Thank you.
Hello and welcome.
This is Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com with Brighteon Conversations, where we reach out to some of the most important thought leaders and speakers on topics for our time, especially those based on human liberty and the sustainability of human civilization.
Today we're joined by Kristen Bentley, the founder of the Texas Freedom Coalition, and they're at texasfreedomcoalition.com.
And their group fights for your right to be able to say no to medical interventions with which you disagree.
They fight for health freedom, medical freedom, and parental rights and your medical choice.
Despite the fact that we live in a medical police state tyrannical regime now that wants to dictate everything that you have to wear and everything you have to inject and everything you have to say, There are people like Kristen fighting for your rights.
So welcome to the show, Kristen.
It's great to have you on and your first time guest for us here.
It's great to see you, but thank you for joining us.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mike.
It is a pleasure to be here.
It's such an honor.
I've followed you for a long time and bought some of your products and it's just an honor to be here today.
Well, that's great.
I didn't even know that before you came on, but that's nice to hear.
Well, tell us about Texas Freedom Coalition, the work that you're doing, why it matters to people all over the country and around the world, not just Texans.
Well, Texas Freedom Coalition is relatively new.
It's a grassroots organization that Made up of conservative members and leaders.
And we got activated during the lockdowns here in Texas back in April.
And we started having Open Texas rallies and protests.
And that's sort of what got us started.
But it's growing into a group where we are creating a citizens lobby in order to lobby local government, local leaders like our county judges, city councils, and then also our representatives here in Texas.
And to fight for the issues that we are particularly interested in which have to do with parental rights and medical freedom And also economic freedom because we've seen that, you know, the government in Texas has been able to come in just like across the country and tell us if we're allowed to have our business open or closed.
And so these are just issues that are very important to us as parents and as people in our midlife, in our 40s and 30s, raising children.
You know, it's something we want to get people more involved in politics, more people like us who have not necessarily voted outside of general elections.
We want to get them more involved and get their voices heard and start fighting for their rights because what we're seeing is that by all of us being very complacent, I believe, over the last 10-20 years, It's gotten so bad that we're now being told we have to wear masks to go out in public, and next it'll be that we have to vaccinate our kids in order for them to go back to school.
Yeah, as you are probably aware, you know, parents are having their children medically kidnapped.
I mean, it's an actual term in America now, medical kidnapping, where children are being taken away and forced onto chemotherapy.
Parents are being arrested in some cases and designated as Like, abusive parents for not allowing CPS to come take their children just because the parent wants a second opinion from a doctor, for example.
Are those some of the issues that you deal with as well, just parental rights versus the state?
Yes, absolutely.
I know you've probably heard of the Pardo case up here in North Texas, and that was a case where a child who has autism was taken out of his home because the parents sought second opinion.
And that was up in Coffman County.
Senator Bob Hall, who is a huge advocate for parental rights and medical freedom up here in North Texas, he was highly involved in that case.
And thankfully, He was returned to his parents, but it took a couple of months for that to happen.
But those are exactly the kinds of issues that we want to advocate for.
We think that parents deserve the right to get second opinions, third opinions, fourth opinions, and we believe that You know, when we enter medical tyranny, then there are all kinds of consequences to that.
We've seen it in California and across the country on vaccines, but I think what people don't realize is that it goes far beyond that.
And now, you know, we see cases where Loved ones don't even have the right to keep their husbands or their children on life support.
And so medical freedom definitely doesn't just end with vaccines, but I think the vaccine issue is an important one that we've seen over the last 10 years.
But now we're seeing the escalation of medical tyranny has reached a new crescendo that's very alarming to people with big tech now, just in the last few days, completely censoring and removing all videos of this group of doctors, they're called America's Frontline Doctors, who were advocating the use of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure and also a treatment for COVID-19 infections.
Now, we used to have a medical system where a second opinion was respected, where it was okay to disagree with your doctor and say, I'm going to go get a second opinion or a third opinion.
And the doctors would say, that's your right.
Come back to me if you want my advice.
Today, we have a medical tyranny.
Where not only do the doctors say, if you don't do what we tell you, we're going to call CPS and kidnap your children, but also then the tech giants will silence the voices of doctors with whom they disagree.
And the tech giants aren't medical experts.
They're not doctors.
Why are they deciding what medical advice is correct?
Especially when the WHO and the CDC are always contradicting themselves anyway.
What do you make of this?
The tyranny has gone insane.
I think it's absolutely crazy what's happening.
And the Frontline Doctors of America, who just spoke this week, is a great example of medical tyranny in the United States.
And really what I would say is that we have a technocracy now Where the people in charge are not elected officials and yet they have such an impact on our lives and even, you know, choosing treatment and medicine.
And so the censorship is outrageous.
We should all be really In the streets, you know, rioting over that almost.
Because, you know, this week was a great example.
We've talked about it a lot on our page on Facebook, which we're still on Facebook, but I don't know how much longer that will be.
I think people are very interested in that story.
That's one of the stories that we've had a lot of people share is on the censorship of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine.
I think you probably also know Del Bigtree, The High Wire.
His show was taken off of YouTube yesterday.
And so, I mean, this week we've seen medical tyranny in action.
You know, these doctors come out and share their experiences as practicing physicians out there on the front line treating patients.
And you've got Dr.
And Manuel down in Houston, who has treated over 350 patients successfully with hydroxychloroquine.
And you also have doctors who came out earlier, like Dr.
Yvette Lozano, who spoke at one of our events up in North Texas, up in Dallas.
And she was one of the early doctors who came out and spoke about her successful treatment, but also she spoke about the pushback that she was getting from pharmacies in Texas who were violating HIPAA laws, asking What she was prescribing that medication for.
I know that she had a lot of attacks and threats against her license, just as Dr.
Amanalel has.
And I think it's interesting, I wonder, I mean, those of us who are more familiar with natural health, we know that a lot of doctors who Give alternative treatments, but they've been going through that for years, having threats to their licenses.
But these are doctors who are really relatively mainstream.
These are mainstream doctors who are just trying to treat patients and save their patients' lives, and they're getting that kind of threat now as well.
That's right.
I think that group of doctors, I think they were shocked.
That they were hit so hard with censorship and also threats against their licenses and personal attacks and media smears.
I think they were shocked because they've never experienced anything like that.
They're promoting a drug, a pharmaceutical.
It's off-patent, of course, so it doesn't make much money for anybody, but they're still promoting a drug.
I bet they thought they were safe, that this would be accepted information.
I bet you they just can't believe that they're being treated In the way that alternative medicine practitioners have been treated for many years.
And there's no other term for this than medical fascism is what we're dealing with today.
Medical fascism.
If you don't go along with the demands of Dr.
Fauci and the WHO and the CDC and the vaccine industry and the pharmaceutical giants, then you will be silenced, blacklisted, smeared, harassed, threatened.
You'll have your career ruined.
Your license will be yanked.
Your entire life will be destroyed because you recommended the wrong drug.
That is unbelievable that we've arrived at that point here in America.
Are the members of your group aware of how malicious and murderous the pharmaceutical giants have become now with their influence over all of this?
I think so.
I think that we've seen sort of an evolution in our group and who our members are and really more of a waking up through this process because, as I said before, our group really started out as part of the Open Texas movement.
I would say primarily, you know, we're constitutionalists and we believe in a Constitutional Republic form of government.
And so that has brought in all kinds of people, mostly conservatives, but they weren't necessarily aware of the medical freedom issues that we've been facing for many years in our country.
And so we have formed alliances with other groups that are specific to medical freedom, but again, A lot of the members in our group were unaware of it, but through this, through the censorship of hydroxychloroquine and censorship of doctors and the push for a vaccine and mandatory masks,
I think that a lot of people are waking up to what is really going on.
And, you know, we try and educate people through social media.
And at our different events, we try and educate people About the, you know, medical terrorists is what I would call them.
And also just the technocracy that we are becoming here in America, or already are.
And where we see that is really when, you know, we see this censorship of a possible Or a treatment and a preventative for COVID-19 being censored.
And then out of Ohio this week, just after these doctors were censored, we saw that the Pharmaceutical Board in Ohio has restricted the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.
That's a criminal act on their part.
I mean, that is condemning people to die.
It is.
I just posted this morning, and I think that there comes to a point where this becomes a crime against humanity.
I think it's terrible that we're censoring information, but we could always argue that the information is going to be out there somewhere.
You just can't necessarily use platforms like Facebook.
As a reliable, you know, way to get information.
However, when you have that information out there and then a board that's not elected can then create a policy that blocks doctors from being able to prescribe a medicine that other doctors are saying worth.
That's when we become a really a technocracy.
Sorry to interrupt, but what else is extraordinary about this is that doctors are allowed to prescribe prescription medications off-label all over the country for anything.
And just for the audience, just to remind you what that means, it means that if there's a drug like, let's say, Vioxx, which killed tens of thousands of people and has been pulled, Let's say a doctor could take Vioxx that was approved by the FDA for one condition, such as high cholesterol.
They could prescribe Vioxx for anything, theoretically.
Malaria, headaches, infertility, whatever.
And that's perfectly legal under the system.
But when it comes to hydroxychloroquine, now, they're not even being allowed to prescribe it for the thing that it works on.
So this idea that the medical system is an evidence-based system, that drugs are only prescribed for things that are proven to work, that's complete nonsense.
That's never been the case.
Doctors prescribe antidepressants for all kinds of things that aren't depression, by the way.
I know.
And we see off-label use even in children, you know, for different, you know, mental health conditions.
And we see really what I, you know, problem with over-prescribing some of these drugs and using them in children.
So they have no problem typically with off-label use.
But when it doesn't fit their agenda is when we see a problem with it.
And I guess in some ways, you know, it is...
I would say the good thing about this, if there's a silver lining in any of it, is that people are starting to wake up to the control that the pharmaceutical industry has on this country and how, you know, it's very dangerous.
And I hate to see that a lot of this, it's become so political, so it's, you know, family members, That I have who are more liberal, weaning, you know, they'll post things on Facebook about, you know, hydroxychloroquine and, you know, the doctor, Dr.
Emmanuel, after she came out as a frontline doctor, she's been very, they've attacked her for being Saying what they perceive as crazy things.
I've seen some of those posts from some of my liberal family members and friends, whereas my conservative family and friends are promoting hydroxychloroquine.
I think it's a dangerous time in America where you have to worry about the politics of your physician.
Oh, yeah.
Very much so.
And don't forget that the CDC, before this pandemic, the CDC was spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to declare gun violence to be an epidemic, and they were strongly anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment.
They were turning doctors into gun confiscation snitches, where doctors were being taught to ask patients, oh, do you have a gun at home?
You know, like, that's a bad thing.
I mean, these days, you better damn well have a gun at home, given what the radicals are doing with the riots and the violence.
If you don't have a gun at home, you're insane.
And by the way, there's like 5 million more Americans have a gun at home in the last four months.
So, you know, but you see, that's how they twist medicine.
Yeah, and thank God they were not able to take our guns, at least not completely.
You know, in Texas we did have some red flag laws that were passed in the last legislative session, and these are things that we need to make sure that we work on in the next legislative session.
But I know that in the wake of COVID-1984, as I like to call it, our local gun store was packed.
And every single day, I mean, when they're doing their approval process, it was taking hours for them to get people approved just because of how many people were buying guns.
Yeah, the FBI system was backlogged like crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, speaking of guns, I know that's not the focus of your group, but I do want to ask you about what are your plans for how should people resist vaccine mandates?
What are your plans?
How are you going to lobby for that?
And let me just throw out my own personal opinion, because I've already said this publicly, and this is me speaking, not you.
You probably won't endorse this, but I've said publicly, I carry firearms all the time.
If anybody comes to my door and tries to force me to have a vaccine against my wishes, I will absolutely shoot them.
So that's just end of story.
That's my position.
Now, they probably won't go door to door and try to force people.
Instead, they'll make sure that you can't open a bank account.
You can't have a job.
You can't send your kid to school.
You can't board an airplane.
Those kinds of things.
to force people.
They're probably not going to go door to door, so I probably won't have to shoot any of them, which is a good thing.
What do you think?
Well, you know, I agree with that sentiment completely.
I am a Texan through and through, and I would say that, you know, they better watch out because you don't mess with Texans.
Most of us do carry, and, you know, I mean, they're not going to come to my house either, and And force us to get a shot.
I think you're exactly right.
The way that they're going to do it is through coercion.
You know, you won't be able to put your kids in school.
You won't be able to fly on an airplane.
I just flew back from California a couple days ago visiting family.
And, you know, if you don't have a mask on, they're going to come around and make sure that you pull it up over your nose.
Of course, some of us are able to kind of get around that, but when it comes to vaccines, I think that it is very likely that you will not be able to get on an airplane without having that shot.
That's right.
Now, when it comes to medical freedom, I think what we're going to have to do in Texas, and other states should follow this, but we need to put medical freedom in our Constitution, in our Texas Constitution.
Amen to that, yes.
And I've heard a lot of groups talking about that.
We definitely have the support of a lot of conservative representatives.
I would say that the representatives who are Republican, who do not support that, need to be fired during the next election cycle.
I have to say, too, really quickly, I do believe there are three arms of our organization.
One is the more political side of it.
That's doing, you know, the political activism, having rallies, protests, different events, and then also lobbying and organizing people in order to lobby their local politicians.
But we also have an arm that has to do with what I would call sustainability or community co-ops, where we are able to create food stability, commerce, you know, free assembly.
Through creating private membership associations and working with more of your local farmers and ranchers.
Thankfully, in our rural areas of Texas, we are already more set up for that.
But that's something that we're working on.
Education is a big piece of that too.
How about the right to garden?
Because in so many places across Texas and across the country, it's illegal for people to grow vegetables in their own front yard, for the most part, but also in certain cases in their backyards.
Is that an issue that you deal with, is the right to grow food?
Yes, absolutely.
One of the things that we saw during all these closures was food instability.
A lot of people, especially in the cities like Dallas and Austin and Houston, they were going into their stores and they were told they could only buy two chickens or their shelves were empty.
They were.
Yeah, and so it's more important than ever that people are growing their own food.
To be honest, I had not heard that anywhere in Texas that that was threatened, you know, that people can't grow food in their yard.
Well, like homeowners associations, very, you know, they enforce that like little neighborhood Nazis running around.
Oh, you can't have zucchinis in the front yard, you know?
And I don't, you know, it's not that I disbelieve that that's happening.
I could see that happening in certain areas more than others, for sure.
But to me, you know, creating food stability is really important.
And so a lot of the groups that we're working with, there's one up here in Northeast Texas, Where they're holding a kind of a, I guess, a fair in September where they have local ranchers coming out and where people can start networking.
But all of those things I think are really important in preparing for what the instability that's coming in.
Oh yeah.
And the other arm that we have in our organization is militia.
And so militia, you know, can be a scary word, I guess, to a lot of people.
But having an organized volunteer militia in your county is very important.
Well, it actually goes hand in hand with food distribution.
Many Americans don't realize that militias are, number one, they are deliberately described in the Constitution.
They're specifically named and that most of the operations of militias in America today are helping with aid, you know, first aid, supplies, food, logistics, water, water purification, delivering water to areas following natural disasters as well.
It's not a bunch of people marching around with rifles, although it's good to have them these days.
You better have them.
Yeah, and I, you know, Texas Freedom Coalition, anytime that we host an event or that we co-sponsor an event, we definitely ensure that we have protection there.
And we work with our, we work with National Militia, Oak Peepers, Stuart Rhodes, and his men and women.
But we also work with local militia and we ensure that our events have, you know, that there are safety measures put in place.
And the militia groups that we work with, they work with DPS and local law enforcement.
And it's really kind of, it's pretty awesome to see because law enforcement is usually extremely appreciative of what they're doing.
Yeah, well, you know, sheriffs and deputies and cops are usually outnumbered, understaffed.
They don't have as good of equipment issued by their employer.
You know, I've, gosh, I've trained with so many cops over the years, and they only get like 50 rounds to practice with per month.
You know, 50 rounds?
You know, that's just, I'm just getting warmed up.
But...
This is what people need to understand, is that cops and sheriffs and law enforcement, they actually appreciate militia groups being there to help support them.
And that's what you're describing.
They do.
And I think that what we're seeing, you know, especially on the West Coast, is that law enforcement cannot be everywhere all the time.
And, you know, I don't believe in Texas that we will have the same problems that we're seeing in Oregon and Washington, where local government is interfering with You know, National Guard or, you know, like in Portland where the mayor is telling the National Guard they have to leave.
Right.
But, you know, I think that When we saw Black Lives Matter protesters coming in, Antifa, you know, we have that element, especially down in Austin.
Red Guard, at one of our recent protests in Austin on 4th of July, we had Antifa people show up and counter protest.
And I just think it's very important that local militia is able to organize.
And that is something that, again, local governments, that we have to ensure as voters, that our local government is friendly toward organized militia.
And if they're not, because it is something that is a big part of our Constitution, if they are not friendly toward organized militias, then it's time to vote them out and get someone in there who is friendly with organized militia.
And a lot of our militia groups here in Texas, too, they are former law enforcement, former military.
They're highly disciplined.
Yeah, I noticed that.
I'm in touch with different groups across the country as well, and they're very polite.
They're law-abiding citizens.
And by the way, they absolutely reject white nationalist groups that try to infiltrate.
Like any time a white nationalist Nazi skinhead group tries to say, hey, can we protest with you?
They're like, no, get away from us.
That's not what we're about.
They reject that.
Because that's not what they are.
But yet the left-wing media always tries to portray militia groups as being racist or lawless.
It's exactly the opposite.
It's lawful and respectful of the law.
Yes, we actually had an incident that made national news out in Tyler, Texas, which is the biggest city in Northeast Texas, And there was a Portland, I don't even know all the groups, but there were basically several different groups that showed up at the square in Tyler.
And there was a local militia group that was portrayed as instigating violence.
However, the local paper, the Tyler paper, had to correct the story because what the militia actually did was they did a great job at keeping the peace, facilitating both groups' rights to be there and to peacefully protest.
And so luckily they did correct the story, but unfortunately you're right.
And the media, the leftist media, will absolutely spin These groups as being white nationalists, you know, extremists, racists.
Meanwhile, they'll say that the radical left wing groups that are throwing Molotov cocktails and explosives wrapped with nails, they'll say that's peaceful.
Yes, and I've actually seen my, you know, our local media here at work.
I was asked to speak at a Black Lives Matter type of event in Tyler.
Tyler is a very, it's a very religious community, and so our Black Lives Matter events were very much inspired by prayer and coming together as Christians, and so I was really honored to be able to go speak at this event.
But one of our local journalists got word that I was going to be there and came there and told the organizers that I was part of the KKK. And so, I mean,
it's amazing to see how journalists that have a very strong political left bent will Come in and try and prevent even someone like me from speaking at an event.
Use the term racist.
That's consistent with the authoritarianism that now characterizes the radical left is to destroy anybody else's ability to speak and also to deny history because it's the Democrats that ran the KKK. The KKK was the militant wing of the Democrat Party.
It was the Democrats who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
And it's Democrats today, black Democrats in California, who are trying to repeal the laws against racial discrimination in California.
They're trying to repeal those laws so that they can now discriminate against whites.
So, you know, the racists have always been the Democrats.
You know who's killing more black babies in America today than anyone else?
It's the Democrat Party and their abortion centers.
So, it's amazing that these journalists don't even know basic American history.
I know.
I know.
It's crazy.
And to me, you know, it's again something where we just can no longer sit on the sidelines and allow this to continue because even in our small towns or small cities, I should say, of 100,000 people, You have these conglomerate media, you know, these papers that are part of a conglomerate, and the way that they spin stories is just incredible.
And I guess I, you know, I bring that one up in particular because Because I'm new to grassroots politics, and I have never been part of a racist organization in my life.
And to have a local journalist who's an investigative reporter show up at an event that I was asked to speak at and tell them that I am a racist and part of the KKK is just so outrageous, you know, to me.
And if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.
Yeah, and I would say get used to it because they don't play fair.
They have no interest in facts.
Democrats in general, with few exceptions, there are some good people who are Democrats, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in my opinion, who's fighting against the vaccine criminals.
But generally speaking, Democrats, they have no ethics, no morals.
They are willing to lie, cheat, and steal.
They will maliciously smear you.
They will dox you.
They will send violent people to your house to attack you.
And if they manage to kill you, then they'll mock you after you're dead.
This is the dark, demonic ethics, or lack of ethics, that now characterize Democrats.
They will never play fair.
They're not interested in facts.
And by the way, they're immune to reason and logic.
You can't reason with them.
You might as well try to reason with a chicken.
You know?
It doesn't work.
I agree.
I know.
And I have to say, I have learned to develop a very thick skin.
I just, you know, I pretty much don't listen.
You know, on Facebook, if there's a story in the paper and I'm in it, I won't even pay attention to it anymore.
I just...
And like you said, you cannot reason with these people who believe Who are that ingrained in their beliefs.
They're cults.
It is.
It's a cultish mentality.
And I do think there's something very evil about it.
You know, I was just in California, too, by the way.
Again, I know I mentioned that earlier.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, you know, it was...
Mind-blowing.
I was in San Diego where I lived for 30 years and still have a lot of family and friends out there.
You know, I just cannot believe how many of them have, they are so fearful and all of them are wearing masks.
I was there for about five or six nights, I think, and I basically went out three times, and every single time I went out, there was some sort of altercation involving a mask.
Really?
Yes.
Even when I went through Starbucks, which I know is absolutely horrible coffee, but sometimes I'm desperate and I just want to go through a drive-thru.
I was at a Starbucks drive-thru and I was asked to put on my mask in the drive-thru.
Well, now, we've seen children who are attending remote school, you know, they're logging in on their computer at home, they're being required to be vaccinated now, because, I mean, apparently, I guess we're supposed to believe that, you know, epidemics can spread through the internet.
I wouldn't be surprised if soon...
That Dr.
Fauci says that everybody watching videos online has to wear a mask.
Because he'll say that COVID-19 goes through the...
What was it called?
The system of tubes that is the internet.
Remember that?
Well, and we should all be wearing goggles now, too, apparently.
Yes.
Goggles and masks online.
Yes.
There you go.
You know, it's pretty insane.
I was at the beach, too.
I thought that would be a safe haven.
And it was in the sense that nobody harassed me for not wearing a mask.
But I could not believe how many people were walking on the beach wearing a mask out there.
And so, you know, my background is actually in special education.
I'm a special education advocate.
I was a teacher.
I worked in the public school system.
I know that in California that they are, yes, you cannot, if you have not been vaccinated at the checkpoint, you know, by seventh or in seventh grade is when they have a checkpoint.
If you don't have an IEP or a medical exemption, which is impossible to get nowadays, Then even online school is requiring that you...
It's unreal.
Yeah, it is.
It just completely defies logic.
Yeah, and they just passed a law, too, where charter schools cannot take on new students.
So there were several, there were a lot of parents who said, well, if my child has to be doing distance learning, then we're going to go with a charter school that's been doing distance learning for a long time.
There's some online schools out there.
So Governor Newsom and the legislature out there passed a law where you cannot switch your child right now into a charter school.
How did the Democrats become the party of anti-education?
I know.
It's crazy.
So I have to say, another thing that we're doing is called Homegrown Schools.
And it's basically what we want to see is a movement toward micro-schooling.
One of the most important things I think that we can do as parents is get our kids out of public schools and really start to defund the public school system.
I can tell you, as someone who worked in that system, it is the most liberal arm of our government, and they think they own our children.
And you are so much more likely also to have CPS calls on you from a public school teacher who You know, doesn't agree with maybe your parenting style.
But I do think that this is the perfect opportunity.
It's another one of those silver linings, so to speak.
A lot of people are waking up to the medical tyranny, but I think they're also seeing how the public school system doesn't work.
It's extraordinary, though, that the liberal-leaning teachers in school districts, especially in California, they will subject children to transgenderism and indoctrination, sex education that's very, very graphic, describing at young ages anal sex and things like that.
They will push sexualization of children, but not You know, school choice, not homeschooling, not natural immunity, not nutrition.
You know, it's just incredible.
They destroy children.
They destroy them psychologically.
It's like by the time a child graduates from high school, they've already got post-traumatic stress disorder just from the damn curriculum.
You know?
It's horrible.
Yeah.
I think that...
You know, the LGBTQ curriculum that's being pushed, especially in states like California, but also here in Texas, we're seeing it.
That right there is reason enough to pull our kids out of public schools because It's not developmentally appropriate to be teaching kids in kindergarten about these issues.
Just the way that the public school system is just very, very broken.
It does not serve The interest of kids anymore.
It's very much geared toward the needs of the teachers.
And I think a lot of the school closures that, or actually the social distancing that we face in schools, even here in Texas, it's not developmentally appropriate for children.
There is no way that I would send my kids to school where they have to social distance.
And especially young children will be very affected by it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, because any...
I know Texas Education Agency came out and said that I believe it's all kids under 10 or over 10 have to wear some sort of face covering.
Now, they're saying that face shields could be an option, which I think would probably be better than having to wear a mask just so that they can see each other's faces.
Right, for facial expressions, yeah.
Yeah, but as a teacher, I cannot imagine.
I mean, I would have kids come up to me in the hallway who I didn't even know give me a hug because children need that kind of touch throughout the day.
And it's not just little kids.
It's older kids, too.
They're all over each other.
And I just don't know how that's going to work where kids go back to school and they have to be six feet apart and they can't share materials.
It's prison training, is what it is.
They turn the schools into a public prison system.
Yes.
You have to follow orders.
And you're guilty of thought crimes if you question anything.
It's just incredible.
I have a Master's of Science in Special Education, and I can tell you that...
If we require that kind of social distancing at school, it will have a social developmental impact on kids that will not necessarily be easy to overcome.
Well, I'll just add to that and say something politically incorrect, but if you look at the psychology of all the serial killers, the serial killers are people who had very little social contact, bad parenting, they did not have friends, they were not allowed to interact.
They're raising a generation of serial killers, is what they're doing.
Yeah, and I would say that there's even, you know, there is research that shows, there's quite a bit of research actually on mask wearing and how it's When people in a society wear masks, our perception of their empathy changes and then our own ability or our kids' ability to learn inferencing and to be able to inference emotions is also impacted.
And so absolutely, like I just, yeah, we know that human contact, being able to see facial expressions, being able to touch each other is so important.
Yeah, they're emotionally isolating children.
And like you said, you know, children need to learn from facial cues.
You know, what, 90% of body language is on the face, right?
Eyebrows and mouth and, you know, all the different muscles.
Very intricate, very complex.
And that's how children learn to communicate and interact in ways that serve them throughout society.
Yeah.
Well, you've raised some really important points.
Let me just give out your website again.
We're going to wrap this up.

I'm going to donate ammo to your group.
How about that?
Oh, I love that.

Hey, ammo is a...
I love it.
Ammo is a commodity.
I'm telling you.
Yeah, it is.

Well, you know what?
Stay tuned.
My producer will talk to you.
We'll get your address.
Actually, I think the first thing I'll do is I'll ship you some of our colloidal silver first aid gel because I've been trying to get that first aid gel out to all the groups in Texas and across America.
So let me send you a bunch of that that you can distribute to people.
You're giving me the chills.
Thank you.
Colloidal silver, we use it on everyone in our family.
We use it on our dogs.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And I know colloidal silver, the one time my youngest child is completely vax-free.
No vitamin K, nothing, and he's never been on an antibiotic.
One time he had an infection and we were able to treat it with colloidal silver.
There you go.
I use the silver gel externally on ranch animals, dogs, donkeys, chickens, also on myself, any kind of scratches or wounds.
It's amazing.
It helps you heal so quickly.
But thank you for joining us today, Kristen.
