| Ladies and gentlemen... | ||
| we have an exciting broadcast coming up. | ||
| It's the homeschool call-in special. | ||
| Homeschooling is a major issue in America right now with children at home because the schools are shut down. | ||
| Parents are thinking about homeschooling. | ||
| They're thinking about the future of their kids' education. | ||
| We're going to have the experts on today. | ||
| But first, folks, a very important public service announcement from Infowars. | ||
| Hi there. Owen Schroer here from Infowars. | ||
| And I want to tell you about a serious problem affecting America right now. | ||
| Joe Mencha. I'm here to ask you for your help. | ||
| These are some of the signs that you, or someone you know, may be suffering from Joe Mencha. | ||
| Forgetting where you are. | ||
| Of North South Carolina. | ||
| Forgetting your boss's name. | ||

|
Are you going to stick with the President of Lascay on this issue? | |
| Making up mythical characters. | ||
| Corn Pop was a bad dude. | ||
| being aggressive towards journalists. | ||
| Why are you texting him? | ||
| Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why? | ||
| Forgetting lines to your speech. | ||
|

|
All men and women created by the, go, you know the, you know the thing. | |
| Forgetting what you were supposed to say. | ||

|
In addition to that, we have to, we are, well, let me, let me go to the second thing. | |
| Name calling and hostility. | ||
| I'm beginning to see why your wife left you. | ||
| Biting your spouse's hand in public. | ||
| Unabashed flirtation with young children. | ||
|

|
Eleven years old. Talk to me before we leave, okay? | |
| I got hairy legs and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down. | ||
| If you or someone you love is suffering from Jomencia, please share with them the truth at band.video and the health supplements at InfoWarsStore.com and together we can defeat Jomencia. | ||
| Now, I saw Savannah Hernandez laughing at that while we were playing it. | ||
| Do you think that's funny? No, no, no. | ||
| I wasn't laughing at all. | ||
| This is a very serious condition. | ||
| No, I could have sworn you thought it was funny that Joe Biden was hitting on an 11-year-old. | ||
| I would never, ever laugh at someone who was obviously suffering from dementia. | ||
| You're not denying it, are you? Denying what? | ||
| That Joe Biden was hitting on children? | ||
| I see it differently. | ||
| I see it differently. All right, talk to me after the show. | ||
| You know what I'm saying? Alright, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Now, the reason why Savannah Hernandez is in studio is not to laugh at our very serious PSAs is because she herself was homeschooled, and so she has a unique perspective to talk about the pros or cons or just what it's like being homeschooled. | ||
| So she also kind of learned a little history about her own homeschooling when she called her mother to kind of delve deeper into this issue and this topic. | ||
| But you also have your siblings are homeschooled, correct? | ||
| Yes. They are, and they're so much smarter than me, so I'm glad that, you know, as the guinea pig child, my parents kind of messed up with me, but my little sister, they're just excelling. | ||
| They're doing great. All right, well, I'm sure your mother would be pleased to hear you say that. | ||
| We all are going to also pepper in some of the important news that we have here today. | ||
| Obviously, there is some other news. | ||
| It's clearer than ever. | ||
| And not just clearer than ever that there's something going on with the 5G, but that America and the world is waking up to it. | ||
| And there's just more things coming out that don't add up as far as the coronavirus response. | ||
| For example, you've now had the mayor of Pennsylvania say that you have to wear masks if you're going to go out in public. | ||
| The CDC today recommends wearing masks if you're going to go out in public. | ||
| But wait a second. Remember... | ||
| Nurses and doctors that are treating coronavirus patients are told not to wear masks. | ||
| They're fired if they're caught wearing masks. | ||
| The CDC at one time said that the mask doesn't help. | ||
| It actually makes it worse. So what in the heck is that all about? | ||
| So that's coming up. And then we also have other guests today. | ||
| Homeschool experts. | ||
| Carrie Donovan, who's homeschooled multiple children, as well as Tracy Shannon. | ||
| And by the way, they're also both investigative journalists and activists in their own right. | ||
| So they can get into some of the other news as well. | ||
| And then C.J. Pearson is going to join me in the third hour. | ||
| What has happened to C.J. is... | ||
| Well, it's really disgusting to see the racism in this country against a young black man. | ||
| And it's not... From who you might think it's coming from. | ||
| So all that is coming up today. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, this is the InfoWars War Room. | ||
| Brought to you by Infowarsstore.com, live at band.video on this Friday, April 3rd, 2020. | ||
| I'm your host, Owen Schroyer. | ||
| Savannah Hernandez in the studio. | ||
| Kerry Donovan coming up. | ||
| Tracy Shannon coming up. | ||
| CJ Pearson coming up. | ||
| I've got news I'm going to pepper in, but the main subject for today... | ||
| That we're really going to be... | ||
| Because I'm just so burnt out of the coronavirus redundancy and just non-stop banging my head against the wall here. | ||
| It's obviously the biggest story. | ||
| There's developments happening 24-7, but it's just becoming... | ||
| Mind rotting, I think. | ||
| So we're focusing in on something else today that is a major issue. | ||
| And this is the kind of thing that's evergreen that people can kind of go back and watch at any given time and hopefully learn some things about homeschooling. | ||
| But we'll get into that as the show goes on with Savannah Hernandez, who is homeschooled, and then with a couple other ladies joining us later who homeschooled their children. | ||
| Tracy Shannon and Carrie Donovan, who are also investigative reporters and activists, so they can comment on some of the other news that's happening. | ||
| Now, I'm trying to crunch numbers in my head. | ||
| I'm not the best at math. Yesterday, I talked about, and I had not seen the video. | ||
| In fact, the timing is, I went back and did the timing. | ||
| If the timing of the Post of this video on Twitter versus me on air here in the Central Time Zone in the United States of America versus what we saw happen in Birmingham last night at Acox Green with a 5G tower. | ||
| We are comparing the maps. | ||
| We are comparing the outbreaks. | ||
| And we're looking at how the 5G was tested in Wuhan. | ||
| That's where it started. | ||
| You have the Bill and Melinda Gates testing, getting patents for vaccines back in November. | ||
| You had multiple pandemic trials, drills being run out of Wuhan. | ||
| So there's some... Weird stuff going on. | ||
| Now, the direct connection between the coronavirus and 5G, we can debate. | ||
| And you can discuss the legitimacy of this map and the breakout map. | ||
| But we know that this level of microwave radiation can mutate cells. | ||
| The only way a virus can be contagious or get into you and infect you is if your cells are being mutated or it's directly injected into your bloodstream. | ||
| So there's that. However, whatever the debate ends up being with 5G and coronavirus, 5G is lethal. | ||
| You've seen what it's done to plants. | ||
| You've seen what it's done when it's put on top of school buildings. | ||
| In fact, there was a whole row. | ||
| I believe it was in either Ireland or England. | ||
| You can go look at this. They put 5G, little 5G things, all across the street. | ||
| Every tree in the neighborhood, dead. | ||
| And they had to chop them down. | ||
| So whether or not... | ||
| The connection to coronavirus is a big threat or not. | ||
| The 5G is lethal. | ||
| They know it. Even the 3G, 4G towers that are up in your neighborhood have a base with a sign warning, stay back 50 feet. | ||
| I've gone and done reports on these, taking the spectrometer out there, showing you how it's literally off the charts, cancer-causing levels. | ||
| When you stand next to these things, it's like 100 yards or closer. | ||
| It's 100% just total cancer level. | ||
| So that's a real issue that people are waking up to around the world now. | ||
| And so we'll get into some of that. | ||
| Of course, Savannah Hernandez yesterday got the test and I thought about this last night too. | ||
| Why, and I want to get your take on this, Savannah, because you were the one that had the jammed stick into your brain. | ||
| Why, if coronavirus is so contagious and the CDC is now saying you have to wear a mask in public because of coronavirus, why then do they have to take a swab, jam it three inches into your skull and To test for coronavirus, if that's what's going on. | ||
| Because if you can just cough and it's like the most contagious thing in the world, why can't you just get a saliva test or a spit test or even just a throat swab like you do for strep? | ||
| No, they have to literally jam a stick into your head just to violate you. | ||
| So just 24 hours removed from this event, Savannah, what are your thoughts on it? | ||
| That is a very good point about it, and I would just like to say as well that that wasn't even the coronavirus test. | ||
| It was a flu and strep test. | ||
| Yeah, that's right. They rejected you from getting the coronavirus test. | ||
| Exactly, which were required before you could even potentially get the coronavirus test. | ||
| But like you were saying too, apparently this can be spread through coughing, it's airborne, it can live on surfaces for several hours. | ||
| We've seen all these studies that are coming out saying that it's so highly infectious, and Again, too. | ||
| I went up and I said, hey, well, I'm a part of an essential service. | ||
| Better safe than sorry. | ||
| Would it be possible for me to get tested today? | ||
| And what I was thinking about as well is that medical facility was empty. | ||
| They said that they had tests at the facility and that they had more coming. | ||
| So if I was exhibiting symptoms, if I was a part of an essential service, why can't they give me one test if this is really something that's so deadly, so infectious, that it's going to be spread so easily? | ||
| So again, this is just the media really hyping up. | ||
| All of these symptoms of the coronavirus, how it spreads, it's all of these hypotheticals and projections. | ||
| Again, I have not seen any real concrete fact. | ||
| And you and I were talking about, too, just Chris Cuomo. | ||
| He was saying how he has the coronavirus, and he was like, oh, I was hallucinating. | ||
| I felt like I was being beaten like a pinata. | ||
| It was the worst night of my life. | ||
| And then... Somehow, a couple hours later, he's able to do his broadcast. | ||
| I was sick like that last year. | ||
| I couldn't get out of bed for four days. | ||
| And I love being at work. | ||
| I love working. If I'm not feeling the best, I'm still going to come into work. | ||
| And I wasn't able to get out of bed, let alone do a full entire broadcast or even report. | ||
| So it's just... | ||
| Everyone should note how people with coronavirus, how their symptoms really are, how apparently it spreads, the fact that people aren't allowed to be tested even though it's so highly infectious. | ||
| Again, going back to the ventilators allegedly being... | ||
| I'm just gone. | ||
| People aren't allowed to use them anymore. | ||
| They're not there. That's not even true. | ||
| It's just the more and more that comes out about this, the more false it is. | ||
| And Fauci even came out today or yesterday and said too that he doesn't even trust the models that have come out You know, 2 million Americans were supposed to die. | ||
| Then it was 100 to 200,000 Americans. | ||
| And then Fauci said, well, I don't even trust the models. | ||
| People shouldn't trust the models because the models constantly change. | ||
| So that's where we're at right now. | ||
| And we have Fauci still saying, well, people in various states should have stay-at-home orders. | ||
| In Laredo, Texas, you can now be fined $1,000 if you don't cover your mouth and nose. | ||
| So that's, again, it's just like the government coming in and seeing just how far they can push people and how submissive Americans will be and how gullible we really are in terms of this whole virus. | ||
| By the way, I think I sent this to you, Scott. | ||
| I may have forgotten. It was a graph that Michael Kudray put up on Twitter. | ||
| This is not a projection. | ||
| This is a real graph. No projection, no model. | ||
| Real graph. Unemployment numbers. | ||
| Okay, so even the worst models you've ever seen of coronavirus, which are just models and projections, not actual numbers. | ||
| The unemployment graph is the actual numbers. | ||
| We saw more unemployment claims yesterday, or it was the day before. | ||
| I forget what it was. Six million unemployment days. | ||
| I believe the most the United States ever had in a day, which was during, or it was like the most in the 2008 recession was like A thousand in a day. | ||
| The most in like the last great recession was like six thousand in a day. | ||
| We had six million. | ||
| Six million in one day. | ||
| And I'm glad that you pointed that out too, because these are factual things that we can see right now. | ||
| We can see that suicide hotlines have had a huge 300% uptick. | ||
| We can see that 10 million Americans are unemployed or filed for unemployment. | ||
| What we can't see are these projected deaths, these ventilator shortages that are projected. | ||
| Those aren't factual things that are actually happening, yet we're shutting down our whole entire economy. | ||
| We're destroying families. | ||
| We're destroying people's lives because of these hypotheticals. | ||
| When we have the facts right in front of us of how people are actually being affected right now. | ||
| And this is something that's going to stretch into the long term as well. | ||
| Six months before we could potentially get back to normal. | ||
| So here is the graph right now. | ||
| We're rolling it in live time as we go to break. | ||
| But it's not a projection. | ||
| It's not a model. It's the real numbers. | ||
| It's historic, folks. | ||
| It's by design. | ||
| They've intentionally collapsed the U.S. economy. | ||
| It's time for Trump to just not go along with this. | ||
| I don't know what the move is, but collapsing the economy is not it. | ||
| That's called rock and roll, Savannah. | ||
| I know kids your age don't know about that. | ||
| I was homeschooled. It's not my fault. | ||
| I had no one to socialize with to expose me to these types of music, so thank you. | ||
| I won't put you on the spot here, but your mother didn't teach you who Jimi Hendrix was. | ||
| Yeah, I had to find out in college. | ||
| It did take me a while, but I ultimately found out. | ||
| Setback, folks. Setback. | ||
| But just tell them to watch School of Rock once a week for 10 years, and they'll be just fine with Jack Black. | ||
| All right, we're actually going to get serious on the homeschooling issue coming up in the next segment. | ||
| I've got some subject matter as well. | ||
| Savannah can talk about her experience, and then we're going to have the expert guest coming on. | ||
| We'll open up the phone lines, take your calls, your questions. | ||
| And look, too, with parents considering homeschooling or maybe even being forced to do homeschooling, there's some things you're going to want to know. | ||
| In fact, you're going to want to know this stuff whether you're homeschooling your kids or not. | ||
| But let's finish up with some of this coronavirus news and some of the stuff that is still being discovered. | ||
| Greg Reese showing me before the show how Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had a patent. | ||
| On a vaccine for the coronavirus in November. | ||
| And then I went back and I was trying to get this gentleman on the show. | ||
| In fact, Scott, if you want to try to, he just got suspended from Twitter. | ||
| Crypto Chico. | ||
| Crypto Chico. | ||
| And he's really popular on YouTube. | ||
| But he was breaking down how... | ||
| This vaccine program is already interlinked with a blockchain digital pass. | ||
| It's called MyPass here. | ||
| It's been called MyPass here, but they're passing a new one called Mipasa. | ||
| IBM's blockchain will support the Mipasa COVID-19 data project. | ||
| So this is what Bill Gates is talking about when He's saying, we're going to give you a digital chip or tattoo or whatever, and it's going to have all your documents, whether you've been sick or vaccinated or all this stuff. | ||
| And now IBM has signed on to doing this as well. | ||
| And this goes all the way back to September of last year. | ||
| And this is ID2020. Oh, how convenient. | ||
| They're called ID2020. It's like, yeah, you believe that, huh? | ||
| It's like... One of the guys on the crew also, Derek sent me the greatest meme potentially ever, and it's Bill Gates says, Hi, I'm Bill Gates. | ||
| I create viruses and can cure them as well. | ||
| It's like, oh yeah, I trust that guy. | ||
| ID2020 and Partners launch program to provide digital ID with vaccines. | ||
| That was last September, folks. | ||
| Then you have all these war games, including the Naval War College, Event 201, The conclusions were eerie, according to military.com. | ||
| And so, but they can't even... | ||
| So they run all these drills with a global pandemic literally out of Wuhan with the Naval War College ran a pandemic war game, Event 201, World Military Games, all in Wuhan, same time, and then it still outbreaks and they don't know what's going on. | ||
| And then, I want to play this video, guys. | ||
| Clip 10, and let's get Savannah's response to this. | ||
| Tell me what you think about this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alexa, did the government release the coronavirus? | |
| According to Event 201, the government planned this event, created the virus, and had a simulation of how the countries would react. | ||
| This simulation occurred October 18, 2019. | ||
| The government released the virus among the population and has lost control of the outbreak. | ||
| Now, obviously, Event 201 is public information. | ||
| Any AI system could pick that up. | ||
| But for Alexa to put that second part in there is a little, I think, jaw-dropping. | ||
| Not that Alexa is, you know, gospel or anything. | ||
| but the fact that that's in the programming or have they even lost control of Alexa potentially or the AI? | ||
| Savannah, what do you think about that? | ||
| That was very interesting to listen to. That was the first time that I've seen that video. | ||
| And I mean, I was on Alex's show today talking about this, just how disappointed I've been with conservatives and libertarians who have been reacting to this coronavirus epidemic and just how submissive everyone has become in this whole entire process and experience and how gullible everyone really has been With listening to the media, with listening to all the disinformation. | ||
| And again, it just goes back to every single person just needing to do the research for themselves and actually just clearing away the fluff and figuring out what's actually going on. | ||
| And if you do take a step back, you will realize that this is a big test to see how... | ||
| How submissive Americans are going to be, how much they're going to give the government. | ||
| And of course, we're giving them the inch and they're definitely going to take the mile. | ||
| And we've seen that with the stimulus bill they've passed, with the fact that they're lying to us about coronavirus cases now, with the fact that they're lying to us about what's going on in hospitals, what's going on with supplies, with the fact that we don't even know how this virus is spread, the fact that our own media is covering for China. | ||
| It's ridiculous. This story came out today from CNN. Questions arise after teen's death was initially linked to coronavirus in California. | ||
| So this was the first teenager in the United States to die from coronavirus, allegedly. | ||
| He was 17 years old. | ||
| But now they're saying that his case was complex and needs further investigation. | ||
| So the first teenager who allegedly died from coronavirus in the U.S., now it's coming out that that might not even be true, that he may not have even died from coronavirus. | ||
| So we're seeing more and more stories like this come out. | ||
| And... Hopefully, people start waking up to the fact that, okay, just like you said, the government can't tell you to stay in your house. | ||
| The government can't tell you not to drive on the street. | ||
| That's unconstitutional. | ||
| And I really wish people would wake up to the fact that the government is not the final say-so. | ||
| The government is not the one that is going to be forcing people to do that unless we allow them to. | ||
| It's ultimately going to be us not standing up that's going to lead to our demise. | ||
| Yeah, and the response to this has been inconsistent as well. | ||
| We got more on that, but I see that Greg Reese has popped in on the crew cam. | ||
| Again, he has the official documents, and they're saying, oh, those aren't real. | ||
| No, they are real. Greg, what did you find? | ||
| Well, I found, it's been going around the internet quite a bit, a European patent. | ||
| The patent number is EP3172319B1 that they're claiming is a coronavirus vaccine. | ||
| And if you search this on the internet, what you're going to find all in the top few pages are fact check and debunkers. | ||
| And all they're saying to debunk this is the official statement from the Peerbright Institute, who is the proprietor of this patent, are saying that this was made for poultry. | ||
| They're saying that this was not made for humans. | ||
| However, when you scan through the document on page 27, Under vaccination method, it clearly states that the vaccine or vaccine composition in the invention may be used to treat a human. | ||
| And the Peerbright Institute is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. | ||
| They started receiving grants in 2013. | ||
| And this patent was registered on November 2019, which is pretty much right in line with the event 201. | ||
| It just seems to line up rather perfectly. | ||
| Well, you know, let's set conspiracy aside for a second here, and let's just look at it from the old, you know, who benefits or why. | ||
| Look at how much money there is to be had in this. | ||
| I mean, if you're Microsoft or Big Pharma or whoever is making vaccines or putting this blockchain vaccine tattoo program out, I mean, you stand to make billions just... | ||
| In the flick of a switch just from all the funding you're going to get from this. | ||
| So, I mean, whatever you think about Bill Gates, you know, this is just such an easy boondoggle for money. | ||
| We already saw it with the stimulus bill, but now you're looking at Microsoft. | ||
| You're looking at all these other programs that are just rolling out the digital... | ||
| Grid, spy grid, surveillance grid for our safety. | ||
| That's all this is. They just stand to make millions and billions of dollars, Greg. | ||
| That's right. And you can also look up Fauci, Anthony Fauci from 1995, and you'll find that Fauci was heavy into pushing the HIV vaccines. | ||
| He had a lot of resistance in the scientific community. | ||
| Yeah, no one trusts that guy. I feel bad. | ||
| Savannah and I have been talking about the coronavirus and some of the developing news. | ||
| We haven't gotten her perspective on homeschooling, but I promise we're going to, even if I have to make her stick around longer than an hour. | ||
| And then our other guests will be joining me. | ||
| Got a little bit of other news to get to, but I will open up the phone lines now. | ||
| This is the homeschool call-in special. | ||
| We're going to be joined by some homeschool experts coming up who have been going through homeschooling their kids and have been in this... | ||
| Homeschooling process for years. | ||
| They're coming up. The number, if you have questions or if you want to say anything about your experience homeschooling is 877-789-2539. | ||
| We'll see how the lines go with that. | ||
| If they're not filled up, I'll keep other lines open for other things, but priority will be with the homeschool conversation and our guests coming up. | ||
| Real quick, though, Savannah Hernandez mentioned this earlier. | ||
| And I was gonna say this a couple weeks ago, and I didn't want to because I didn't want it to come off as, I don't know, arrogant per se, but after hearing Savannah say it, it didn't come off that way at all. | ||
| It was just genuine. And that's how grateful I am to still be employed right now, to still be able to come to work and to still be able to do my job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I even get the royalty of being considered essential. | |
| Oh, yes. Even though I literally ripped up my pass. | ||
| So if they pulled me over, I'd be like, that's in a dumpster somewhere. | ||
| But I swear I'm essential. | ||
| Because that's what I think of that, quite frankly. | ||
| But it is still a blessing to be able to keep working here. | ||
| And the funny thing about that is, it's not just a blessing now. | ||
| It's a blessing for us 24-7, folks. | ||
| The fact that you've supported us at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Yeah, there's the evidence of me ripping up my... | ||
| My past there, so I guess I'm pretty much screwed if they ask me to present my papers. | ||
| I thought the government can't tell you what to do anyway, so why do you need the papers to begin with? | ||
| Well, that's why I ripped it up, because that's what I believe. | ||
| The point is, though, I'm grateful to be here. | ||
| I'm grateful to be still working in this shutdown, but I'm always grateful, and that's the thing. | ||
| I'm always grateful because you support us at InfoWrestore.com. | ||
| They tried to shut us down over a year ago, folks. | ||
| Everybody knows it. I don't need to... | ||
| Be redundant. But it was your support at InfoWareStore.com that made it possible. | ||
| Now, we've got specials happening. | ||
| 10% off Prostagard. | ||
| You say Prostagard. | ||
| I've heard of that before. You guys have had that for a while. | ||
| What's the special for now? | ||
| It's got more than 100% of your daily value in zinc. | ||
| And everybody is rushing, looking for zinc right now. | ||
| They're learning about the effects of zinc on the immune system and fighting zinc. | ||
| Sickness, essentially, just building your immune system does that. | ||
| And so Prostagard is one of the supplements at Infowarsstore.com that is just loaded up with zinc. | ||
| But there's multiple supplements at Infowarsstore.com that have zinc in them, including the Real Red Pill, the Real Red Pill Plus, obviously Prostagard on sale right now. | ||

| That's the elite supplement at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
| And you know what, Owen? And I can't thank the audience enough. | ||
| Okay, I'm finished. Go ahead. This whole quarantine has made me realize personally, too, just how important supplements are. | ||
| We haven't seen the sun here in Texas in what feels like weeks. | ||
| It's going to be raining for the next 10 days. | ||
| Luckily, we have our Winter Sun Vitamin D, right, product? | ||
| So we have that. I'm going to order that because I haven't been able to go outside because apparently we're all supposed to be on self-quarantine. | ||
| We haven't even seen the sun. | ||
| So we have this great product, Winter Sun. | ||
| I'm going to start trying it out. | ||
| And we have a bunch of great supplements. | ||
| And like I said, not being able to go to the gym as much, not being able to go outside as much has made me realize how important supplements are just for everyone to take care of their personal well-being. | ||
| And of course, too, you know, the best way to keep yourself from getting sick always is to start from the inside. | ||
| So... Supplements super important. | ||
| Infowars store. We have a lot of great products. | ||
| And I'm glad that we did talk about, too, how grateful we are to still be able to come on air. | ||
| And that is because of our supporters. | ||
| After I said that on the Alex Jones show, so many people came on Twitter and were like, hey, I'm buying more products today. | ||
| I'm buying X2 today, X3, blah, blah, blah, because I'm grateful for what you guys do. | ||
| And Alex really is one of the last few people in media right now that's standing up for the Constitution, that's standing up for... | ||
| We're, I guess, fighting back against the government and its takeover right now. | ||
| So it's so important that we are funded and it's all because of our supporters. | ||
| And it's just so great to see all of the people in America, all of the patriots just standing up and coming together right now. | ||
| Well, and we're ratcheting it up. | ||
| People have noticed we've launched new channels at Band.Video. | ||
| We've launched, we have the American Countdown at Band.Video. | ||
| We have all the great reporters. | ||
| Alex is talking about doing Saturday live shows, call-in shows late into the evening. | ||
| So we're not stopping for nothing. | ||
| Alright, let's get into some of this other news here. | ||
| You know what? First, let's go to clip 13, and we don't need to play the whole clip, but we'll at least watch some of it here. | ||
| So, yesterday I pointed out the fact that Fox Business was running a clip, which I've still not been able to acquire, of an entire hospital staff on the floor of a hospital wing doing choir practice. | ||
| Of course, I'm joking. They were just all singing Let It Be by the Beatles. | ||
| It was about a 3-30 minute video. | ||
| And I'm just sitting here saying, man, you know, if you're so overwhelmed, you know, do we have time for choir practice? | ||
| I mean, I'm lucky if I have time for choir practice. | ||
| You guys are supposedly in the busiest industry. | ||
| You've got time for a little choir practice? | ||
| And then this came out yesterday from NBC Washington, D.C. It appears now doctors have time for live concerts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Check it out. Imagine there's no heaven. | |
| So they've wheeled a piano somewhere into this deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're all in uniform. He gets his little Facebook plug. | |
| They roll it on NBC. At least it's not celebrities, right? | ||
| I mean, let me be clear here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Imagine all the people. | |
| Alright, very well. Good job. | ||
| Alright, look, doctors need to, you know, they need to get, you know, some time off too and relax and everything, but this is so contrived. | ||
| It's so obvious. I mean, this is all a setup. | ||
| He's up here singing like he's in a concert. | ||
| He's John Legend or something. | ||
| It's like, what? You're in uniform too, so you're using that as the whole thing. | ||
| Like, you're using that as a ploy to get people to watch. | ||
| And it's, why is it always, imagine there's no heaven that they start with. | ||
| Why is it always that? Oh, there's another hospital staff singing and dancing, having a dance contest. | ||
| So it's like they keep saying how overwhelming everything is. | ||
| I mean, my goodness, if Alex Jones saw someone around here doing the Macarena, he'd throw a frickin' hatchet through a wall. | ||
| I mean, it's like, what is going on here? | ||
| That is so true. Honestly, we really are so busy and everyone's role is so important that if people are slacking off or just joking around, not joking around, but Alex will be like, hey guys, this is important. | ||
| Why aren't we getting this pivotal information out? | ||
| What's going on? So that is funny that you bring that up. | ||
| We have all of these doctors who are apparently in a war zone taking time off to go make these viral videos. | ||
| I saw a protest outside of one hospital and the nurses were holding up pictures of... | ||
| The one doctor that died because of alleged lack of protective equipment, so they were doing a protest outside of the hospital saying that they weren't going to be the next ones. | ||
| But again, how do they have time for protests? | ||
| How do they have time for all this singing and dancing and all of these viral videos if they're in a war zone? | ||
| You know, and I realized it because the crew started putting those videos up of all the liberals dancing at their stuff, and I was like, why are you doing that? | ||
| And then, actually, it makes sense. | ||
| These are all probably liberals. | ||
| They're going along with the hoax of the hospital panic because it made Trump look bad, just like they did Russian collusion and impeachment and everything else, so they just go along to get along, and then they're like, bonus, I get a viral video, yay, look at me. | ||
| I think that's a serious trend. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. Of course it is. | ||
| Look at Chris Cuomo. That's why he said that he had coronavirus. | ||
| And I'm not going to say that he does or doesn't have it, but let's just look at the facts, folks. | ||
| Let's look at all the celebrities that have had it. | ||
| Let's look at CNN pundits that have had it. | ||
| Let's look at all these nurses. It's all viral videos. | ||
| That's why they're sharing all of this stuff right now. | ||
| People are freaking out. And look, there's something going on. | ||
| I mean, you know... Everybody makes it all like rotating around Q, but like there's something really weird going on with these celebrities with Tom Hanks and Ellen DeGeneres and David Spade and all the secret messages and coded messages they're sending out and James Comey with his little coded messages on Twitter. | ||
| I mean, there's definitely something going on there behind the scenes. | ||
| I'm not claiming I know what, but there's enough questions, legitimate questions people are asking to at least know something's going on there. | ||
| Is it just for fun? | ||
| Is there something going on behind the scenes? | ||
| Alright. I don't know. | ||
| I'll check the caller board, but we did... | ||
| Did I even give out the phone number to start taking calls? | ||
| I'll give it out now. 877-789-2539. | ||
| We'll start the homeschool calls coming up in the next segment. | ||
| Oh my gosh. Savannah shows me. | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| Look, I think more than anything... | ||
| The responses to the coronavirus that have been like a pendulum, it just shows we don't know what the heck's going on, okay? | ||
| We really don't. | ||
| And everybody acting like they're experts, or this plan will work, or this plan, or that, or shut everything down, that'll be the end. | ||
| It's just, it's all been a total failure. | ||
| You know what won't work? | ||
| Panic and total shutdown. | ||
| Well, that's been proven. | ||
| But you just showed me what? | ||
| So I was scrolling through Twitter and I saw Eric Swalwell post this tweet. | ||
| It says, stop wearing face masks. | ||
| Hashtag coronavirus. That's it. | ||
| Stop wearing face masks. | ||
| Now the CDC says you should wear a face mask. | ||
| Pennsylvania governor basically makes it, I mean, unwritten, but law. | ||
| And in Texas, you can be fined $1,000 if you're not wearing one in Laredo. | ||
| But apparently... Oh, well, and I just found out, too, that video we played yesterday of the guy with the forced vaccination, that was in Dallas. | ||
| So apparently that was in Texas, too, which is just wild that all of this is going on, which, again, doesn't make sense. | ||
| And now the State Department has issued this statement yesterday evening We urge U.S. citizens who wish to return to the U.S. to do so now or be prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| That is scary. | ||
| And by the way, these Navy ships that they sent to aid New York and L.A., guess what? | ||
| The boats are empty. | ||
| Less than 100 patients on all the boats combined. | ||
| There was the weird story about the engineer derailing his train on purpose, saying because of the government takeover with the boats. | ||
| Very odd, that story. | ||
| And then, in Vermont, this may end up going nationwide. | ||
| Walmart told to halt in-store sales of non-essential items. | ||
| And guess what one of those items is? | ||
| Seeds. Seeds for gardening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seeds. What? | |
| That doesn't make sense either. | ||
| But today is the homeschool special. | ||
| The lines are filled up with people who want to talk about homeschooling. | ||
| But first, Savannah Hernandez in studio. | ||
| She was homeschooled. Here's some of the facts I know. | ||
| You graduated from college, what, age 20? | ||
| Mm-hmm. Age 20. | ||
| Graduated from high school age 17? | ||
| 16. 16. | ||
| So ahead of other people in your age group as far as that's concerned, people may be surprised Savannah's only 23 years old, ahead of a lot of her peers professionally as well. | ||
| You've kind of learned that through talking with some of your peers that are the same age and nowhere near as successful. | ||
| I think that's because you're also very talented. | ||
| But talk about your experience with homeschooling, what you think the pros are and the cons are. | ||
| I thought it was a great experience. | ||
| Of course, when I was homeschooled, I'm a very social person. | ||
| And, you know, a lot of times people are going to say, too, that's one of the biggest arguments in terms of homeschooling is your child isn't going to get socialized. | ||
| So as a kid, I didn't like it because I wasn't in a classroom setting. | ||
| I did go to school from preschool to fourth grade. | ||
| And so I was already used to that. | ||
| And then I was homeschooled from fourth until I graduated now. | ||
| But looking back on it now, I am really grateful that I was homeschooled because, and I was thinking about this too, my freshman year in college, I had a history class. | ||
| It was 7 a.m. It was a big seminar. | ||
| So you just had to sign in. | ||
| And I hate early morning classes. | ||
| I basically missed about a month and a half of the whole entire class. | ||
| But the professor put out the pinpoints and the presentations. | ||
| So I basically studied for the final by myself instead of going to class. | ||
| Missed two months of class almost and then aced the final. | ||
| And so I'm grateful for being homeschooled because it taught me how to teach myself, how to take initiative, how to, I mean, I guess how long it actually takes me to learn specific things. | ||
| And I was talking to my mom about this too, asking her why she thought it was good to homeschool her kids or what she sees differently in my brother and sister as opposed to kids who are in public school. | ||
| And that's what she said too. | ||
| It's that homeschooling It forces your child to learn how to learn on their own, to take their own initiative, to get things done on their own time. | ||
| And I think it is good too because we were talking in the break with Scott and I was saying that in math class in school, I'm so bad at math and I was constantly having a hard time because, you know, you're moving at the pace with the whole entire class, whether you're good at math or bad at math, you're all moving at the same pace. | ||
| So if you don't know what's going on, you are still on question two, but we're already on question six. | ||
| That's just, you're out of luck, basically. | ||
| And math was really hard for me, but then in language arts, of course, I excelled in that. | ||
| It was very easy and I was bored. | ||
| So when homeschooling, the great thing about that is you allow your child to figure out what they're good at, excel at that, and then you're able to, I guess, play to those strengths and focus on that. | ||
| And then when you go off to college or you decide to go into a trade school, it's really your strengths that are amplified and your strengths that are really, A lot better in everyday life. | ||
| So yeah, looking back on it, it was a really good thing for me. | ||
| I'm glad that I was homeschooled. | ||
| While I was in it, I didn't enjoy it. | ||
| But I think that it was good that I wasn't in public school. | ||
| I almost got expelled from preschool because I used to get in fights. | ||
| I used to get in trouble all the time at school because I was talking, because I was bored. | ||
| I was subjected to bullying a little bit too. | ||
| And being taken out of public school, I was removed from all of that. | ||
| I didn't have to worry about peer pressure from my peers. | ||
| I didn't have to worry about being introduced to drugs and alcohol at such an early age and having to deal with the peer pressure of that. | ||
| I didn't experience any of that until college. | ||
| And I am really grateful for that because I focused on my school. | ||
| I focused on my studies. | ||
| My freshman year of college, I was still living at home because I was too young to go to college at that point. | ||
| So, 16 to 17 years old was dedicated solely to classes, to studies. | ||
| And then because I was too young, I went to a community college. | ||
| I did all my prerequisite courses. | ||
| So I didn't have to pay extra money. | ||
| I didn't have to pay three times as much at a university for the exact same courses. | ||
| So I think overall it was a great thing for me personally and seeing now that a lot of kids are being homeschooled because of the coronavirus. | ||
| I think it's a great thing because now it's going to have parents Have to work with their own children every single day and see the strengths and weaknesses of their child. | ||
| And I think that it's a good thing as well because children need their parents. | ||
| Oftentimes children go to public schools and they're raised by somebody else. | ||
| They're not being raised by their parents anymore. | ||
| So now we're seeing, I guess, this new wave where children are now going to start being raised by their parents. | ||
| I saw this story. It was actually really funny. | ||
| It says that... Let me see if I can find it here. | ||
| Basically that, yeah, parents with their children at home, haircuts and no affairs, the virus has forced us to live in a weirdly moralistic way. | ||
| So it's just funny to me how now raising your own child and teaching your own child is weirdly moralistic. | ||
| And we've gotten so far... | ||
| As a society from the traditional family that now it's weird to stay home with your own child. | ||
| And a lot of these articles that are coming out now about homeschooling are saying, well, one of the biggest pitfalls and downfalls that you're going to deal with is having to stay with your child all day. | ||
| And it's so sad that that's seen as a pitfall now that people are... | ||
| You know, oh, I have to take time off of my career to homeschool my child and to teach my child. | ||
| And we're just really seeing this age of selfishness. | ||
| And people are realizing now, like, hey, this is your child. | ||
| Raise them up. Teach them. | ||
| And that's where we're at now because of the coronavirus. | ||
| And I think, you know, my experience with homeschooling, I don't have any myself, but I used to be involved in youth and urban development in St. | ||
| Louis. And so one of the things that I used to do is I would deal with separate groups of children We're good to go. | ||
| And so, what I discovered early on, and I actually think region has a lot to do with this too. | ||
| This was in St. Louis, Missouri, where there's a really, really strong private school system. | ||
| And for a lot of folks, it's affordable. | ||
| It's not like in other areas, which only the elite can do it. | ||
| It's very intertwined in society. | ||
| It's kind of an odd thing, even for St. | ||
| Louis. Yeah. | ||
| against the rest of the nation at least and it's mostly Catholic people, Catholic schools or Christian schools. But so what I learned was the reason why most if not all the homeschool kids I deal with are dealt with at the time the parents would pretty much give two reasons and one was they didn't want to give their kids the vaccines that they would have to give them for them to go to the | ||
| public school system. | ||
| And then the second reason I got was they didn't want their children to be introduced to the communist, anti-American indoctrination that they would get at some of these public schools. | ||
| And for me at the time, I was younger at the time, and it didn't, I mean, at the time, the whole indoctrination communism didn't really stick. | ||
| It makes more sense to me now. | ||
| And I'll say this, the kids that I dealt with, and there's other factors, but it was pretty much just 100% cases. | ||
| The kids that I dealt with that were not homeschooled were all horribly mannered, horribly, I mean, attention deficit. | ||
| Like, you couldn't get them to pay attention. | ||
| Were not well behaved. | ||
| Snot running down their nose. | ||
| Like, didn't even look healthy half the time. | ||
| Where the homeschool kids were like, always healthy. | ||
| Attentive. Easy to keep in line. | ||
| Like, easy to get them to understand. | ||
| Easy to get them to teach. | ||
| They seemed excited to learn. | ||
| So, I know there's other factors, but I think that that is a big difference with homeschooling and going to school. | ||
| There's that angst of being in school where you don't want to be all day. | ||
| You don't really want to learn. Savannah Hernandez still with us. | ||
| Callers are lined up, I promise. | ||
| We're going to go to your calls shortly. | ||
| We're going to have Carrie Donovan on with us next segment. | ||
| Homeschooling expert. Also a great reporter in her own right as well. | ||
| I've known Carrie for some time. | ||
| A couple last comments here with Savannah. | ||
| She's welcome to stick around if she wants. | ||
| But I do think it's a fair... | ||
| Um, criticism, if you want to call it that, maybe that's the wrong word or setback of homeschooling is you do lose that social aspect of thing. | ||
| You do kind of lose that aspect with your kids. | ||
| And that's something that's tough to kind of introduce them to because in a way that's organic. | ||
| You can't really teach that experience. | ||
| Every kid is going to have a unique experience in that way growing up. | ||
| Uh, but I do think that there's ways you can kind of mitigate that. | ||
| I don't know if there's something you experienced as far as that's concerned, but that's one thing that I think is definitely a fair thing to consider and talk about when you're thinking about homeschooling your kids, how you want to mitigate that or deal with that factor, maybe the setbacks that they could have socially. | ||
| What would you say about that? | ||
| Did you have any of that? I don't agree with that at all because, well, for one, I come from a very big family. | ||
| So I had a lot of cousins that I was constantly socializing with. | ||
| But let's take family out of the picture. | ||
| I lived in Farmington, New Mexico, tiny little city in the middle of nowhere. | ||
| And I still socialized with a bunch of kids every single week because there's homeschooling groups that you can be a part of in every single state. | ||
| You can even go to your local high school. | ||
| You can be a part of the sports team. | ||
| I was a part of cheerleading for a small time. | ||
| So I don't think that the socialization argument is... | ||
| I don't know. I don't see how... | ||
| Those are ways of mitigating. | ||
| Again, and I'm not saying it's like be-all, end-all, but I think that the experience growing up in the world... | ||
| How do you say it? It's like, and maybe it is a bad thing, because look, what kids have to deal with is a lot of immoral, decadent, degenerate, gluttonous stuff. | ||
| And yeah, that's most of the stuff you're missing out on that the other kids are kind of enduring, you know, learning the cuss words and, you know, all the other, you know, stuff that goes on. | ||
| Maybe you want your kids to avoid that. | ||
| But I think there does come a point in time where children run into that social world and they're just not really prepared for it. | ||
| I guess so, but there's also a lot of public schoolers that I've met who, because again, you say that a lot of homeschoolers are antisocial or that they aren't exposed to being socialized, right? | ||
| But there are a lot of kids in public school who, I guess, are thrown into the exact same situation and I wouldn't say, like, I don't know. | ||
| I guess it's dependent on the child, really. | ||
| It really is dependent. I never personally had any problem with socialization. | ||
| And I guess those were the different routes that my parents took and being able to put me in groups. | ||
| I also started working when I was 16 as well. | ||
| So I had socialization through that. | ||
| I was in church groups, socialization through that. | ||
| So there are various ways. | ||
| So I think it varies case by case. | ||
| You know, and I think what it is, too, I think hearing you say that, it kind of gave me a clearer picture of what I'm saying. | ||
| And it really might not even necessarily be a bad thing. | ||
| It may be something that just, you know, kids will have to work their way around. | ||
| But I think it's more just like they're outside of the mainstream cultural stuff. | ||
| And so once they try to kind of make friends that came up in that stuff, You know, they're missing out on little inside jokes. | ||
| They didn't see movies or TV shows. | ||
| And so they're kind of a little bit behind on that scale. | ||
| Which, again, that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you measure it. | ||
| Right, so I feel like that is a fair judgment to make, but also I would say that homeschool kids are ahead in more important things. | ||
| Well, and that's what I'm saying. You make that measurement and you say, hey, you know what, I'll accept them being maybe two or three years behind socially because they're going to be five years ahead professionally or, you know, their knowledge is concerned. | ||
| Did you know that one out of three students who are in university come from public school don't know how to boil an egg? | ||
| Wouldn't surprise me. Nobody knows how to even file taxes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. But that's just an educational problem more than anything. | |
| Well, and I mean, it even goes into our education here in the United States as well. | ||
| We're ranked 27th in education worldwide. | ||
| So, I mean... | ||
| And we've played the Common Core math videos as well, how confusing it is in terms of teaching that to students. | ||
| So if you take all of those statistics, I mean, personally, you know, you're putting a child in this huge classroom with all these other kids. | ||
| You're giving them standardized testing. | ||
| They have to deal with the Common Core math. | ||
| We don't even have a good education system to begin with. | ||
| So... Okay, let's say that we're behind socially. | ||
| We're not able to socialize as much, but we're way ahead in terms of being able to take care of ourselves, in terms of knowing real world things. | ||
| And I guess the argument is, hey, if you're in the position now where you have to homeschool your kids, that's okay. | ||
| There's good things about that. | ||
| Interdimensional and multi-universal. | ||
| This is the InfoWars War Room. | ||
| Samantha Hernan is still in studio. | ||
| Carrie Donovan, homeschooling expert, is with us. | ||
| She is going to make herself available for any questions you, the audience, may have. | ||
| the lines are filled right now. It seems like it's mostly people that just want to comment on homeschooling but we'll see how that goes. | ||
| And by the way, Carrie Donovan also does work as a reporter so you may have seen or heard of her before as well but she's here today to talk about the homeschooling issue. So first let's just go to Carrie. She's been tuned in hearing some of this conversation. So let's go to Carrie. Carrie, you've homeschooled three kids, correct? Yes, three. | ||
| Three kids. So talk about your experience and then compare it to what we've been talking about here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, so I've been homeschooling for 21 years, three kids, and I think that you've been having a great conversation. | |
| I think it's so important. | ||
| I'm so impressed with you guys here. | ||
| At the war room. Because when I was deciding to homeschool, I was looking all over online, looking for information. | ||
| And I did watch early Infowars, by the way. | ||
| And I found a lot of my information on Free Republic about what was going on in the school system. | ||
| I'm sorry, I don't know where to look. | ||
| You can just look straight at the camera on your thing. | ||
| I'm sure we've got a bunch of flashing graphics. | ||
| Folks, our guests, when we send them a screen, there's like numbers flashing and all kinds of stuff, so it's confusing. | ||
| I know, just stare at yourself or a number we're putting out there or right at your camera, whatever you want. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got it. So anyway, yeah, we need places like what you're doing right here at The War Room to get information out to parents. | |
| About what's going on in the school system. | ||
| I think that you made a great point about the socialization. | ||
| That is something that was concerning to me. | ||
| I had Boy Scouts and church stuff and all of that stuff, but I did something I called like common culture, which I remember having my kids watch Spongebob Squarepants to get common culture. | ||
| Because there are those inside jokes, right? | ||
| And that is a downside. | ||
| That is a drawback. | ||
| It is what it is. Savannah likes Spongebob. | ||
| I love Spongebob. | ||
| But you know, Carrie, you said that you homeschooled your three kids. | ||
| Now, I mean, I don't know how grown they are now, but I guess in terms of the socialization, how do you feel being homeschooled has impacted them in that way? | ||
|

|
So my oldest son is going to graduate from college. | |
| He's 21. And he did complain a little bit. | ||
| He decided he wanted to go play football. | ||
| So he went and played football. | ||
| And they ended up to be like a championship team. | ||
| It was very exciting for him to be a part of that. | ||
| And he did say that it was hard to get along with the guys in the locker room, as you can imagine, right? | ||
| Because there were drawbacks there. | ||
| And they teased him a little bit. | ||
| And it was hard for him. But he overcame it. | ||
| So I'm not saying it's not an obstacle that... | ||
| Can be overcome. My second son, Steven, is going to graduate from college, and he's 17. | ||
| He's just, you know, he's always been on his own path. | ||
| And he's now in college. | ||
| He's a senior in college, and he has his own buddies. | ||
| And, you know, he's fine. | ||
| But looking back on it, it was hard for him because he didn't have any peers really to pal around with. | ||
| So... They both sort of want a different track, but my older son Jimmy does say that he wishes that that socialization was a little easier for him because he took that, you know, go hang out in the locker room with a bunch of high school football players. | ||
| That's hard. And plus, we all know how ruthless young children can be with bullying and stuff like that. | ||
| Everybody has to kind of go through their own phase of that. | ||
| But it seems to me that the oldest one in the family usually has the most social drawbacks because it's kind of the first child you're going through the homeschooling experience with. | ||
| Plus, they don't have the younger siblings there to socialize with. | ||
| Would you agree with that, Savannah and Carrie? | ||
| I actually had an opposite experience. | ||
| I'm the most social one in my family. | ||
| But you were also the only one that ever went to a public school, right? | ||
| I guess so, yeah. So, okay, if we want to take my sister, for example, which still wouldn't be fair because she and I have completely different personalities. | ||
| She and I are very different, though, and maybe that could be attributed to her being homeschooled. | ||
| She is a lot more reserved than I am. | ||
| And Carrie, you did mention, too, how your son was having trouble, you know, connecting with the boys in the locker room, locker room talk, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And that is a drawback that I had in college, too, but it was more of... | ||
| Oh, you've never taken this drug before. | ||
| You've never drank alcohol. | ||
| You're still a virgin. You haven't done this. | ||
| So it's a lot of those things in society that I feel like parents want to protect their children from that I couldn't relate to my peers about as opposed to more cultural references other than not knowing who Jimi Hendrix is, I guess. | ||
| But I don't know. It was fun, though, too, because being in college, a lot of people were like, oh, wow, you don't know what this is. | ||
| Let me teach you. And so a lot of other kids were really excited to share with me all the things that I didn't learn. | ||
| And You know, again, it varies from person to person. | ||
|

|
Carrie? Well, you know, as a parent, I'm kind of a little bit of a helicopter mom, okay? | |
| Guilty. I want to wrap my kids up in bubble wrap, and I don't want really anybody to influence them except for me, right? | ||
| So, and sorry about my background, too, now that I see it. | ||
| Ah, what a mess. Anyway, I didn't want my children really to be influenced by anybody but me. | ||
| That is the truth. But I know in my rational mind that that's not good for my children to when I go to release them into the world that they've only been influenced by me. | ||
| So it was very important to me that my kids were introduced to what I call common culture. | ||
| And I did go out of my way to make sure that they each had influences. | ||
| So, for example, in Boy Scouts, I had them in a troop of other boys who were all public school instead of going to the one that was the homeschool group. | ||
| Because I didn't want my kids to only be around all homeschoolers all of the time. | ||
| As a parent, it was important to me to have them be able to get along with people who were not homeschooled. | ||
| Well, you know, it sounds, too, that this is something that, you know, each parent really has to consider and do the due diligence as well, which, you know, it is more of an effort thing. | ||
| But it seems like that's kind of the best way, if you're worried about any setbacks socially, is, hey, there are ways to mitigate that. | ||
| There are ways to get them involved. | ||
| And, you know, you can make it so that it's not so rough on kids when they go into non-school settings or into college or whatever. | ||
| So, but that, again, it kind of just is an advantage of homeschooling is you get to kind of customize the experience however you feel, you know, whatever is the best for your child. | ||
| Let's take the first call here. | ||
| Let's take a first call here. | ||
| Let's go to Todd, a homeschool dad in North Carolina. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead, Todd. Hey Owen, can you hear me? | |
| Yep, go ahead. Okay, so I guess I would say for homeschoolers, bear with me just one second. | ||
| I'm another pressure washer. | ||
| Wait, guys, we had somebody call in yesterday pressure washing their driveway. | ||
| It was not Todd. So we found out two people. | ||
| People are listening to the war room. | ||
| Is that what people are doing during the epidemic right now? | ||
| They're jackhammering, they're power washing, they're clearing out their gutters. | ||
| All right, Todd, are you with us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm here. So what I was going to say about homeschooling is your kids are going to be as cool as their parents are. | |
| Okay? Very true. | ||
| If your homeschool parents... | ||
| If you're outgoing, if you're athletic, if you're adventurous, your kids are going to be that way. | ||
| If you're complete nerds like that Tim Tebow guy or Sam Sorbo and her kids, then, you know, you've got some socialization to do. | ||
| Did you just drop Tim Tebow? | ||
| I'm sorry, Tim Tebow is really cool. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, what do you mean? Uh-huh. | |
| No, I'm being completely sarcastic. | ||
| Of course he's cool. He was homeschooled. | ||
| So you've had a good experience homeschooling your kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, what I've done with my kids and my wife has done with our kids is we've been completely honest with them about a lot of stuff. | |
| So I think that's a key to parenting in general is don't hide your kids from the world, but guide them through kind of all the pitfalls and the landmines and all that stuff. | ||
| And that's kind of what we've aimed to do. | ||
| My kids, they're involved in year-round swimming, a lot of social activities and things like that. | ||
| So my son, he actually hid the fact that he was a homeschooler from a lot of his friends. | ||
| And then he would make fun of other homeschoolers pretending like he was a public Oh, no. | ||
| Hey, that's one way to fit in. | ||
| Dad, I'm glad that you brought up the point, too, though, that your kid is going to be as cool as their parents are because, you know what, that's something that my dad always says all the time. | ||
| He's like, you know, you can thank me for the fact that you're a little bit cool, so there you go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I guess it's true. I guess it's true. | |
| But he must have missed showing you a Jimi Hendrix album or Nirvana. | ||
| He was working. Yeah, no, my mom, she had the final say-so. | ||
| Hey, thank you, Todd. All right, more calls coming up when we get back. | ||
| Well, we are in the middle of the homeschool call-in special. | ||
| We've got Carrie Donovan, a homeschool expert, with us. | ||
| Three kids under her belt. | ||
| And I wanted to have people calling in. | ||
| the kind of the purpose of today's show was there's a lot of parents seriously looking at their future of their kids education because they're being forced to stay home right now. | ||
| Some of them are going right into homeschooling, others are debating what to do. | ||
| So I wanted to kind of have this platform to just take calls on questions. | ||
| But most of the callers that we have on the line are just calling in because they were homeschooled and they want to talk about their experience. | ||
| But we do have Yvonne in Texas who is seeking some advice. | ||
| So let's go to Yvonne now. | ||
| Yvonne, thank you for calling in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, what's up? | |
| So, I'm going to call in Yvonne. | ||
| I'm going to call in Yvonne. | ||
| I don't know. I have a question, comment, just seeking advice. | ||
| I have a four-year-old that was in pre-K, which I've been wanting to take him out before his first grade, especially that they were trying to get the... | ||
| I had a forum at school that they would talk about sexuality, which I thought was insane. | ||
| But I'm really into, you know, wanting to homeschool. | ||
| I'm just nervous. I'm scared. | ||
| My oldest, he's a little behind. | ||
| He's a little challenging. | ||
| And they want to put him on the spectrum, but at the same time, he's not vaccinated. | ||
| I think there's a little bit more to him. | ||
| He's very intelligent. | ||
| At four years old, he knows how to pick words out and read them, if they're big words. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| I'm just a little nervous right now. | ||
| But I just need advice. | ||
| I need help. And one thing also, the parents are cool. | ||
| My husband and I are cool. We always went to shows and concerts, so they definitely wouldn't know who Jimi Hendrix is. | ||
| So let's get Carrie and Yvonne to talk to one another here. | ||
| So, Carrie, go ahead and respond to Yvonne. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would love to respond. | |
| And cut me off if I go on too long because I could talk all day about this topic. | ||
| But the first thing is I want to say, how do we know a four-year-old is behind? | ||
| Behind what? This is a child who's supposed to be spending his time playing. | ||
| Playing is learning at four years old, right? | ||
| So... That bothers me when schools label children as behind, especially when they are that young. | ||
| So whatever you do, you're going to be doing better than an established school that is already labeling a child as behind. | ||
| The brain is a It is a learning machine. | ||
| And so we have to remember that, that a lot of the things that we're doing at home are, it's a learning environment if you make it a learning environment, right? | ||
| So they're just going to keep learning and learning and learning. | ||
| The pressure is on because of the superiority in which these people handle themselves, when in fact they don't even know what they're talking about. | ||
| So I encourage you, you sound like a smart woman, I encourage you to explore how you can make your home a learning environment And play up to your children's, you know, what they're good at. | ||
| Stop telling children that they're bad at something. | ||
| They're only four years old. | ||
| This is just going to cause a lot of stigmas. | ||
| So anyway, I could go on and on and on. | ||
| It is uncomfortable. | ||
| It's a little scary, but you can do it. | ||
| So I'm going to give Savannah a chance because I will go on too long. | ||
| Yvonne, I think that, of course, your nervousness is something that all parents who are going to homeschool experience. | ||
| My mom did as well. | ||
| But the great thing about homeschooling is that you are going to make mistakes, but you're going to learn with your child as well. | ||
| Me and my siblings tease my mom all the time because she's so bad at math as well, and she also helps us learn math. | ||
| Of course, we're kind of our own teachers, so... | ||
| When we really need help, we'll ask her. | ||
| And she's not the best either, but she's learned alongside with us, and it's been a great process, and it's helped us all become closer. | ||
| So your fears are natural. | ||
| There's so many great websites that you can find online. | ||
| The HSLDA is a good one. | ||
| It's like a legal defense for homeschoolers, but there are good statistics on there about homeschooling. | ||
| There is good information about homeschooling in your state, what you're going to need to do specifically. | ||
| So there's so much resources and information, but... | ||
| The nervousness is natural. | ||
| As a parent, whether you're homeschooling or not, you're going to make mistakes. | ||
| But I think that making those mistakes, learning from them, and then helping your child grow from there is the best thing that you can do for them. | ||
| Yeah, hey, I was never homeschooled. | ||
| I can still barely do math. | ||
| Yvonne, anything else? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I appreciate you having this show. | |
| I do listen a lot to David Knight, and I know he homeschooled, and I really like whenever he talks about homeschooling, and I like when Rob Dew does, too. | ||
| I really like for y'all to have more, I guess, I don't know, maybe segments about homeschooling or teaching, and at the same time, maybe kids' supplements. | ||
| My little one tried honorable, but he wants to bite it, and it's a pill, so it's really much for him. | ||
| So I would love some kind of kids' supplements. | ||
| I think I can't remember what Alex Jones talked about that I could put the vitamin mineral fusion, maybe not as the whole scoop, but half a scoop or a little bit in their juices. | ||
| So stuff like that. But I appreciate this. | ||
| I am excited y'all talking about it. | ||
| And yeah, that's all. | ||
| Thank you so much for calling. | ||
| And you know, my goal with this, I mean, I'll just go ahead and out myself at the risk of them trying to get ahead of this, but it's mostly just run by AI now anyway. | ||
| My goal is that this is the type of broadcast, and we're going to clip it all up so that we don't put some of the coronavirus stuff in there. | ||
| But I want to put this up, and this is the kind of thing that is just evergreen on YouTube, folks. | ||
| That can just be an evergreen resource for people to go to, you know, if they're considering homeschooling their kids, you know, the pros, the cons, what to think about. | ||
| Because that's the other thing, too. I mean, most of this is just... | ||
| Thinking about these things. | ||
| Like, you just don't even think about these things until you hear it. | ||
| And you're like, oh, yeah, of course that makes sense. | ||
| Like, Kerry, you just said a learning environment in your home. | ||
| Like, of course. Like, you know, you're thinking, well, what can I do with my house? | ||
| I got all these things. I got my office space. | ||
| And then the storage in the basement and this big screen TV and the distractions and the desk. | ||
| And it's like, oh, okay, the learning environment for my kids. | ||
| And it just kind of clicks like that. | ||
| Let's take another call here from Reese in Pittsburgh, a homeschool parent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead, Reese. You know, my kids follow pretty much the same path as your guests. | |
| And, you know, quite frankly put, you go through all the same things. | ||
| You know, you're going to get criticism from people that don't take the time to spend that time with their kids in homeschool. | ||
| But a couple quick points. My kids went to Mount Lebanon Elementary School and Washington Elementary School in Mount Lebanon, PA, one of the highest-rated schools in the state. | ||
| Basically, what I found is I was told my child was failing in math. | ||
| She was seven years old. | ||
| So I went in, I sat in on classes for two weeks. | ||
| I took a month off from school, from work, to go to the school and sit in. | ||
| What I found was that my kids were at school for 5.5 hours a day, and the school was only held accountable to have them on task for 2.1 hours. | ||
| The class was 40 minutes long, the math class, and the teacher spent all four days that I was in reviewing She spent all four days at least 16 to 18 minutes of the class talking about politics. | ||
| She spent about 16 minutes of the class maybe giving the kids some help with math. | ||
| So, what I was finding was I was responsible as a homeschool parent to keep kids on task for 3.4 hours a day. | ||
| The school was only responsible for 2.1 hours a day, and they were there for 5.5 hours a day. | ||
| So, I mean, the rest of it's political indoctrination. | ||
| It's, you know, it's Title I money that the government gives the schools and they're accountable for this political agenda. | ||
| I'm sorry we got to cut you off. We're going to a break, but excellent point. | ||
| A lot of people see that and they go to homeschooling. | ||
| And we are talking to experts on the issue of homeschooling. | ||
| Which has been, I think, kind of a growing phenomenon, if you will, in America for many different reasons. | ||
| One of them being parents don't like seeing their kids indoctrinated at these public schools. | ||
| That's been a major factor. | ||
| Parents don't want the forced vaccinations on their kids, which they force you to do. | ||
| If you want to send your kids to some of these schools, they don't like that. | ||
| But now a lot of parents are being forced to To think about or even homeschool their kids with the coronavirus shutdown and all the schools being shut down. | ||
| So we're using this opportunity to get the homeschool experts on, get their questions asked. | ||
| And we got a lot of other great callers lined up as well. | ||
| A couple open lines if people want to try to call in if you have questions for our homeschooling experts. | ||
| 877-789-2539. | ||
| Carrie, you heard the last caller. | ||
| Did you want to respond to anything he was saying? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um... You know, I'm just excited that this program is on and reaching people and giving people an opportunity to talk and, you know, call in with their comments and their questions. | |
| It is invaluable that we don't feel like we're shut away, you know, that you're bringing people together. | ||
| So, great calls. | ||
| All right, let's go back out to the calls then. | ||
| You know, an interesting point here from Hatman in Florida says homeschooling won't last, can't indoctrinate the kids. | ||
| Yeah, I do fear they're going to find some way to go after homeschooling parents. | ||
| We're already seeing that with people that don't want to vaccinate their kids. | ||
| So let's see what Hatman has to say on this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey Owen, exactly right. | |
| This whole indoctrinating the kids, this whole homeschooling thing, before you know it, they're going to be like, oh, send your kids back to school because they're going to start losing their grasp on the young kids and that's where they're going to start to panic and say, oh, let's stop the homeschooling thing. | ||
| Yeah, let me turn that into a question for Carrie, actually, Hat Man. | ||
| Thank you for bringing this issue up. | ||
| And let me turn that into a question. | ||
| Carrie, what kind of difficulties did you have to go through? | ||
| You know, what kind of red tape or obstacles do they set up to make it difficult for you to even homeschool your kids? | ||
| I'm sure that there's some of that going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I started my homeschool journey, actually, I was a part of a strategic planning session in Pennsylvania. | |
| And so I was already mixing in with the administrators in my school district, the administrators, some teachers, and some public members. | ||
| And at the time, I didn't know it, but it was a pilot program for Common Core. | ||
| And so my son was one. | ||
| I started investigating what the schools were doing in my area, and I got a little card in the mail saying, hey, do you want to be a part of planning the future curriculum for this school? | ||
| And I said yes. So these people had been with me for a year. | ||
| They knew me and they were very excited when I just said I am going to homeschool. | ||
| After being with me for a year and seeing the kinds of questions that I was asking about what the future was for the school district. | ||
| This was a small school district in Pennsylvania at the time. | ||
| And so they didn't really set up any obstacles for me. | ||
| The vice principal said to me, actually, we think that you are a very good candidate for homeschooling. | ||
| So please leave us alone. | ||
| Goodbye. And they didn't set up any obstacles for me because they knew I was going to be the kind of parent who would give them trouble. | ||
| So maybe that's kind of the reversal that we see here where they used to try to push people like you out. | ||
| I would imagine we see a reversal of fate when they realize, oh, these parents aren't vaccinating their kids. | ||
| Oh, they're not teaching them to be good commies. | ||
| Oh, they're teaching them the real American history. | ||
| They may try to reverse that fortune and say, oh, you can't homeschool unless you get a vaccine. | ||
| And they'll probably make the parents vaccinate too. | ||
| Seems to be the be-all end-all with every agenda that these people have. | ||
| Savannah, do you want to weigh in on this? | ||
| Yeah, so I'm glad that we did bring up this issue because I previously brought up the HSLDA, and that's the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. | ||
| And the reason why they're even a thing is because there's such strict rules in specific states for homeschoolers. | ||
| I know that New York and California are some of those states where homeschooling parents are so closely regulated by the government because they want to educate their own child. | ||
| They have to keep up with basically like other school officials. They have to correspond with them They have to have samples of the child's schoolwork Like yeah, there's just so many obstacles and things that they have to get through and I think even when we were living in New Mexico There was a couple of people who were coming up to my mom And that's why I know I know about this is because there was like people in the government talking to my mom like hey What are you doing with your kids are your kids up to date? | ||
| Are they behind? | ||
| Where's the proof that you're actually educating them? | ||
| So it's just very interesting because there are oftentimes so many kids in public schools that are falling behind Because the school system is failing them again. We're 27th in the world in education But it's the homeschooling families that are so heavily scrutinized that are so closely watched by the government And, you know, going back into the whole coronavirus aspect of this thing and how it's just another way for the government to take a hold of people's regular lives. | ||
| I think with homeschooling, that's something that they've been dealing with for a long time because they made the personal decision that they wanted to educate their own child. | ||
| And so the government is closely watching those families. | ||
| The government is imposing upon their personal lives and saying, well, what are you doing? | ||
| We need to constantly be regulating you and monitoring you. | ||
| Quickly, Carrie, did you experience any of that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, but, you know, I have a pocket constitution with me just about everywhere, so, you know, I just hold it up. | |
| People don't bother me because they know pretty much not to bother me. | ||
| You know, it's an amazing thing. It's kind of like if you're selected for jury duty and you say jury nullification, lawyers can't get you out of that courtroom quick enough. | ||
| It's like the same thing goes with tyrants. | ||
| You tell them you know that you have a rights, that you have a bill of rights, they just, they cower in fear because they know it's real. | ||
| Something too, like that caller Yvonne said, she said, well, I'm kind of nervous to start homeschooling. | ||
| So, you know, you do have a lot of these parents who are homeschooling for the first time. | ||
| They're nervous. And then a government official comes and knocks on their door and starts asking them all of these questions and really putting on the pressure. | ||
| Why isn't your child in school? | ||
| And it can scare a lot of people because a lot of people don't know their rights, which is why... | ||
| Why aren't you teaching your child how great Mao Zedong is? | ||
| You're like, what? That murderous Chinese dictator? | ||
| It's like, yes, we teach that in the public school. | ||
| The Chinese runs our system now. | ||
| In fact, that's a real thing, folks. | ||
| Look up the Confucius Society of Texas. | ||
| Chinese infiltrating, China infiltrating your colleges. | ||
| We got so many great callers coming up, including a really special caller coming up. | ||
| If you think Savannah Hernandez is a sales point for homeschooling, another great caller coming up as well. | ||
| First, let's go to Justin, though. | ||
| His wife and him homeschooled their son in Indiana. | ||
| Go ahead, Justin. Hi, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks for taking my call. | |
| We've been at homeschooling before it was forced like the vaccines will be. | ||
| But anyway, my son, we started homeschooling him after kindergarten because he was doing very well in school. | ||
| But he was having a hard time reading red, so the teacher used a red marker, and so he was struggling in his reading. | ||
| So she figured it out. | ||
| She changed the marker to black. | ||
| His grades shot up back to normal. | ||
| He was always exceeding in school. | ||
| And then after about a month, she decided to go back to the red marker because she said that she didn't want to have to cater to one kid Because her favorite color was red. | ||
| And then after that, at the local high school, they had that walkout for gun day two years ago or whatever. | ||
| We had found out that at the high school, the kids were told that if they didn't participate in it, then they would get their prom taken away. | ||
| And hearing that, I was like, you know what? | ||
| I'm not gonna have my son being brought into their beliefs and trying to indoctrinate him. | ||
| I'm not doing that. So we pulled him out. | ||
| And he does BMX, and we own a BMX team, so he gets the socialization. | ||
| That's one thing we were worried about was socialization, but he sees his teammates year-round, and they have the local groups for, like, homeschooling, and when he does go to them groups, he's usually the coolest kid there anyways because he does BMX and all the kids want to do it and stuff. | ||
| So it was just the greatest decision that we made. | ||
| My wife's stay-at-home mom, and I'm a trucker, so she's, you know, able to stay home and do it. | ||
| The only complaint is sometimes my son gets mad and says his teacher sucks. | ||
| But other than that, it's just that... | ||
| And you're like, I know, son. | ||
| I know. Too much. | ||
| Hey, thank you for the call, Justin. | ||
| I gotta go to a break. But, you know, again, we're hearing the same things. | ||
| Parents not wanting to vaccinate their kids, choosing homeschooling. | ||
| Parents not wanting their kids to deal with the indoctrination, choosing homeschooling. | ||
| And then sports and extracurricular activities being used to get them into the social environment. | ||
| Final segment with Carrie Donovan. | ||
| We thank her so much for joining us. | ||
| By the way, she also is a writer and researcher, so if you see her out there, some of her great stories, you'll now know the face that goes along with the story. | ||
| She's with us one more segment. As I said, though, we're still taking your calls, and I've got a big announcement coming up. | ||
| If Savannah Hernandez isn't enough proof that homeschooling works, you may be familiar with the next caller, Damani Felder, who for my money runs the best TikTok out there. | ||
| Always good for a laugh, but he also does commentary, political commentary on YouTube as well. | ||
| Very popular on Twitter, but Damani calls in today from Dallas. | ||
| I wouldn't have known this about you, Damani, but you were homeschooled as well. | ||
| You've been tuned in. You were homeschooled. | ||
| What do you have to say about today's conversation and the homeschooling issue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I was homeschooled all 12 years, actually. | |
| What I really wanted to share was that a lot of the reticence and the fear that a lot of parents, I think, have is because they fear they might not have all the tools and resources they need to best equip their children for success. | ||
| Both my parents were products of the public school system. | ||
| But even then, back in the 70s and 80s, they realized the societal degradation or so on and so forth, and they realized they could probably do better themselves. | ||
| And there are so many resource groups available to people who might not have all the resources that we're talking about. | ||
| There's co-ops, you know, regionally based co-ops as well. | ||
| But I think the best thing that homeschooling affords is the chance for parents to really connect with their children one-on-one and not relegate that duty to the, you know, basically the government. | ||
| We've seen how the government is trying to really get to the children and plant these ideas at a very young age. | ||
| And I think when you are able to reclaim that effectively and engage with your child, it's something that's going to pay dividends in the future. | ||
| My parents made sure to make learning a fun experience and also make it a challenging experience. | ||
| They pushed us very hard. All of my siblings, I'm the second oldest of nine. | ||
| We moved around. I've moved 21 times myself because my parents were in the Air Force. | ||
| But what it really allowed us to do was to tailor and personalize The homeschooling experience based on each individual child's unique learning style. | ||
| That's one thing you're not going to get with the cookie cutter one-size-fits-all mentality that we see from a lot of the public school system today. | ||
| Well, and you brought up an interesting point that I want to hone in on, and that is kind of the individual learning experience or the one-on-one touch with parents where some teachers, hey, you know, they may not care whether your kid succeeds or not. | ||
| Fortunately, I went to some good schools growing up. | ||
| I don't think I ever really experienced that in an extreme fashion. | ||
| But Damani, before we get to that, so did your parents homeschool your brothers as well? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. I have four brothers and four sisters, and my mom's still homeschooling. | |
| She's been homeschooling since 1991. | ||
| So she's going on 30 years now. | ||
| My goodness. She's the expert. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She is. She has more patience than I do. | |
| But again, that was born more out of just their desire for us to really grow up, to have those principles and those Christian values instilled from a young age. | ||
| Because even with the tweets that we see from entities like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, they're tweeting about, you know, trans they have visibility. | ||
| And we know that's being trickled down to the children. | ||
| And our parents, they really did shield us from that. | ||
| But I also think that sometimes one of the fears around homeschooling is that you're doing so to keep your kids under a rock and to keep them unsocialized and uninformed about current events. | ||
| And nothing could be further from the truth. | ||
| It all does depend on the parents themselves. | ||
| It starts and ends with them, but my parents, they were able to afford us the chance to actually go out, interact, be part of homeschool groups, I did six-man football for my homeschool group. | ||
| I walked onto the Texas A&M football team. | ||
| I did arena football after that. | ||
| My older brother went to the National Selling Bee in Washington, D.C. That was broadcast by ESPN. So there's so many opportunities out there. | ||
| There's so many ways to get involved. | ||
| We went to the THSC conference down in Houston, Texas. | ||
| Every year was a great chance for us to meet with all of our older homeschool friends as well. | ||
| So there's plenty of opportunities, plenty of ways to socialize and make sure that you don't matriculate through being homeschooled while being So let me kind of put this question out there now. | ||
| And again, I can't say I have any experience with this per se, maybe until college, but that's a different story because most college professors, I mean, they're not supposed to care about you anyway. | ||
| They're just there to, you know, get you to care about yourself and learn. | ||
| But growing up, I went to good schools. | ||
| I never really had to deal with teachers, at least that I feel like didn't care about me learning or my experience. | ||
| But I would imagine in public schools that that is a problem. | ||
| Teachers that just don't care, they just basically, you know, cash it in. | ||
| There's not much pressure on this system. | ||
| They don't get paid much, so there's not much motivation. | ||
| So I would imagine that's a major difference that Damani just highlighted with that personal touch Knowing that the person that is teaching your child actually cares about the result, whereas you just don't know maybe sometimes if the teacher cares or not in the school system. | ||
| Carrie, would you like to comment on that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh, I would love to comment on that. | |
| That is the biggest reason why I finally decided to homeschool, was because someone asked me, you know, who else is going to care more about your child than you. | ||
| I had children who were different learners. | ||
| And I knew that nobody was going to take the time. | ||
| Because again, I went through that whole year period of doing strategic planning with the school system, right? | ||
| So I learned about the educators, what was going on in Common Core, etc., etc. | ||
| But that was really the final straw when I realized, you know, my children have special needs. | ||
| And all children do, actually. | ||
| All children do. But who's going to be there to address it? | ||
| And it's actually not even logical to think. | ||
| That one teacher in a classroom with 30 kids is going to be able to address your child's individual needs. | ||
| So that's huge. | ||
| I really wanted to take the time for my kids to be able to develop independently. | ||
| And that's a lot of time and effort on the parents' part. | ||
| And it has worked out. | ||
| My children are highly successful now because of it. | ||
| So I'm glad that I took the time. | ||
| To care about my kids and what they were learning and how they wanted their education to unfold. | ||
| I'm an unschooler, which means basically I'm very student-centered. | ||
| And I basically say I let my children unfold as they wanted to. | ||
| Because ultimately they're the ones that are going to have to propel themselves, motivate themselves. | ||
| And that caring, you know, I thought that was good for them. | ||
| But the educators that I knew, they didn't think that was good for them. | ||
| They wanted them to be in a very strict schedule, you know, learning a lot of indoctrination, reciting a lot of indoctrination. | ||
| That was huge to me. | ||
| They didn't care if learning about social justice was going to help them get a job out of college, for example. | ||
| I cared about that. | ||
| So, yeah, you know, who cares the most about the child? | ||
| That was big. Yeah, and I think there's a lot of different angles to that, too. | ||
| Being a parent, you get to control the environment. | ||
| You get to control what they see, what they read. | ||
| And, you know, that comes, again, with the personal touch. | ||
| Again, you don't know at a school if the teacher really cares about the future. | ||
| Sometimes they may just cash it in. | ||
| They may be upset because they're not getting paid enough. | ||
| There's all kinds of factors involved with that. | ||
| Damani, again, Damani Felder, folks. | ||
| You can follow him on Twitter. Great follow there. | ||
| Thank you for the call. Savannah, anything you want to weigh in on? | ||
| That was actually a reason why my mom started homeschooling me as well, and I found that out when I called her the other day. | ||
| Apparently, my teacher and I, we didn't mesh very well. | ||
| My mom didn't like the way that I was being treated. | ||
| I was disrupting other students because apparently I was finishing my work too fast, so I would start talking to other kids in class, and my teacher didn't like that. | ||
| And yeah, it ultimately led to not the best educational experience for me. | ||
| And Again, it's not fair to put one adult in a room with 30 children and expect that one person to be able to tailor to the needs of each specific child. | ||
| But that was the reason why my mom ended up homeschooling me was because I wasn't getting the education she felt that I needed from my teacher or the care that she felt that I should be getting from my teacher. | ||
| Man, I'm so frustrated with myself right now. | ||
| Normally I write my notes down, but I was listening to Carrie. | ||
| I forgot to write down what I was thinking. | ||
| But, Carrie, we got just over a minute left. | ||
| Just before you depart here, just give one last comment here on homeschooling and what you'd like the audience to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, thank you for letting me be here and chat about homeschooling. | |
| It is like my obsession. | ||
| So if anybody has any questions for me, please contact me on Twitter. | ||
| I love talking about homeschooling. | ||
| It is the greatest decision that I made. | ||
| You know, the most weighty because it's my children. | ||
| And then, you know, to go alone, to go it alone. | ||
| I did have a little bit of a, you know, support group with me, but to go it alone, away from the schools, especially back at that time, was a little scary. | ||
| I was scared. There are days when I went, oh my gosh, what was I thinking? | ||
| I can't do this. | ||
| But I just want to tell people, and I don't, I'm not trying to brag, but I want to let people know. | ||
| My kids are highly successful. | ||
| My 17-year-old is a senior in college. | ||
| Oh my gosh, that's what it was. I'm sorry to cut you off, but I doubt this data is out there, but I guarantee you, I wonder how many homeschool kids fall into drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and not to get too dark, but even suicide. | ||
| I mean, that's a problem inflicting teenagers. | ||
| I would bet you the numbers are very low, if not zero. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I could go on. | |
| Oh my gosh, Owen. I could go on and on. | ||
| I don't want to hog the show. | ||
| No, you got 30 seconds though, Carrie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh, I have to wrap it up. | |
| But, you know, we have to minister to our children. | ||
| And parents, you can do it. | ||
| Hang in there. Thank you, War Room, for letting us come in and chat about homeschooling. | ||
| No, absolutely. I think this is a major topic right now, and it's just not being discussed. | ||
| And I think there's people out there that this is now something they're facing, and they don't know where to go. | ||
| They don't have an outlet. They have questions. | ||
| They don't have answers. So we're trying to give them some answers. | ||
| Thank you, Kerry. All right, we're going to get back into the homeschool conversation coming up. | ||
| We're going to go down a different angle with... | ||
| Tracy, Shannon, when we get back. | ||
| And then CJ Pearson is 530, right, guys? | ||
| 530 for CJ? Okay. | ||
| And this is... | ||
| CJ is quite an impressive young man in his own right. | ||
| But the treatment he's receiving right now, folks... | ||
| As a black student in America is going to be... | ||
| Well, it's very shocking. | ||
| Very shocking. And I don't even want to say sad or anything like that because he's so above it, it's not even funny. | ||
| But you'll be amazed to hear this coming up at 5.30. | ||
| And then, of course, Tracy Shannon coming up next. | ||
| And you're not going to believe some of the stuff we talked to Tracy about either, folks. | ||
| And I got stacks of stuff here that she may not even know about yet, but she's going to... | ||
| We know why she homeschools. | ||
| I'll just put it to you that way. But before we do that, let me hit some of this other news, including, guys, I don't think, I think we play this, but let me just, again, I don't think I finished up this thought earlier. | ||
| Yesterday on the war room, this is one of the weirdest things. | ||
| There's always weird things that happen when you're in the info war, but this is one of the weirdest things. | ||
| Yesterday, if you recall, with the crew and I really bearing down into this 5G story with the coronavirus, And the connection and how it's now being totally exposed, how 5G, it's zero doubt, folks. | ||
| Again, there's all kinds of different angles and complexities to this, but there's zero doubt the radio waves emitted by 5G are mutating our cells and therefore make them more vulnerable to a virus infection, okay? | ||
| That's well-known science. | ||
| It was well-known in the 1910s. | ||
| And in 1917, when they were rolling out electricity and all these other radio waves, and they were warning about it then. | ||
| Oh, well then what happened? The Spanish flu outbreak. | ||
| Is there a connection to that? | ||
| Scientists and doctors out there are saying, yes. | ||
| And so we're putting all these pieces together. | ||
| Now, yesterday, when I was live on the war room breaking this down, and the crew found this map, I think we can get a doc cam of this or pull it up, and it's stunning. | ||
| Now look, I'm not saying this is 100% evidence of this being the case, but there is enough evidence that we should be having a serious conversation and investigation about this, which we are not. | ||
| And that is the fact that the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on a map The outbreak map is a mirrored image of the 5G map. | ||
| A mirror image. | ||
| Now, I'll accept the argument that, hey, these are the population dense areas. | ||
| Of course, they're going to have the outbreaks. | ||
| Of course, they're going to have the 5G. Well, that may be true, but that doesn't mean there's not a correlation. | ||
| That does not mean there's not a correlation. | ||
| And we have enough scientific evidence to know there is a relation. | ||
| So as I'm breaking all this down yesterday, because folks, I just go straight from the soul. | ||
| There's hardly a filter. | ||
| And sometimes I regret it because I'm like a sputtering, you know, rocket ship up here. | ||
| And I can't even take a break to kind of cool down the engines. | ||
| So it just came right from the gut, right from the spirit, right from the soul. | ||
| Since they're not going to investigate this or shut this down and we're just being forced to deal with this 5G, how long is it going to be or when do people just start taking these towers down and setting them on fire? | ||
| And I mean, folks, I did not know this was going on. | ||
| As I was saying that, as far as the timing is concerned, literally they were burning down a 5G tower in Europe. | ||
| Literally the exact same time. | ||
| Now, I didn't know that was going on. | ||
| And again, I'm not encouraging violence, folks. | ||
| Okay? I'm not encouraging violence or for you to do anything illegal out there. | ||
| Destruction of property or anything like that. | ||
| But I'm telling you, this is inevitable. | ||
| And unless they release their findings, which they'll never do because it will show you how this 5G is frying us, what are we supposed to do? | ||
| Because you can go out and you can take down a 5G tower and they'll arrest you for destruction of property. | ||
| And look, I'm not encouraging you to do that, but let's say someone does that and they make it their goal to blow this thing out of the water and they're saying, this thing's causing cancer, this thing's killing us. | ||
| Well, who's the real criminal? | ||
| The guy that took down the 5G cancer cell or the guy that, you know... | ||
| Very informative broadcast today on the... | ||
| Topic of homeschooling. | ||
| We're about to have another expert on with us, Tracy Shannon. | ||
| We're going to go in another direction with Tracy here, though. | ||
| But very important, folks. | ||
| Very important. And if the coronavirus is forcing you to homeschool your kids, when you see some of this stuff... | ||
| You're going to maybe really consider it for yourself. | ||
| We're going to get to this momentarily. | ||
| But first, this was by no design, ladies and gentlemen, but it clicked and it made sense. | ||
| And I actually just had a short meeting with Alex about this. | ||
| So you're going to be hearing more about this. | ||
| But let me just go through these headlines. | ||
| Walmart told to halt in-store sales of non-essentials in Vermont. | ||
| That includes seeds. | ||
| So even though they have fully stocked shelves of seeds, yes, seeds that you would grow in a vegetable, plants and garden, They've banned the sale of those in Vermont. | ||
| It's probably going to go nationwide. | ||
| I'll just let you know. | ||
| Vermont decrees home farming non-essential, forbids the selling of seeds. | ||
| So they're about to tell you that farming is a non-essential activity, if you can imagine that. | ||
| Farming. Vermont orders Walmart Target to stop selling non-essential items like seeds in store. | ||
| Coronavirus prevention. Chicopee orders Walmart BJ's others to close areas that sell non-essential goods like seeds. | ||
| I can go on and on and on with this, folks. | ||
| And so I'm sitting here like stunned. | ||
| Like, how can they tell you you can't garden or get seeds during a pandemic? | ||
| And then the crew's like, hey, Owen, you know, we sell seeds. | ||
| And I'm like, I completely forgot. | ||
| Now, I just had a meeting with Alex about this, so I want to give you a fair warning, though, folks. | ||
| Now, we do have a stockpile of seeds remaining available for you to purchase at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| The Organic Urban Garden Seed Kit by Patriot Seeds. | ||
| Okay, and you can read all about this at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| The information is there. We have some other seeds available, but this is the one we have the most available. | ||
| And so here's what I'm going to tell you, though. | ||
| Folks, we're going to sell out of these maybe even by Monday. | ||
| Because this news is going to go viral, and just like we started selling out of the silver, just like we started selling out of some of the supplements, as soon as this catches on and people realize that Infowars is the only place selling seeds, we're going to have a mass rush on the website, just like we had for storable food. | ||
| And you followed that, you know that story. | ||
| So... When you start seeing them, this is what communists do, this is what dictatorships do, this is what tyrannical governments do, tell you you can't have seeds and you can't farm, if you can even imagine that. | ||
| That's what they're doing now. | ||
| Well, we're still selling seeds. | ||
| They're not going to shut us down. | ||
| They're not going to tell us we can't sell seeds. | ||
| But I'm going to warn you, folks, yes, we do have seeds available at InfoWareStore.com. | ||
| These could be sold out by Monday. | ||
| We don't have a deep, deep vault. | ||
| Okay, we've got some available for sale, and they're still available at InfoWareStore.com, but I'm telling you, I would get on this, because these could be out by Monday, and I just had a short meeting with Alex, and he knows this too, so we're going to be, just stay tuned at InfoWareStore at the Seed Vault, and pay attention for that report from Alex Jones, but this is happening right now, folks, so now you know. | ||
| Now, Tracy Shannon, my goodness, Tracy, we've been battling some of the indoctrination in the schools here locally in Texas. | ||
| You've been a part of blowing up major stories like known sex abusers infiltrating drag queen story time. | ||
| And I know that this is a big issue right now for a lot of parents that choose homeschooling. | ||
| Is the fact that you have schools rolling out drag queen story time to their kids, rolling out the sexual indoctrination and all this other stuff. | ||
| And now they're even trying to roll this out for the homeschooling kids. | ||
| I don't know if you've seen this, Tracy, but drag queen Nina West hosts online homeschooling event for kids. | ||
| So they're seeing the trend of people going to homeschooling. | ||
| They know why they're doing it. | ||
| They're trying to infiltrate their agenda into homeschooling as well. | ||
| Tracy Shannon from Mass Resistance Texas, tell us your thoughts or why you wanted to get into homeschooling and then this whole drag queen story time, sexualization of children phenomenon that has really just cemented your reasons for homeschooling. | ||
| Well, initially I got into homeschooling because I had a sick child that had to be home and couldn't go to school. | ||
| When he was six. | ||
| So I went in kind of... | ||
| With my feet kicking and screaming, not really knowing what to do, but that was over 16 years ago, and I found that it's not as hard as I thought it was. | ||
| You don't have to be just like the public school system, but I also found, even when my son was in the public school system initially, that I didn't really care for how they treated the children. | ||
| They're operating the school like it was some kind of a I'm going to go. | ||
| I'm going to go. | ||
| I'm going to go. | ||
| And areas of need in your children is a definite benefit for homeschooling, as well as just not having the public school system undermining your values and traditions in the family and indoctrinating them with liberal agenda. | ||
| So that's why I homeschool. | ||
| Now you've been fighting against the drag queen story time for kids for obvious reasons. | ||
| Again, you helped break one of the stories that an individual had gotten inside the drag queen story time that was a known sexual predator of children. | ||
| They're supposed to be running background checks on these people at libraries and stuff. | ||
| They're not. And so you helped blow that story up. | ||
| Now they're trying, with this drag queen homeschooling event, they're trying to infiltrate your homeschooling. | ||
| But, you know, there's another ripple to this that I want to get your opinion on as well, and I don't know if you've been following this. | ||
| Have you heard of TikTok, Tracy? | ||
| Yes. So TikTok, very, very popular with younger children more so than anything, high school-aged kids, and now even kids that are like 10 have access to cell phones, and so they can get on TikTok and these things. | ||
| And so now also, if you're a parent, folks, you need to be very aware of this. | ||
| Because unlike other social medias, which yeah, there's going to be some bad stuff on there, but it's not really hammering so hard. | ||
| The TikTok is being overwhelmed with adults who know that your kids are on there and they're trying to indoctrinate them. | ||
| I have a whole stack here, Tracy. | ||
| And by the way, the pattern is female doctors, not married, no kids. | ||
| Go figure. Telling your kids how to behave, trying to raise your kids on a social media app known as TikTok, telling them how they can go get birth control, how they can get plan B, how they can go to doctors without their parents noticing, how if their parents come with them to the doctor, they'll tell them to leave the room. | ||
| And then they do this whole thing, which is just like, look, when you're not married and don't have kids by the age of 40, you're going to pretend to be a 13-year-old girl on social media, okay? | ||
| Everybody knows about this phenomenon with women, if they reach a certain age, the biological clock, okay? | ||
| I won't go into that issue. | ||
| But we're seeing this exemplified right now on TikTok. | ||
| So, I mean, Tracy, what is going on with all this indoctrination, this sexual indoctrination, and how the left is trying to get, they're trying to infiltrate your child's mind any which way they can? | ||
| Well, once you get the children hooked, there's a lot of sexual grooming going on towards children. | ||
| And at the same time as you have these adults who think it's their place to try to undermine the values of the parents, either in the school or online, by accessing them through these apps and acting like it's a cool message to say, hey, kids, you can get birth control or abortions or whatever that your parents even know about. | ||
| Hey, maybe even some hormones to transition without your parents even knowing. | ||
| It's all an effort to groom children. | ||
| This is a major child grooming effort across platforms, not just TikTok. | ||
| But now kids have even more time to be online since they're at home. | ||
| So you'd think you could mark them safe, but you can't. | ||
| You have sex ed stuff being pushed to them through these online platforms. | ||
| This kind of nonsense you're talking about. | ||
| And at the same time, you know, we're seeing this movement to normalize adults that want to have sex with children. | ||
| You know, they're trying to destigmatize that. | ||
| So that is the agenda to do away with age of consent. | ||
| So that these predators can access children and have sex with them. | ||
| And folks, you hear this and you're like, oh my gosh, this is crazy. | ||
| Well, no, this is all being rolled out. | ||
| It's happening right in front of your face. | ||
| They're testing you. See how far they can get. | ||
| First it's, oh, we'll do a drag queen story time. | ||
| It'll be family friendly. Then we'll do, okay, let's roll it out with them doing a strip tease. | ||
| They did that. Okay, let's roll it out with them being naked, but we'll do like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and put some glitter on their genitals and we'll claim it was coverage. | ||
| And then... Okay, they did that. | ||
| Then they said, alright, let's literally put the kids on the lap of these drag queens that are dressed so sexually like demons, and let's bounce them up and down the lap. | ||
| Let's play pony. And then they did that. | ||
| Then they had pedophiles infiltrating drag queen story time. | ||
| Tracy helped break that story. | ||
| So, folks, I mean, this is another reason why homeschooling is being really looked at. | ||
| This is the InfoWars War Room, brought to you by InfoWarsStore.com, live at band.video. | ||
| We've had the homeschool experts calling in and as guests, like Tracy Shannon. | ||
| But Tracy, we haven't really gotten your just general take on homeschooling, and then we'll take a couple more calls on the issue. | ||
| From your experience, the pros, the cons of homeschooling, and just your responses to some of the callers and comments you've heard here today. | ||
| Well, homeschooling, to me, it's not really online schooling. | ||
| We don't do everything online. | ||
| I know for some people that's an option, and right now a lot of people are saying they're homeschooling because they're not in the public school. | ||
| Homeschooling is freedom from the curriculum in the public school. | ||
| Homeschooling is freedom to choose the curriculum for your children and overseeing their education yourself. | ||
| For the best interest of your children. | ||
| So that's what's really homeschooling. | ||
| For me personally, I do not like online learning for my children. | ||
| They just do better with in-person teachers. | ||
| So we've used retired teachers or professors who teach high school classes as tutors. | ||
| And we joined in some Schools that teach a couple days a week just for homeschoolers so that we have some outside instruction. | ||
| So I'm not teaching everything, you know, like physics and chemistry. | ||
| I don't have to teach. | ||
| So one reason I don't like online is because for some kids it's really hard to keep their attention and they'll stray away onto other windows. | ||
| And also it's I like learning from books because then that's one of the things as a parent that homeschools, you want to govern and regulate what all your children are seeing. | ||
| And when you go online, you don't really get a real look ahead at everything that they're going to be consuming. | ||
| They may be watching TED Talks, which are very liberal most of the time and might contain topics that you don't think that your children are quite ready for yet. | ||
| I'm glad you brought that angle up because we didn't really talk about the kind of hybrid homeschool online thing where there obviously are convenient factors there, but you just hit on some things that they may not think about when weighing those. | ||
| Thank you for pointing that out. | ||
| Let's take a phone call. Let's go to Shadow Trooper, who is a homeschool. | ||
| I think he was homeschooled or is a homeschool parent in Virginia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead, Shadow Trooper. This is Shadow Trooper. | |
| I was homeschooled. | ||
| It was the best thing that ever happened to me. | ||
| I was able to stay close to my family, and I was very successful. | ||
| History was one of my favorite topics, and now I'm a truck driver. | ||
| And as for the social aspect, I have no problem with being different. | ||
| I went into the construction industry, and everybody got freaked out, and I thought it was funny. | ||
| And a book. | ||
| I would suggest for all InfoWarriors, especially if you're at home with nothing to do, would be read rules for retrograde. | ||
| 40 tactics on how to defeat the left. | ||
| And remember, being InfoWarrior is a complicated profession. | ||
| This is the way I've spoken. | ||
| Well, yeah, you don't need to tell me how complicated it is. | ||
| Separate issue, though. You know, that is an interesting issue, though, about families. | ||
| You know, we see so much of the deterioration of the family. | ||
| I know this is something Savannah wanted to talk about. | ||
| We didn't really have time, but, you know, We do see the attack on the family. | ||
| We do see the deterioration of the family. | ||
| We see relations with parents and children kind of not being as valued. | ||
| Homeschooling is one way to kind of continue that value and continue strong relationships. | ||
| What's been your experience with that, Tracy? | ||
| Well, I have an older child who really cherished the years that he was able to be homeschooled and has great memories of those times. | ||
| So being able to reflect on the time we spent together, I really enjoy it. | ||
| And you do get to do the things as a family. | ||
| It's not as rushed. | ||
| I have kids who've had some special needs as far as education. | ||
| And when they were in public school for the little bit of time they were, I had to take them in the evenings to therapy for physical therapy and for other therapies. | ||
| And it just took so much time from our family life just to meet needs for maybe one or two children. | ||
| And when we went to being learning at home, we're able to take care of those things during the day, have a physical therapist meet with us in our home. | ||
| We have a piano teacher come to our house for piano lessons. | ||
| It's just, it frees up so much more time and really the amount of instruction that the children get in public schools, it's not very much time and we get more one-on-one public instruction with our children, teaching them. | ||
| Than they do in public school and we get our work done in less time typically. | ||
| Now with high schoolers there can be some exceptions because some of the material gets really hard when you're working on advanced material and getting ready for college. | ||
| But we can spend some of those times on our studying for SATs and just working on the gifts and really nourishing the gifts that our children have. | ||
| And also, you mentioned earlier how you kind of brought in outside help so they can kind of have a different voice. | ||
| It's not just one teacher thing, which can, you know, obviously they may get sick of you at some point. | ||
| So you say, hey, we'll bring in an expert for chemistry or math or something like that. | ||
| I hadn't heard that before until you said it. | ||
| Let's go to, let's see who's been holding here. | ||
| Steven in Florida. | ||
| He homeschools his kids. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead, Steven. Owen. | |
| Yeah, hey Owen. Yeah, I just want to say, by the way, you had coined the term panic-demic, so I came up with another one that's pandemonium, which is what this is leading to, because whoever controls the wealth controls everything. | ||
| Well, I'm glad that you gave me the proper shout-out. | ||
| I did start the panic-demic. | ||
| I did coin that phrase, so thank you. | ||
| But yeah, Stephen, what's been your experience homeschooling? | ||
| Okay, so my wife homeschooled us, all seven of our kids. | ||
| Unlike Bush and Clinton with get them reading by third grade, my wife had our kids reading by age three. | ||
| Okay? And what I want to say to parents out there is you can do this if you have a brain for critical thinking skills, if you're able to study and you have a heart for your kids, you can do it. | ||
| God has entrusted you with those kids. | ||
| You have a heart for them, you can do that. | ||
| But the thing I wanted to say is that the contrast, to show you where I'm at about as far as the public school system, I used to call the school buses government indoctrination center transference vehicles. | ||
| Well, I've revised that to cattle cars. | ||
| And if you're familiar with history with what the Nazis did, that's what they're doing to our kids in the public schools emotionally, socially, but especially spiritually. | ||
| We homeschool our kids, and this is typical of homeschooled kids. | ||
| They're in the top five percentile scholastically and every other way. | ||
| But what ended up happening with my kids is we went through a divorce, and so she put them in the public school. | ||
| Now, scholastically, they still did good because they had a good foundation, but socially... | ||
| And every other way, they went downhill. | ||
| My two sons ended up getting in trouble with the law. | ||
| My two oldest daughters had babies out of wedlock. | ||
| And I'm not saying the school system was totally responsible for that, but they definitely had an influence. | ||
| And you look at the way things are. | ||
| Refer to Charlotte Thompson Edsherby's bombshell book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America. | ||
| Alex has interviewed her. | ||
| They planned this out to make our kids a bunch of Humanistic, atheistic, communistic animals that have no purpose. | ||
| And to beat the spirit and the soul out of them. | ||
| I'm sorry, I've got to cut you off, Steve. We've got to go to a break. | ||
| We'll get a final comment from Tracy on the other side of this break. | ||
| But you can look into this, folks. | ||
| They took God out of the school system, and now they literally take blueprints of prisons and And just rebuild them and then just say it's a school. | ||
| And there's like no windows, no life. | ||
| It's literally a prison blueprint that they use at schools now. | ||
| Final comments from Tracy and then my next special guest coming right up. | ||
| Alright, we're about to get final comments from Tracy Shannon on today's subject of homeschooling and then... | ||
| My great guest, CJ Pearson, coming up with... | ||
| I mean, folks, you just won't believe this story. | ||
| And then a special message from Alex Jones that we've just received we're going to be giving to you in the final segment. | ||
| But Tracy, just 60, 90 seconds, just a final wrap-up. | ||
| Because it seems to me that the biggest thing that people are dealing with homeschooling is the hesitation going in, the worries, the fears. | ||
| But then once they get there, it's a great experience. | ||
| It really is a great experience. | ||
| Don't be afraid. You can do this. | ||
| You can homeschool your kids. | ||
| They're your kids. And legally, all that's required is a high school degree. | ||
| A lot of parents have a lot more education than that. | ||
| But the elites don't want you to homeschool your kids. | ||
| So they've been telling you that you can't do it. | ||
| You have to have a certification to teach kids. | ||
| You don't have to. In fact, in June, there's going to be a summit at Harvard To try to bring to discuss bringing homeschool under federal regulation because the elites want your kids learning about anal sex, oil sex and transgender ideology and to be adherence to the new sexual orthodoxy. | ||
| But don't let that happen. | ||
| Homeschool your kids. You can you can do this. | ||
| Homeschoolers do better by every metric. | ||
| Whether it's their job performance, how well they do in college or social skills, and how long their marriages last, homeschoolers do better. | ||
| And the elites, they want to say children have a right to education. | ||
| What they mean is children have a right to be indoctrinated. | ||
| We need to claim our children as our own and educate them. | ||
| Tracy, Shannon, thank you so much. | ||
| A real patriot and saint right now of this movement at Mass Resistance. | ||
| And I want to thank all of our great guests. | ||
| Tracy, Shannon, Kerry, Donovan, Savannah, Hernandez, all the great callers. | ||
| Very important for us to get this information out about homeschooling as a lot of parents are considering this as an option in the future for the education of their children. | ||
| Thank you to all the great guests and great callers. | ||
| Now, CJ Pearson is about to be joining me. | ||
| I'm serious, folks. Now, look, CJ's a tough cookie, okay? | ||
| So, this is just rolling off his back. | ||
| But the fact that this is going on in America has me enraged. | ||
| And, and really disappointed because it's a weird flip-flop of fortune. | ||
| I'm telling you folks, look, I'm 30 years old. | ||
| People my age, my generation, like this whole racism crap, like never even existed. | ||
| Nobody cared what you're, I don't know how to explain it. | ||
| It's like this weird thing where it's like my generation didn't have to deal with it at all. | ||
| Don't care about it. But now somehow the younger generation is like the most racist group, but it's, it's like a weird anti-racism racism. | ||
| Very odd. And so we've got another example of this coming up with CJ. But again, ladies and gentlemen... | ||
| You've seen it. They're now banning the sale of seeds, okay? | ||
| This is not panic. | ||
| I never planned to do this because we sell seeds at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| It's like we didn't plan the whole, hey, everybody's buying up emergency food. | ||
| You better buy from Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| That just happened. We knew it would. | ||
| So I'm telling you right now, this is the next big rush. | ||
| It's going to be on seeds. | ||
| They're banning the sale of seeds. | ||
| You can't even believe it, but that's what they're doing. | ||
| We still have an availability of seeds at Infowarsstore.com. | ||
| Could be out by Monday. I guarantee you have a huge rush of this over the weekend. | ||
| This is crazy. They're banning the sale of seeds. | ||
| I'm not making this up. | ||
| So, we still have an availability at infowardstore.com, but very limited. | ||
| Now, CJ Pearson is on the phone. | ||
| Now, CJ ain't bothered by this at all. | ||
| Other than just how sad it is his generation is going through with this. | ||
| But this is really an incredible story. | ||
| So CJ gets accepted to Howard University. | ||
| CJ is an outspoken Christian conservative, well-spoken, very popular as well. | ||
| Just getting out of high school, about to go to Howard. | ||
| And because he gets admitted to Howard and he's a black conservative, he starts receiving hate mail overnight in the most despicable of ways. | ||
| And so, CJ, you've already gotten over it. | ||
| This isn't phasing you. | ||
| You're already talking about bringing on Candace Owens and other black leaders on the campus to show that, hey, just because you're black doesn't mean you have to be a Democrat or a liberal progressive. | ||
| But, I mean, before we get into that, CJ, I mean... | ||
| What has this been like for you? | ||
| Did you expect to get so much hate upon announcing your acceptance to Howard University? | ||
| Which, by the way, congratulations. | ||
| Very exciting for you. | ||
| But did you expect to get this hatred just because now you want to go to Howard? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I did it. | |
| I really did it. I knew that there was going to be some adversity. | ||
| Once I got on campus, probably, and people learned more about my views and things like that, that was to be expected. | ||
| I didn't choose Howard University because I knew it was going to be easy. | ||
| I chose it because I thought me going there would allow me not only to be in D.C., where there's a lot of opportunities to do a lot of cool things, but also to help my peers open their eyes, expand their worldview, and also Listen to their experiences as well and also grow in mine. | ||
| And I saw that, you know, that tweet, you know, maybe it'd be like, yeah, welcome to the family or your typical college announcer type of vibe, but that's not what I got. | ||
| You know, I got death threats. | ||
| I got, you know, threats of physical violence. | ||
| I got things that, you know, someone called me a white supremacist adjacent. | ||
| You know, I didn't know that me, a black man, could be white supremacist adjacent. | ||
| I don't even know what that means. | ||
| But, of course, I I guess that's what it is. | ||
| That's what they call people who think differently these days. | ||
| Going through it, it was really kind of demoralizing in the process of it. | ||
| But I slept on it. | ||
| I was like, I'm not going to run away from it. | ||
| I'm not going to let the adversity of the situation prevent me from going onto campus and even changing a few minds. | ||
| Because I think that's exactly what the left wants. | ||
| They're bullies. They want me to walk away. | ||
| They want me to say I'm not going to go to Howard because I'm scared or because it would be too hard. | ||
| And I'm not going to give them what they want. | ||
| Well, it seems to me that that's the mission you've now committed to. | ||
| And because I, you know, talk to high school students that endure not what you've endured, but just kind of a similar situation where it's like they choose not to go to the university because they don't want to deal with the hatred from the left. | ||
| They don't want to deal with, you know, whatever discrimination they have to deal with because they're a Trump supporter, whether they're black or white or anything in between. | ||
| They know that this is what happens at these universities. | ||
| The left bullies now run these things. | ||
| But it seems like now you've committed to this mission. | ||
| You're going in. You're not backing down. | ||
| And you may be even looking at your own culture war there at Howard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, very likely. | |
| And I've got to say is that I think it's important for conservatives to at times run towards the fire. | ||
| I think that if we continue to allow ourselves to be silenced by leftist professors, by leftist students, then that is going to prevent us from being able to bring more people to our side, to expose more people to what conservatism actually is. | ||
| I'm sure a lot of these kids who are attacking me have been fed the lie that conservatism is synonymous with racism and bigotry. | ||
| That just isn't true. It's about economic opportunity. | ||
| It's about limited government. It's about personal responsibility. | ||
| They've never heard that because they've been indoctrinated into believing that conservatism, again, is synonymous with white supremacy. | ||
| As a black man, I would never support white supremacy. | ||
| I would never support anything that oppresses my community. | ||
| And so I want them to see that, that blackness doesn't have to make you liberal. | ||
| Blackness doesn't have to make you a Democrat. | ||
| We shouldn't allow the color of our skin to dictate our politics because that is the same type of slavery, only mental, that the people, that our community, that the That our community is built upon ought to escape. | ||
| Like, this is not the world that they would envision for us. | ||
| We believe and we're subjecting other people in our community to saying, hey, because you're black, you can only think this way. | ||
| That is just another form of slavery. | ||
| Well, see, this is so amazing that you highlight this. | ||
| You're so smart for a young man going into college. | ||
| But that's it exactly. Because they put out this thing. | ||
| In fact, Susan Rice put this out the other day. | ||
| Where they say, oh, white people are afraid of a strong black person. | ||
| Or conservatives are afraid of strong black people. | ||
| Well, that's obviously made up. | ||
| But what do they even mean? | ||
| What is the power? Because this is how I break it down. | ||
| What is the power of a black person in America? | ||
| Well, the power is... They don't go along with the narrative. | ||
| They don't go along. CJ says, hey, I'm black. | ||
| I don't have to be a Democrat, liberal, progressive. | ||
| That's his power. That's why Candace Owens is so popular. | ||
| So it's like they're actually asking you to sacrifice your power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. Exactly. | |
| And it's so interesting how they turn this into being some type of wokeness thing, right? | ||
| Because if I were—I support Donald Trump, so somehow I'm an enabler of the white man or whatever that even means, but they belong to the party that's being represented by— Well, hey, CJ, I got to go to a break. | ||
| We may have time to get back to you on the other side, folks. | ||
| I wanted more time for CJ, but so much is going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Draw you out a little bit more of the bias on face masks. | |
| What would people gain from wearing a mask, and why are you opposed to wearing one yourself? | ||
| Well, I just don't want to wear one myself. | ||
| It's a recommendation. They recommend it. | ||
| I'm feeling good. | ||
| I just don't want to be doing, I don't know, somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful resolute desk. | ||
| The great resolute desk. | ||
| I think wearing a face mask As I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don't know, somehow I don't see it for myself. | ||
| I just don't. | ||
| Maybe I'll change my mind, but this will pass, and hopefully it'll pass very quickly. | ||
| Now, with that being said, if somebody wants to, I mean, most people can just make something out of a certain material. | ||
| So it's very well designated. | ||
| It's very simple to do. | ||
| I won't be doing it personally. | ||
| It's a recommendation. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| This is so encouraging that President Trump has come out and said, no, I'm not wearing It's a choice. It's not mandatory. | ||
| We're not Communist China. | ||
| This is all about making all of us suspects. | ||
| It's all about the big globalist AI rollout with the Communist Chinese, the EU, the big universities, the big blue cities, the blue states, taking their pliant servant population and showing them groveling to the drones and groveling to the tyranny and women being shot at checkpoints and telling us that's the American way and now we do what Communist China does and we do what the authoritarian EU does. | ||
| And Trump is saying no. | ||
| We've got to reopen the country. | ||
| It's the depression you should worry about. | ||
| The idea that if there's a virus, you've got to be a prisoner for the rest of your life with drones watching you is pure tyranny. | ||
| And notice, just like they did in the Soviet Union, just like they did in communist China, they're banning people buying seeds, not just at Walmart. | ||
| We're now learning other stores because it's not essential. | ||
| Defending yourself is not essential. | ||
| Being able to go to church is not essential. | ||
| Being able to have a wedding is not essential. | ||
| Being able to have last rights if you're Jewish or Catholic is now not essential. | ||
| But the gay pride parades and drag queen story time, that's all going ahead. | ||
| This is the globalist nanny state breaking our will, building a nice little 5G forced inoculation prison for all of us and trying to force us into it. | ||
| And Trump has tried to block this fear from the beginning, but America fell to its knees, defecated on itself, urinated on itself in a fetal position, and demanded slavery. | ||
| That understand this must stand up to the sheeple and point out the statistics and how they overblew this, saying millions would die and that's not the case, and that they are now trying to use fear to drive us into total submission, which is the very definition of terrorism. | ||
| This is terrorism to bring in a one-world government, medical tyranny, forced inoculation, total takeover of society, and the nanny state will say you can't drive cars because driverless cars are better, and every other level is their admitted plan. | ||
| InfoWars told you about this decades before, and now it's here. | ||
| And I'm telling you what's coming next if you submit, but I'm also telling you if you speak up and say no and stand up against this, that we are invincible because God is on our side. | ||
| Amazing video from the president. | ||
| Back to Owen Schroyer nailing it right here on the InfoWars News Information Truth Network. | ||
| All right, ladies and gentlemen, there it is from Alex Jones. | ||
| Now, I hope I can take these phone calls remaining, no promises. | ||
| I want to get a final statement here from C.J. Pearson and how you can follow him. | ||
| And I have an idea for you, C.J. Again, folks, very young, well-spoken conservative, just getting out of high school, accepted into Howard, very excited, immediately starts getting hatred. | ||
| Well, why? Well, because he's black and he doesn't want to be a Democrat communist. | ||
| So how dare he? But CJ, let me give you an idea and then let's get a final statement from you and then tell people how they can follow you on this journey that you've accepted. | ||
| I think, and I know you've kind of already put this out there that you're thinking about something like this, but I think when you show up on campus for your first day of school at Howard, I think you should show up with Candace Owens With people like Candace Owens, Damani Felder, Jesse Lee Peterson, John Miller, Terrence Williams, Bryson Gray. | ||
| I mean, the list could go on. | ||
| I mean, that would just defeat their narrative, and it would be such a powerful viral moment for other young black conservatives who feel bullied and intimidated out of voicing their conservatism as just a Trump card to just say, hey, look, I'm not scared of you, and guess what? Look at me and my friends. | ||
| We're more powerful than all of you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Definitely. That would be incredible. | |
| That would be incredible. And I think that's exactly what we need more of. | ||
| We need to show more people on that campus, like I said before the break, that blackness does not mean you have to vote Democrat. | ||
| And I look forward to welcoming a lot of those people onto campus, starting that dialogue, opening those minds, as we hope to cultivate the next generation of freethinkers. | ||
| How can people follow your journey, CJ? Yeah, definitely. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People can keep up with me by following me on Twitter at DCJPerson. | |
| You can also follow me on Instagram at DCJPerson as well. | ||
| And my website is CJPerson.org. | ||
| All right, folks. There it is. We have it pulled up on the screen. | ||
| CJ, thank you so much for joining us last minute today and telling this audience about your story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No problem. Thank you, Owen, for having me. | |
| All right. Yep. Guys, follow CJ. It's going to be a great journey of his to watch, and he's a fearless leader for such a young individual. | ||
| All right. Let me try to squeeze in as many calls as I can here. | ||
| I only got five minutes, so I just ask you to be fast. | ||
| Let's go to Jesse in Hawaii. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead, Jesse. Hey, Owen. | |
| Can you hear me? Yep. First time caller. | ||
| I've been listening to Alex Jones and you guys for about 12 years, now 15 years. | ||
| Used to be in the military. Got out. | ||
| I'm living in Hawaii right now. | ||
| And I appreciate all you guys are doing. | ||
| I've been spending the last week on what's going on. | ||
| So here in Hawaii, real quick, you guys were talking about the education, at-home care type thing. | ||
| So what it looks like on the map on Oahu is the red zone is, according to the COVID-19 coronavirus, again, running through the Marine Corps base, Kaneohe, all the way down to Waikiki, Hawaii Kai. | ||
| That is the rich area, right? | ||
| So if we're talking about what you were talking about this morning, a rich area, they will be the first to be inoculated into the education camps. | ||
| The way it looks on the map, the orange zone is Ewa in Mililani. | ||
| They put up a 5G tower about five months ago in Mililani. | ||
| And I believe they're working on the red plan Right now, for 5G, it's hard to be put up in Waikiki. | ||
| There's choppers hovering overhead all night now. | ||
| It's really amazing to see that you guys are on top of this. | ||
| I appreciate all your work. | ||
| I'm going to be getting some seeds for a more survival year. | ||
| God bless. Love you all. | ||
| I really think From my expertise, I used to work with autism. | ||
| I still did until they shut us down, shut everything down. | ||
| Are you still there? Yep. | ||
| Okay. So we're working with autism, the people at home raising kids. | ||
| The best way that I found out, dealing with the military side and dealing with, you know, this is what we're going to do, dictatorship-type mentality. | ||
| They also are allowing soldiers two rations of meals a day if they are on the 14-day wait list. | ||
| If they are negative or positive, if they're in quarantine. | ||
| So I found that out last night. | ||
| So I was also told, notified that a special forces service member of a near and dear friend, that this is not a safe place. | ||
| Well, thank you for that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, who knows, you know, what this outbreak could be like, and I don't know what the 5G looks like on Hawaii. | ||
| You know, let me just say this. | ||
| Thanks for the call, Jesse. Folks, They're rolling this out because they're building their worldwide surveillance grid in real time. | ||
| And so there may be a point in time like electricity where we're saying, well, yeah, we have electricity. | ||
| Of course, we need electricity. | ||
| Well, when all the people died, when we flipped on the electric grid, do you think those people would be okay with it? | ||
| Again, I'm just asking the question because that's what it is, folks. | ||
| We're rolling out the new radio wave 5G spectrum. | ||
| It's going to kill us. | ||
| And you may say, well, guess what? | ||
| In 100 years when it's rolled out and we're all on the grid and everything's nice and easy, but... | ||
| And you'll look back and say 100 years ago, people died, rolled us out, good. | ||
| Like you might say now, electricity, good, good, we need electricity. | ||
| People died back then, screw them. | ||
| But that's kind of what looks like it's happening. | ||
| All right, I got to be quick here. | ||
| Let's do Jonathan in Missouri. | ||
| By the way, Google and all these technology companies are already in the classroom, folks. | ||
| They donate computers and then they say, oh, we're donating. | ||
| And you say, oh, wow, what a great thing. | ||
| No, they're just trying to get into the classrooms and indoctrinate. | ||
| Go ahead, Jonathan, homeschooler in Missouri. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, Owen, how you doing? I wanted to just say real quick, I wanted to thank you and everybody there at Infowars who have been listening right before, during the beginning of the election. | |
| And you guys woke me up on what I already knew. | ||
| I was in the Marine Corps, and I dealt with a lot of BS in there. | ||
| But the reason I was calling was, A, about the homeschooling. | ||
| My wife did my homeschooling with my daughter in kindergarten, and it just kind of got to the point where we couldn't do it anymore because we had another baby. | ||
| So we decided to send her to public school. | ||
| There's a part of me that's kind of glad that this has happened because it's made me realize that I need to homeschool my children, but it scares me at the same time because I'm terrified of what's going on. | ||
| I tried to get a gun here two weeks ago. | ||
| Man, I still ain't heard anything back. | ||
| I live in Hazelwood. | ||
| Wow. So, did your daughter go into the Hazelwood School District? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, she did. | |
| And then they did the shutdown right before spring break, and they haven't been back. | ||
| And I honestly don't think I want to send any of them back. | ||
| Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. | ||
| I remember I had friends that went to Hazelwood. | ||
| That's a tough one. And there's different Hazelwoods, but all of them are pretty tough, folks. | ||
| Jonathan, thank you so much for calling. | ||
| I'm sorry I didn't have time to get to the other callers. | ||
| That does it for the War Room this week. | ||
| Thanks to everybody for tuning in. | ||
| You stay classy, InfoWarriors. | ||

Hey! You there. | |
| The battle for the Republic is on. | ||
| The American Revolution 2.0 is happening right now. | ||
| But the corrupt establishment doesn't want you to know, and they certainly don't want you to get involved. | ||
| But you can at ban.video. | ||
| The truth lives at ban.video. | ||
| The information they don't want you to see is at band.video. | ||
| This is your destiny. | ||
| This is the epic battle for the future of humanity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
America will survive as long as you fight. | |
| I've gotta go. Nine weeks ago we told you that governments and major corporations were buying up all the food they could and food futures into the future. | ||
| Because they knew they were going to hype up COVID-19 and crash the US stock market. | ||
| They knew that shutdown of the economy would cause food shortages and spiking prices into the future. | ||
| Communist China launched its bio attack out of the Wuhan city and province. | ||
| They let 5 million of their people flee and spread it all over the world. | ||
| But now China says they're open for business and the virus isn't a problem. | ||
| But the United States has been crippled and we're told we're going to be shut down for 18 months. | ||
| And Democrats are saying they're going to hold the Cities, counties, and states they control, hostage, and then blame the depression on Trump. | ||
| We've got to expose these people and their plan. | ||
| That can make them back down if they know that we're aware of their operation, if they're going to get the blame. | ||
| But also, we may fail. | ||
| Trump may fail at this juncture, this battle. | ||
| To win the war, we've got to boost our immune systems, and we've got to have high-quality, storable foods. | ||
| We've got all the high-quality supplements like X2, X3, DNA Force Plus, all our nano silver products, the skin creams, the topical sprays, the ingestion systems. | ||
| We've got so much more at infowarsstore.com. | ||
| We have our Real Red Pill, Real Red Pill Plus with the zinc and other great boosters for you and your family. | ||
| Whatever you do, get those orders in today so you get these supplements out and it's a 360 win. | ||
| It funds the Infowar and we can now take food orders again. | ||
| They had to pause to make sure they could get out the other orders. | ||
| Now they have more food and two extra factories, our supplier, so we can start taking food orders yet again. | ||
| And again, it's not just for this virus currently now. | ||
| You need storable foods and a stockpile of all of the basic essentials like firearms, ammunition, water filters, Supplements and things to boost your immune system because the globalists aren't going to quit here. | ||
| Freedom isn't free. This is going to be a long fight, just like in 1776, politically, maybe even physically. | ||
| We hope that isn't the case. | ||
| So everybody needs to get prepared and dig in. | ||
| So you can't be controlled by not having food and basic essentials. | ||
| Get your basic essentials at Infowarsstore.com and know we have them in stock and we'll deliver them to you within days if it's the supplements, water filtration, books, films, t-shirts, survival gear. | ||
| The food is back-ordered. | ||
| We have it in stock, but it's got to be packaged and shipped out to you. | ||
| So get your orders in today at Infowarsstore.com or call toll-free, 888-253-3139. | ||
| We can take your order and answer all your questions. | ||
| But regardless, the most important thing is word of mouth and all revering right now and exposing what the globalists are doing and how China's open for business and ramping up production after only two months. | ||

| And we can't even say that it came from Communist China. | ||
| The good news is people are really starting to wake up to the fact that even if this kills 50,000 people, there's no way to stop it. | ||
| We can't lock down all of society to do this and let all the prisoners go and let crime rates explode. | ||

| You're the most informed, awake people out there. | ||
| You are beyond critical. | ||
| You are the future. You are the resistance. |
