.
They are exposed to it, but also at school.
And we've seen this radical sex ed normalize porn use.
and have classes on porn literacy.
And so they think this is normal.
They've given it books to kids, normalizing sexual apps like Grindr for children.
So they are normalizing porn culture.
They are stimulating and creating this demand.
And that is why we have a problem in this country that is so out of control.
We have an epidemic of child sexual exploitation and child trafficking in America.
That was the title of my TED Talk.
And it is so important for people to understand how serious this is.
If we had 20 million reports to NCMEC, which we did, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, of suspected child sexual abuse, if that was COVID, we would have an epidemic.
We would have all the resources, all the funding to tackle this problem.
But because it's child sexual abuse, it goes under the radar.
And we have the New York Times and the Atlantic running, you know, puff pieces for pedophiles and claiming that child trafficking is a conspiracy theory.
So shame on the media.
They're part of the problem.
And until we dismantle these and disconnect people from it, especially the next generation, our children, until they know the truth about what is being done to them, we will not be able to stop these people.
And so that's why this message is so crucial.
And I thank you for giving me a platform to share it.
I'm so happy that you're sharing it.
And what is this app that you just talked about, Grindr?
I've never heard of it.
Grindr is a gay sex app, actually.
And it's been promoted on various resources that have been designed as sex resources for kids, including a book that has been in children's libraries across America and also in schools.
I know you've done some work with the schools, that you've been very active in trying to remove some of the propaganda and some of the materials that are being distributed.
How has that been going for you?
Well, that's a small piece of what my nonprofit does, because it's a game of whack-a-mole, essentially.
One book we might get rid of, and then another book pops up.
The problem are the books.
Beyond that is the ideology behind the books.
And like I've said, it's from every pillar of culture.
And what's underneath that when you pull it up?
It's an ideology that fundamentally believes that childhood innocence Is a cisheteronormative patriarchal construct.
So they have to dismantle childhood innocence.
They have to adultify children to destroy that nuclear family because a large part of our purpose, not just as mothers and fathers and protecting our children, but that nuclear family That's the glue.
That's our purpose, is to safeguard that innocence, to give children a beautiful childhood, free from sexual exploitation and free from indoctrination and dangerous gender ideology.
And that is what's being attacked here.
That is what we are in a war over, is that childhood innocence.
And all these other things are symptoms of that, of that dirty, sick ideology underneath that.
It's crazy, because I know you and I spoke briefly recently.
I did an interview on People's Testament with a woman named Amy Atterbury, whose 17-year-old daughter ran off to Oregon and was able to get a double mastectomy and remove all of her female organs without parental knowledge or consent.
Can you talk a little bit about some of these sanctuary cities because we're seeing the same thing happen in California and how a lot of these kids who have gender confusion ends up running away for these gender affirming care and the relationship between that and human trafficking?
Absolutely.
I think I'm going to take the second part of that question first.
It was the first thing that popped in my mind.
And there are so many correlations between gender ideology, which is a coercive crackpot science, and trafficking of children, sexual exploitation of children.
You can't separate them.
They come baked in together.
And the messaging, you know, is what is creating a vulnerability for that other part to happen, for the sexual exploitation to happen, for sex torsion online to happen.
And for those vulnerabilities to be taken advantage of in children.
So they've created these vulnerabilities with the gender ideology by convincing them that they're born in the wrong body, that they're not enough.
But one of the things that they do with pornography, with all of these things, is this concept of what it means to be a woman.
Is turning so many young girls away from wanting to be a woman because now they're given an option.
You don't have to have periods.
You don't have to be sexualized.
They've seen porn.
They've seen how women are treated in porn.
How they're choked and beaten and spit on and treated like garbage.
So they are wanting to disassociate themselves from womanhood because that is how they've been taught to define it.
They don't want to be a sex object.
They don't want to sign up for that.
And you know what?
You can't blame children for that, for not wanting to be a part of that.
And so what happens is they disassociate from that idea of what womanhood means and what it entails.
And they retreat.
They hide their femininity and they are given an option, a path marked with rainbows and unicorns and constant affirmation and love and acceptance and being part of this cultish ideology that accepts them.
And they go on this journey, and an interesting part of this is most of these kids that are transitioning are not minorities.
They're white.
And the reason for that, and Courage is a great organization, and they really hit the mark on this, is because the dangers of critical race theory, basically the oppressor mentality that these children are harboring, is so destructive and they hate themselves so much that they're seeking a pathway to be something that is celebrated or valued ever again.
And you can't do that as a white child anymore.
You are the oppressor.
So this is a very convenient ideology that says you don't have to be a woman.
You don't have to be the woman that is in porn.
You can, you know, You can also be somebody that is an ally, because now you're part of this LGBTQ, you know, rainbow marked path, and we'll support you in it, and it's something that has now become a cultural norm and praise.
Ten years ago, we didn't have, you know, gender ideology or any of these pronouns in even the Google algorithms.
This is a new made-up problem, and where are all the dead bodies that they say there are?
You know, this is a complete farce that America has bought into, and it is destroying the lives of children.
And this is not just my opinion.
All the things that I just said are coming from the mouths of survivors of this transition system, this medical exploitation system.
And it's so important to elevate their voices because they're so suppressed, you know, online, and their stories need to be heard, how they've been lied to and deceived.
Yeah, I mean, I've been doing some research on the topic and it's crazy the parallels between those who have been injured by a vaccine and how people who are detransitioning are treated and gaslit and sort of ignored and not want to be dealt with.
It's like when you're going through the transition process from what I've heard, they will give you anything and everything that you want and need.
But if you change your mind somewhere through that process, you're on your own.
Right.
I mean, that's what gender-affirmative care is.
It's no way out besides gender-affirmative care.
Anything other than that is, you know, like the conversion therapy ideology.
Like, you cannot get the mental health care that you need.
And this is the other thing, they're not screening for sexual abuse.
There's a lot of sexual trauma that is also part of a identity that is being destabilized with personality disorders, things of that effect.
They're not they're not doing the necessary screenings for sexual trauma.
They're fast tracking them in some cases after one visit to Planned Parenthood, getting these kids on hormones.
And in California, you know, Jennifer Newsome is wanting to set up schools that have a one stop shop where Planned Parenthood is in the school system able to dole out these hormones without even parents knowing about it.
You know, these are communist tactics that they're doing to try to give more power to the government over these very sensitive healthcare decisions, and parents are losing their rights.
It's crazy and you know if you can just expand a little bit more on Planned Parenthood because to be honest I did not know that Planned Parenthood was involved in the distribution of testosterone and all the things that they're doing right now.
So can you just update parents on what's happening with Planned Parenthood for those that don't know?
Absolutely.
So the first thing is Planned Parenthood has a huge conflict of interest.
They should have never been federally funded in any educational capacity whatsoever.
That was the biggest misstep that happened.
And that allowed them access to our children in schools, in our communities, under the guise of education.
And so It's interesting because they are motivated to sexualize kids so that they have more customers, but they're also motivated with this gender ideology to have more gender-confused kids that also create more customers for them.
And that's their future.
That's their cash cow.
Because interestingly enough, there's not as many pregnancies when you have a child who's on hormones.
And why is that?
Because the puberty blockers and the hormones are causing sexual dysfunction later on in life and even sterilizing them.
So what does the future of Planned Parenthood look like?
Wow.
It looks like gender ideology is the cash cow.
Wow.
It really is a terrifying time to be a parent.
You know, phones, all the technology, the social media, it is embedded in our culture.
It is a really hard battle, especially as your kids get into those formative years in middle school and high school.
I remember the battle with my son.
And you think that you're doing the right thing with these parental controls, trying to track keystrokes and downloading all the apps and the Life 360 and all the things that we do as parents to try to mitigate the exposure.
What is your recommendation for parents right now who are watching that are just as disturbed as I am about all the ways that our children are being groomed and indoctrinated?
How can we do something to still live in the time that we live in where technology and devices are part of our lives, but protect our children from all the stuff that's out there right now?
Absolutely.
The number one thing is to recognize that this is a grooming device.
This is a very big problem.
giving this to kids before they have the digital self-defense skills necessary to navigate a world of predators, pornography, dangerous gender ideology, and all of the predatory algorithms that seek to exploit not just their data, but their actual psychology.
You know, they're, they're putting these exploitive feedback loops where they just need to be on these platforms more and more and more.
And this is becoming a social norm for kids that is so dangerous.
And so many parents just, you know, value conforming to that so that their kid doesn't have to be the one who's left out.
And I understand how hard that is firsthand.
I have a 14-year-old daughter, but she's not on social media.
And here's why.
I know the truth of the sexual exploitation that happens.
I know the truth of the predators.
I know the truth of the demand there.
And I know that big tech does not care and has not taken the necessary action to value my child or protect them in any way.
And so, with that said, I cannot, in good faith as a parent, allow my daughter, who's still developing her sense of identity, who's still figuring out who she is, to be influenced by something that seeks to exploit them for profit, for data, for sexual ideologies, for gender ideologies, for political ideologies.
I'm not going to give them access to my daughter.
And are any of my children.
And that doesn't mean that our kids cannot engage with tech.
Tech's here to stay.
It's a part of our lives.
There's safe ways to engage in tech.
My nine-year-old likes to build websites and code and all of this.
But we have to be smart about that engagement and also recognize that when we say no to social media and to You know, these phones, smartphones that have the capacity to search anything.
We're giving a yes to a childhood back and giving them a chance to have their identity, to have a childhood, which you only get once in life.
And again, you know, we have to be careful about surrounding our kids with other kids who are allowed to have the social media.
We have to have those uncomfortable conversations with other parents because if we're not on the same page, Again, those values will be undermined.
It's the same concept as sending our kid to a school where we know they're going to be indoctrinated, they're going to be exposed by these ideologies.
We cannot send children with developing minds and identities to a lion's den.
And that is what so many of us are doing, thinking, hope they survive.
And we have other options.
We have other choices.
And life's never going to be easy, no matter what path we choose.
But we have to decide what kind of child we want to raise and what risks are we willing to take.
And so when you think about how you want your child to turn out, there's so many parents that come and say, I raised my kid in a Christian school or I did this and this.
I had no idea this was happening.
And now, you know, they've turned out a certain way.
They're confused about their gender.
They're, you know, an activist for BLM or whatnot, whatever it is.
I don't know what happened.
I lost my child and they're devastated.
And so it's really important to really think, you know, forward as to not just right now, how upset my kid is going to be if I say no to this, but what kind of kid I'm raising.
You know, at the end of the day, we forgot our job as parents is to protect them and raise them and train them up in the way that they should go.
And it's not an easy job and it never was supposed to be.
I couldn't agree with you more.
And I also think about, you know, just What it was like to be a kid when we were kids, you know, playing outside, digging for worms, playing manhunt, doing all the things that we did.
We found ways to entertain ourselves.
We were able to truly connect with other humans.
And so often, our kids' heads are just in the phone.
They're scrolling.
They're sitting together in groups on their devices, not even talking to what I like to call the three-dimensional people that are right in front of you.
Instead, Snapchatting and doing all the things that they're doing on the devices.
It's such a huge problem that stands even beyond just this indoctrination and the grooming.
It's like the social skills that our children need to be able to function in life are being devastated by these devices as well.
There's so many things to think about as parents.
There's so many challenges that we have today that our parents didn't have.
So I'm so grateful to you for all the work that you're doing.
How can we support you?
Do you have any initiatives or anything that we can help to take action on or bring attention to?
I know the chat is exploding with so much gratitude for everything that you're doing and all the information that you're sharing.
So thank you.
Oh, thank you so much.
Well, I run a nonprofit combating child exploitation in America called Freedom Forever.
Go to freedomforever.us and support us.
We are a volunteer run organization.
That means I don't take a salary and nobody else on our team does either.
We are just incredibly dedicated volunteers and we're involved in so many different aspects of child exploitation, including the medical exploitation of children with this dangerous radical Gender ideology and so we are combating all of these facets of the war on children and we need that support We need volunteers to volunteer their unique skill sets so that we can grow our efforts.
We've already done incredible things So if you go to the website, you can check out our work.
You can follow us on social media And we have some really great tools for parents.
Also, we are releasing something that is a basically a revolution for parents manual so Parents can read it.
It's like just a tiny read and a manifesto, a commitment to revolutionary parenting in a time where there is a war on our children.
A war on our children requires a revolutionary approach to fight back.
And so we're going to give parents concrete tools and ways to do that that leave them feeling empowered.
I don't want anybody after hearing all of these things to just feel disempowered.
We live in the freest country still, even though we've lost a lot of our freedoms in the world.
And we have to exercise our freedoms, practice our freedoms, or they won't exist anymore.
And so it's really important that while we still have choices, you know, we don't have a government forcing us to do any one thing.
We have places we can move, schools we can choose from.
We have to exercise those choices before You know, nobody does, and then it becomes an obsolete choice.
So true.
And sometimes taking the road less traveled and choosing something that feels harder now will ultimately lead to easier later.
So I think the most important thing for parents to recognize is that you are not alone and that there are so many parents that feel upset about all the things that are happening to our children.
We need to channel that frustration, that anger, And that angst into action and basically put our money where our mouth is, take our children out of schools if that's what you need to do, create homeschooling communities, support brands and platforms that support parental rights and freedom.
That is the best way to fight back.
So I thank you so much for everything that you're doing.
And I'm excited to continue the conversation with our episode of People's Testament, which will air sometime soon, probably tomorrow.
So keep an eye out for Landon and Robbie Starbuck on People's Testament.
I'm so excited to have you here today.
And thank you so, so much for everything that you do.
Thank you so much, Stephanie and everybody at Children's Health Defense.
Thank you so much.
All right.
We'll have you back soon for updates.
Good luck with Cancel Balenciaga.
Keep us posted.
Thank you.
I will.
Thank you.
All right, so for those of you that are watching, thank you so much for your comments, and thank you for keeping in touch and keeping on the pulse of everything that's going on and impacting our children.
We know that big tech is affecting our kids in more ways than one, and every time you look at these devices, I also want you to think about the harmful radiation exposure that our kids are getting every single day, which we have no idea what the long-term health effects are for our children.
And I want to wrap up this hour with gratitude for all of the advocates who took action on our LA County Action Alert.
The public outcry resulted in the decision to delay fast-tracking wireless towers.
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors cited unanswered questions and unanimously agreed to delay its final vote on two ordinances that would allow for the fast-track proliferation of wireless infrastructure without due process and without residents' right to appeal.
So here to discuss this victory is advocate Brenza Martinez.
I'm so excited to welcome you back to the show and congrats on this victory.
Thank you for being here.
Well, thank you for inviting me.
I really appreciate it.
Can you hear me OK?
I hear you.
Yes.
Perfect.
Well, thank you so much for inviting me.
I'm really happy to be here and very, very thankful to all of our listeners for taking an action and supporting us here in L.A.
We had thousands of advocate actions taken, so it was fantastic.
Tell me about this victory.
Tell me what it means for L.A.
County.
Well, it's a small victory, but it's a progress that we hadn't been able to do in such a long time.
So this would have been the final decision for the Board of Supervisors to make, to pass, I'm sorry, this amendment of taking our rights away for placing towers, antennas, this amendment of taking our rights away for placing towers, I'm sorry, not towers, but antennas and receivers and any kind of telecommunication equipment that need to go into infrastructure.
They would have been able to pass it, just rubber stamp it.
No questions asked, no permits, no need for hearings and no way to appeal this.
And that's only part of it.
And so The Board of Supervisors had been very difficult to get a hold of very difficult to even, you know, talk about the issue.
And so, so finally, thanks to.
Thousands of emails, hundreds of public comments into the public comment portal for the Board of Supervisors.
We were able to get them to listen and they actually had questions for the Planning Commission and for their own attorneys and those questions were unanswered by them, of course, and for some other questions they were Not being told the truth, you know, so, um, this is, this is humongous.
Uh, I don't even know what else to say.
It's just, you know, and it brings a smile to my face because we have tried so hard and it was an epic meeting.
I have to say it was an eight hour meeting.
Um, yes.
And, uh, we have a new, uh, president or a new chair for the board of supervisors and, um, To her credit, Janice Hahn is trying to do the right thing, and she's actually asking the questions that Holly Mitchell was not asking.
Holly Mitchell was very disregarding.
She was more like, well, planning commission said we need it, then we need to move forward.
And that's the bottom line.
Ignore public comments.
And Janice Han has been taking a different, you know, a different action, you know, of actually considering listening to the public comments.
And that's why I think it took a little longer.
We also have a brand new Board of Supervisors, Lindsey Horvath, and she's amazing.
She was asking the questions.
She's been listening to some of the advocates in her district.
And so it's, You know, it's very great to see some progress, positive progress in this case.
We need to celebrate positive progress in the world that we live in.
To me, no victory is too small, especially when it impacts our health, our ability to choose what shows up in our front yard, what goes in our bodies.
We need to celebrate all of these things because we're dealing with so much.
In this world right now as parents, I'm so thankful to hear it.
What's next?
What is the next step in LA County?
How can people continue to keep the pressure on and continue to keep this thing at bay so that these towers don't just start popping up randomly in places without people knowing or being able to take action?
You know, the one great thing is that we're on top of it and they realize that now, you know, so they can see.
I mean, our Board of Supervisors, Hilda Solis, I live in her district.
She immediately, as soon as this was on the last meeting on November 15, when she started getting blasted with emails and And phone calls and, you know, messages.
People started saying, no, you need to vote no on this.
She actually listened and voted no.
And so our supervisor has been actually, I would say supportive in a way, but she's actually been listening too.
So they will be having a closed session A meeting.
It's supposed to be educational to answer their questions by their planning commission and also by their attorneys.
Since they are aware, there is liability in just approving this Title 16 and 22 amendments.
So we the next step is to continue being on top of this issue and continue supporting us and being aware of what's happening.
Take action immediately if we need to.
They're going to be coming back to hearing in January.
And I think right now the the tentative day is January the 10th.
Um, but again, it gets tricky.
Our democracy works weird.
Um, they might say the 10th, they might change it.
They might end up just doing a different meeting.
Uh, we just, we, they might just notify us the day before.
Um, so we, we really need to be on top of this.
Yeah, for sure.
For those of you that are in LA County that have been following this, this was a victory, a small victory.
We need to celebrate it, but that does not mean to just Forget about it and not pay attention.
We need to continue to keep our eyes on the prize and make sure that we keep this at bay.
And I know Brenda, you will keep us in the loop and make sure to keep us updated on the actions that we need to take.
And Children's Health Defense is absolutely committed to doing whatever we can to bring attention to this issue.
So thank you for your leadership and for your advocacy.
Thank you.
And we appreciate it.
We appreciate the support.
And yeah, again, if you are in the LA County, Please continue keeping an eye on Fiber First LA, Fight You Free California.
Those are our strongest.
And of course, CHD, Children's Health Defense, who have been, you know, I just, I can't even say, you know, thank you without smiling.
So I really appreciate it.
It's, again, it had been a really big fight and right now we're barely, we're beginning to see some of that.
So, we might, and just throwing it out there, so you are in LA County, please contact us, stay in touch with us, because we might be doing a press release or a press conference for January 10th to continue putting pressure on the Board of Supervisors.
We still need, you know, at least two other votes in order for this to, you know, to be dropped, you know, for now.
Yeah.
Well, keep us posted.
Anything else that we can do to help, we're here.
And thank you for everything that you do.
We so appreciate you.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
It was great to be here with you.
Great to see you again.
And I'm so happy to hear about the victory.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can keep going in the right direction.
Absolutely.
Same here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Alright, so for those of you that may still be new to this whole EMR issue, just know that Children's Health Defense, we have an EMR resource page where you can go for more information and to get details on how to mitigate your exposure and also how to educate in your community and fight back against things like Brenda's fighting it back against.
Go to our website on our homepage, you'll see a square and you can go on there and get everything that you need.
So with that being said, as you know, each week that I host, I bring to you the next step of the Global Walkout because I really do believe in the power of the people and our ability to take actions.
There is no action too big or too small to fight back against this globalist agenda.
So one step at a time.
Hands in hands, we are walking out from the globalist society that they are trying to enslave us into.
Step 14 of the Global Walkout came out last night, and it is to start educating as many people as we can about the dangers of a digital ID and digital currencies that includes CBDCs, which is Central Bank Digital Currencies.
So I'm going to roll to the video so you can take a look at what it is and take action.
This is the Global Walkout.
One step at a time, hand in hand, we are walking out from the globalist society they are trying to enslave us into.
Hello, my name is Catherine Austin-Fitz and I'm walking out with you.
The 14th step of the Global Walkout is called Digital ID Awareness.
You've done an amazing job using cash and raising awareness of the importance of keeping cash alive and dialing back the digital systems.
Now we need to take it a step further and do everything we can to educate as many people as we can about the dangers of a digital ID and digital currencies.
That includes CBDCs.
First, watch the new documentary called State of Control.
It's terrific.
Watch so you can answer people's questions.
Then download and print the pamphlet we've made.
Go for a walk with your family and friends.
Drop these into letterboxes.
Give them out at work.
Hand them out to the cashiers when you're shopping.
Give them to the other parents at the school drop-off.
Give them to as many people as you can.
This is so critical because when we try, when the implementation of these things begin to happen, it might be too late to educate others.
You've got to start now.
This is critical.
It's a now kind of thing.
The more people we reach out to now, the more effective our campaign will be to stop this agenda.
Think of this as an exercise as rallying the troops and getting them ready to push back against the global digital ID and global digital currencies when the time comes.
That includes CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currencies.
Hello, Reignite family!
It has been so fun doing the Global Walkout with you over the last 14 weeks.
I just want to let you know that we will not be doing another step until January 8, 2023.
We're going to use the next month as a chance to push and push the digital ID and digital currency awareness.
I really think this is the line in the sand.
This is when we are all going to say no, for real.
So talk to as many people as you can over the next month.
You've got Christmas, you've got Christmas parties, you've got family gatherings, you've got plenty of chances to talk to people.
So watch the documentary and get to know the facts so that you can talk to people without sounding like you don't know what you're talking about.
I also want to say Merry Christmas to everyone.
Use this time to relax and spend time with the people you love because I really think next year is going to be a big one.
I think the digital ID and digital currency is really going to come into play and it's really going to be our job, our responsibility to stand up and really, really say no.
I also think the globalists, they aren't actually doing very well.
They didn't expect people like us, you and me, and everyone else to stand up against them.
And they're probably going to push that digital ID button far too soon.
And we have a chance right now to wake people up to the dangers of that.
So that when they do bring it in, we're going to have a massive pushback.
And it's going to be because of the effort that you put in right now.
We finally have a chance to get on the front foot.
Over the last two and a half years, we've always been on the back foot.
And I'm sure you're sick of it, just like I am.
So let's get on the front foot.
Let's educate as many people as possible.
Obviously, enjoy your Christmas.
Don't spend your whole time talking about the digital ID.
But I really appreciate all of you being here.
You've done such an amazing job using cash, keeping cash alive, supporting local businesses.
You know, the Global Walkout is growing every single week.
And I really think this pamphlet drop is going to be a huge game changer for us.
I think that we can get it onto tons of platforms and really raise awareness.
So I'm so happy to be doing this with you.
It sounds weird, but I'm proud of every single one of you, even though I don't know all of you.
And I hope to travel the world one day soon and meet some of you.
But this has been a journey and it would not be fun without you.
So thank you for your support.
Merry Christmas.
And let's get the awareness out there.
See you guys.
