Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, I don't know if you know this, but the literacy rate in America is declining like crazy.
Apparently only 54% of Americans can read above a fourth grade reading level.
That's pretty scary.
Can read above a fourth grade reading level.
20% of Americans are completely illiterate.
California comes in first place of most illiterate.
And somehow Texans come in fourth place.
A fourth most illiterate state in the United States.
So what are schools doing if they're not teaching literacy, reading, writing, and arithmetic?
Remember the things that I grew up in and I'm not that old?
Well, they're canceling Christmas, canceling Santa Claus, canceling Christmas events and saying that that's racist and non-binary and non-exclusive.
And they're dragging our children to drag queen story hours and making them change genders and all sorts of other things.
So this individual, this guest is joining me in just a minute.
Ryan Walters is the Oklahoma State Superintendent of Education and he's making major waves.
He's a total badass because he is looking to transform all of that Especially in the Tulsa County School District.
And he has been.
Incredible wins under his belt.
He is looking to get away from this Marxist left indoctrination machine, which they're disguising as education, and actually transform schools into what they should be, educating students once again with traditional values.
You're going to know American history.
When you go through our schools, I want every kid to know the Declaration, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers.
They really have to be founded in what are America's core principles, know them, and then look at all of American history through that prism.
Did we measure up to those principles at this time or is this a moment where we didn't?
But that's how you teach American history so that kids have that to hold on to.
And I firmly believe when you look at America, Decline is a choice.
If we teach our kids these principles and we call them to live up to them, we will continue to be this great country.
And not grooming type of values.
So Ryan Walters, I'm excited to talk about you and all of these great wins under your belt.
You are just slaying the Marxist left back and forth.
Welcome to Shots Fired.
How are you?
Well, I appreciate you having me on.
I appreciate the work you're doing.
And, you know, I mean, that's the thing.
In education, to get the education system back on track when it's been pulled so far to the left, we've got to operate with a sense of urgency.
And so we're playing offense here in Oklahoma.
We're going to be aggressive and we're just getting started.
But I'm telling you, this education system has been run by Marxists for far too long.
Parents know it.
Our taxpayers know it.
And it's time to get going.
Oh, 100%.
And people, some people somehow still believe that this is sort of some big conspiracy theory that the education systems have been hijacked by the Marxist left.
And, you know, this is all sort of happened organically.
No, it's not.
It's literally in the communist goals, the 45 communist goals for America way back in the 1950s.
They state that they're going to hijack the education systems in schools and transform them into Marxist-Communist curriculum.
So it's not a conspiracy, and it's actually happened, and they've been very successful at it.
So tell us a little bit about your background, first of all.
So you're the state superintendent of education in Oklahoma, correct?
Right.
So, you know, I was a public school teacher down in a rural part of the state.
I, you know, as I was working, I was a state teacher of the year finalist, kind of won some awards here for teaching history in the classroom.
Got, you know, grew up, got married, had kids.
And as time went on, I began to see, first of all, frustrations as a teacher in saying, you know what, if you're a high performing teacher, that really doesn't matter in education.
What matters is are you in the union and are you pushing the union talking points?
That's really all that they care about.
And then secondly, as a parent, I'm looking at an education system going, I mean, I'm concerned for my kids and then all the kids around the country as well.
And so I ended up running for, we elect a state superintendent.
So I ran for the statewide office, was brutally attacked by the teachers unions.
They dumped millions of dollars against me.
And we crushed them because we listened to parents all over the state who said, look, this is ridiculous.
We want you to go fight back against the teachers unions.
We want you to fight back against Joe Biden.
We want you to go fight back against the woke colleges.
That are pushing DEI down our kids' throats, down our teachers' throats.
This system has to be completely changed.
And so I've been fighting with a mandate from the voters of Oklahoma who said, hey, we've got to get this education system back on track.
And we fought from the second I got elected, I instantly instituted a hiring freeze.
Spending freeze and instantly announced that we were going to be taking the teaching certificates from teachers who knowingly pushed critical race theory in our state against state law.
I did that all within the first hour of being elected, and we've been moving fast ever since.
That's amazing.
That's very hardcore and I love it.
We need that aggressive, proactive action here.
So what have you been noticing then in your schools?
I mean, in Oklahoma, I would think is a pretty red state, but that's why it's scary because no state is safe from this indoctrination and curriculum, correct?
And I think that's so important for your viewers to hear is that we are in a very red state.
Very red state.
Every single one of our counties voted for Donald Trump twice.
So we are a very red state.
But let me tell you, we also have a teachers union that is very well financed and continue to block legislation and push legislation at the state capitol.
They have captured a lot of Republican legislators who listen to them alone.
And so we've had to fight back against some of them, some folks in our own party who have fought school choice, fought parents' rights.
We had a legislator that's Republican that fought to keep pornography in the classroom.
And so we have these pockets of influence the teachers union has.
But I'm going to tell you the other thing that's so important is now that I run the education agency is liberals embed themselves in these agencies.
So you've seen this with the way that Dean Soros has financed these district attorneys.
They've done the same thing with school boards, and they've done the same thing with the government bureaucratic apparatuses.
So when I got here, you know, we would pass laws and it wouldn't be enforced.
Because again, my predecessor, a Democrat, loaded this agency up with a bunch of liberals that were never going to hold districts accountable.
They were never going to push back on the teachers union.
And frankly, this was a captured entity.
I mean, the left had captured the state superintendent.
So you can pass whatever laws you wanted.
They were never going to be enforced on the schools.
So it has been a dramatic shift.
I fired over 100 people from our agency in the first six months.
And we are continuing to ensure that We're running the left wing out and we're going to put folks that share our conservative values in this agency and we're going to continue to fight for parents and we're going to continue to fight.
It's frankly common sense.
We're going to keep fighting for common sense to come back to the classroom.
Thank you for that.
And how bad is it, would you say, in the public schools in Oklahoma as far as the drag queen type stuff that they're pushing, the gender, the gender bred man and the gender curriculum, and then the sex, you know, the heavy sex slash really it's really just porn disguised as sex ed in school and reading and everything.
I mean, is that still pretty prominent?
Yeah, you know, it's unbelievable.
You know, it's one of those things where there have been so many instances of this that I've, you know, when I first hear about it, I go, surely that can't be true, right?
And then we start digging into it, and it's worse than we were even told initially.
So just to give you a few examples, we have books like Flamer and genderqueer that we didn't only find in schools, and it's graphic.
I mean, one board meeting, I had some media that were saying I was exaggerating how graphic they were.
So I showed them on the prompter during the school board meeting and said, well, why don't you guys air them tonight?
Let your viewers decide, you know, am I exaggerating them or are they bad?
And I had one of the producers write us and say, you know, hey, you know, we listened to your request, but we can't air this on TV. You know, it doesn't meet our decency standards.
And frankly, what if there's kids watching?
And I said, well, that's the whole point, right?
So you're lying to your viewers, claiming it's not really that bad.
Then when I call you on it, you even admit you're not even willing to show it to adults on TV. But we had those in our school.
We had some schools out defending it.
We still have schools that have defended, you know, when you look at DEI, They claim to be inclusive.
You know, we need to show kids graphic sex acts and graphic descriptions of folks going through transgender surgeries and talk to kids about them in first grade.
It's absurd.
But yes, we've had that here in the state.
Yes, we have found instances where we had a drag queen running a school here in Oklahoma.
I mean, you know, it's so unbelievable.
But when you see the power, the left has an education, when it comes down to higher ed, it comes down to government bureaucracies and the teachers unions, even in red states.
The left controls so much of their education system.
And so we absolutely have to begin to unravel it.
And I talked to you about pulling the certificates of teachers who were social justice activists and not teachers.
Yeah, that's great.
The other thing that we're doing is, you know what?
We're not going to accredit schools that are pushing indoctrination.
So we told Tulsa Public Schools, listen, if you're going to push critical race theory, we're not going to continue to accredit you.
You are not going to do this and continue to take taxpayer dollars.
And this is where, for conservatives, The rubber's gotta meet the road, folks.
Guess what?
The left doesn't just stop because they get called out on things.
They don't care.
I mean, we had these folks out here in Oklahoma saying, we're gonna keep doing it anyway.
What are you gonna do about it?
You have to follow through and enforce the law or they're not gonna stop.
It's so scary.
It's just scary how much power they have.
And some people say, well, you know, I don't want you to homeschool.
I don't want to homeschool kids because homeschool kids end up being weird or antisocial.
But it's like, wouldn't you rather figure it out with homeschooling than put them into these indoctrination and grooming machines?
It's pretty frightening to just throw.
You're playing Russian roulette at best as a parent throwing your child into a public school at this point.
Like you said, even in a red state.
I talk to parents about this all the time.
The fact is the left and the corporate media lie to you.
They pretend like conservatives want to destroy our schools.
The reality is conservatives want to save our schools.
I talk to parents all the time.
They go, look, I went to that public school.
That's where I went.
That's where I grew up.
I have the nostalgia there.
I would love to see my kids graduate from the school I went to.
But when I see them pushing woke ideology, to your point, I am absolutely not going to run the risk of my kid coming up.
up and I'm telling you, that's some of the heart, most heartbreaking conversations I have is when a parent comes to me crying about their daughter thinks she's a boy and has done some kind of surgery or self-harm or become suicidal because they listened to this leftist cult and telling most heartbreaking conversations I have is when a parent comes to me crying about their daughter thinks she's a boy and has done some And then they start taking pills.
They start doing these surgeries.
And then guess what?
Those problems are still there.
They never addressed the underlying mental issues there.
And it's unbelievably heartbreaking to have these conversations with parents.
And that's where we have allowed the left to push the most radical idea.
I mean, you think about it.
Has there been any ideas radical of telling a first grader, you know, you might actually be the other gender.
And so let's start talking about that.
I mean, you just think we're the adults.
They're children.
And I always believe this as a teacher.
You know, I've got an incredible responsibility here.
People are entrusting me with their kids for six hours a day, and I take that very seriously.
You know, I am here to help a parent.
I'm helping a parent.
I'm not the parent.
I'm helping the parent navigate their child through life.
And so I want that parent to know everything we're doing.
I want to help that parent, you know, do one of the most important tasks that we're given as adults, which is to raise our children.
Yeah.
I'm here to help and be a supplemental assistant to that parent.
But boy, I'm telling you, you start listening to these leftists, they think they own the kids.
They literally want to take the place of a parent and own these kids and turn them into social justice warriors.
It is sick.
It is a cult.
And you know what?
You have to beat a cult.
You don't compromise with it.
You don't rationalize with it.
You just go, guys, you have lost your mind.
So we're going to bring back common sense, which says, guys...
You don't talk about sex with kids.
I mean, I can't believe we've got to institutionalize it, but we do.
And let me tell you something.
If you're ever going to have a conversation or you're concerned about a kid, you go to their parent to have conversations about, hey, you know, your kid might have confusion around gender or things.
You go to the parent.
You don't take it upon yourself to inject yourself into those type of conversations with a child.
You bring the parent in.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Now I want to go through a couple of your other wins.
You said that you've made Oklahoma the first state to partner with PragerU and PragerU Kids curriculum.
That's amazing.
That is so cool.
We're very proud of that.
Honestly, I have my kids right here in the other room with me in the office right now.
They're out of school, so they're here.
And frankly, they're in there watching some PragerU videos.
And I've done this with them for years.
I did this when I was a teacher.
PragerU does a great job of introducing kids to our founding documents, some of the most influential Americans.
And what that does is it starts getting kids where we should be, where we were, but we've lost it.
The understanding that America is the greatest country in the world, and it's that way because of the principles this country was built on.
But we have a generation now that they have no understanding of what those core principles are.
And how would you keep to principles if you don't even know what the principles are?
And so I believe PragerU does an incredible job in this.
Boy, I'm telling you, the left has just lost their mind over it.
But I am very proud of it.
Our parents are very proud of it.
We've got teachers all over the state utilizing the curriculum.
And again, it's such a good tool to get our kids back interested in our history.
And I'll share this quick story.
You know, I have young kids and I listened to my daughter tell one of her friends the other night a story that she heard in a PragerU video.
And I'm going, you know, this has got my kids excited about the founders, about history.
You know, that's what we want to have for our next generation.
And again, the left is so mad about a five minute video.
You know, what does that tell you?
It's like they want complete censorship of conservative views.
And frankly, I've challenged that they're even conservative.
I mean, you know, obviously conservatives believe in the importance of the Constitution, but that shouldn't be a left or right issue.
We should all want our kids to understand what Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence meant.
But the reality is the left does not.
They only want their viewpoint shown because they know if there's an equal opportunity for views to be shared, they're going to lose.
Mm-hmm.
Amen.
All right, folks.
Well, it looks like we're at a crossroads once again.
It is no conspiracy theory now that it looks like the global elites will definitely be ushering in a digital dollar.
And if we don't fight back, they will be monitoring every penny that we earn or spend, which could be a great reset in action, right?
That's why some ordinary Americans just like you and I are taking a bold, extraordinary step, moving some of our savings into gold and silver.
Because it's real and it's tangible.
But you need to take action now.
Go to goldco.com slash shots or call 855-491-2348 and download your free 2024 gold IRA kit from my new partners at Goldco.
This kit is really cool and it educates you on the real benefits of gold and silver and how all of this works so that your cash doesn't depend on shady government programs.
But when you go to goldco.com slash shots today, you can get up to $10,000 in free silver with a qualified order.
That's it folks, you can get up to $10,000 in free silver with a qualified order.
Patriots, this is our fight.
This is our time.
It's time to do something about it to protect our future, our family and our finances.
Go to goldco.com slash shots or call 855-491-2348 now.
And I love that you ended the partnership with the Marxist group American Liberty Association.
That's awesome.
Tell us about that.
Yeah, I mean, you know, the ALA, the American Library Association, you know, what they did is they had a Marxist president who came out and said, you know, I'm a Marxist and I can't believe I get to do this job and use my ideology in this role.
And we said, well, go to California or New York or somewhere else.
But here in Oklahoma, we absolutely do not.
When a Marxist organization in the state, as a matter of fact, we can go to our own librarians, we can go to our parents, our teachers and say, listen, what's age appropriate material?
And that's what we're going to have in the classroom.
And I think that's what's so important here is you hear the left lie and say that these are book bans and this is the right, you know, running these books out of schools.
It is incredibly important.
That our kids are surrounded with good material.
I mean, it is one of the most absurd positions I've ever heard that a child should be exposed in first and second grade to graphically sexual material in the name of inclusion.
That is so absurd.
We should honestly be ensuring that our kids are protected from material like that, that our kids honestly are surrounded by not only age-appropriate, but academically valuable reading.
That's one of the things I talk to our teachers about.
Not only do I want our kids reading on grade level, I want them reading meaningful things.
So let's talk to them about why being trustworthy is important.
Let's talk to them about why it's so important to have self-discipline and for your word to mean something.
That's the kind of things that, you know, when you're talking about a first and second grader, let's introduce them to character values, not woke Marxist propaganda.
And that's what, by the way, we did that.
That's what we used to do.
That's what, you know, for civilizations you've seen trying to make sure that their kids have this proper understanding.
And again, we've got to get back to that.
All right, so any last, I know you have a slew of other accomplishments and you are again just slaying the Marxist left, left and right here.
And that's what I love.
I love people who are not all talk, but actually back up their claims and go to work at it.
So what are some other things that you want to brag about or things that you've done just in the last year that we want to acknowledge and bring attention to?
And that hopefully other school, other superintendents can follow your lead.
Right, you know, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak on your show.
I appreciate the work you're doing.
And, you know, we've also been able to say, look, we're going to pay teachers based on performance.
I love that.
What a concept.
You know, it's crazy.
It's like the free market works.
We were able to recruit over 500 teachers to our schools using a merit-based teacher signing bonus, where we said, look, if you're a great teacher, hey, we'll pay you up to $50,000 in a signing bonus to come here.
We want high-quality individuals.
The teachers union fought us, but guess what?
We've got incredible candidates now in the classroom.
We also challenged the left's view.
Look, we shouldn't be telling kids that when they misbehave in the classroom that you're just victims of society.
We should be telling them that they're responsible for their own behaviors.
So we launched a discipline overhaul that said, listen, Kids will be told that they have to act right in a classroom and you have to remove kids that are violent towards their peers, their students, that are disruptive of the learning environment.
We're going to bring discipline back to the classroom because what we've seen is when you tell a four-year-old up to their 16 years old that they're not responsible for their actions that it's actually society those are the kids that go out and break windows and buildings those are the kids that go out and riot when they don't get their way and so what we're going to continue to do is strengthen our societies by saying look Hey, we want you to be successful, and because of that, we're going to hold you accountable for your actions.
I saw it as a teacher.
We all know that as parents.
That's how you help kids.
There you go.
Perfect timing.
That's how you help kids.
You give them the structure.
You make sure they're accountable.
And so we've had a tremendous, you know, outpouring of support by parents who say, thank you.
I don't want my kids' education disrupted by one of their fellow students.
And we've had a great outpouring from teachers that said, listen, we so appreciate this.
You know, we want to get into the education to help kids.
And we've got to have support there to make sure we've got discipline back in the classroom.
So, you know, we're going to continue to do that.
We're going to drive the teachers unions out.
There's no role for them in education.
They are one of the nastiest groups in the country, pushing the most extreme ideology.
And we're going to replace that by empowering parents.
And so we're very excited about what the future holds as we continue to embrace parents' rights and bringing the parents back in education.
And again, we're having those victories.
And to your point, What do taxpayers, parents, communities want?
They want to see action.
They are tired of being told things will get better and people get elected and don't do the things they said.
And I tell this to folks all the time.
I've had people tell me, why don't you slow down?
Why are you still doing the things you talked about on the campaign trail?
When you're elected, you should act differently.
You shouldn't keep worrying about those things and talking about those things.
And I tell them, I guess I missed the memo because when I look people in the eye and said...
I am going to act on the things you're telling me about.
I am going to help your children.
I am going to throw the woke left out.
I'm going to ensure that our kids are going to be successful.
I'm going to ensure that unions no longer control this system.
I'm in it.
And so every day I've acted with a sense of urgency to advance our agenda and Ensure that we have our conservative values embedded in this agency and across the state of Oklahoma.
And, you know, we've seen a lot of great feedback from that of, you know, look, you're doing what you said.
And I think that's so missing in politics today is, frankly, you know, you even have the respect that comes from even if people don't agree with you 100 percent, they know who you are and they know that they can trust your word.
And I think that we've just missed so much of that in so many politicians.
So much of that.
And just the whole everybody gets the trophy now in school.
Again, you said teachers are almost afraid to hold children to academic standards because it's supposed to be sort of like equal standards.
You know, equality of outcome, everybody's equal.
And if you're excelling, well, then this is a product of white supremacy.
And if you're behind, then, well, it's just because of you're being oppressed and you grew up to be a victim.
And it's just racism that you're falling behind in literacy.
So no need to catch up, right?
I mean, there's so much of that that it doesn't actually teach children to excel anymore.
And then they're totally ill-prepared for the real world.
But I guess that's their plan, though, is to turn them into just mindless robots who don't think for themselves and who are ill-prepared for the world, but they're well-prepared to just follow orders, follow orders, particularly Marxist radical orders.
Well, I think that, you know, the President Biden's Secretary of Education really tipped his hand a couple of weeks ago.
We had our international test scores come out and we had the worst scores we've ever had, biggest to climb, fell further behind other countries.
And he went out and, you know, defended them and basically said that wasn't as bad as he thought they would be.
And, you know, it's really not because and I called for his resignation and I put that out there and said, listen, Clearly, he has shown you that he doesn't care.
He does not care about math scores and reading scores and our kids being prepared to enter the workforce or to be good citizens.
They care about creating social justice warriors.
And so guess what?
Hey, you know, math got a lot worse.
Whatever.
Are we still pushing critical race theory?
Okay, then good.
Are we still pushing this?
That's his mentality, is for him, it's simply what are we pushing?
What are we making sure is getting across to our kids so that we're creating Democrat voters?
And again, I think that they've completely shown their hand here of it's never been about outcomes to them.
When it comes to academics, it's simply been about creating a liberal voting base And that's what the teachers unions care about.
It's what President Biden cares about.
It's what he's pushed.
And that's where we have to fight back.
And to your point, you know, I know that our schools can do it because guess what?
They do it in athletics.
And I'm a former basketball coach.
And I say that all the time.
I go, guys, you know, we don't sit here and say, oh, man, you know, we're I guess we're going to lose tonight, you know.
Jimmy, you don't dribble very well, but that's okay.
Don't worry about it.
Really, it's the society you live in that makes you not be a good dribble.
What do we say?
Hey, son, I'm going to show you how to do it.
We're going to work on it.
You need to practice longer.
We're going to show you things to work on at home.
We're going to continue to develop this so you can be the best you can be.
And we compete.
And we compete with one another, with other schools.
The same thing applies to academics.
We should be competing.
We should be pushing for the most out of kids.
When they fall behind, we should be extra practices, extra time with a tutor, individual attention for them.
But we keep the bar high.
And again, I know we can do it.
It's just a matter of getting these unions and this left-wing participation mentality out and bringing back a meritocracy-type system that says, listen, We're going to push you to do as best you can, and we're going to continue to try to get the most out of you because we know that you can do it.
And again, we all have these stories of kids.
As kids, there's always some adult you run into that pushes you further than you thought you could achieve, and you look back and you're really thankful for it.
Well, we've got to get back to making that really the mentality of our teachers and our schools.
Amen.
Amen.

Welcome back to Shots Fired.
Well, there's some strange news in the area of the Pope and the Vatican.
What's new?
I mean, this is no longer a real Pope.
I think we know this by now.
This is just a liberal Marxist puppet in disguise.
As many of them are, all of them are at this point.
All of these leaders are no longer who we think that they are.
They're all just playing a role.
They're actors playing a role to roll out their side of the agenda.
There's the Hollywood agenda, there's the education system agenda, and then there's This, you know, Catholic and Christian supposed agenda that the Pope is the face of.
So the latest is he's evidently now made it made it cool to be blessing or he's approved of same sex marriage blessings in the Catholic Church.
Here to talk more about this, of course, right before Christmas, right?
Right before Christmas and the holidays here to talk about this is my friend Kim Coulter, reporter for National File.
And she'll also be guest hosting Thursday's show.
Actually, I will be in the holidays already with my family traveling and in Florida.
And I don't think I'll be able to do the show.
I'm so sorry, guys, but I love you, and I'll be thinking about you and be there in spirit.
But this lovely lady, Kim Kulture, will be guest hosting.
So thanks so much for joining us on Shots Fired.
How are you, Kim?
You know, I'm doing great.
Thank you so much for having me on, and I look forward, and I will treat your show with the utmost care, I promise.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm sure you will.
So, yeah, about the...
It's just...
The thing is, it's almost as if they're not even pretending to be Catholics anymore.
They serve a completely separate agenda.
You've made a very comprehensive list before.
All of those different things feed into the same motive, right?
And that motive is anti-family.
That motive is anti-American.
That motive is anti-white.
And this is just an attack on all those fronts.
100 percent.
So I'm going to read just a little bit of just one of the headlines.
I mean, this like literally just came hot off the press.
Pope Francis formally approved letting Catholic priests bless same-sex marriages, same-sex couples, not even marriages.
The Vatican announced Monday, which is a radical shift in policy aimed at making the church more inclusive while maintaining somehow its strict ban on gay marriages.
So it's the purpose is making it more inclusive.
While the Vatican statement was heralded by some as a step toward breaking down discrimination in the Catholic church, some LGBTQ advocates warned it underscores the church's idea that gay couples remain inferior to homosexual or heterosexual partners, partner I don't know how that is.
It's never far enough, right?
That's the other thing.
I mean, they can take all these steps for LGBTQ +, but even still, they're still not happy.
It's still not enough.
Well, that's the thing.
That's something that the other side of the political aisle actually does a lot better than we do is they get us to give up ground and they say, okay, well, you know, you guys have to compromise your values, you have to compromise your morals, you have to compromise things that are near and dear to you and just sacred things that you want to protect.
But you're gonna lose if you don't compromise with us.
But we somehow don't have that ability the other way around.
No, we're not strict enough.
I mean, on the right...
Well, we're not hard enough.
We're always saying sorry.
We're always in this constant apology tour when really what we should be saying is, no, we're serious.
We're not gonna give up any more ground because this direction is very degenerate.
And it's not the path we want for our country.
So basically, they can go to Catholic Church service and be blessed by the priests.
I mean, that's basically what the gist of this is, right?
And then having their relationship blessed.
Right.
Well, they...
Basically, what the Pope said was that he wanted to make it, like you said before, more inclusive, and that he wouldn't immediately reject the idea of a same-sex couple blessing, because it would be more of, like, a case-by-case.
And, honestly, this is, on its face, still nothing, really.
It's just...
Giving in to the degeneracy.
It's just saying, oh, well, maybe we will accommodate for you.
But like you said, it's just giving another inch.
And where is this going to lead?
Giving another inch.
Yeah, and a couple miles too.
It's not just an inch that they want.
They want miles after that inch.
Inches turn to feet, turn to miles, turn to, you know, it's never ending.
It's sad because I grew up Catholic.
I grew up in the Catholic Church.
We'd go to mass every Saturday or Sunday, go out to dinner.
We had a nice group of friends in the parish and I grew up going to Catholic kindergarten, Catholic elementary school, Catholic high school.
Everything was Catholic this and it was only maybe about five years ago when my eyes started opening to the Catholic Church and I started losing respect for them.
Number one, when they when they started issuing out sparkly purple sparkle ashes for Ash Wednesday.
I don't know if you remember that, but they started doing that, giving out purple sparkle ashes across the country in many churches for Ash Wednesday to symbolize LGBT community and have them be embraced by Ash Wednesday as well and not have them feel left out.
So purple sparkly ashes.
I started thinking, hmm, but wait a second, aren't we against...
Gay marriage?
I mean, isn't a marriage between a man and a woman?
And that's the premises of Christianity and God's words.
So why are we then accommodating something totally different and opposite of that?
And then, of course, after looking deeper into the rabbit holes, we know how corrupt the Catholic Church is at this point.
And so I identify as Christian now.
And go to a Christian church, not a Catholic church at this point.
But a lot of people don't have their eyes open yet.
And it's sad how far down the Catholic church has really gone.
But of course, gays are wanting to celebrate this and be blessed by Catholic priests because many Catholic priests are gay.
Let's be honest with that.
I mean, many Catholic priests...
Are not necessarily the best role model for how you should be a good man in the world and the kind of man you should strive for in this world, a Catholic priest, right?
Well, unfortunately, predators are attracted to roles where they have control over people, where they're seen as they're supposed to have this, you know, higher sense of responsibility and morality, so people are naturally inclined to trust these people, with their most vulnerable population being the children in this case.
And unfortunately, we've seen a lot of that.
And like we've been saying, this is just further degeneracy being introduced into the Catholic faith and dragging down people who are supposed to be representative of this beautiful faith and turning them into nothing more than degenerate sinners.
Yes, it's like, it's opening the doorway to darkness without so many people even realizing it.
And that's really sad.
It's like the frog boiling and slowly boiling in the pot of water.
It's happening so slowly that these people don't realize what's happening around them, but they're boiling.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
And that's sort of what happened, too, with the New Age religious movement, right?
A lot of people thought, well, this is great, New Age-y, because I can identify more as just spiritual instead of one particular religion or Christian.
And I fell into that trap, too, once upon a time and thought New Age-y was really cool and You know, yes, I'm even more closer to God because of the way that, you know, the crystals and, you know, I worship the earth and stuff.
But then you really realize it.
And it's just yet another front group, a sort of a front religion for leading them down the path towards darkness, towards away from Jesus and who the Lord really is.
Right.
It's definitely a grease trap for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Okay.
Any more thoughts on that before we move on to another topic?
No, let's move on.
Okay, cool.
So, another interesting topic, just speaking of all things degenerate.
In public schools now, and I believe this is in a Washington public school, so surprise, surprise.
But in a Washington public school, they sent out a memo to employees that they cannot put up Christmas decorations.
No Christmas decorations.
They cannot play Christmas music or dress up for Christmas.
Anyone at the school?
And meanwhile, of course, they're proudly celebrating gay and LGBT stuff and pride walks.
But imagine now canceling Santa at schools, canceling Christmas.
I mean, that was the most exciting time when I was a child going to Christmas or school during the weeks leading up to Christmas and having Christmas festivities and decorations around.
How sad is this?
Well, could they be any more Scrooge McDuckian?
I mean, you know, you gotta take away Santa Claus.
Bah, humbug.
Exactly.
There will be no Christmas.
It's complete lunacy, and again, the motive is transparent, and it's...
It's a direct attack against the values of Christianity and the values of Western civilization.
And they want us to forget these roots.
They want us to not have a connection to God.
They want to discourage that as much as possible in school.
And of course, this is in Washington, D.C., the most godless place in America.
Yeah, exactly.
And I think they're also trying to, there's a lot of other schools that are, they're only allowing Santa if it's like a black Santa, or if it's a Hispanic Santa, or some sort of a colored Santa, but Santa as a white man is just too white for a lot of people now.
Historical accuracy, I guess, is just not in the cards for schools these days.
You know, you've got critical race theory and all these other horrendous things clogging up the education system and churning out dummies every day in these commie daycares.
Why not throw in some anti-religious stuff?
They've already done the rest of the brainwashing.
Why not just kick it up into high gear?
That's exactly what's happening.
Exactly.
They're doing that.
And then the other side of it, I think, is just the joy kill.
The joy killing.
They love to murder and kill and kill joy.
And what more joy does a child have than looking forward to Christmas and Santa and presents and Christmas trees and gingerbread man and all the great fun things that you have to look forward to for Christmas?
And they say, sorry, that's canceled.
Just like canceling Halloween costumes for Halloween because it's not inclusive enough or it's racist.
Sorry.
They want children's joy to be killed.
So when their joy is killed and they have got nothing to look forward to and everything's an oppression Olympics, then all they can really do is fill that empty soul up with orders from the Marxist left.
You know, just being a good order follower and a good obeyer of their order so that they can be a radical communist agent for the left, right?
Right, exactly.
And they further push the narrative that co-aligns the titles of a Christian with a terrorist.
I see a lot of people on the internet have been saying stuff about how Christian nationalists are the new jihadists, as if that even makes sense.
Christian nationalists are the new jihadists.
Yeah, and I mean, this is a prominent thing, and this isn't just like talking points online.
You know they all read the same tired recycling points from the education system all the way to the stuff that gets regurgitated on Twitter.
So this is what they're being told in these schools or these commie daycare programs.
When you say commie daycare programs, are you saying that they, they're, I mean, I wouldn't put it past them, and I don't know firsthand yet, but they're still, they're shoving this kind of indoctrination in as early as daycare too, daycare and pre-K? I do mean it starting at pre-K, but it's actually lovingly what my good friend Nolfrich calls public schools.
It's commie daycare.
Yeah, you're right.
It's a commie daycare.
That's a good name for it.
But yeah, I know.
I'm hearing a lot of reports on Reddit groups and Facebook groups of moms who are very concerned That in daycare and in pre-K, they're being given tablets already, if you can believe it.
I mean, tablets already in daycare and in pre-K, already starting them so young on technology and then getting them addicted to the rabbit holes that technology brings.
Again, just continuing this theme of turning them into mindless zombie robots.
It's really sad how young they're starting them off.
Well, those are the ultimate dopamine machines, right?
That's the reason that they were created as far as technology.
They were meant to be performance enhancement.
They were supposed to be geared towards performance enhancement.
So what is happening is they're giving these to kids younger and younger.
It's, you know, the television babysitter, the electronic babysitter.
You know, as you're saying, kids as young as, you know, less than one, one years old, have no speech capabilities whatsoever, but they can fully function an iPad.
And that is bewildering.
It's scary.
And these are also the generations of children that are, you know, post-lockdowns, who are families are talking about masks and all sorts of other things that are going to hinder their development and their social capabilities, which, again, is only being Made worse by these screens that we keep in front of them all day, every day.
Yeah, it's really disturbing and sad.
Well, in some good news, we got some positive news for this week.
This is pretty interesting.
New poll that just came out that apparently 41% of respondents under age 30, under age 30, so pretty young here, are planning to vote for Donald J. Trump for president.
And only 28% of those respondents said that they would vote for Biden.
And one of the issues that they mainly stated, one of the main issues was the economy, their concerns about the economy and finances.
And interestingly enough, that's a young crowd.
I mean, younger ages are now saying, I'll want to vote for Trump.
What do you think about this new poll that came out?
I got more for you.
You want more?
Here we go.
Look at this headline from Forbes.
Trump pulling younger voters away from Biden.
Voters under 30 savor Donald Trump over Biden.
What world are we living in?
And all you got to do, all you got to do is go ask him.
Luckily, we have cameras at my company.
We went and asked.
Let's find out what do the young people think.
Remember this quote saying, if you vote for Donald Trump and I mean you're not black, then you ain't black.
How the hell are you going to tell me I'm not bloody?
Hold up.
Wait a minute.
Something ain't right.
Joe Biden's also cloned.
Which Joe Biden do you think is back there?
Number five.
Is Joe Biden popular around here?
I hope not.
I mean, there's definitely been a lot more people asking for pics with this than telling me to take it down.
He is not popular around here.
Why is that?
He's terrible, man.
He's just overall terrible.
Yeah.
Come on, man.
At University of Tampa, if you walk around the campus right now, you'll see on people's dorm rooms, Biden socks, F Biden flags everywhere.
There's not one thing he does for this country that is good for this country.
You're from where?
Mexico.
Do people in Mexico like Joe Biden or no?
I mean, most people just, they look at him because of the memes and stuff like that.
Like what?
I mean, there was one video of him just walking in a bush, I don't know.
as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.
So say it with me: "Season Broadway!" It's terrific.
I mean, it makes sense.
You kind of see these waves up and down as far as where people's political alignment is at.
The last couple generations have been extremely left, have been leaning towards all of the programming for Democrats, basically.
And it makes sense that these kids are growing up watching the way that these adults, it's horrifying to say that, but, you know, these now adults are living their lives and they're thinking to themselves, wow, what a mess.
These people are mentally ill.
They don't have any control over their life.
Why would I want to look anything like them?
Look at this economy that This is a result of all of these democratic policies.
Why would I ever want to be that?
And it's true, even the younger, more left-minded people, when I have conversations with family or with friends, even in the area, who tend to lean a little more left, their big talking point is, but the right does have the economy right.
The left has no idea how to manage the economy.
And it's like the beginning domino, right?
It's like, okay, we're reeling you in.
You're gonna see the light of day one day.
And it's really refreshing to see that happening on a much larger scale for younger generations.
And to get hot, I got a lot of, I got hairy legs that turn, that turn blonde in the sun.
And the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again.
They'd look at it.
So I learned about roaches.
I learned about kids jumping on my lap.
And I've loved kids jumping on my lap.
And I tell you what.
Yeah, it is.
And it's like, okay, finally, they're starting to wake up here.
Finally, they're starting to get their senses about them.
And then let me just move on because there's the poll also is promising for women.
So let me read what it says here with the women voters.
Trump is more popular among women voters now.
41% again, 41% Trump versus 34% for Biden.
That's pretty awesome.
So women voters are also finally waking up too and not thinking he's just this crazy rapist anymore, this misogynistic a-hole.
Well, they're starting to realize the lie of toxic masculinity because there's nothing toxic about a truly masculine man.
The toxicity comes in when that man is too feminine.
When men act like women, they are- Exactly.
They're full of soy.
They're full of estrogen.
They react overly emotionally.
And people can call that whatever they want.
They could say it's sexist, misogynistic, whatever.
Women are biologically inclined to be more sensitive.
And that's just true.
So when men...
Overreact when men get violent, when men have outbursts.
These are not violent outbursts of, you know, this isn't, like, toxic masculinity.
This is toxic femininity taking form inside of the male body.
And then, of course, a lot of these guys end up being the trannies, so...
Yeah, exactly.
Take that what you will.
Exactly.
They're the toxic ones, 100% sure.
Well, that's good.
I'm excited that some people in the younger generation, at least, are waking up.
I mean, that's a good pull.
It would be worse if it was going in the other direction.
At least we know there is a awakening happening, and we're not all doomed.
