10
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.479
Well, hello and welcome. I'm Bill Martinez. Good to have

11
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.280
you with us, and we've got a great show for

12
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.719
you this afternoon. We're going to start off with the family.

13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.320
First actress herself, the one and only Sam Sorbo will

14
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.320
be here. Of course, Sam has been leading the charge

15
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.240
for homeschooling and education, and of course you know the

16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.719
question is are we looking at the last days of

17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.719
the Department of Education. You know, when you look at

18
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.239
all the analytics of how much money the American taxpayer

19
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.079
has been paying for our children for education and what

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.920
we've been getting, the return on investment absolutely lousy. As

21
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.120
Donald Trump said, we pay the most of any country

22
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.920
just about on the planet, and we're producing some of

23
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.799
the worst results. Is that acceptable? I mean, I got

24
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.560
to tell you, coming from a family of educators myself personally,

25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.040
I can tell you my relatives are rolling in their

26
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.799
graves and thinking about how the education system has denigrated.

27
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.200
Although even before they passed we had talked because they

28
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.159
were still active in education and saw what was going

29
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.680
on in terms of the administrative state within the education

30
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.920
itself is very administrative heavy. It's interesting how that pattern

31
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.920
has duplicated itself, not only in our government, but in

32
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:05.680
other parts of our civility and our organizations, and particularly

33
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.240
in the Department of Education. So I'm looking forward to

34
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.159
this conversation with Sam also talking about the successes of

35
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:17.680
homeschooling boy by comparison, it stands out incredibly. There's no

36
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:23.280
wonder that there's been this increasing movement of parents taking

37
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:24.960
their kids and saying, hey, look at we're going to

38
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.280
bring you out of out of the public education system.

39
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.439
We're going to bring you home. And the results are points.

40
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.080
Wait till you see these results or hear about these results.

41
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.599
It's incredible what has happened. And also, oh yeah, by

42
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.319
the way, and you didn't even need Doge to check

43
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.879
this out. But supposedly all the homeschooling effort that's taken

44
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.039
place has served the taxpayer billions of dollars because it's

45
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.000
not going, you know, to the public schools, and the

46
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.719
parents are carrying this themselves at a cost of roughly

47
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.240
about out six hundreds of one thousand dollars a year

48
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.879
per child, and they're putting the bill themselves, not we

49
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.280
the taxpayers. In part two of today's show, we've got

50
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.680
Schryl Chumley, the online opinion editor of The Washington Times,

51
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.080
author of host and host I should say a bolden blunt.

52
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.759
It's a podcast discussing the obvious lack of leadership and

53
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.319
vision of the Democratic Party. Their recent display and lack

54
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.680
of decorum at the Joint Session of Congress made it

55
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.120
clear that they are not ready for prime time or

56
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.800
to govern. Right now, let's bring on Sam Somo, the

57
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:41.280
Family First actress, writer, speaker, and homeschool mom advocate. Sam. Welcome, Michelle,

58
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:42.199
Good to have you with us.

59
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.360
Oh, I want to talk about the Democrats. That's much

60
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.439
more on an education. Well, of course, well, okay, we

61
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:49.759
can chew on that for a little bit.

62
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.560
Just to get warmed up. I mean, you know, they've

63
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.120
been guest lighting us to no end, and of course,

64
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.800
you know, we saw what happened during Trump's speech. I mean,

65
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.599
they really embarrassed themselves, didn't they.

66
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:01.039
Yeah.

67
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.759
I mean they really clearly have nothing to offer the

68
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.000
American people. And I think that's the main takeaway is

69
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.080
those people don't represent any kind of humanity. Frankly, they

70
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.840
wouldn't stand up for a twelve year old cancer survivor, who,

71
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.759
by the way, checks a DEI box, Like, come on,

72
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.600
they really embarrassed themselves. And the shaking of the cane

73
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.040
it was so I mean, even Bill Maher had to

74
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.800
make fun of that. That's Grandpa shaking his cane. And

75
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.319
these new these these oh, these kids, if it weren't

76
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.600
for these kids, you know, meddling kids whatever. I mean,

77
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.360
it's so ridiculous. They are a parody of themselves, and

78
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.480
there seems to be nothing that they can do about it.

79
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.199
I'm very excited for the future of the nation as

80
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.439
long as they stay in the wilderness. You know, I

81
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.000
get nervous sometimes, Sam, to be honest with you, because

82
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.439
even Charlie Kirk was meeting with Gavin Newsome, I don't

83
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.279
know if you saw that interview or not. And and

84
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.240
Charlie's given him some really awesome advice, and I'm thinking

85
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.639
you don't want to share that with him. Just leave

86
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.279
them alone, maybe because I mean Newsom's trying. I mean,

87
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.040
he cracks me up.

88
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.959
He does this little tight little thing hug, you know,

89
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.519
swivel deal with himself. I don't know what he's telling

90
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.319
me here. I'm sure the body language experts are you know,

91
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.120
they can do a field day on that. But anyway,

92
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.680
I'm and maybe for Newsome, certainly a lot of the Democrats,

93
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.920
it's the wrong gospel, wrong church. They don't want to

94
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.519
hear this. And they're out in the wilderness because that's

95
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:31.800
where they've put themselves.

96
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.279
Yeah, i mean, remember his name begins with noose. And

97
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.800
I think Charlie was just giving him extra rope. So

98
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.720
I think it'll I think it'll all work out, okay.

99
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.399
They You know, it's interesting because he did walk back

100
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.040
his stance on trans which of course is absurd. He

101
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.600
was so he was so laying into the whole trans stuff,

102
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.120
and so it's they literally they are shooting themselves in

103
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.480
the foot because they really can't take a stand because

104
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.920
it will contradict everything that came before, and in fact,

105
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.160
that's what they're doing now. I just saw a mashup

106
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.879
of Adam Schiff once a as a congressman and now

107
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.199
as a Senator, and it's two different people. It's it's

108
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.279
somebody talking out of both sides of their mouth. And

109
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.000
so I am optimistic, I'm cautiously optimistic. But let's talk

110
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.360
about the Department of Education, because that really is my

111
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:21.920
Bailey Wick.

112
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.519
Well, okay, so we've been saying this for a long time.

113
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.959
The Department of Education needed to go. Jimmy Carter did

114
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.160
his No Favors. You know, I think maybe it started

115
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.839
out as a viable idea, but unfortunately, like everything that

116
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.839
gets in the government, gets politicized and it loses its

117
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.879
sense of mission. And here we are for decades down

118
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.839
the road, and look what it's producing.

119
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.920
Sam, Yeah, well it is child abuse. Now, schools are

120
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.639
child abuse. And I'm sorry for the teachers that are

121
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:55.120
stuck in this very perverted, distorted system that we call

122
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.480
our school system. But honestly, what I just saw a

123
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.000
video today of a young woman, a young girl who

124
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.360
at the age of twelve, was given a book by

125
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.839
her librarian in school. It was a recommended book and

126
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.759
it had pornography in it. And I'm not talking pictures,

127
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.160
I'm talking words. And she was an avid reader, and

128
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.920
it sucked her into the world of pornography. It changed

129
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:22.399
her personality. It became an addiction for her. It changed

130
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.560
her relationship with her parents, her relationship with her friends.

131
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.360
She eventually got to the point where she realized she

132
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.399
didn't need friends, she could just be with her books

133
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.040
looking for that next sort of dopamine hit. And she

134
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.639
finally snapped herself out of it. I think somebody noticed

135
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.360
it and started talking to her about it, and she's

136
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.600
now realized that this is a very dangerous thing. And

137
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.560
this is in our schools. So I'm not sure how

138
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.279
we will be able to eradicate them unless we take

139
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.639
a fully like amish approach, like no books that have

140
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.680
been published after nineteen fifty available in the schools, or

141
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.480
you know, some thing that's like so drastic. I doubt

142
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.879
very much that we'll be able to put it down

143
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.759
anybody's throat, although that might be a possibility. But here's

144
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.360
the real problem. And I heard Marissa Strike say this,

145
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.000
so I'm paraphrasing what she believes because I've embraced it.

146
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.279
You cannot teach academics devoid of character. You must teach character.

147
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.319
And our schools have trained us to believe that you

148
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.600
can school somebody without teaching them character, and we are

149
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.440
seeing the results of that. You cannot do that, and

150
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.200
now they are invested in teaching character, teaching these kids

151
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.759
trans ideology, DEI see our critical race theory, all of

152
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.799
these things that have nothing to do with academics, but

153
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.600
very much to do with the development of a character,

154
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.240
of a value system in the child, a worldview. Let's say, oh,

155
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.080
maybe we could call that a religion, right, teaching that

156
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.000
in the schools, but it's the wrong doc trend for

157
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.919
our children to then value academics. And so the academics

158
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.919
are failing. We are fortieth in the world, which is

159
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.799
like there are only forty on the list, so we're last.

160
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.159
So they're pursuing an America Last policy from straight down

161
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.559
from the Department of Education, and American people are waking up,

162
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.240
which is the exciting part. But unfortunately they've damaged all

163
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.559
of these children. And I want to talk to you

164
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.559
briefly about the damage to children, because I'm working on

165
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.519
an op ED right now about the decimation of the

166
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.960
family that has been wrought by our schools.

167
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.039
And so what.

168
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.960
Happened was we convinced families, hey, school is the best

169
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.240
place for your child, and the school eventually replaced the parenting.

170
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:52.159
And now we're a largely unparented society because they broke

171
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.679
those bonds by sending the child away from the family

172
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.279
for seven or eight, now even more hours a day.

173
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.679
Children are not learning how to form reasonable bonds and

174
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.440
relationships with their family, which is the seat of the

175
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:13.200
relationship growth, right, And so now we have a whole

176
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:17.720
generation plus of individuals who can't have relationship, which leads

177
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.840
to divorce. So there and you know, obviously divorces off

178
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.720
the charts, but marriage is dwindling. We've got all of

179
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.080
these different factors that are feeding into the decimation of

180
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.519
the family. Well, guess what. The family is the backbone

181
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.399
of our society exactly. So we wave goodbye to the

182
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.519
family at our own peril. And that's my struggle is

183
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.440
when we wave goodbye to the family, we are now

184
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.440
generating even more children that can be abused by the system,

185
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.759
that are victims and will be victimized because they don't

186
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.639
have the family backbone. They don't have the relationships even

187
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.759
to be able to withstand what's happening in our schools.

188
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.279
So to parents out there, take your kids out of school.

189
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.759
Take them out today, Do not dally take them out.

190
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.279
If you do nothing for them, they will be better

191
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.600
off than if they went back to school tomorrow.

192
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.639
Well, like you, Sam, I want the best for our kids,

193
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:19.440
and you touched on this, but it's really key. And

194
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.759
this is something that we've been talking a lot about

195
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.120
in our show and our daily show, and that is

196
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.720
that we have to return to first principles. Let's go

197
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.120
back to you know, Trump says America first. I say,

198
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.960
seventeen seventy six, America first. When you look like you're

199
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.759
talking about, you know, the culture and the wisdom of

200
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.080
that era, where did it come from? You know, we're

201
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.320
told that wisdom comes from God. We've turned our back

202
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.399
on God and everything has imploded on us to the

203
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.600
point of where we are right now. I mean, you

204
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.679
talk about this young girl in pornography. I was just

205
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.320
reading a George Barnet report here the other day and

206
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.960
this is really shocking to me. Up until I guess

207
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.879
maybe several year years ago. You know, people always thought

208
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.200
about pornography and men like they went together, you know,

209
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.879
handing glove. But they only recently they're looking at the

210
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.240
impact that it has had on women, and it's actually

211
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.600
been growing from thirty three percent the last reading according

212
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.480
to Barne is over forty percent of women are involved

213
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.240
in pornography today and over a third of the people

214
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.559
that go to church on Sunday are involved in pornography.

215
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:30.480
So we have corruption within the camp. And if we

216
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.399
get back to first principles and go back to where

217
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.879
we started, which was with you know, Judeo Christian principles,

218
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.279
then I can believe we can start to really mix them,

219
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.240
you know, headway into this. Otherwise, if we just try

220
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.240
and do it in and of ourselves, good luck. I

221
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.960
don't think that it can it's sustainable. We need to

222
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.399
get back and anchor our selves and those things that

223
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.200
are so basic to our humanity and our identity which

224
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.279
comes from God and not from some president or a

225
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:04.200
political party.

226
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.600
Well, of course, you know, if you're talking about the

227
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.200
God's influence in this country, yes, certainly God influenced the

228
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.799
founding of this country. It was through God's providence that

229
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.799
the country even survived the revolutionary war, And if you

230
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.519
read any first any original documents, you will see that

231
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:25.519
to a man, they credited God with every miracle that

232
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:29.799
befell them in their favor. But then we most recently

233
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.919
had the miracle of Donald Trump surviving an assassin's bullet

234
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.679
by turning his head just a micro you know, a

235
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.720
micro bit away from the bullet and it whizzing through

236
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:45.320
his ear. You know, this kind of thing is we

237
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.960
shouldn't take it lightly. We should look at it and

238
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.679
really pursue it. And when you talk about getting back

239
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.639
to first principles, in other words, getting back to seventeen

240
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:58.279
seventy six and the principles upon which this nation was founded,

241
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.039
I love that you bring that up, because who were we.

242
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:04.919
We were a bunch of ragtag individuals who were self educated.

243
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.600
We were all self taught. None of our founders went

244
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.960
to school. They might have attended college, okay, but college

245
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.679
was from the age of thirteen, and so before that

246
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.200
they didn't have schools. We didn't have schools in the nation.

247
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:25.000
And these men devised the floor plan for the greatest

248
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.360
nation on earth, the schematics of a government that is

249
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.799
of the people, by the people, for the people, that

250
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.120
has never before been seen and at this point I

251
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.720
doubt will ever be seen again, because we unfortunately are

252
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.039
in decline right now. And the reason that we are

253
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.480
in decline is because we have allowed the government to

254
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.320
teach us. We have trusted the government to teach its

255
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.919
citizens that they maintain the power, and we don't know

256
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.320
that anymore. And that's why, for instance, school choice, this

257
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.919
is this new sort of new fan this is what's

258
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:04.320
going to solve all of our school problems. We're going

259
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.159
to have the money follow the child. A lot of

260
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.559
people like to like to say, so it's the government

261
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.159
funds that go to the parents for the education of

262
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.799
their children. Okay, two things. We already have school choice,

263
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.399
and it's not that. So you have the ability, whoever

264
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.519
you are, to choose the school that your child attends.

265
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.039
It's on you.

266
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.840
Okay, so we have that already, But now they're calling

267
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:32.639
this thing school choice. This is government funded schooling, which

268
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.559
we have already, but it's directed by the parents and

269
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:41.919
it's overseen by some new government agency new for every state.

270
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.960
Let's say, every state has their own. So some of

271
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.720
the money gets siphoned off from the top because it

272
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.000
goes through the federal government. Some of the money gets

273
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.480
siphoned off by the state and then the rest of

274
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.639
the money goes to the parents. And I will tell

275
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.279
you that I know parents who have used the money

276
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:58.879
to buy flat screen TVs and that's not the idea

277
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.720
behind it. So people actually understand what we're talking about

278
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.000
with the money follows the child, right, then they would

279
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.240
they would get their hackles up a little bit because

280
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.039
that's not what this is. Right now, we're going through

281
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.799
a period where DOGE, the Department of Governmental Efficiency, is

282
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.279
discovering all of this mishandling of funds. Why do you

283
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.759
think that the government just distributing money to citizens is

284
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.679
going to solve the academic crisis that we have for

285
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.240
our students. It's absurd. But because we all went to school,

286
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.600
we weren't taught discernment. We weren't taught to like look

287
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.240
behind the peak behind the curtain and see the wizard

288
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.440
behind the curtain pulling all the levers. It's it's absurd.

289
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.600
It's like saying food stamps will make people healthier. Uh,

290
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.519
check again, check again. Right, this is this is food

291
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.440
stamps for schooling and it's not going to work. And unfortunately,

292
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.480
what it will do is it will governmentalize every private

293
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.559
school and you will no longer have your private schools.

294
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.759
So you private schools out there, I'm putting you on

295
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:07.160
a warning because you love this money, you want this money,

296
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.000
but you better understand you take it at your own

297
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.640
peril because they will put you out of business. They

298
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:16.240
have no desire to see you succeed. Instead of a

299
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:20.680
government run school, they will governmentalize your school and make

300
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.720
it a government school.

301
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.799
Well, it's kind of like the success of Hillsdale College, right,

302
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.160
Hillsdale College refuse government money and look look at why

303
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:29.799
you know, all.

304
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.240
The other colleges exactly, other colleges in this nation are

305
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.359
an example of school choice.

306
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.799
Yes, right, well.

307
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:40.079
You're saying I don't even know if my child should

308
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.720
go to college because right, yeah, well.

309
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.200
Yeah, what are they getting? And even you know, the

310
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.400
thing is is that here we are on this technological

311
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.640
you know, bubble getting ready to explode, I mean, which

312
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.680
is going to be great AI and all the advancement

313
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.640
that's going on that's on the horizon, and our kids

314
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.319
are ill prepared for it right now. But thank god

315
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.599
for Donald Trump was at least focusing on it. You know.

316
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.680
No, it's true the school by the way, like, can

317
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.680
we call them factory schools? I mean, seriously, there's no

318
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.359
outdated at this point. And they're preparing children for jobs,

319
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.960
which so I have my own problem with that because

320
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.359
I think that it's child abuse to tell a child

321
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:22.759
that his only value is how much money he can earn.

322
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.599
But set that aside. That's what they're telling children, college prep,

323
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.640
career readiness, that's all about the money. But what they're

324
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.319
doing is they're preparing children for jobs that don't exist,

325
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.400
that won't exist anymore. And so while they're putting a

326
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.039
cap on the child's learning, because that's what schools do.

327
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:45.160
They discourage learning, they discourage the love of learning. They

328
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.119
turn out and people who are listening, no, when you left.

329
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.559
Basically most people when they left school hated the whole

330
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.359
idea of learning and education and leave me alone. I

331
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.519
don't like it. And that's what they're doing to children today.

332
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.319
But they're doing obviously much worse because it's become so

333
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.440
much more abusive with the pornography and the rest of

334
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.119
the stuff that's happening in our schools.

335
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:06.519
And so.

336
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.759
What are we really about now We're trying to prepare

337
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.799
children for jobs that won't exist, and we're not even

338
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.200
doing a good job of that. We say that we're

339
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.079
all about the academics. Clearly that's a lie because we're

340
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.440
not accomplishing academics. And so why are we still Why

341
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.799
are we still on this tread on this treadmill? And

342
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.400
the reason is because Bill, you and I went to

343
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.599
school and we were taught that school is good. That's

344
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.720
what we were taught. In fact, by the way, if

345
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.079
you want any information, it's all in my book. I

346
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.720
should I just have to throw this up.

347
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:40.440
There, Yes, please do that. Yes, it's the.

348
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.519
Parent's Guide to homeschool. And so I go through all

349
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.079
of these sort of points about what's wrong with our

350
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.119
schools as a way of empowering parents to understand. You parents,

351
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.200
you're enough. You're teaching your child to be an adult.

352
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.400
Is enough? Literally, it's enough. They need to know how

353
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:00.920
to read, how to write, how to do some math,

354
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.079
and then basically how to be a human being. And

355
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.240
you've got that in space. You're a human being.

356
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.799
Look at that exactly. It's life experience. I mean, look

357
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.000
what's happening. Like you say, the homeschooling parents today, they're

358
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.920
not all PhDs. I mean, they run the spectrum. You

359
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.319
know of people who are absolutely valid educated, some having

360
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.559
graduated from high school, I mean successful, entire list, right, right,

361
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.880
and there's hope in growing about six to eight percent

362
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.799
every year.

363
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:31.000
That's right. And you don't have to know all you

364
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.079
have to Here's the thing, and I try to simplify

365
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:35.640
it for people because it's terribly daunting thinking that you're

366
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.039
somehow going to replace that red brick institutional building.

367
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.359
Right.

368
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.640
But the fact is this, if you can give your

369
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.759
child a love of learning and show them how to

370
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.119
learn exactly, that's really what it's all about. And so

371
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.240
if you don't know, you're actually in a better position

372
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.119
because as long as you're willing to show them how

373
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.519
to learn it, which you can do, then you will

374
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.720
put them on the path to success. And then they

375
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:04.079
will be empowered. Your children to learn anything that they need.

376
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.920
At any point, they can go after any job they

377
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.720
want because they will know how to study up and

378
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.480
learn it before they get to the job.

379
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:16.119
Interview, Well, the critical learning skills are so much more advanced, Sam,

380
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.519
I mean because you're in an environment that is about education,

381
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.880
not in doctrination.

382
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.599
Like you said, Yeah, well, it's just much less onerous, right,

383
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.799
the school. And this again, this is all in my book,

384
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.920
the lies that the schools teach are children, that learning

385
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.160
is hard, that teaching is hard, and that teacher has

386
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.359
all of the information. The teacher has. Teachers have very

387
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.559
limited information. They know classroom management, that's the one thing

388
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:46.480
that they excel in. But basically, the teacher, for the

389
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.680
most part, unless they've been teaching for a very long time,

390
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.559
has read the lesson plan the day before, and they

391
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.440
come in and they impart the lesson plan and then

392
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.000
you learn it, and somehow you think that, oh, teacher

393
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.680
knows everything and I can trust the teacher. Let's face

394
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:05.119
it went through a whole time period of trust the experts.

395
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:07.720
How did that work out for us? Not very well.

396
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.559
But we did it because we were trained in school

397
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:13.000
to trust the experts. And I'm telling you that that

398
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.160
is faulty training. They've been doing this for decades. This

399
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.039
isn't new. This is just the latest iteration of a

400
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.400
flawed paradigm. And so there, the more parents that I

401
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.960
can empower to take your kids out of school, the

402
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.400
better off you will be. And of course the better

403
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:34.119
I'll feel, because that's my whole paradigm. And I can't

404
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:35.720
tell you the number of parents who have come up

405
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:38.200
to me having heard me speak three years ago, four

406
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.160
years ago, whatever, and say, you know, I heard you speak,

407
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.240
and we took our daughter out the very next day,

408
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.480
and it's just been the greatest blessing on our family.

409
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.200
Or you know, you told my husband to take both

410
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.160
our boys out. We were only going to take one out,

411
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.000
but he decided to listen to you. He felt that

412
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.680
it was right, and it's been the greatest thing for

413
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.319
our family and for the boys. They're just thriving and

414
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.960
they're so smart. And so that's that's the nugget that

415
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:05.359
people have a really hard time cracking, because they still

416
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.480
believe in school. And the reason they believe in school

417
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.440
is because they've been indoctrinated right through twelve thirteen years

418
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:16.119
of believe in school. We are the greatest, We're the best.

419
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.400
You know.

420
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:19.039
Yeah, but look at the numbers of homeschool and kids.

421
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.400
How much better they perform than kids in public education? Sam,

422
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.880
I mean, forty.

423
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.880
Five percent better on the standardized tests.

424
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.039
Unbelievable. I shouldn't be unbelievable. But for some people, again

425
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.400
caught up in the tradition of the white coats, you know,

426
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:39.559
and the professionals telling us what we're supposed to believe

427
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:43.359
and what we're supposed to know. But the thing, sadly too,

428
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:46.160
with education has become more of a top down situation.

429
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:52.079
These there are some great teachers, but unfortunately they're hamstrung

430
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.559
because the administration state of public Education says you will

431
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.519
teach this, and they don't have the flexible ability to

432
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.759
be able to say, hey, look at the classes moving

433
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.839
in this direction. They really need to learn this particular

434
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:09.400
element before something. No, you've got to stay with the plan.

435
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:11.400
If not, then you get marked down.

436
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:13.240
Well, not only that, you have to stay with the

437
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:17.240
slowest student. So your exceptional learners forget about it. They're

438
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:21.480
disenfranchised right away. I was recently speaking to a group

439
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.880
and a woman came up to me afterwards, and she

440
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.119
had tears in her eyes because she is a public

441
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.759
school teacher, she's a Christian, she is ministering to the

442
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.680
kids in her care, and she also recognizes that everything

443
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.359
I say is true, and so she's very conflicted because

444
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.839
she knows that she's doing a ministry for those kids,

445
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.400
but she also understands how harmed they will be by

446
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:45.039
this system at the end.

447
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.279
Of it.

448
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.200
It's a meat grinder. It's really terrible, and I don't

449
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.440
wish it for anybody's children. I can't save all the kids,

450
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.440
but if I can encourage parents to or empower them

451
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.400
at least to take their kids out of school and

452
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:02.319
at least give it a truck, I think that I

453
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.359
know that what they will see on the flip side

454
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.039
is the difference between black and white and technicolor. We

455
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.559
think that we're setting ourselves up for some sort of terrible,

456
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.680
tremendous lift, that it's very difficult, that homeschooling is the

457
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:20.880
hardest thing ever. And I've actually long said if homeschooling

458
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.960
is hard, you're doing it wrong. Parenting is hard, Parenting

459
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.440
can be challenging.

460
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.680
No doubt.

461
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:28.400
Homeschooling no, no, no, no, no, Then you're doing it wrong because

462
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:30.960
it should be pretty easy. Kids love to learn, and

463
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.720
they only start to hate learning when they.

464
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.400
Go to school. As we wrap things up here, Department

465
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.960
of Education, Trump said, let's dismantle it. What do you see?

466
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.160
You know the next step. I know we've kind of,

467
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.720
you know, hit all this, But in terms of best

468
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:49.680
case scenario, what could you hope for that would happen

469
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.119
that Linda McMahon and our government would do on behalf

470
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.960
of the kids.

471
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.680
Well, I think she believes at least that she needs

472
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.599
a majority two thirds in the Senate, which is sixty something,

473
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:05.160
and she won't have it right, And so I think

474
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.880
she thinks that she needs sixty but I'm not sure,

475
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.359
Like whatever that definition is, it's over. It's it's more

476
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.559
than fifty nine, and she doesn't have fifty nine if

477
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.480
the Democrats all go one way. So so for her

478
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.200
to actually shut it down is there's a lot of

479
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.039
water that has to pass under that bridge. It's not

480
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.920
going to be a fast moving current. I think it's

481
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.920
going to be a slow boat, which is unfortunate. But

482
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.599
there's there are a lot of misconceptions out there, like

483
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:35.839
what about student loans, Well, student loans go through a

484
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:38.000
completely different department.

485
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.880
Or a trillion of student loans exactly.

486
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.960
Yeah, but the Department of Education itself is it's over

487
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.359
a trillion dollars a year. And I just want to

488
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:50.400
read you the mission Statement because I brought it up

489
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:55.200
to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by

490
00:26:55.240 --> 00:27:00.359
fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. So they get

491
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.160
an a for alliteration, because there's a lot of ease

492
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.039
that they used at the beginning of their words. But

493
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.559
other than that, they're not hitting their mission target. So

494
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:11.960
I don't know what they think they're doing, and I

495
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.720
don't even know. I mean, I think that they would

496
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.640
be hard put to define how they would achieve the

497
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.000
screen achievement and the preparation. And by the way, like

498
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.000
that's the problem with all of these sort of quick

499
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.039
fixes is somehow giving parents money will improve student outcomes.

500
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.079
That's not how it works. And you know, as educators.

501
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:34.680
They ought to know that exactly.

502
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.359
Linda's got Linda McMahon, who's been confirmed this past week,

503
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.079
has she has a lot of work on her plate,

504
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.000
and she's got a lot of convincing to do and

505
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.559
education of people if she wants to get the votes,

506
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.519
and I'm pretty sure she believes that she needs the

507
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:54.319
votes in order to actually shut it down. The things

508
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:56.599
that she might be able to do are just sort

509
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.759
of curtail some of the programs that go through the

510
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.839
arment of education. But my concern is that they're not

511
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.839
actually going to save the money. They're actually going to

512
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.680
disperse it to different avenues and sort of. You know,

513
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.599
it's the great shell game of the government funding. So

514
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:16.079
you know, and we have yet to see Doge has

515
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.599
saved all of this money, but we have yet to

516
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.119
see where those savings are going to be applied. I

517
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.319
think they've said that they're going to apply them to

518
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.000
the debt and pay off some of the debt, which

519
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.039
would be a step in the right direction exactly, and

520
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:32.519
then moving forward, of course, there would be savings year

521
00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.960
upon year of those things, so we'll see.

522
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:37.400
Well. Of course they teased us a little bit with

523
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:39.559
a dividend, possibly as well as them.

524
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.720
So which I think is, let's cut taxes. Let's do that.

525
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.119
But you know, so if that money is going to

526
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.839
go pay off the debt, then how about cutting taxes

527
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:53.519
also buy that amount exactly moving forward so that they

528
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:58.160
don't get their hands on that money at least maybe

529
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.000
okay maybe Anyway, I'm just saying like they've got a

530
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.759
lot of work, and it's a Gordian k Nott and

531
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:09.759
so I don't, look, I don't I don't disparage her efforts.

532
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.079
Certainly there haven't been very many yet, so I'm I'm

533
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:16.200
rooting for her. I'm rooting for her.

534
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.319
Ye, work. I'm with you on that, Sam, we got

535
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:20.960
to leave it there. Thank you as always, Sam Sorbo

536

husband unit.

541

542
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.200
up the book. It's right there. Also, we have some

543
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:45.839
great events coming up. We're traveling to Greece with a

544
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.920
very small group, and I think we still have two

545
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.519
seats left, so feel free to reach out for that.

546
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:52.480
Go to the events page and look at that stuff

547
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.480
and we'll see you.

548
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.079
Thanks Bill, Good to Sam, as always appreciate it. Take

549
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.519
care all right. You got a Sam Sorbo our guest

550
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:03.920
with us coming up next from The Washington Times is

551
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:09.200
the online opinion editor Cheryl Chumley joins us. Now, Cheryl,

552
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.880
welcome to the show. Good to have you with us.

553
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.960
Hi, it's great to be with you. Thanks well, welcoming.

554
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:17.599
I always love having this time together. A lot going on.

555
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.319
This is the time of year where March Madness takes

556
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:27.319
place and basketball, you know, raises some excitement, but there's

557
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:31.960
lots of march madness on college campuses, like what we're

558
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.000
seeing at Columbia.

559
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.119
Yeah. And you know what the difference now though, is

560
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.240
compared to last time when Joe Biden was in the administration,

561
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.240
right when he was president, is that we actually are

562
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.200
seeing some action from this White House, from the Trump

563
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:51.799
White House. People are being arrested and they're being on masks,

564
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:54.839
so we get to see the faces of those protesters

565
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:59.640
who go to great lengths to conceal their identities. And

566
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.640
you know, the latest is the Palestinian pro Palestinian really

567
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.680
pro terror group leader on Columbia campus was just arrested,

568
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.319
possibly going to lose his green card and so forth.

569
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:14.680
And this is great, We're seeing some action here.

570
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.680
We have. The thing that's amazing, Cheryl is like, you know,

571
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.440
the the American people are going, why didn't we do

572
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.720
this earlier? Why have we put up with this? Why

573
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:28.519
have the presidents of these university universities have tolerated this

574
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:31.559
kind of outrage that has compromised I mean, you've got

575
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:35.000
these kids and families paying a boatload of money for

576
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:39.000
their education and it's all being interfered with by these

577
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.079
territ pro terrorist groups.

578
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:46.319
Yeah. I think those in America of sane mind, right,

579
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:50.359
who aren't the anti Semites, knew that when these protests

580
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.279
started first breaking out on college campus that it would

581
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.680
be very easy to clear them. Right. All you had

582
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.079
to do is imagine if these were protests wearing Maga

583
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:05.039
hats pro Trump hats, and they were inciting riots and

584
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.839
so forth, Watch how quickly the Joe Biden administration and

585
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:12.680
the college administrators would have banded together to shut down

586
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:18.960
those those protests. But because the political will was missing,

587
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:21.920
that's why those protests were allowed to go forth for

588
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.799
so long. And now you know, the situation's change. We

589
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.920
have an administration in the White House that isn't going

590
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:32.440
to shy from taking punitive measures against campuses that allow

591
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:38.400
this blatant anti Jew, pro terror group demonstrations to go forth.

592
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:41.759
Well, it just seems a matter of common sense. And

593
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.119
I'm encouraged because I see this common sense not only

594
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:51.119
spreading at other campuses and universities, but around the world

595
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:55.039
where you know, and this is what leadership does. Leadership

596
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:56.920
can be contagious, can't it.

597
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.680
Yeah, And you know, it's a funny thing about readership. Right.

598
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:05.359
You don't have to have everything figured out in order

599
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:06.880
to enact great change.

600
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.160
Right.

601
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.920
All you have to do is be firm insteadfast and

602
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:15.480
determined in your messaging. And then watch all the nefarious

603
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.160
forces fall, watch all the evil as they fly back

604
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.759
into their dark corners. And so this administration is basically

605
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.519
put out the message that they're not going to going

606
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.559
to put up with anti Semitic displays, and they've backed

607
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.599
it with a little teeth, and so watch this year

608
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.200
is going to be very, very different on college campuses

609
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.799
compared to last year. It's the same type of narrative

610
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:42.400
that have really overnight shut down our borders, sent a

611
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.559
strong message. You know, nothing's really changed. We don't have

612
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.920
more money going into the border, we don't have more

613
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.640
agents hired. It's just the narrative. And it's been a

614
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:52.960
complete one eighty.

615
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.400
Well and it's been amazing what this president has done

616
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.559
in what fifty to fifty one days. It is just spectacular.

617
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.720
Half of the American people shutting the border overnight. And

618
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:05.559
then you look at those old tapes that Joe Biden says, oh,

619
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.280
you know it's broken. It's going to take a lot

620
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.519
of money and all this other stuff and it took

621
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.679
how many executive orders and look at the numbers. I

622
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.360
mean dramatic, I mean night and day difference.

623
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.679
Yeah, it's not like all of a sudden we've hired,

624
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.960
you know, five hundred thousand more border agents and that's

625
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.199
made the difference. The big difference is the political will exactly.

626
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:31.480
You know this White House really, Donald Trump has surrounded

627
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:35.559
himself with some really great people this time around, and

628
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.639
they've all come equipped to hit the ground running, which

629
00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:41.800
we've seen. You know, none of them are sitting in

630
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.519
their offices and we're sitting here as American citizens wondering

631
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.719
what they're doing. They're all out and about and we

632
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:52.039
see the actions that each of the cabinet secretaries are

633
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.760
taking and it's having a tremendous difference on America.

634
00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.440
Well, it's kind of hard to not keep up with

635
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.199
your boss who lives on what three four hours of

636
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:04.800
sleep at night and you know he's he's sending out

637
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.039
a tweet at three o'clock in the morning. So whatever

638
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.000
sleep you're able to get, you better check your you

639
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:15.280
better check your ex account or your your truth social

640
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.440
account to find out, Okay, what what are my orders

641
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:19.400
for the day, right.

642
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.760
Yeah, it's kind of like, you know, America, the sleeping

643
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:29.719
giant has been awoken exactly right. We went from dead administration,

644
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.840
dragging around Joe Biden, watching him fall, call out dead people,

645
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.119
struggle to put his coat on, struggle to walk through

646
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.559
the beach sands, to a president who is just kicking it.

647
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.840
Like you said, in fifty one days, he's probably done

648
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:48.320
more than Joe Biden and Barack Obama did in their

649
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:49.719
twelve years combined.

650
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.400
So well, Joe Biden's still trying to figure out what

651
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.960
five things he did yesterday was past week.

652
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.039
Well, it's interesting the headlines you raised an interesting point

653
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:01.440
because you know that's part humorous, but now we're seeing

654
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:06.079
that his auto auto signature has been used. Yes, yeah,

655
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.039
so it's going to be very interesting as the days

656
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:11.400
go by when we start to get revelations about what

657
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.000
did Joe Biden actually sign on to and what was

658
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:15.679
being done behind scenes.

659
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:18.719
Well, the question remains who was actually president of the

660
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.559
United States. And it was shocking. I mean, you look

661
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:24.760
at the auto pen signature that was there, and the

662
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.239
only real signature that they could discern was the one

663
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.000
that made the announcement that he was not going to

664
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:35.960
run which was which was sited in Delaware, right, so

665
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:37.960
I guess the autopen wasn't available there.

666
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:42.280
Yeah, And you know it's humorous, right, but we really

667
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:44.840
have to look look past the humor and see the

668
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:48.239
deeper message there that for four years, it's as we

669
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:52.440
suspected that the White House under Joe Biden was basically

670
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.800
he was a puppet president and there was a shadow

671
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:01.079
government that was actively pushing agendas that were contra American

672
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:02.519
citizens interests.

673
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:04.840
And look what it costs. I mean it's not only

674
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.719
Joe Biden, It's a Democratic Party. This is why they're

675
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:11.840
in the wilderness and they should be and somebody at

676
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:16.719
some point, Pam Bondi Cash Mattel, the Justice Department needs

677
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:19.000
to come after because of the damage that they have

678
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:21.400
done to this country. I mean, part of the challenge

679
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.599
that Donald Trump has is coming in. He doesn't come

680
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:28.639
in with this nice trans peaceful transition, you know, from

681
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.440
one administration to the next. I mean, he's got a

682
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.079
mess of messes to clean up. And then on top

683
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:36.039
of that, we find out that Joe Biden on his

684
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:40.960
way out was disseminating almost a trillion dollars of assets

685
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.039
to his cronies.

686
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.440
Yeah, you know, Donald Trump does have a mess to

687
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:48.559
clean up, and he's doing a tremendous job though addressing

688
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:52.039
much of that. The big sticking point for this administration

689
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:56.480
I think is the court system, right, Yeah, so there

690
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:59.719
needs to be some address, maybe a couple judges in

691
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:03.159
pace each or something along those lines that make clear

692
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.559
to the judicial system that, you know, it's time to

693
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:13.840
stop overreaching and basically exerting will over an entire country.

694
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.800
But as far as fighting back and pushing back on

695
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:20.280
all the other agendas, you know, the Doze project alone

696
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.960
is just really revealing to American citizens so much of

697
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.679
the waste that we knew had been going forth, but

698
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:29.920
we just didn't know to what extent and in all

699
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:33.360
the different areas. And so that alone will do a

700
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:35.119
lot to cleaning up some of the corruption.

701
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:41.599
Well, what happens when the truth comes out? Everybody everybody's indictable.

702
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:45.000
It's not just government because what you've got, you know,

703
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.119
like they revealed in the Social Security checks, I've got

704
00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:50.280
a person three hundred and sixty years old getting a

705
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.840
check supposedly come on, you know, and how many people

706
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:57.559
over one hundred, you know, millions of people over one hundred.

707
00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:59.920
I mean, we're setting a record, you know, like Donald's

708
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:03.920
kind of kid RFK Jr. You know, during the joint

709
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.960
species is man. You know, we've already done a great job.

710
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.519
We got healthier people than we realize here in America,

711
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:11.800
you know, living so long, right, And.

712
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.920
I want to go back to what you said a

713
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.679
minute ago about Democrats being in the wilderness, because that

714
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:20.480
ties into what you were just saying that. You know,

715
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.960
it seems to me that this would be an easy

716
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.400
opportunity for Democrats to make to sort of unify over

717
00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:30.679
a core principle that tax dollars should not be going

718
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:37.599
toward you know, corruption and toward wasteful things, both domestically

719
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.119
and foreign in foreign nations. But Democrats, they are so

720
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:45.760
far gone, they are so anti Trump that they can't

721
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.760
even get behind policies that really just root out waste

722
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:54.440
of tax dollars and rain those in. And it's it's

723
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.400
a little bit astonishing to see to what extents the

724
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:00.639
Democrats will go to resist this administration.

725
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:04.519
Well, you have these eighty twenty propositions that are out

726
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.760
there that they're on the losing side time and again,

727
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:13.199
whether it's you know, men and women's sports. How they

728
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:17.159
you know, they demonstrated themselves during the joint session. They

729
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:19.880
couldn't even stand up for a young boy that had

730
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.199
brain surgery, a girl who got hit in the head

731
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.599
by a transathlete that will suffer for the rest of

732
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:31.760
her life. TBI, you know, the Hungary family and Lincoln

733
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.639
Riley family. They couldn't even acknowledge the pain and suffering

734
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:40.480
that these families have endured because of their policies and

735
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:44.119
the open borders that Joe Biden swung open. That we

736
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:48.159
have millions of illegal immigrants in this country that are

737
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:53.119
perpetrating crimes. And regardless of these sanctuary cities that want to,

738
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.480
you know, say something different and gas lightis on it.

739
00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:59.960
The people who live there know better.

740
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.599
Yeah, And it's to the Democrat Party's detriment. Detriment, right though,

741
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.639
you know, I'm kind of kind of split on that,

742
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.440
because the lower the Democrats go, the deeper in the

743
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.199
mud they wallow, the better it is for Republicans and conservatives, right,

744
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.480
the better it is for us politically that you know,

745
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.280
independents and more moderate Democrats will vote for our candidates

746
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:26.360
over the radicalized Democrats. But look, there are a few

747
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:30.119
Democrats who are awakening to the radicalization of their party,

748
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:33.400
Gavin Newsom being the most notable and most recent and

749
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.440
when he came out and he said in his state,

750
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.719
you know, men cannot play in women's sports, boys cannot

751
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:45.320
play in girls' sports. That was a massive announcement, not

752
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:48.360
just to the Democrat Party that he was splitting from

753
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:51.920
on that on that particular platform, but also it serves

754
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.280
as sort of a heads up that this is the

755
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.320
guy that is going to run for president for the

756
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.960
Democrat Party, uh the next election.

757
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:03.159
Yeah, he's reading the polls. I mean, that's why he

758
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:06.400
had Charlie Kirk in his office and they did the

759
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:10.199
podcast and Charlie is telling him things. I'm almost thinking, Charlie,

760
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.599
don't tell him. Maybe in some respects it might be

761
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.360
you know, the wrong gospel, wrong church, that maybe he

762
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.559
just hears it, but it really doesn't take root. Because

763
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:24.400
what Charlie was sharing with him was very pragmatic. But

764
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:28.239
the Democrats, like you said, ideologically, they're so fixed and

765
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:32.159
lost that this is self imposed. And to be honest

766
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.239
with the Cheryl, I had predicted this to happen back

767
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.199
in twenty twenty. I thought that they were going to

768
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:40.800
lose so miserably in twenty twenty that it was going

769
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:42.920
to cause them to do some soul searching. Well, I

770
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.039
was off by four years. And you know here it

771
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:49.119
is because they have really imploded on themselves. And like

772
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:53.079
I said, everything the policies of Joe Biden, Joe Biden

773
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.440
as the full president of the United States, the damage

774
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:59.480
that we've had to endure, you've got to put it

775
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.320
at their But what concerns me, Cheryl I was talking

776
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.480
with another guest here earlier this week about this is that,

777
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.920
you know, this spirit of greed has come upon the

778
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:13.920
political class, and we got to understand it doesn't stay there.

779
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:18.159
It spreads into the electorate to where people think, well,

780
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.840
look at you know, Nancy Pelosi's making all this money.

781
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:24.440
What does it you know, what does it matter if

782
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.000
I if I take extra money, I don't pay my taxes,

783
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:28.920
or I have a check here that came in that

784
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.719
doesn't I shouldn't cash, but I'm going to catch it anyway.

785
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.320
And these people that have been cashing checks for years

786
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.760
on Social Security for a loved one that's been dead

787
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.480
for God only knows how long. I mean, you know,

788
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.800
this greed runs rampant, and that's what we need to

789
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.159
be careful, And I say be careful, we need to

790
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:49.119
be honest about it to where we if we're going

791
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:51.519
to get this country back on track, we've got to

792
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.960
embrace the truth like we've never embraced it before. And

793
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.000
I think that would make a huge difference and solve

794
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:03.199
a lot of problems. But it's going to take some courage.

795
00:44:03.239 --> 00:44:04.599
It's going to take a lot of courage for the

796
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:07.719
Democrats to come from where they are and for citizens

797
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.719
of the United States to you know, what echoes to me.

798
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:14.480
And what brought this out was I was watching JFK's

799
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.880
inauguration They do that every once in a while, and

800
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:21.039
cycled in and his statement about as not what your

801
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:23.639
country can do for you, but what you can do

802
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.840
for the country. And what's happened is too many Americans

803
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:31.360
are living off the dole and the largesse of the

804
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:35.880
America hard working taxpayer and it's just not fair. And

805
00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:40.079
this is what Doses is bringing out. And now how

806
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:43.719
are we going to reconcile all this because this is

807
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.159
going to cause some psychological damage, I believe.

808
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.880
So it's an interesting question on many fronts because you know,

809
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:55.119
you talk about the entitlements, the entitlement mindset that's taken

810
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:58.159
route and spread in America, and that's only gotten worse

811
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.039
the more open our borders, right, because what we do

812
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.280
is we let in these people from countries where they

813
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.840
are used to their governments providing from cradle to grave,

814
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:12.039
and they come here with the same sort of mindset,

815
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:17.840
not respecting or aware of what American exceptional is exceptionalism is,

816
00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:23.039
so they vote for those politicians that promise cradle to

817
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.760
grave entitlements as well, and then pretty soon everybody, as

818
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:28.920
you just pointed out, greed is a factor.

819
00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:29.360
Greed.

820
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.039
Everybody wants their own. If my neighbor gets that, I

821
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:35.440
should get that too. It's only fair, and so it

822
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:38.519
sort of feeds on it, right, And the Democrat Party

823
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.840
has become the party of promising these big entitlement programs,

824
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:47.840
these big entitlement giveaways, because they don't have the principles

825
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:51.639
to get votes, to earn votes, so they have to

826
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:55.360
resort to gimmicks and giveaways as a way of securing

827
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.840
their power as securing their next elections.

828
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.480
And the thing that discussed me most about this is

829
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:02.079
they use our money to do that.

830
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:06.800
Of course, it's very easy to give away other people's money.

831
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.320
Of course, but here it is, and it's no wonder

832
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:11.559
that forty percent of the electorate will vote for them

833
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:14.199
automatically because they're at the troth.

834
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:18.480
Yeah, and so when you look, I like how you

835
00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:22.320
brought up greed, because that's touching on the political system

836
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:24.840
is based on the culture, right you, and I notice

837
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.400
your viewers know this. It's all about the Bible, biblical

838
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:32.360
truths playing out. And if you don't have a citizenry

839
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:36.400
that's morally compassed from a higher power, then you're going

840
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:39.800
to get a corrupted political system, which is why we're

841
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:42.440
at where we're at in America right now. And so

842
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.079
in addition to greed, I think there's a great deal

843
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:48.440
of arrogance that goes along in pride in our political

844
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:52.719
class to sort of look down on citizens. Is if

845
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:55.760
we cannot no longer do for ourselves, that we need government,

846
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:59.360
That government is the only solution for all that ails.

847
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:03.360
And that's another way that our government grows beyond limits,

848
00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:04.760
beyond proper limits.

849
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:08.320
Well, thank god our citizens exercise their own critical thinking

850
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:12.599
during COVID, or we all would have been dead, you know.

851
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.760
I mean, it's pretty scary I mean, you say, but

852
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:20.280
this is what this is the point we've come to.

853
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:23.800
But thank God for Donald Trump, thank God for Elon

854
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:27.519
Musk and Doge and what's being revealed to the American people.

855
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.519
And Okay, so now all this is coming out. So

856
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.119
what are you going to do with the truth? Now?

857
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:34.840
Well, it's interesting, right because a lot of us have

858
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:38.519
been fighting from the trenches for years and waiting for

859
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.559
the day when the politics would actually follow, you know,

860
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:46.559
the limits of the government that are rightly set out

861
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:49.079
in the Constitution, and so we have that in place

862
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.480
right now. But look, we can't just sit back and say, well,

863
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:56.280
Donald Trump's our savior, right, He's going to everything. All

864
00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:58.800
we can do is look at Donald Trump and this

865
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.960
administration is sort of a four year reprieve. Right, We've

866
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.440
got a little breathing room, and now we can make

867
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.840
the real fight that needs to be made in America,

868
00:48:06.880 --> 00:48:10.800
the one for God given rights and liberties. Right, it

869
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:14.039
doesn't matter who's in politics. We as individuals should be

870
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.159
taking our rights and freedoms from God. And in order

871
00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:19.159
to do that, we have to read the Bible. We

872
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:21.239
have to teach our kids a Bible, and we have

873
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:25.079
to insist on Judeo Christian principles being upheld in our

874
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:29.360
political class, which starts with moral governance and then also

875
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:32.519
includes things like humble service to the people.

876
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.639
Exactly. Well, it's a time to re embrace, Yes, the Bible,

877
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.800
the Word of God, the basis, that's the first principle

878
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:43.840
of everything. And then go ahead and just read the

879
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:48.239
Declaration of Independence. I mean that in itself is liberating,

880
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:49.360
isn't it. Yeah?

881
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:51.280
You know you read we hold these truths to be

882
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.239
self evident right that we are endowed with certain unalienable

883
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:57.719
rights from the Creator. That's it right there. That's the

884
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:59.440
marketing orders for our government.

885
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.639
It's about freedom. That is the thing freedom, and that's

886
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.880
where it all emanates from. It comes from God Almighty,

887
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.840
not from Donald Trump, as you said. And so we

888
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:16.199
are a very unique, exceptional country because of this. Cheryl Chumley,

889
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:20.039

899
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:51.840
Again for coming on the show, Cheryl Chumley, and our

900
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:55.440
thanks also to Sam Sorbo who was here earlier talking

901
00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:00.480
about homeschooling and the and the status of public education,

902
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:04.000
and you know, will America have what it takes in

903
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:09.760
order to you know, do something and maybe reorganize, maybe

904
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:13.480
not reorganize the public education, but dismantle it to where

905
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:18.239
we would have something more worthy of our country and

906
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:21.320
our future generations. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much

907
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:22.800
for being with us and sharing a part of your

908
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.840
day with us. Again. May God bless you, and may

909
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:31.039
God's face shine upon you. May His grace and peace

910
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:33.679
be upon you. Thank you for being with us. God

bless
