1
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:02,149
okay here it is here's lilith's

2
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:03,280
two-minute speech

3
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:05,680
that got so much attention followed by

4
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:07,040
the interview

5
00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:09,040
you'll notice that they cut her mic at

6
00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:10,639
the end of the speech

7
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:12,400
also keep in mind she did the speech

8
00:00:15,669 --> 00:00:13,920
with no notes

9
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:15,679
fairfax county public school teacher and

10
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,880
i'm going to give a message of

11
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,640
encouragement to parents and teachers

12
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:20,000
and students who are too afraid to come

13
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,279
and speak forward

14
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:23,039
parents the longer that you wait and you

15
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:24,560
don't hold your child's schools

16
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:25,199
accountable

17
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:27,119
gives these guys more time to dictate

18
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:28,960
what's best for your child's physical

19
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:31,039
mental and emotional health don't be

20
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:32,880
afraid to speak out for your kids

21
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:34,559
because they are voiceless and they and

22
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:36,079
they rely on you

23
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:37,760
you should be afraid of them rooting for

24
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:39,440
socialism by the time they get to middle

25
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:40,160
school

26
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,760
teachers it may seem that our careers

27
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:43,440
have come to a dead end but i'm here to

28
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:44,879
remind you we don't work for the school

29
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,440
board

30
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,280
we work to mold the next generation of

31
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:49,760
well-rounded american patriots

32
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:52,800
so don't give up because it is up to us

33
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,800
students you are on the front lines of

34
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:56,480
these indoctrination camps

35
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:57,840
challenge the staff when you're

36
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:00,000
presented with a ludicrous statement

37
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,920
and do not allow anybody to tell you

38
00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:03,440
that you cannot accomplish anything

39
00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,199
because of your skin color or to hate

40
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,200
yourself because of your skin color

41
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:09,439
students it is up to you to be the next

42
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,720
generation of victims

43
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:13,439
or victories and finally to the board

44
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:14,560
this isn't over

45
00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:24,870
i'll call you a hero people are calling

46
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:26,159
you a hero and it's like

47
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,680
thank you very much would you ever

48
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:29,600
imagine that you'd be called a hero for

49
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:32,079
simply standing up for basic american

50
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:32,799
principles

51
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,520
no i'm not a hero i mean i i didn't do i

52
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:37,680
don't think i did anything special

53
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,720
um i i you know i i told michael i said

54
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:42,799
i would i will die for what i believe in

55
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:45,280
so i'm not gonna watch this country

56
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:48,159
you know have its expiration date shrunk

57
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:49,439
more and more and more

58
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,159
uh the less we we speak up so and it

59
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,479
happened on all my watch yeah

60
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:57,119
yeah well i agree with you and i think a

61
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:58,240
lot of people agree with you but it's

62
00:02:02,789 --> 00:01:59,680
getting harder and harder to

63
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:02,799
uh to speak up uh well anyway you'll

64
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,200
have

65
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:05,360
um you you were on fox for a brief

66
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:06,880
moment but we'll have more time on this

67
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,080
show to kind of

68
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:11,200
dive into exactly what the circumstances

69
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:12,080
are going on

70
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:15,840
in loudoun county virginia right

71
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:18,560
and what led to you giving this you know

72
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:20,080
very brief presentation before they cut

73
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,560
your mic

74
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,480
i i guess you're only allowed uh one

75
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:24,239
minute is that one minute

76
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:26,640
yeah actually it became even more

77
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:28,160
dramatic though the way it worked out

78
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,440
because

79
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,760
you were kind of hitting a crescendo and

80
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:32,959
then you were gonna let the school board

81
00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:34,959
have it then they cut the mic so it made

82
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:36,319
it look like you know they intentionally

83
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,710
just because they didn't want to hear

84
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:43,280
the hear the last part well

85
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:46,879
so so let's just jump into telling us

86
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,879
what is really going on in the schools

87
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,519
i mean you're a music teacher so you

88
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:55,200
know that tells me that you're not the

89
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:55,760
one

90
00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:58,560
charged with uh instructing critical

91
00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:59,840
race theory or

92
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:02,319
social justice or all these related

93
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:04,080
principles that we're hearing that are

94
00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:04,319
all

95
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,480
kind of just disguises for a new brand

96
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:08,239
of socialism

97
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,680
marxism um but tell us what you know

98
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:12,640
about what's going on

99
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,760
in your school well

100
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,440
um first of all thank you for having me

101
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:19,120
on the show and for shedding light on

102
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,080
this issue

103
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,480
um before the school year started when

104
00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:24,480
we were getting ready for back to school

105
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:25,599
and the teachers are going through

106
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:27,519
professional development sessions over

107
00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:28,799
the summer

108
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,840
we were spending so much time

109
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,519
during those hours of professional

110
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,879
development talking about

111
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,159
microaggressions

112
00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,319
checking our privilege uh white

113
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:40,239
supremacy and all these things and i'm

114
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,879
thinking

115
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,400
how am i going to get ready to teach

116
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,640
kids through a laptop screen let's talk

117
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,400
about that for a second

118
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:48,959
and as a music teacher the the one thing

119
00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:49,680
that i

120
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,519
how to react to was when i was in a

121
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,200
professional development with other

122
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,120
music teachers in the district

123
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,599
and they started to debate about

124
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:03,040
teaching the national anthem

125
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:06,640
because it's rooted in racism

126
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:08,720
whether they should teach what about the

127
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:09,680
national anthem

128
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:12,959
the history of it um just to sing it

129
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,000
you know not all of our students were um

130
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:18,160
born in this country they may not feel

131
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,840
comfortable with having to sing the

132
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,440
national anthem and

133
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:24,000
i didn't say anything probably for a

134
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,759
good reason but

135
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:28,160
back then i just bit my tongue but i

136
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:29,360
wanted them to know

137
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,759
i'm a legal immigrant in this country

138
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:33,120
okay my family

139
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:35,440
and i came here for a specific we came

140
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,800
here for a reason

141
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:38,720
when we got to america we didn't

142
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:40,639
question why do we stand for the pledge

143
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,360
every day

144
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,520
we don't question why do we stand for

145
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,440
the national anthem we simply do it

146
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,919
because that's the american thing to do

147
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:50,560
where tell me where you're from i'm from

148
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:51,280
armenia

149
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:53,840
i was born in germany i grew up in czech

150
00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,560
republic

151
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,720
we moved to the united states of america

152
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,800
around 2004.

153
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:00,639
i have a lot of armenian friends here

154
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,160
and i was thinking that you're armenian

155
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:04,080
but i always see it with an i-a-n

156
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:07,360
and you've got the y-a-n mm-hmm

157
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:10,320
it's spelt either way spelled either way

158
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,880
yeah

159
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:13,360
so um so i shouldn't be surprised that

160
00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:14,320
you're

161
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:17,120
an immigrant because you know the right

162
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,639
gets

163
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:21,840
blamed as being anti-immigrant when

164
00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:25,280
the truth is the immigrants are who

165
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:27,199
actually might end up saving this

166
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:28,160
country

167
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:29,759
because it's the immigrants that are the

168
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,440
ones that are really speaking out

169
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,440
because and i have a lot of russian

170
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:35,440
friends here my wife is ukrainian

171
00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:38,080
and they're the ones that have seen this

172
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:39,520
firsthand

173
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,280
in the countries that they've come from

174
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,880
americans we're kind of

175
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,120
fat dumb and happy you know we've always

176
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,039
had these freedoms

177
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:49,440
so we don't really know what not having

178
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:50,320
them

179
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,720
is like whereas people that came from

180
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:54,240
other countries that came here that

181
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,639
didn't

182
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:56,160
have it and came here as you said for a

183
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,840
specific reason

184
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:59,520
they're the ones that appreciate it and

185
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:01,680
they're the ones that are

186
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:05,039
antennas are up big time as to what the

187
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:06,000
heck is going

188
00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:09,199
on in this america that we came to

189
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:10,720
thinking that it was a free

190
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:14,319
free and open society that's right

191
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,720
that's right and we we acknowledge that

192
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:18,160
we have the liberties

193
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:19,520
and the rights and the freedom in this

194
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:21,280
country and if we lose those

195
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,120
in the united states of america where do

196
00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:25,440
we go right where do we go from there

197
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,319
and so

198
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,120
um there is that stereotype which is

199
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,880
true that immigrants

200
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:33,039
work so much quite so much harder to

201
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:34,080
keep those

202
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,520
essential american values intact because

203
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:39,280
americans you know they've had it they

204
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,639
were born with it they've been

205
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:42,560
complacent with it maybe but we're like

206
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:43,440
oh no no no

207
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:45,680
it'll be taken from you you know in a

208
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,639
quick second

209
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,479
yeah yeah and you know one of the

210
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:50,319
problems i mean

211
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,759
right now the flood is latin american

212
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,759
immigrants or you know mexico and in

213
00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:57,199
central america which are

214
00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:00,000
great hardworking people i i'm in los

215
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,360
angeles i interact with them

216
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:03,360
all the time in fact there's three of

217
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:05,520
them working on my deck as we speak

218
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:08,800
okay great hard-working people but

219
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:11,520
they weren't fleeing because they wanted

220
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,000
freedom

221
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:14,000
they're they're fleeing for economic

222
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:15,360
opportunity i mean

223
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:18,639
they're destitute down there um you know

224
00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:19,280
the

225
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:23,039
an hour versus our you know 15

226
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:24,960
an hour so they're not necessarily

227
00:07:27,830 --> 00:07:26,479
coming here for

228
00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:27,840
for the other the freedoms that you and

229
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,919
i are talking about and then when

230
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:31,039
they're coming here

231
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:33,440
they've got the democrat party telling

232
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,319
them

233
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:37,280
we're for you republicans hate you

234
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,319
they're racist

235
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,680
they don't give a [\h__\h] about you they

236
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:41,440
don't want you here they want you out of

237
00:07:45,990 --> 00:07:42,400
this country

238
00:07:48,309 --> 00:07:46,000
and so naturally these that group of

239
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:48,319
immigrants is voting democrat even

240
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,520
though inherently

241
00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,120
i don't think they believe in this

242
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,280
nonsense that you're fighting against

243
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:55,039
trying to fight against but

244
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:56,800
unfortunately

245
00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:58,800
unbeknownst to them essentially they're

246
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,599
voting for the wrong party

247
00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:03,199
oh i agree with you i mean the

248
00:08:07,189 --> 00:08:04,960
immigrants that are coming here from

249
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:07,199
you know south america central america

250
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,240
even armenians

251
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,560
we are naturally conservative we have

252
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:12,160
conservative values

253
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,800
so it's not until they move to america

254
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,720
and they're introduced you know to this

255
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,400
new mindset by their media

256
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,440
by the corporations hollywood

257
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,919
that they start to vote a different way

258
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,680
and that's heartbreaking but

259
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:27,440
that's why the sooner that we can get

260
00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:28,879
involved with the children in our

261
00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:30,400
schools the sooner we can

262
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:33,279
uh fix those issues yeah yeah i mean

263
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:34,959
just to say in california for a second

264
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,839
that is my answer to california's

265
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:39,120
problems or

266
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,120
what has caused it is basically we've

267
00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:43,120
had a flood of hispanic immigrants the

268
00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:44,080
percentage now

269
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,880
in california is like 38 39 hispanic

270
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:48,880
they're voting 70 to 75 percent

271
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:52,000
democrat and um just because

272
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:55,200
you know they're being hoodwinked by

273
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:56,000
democrats

274
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:59,200
that they're the party for them um and

275
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,720
it takes a lot of digging and

276
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:03,120
understanding and research and education

277
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:03,760
to

278
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,279
really understand why democrats aren't

279
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:07,600
really for them okay so back to your

280
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:08,640
story so

281
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:09,760
you're you're in high school you're

282
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:12,080
teaching high school peach elementary

283
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,480
school

284
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:15,279
element what grade uh kindergarten

285
00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:16,640
through sixth grade

286
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:19,839
okay and so over the summer you're

287
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:20,320
saying

288
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:23,120
you're hearing so this is a summer

289
00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:24,800
basically last summer

290
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:27,519
and you guys are getting prepared to go

291
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:28,880
back to school but it's going to be

292
00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:29,760
virtual

293
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:32,399
only correct yep we were getting ready

294
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:34,880
to go back to school virtual

295
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:36,480
at the beginning of the school year they

296
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:38,640
had a tentative deadline of when we

297
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:40,160
would go back to hybrid

298
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:43,440
so half in person half virtual but they

299
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:45,040
kept pushing that deadline they were

300
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:46,480
talking about we might do hybrid

301
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:49,040
september became october became november

302
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,160
until it became april wow

303
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,480
uh yeah i i've got friends who have

304
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:56,320
young kids and they just said

305
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,240
you know six seven eight nine

306
00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,080
nine-year-olds that they can't be taught

307
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,959
through a computer i mean maybe maybe

308
00:10:06,949 --> 00:10:04,399
college can

309
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:06,959
maybe high school even but children

310
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:09,680
cannot be taught through a computer

311
00:10:13,269 --> 00:10:12,000
heartbreaking it was that i mean just to

312
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:13,279
touch on that for a second i mean what

313
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,800
was your experience in trying to teach

314
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,000
these kids

315
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:17,920
through well these are yeah i mean these

316
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,000
are little kids there's only so much

317
00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:22,160
in music that you can teach these kids

318
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:24,079
without physically being there in person

319
00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:24,959
to show them

320
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:27,440
and to you know get them to move so

321
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:28,320
during my

322
00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:31,040
zoom uh my zoom calls with them i would

323
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:32,320
make sure that i was

324
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:34,399
incorporating movement as well these

325
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:36,079
kids are stuck in front of the screen

326
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,640
for

327
00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:39,120
six seven hours a day so i was gonna

328
00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:41,120
make sure that in my music class

329
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,720
they were gonna get movement they were

330
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,560
gonna get critical thinking skills

331
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,320
they were to be able to engage with one

332
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:48,000
another but you can only fit

333
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,720
so much in a 30 minute class how many

334
00:10:56,310 --> 00:10:52,399
kids did you have

335
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,320
i had about 120 i believe

336
00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:58,480
don't quote me and and but in particular

337
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,640
classes how many

338
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,880
in a particular class they ranged from

339
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:04,399
anywhere between 18

340
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:07,040
to 25. so there's the little pictures of

341
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:09,120
them all over your screen

342
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:11,839
and i mean when one of them walks away

343
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:13,519
or is not paying attention or whatever i

344
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:14,320
mean

345
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:16,640
is there anything you can do about that

346
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,360
not really

347
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:20,000
um also those kids are smart they turn

348
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:22,000
their mics off and their cameras off

349
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,600
and you know put yourself in their

350
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:25,279
position do they really want to be

351
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,160
engaged

352
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,800
the entire time if they know they're not

353
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:30,640
really contributing much

354
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:34,320
so i wanted to as early as i could to

355
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,680
you know ensure that these kids are

356
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:37,279
getting involved and i would call them

357
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:38,720
out to answer something or to

358
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:40,640
demonstrate something with their cameras

359
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:41,200
on

360
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,640
just to make sure that they do feel

361
00:11:47,110 --> 00:11:44,880
included and that they are able to grasp

362
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,120
the concept most importantly

363
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:49,120
so you've spent essentially the entire

364
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:50,480
year through

365
00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:53,600
uh virtual learning yes

366
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:56,240
i i personally the school district did i

367
00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:57,680
personally had taken

368
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,639
a medical leave um during the school

369
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:02,720
year so i was not teaching the entire

370
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:03,760
school year

371
00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:06,160
but up until i up until that leave of

372
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:07,040
absence kicked in

373
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:10,560
i we were fully virtual so as kids go

374
00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:12,320
back to school full-time now

375
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:15,680
i mean you'd just be guessing but

376
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,839
clearly it's not like they had a full

377
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:19,839
school school year i mean they're all

378
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,839
going to be behind at least half a year

379
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:25,839
to ballpark it

380
00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:28,880
yeah fairfax county public schools

381
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:29,680
actually had an

382
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,800
article published i want to say i don't

383
00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,560
know six months ago or so maybe it was

384
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:36,480
the beginning of the school year

385
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,800
there was a article published that some

386
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:41,040
parents are so infurious with the school

387
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:42,160
district's handling

388
00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,240
of their special needs kids these kids

389
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:46,160
are suffering the most right let's put

390
00:12:48,550 --> 00:12:48,000
everything else aside let's put aside

391
00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:48,560
the hold

392
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:50,800
you know we're virtual and they need

393
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:51,760
extra assistance

394
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:54,560
the special needs kids this is not their

395
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:55,839
environment

396
00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,519
they need to have a specific routine

397
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:01,920
a regimen they need to be in school in

398
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,720
person

399
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,560
they're not receiving the attention that

400
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,320
they deserve and so

401
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:08,800
um fairfax county got a lot of heat for

402
00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:09,519
that

403
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:11,760
and they also got a lot of heat for

404
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,240
about 83 to 86

405
00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:16,800
of the school district failing now let

406
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:17,680
me just

407
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:20,000
tell you jim there are a hundred and

408
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:21,519
eighty eight thousand students in

409
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:23,360
fairfax county public schools so do the

410
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:23,760
math

411
00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:26,160
if 83 to 86 percent of the the district

412
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,120
is failing

413
00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:29,839
that's a big no-no fairfax county public

414
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,399
schools

415
00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:32,399
is one of the richest counties in the

416
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,440
country

417
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,519
loudoun county which is right next to us

418
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:37,760
which is where i gave my speech

419
00:13:42,629 --> 00:13:40,079
is the richest county in the country and

420
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:42,639
they've been on national news for a year

421
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,800
so the point that i want to make is if

422
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,320
that can happen here

423
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:48,800
that could happen anywhere well i know

424
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:50,160
in most of california they were closed

425
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:51,120
for the

426
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:54,560
entire year and here you know i mean it

427
00:13:57,990 --> 00:13:55,600
seems to be

428
00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:58,000
primarily the teachers union that was

429
00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,040
the one fighting

430
00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:02,160
the reopening um it was that the case

431
00:14:05,269 --> 00:14:03,600
with you guys is that what made it so

432
00:14:07,269 --> 00:14:05,279
difficult to get

433
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,279
in-person learning was the teachers

434
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:09,120
union fighting it

435
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:12,160
yes there were some foia requests made

436
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:14,560
to look at the communication that the

437
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:16,720
teachers unions was having with

438
00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:19,839
some of the cdc directors and they

439
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:22,399
revealed email communication from the

440
00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:23,680
teachers unions here

441
00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:27,440
who were you know intimidating

442
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,600
the health directors and saying we're

443
00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:31,440
not going back to school make sure that

444
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:33,040
we're not going back to school it's not

445
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:34,079
happening

446
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:37,440
and so that was what pushed going back

447
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:38,800
to school back

448
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,600
so much is the pressure that the school

449
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:43,760
board is receiving the pressure that the

450
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:45,600
board of education is receiving from the

451
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:47,760
teachers unions from local activist

452
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:50,560
groups they are all intertwined

453
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,680
the thing i've been wondering about

454
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:53,920
teachers unions is were they trying to

455
00:14:57,509 --> 00:14:54,800
negotiate

456
00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:57,519
for some extra compensation to go back i

457
00:15:02,470 --> 00:14:59,120
mean what was their play

458
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:02,480
here i don't know about the compensation

459
00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:03,760
part but i will tell you

460
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:05,839
this from the beginning and i'll talk

461
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:07,279
about california since

462
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:10,480
that state needs a lot of love um

463
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:13,680
but just to look at california utla

464
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:15,920
being either the biggest or the second

465
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:17,519
largest teachers union

466
00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:20,880
um in uh district in the country

467
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:24,720
they were so adamant about staying home

468
00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:28,320
we fear for our lives we are going to

469
00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:31,759
have such uh a horrible result of going

470
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:33,680
back to school our kids and staff are

471
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:36,160
going to get sick so they were pushing

472
00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:37,600
right staying home they're like we're

473
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:39,199
staying home we're not going back it's

474
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:40,399
not happening you're talking about

475
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:42,000
lauren

476
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:46,000
ella unified and um and utla

477
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,600
okay the the unions and so then when the

478
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:51,839
vaccination started coming out they said

479
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:52,959
we're not going back

480
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,399
until the staff is fully vaccinated okay

481
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:58,079
great well the staff gets fully

482
00:16:01,350 --> 00:15:59,519
vaccinated and guess what

483
00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:01,360
they're still not going back to school

484
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:03,360
they still fear for their lives

485
00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:06,800
what we saw here in virginia is that

486
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:09,199
fairfax county when they went back to in

487
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:09,759
person

488
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,360
four days a week when they when we were

489
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:13,600
starting to do the hybrid here

490
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:16,399
vaccinated teachers were still not going

491
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:19,440
back to work so you might be asking jim

492
00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:21,199
what is my kids doing if they're going

493
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:23,120
into the school or are they in person

494
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,000
learning

495
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:26,560
yes but technically they're getting

496
00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,920
in-person learning

497
00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:29,600
but what does that look like your child

498
00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:31,360
is sitting in a classroom

499
00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,839
learning through the screen learning

500
00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:35,519
from the teacher who is vaccinated

501
00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:36,959
teaching from home

502
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,079
so who is monitoring your child a paid

503
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:42,959
classroom monitor not a teacher not a

504
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:44,000
staff member

505
00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,240
a random person who is paid to monitor

506
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:48,079
your child

507
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:50,160
and this is what's happening in loudoun

508
00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:51,199
county

509
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:54,399
or in l.a or both both

510
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,880
fairfax county notoriously of vaccinated

511
00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,399
teachers we're not going back we're

512
00:17:02,949 --> 00:17:00,079
seeing that across the country

513
00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:02,959
so this is not just a virginia issue so

514
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:04,160
even if we hear

515
00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:07,199
that in person learning is back

516
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:08,720
i mean we're pretty much on summer break

517
00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:10,240
everywhere for the most part right but

518
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:12,160
when kids go back

519
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:14,480
and we hear about that we're back to

520
00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:16,000
in-person learning do you believe

521
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:19,120
even then we might be looking at

522
00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,760
teachers

523
00:17:23,189 --> 00:17:21,039
teaching remotely even though the

524
00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:23,199
students are in the classroom yes they

525
00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:25,039
fear for their lives whether they have

526
00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,439
been vaccinated fully or not

527
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,120
they're fearing for their lives i don't

528
00:17:32,390 --> 00:17:30,960
know how that's going to change but if

529
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:32,400
we don't pressure

530
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,080
teachers and say hey if you don't go

531
00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:36,720
back to work unfortunately we can't pay

532
00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:37,280
you

533
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,640
then they might have a different

534
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:40,960
reaction then they might be begging to

535
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,880
go back to work but in the meantime it

536
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:44,480
is all chillax

537
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,960
yeah well i've called you a hero but

538
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:48,480
i've said multiple times now that

539
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:49,600
teachers always

540
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,280
like to be called heroes some of them

541
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,039
kind of expect to be called heroes

542
00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:55,520
but they are not my heroes anymore

543
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:56,240
they're done

544
00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:58,640
i'm done with teachers you know who the

545
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:00,080
heroes are okay

546
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:03,360
health care they showed up for work

547
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,559
airline flight attendants showed their

548
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:08,960
work they're working in a box

549
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,799
they showed up for work and by the way

550
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:13,120
they also are part of a union

551
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:17,039
and the teachers didn't show up to teach

552
00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:20,160
they didn't go risk their lives

553
00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,840
which we all know is absurd to say that

554
00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:23,600
they're risking their lives but

555
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:26,000
everybody else risked the chance of

556
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:27,039
getting covered

557
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:28,720
by going back to work and the teacher

558
00:18:33,909 --> 00:18:30,799
said no

559
00:18:36,789 --> 00:18:33,919
no no it's really the unions but no yeah

560
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:36,799
yeah so sorry police officers border

561
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:38,880
patrol agents how many of them have died

562
00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:40,720
from contracting covet these people

563
00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:43,200
deal with homeless you know they deal

564
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:45,039
with with criminals every day

565
00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,960
they are the heroes too how about

566
00:18:53,190 --> 00:18:49,039
grocery store clerks

567
00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,200
cashiers baggers they went back to work

568
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:55,440
risked their lives so that we could go

569
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:57,520
and get and get groceries

570
00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:59,760
and that teachers are sitting their

571
00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,799
asses at home

572
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,120
and not teaching our children sorry you

573
00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:04,880
just lost your hero card

574
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:07,039
and and you can blame it on the unions

575
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:09,120
but i didn't see

576
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,160
teachers speaking up and saying

577
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,960
we disagree with our union we want to go

578
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,160
back and teach

579
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:18,240
i mean now that's a question for you

580
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:19,360
because i haven't seen this but then

581
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,400
again i haven't looked

582
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,720
are you aware was there any movements

583
00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:24,000
either around where you are

584
00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:25,280
or other places that you read about

585
00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:27,039
where teachers spoke

586
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:29,039
spoke up and out against their unions

587
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,360
and said no we want to go back

588
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,280
yes uh there were several teachers

589
00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:35,120
across the country that did speak up

590
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:38,400
whether it was anonymously um

591
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,480
i don't know to what extent publicly you

592
00:19:44,789 --> 00:19:42,160
have to understand too that

593
00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:44,799
we we place ourselves in such a

594
00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:45,679
vulnerable

595
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:47,679
position just to disagree with the

596
00:19:51,270 --> 00:19:48,880
system uh

597
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:51,280
simply thinking differently than them

598
00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:53,200
puts us in a risk of losing our jobs and

599
00:19:56,789 --> 00:19:54,480
our livelihood

600
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,799
so because of the fear of retaliation

601
00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:58,320
the teachers who really truly want to go

602
00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:00,000
back to work they're afraid

603
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:02,240
to say something because they will you

604
00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:03,840
know get doxed or worse they'll get

605
00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:04,799
fired

606
00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:06,240
there was a teacher i believe in

607
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:08,080
glendale california

608
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:11,120
who typed out a letter

609
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:14,080
and placed it in the mailbox of a parent

610
00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,000
and she did not reveal her identity but

611
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:18,480
she said i work for this school district

612
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,039
we are begging to be heard i am not the

613
00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:23,440
only teacher who feels this way but

614
00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:25,280
because of the union i can't say

615
00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:26,240
anything

616
00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:28,880
please speak up for us we want to go

617
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,720
back to school we want to be back in the

618
00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:32,080
classroom for your kids

619
00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:35,360
can you imagine you have to anonymously

620
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,679
drop off a typed out letter in the

621
00:20:40,710 --> 00:20:39,919
mailbox of a parent to get your message

622
00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,720
out

623
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:43,039
so but what is the retribution that they

624
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:44,960
fear i mean losing your job that would

625
00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:46,960
be the school firing you that's not the

626
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,400
union firing you so

627
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:51,520
help me understand what are they really

628
00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:52,880
afraid of when they when they don't want

629
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:53,919
to speak out and say

630
00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,720
i want to go back to work it's a gray

631
00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:58,480
area with the teachers unions and the

632
00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:59,440
school boards

633
00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:01,600
the teachers unions essentially are

634
00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:03,120
there to protect

635
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:06,080
the teachers from unlawful firing

636
00:21:10,230 --> 00:21:07,520
unlawful suspension

637
00:21:10,789 --> 00:21:10,240
and things like that but as we saw what

638
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:10,799
happened

639
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:13,280
to tanner cross here in loudoun county

640
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:14,320
public schools

641
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,520
he was suspended for saying i cannot

642
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:19,120
i can't refer to my students with

643
00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:21,039
pronouns that goes against my christian

644
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:21,919
beliefs

645
00:21:25,029 --> 00:21:24,320
did the teachers union back him up they

646
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,039
didn't

647
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:27,760
he was suspended he had to get a judge

648
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,120
to reinstate him

649
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:30,960
guess what the school board is doing now

650
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,280
they're going after the judge

651
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:36,080
to make him take it back they want the

652
00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:37,440
teachers to spend it they don't want him

653
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:39,679
to go back to work

654
00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:42,480
i didn't hear about the story this is

655
00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:43,360
what the

656
00:21:50,230 --> 00:21:47,200
want to be referred to as

657
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:50,240
a new policy in loudoun county says that

658
00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:51,919
teachers must refer to

659
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:55,280
their um students with a preferred name

660
00:22:01,990 --> 00:21:58,960
so let's say sarah now goes by tommy

661
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:02,000
and she or he or

662
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:05,200
whatever says my pronouns are it and

663
00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:05,760
they

664
00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:08,480
you must refer to sarah as tommy and

665
00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:11,200
must refer to tommy as it and they

666
00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:13,840
and tanner cross said i am not okay with

667
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,200
this gender dysphoria

668
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:17,840
we are hurting our kids i'm a teacher

669
00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:19,440
i'm a teacher but i work

670
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:22,000
um but i work for god first and i can't

671
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:23,360
lie to my kids

672
00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,760
and immediately the next day the school

673
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:27,600
district suspended him they said you

674
00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:30,000
cannot come on school property

675
00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:33,360
and they went after the poor guy well

676
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:35,360
we're we're jumping around and you're

677
00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:36,799
touching on a lot of different subjects

678
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:37,280
that

679
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:39,760
we we've done some deep dives on here

680
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:41,520
and as it pertains to transgender

681
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:44,960
it it's not a god issue

682
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:48,240
uh i mean it may be a god issue but

683
00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:51,520
transgender you were a thousand percent

684
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:54,559
not born this way and we've covered that

685
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:55,760
on the show and talked to lots of

686
00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:57,280
experts but just to

687
00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:59,200
remind my listeners in case you haven't

688
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:00,559
you know the most obvious

689
00:23:04,630 --> 00:23:02,559
example is the fact that when you have

690
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:04,640
identical twins

691
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:10,320
the majority of the time the other one

692
00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:11,840
is not so there's no

693
00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:13,520
they've mapped the whole human genome

694
00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:14,799
they haven't found the gay gene they

695
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:16,480
haven't found the transgender gene

696
00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:17,520
and the same thing is true with

697
00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:20,320
transgender when one identical twin

698
00:23:23,990 --> 00:23:22,400
is transgender the majority of the time

699
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:24,000
the other one is not

700
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:25,840
so that tells you right there you're not

701
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,760
born this way so you're not born

702
00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:29,440
transgender

703
00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:31,280
but what's confusing to parents is they

704
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:33,120
have a three or four year old

705
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:35,840
saying that i'm a boy but you know i

706
00:23:40,230 --> 00:23:37,840
feel like a girl i want to be a girl

707
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:40,240
so people think oh my god my kid must be

708
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:41,520
one of those that was born this way

709
00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:43,760
look how young this child is already

710
00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:44,720
saying this

711
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:48,559
the reason is it happens between zero

712
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:51,520
and about four years old that's when the

713
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:52,720
gender dysphoria

714
00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:55,679
takes root and not to go too deep into

715
00:23:59,190 --> 00:23:57,679
that but it's basically a child

716
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:59,200
not feeling comfortable in their

717
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:00,960
biological sex because

718
00:24:05,590 --> 00:24:03,919
of the lack of a close relationship with

719
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,600
a same-sex parent

720
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:08,159
or there could be abuse or there could

721
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:09,600
be bullying by an older

722
00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:12,080
child or whatever and if it's a boy the

723
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:13,279
boy retreats

724
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:16,720
from his maleness because he's um

725
00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:19,360
he's intimidated by other boys or by

726
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:20,880
maleness and so he retreats

727
00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:23,840
so unfortunately and and and if schools

728
00:24:27,669 --> 00:24:24,799
and parents

729
00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:27,679
are are teaching that oh best thing to

730
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,360
do to make that boy feel comfortable

731
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:31,520
to start calling him a girl's name

732
00:24:34,149 --> 00:24:33,520
you're just making the gender dysphoria

733
00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:34,159
worse

734
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:35,840
you've got it you've caught it at an

735
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:38,320
early stage and it can be remedied at an

736
00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:39,279
early stage

737
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:40,799
but it can be remedied where the child

738
00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:43,200
identifies with their biological sex

739
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:45,360
not the sex that's going on in their

740
00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:46,960
brain due to this

741
00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:48,480
psychological disorder that has

742
00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:50,799
developed very early on

743
00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:53,200
what i saw most recently the last thing

744
00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,559
i'll say because

745
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:56,080
it always goes back to what we're

746
00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:57,840
teaching in school i want the viewers

747
00:25:00,789 --> 00:24:59,360
and the listeners to understand that it

748
00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:00,799
does start at home

749
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,360
right that everything starts at home but

750
00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:05,520
the kids spend so much time in school as

751
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:06,960
well so we have to keep the schools

752
00:25:10,070 --> 00:25:07,840
accountable

753
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:10,080

00:25:45,269 --> 00:25:43,679

770
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:45,279

771
00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:45,679

776
00:26:00,950 --> 00:25:57,679
everyone is confronting her

777
00:26:03,990 --> 00:26:00,960
comforting her and cheering her on this

778
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,000
is happening around adults so

779
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:06,080
i can't sit here and blame the child i

780
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:08,320
can't sit here and make fun of the child

781
00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:10,320
i can't say oh my gosh what is she

782
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:10,960
thinking

783
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:14,400
she's a child okay she has been pushed

784
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,760
this liberal ideology in her school that

785
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:19,760
triggers the rotors in her brain to

786
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:21,120
think that there's something wrong with

787
00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:22,320
her family

788
00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:24,640
for saying that no you're a girl and now

789
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:25,600
she's you know

790
00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:28,480
transitioned to to this very depressing

791
00:26:31,269 --> 00:26:29,279
lifestyle

792
00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,279
and the adults the teachers the schools

793
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:33,200

the american academy of pediatrics

796
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,880
is supporting the early transition of

797
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:42,960
of sex from one to the other so it goes

798
00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:44,480

832
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,520
and i showed up my friend

833
00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,600
her name is julie perry she's also a

834
00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:59,360
high school teacher in fairfax running

835
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:00,799
for house of delegates

836
00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:02,960
so teachers are getting involved and i

837
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:04,559
do want to make sure that you have a

838
00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:05,760
message of hope

839
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:09,039
in this podcast that we are fighting but

840
00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:11,520
we signed up to speak and the reason

841
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,799
that we go to loudon

842
00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:14,880
is because loudon has been on national

843
00:28:19,029 --> 00:28:16,000
news for about

844
00:28:21,430 --> 00:28:19,039
a year now the policies that loudon

845
00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:21,440
passes will trickle to fairfax county

846
00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:23,200
will trickle to prince william county

847
00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:24,480
and so forth

848
00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:26,559
so the goal of this speech was to make

849
00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:28,640
sure that the school board understands

850
00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:29,039
that

851
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:31,360
we're not going anywhere we have one

852
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,320

855
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:38,240
we're not gonna be just on vacation and

856
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:39,760

00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:42,240
and forget about the gender uh confused

858
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:43,919
curriculum that you're pushing on us so

859
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:44,799
the the

860
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:47,039
overall consensus of the meeting of the

861
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:48,720
people who were signed up to speak were

862
00:28:52,310 --> 00:28:50,000
speaking in support of

863
00:28:53,269 --> 00:28:52,320
us as teachers and in support of parents

864
00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:53,279
as well

865
00:28:57,029 --> 00:28:54,960
were there ones that spoke on the other

866
00:29:00,870 --> 00:28:57,039
side and spoke in favor of

867
00:29:03,750 --> 00:29:00,880
crt and banning this teacher

868
00:29:05,909 --> 00:29:03,760

869
00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:05,919

870
00:29:10,630 --> 00:29:09,120
paraphernalia and they were supporting

871
00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:10,640
and backing the policies

872
00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:13,840
of um referring to our

873
00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:16,080
students by whatever name they choose

874
00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:18,080

876
00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:22,480

883
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:36,559
names and you have to keep up with their

884
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:37,440
pronouns

885
00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:39,200
you you can't you don't even have time

886
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:41,120
to teach because you have to make sure

887
00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:42,640
you're referring to your students

888
00:29:47,350 --> 00:29:45,679
as a new name and as a new pronoun oh

889
00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:47,360
yeah i mean if you got 22 kids in the

890
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:49,360
class and each one you know you look at

891
00:29:51,430 --> 00:29:50,880
the person and you would think to call

892
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:51,440
her

893
00:29:58,389 --> 00:29:55,760

to keep up so tell me about

898
00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:07,360

00:30:11,590 --> 00:30:10,000
critical race theory i mean what do you

900
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:11,600
know about to what extent

901
00:30:17,269 --> 00:30:14,880
it's being taught or

902
00:30:19,430 --> 00:30:17,279
maybe just being slipped into to

903
00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:19,440
teaching etc

904
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:22,000
um loudoun county public schools has

905
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:22,480
spent

906
00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:25,760
so much money on the teachings and

907
00:30:30,549 --> 00:30:27,919
the training for critical race theory

908
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,559
this is public information

909
00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:32,320
loudoun county has spent almost a

910
00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:34,159
million dollars in the last couple of

911
00:30:38,549 --> 00:30:36,000
years on training for critical race

912
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:38,559
theory the school board claims that they

913
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:40,320
don't teach critical race theory well

914
00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:41,200
there's no

915
00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:44,080
you know set class called critical race

916
00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:44,640
theory

917
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:47,120
but you're training your staff you are

918
00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:47,840
handing out

919
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:50,320
forums and surveys for them to check

920
00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:52,000
their microaggressions to check their

921
00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:53,120
white privilege

922
00:30:58,950 --> 00:30:56,480
to check their overt racism and

923
00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:58,960
they're they're giving a chart there's a

924
00:31:02,389 --> 00:31:00,720
there's a sheet with a triangle on it

925
00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:02,399
like a hierarchy

926
00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:04,559
and it's a hierarchy of you know what is

927
00:31:10,389 --> 00:31:06,720
more racist than the other

928
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:10,399
they've got maga hat wearers on there

929
00:31:13,350 --> 00:31:11,519
they've got you know

930
00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:13,360
trump supporters on there they've got

931
00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,640
white people on there i mean they're

932
00:31:19,190 --> 00:31:17,200
targeting a specific group of people

933
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:19,200
and to me that sounds like the word that

934
00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:21,120
starts with the letter r

935
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:23,200
so to answer your question jim they're

936
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:24,559
putting the teachers through the

937
00:31:28,789 --> 00:31:26,480
professional development first

938
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:28,799
okay they want to brainwash us first

939
00:31:32,149 --> 00:31:30,799
they want to make us feel guilty for our

940
00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:32,159
skin color first

941
00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:34,640
before we go out and we indoctrinate

942
00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:36,320
your children and make them feel guilty

943
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:38,000
for their skin color

944
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:40,320
okay that makes sense and that's um i

945
00:31:43,029 --> 00:31:41,360
think

946
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:43,039
that's very understandable that

947
00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:45,120
basically there's there's

948
00:31:49,269 --> 00:31:47,600
i'm gonna also refer to a litmus test

949
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:49,279
that teachers perhaps have to

950
00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:52,640
pass in order to go into the classroom

951
00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:53,600
and teach that

952
00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:56,320
you know it is known that you better

953
00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:57,760
subscribe

954
00:32:01,029 --> 00:31:59,360
to this it is expected that you

955
00:32:02,470 --> 00:32:01,039
subscribe to this this is what we're all

956
00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:02,480
subscribing to

957
00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:05,120
and this is we all need to buy into this

958
00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:07,039
diversity equity and inclusion

959
00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:09,600
i'm sure those are words used again and

960
00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:10,399
again and again

961
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:12,640
right so my personal experience with it

962
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:13,600
is

963
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:15,760
i was just kind of dabbling with the

964
00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:16,640
idea

965
00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:19,279
i was a lawyer and thinking about not

966
00:32:22,870 --> 00:32:20,799
teaching at a law school per se

967
00:32:24,070 --> 00:32:22,880
but but but maybe at a community college

968
00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:24,080
or a university

969
00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:26,640
and so i i dug into a little bit and i

970
00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:28,960
realized university of california

971
00:32:32,149 --> 00:32:31,360
which actually voters just in november

972
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:32,159
passed

973
00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:34,880
no affirmative action allowed by public

974
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:36,080
employers or

975
00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:38,080
in in admissions in the state of

976
00:32:43,830 --> 00:32:39,120
california

977
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:43,840
affirmative action

978
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:47,360
yes they voted against it twice 16 years

979
00:32:49,830 --> 00:32:48,000
ago

980
00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:49,840
and again back in november they voted

981
00:32:54,630 --> 00:32:51,919
against it when you put these issues in

982
00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:54,640
front of people the particular question

983
00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:56,640
they're conservative but when they go to

984
00:32:59,830 --> 00:32:58,480
vote they vote for the democrats that

985
00:33:01,830 --> 00:32:59,840
support this nonsense

986
00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:01,840
so here's the university of california

987
00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:03,519
that's not allowed to use affirmative

988
00:33:06,789 --> 00:33:04,399
action

989
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:06,799
but when i dig into an application i

990
00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:08,080
have to write a statement

991
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:10,000
in three sentences i have to give three

992
00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:11,360
sentences about my

993
00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:14,080
commitment to equity and what i have

994
00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:14,399
done

995
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:16,480
in my life to show my commitment to

996
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:18,080
equity now

997
00:33:21,509 --> 00:33:19,840
you're schooled in this i can tell and

998
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:21,519
and and my audience hopefully school

999
00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:22,320
didn't

1000
00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:23,440
you know this whole difference between

1001
00:33:27,029 --> 00:33:25,919
equity and equality equality is

1002
00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:27,039
colorblind

1003
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:30,480
of

1004
00:33:33,669 --> 00:33:32,720
outcome it's affirmative action etc

1005
00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:33,679
that's correct

1006
00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:36,000
totally antithetical to what the voters

1007
00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:37,039
just passed

1008
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:38,559
and yet in order for me to even be

1009
00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:40,720
considered i got to tell you about my

1010
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,760
commitment and all the things i've done

1011
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:42,559
for equity

1012
00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:44,240
same thing with the community colleges

1013
00:33:47,269 --> 00:33:46,240
california community colleges have the

1014
00:33:49,430 --> 00:33:47,279
exact same thing so

1015
00:33:51,590 --> 00:33:49,440
university of california community

1016
00:33:54,789 --> 00:33:51,600
colleges

1017
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:54,799
someone like me need not apply do not

1018
00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,320
unless i'm gonna lie

1019
00:33:59,909 --> 00:33:58,159
and come up with some nonsense about my

1020
00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:59,919
commitment to equity which i don't

1021
00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:01,120
believe in

1022
00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:05,120
and i think it's wrongheaded and racist

1023
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:08,320
and bad policy i'm not i

1024
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:11,359
they won't even consider my application

1025
00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:13,520
no and that'll become uh more and more

1026
00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:15,359
apparent i mean just looking at the

1027
00:34:18,869 --> 00:34:17,359
airlines i forgot which airline it was

1028
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:18,879
that said they're going to commit to

1029
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,320
hiring 50

1030
00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:22,480
uh black pilots and i'm thinking oh my

1031
00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:24,320
gosh we're not even going off of

1032
00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:26,639
marriage the last thing that i want is

1033
00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:27,520
to step on an

1034
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:29,760
airplane and have i don't care if you're

1035
00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:30,720
green or purple

1036
00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:34,079
but if you don't know how to you know

1037
00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:36,079
operate as a pilot and you were you

1038
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:37,440
weren't hired on

1039
00:34:40,629 --> 00:34:40,240
merit um and performance i'm going to

1040
00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:40,639
feel

1041
00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:42,480
a little bit uncomfortable and a little

1042
00:34:45,510 --> 00:34:43,919
unsafe and

1043
00:34:47,829 --> 00:34:45,520
of course school districts across the

1044
00:34:48,069 --> 00:34:47,839
country as well are committing to hiring

1045
00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:48,079
a

1046
00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:53,440
people of color to run the school

1047
00:34:57,910 --> 00:34:54,399
districts

1048
00:34:58,550 --> 00:34:57,920
so it's already so difficult to retain

1049
00:35:00,790 --> 00:34:58,560
teachers

1050
00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:00,800
it's already so difficult to recruit

1051
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:02,800
teachers who just want to teach

1052
00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:05,440
and retain us they're making it so much

1053
00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:06,160
harder

1054
00:35:10,390 --> 00:35:09,440
for people to simply apply so god forbid

1055
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,400
you're white

1056
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:13,440
but you have a great heart for the kids

1057
00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:15,520
you have a wonderful teaching experience

1058
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:16,960
and you're able to

1059
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:19,920
um prove yourself to your kids but sorry

1060
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:20,640
you're white

1061
00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:22,320
we don't want you we have enough of you

1062
00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:24,480
here yeah oh the discrimination against

1063
00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:26,320
whites is rampant

1064
00:35:29,910 --> 00:35:28,320
absolutely rampant but you know we're

1065
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:29,920
not allowed to talk about it because of

1066
00:35:33,829 --> 00:35:30,640
our

1067
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:33,839
is the only privilege

1068
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:36,240
that exists is the privilege of being

1069
00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:38,720
raised by two loving parents

1070
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:40,640
that's a privilege and that's the

1071
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:41,760
privilege that

1072
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:44,720
matters and that's what children need

1073
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,760
100

1074
00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:47,760
is two loving parents and unfortunately

1075
00:35:51,870 --> 00:35:49,599
there are some communities

1076
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:51,880
that that that don't have that don't

1077
00:35:55,270 --> 00:35:54,400
percentage-wise don't have it as much as

1078
00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:55,280
others obviously

1079
00:35:58,310 --> 00:35:56,560
the black community being the most

1080
00:36:01,510 --> 00:35:58,320
obvious where the lack of black founders

1081
00:36:04,069 --> 00:36:01,520
is there and some right-thinking

1082
00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:04,079
black leaders have been not afraid to

1083
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:05,680
say that barack obama

1084
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:07,200
was one of the people who wasn't afraid

1085
00:36:09,829 --> 00:36:08,720
to say that when he was running for

1086
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:09,839
president originally

1087
00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:11,440
and if you remember but he wasn't really

1088
00:36:16,550 --> 00:36:13,119
embraced by the black community when

1089
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:16,560
they were on clinton's side and um

1090
00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:19,520
but but when he got into office he he

1091
00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:20,960
stopped talking about that he kind of

1092
00:36:24,230 --> 00:36:21,599
caved

1093
00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:24,240
to the left and no that's not the

1094
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:25,520
message

1095
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:27,200
we don't want to say that the black

1096
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:28,480
community is doing something wrong

1097
00:36:31,910 --> 00:36:29,680
inherently we want to

1098
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:31,920
blame it on you know racism or the

1099
00:36:35,349 --> 00:36:33,520
police or whatever which

1100
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:35,359
just makes them victims because it

1101
00:36:38,069 --> 00:36:36,960
basically means that unless whites

1102
00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:38,079
change

1103
00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:40,079
blacks are screwed you you need the

1104
00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:41,200
government to come in and

1105
00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:42,560
change things for you in order for you

1106
00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:44,640
to succeed i

1107
00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:45,920
by saying victor i remember that was

1108
00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:46,960
part of your speech maybe you could

1109
00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:48,240
touch on

1110
00:36:50,950 --> 00:36:49,440
what what you're referring to when you

1111
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:50,960
talk about we could be victims or

1112
00:36:55,109 --> 00:36:52,640
victors

1113
00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:55,119
yeah the school board speech that i gave

1114
00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:57,200
it was not tailored to the school board

1115
00:37:00,950 --> 00:36:59,920
i don't have anything to say to them i

1116
00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:00,960
don't

1117
00:37:03,990 --> 00:37:03,440
really care to waste my minute on the

1118
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:04,000
podium

1119
00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:06,000
to speak to them because they're they

1120
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:07,200
they don't care

1121
00:37:10,470 --> 00:37:09,280
so the message that i gave was message

1122
00:37:12,790 --> 00:37:10,480
of encouragement to the

1123
00:37:13,829 --> 00:37:12,800
to the parents and teachers and students

1124
00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:13,839
and when i spoke about

1125
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,400
students i said it is up to you to be

1126
00:37:20,470 --> 00:37:18,240
the next generation of victims or

1127
00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:20,480
victories and the reason i said that

1128
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:22,880
is because you can choose do you want to

1129
00:37:25,829 --> 00:37:24,640
take this information that you're being

1130
00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:25,839
fed by your teachers

1131
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:27,680
you should be a victim this victim

1132
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:29,760
mentality of you can't

1133
00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:32,320
achieve because of your skin color we're

1134
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:33,760
going to

1135
00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:37,760
lower the standards

1136
00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:40,880
of being able to achieve because

1137
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:43,280
we don't think that you can make it so

1138
00:37:49,030 --> 00:37:44,320
in virginia

1139
00:37:51,589 --> 00:37:49,040
limiting the amount of math courses that

1140
00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:51,599
we offer because we want to make all the

1141
00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:52,560
students equal

1142
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:54,960
we want to make them equally stupid so

1143
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:56,480
the communities that we're hurting the

1144
00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:57,200
most

1145
00:38:01,510 --> 00:38:00,240
ironically are the black children we are

1146
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:01,520
hurting those kids

1147
00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:03,040
and their level of achievement in the

1148
00:38:07,270 --> 00:38:04,800
real world the most

1149
00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:07,280
so i wanted to make sure that i spoke

1150
00:38:12,550 --> 00:38:10,079
about victim mentality versus victor

1151
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:12,560
are you going to hide in a corner and

1152
00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:14,240
feel victimized

1153
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:16,960
uh and say i can't go out and i can't

1154
00:38:20,950 --> 00:38:18,960
get a real job and i can't

1155
00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:20,960
hold myself accountable or will you be a

1156
00:38:25,829 --> 00:38:22,960
victor and contribute

1157
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:25,839
greatness to society it's up to you so

1158
00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:28,000
when we talk about this diversity equity

1159
00:38:32,870 --> 00:38:29,599
training and

1160
00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:32,880
basically disguised crt training of the

1161
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:33,599
teachers

1162
00:38:38,470 --> 00:38:36,720
then how do you believe that then plays

1163
00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:38,480
out in the classroom

1164
00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:41,839
and gets translated to the students

1165
00:38:44,870 --> 00:38:43,920
the way it gets translated is it's not a

1166
00:38:46,470 --> 00:38:44,880
specific course

1167
00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:46,480
right it's not like okay today we're

1168
00:38:48,630 --> 00:38:47,680
going to spend an hour and a half and

1169
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:48,640
talk about this

1170
00:38:54,390 --> 00:38:52,240
they want you to they want to brainwash

1171
00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:54,400
the teachers first so that they can

1172
00:38:58,710 --> 00:38:58,160
uh motivate you to mold your lesson

1173
00:39:02,069 --> 00:38:58,720
plans

1174
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:02,079
in a way that'll teach in a very biased

1175
00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:02,480
way

1176
00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,400
so for instance if you're a history

1177
00:39:08,069 --> 00:39:06,240
teacher you're gonna

1178
00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:08,079
you're gonna teach about 1619 you

1179
00:39:11,109 --> 00:39:10,480
remember the 1619 project that president

1180
00:39:13,870 --> 00:39:11,119
trump

1181
00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:13,880
quickly said goodbye to and enact the

1182
00:39:17,829 --> 00:39:16,000
1776 commission

1183
00:39:19,109 --> 00:39:17,839
um that's what you're going to do as a

1184
00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:19,119
history teachers you're going to teach

1185
00:39:21,990 --> 00:39:20,160
about slavery

1186
00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:22,000
and how awful it was and how we're still

1187
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:23,760
dealing with racism today

1188
00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:25,920
and white people of of today's

1189
00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:27,440
generation

1190
00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:29,440
committed crime and they should be held

1191
00:39:34,230 --> 00:39:31,280
accountable

1192
00:39:35,910 --> 00:39:34,240
as a music teacher i remember during a

1193
00:39:38,150 --> 00:39:35,920
professional development

1194
00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:38,160
uh early on before the school year

1195
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:40,240
started it was about over the summer

1196
00:39:44,630 --> 00:39:42,960
i remember some of my uh some of the

1197
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:44,640
music teachers in the district were

1198
00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:46,480
debating

1199
00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:48,000
whether we should teach the national

1200
00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:50,400
anthem or not because it is rooted in

1201
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:51,200
racism

1202
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:54,320
i i didn't know what to say i didn't say

1203
00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:56,320
anything i bit my tongue

1204
00:40:00,230 --> 00:39:58,720
but i remember them saying not all of

1205
00:40:01,910 --> 00:40:00,240
our students were born here

1206
00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:01,920
not all of them were raised here there a

1207
00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:03,440
lot of them are immigrants

1208
00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:05,359
we don't want them to feel uncomfortable

1209
00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:06,880
with having to sing the national

1210
00:40:11,190 --> 00:40:10,160
i wanted to say listen here i'm a legal

1211
00:40:12,950 --> 00:40:11,200
and a proud

1212
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:12,960
immigrant to the united states of

1213
00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:14,560
america and i

1214
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:16,640
never once questioned standing for the

1215
00:40:19,910 --> 00:40:17,920
pledge every day

1216
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:19,920
standing for the national anthem you

1217
00:40:24,309 --> 00:40:22,160
live here you're an american and you

1218
00:40:27,109 --> 00:40:24,319
will abide by the american cultures here

1219
00:40:27,990 --> 00:40:27,119
so it's so sad to hear that we're having

1220
00:40:30,309 --> 00:40:28,000
a debate

1221
00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:30,319
about teaching the national anthem yeah

1222
00:40:33,670 --> 00:40:32,000
i mean it's the thing that used to unite

1223
00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:33,680
us no matter where you came from we're

1224
00:40:37,670 --> 00:40:35,040
all americans

1225
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:37,680
but now they're dividing us based on

1226
00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:38,480
them

1227
00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:41,200
right they're taking the strength of

1228
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:42,960
america and using it to divide us

1229
00:40:46,230 --> 00:40:45,280
what about the pledge of allegiance is

1230
00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:46,240
that being said

1231
00:40:50,390 --> 00:40:49,359
in your schools so the pledge of

1232
00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:50,400
allegiance

1233
00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:53,280
uh has been altered by teachers in the

1234
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:55,200
past i remember in the beginning of the

1235
00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:56,160
school year

1236
00:40:59,910 --> 00:40:57,760
there was a substitute teacher in

1237
00:41:02,950 --> 00:40:59,920
fairfax county who

1238
00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:02,960
um had altered the pledge to remove

1239
00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:06,000
the part that says under god um

1240
00:41:11,190 --> 00:41:09,680
and so we're seeing this across the

1241
00:41:12,630 --> 00:41:11,200
country again this is not just a

1242
00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:12,640
virginia issue

1243
00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:15,599
most recently a fairfax county board

1244
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:16,480
member

1245
00:41:22,470 --> 00:41:19,520
uh abrar omish was uh

1246
00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:22,480
was speaking at a high school graduation

1247
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:24,160
here in fairfax county the high school

1248
00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:26,160
was justice high school

1249
00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:29,520
and she spoke about this i wrote this

1250
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:31,119
down so i don't get it wrong

1251
00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:33,520
she told the high schoolers to remember

1252
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:34,800
jihad

1253
00:41:41,349 --> 00:41:38,000
as they enter a world of white supremacy

1254
00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:41,359
and capitalism and the

1255
00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:44,960
pledge of allegiance was recited by

1256
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:48,160
a student of the of the high school and

1257
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:48,800
instead of

1258
00:41:57,589 --> 00:41:55,990
yep i can't i cannot make this up if

1259
00:41:58,870 --> 00:41:57,599
this is happening in the richest

1260
00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:58,880
counties

1261
00:42:02,069 --> 00:42:00,960
of the country don't be surprised if it

1262
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:02,079
comes right under under

1263
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:03,920
your nose so here's what i learned is

1264
00:42:07,750 --> 00:42:05,280
going on outside of uh

1265
00:42:09,030 --> 00:42:07,760
in a community outside of seattle where

1266
00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:09,040
my my sister's

1267
00:42:13,349 --> 00:42:12,240
kids go i i was with him and i asked him

1268
00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:13,359
do they still say the pledge of

1269
00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:15,359
allegiance and he said yeah we do

1270
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:16,960
i i think the only reason they do is

1271
00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:18,400
it's a state law that you still say the

1272
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:20,240
pledge of allegiance he said but

1273
00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:22,800
nobody stands up for it no no but nobody

1274
00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:23,440
says it

1275
00:42:26,950 --> 00:42:25,520
they they basically sit back slumped in

1276
00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:26,960

00:43:44,470 --> 00:43:41,359
but it was just like i'm like

1313
00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:44,480
hey hey that's a head scratcher this guy

1314
00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:45,760
is not even a dumber he's

1315
00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:47,520
he's a slow he's a socialist he's not in

1316
00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:49,040
the democratic party

1317
00:43:52,390 --> 00:43:51,040
what is going on with what are kids

1318
00:43:54,550 --> 00:43:52,400
learning

1319
00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:54,560
that they think i mean socialism is so

1320
00:43:58,309 --> 00:43:56,240
antithetical to what america

1321
00:44:00,630 --> 00:43:58,319
is was founded on they obviously are not

1322
00:44:02,710 --> 00:44:00,640
understanding or appreciating

1323
00:44:04,390 --> 00:44:02,720
the the the fountain founding principles

1324
00:44:07,030 --> 00:44:04,400
of america

1325
00:44:08,069 --> 00:44:07,040
no the teachers are very biased right so

1326
00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,079
when i was

1327
00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:10,640
in high school uh really not that long

1328
00:44:13,349 --> 00:44:11,760
ago

1329
00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:13,359
i don't remember my teachers being

1330
00:44:17,109 --> 00:44:14,800
biased maybe

1331
00:44:18,630 --> 00:44:17,119
i just didn't really pay attention but i

1332
00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:18,640
remember my math teachers

1333
00:44:22,390 --> 00:44:20,400
taught math there was no such thing as

1334
00:44:25,589 --> 00:44:22,400
two plus two can equal five

1335
00:44:27,829 --> 00:44:25,599
um so they just they did their jobs now

1336
00:44:29,589 --> 00:44:27,839
what we're seeing today is teachers are

1337
00:44:31,990 --> 00:44:29,599
bringing their political

1338
00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:32,000
and and religious bias into the

1339
00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:32,720
classroom

1340
00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,800
and it's getting in the way of our

1341
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:36,079
children forming their

1342
00:44:39,109 --> 00:44:38,160
own independent thought we're not

1343
00:44:43,190 --> 00:44:39,119
teaching the kids

1344
00:44:45,829 --> 00:44:43,200
how to think

1345
00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:45,839
so for a school board member to have the

1346
00:44:49,109 --> 00:44:47,119
audacity

1347
00:44:50,870 --> 00:44:49,119
to go up in front of high school

1348
00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:50,880
students at a graduation

1349
00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:53,520
and talk about jihad and allah and

1350
00:44:57,190 --> 00:44:54,880
you're entering a world of white

1351
00:44:59,270 --> 00:44:57,200
supremacy and capitalism

1352
00:45:00,630 --> 00:44:59,280
that right there screams everything

1353
00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,640
that's wrong

1354
00:45:04,150 --> 00:45:02,240
everything that we've mentioned

1355
00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:04,160
previously jim with crt

1356
00:45:08,069 --> 00:45:06,560
and and and the bias and the gender

1357
00:45:09,910 --> 00:45:08,079
gender curriculum the sex

1358
00:45:11,510 --> 00:45:09,920
ed curriculum don't get me started about

1359
00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:11,520
that we're all using

1360
00:45:16,790 --> 00:45:15,040
all this information to trickle down

1361
00:45:18,390 --> 00:45:16,800
our kids and numb them so they don't

1362
00:45:19,670 --> 00:45:18,400
have the capacity to think for

1363
00:45:22,710 --> 00:45:19,680
themselves

1364
00:45:24,490 --> 00:45:22,720
okay so it's very depressing what's

1365
00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,500
going to happen to you

1366
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:26,240
[Laughter]

1367
00:45:30,150 --> 00:45:28,319
i'll uh i'll let you know hopefully

1368
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:30,160
it'll be hopefully um

1369
00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:32,240
hopefully something good i don't know uh

1370
00:45:35,430 --> 00:45:33,839
what's been the response what's been the

1371
00:45:38,150 --> 00:45:35,440
response so far from your fellow

1372
00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:38,160
teachers to your speech and your

1373
00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:39,359
attention

1374
00:45:43,829 --> 00:45:41,760
i received a lot of positive feedback i

1375
00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:43,839
i really have jim i've received a lot of

1376
00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:45,280
positive emails

1377
00:45:49,510 --> 00:45:47,280
from teachers within the districts from

1378
00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:49,520
teachers within the states and teachers

1379
00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:52,960
across the country so i don't even want

1380
00:45:55,589 --> 00:45:54,079
to waste my time

1381
00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:55,599
and talk about the negatives because

1382
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:57,440
it's not worth it it's not worth it if

1383
00:46:00,069 --> 00:45:58,720
we talk about the negatives we're never

1384
00:46:02,069 --> 00:46:00,079
going to look forward

1385
00:46:03,670 --> 00:46:02,079
so the people that i've been able to

1386
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:03,680
impact myself

1387
00:46:08,870 --> 00:46:07,040
alone has been incalculable

1388
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,880
so i want to encourage your viewers i

1389
00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:11,040
want to encourage your listeners that

1390
00:46:14,790 --> 00:46:12,960
whatever you do yes there will be

1391
00:46:16,790 --> 00:46:14,800
pushback but how much are you willing to

1392
00:46:17,829 --> 00:46:16,800
sacrifice to save this country and to

1393
00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:17,839
save our kids

1394
00:46:21,349 --> 00:46:20,000
if i could do it right i had nothing

1395
00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:21,359
special i don't think i did anything

1396
00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:22,400
special at all

1397
00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:24,960
if i could do it and if i could inspire

1398
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:26,240
and motivate

1399
00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:28,880
children and teachers and parents to get

1400
00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:29,760
involved

1401
00:46:34,069 --> 00:46:32,640
so can you well in the these teachers

1402
00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:34,079
that you said that are afraid to speak

1403
00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:34,960
out

1404
00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:37,520
you're now the example that actually you

1405
00:46:41,910 --> 00:46:38,880
can't speak out

1406
00:46:43,430 --> 00:46:41,920
and actually there's a lot of people a

1407
00:46:45,270 --> 00:46:43,440
silent majority out there

1408
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:45,280
that that are going to come out and

1409
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:46,880
actually support you

1410
00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:50,480
um and i mean do you anticipate

1411
00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:52,880
any retaliation from whether it be the

1412
00:46:58,069 --> 00:46:54,240
unions or the schools to

1413
00:46:59,990 --> 00:46:58,079
to what you've had to say so far oh sure

1414
00:47:01,349 --> 00:47:00,000
absolutely every time a teacher speaks

1415
00:47:04,150 --> 00:47:01,359
up there's retaliation

1416
00:47:05,670 --> 00:47:04,160
we had back in march i spoken from the

1417
00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:05,680
board for the first time

1418
00:47:09,190 --> 00:47:08,319
and that video went quickly went viral

1419
00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:09,200
as well

1420
00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:12,240
after that we we started to see more and

1421
00:47:16,710 --> 00:47:14,160
more teachers speaking out and that's

1422
00:47:18,309 --> 00:47:16,720
just here in loudoun county virginia we

1423
00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:18,319
have all faced some kind of

1424
00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:21,359
threat some kind of retaliation but in

1425
00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:22,000
that

1426
00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:25,040
we have grown a much larger community

1427
00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:26,880
and that's the only thing that i care to

1428
00:47:30,549 --> 00:47:28,720
focus on is i don't care

1429
00:47:32,390 --> 00:47:30,559
what they do to me in the future i don't

1430
00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:32,400
care what they threaten me with

1431
00:47:37,030 --> 00:47:35,040
us being able to build this community of

1432
00:47:38,549 --> 00:47:37,040
people who come from the right who come

1433
00:47:40,069 --> 00:47:38,559
from the left who come from the center

1434
00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:40,079
who all share the same

1435
00:47:44,549 --> 00:47:43,520
love and and passion to to save their

1436
00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:44,559
children

1437
00:47:49,349 --> 00:47:47,520
that's all that matters to me yeah well

1438
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:49,359
hopefully one day you'll be leading the

1439
00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:52,880
teachers union i'd be honored

1440
00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:55,040
but we should just get rid of it and get

1441
00:47:57,990 --> 00:47:56,000
rid of it totally

1442
00:47:59,589 --> 00:47:58,000
well you know that's a whole other thing

1443
00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:59,599
but yes thousand percent there should

1444
00:48:04,829 --> 00:48:01,359
not be teachers unions for

1445
00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:04,839
for a whole host of reasons

1446
00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:07,920
um that yeah that that's the subject for

1447
00:48:12,150 --> 00:48:09,280
another day but

1448
00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:12,160
it it really is the root of a lot of the

1449
00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:13,680
problems in the schools and it's just

1450
00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:15,440
being highlighted i mean the teachers

1451
00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:16,960
union of california the

1452
00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:19,359
number one lobby group in the state of

1453
00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:20,400
california

1454
00:48:23,910 --> 00:48:22,960
is the teachers union's number one lobby

1455
00:48:27,430 --> 00:48:23,920
group

1456
00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:27,440
so um yeah and did you know that 90

1457
00:48:31,829 --> 00:48:30,079
i'm sorry go ahead yeah don't finish it

1458
00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:31,839
94

1459
00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:34,960
of the teachers unions political

1460
00:48:37,750 --> 00:48:36,160
spending and i'm not just talking about

1461
00:48:39,589 --> 00:48:37,760
california i'm talking about

1462
00:48:41,910 --> 00:48:39,599
teachers unions combined across the

1463
00:48:43,829 --> 00:48:41,920
country 94

1464
00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:43,839
of their political spending goes to the

1465
00:48:47,910 --> 00:48:45,280
democratic party

1466
00:48:49,190 --> 00:48:47,920
so if you're if you think that politics

1467
00:48:52,630 --> 00:48:49,200
doesn't play a role here

1468
00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:52,640
you are 100 percent wrong yeah yeah it

1469
00:48:56,150 --> 00:48:54,000
needs to be exposed

1470
00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:56,160
people are just waking up to it perhaps

1471
00:49:00,549 --> 00:48:58,160
in part because of covet but

1472
00:49:03,510 --> 00:49:00,559
most people are very asleep to it all

1473
00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:03,520
right thank you so much

1474
00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:05,760
that was thank you very much thank you

1475
00:49:09,990 --> 00:49:07,359
very much all right we're we're going to

1476
00:49:12,309 --> 00:49:10,000
keep tracking your progress i expect to

1477
00:49:13,990 --> 00:49:12,319
to see you on twitter again and blowing

1478
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:14,000
up on twitter again and

1479
00:49:17,270 --> 00:49:15,520
we'll we're going to put this on youtube

1480
00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:17,280
hopefully youtube won't take it down but

1481
00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:17,920
um

1482
00:49:22,390 --> 00:49:19,839
they took down our episode where i had a

1483
00:49:23,990 --> 00:49:22,400
university of wisconsin professor

1484
00:49:26,069 --> 00:49:24,000
saying that you should be cautious of

1485
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:26,079
the vaccine uh if you've already had

1486
00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:27,440
covet because there's been a lot of

1487
00:49:29,589 --> 00:49:28,559
adverse reactions from people who've

1488
00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:29,599
already had coveted

1489
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:32,160
you simply warning them of that and that

1490
00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:33,280
was taken down and

1491
00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:34,880
because youtube said that it goes

1492
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:36,720
against medical consensus in the world

1493
00:49:41,349 --> 00:49:38,319
health organization

1494
00:49:42,230 --> 00:49:41,359
