Ian Prior: States Should Manage What Happens in the Classroom
"Our state legislature is doing enough and governors Republican governors doing enough to control what's going on in the classroom as a rule There's some we know who are great Yeah I mean I think some are I think I think others aren't And certainly it falls upon the state not the federal government to really manage what is going on in the states because look if you put the federal government in charge of this that might go great when you have a presidential administration that is favorable towards parental rights But what happens when you get to buy the administration It's not going to go well So we're really falls upon the state to enforce their constitutions to enforce their laws in the past new laws I mean for example there are states out there that have statutory parental rights protections But there's no enforcement mechanisms And that's one of the problems we see from state to state and certainly even in the federal statute the protection of pupil rights amendment There's no enforcement mechanism for parents to take these school districts to court So I mean we need all kinds of things We need transparency of lessons plans curriculum teacher trainings books in the library books in the classroom library but we need more than that We need an enforcement mechanism so that we can bring schools to court and hold them accountable for these things And then you might actually see some changes in what they're doing

Ian Prior: The Intention of 'Parents of the World Unite' Book
"You have a background in media And this is a fantastic book because you're not only discussing the problems Chapter after chapter you're telling people you need to do this You need to do that You need to investigate You need to activate You need to understand that there's a media out there You need to prepare for that And this is how you fight the school board and on and on and on So this is not just a book about what's taking place This is a book that's about action orientation correct Yeah that's right And each chapter there are 12 chapters and we structure it so that each chapter is a bit of a strategic philosophical rule that we applied in the situation but is certainly applicable to every school district in the country no matter what you're doing I mean I like to think of this as sun tzu's art of war for parents which of course will get me flagged by Merrick Garland but so be it That's probably already the case The idea Yeah the idea being that you know parents can utilize this not just to look at these strategies or these practical ideas on how to get the message out to the media how to work with reporters how to send freedom of information act requests how to set up an organization legally to make sure you're getting your donations processed properly but also to get them thinking about their own strategies and tactics and to really crowdsource that among the parents of this country because that's what it's going to take It's going to take you know successes and failures and learning from those successes and failures and sharing them with others so that they can replicate what's been done

Ian Prior: No Signs of the Parents Movement Waning
"Do you find that the parents movement is vibrant and growing That is It's going to be very effective in the future I do I see no signs of it waning Obviously the COP is introduced as parents Bill of rights But you're seeing throughout the country different groups popping up I mean there is no shortage of parents that are reaching out to me on a near daily basis with issues in their school asking for advice on best approaches to handle their woke school board or their woke school superintendents and you can't get on social media or look at the news without a new issue happening and at some school board meeting or at some school district in America And certainly the weaponization report yesterday I think was a vindication for parents where you know essentially concluded that the NSBA The White House and Merrick Garland colluded on this memo from attorney general Garland two years ago to label parents as domestic terrorists really to try and help Perry McAuliffe in Virginia two years ago because this parents movement was so hurting his chances and ultimately doomed them

Sacramento School Suspends Black Students for Anti-Black Racism
"As reported by the Sacramento bee, a school that is in Sacramento, California, suspended two black students after fake money containing racist imagery against black people circulated through the throughout the campus last week. The summary goes on to say Sacramento city unified school district officials told Kayo VR TV, the fake money handed out Tuesday at Kit Carson, international academy was for buying fried chicken, alcohol, contain the N word, as well as a derogatory image of an African American. Now, one of the reasons why this is not racism in my opinion, both sides, the fact that it was black people having a little fun where was the watermelon? There was no watermelon printed on the money. This is how I know we're over racism. Kids don't even know how we were. Actually, kids don't even know old school racism. Whenever you talk about fried chicken, you gotta include watermelon. It makes no sense to me, but nonetheless, this is what the kids did.

Texas announces takeover of Houston schools, stirring anger
"Texas announces a state takeover of Houston's nearly 200,000 student public school district on Wednesday, angering Democrats who assailed the move as political. The announcement made by the Republican governor's education commissioner amounts to one of the largest school takeovers ever in the U.S.. It also deepens a high stakes rift between Texas's largest city, Houston, where Democrats wield control locally and state Republican leaders have sought increasing authority. The Texas education agency will replace the Houston independent school district superintendent and the district elected board of trustees with an appointed board of managers made of residents. The state says the board failed to improve student outcomes while conducting chaotic board meetings, the district is also accused of failing to provide proper special education services.

Caller: Does Anyone Trust a Government That Lies to People?
"Well, my first point in the second time for a second, but the first point is for you and everybody listening. Does anyone out there believe that a government that lies to the people and hides from the people taxes, the truth about the origins and vaccines for COVID-19, the Russian collusion collusion hoax? And intimidates the people and controls free speech on social media that that government is not totally willing and capable of election rigging, cheating and fixing. Is there anybody out there that believes that? It's a great question. Secondly, you were just talking about Californian pollution and environmental whatever. If I get this project done Todd, would you write a forward for me for my upcoming book called Sarah feces and walking guide to San Francisco and other great American cities? That sounds like one heck of a book a page Turner.

Cheryl Chumley: Why Is California Entering the Reparations Game?
"Memphis area where I am from and our show originates, they are actually using COVID money to the tune of $5 billion to actually study a reparations plan that would put cash into the hands of black citizens, but it pales in comparison to what's happening in California right now. It does California really has seized the day on this one. They're considering $640 billion a package for reparations, which would amount to about 360,000 dollars per eligible black resident in the state. And what's really interesting about California is for those who know their history, California entered the union as a free state. There were discussions in Congress over slavery and finally they signed the California delegate signed the compromise of 1850, guaranteeing that the state would remain a free state. So for California to get into the reparations game, it's a little bit mind boggling. Do we have any idea where they're getting this $640 billion from? Well, you know it's going to be taxpayers. That's not exactly front and center in discussions, but where else are they going to get it? I don't think that a Bill Gates or George Soros type philanthropist is going to come through and supply the money. I'm curious to know if Oprah is going to get her check. Right?

Rep. Bob Good: Calling for 1990s-Era Work Requirements on Welfare
"The things I really appreciate about your plan is to actually embrace the Bill Clinton era, work requirements on welfare. I think for me, and we're going to get to that in a second, but congressman just imagine how far the Democrat party has moved to the left when they were the ones who actually embraced these ideas of, hey, you know, if you're gonna get all welfare, you gotta show us your, you're out there trying to get a job. No question. There's our 3 million less Americans working today than there were when Biden became president and not only is it costing us we're going to save about $30 billion a year on the spending side by having able bodied Americans return to work. So not only is there an economics budgetary savings there, but it will fuel the economy, job creators, employers and businesses can not increase productivity, can not invest in their businesses the way they want to in terms of growing that business without workers. And so there's a cultural component to it. There's a moral virtue that's part of work that we're hurting our country, our hurting our society. We're also against we're spending money to provide federal subsistence to people who are able to work, but then also we're holding back our economy. This president is projected to continue like the anemic 1% economic growth. We got to get back to Trump's pro growth policies, three to 4% growth, which means cutting the regulations again instead of increasing means keeping Trump's tax cuts in place and cutting taxes even more. It means getting Americans back to work as you've just noted there. And it means unleashing American energy again. All those are critical to getting the economy churning again, which will mean we can get to fiscal balance more quickly than we can. We're just trying to cut our way there alone. We got to cut the spending no question, but we all got also got to get Americans back to work, get the economy going again.

Rep. Bob Good: House Freedom Caucus Responds to Biden's Budget Plan
"Congressman, let's just jump right in here. The house freedom caucus holding a big press conference earlier this morning, what do you guys have on your mind? Well, it was in part response to the president rolling out his $6.9 trillion budget yesterday. He wants to throw gasoline on the raging fiscal fire of 32 trillion national debt, not enough for him, $1 trillion deficits are not enough for him. So he projects a 6.9 proposes a $6.9 trillion budget largest budget history of the country, greatest increase in spending in the history of the country projects a $2 trillion deficit, it's a literally a 56% increase over four years ago pre COVID spending at a time when the pandemic is over of course and it's debt on arrival. Of course, we're not going to take that up. It's literally $20,000 per American citizen when you take 6.9 trillion and you divide that by roughly 340 million American citizens. It's just over $20,000 per citizen or say a household of two and a half average then that would be approximately $50,000 per household, no American would vote for that, of course. So we don't have the money and we're not going to do that. But secondly, his policies are harming the country. So the house freedom caucus we've been working on this for several weeks as you know and we went ahead and held a press conference today and didn't release on what our spending plan is, which has immediate cuts and then longer term spending reforms and it really attacks the woke and weaponized federal government. The bureaucracy that's harming the American people

What's Happening in Arizona Can Happen to Any Christian School
"You folks at Liberty University. Many of you folks have done your student teaching work in Lynchburg. What if the Lynchburg city council woke up one day and decided, you know what? We don't want to have any Christians working in our public school system. The same thing could happen to you folks in in Jackson, Tennessee at union university, or right outside of Chattanooga at Lee university. Great Christian schools. Churning out incredible, incredible teachers. But they could be denied jobs if in fact they profess faith in Jesus Christ. Now, here's the curious thing. We have a lot of I know we have a large and very diverse audience. We have Christians and atheists we have Jews and gentiles we have people who are conservative people who are liberal people who are straight people who are gay, what I'm curious about, where is where are all the conservative gay folks out there? Why are they not rising up in outrage over this? Where is the gay community at large because right now they are citing with the school board and the school board is doubling down. And they're saying, you know what? We do not want Christians in our public schools. This ladies and gentlemen is the hill to die on. This is the this is the moment where you have to stand up. And you have to fight back. And I'm glad to see people standing up and fighting back, but I am really surprised. By the numbers of people who came out and said, yeah, we don't have a problem with this. We think that's a good idea. Christians have no right to be in public school classrooms. As teachers.

Tempers Flare at School Board Meeting for Banning Christian Teachers
"Tonight, after two dueling rallies started outside. Those groups were going back and forth after the district decided last month to reject student teachers from a Christian university because of their biblical values. Fox ten Stephanie Bennet joins us live outside that meeting with the latest, Stephanie. Yeah, good evening guys, both groups very heated tonight. The crowds going down a little bit but no stopping this board meeting any time soon they actually have a screen here on a TV truck, if you will, that is projecting the board meeting inside. Now, one side of fighting for the board members rights in supporting the decision to get rid of the partnership and supporting LGBTQ students and staff while the other side was fighting for the Christian university students, extra security is on hand tonight to keep everything calm. Since our last board meeting, she has faced increased death threats, racial attacks and homophobic harassment. But dogs are perpetuating bullying, they are perpetuating hatred. Board members of the Washington elementary school district have received death threats since their unanimous decision last month to cut ties with the Arizona Christian university. Over the perceived threat that the college students of biblical value system poses to LGBTQ students. For the last 11 years, student teachers from the university have worked in the school district, helping gain invaluable work experience while also alleviating the growing teacher shortage. An institution has policies that are openly negative and I will not sit here as a member of the community and let our children be subjected to that. District officials recommended renewing the partnership at the board members three of which identify as members of the LGBTQ community said that having student teachers with biblical values in the state's largest elementary school district is too dangerous. Dozens packed into tonight's board meeting with hundreds waiting in rallying outside from both sides.

Well, hello everybody. Hope you're doing well. This is the Todd starring tradio program. Noon to three eastern, so honored that you have chosen to hang out with us and we've got a terrific terrific show lined up for you. Brand new caucus is being formed upon Capitol Hill, the congressional family caucus, and very excited to be talking to some folks from that caucus also, we're going to be speaking with congressman bob good from Virginia, a member of the House freedom caucus, Biden's budget proposal. This thing is off the charts insane people, and we're going to get the latest from him. But I want to start with the story that we first brought to you and this is a big story and you heard it first here. I think Fox finally picked up on it and a lot of the other conservative networks, but you heard this story here first. It involves a Christian university and Arizona, Arizona Christian university, and a decision by a local school district to no longer hire or utilize student teachers from Arizona Christian university. And last night, there was a massive school board meeting we had. We had a state senator on yesterday on the show and we urged everybody listening to us in Arizona to get to that meeting. Let me explain what happened the crowd at that school board meeting was so massive. They actually had to set up a huge video screen and the parking lot, so hundreds more could actually watch the proceedings inside. And people are just outraged. But the shock was the number of people in the LGBT community who came out in support of the school board. Now, the school board is defending its decision. And now they are doubling down on that decision. The school board in Arizona, which is, by the way, the largest elementary school district in the state, the Washington elementary school district. They decided they would no longer be hiring these student teachers because they didn't want to have people with Christian values working in the school system. And they're open about this and you're going to be here, you're about to hear some audio. From these radical school board members, the school board is made up of 5 individuals three of whom happen to be members of the LGBT community. One of them, wearing cat ears. It's the most bizarre thing I have ever seen in my life. But anyway, they hate Christians, and they say, and they make no apologies. And by the way, all of these are young people, so we're talking about millennials who are on the school board. So they've all been radicalized in our public school system. And to the person, they say that it is dangerous for teachers who hold biblical values to be inside a public school classroom. Do you believe that, ladies and gentlemen, do you believe that teachers who are Christian should not be allowed to be in a public school classroom? We're going to be taking your calls on this one today. 8 four four 747 88 68, a toll free telephone number, 8 four four 747 88 68. Now a couple of big developments you had the big school board meeting last night, hundreds of people turned out. Elias defending freedom has now announced they have filed a federal lawsuit against the school district and we're going to be talking to one of their folks later in the show. But I want to go back to this school board gathering. And I want to play some audio. This is the local news coverage of this gathering..

Tutoring is reaching a fraction of kids struggling in school
"As students struggle to recover from pandemic learning loss, experts say only a small fraction are getting the extra tutoring help they need. Over a year and a half of disruptions from COVID-19 left a measurable learning gap for many U.S. students, but less than 10% received any kind of tutoring this fall. That's according to a survey of the nation's largest school districts by The Associated Press and the nonprofit chalkbeat on the question of why more students aren't getting tutoring the AP found many parents didn't know it was available, or didn't realize their children needed it. School districts have also struggled to hire tutors, and in cases where tutoring was available, the typical after school and weekend scheduling didn't always work for families. Harrison tran, a tenth grader in Savannah, Georgia, says he was unable to take advantage of help his high school offered because he lives 30 minutes from school and couldn't afford to miss his ride home.

"Everybody. Good to have you with us. Before I jump into this story involving NBA basketball star Jean morant. I want to go back and share some stats with you. The MBA has gone full blown woke and it's a tragedy because as we have seen play out. Across the board, once you go woke, you go broke. So the NBA All-Star Game. 2023 edition, the least watched in the history of basketball. I mean, hands down. Nobody's watching it, and why is that? It's because of these woke policies coming out of the NBA. So that brings me to the story of John morant, who is a rockstar here in Memphis, Tennessee. Place for the Memphis Grizzlies. Very good basketball player. Had 23 years old, he had this I'll get to the upbringing in just a moment. But anyway, John morant is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and now he is, he hasn't been suspended, but Josh, Josh Rivera, who's filling out on the board today. Does a lot of sports writing and keeps up with sports here and here in Memphis, and especially the grizzlies. He's been in some hot water over the past couple of months. Yeah, it's been tough as a grizzlies fan to see where our star is going. He's gonna be missing two games, and that's a minimum. They may be more today they're already talking about him, maybe taking the rest of the season off. I don't know. It's just really tough to listen. I mean, he's got a huge multi bazillion dollar deal with Nike and Nike and the whole point of that was talking about what a great leader the poor guy is. Yeah, and not only them, but also powerade, his signature shoe with Nike just came out. He's about to sign probably another huge deal once his contract is up with the grizzlies. He's their franchise player. This is not what you want to see. First of all, from just a figuring sports in general. But just to start, he is our franchise in Memphis. I mean, people don't know, but he is a huge iconic, not just a sports figure, but just a figure in the city in general. He's 23 years old, and he's portraying himself and I'm going to use the language that has been used by sports journalists that are weighing in on this. As this he's embracing the thug life. With the hanging out at the clubs and the bars and I guess what got him in trouble, which is sort of puzzling to me, but I guess there was some photo taken of him with a gun in a club. He was waving the gun around apparently. Is that right, Josh? Yeah, that's right. It was on Instagram Live and look, it's not abnormal for NBA players to go to clubs or to go party after a game or so that's not that's not abnormal. What is abnormal is for players to post a video of them with guns, that kind of stuff, very illegal activity. And but to be honest, if it's in Memphis, I get it because everybody needs to have at least one gun if you're driving around, but you have to have that gun and you have to use it responsibly. I'm not sure I couldn't tell if this man happened in Memphis or this was in Denver. I think it was in Denver. I think it was right after the game they played against Denver. But then there are these other issues where the pacers were in town, I guess, and some of his entourage were waving a gun around it. So this was in Indiana when they were away and apparently there was a laser pointed at one of the Indiana security personnel. It was just not a good situation. And then The Washington Post does the story an expose, and this is what gets me. Is this information was covered up by the Memphis police department and the Shelby county sheriff's department, but apparently got into it at a mall at the galleria with the security guard and there was yet another incident on top of that. It just doesn't seem like it's going to stop..

"There is a lady's brand called always. It's a brand of women's pads. It's a lady's product for ladies and ladies exclusively. So someone is raising a stink about this because there's a new commercial out for the always brand of women's pads. For always infinity, they had the flex foam. And the ladies product features a man. No, I'm not making this up. From the blaze, a research commercial for the always brand of women's pads features someone who appears to be a man, leaving viewers confused about the advertisement for the menstruation product. The 15 second promotional for always infinity pants with flex foam. Features either a man or a transgender man in its commercial in support of all bodies. Quote, no two bodies are the same. Some pads never got that message. The commercial begins. But audiences are unable to pinpoint whether the actor in question is indeed a man or a biological woman posing as a man. There's a raging debate in a Reddit thread. Asking why would a man ever be a part of this demographic? Quote, this is not an inclusivity thing. This is a you're a biological man and have no need for this product thing. It's true. Oh, dear. There you go, folks. It's the whole world's gone slam crazy. Just slap crazy. Can we talk about Texas tech for just a moment? So they're not having a good year on the basketball court. Not a good year at all. Coach under fire Mark Adams is the head coach of Texas tech. And now he has been suspended. It had nothing to do with the fact that they're not winning basketball games. Apparently, coach Adams was having an issue with one of the players, not wanting to be coachable. And that happens, right? You're a head coach. You've got these kids. They think they're the best things since sliced bread, and they don't want to listen to the coach. So the coach had a private conversation with this player. And during the course of the conversation, the coach who is a Christian man, referenced a Bible verse. And the Bible verse was about how there is always a master and a servant. In other words, there's always a coach and then there's someone who is being coached. And the point of the conversation, which was private behind closed doors, was about coaching and being coachable. Anybody who's played a sport understands exactly what that conversation was about. So now there is trouble because the university says what the coach said by quoting the Bible verse was inappropriate unacceptable and here we go, racially offensive. That's what they're saying. So they have now suspended coach Adams. The coach says, hey, wait a second. I was just quoting from the Bible here. Texas tech says the coach apologized, but that's not true. The coach says that is not true. So get this, Texas tech now believes God's word is racially offensive. Let's hope the red raiders don't need a Hail Mary next season during football. Gotta take a break. This is the Todd starn show. All right, welcome back,.

"And on that note, congressman, we have some brand new audio from President Biden, explaining his medical issues that let's take a listen. And I had these terrible headaches with diagnosed with having, by the way, they had to take the top of my head off a couple times. See if I had a brain. He never answered what they found. You want me to comment or just leave that as it is. And this guy, you know, I've had a couple of conversations with him and each time it's gotten progressively worse. We really have a real problem. I mean, if you're if you're praying people, you need to pray for our country because I hear a lot of people say we need to get rid of Joe Biden. Let me tell you, Kamala Harris is worse. We are in a bad. We're in a bad situation in this country. And I put it, I'll put it right in our own 9 years, our own fate, 20 million so called evangelical Christians did not go to the polls last time. And that's why this guy is in The White House. That's it. We're seeing all this radicalism, our military has become woke, the Chinese, I don't know if they fly a surveillance balloon over our country. 1800s technology, something from the Civil War and we allow it, our general told the president of the United States no impact, I will not shoot it down. And that's what we're living with right now. We've got some real problems in this country and we better start addressing them. We're going to lose our country. All right, well, congressman, we're going to leave it there always good stuff and we certainly appreciate your great work up in Capitol Hill. Thank you brother and keep bread and the truth. We'll do congressman Tim burchett from out in east Tennessee and the guys, he's great. Got a big following up on Capitol Hill and the folks in the media love this guy because he just tells it like it is. By the way, I want to go back to the story. We mentioned this briefly at cpac. But it takes a lot to shock me and this, this one really shocked me. This is a story from Springfield, Ohio, kenwood elementary school. Where a group of black students and we believe them to be 5th or 6th graders, we're out on the playground, and they corralled these white children, and they ordered the white children to take a knee, and they had to say Black Lives Matter. Now, there's video of this, so none of this is in dispute. Everybody agrees this is what happened. But the cops say that a number of young people were attacked. So any child that refused to bow down or to take a knee, and any child that refused to say Black Lives Matter, were then subjected to a beating. 17 minutes this went on. The video shows kids the white kids being thrown to the ground and beaten and kicked and punched. And in essence, these kids were being kidnapped. I mean, I'm watching one video where you have two blank kids and they've got the arm of a white student and they're dragging them through the playground. I mean, this is pretty horrible stuff happening. 17 minutes, where were the teachers? School security at? According to the principal, a few of the students who had tried to avoid the situation were chased down and escorted, dragged or carried to the spotting the playground, one student was also punched in the head. The scroll district, Springfield, city schools. Said they will not be disclosing how the students will be punished. Well, why not? The NAACP, they said, oh, this is an appropriate, but we don't believe any of the students should be arrested. Well, why not? These kids kidnap their classmates. They assaulted their classmates, and they singled out their classmates based on the color of their skin. Now I think we all know that if this had been a reversal of skin colors, what would have happened? The white kids would have already been thrown in jail. Charged with federal hate crimes. I know you can't charge it. I get it. But that's what would have happened. They would have found a way. The school district goes on to say that the district is working with counselors, mental health experts and others to deal with the aftermath of this situation. It is a horrible story. One parent telling a local newspaper that their child is terrified of going to school again. Unbelievable. So we don't have any word yet on whether or not kids are being charged with any crimes. So I'm going to ask the question here of the audience. Should these kids be charged with a crime here for what they did on the playground? Should they face hate crime charges? Because we know that they certainly would have done it if it had been the white kids doing that. 8 four four 747 88 68 is our toll free telephone number that's 8 four four 747 88 68. We've got the video on our website. It's just horrifying. You really wonder what's going on and I'm going to tell you what's going on. This is what critical race theory looks like in practice. At the end of the day, after years of teaching these children that they have been oppressed by the white kids, are you surprised this happened? I mean, really. We'll be right back. All right. I really don't want to talk about this story. But we're going to this is from the blaze dot com, Andrew. Ciampa is the writer, a new commercial..

"Yes. Congressman, I want to direct your attention back to Washington and you've got some significant legislation that we need to talk about. Stepping up this push to ban the TikTok, what are the concerns for that Americans need to know about? Maybe their kids are on TikTok. They don't know much about it. What should they be concerned about? Well, first of all, I think we need to understand that the Chinese communist have compromised almost every level of our government from our White House to Congress to our military to our research institutions to our colleges across this country. They have their tentacles into everything. They have it in our communications, the company is called Huawei at it's not spelled like that, but that's how you pronounce it. It's run basically through the Chinese communist military and TikTok is one of those things in their country it's used as an educational tool in this country. It's used. They put these cute little videos on them and kids see it and they emulate it and they try to get how many views they can get and down the line. And what the Chinese are using once you've downloaded that software, they are monitoring every aspect of your day to day life. What you purchase, what you view, what you don't view, and they target things towards you. And if you have a child that suffering from depression, or you think they might be suffering from depression, you better watch out if they're on TikTok because they are using this to alter kids minds and their moods and I mean the Chinese have a in America I've always said is we want our pieces in 30 minutes or less Mark and that's about our attention span, but the Chinese have a hundred year plan where they know what they want to do. They know where they want to be. And they're following it. And if you know, it's just like when they said COVID didn't come from China, didn't come from the lab. Well, now we know it did. And all those people who won Pulitzer prizes from our ruling class in the media, they're not turning their Pulitzer prizes in. The Chinese are in so much control in this country. It's scary. And I hope I wish I could tell everything I knew about what they control, but there's aspects of our lives that is very scary and tic tac is one of the TikTok is one of those things. Tic tacs the candy, but TikTok is one of those applications that kids download and it is scary right now what they're doing. And you actually have a United States senator, a Democrat senator, who is publicly stated that he is working in good faith with the Chinese to help clear out this thing up. Now, that should tell you right there, nothing with the Chinese communists and some good things. No, not at all good, lord. Also later this week, Friday, we understand the Treasury Department is going to be testifying before the House oversight committee over their decisions to withhold some significant Biden crime family documents. What can you tell us about that? Well, we know that the Biden family is deeply involved in shady dealings. I mean, 10% for the big gallery. The lord gets 10%. Joe Biden doesn't get 10%. And where his son is negotiated with the Chinese. We know that they, some of these oligarchs that have been slapped some pretty heavy penalties on. We know a couple of those that his son oddly enough had a contractual agreement with the tune of several hundreds of thousands of dollars, I believe what I was told. And those were not slapped with any fines or any regulations or any hindrance whatsoever. So there's a whole lot in there, it's a lot to chew on. The problem is there's just so much garbage that's true about this family and their crimes syndicate, basically. And it's just sad that the head person of it is sitting in The White House in his cognitive skills are decreasing. Cognitive skills are decreasing to where these things are becoming more and more apparent and he is being further further taken advantage of and by that I mean allowing the country to be taken advantage of and his family to profit by..

Rep. Tim Burchett: Response to Tennessee Banning Drag Shows for Kids
"Want to start with some statewide news that sort of gone national as lawmakers in Nashville took on this ban on drag queen shows in front of children and to be specific ladies and gentlemen because there's been so much fake news reporting about this. The law would ban performances on public property and in places where they could be watched by miners specifically very graphic sexual content. And congresswoman apparently a lot of a lot of Democrats don't have a problem with kids going to these kinds of shows. What I can't figure out is why more people aren't outraged by this. I mean, who would think it is healthy for a young child, free pubescent child who has watching a man dressed up like a woman touch his crotch in front of him. I mean, to me, that is the epitome of wrongdoing. And I'm glad Tennessee stood up. I'm proud of it. I'm proud of that. I spent 16 years in the legislature and honestly, we didn't have, if we had drag shows with kids, we didn't know about it or we would have banned it back then, but I'm glad tendency is kind of taking the bull by the horns on this thing and late in the way, because I suspect other states are going to be doing it very soon.

James appreciate that call, sir, and thank you for listening to us. Let's go to Craig also listening to us on the talk station in North Carolina. Hey Craig, what's going on? Not much. I was very surprised when you said James from the talk station. I thought, well, did I give them the wrong name? No, we've got a lot of listeners out there in that neck of the Woods. Yes, you do. No, I was just thinking so amazing about that thing with the school board is how hard it is to get teachers. Everywhere you hear that there's teachers, they don't have enough. And here they're stopping, allowing teachers to get into work. Although, I mean, just to be the devil's advocate and we have to make sure we clean up this is that any problem with that we had with, say, the Catholic priests. We can't give these idiots any ammo to use against us. So we have to be sure to keep trying to get our side clean too. Greg, I'm reading here from this story in the Arizona republic a teacher, Lisa Hayes, she's been with the district for 11 years. She said there's no basis for this. Nothing has happened that should have initiated this, except for the school board members hypothetical ideas. This is discrimination. It's disappointing and disheartening, and such a diverse school district that has always celebrated its diversity. Everybody is welcome, except for the Christians. What would you expect from a school board member that dresses up like a cat and just, I mean, I saw that picture, I just said, no, this can't be somewhat out of school board. Dressed like this. It's shocking. I mean, I'm really shudder to imagine what bathroom breaks are like, do they have like a little litter box off to the side? Very troubling. Anyway, I've got two daughters, two daughters who are teachers. And their schools are always looking for teachers. Well, we're coming to a point and I think it started so many years ago. I don't go back in almost ten years ago with the lawsuits, the gay activists coming after the bakers and the wedding planners and the florist and all that kind of nonsense. And now that you've got these radicals out there, they're getting all these school boards and they want to punish the Christians. That's pretty much. It's not a deep dive here. They're pretty adamant about what they're going to do. Yeah, it's too bad. We just can't the golden rule just would solve everything. Yes, it would.

If that school was Islamic school, they wouldn't have any problem with it. Christian that they have a problem with. Yes, you got that right, James. They always target the Christians, don't they? They target the Christians, but you know what? They shouldn't carry money because it says in God we trust on that money and every one of them will take that money if you were to give it to them. You know, I have a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to all of this James. The right to practice our religion is protected by the United States Constitution. And if any public school refuses to protect that right, I say we defund them. A 1000% no more federal money. Yes, sir, they need to do to school vouchers anyway. There you go.

He didn't take a gap year, James. No, sir. You can charge anything. You wouldn't believe what you can charge to your school loan, man. You can go to Africa on sabbatical during the summer.

"The finding alphabet, yeah, that's good. So writing in the Arizona republic. She says there's no basis for this. There's no evidence that student teachers from Arizona Christian or Grand Canyon university, which is another Christian school have ever violated district policy or federal policy regarding the separation of church and state, which there's no such thing. This is quote discrimination of all employees of faith, especially those who are Christian. So she writes in this article in the Arizona republic, flip it around and see how it sounds. Would it be okay for another school district to enact a policy against hiring an entire class of people say teachers who are LGBTQ out of some fear that one or more might make a student uncomfortable and let me stop here for a moment and based on the overwhelming evidence we have seen on the libs of tick tock, it's very clear to me that a shocking number of LGBT teachers have literally turned their classrooms into indoctrination centers for the left. And specifically the LGBT agenda. I don't see too many Christian flags flying in public school classrooms, but I see a lot of gay pride flags, flying in those classrooms. This right here, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call old fashioned discrimination. And I'm afraid there's going to be more of it happening in the coming days. Let's go to Rebecca in Maine, listening to us on WLB wants to weigh in on these student teachers, hi Rebecca, what's going on? Well, that's just ours. Well, thank you for having me. And I also wanted to say that I agree with, I agree with her. First of all, they would have lost their mind. But the thing is, is that these young people coming from these schools are bringing good values, good ethics and good morals. They're not freeing an agenda to brainwash to preach their agenda. They're just bringing a good wholesome behavior to a classroom. I can not understand how that could possibly be a problem. Well, the problem. The problem is the school board Rebecca. I mean, you've got a majority of the school board LGBT and they want to punish Christians. That's all there is to it. And yet, if I were to say to walk up to them and say, I want, you know, I don't care that you are, you know, the alphabet soup. As long as you keep it to yourself, they would lose their mind. Absolutely lose their minds. No doubt about it and Rebecca just we've talked about at length about coach Kennedy. The high school football coach from Burma in Washington. This guy had to take his case all the way to the Supreme Court just to kneel and pray by himself at the 50 yard line. They're literally shoving teachers into closets while opening up the LGBT causes and saying, hey, come on out. Don't just celebrate in your classroom. We want you to indoctrinate and recruit in your classroom. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Absolutely. All right. So you don't have a problem. You have a one. With these Christian teachers. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely not. I think that, you know, you can't bring a better quality human being in somebody that has faith into, because they have a firm grounding. So when they're dealing with all those kids, and those kids, you know those kids can be a little crazy. They've got a firm grounding and they don't have to act out. They have it inside of them. I.

I'm going to go to the Patreon to use maker line. Honor to have with us father Frank pavone, director of priest for life and he's in California at the march for life. We're going to talk about that in just a moment. But father Frank, when you hear that kind of discriminatory language coming from a school board, what goes through your mind? Well, Todd, great to be with you today and one of the first things that went through my mind is with Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in the response to the Biden State of the Union, he said, this is a battle between normalcy and insanity. And it crazy. I mean, that's what it is. You know, these people look at religious freedom as discrimination. And because that's in the official strategy documents of the Democrat party and this is where we Christians need to need to be so, so alert, much of what we said at cpac these last few days hit the hit on this theme that, you know, we are, we are living in a time when they're trying to normalize discrimination against Christians and call that freedom. And this incident that you just related to us from Arizona just embodies that very same dynamic. You know, I never thought at least in my lifetime that I would see this sort of discrimination where a school district says, you know what, we're not hiring the Christian teachers anymore. And they made no bones about it. They came right out and said, we got a problem with any of these people that are living their lives through the biblical lens. And it reminded me of something president Trump said father Frank and I know you were at cpac and the president said this battle in 2024 is the final battle. When you look at that level of discrimination, I agree with that. Yes, it is. I agree with that too. It doesn't get any crazier than this. It doesn't get any worse than this. I mean, when and we saw Biden himself saying it in that weird demonic talk in Philadelphia, some months ago, you know, when you start demonizing the maga movement, the America first movement, the Christians in America. I mean, you're setting the stage for outright physical persecution. And then of course, history has seen this time and time again. That's what they're setting the stage for. And we've got to be ready for that battle. It's the final battle and I know I think that the people there at feedback were in fact ready are in fact ready. We were gearing up for this. So many of the talks taught, as you know, we're just saying to people like Steve Bannon said, you know, it's not that there's a storm coming. The storm is here. We are in the midst of it now. And that's why he said in relation to the presidency, you know, we can't have on the job training. You know, for the president, we elect in 2024. We need him and other people in office who have been in this battle already and have proven themselves to be winners. Father, Frank, I want to play something that Michael Knowles said that's caused a lot of controversy. He was talking about transgenderism. I think this is important, folks. He wasn't talking about transgender people. He was talking about the ideology cut 18. There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is all or nothing. If transgenderism is true, if men really can become women, then it's true for everybody of all ages. If transgenderism is false, as it is, if men really can't become women as they can not, then it's false for everybody, too. And if it's false, then we should not indulge it. Especially since that indulgence requires taking away the rights and customs of so many people. If it is false, then for the good of society and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely the whole preposterous ideology at every level. And now this guy, Michael Knowles is being attacked father for saying that they say, well, he wants to eliminate he wants to destroy transgender people. That's not what he said. No, it's not what he said. And you know what he said is true, not only in and of itself, but it's hot it applies to all of these radical ideas of the left. You know, when we think about transgender as a pro life leader, I've been saying, you know, maybe the reason today we can't say a man is a man or a woman is a woman, is because for 50 years we've been saying a baby's not a baby. If you take biological reality and you think you can just redefine it and twist it any way you want. I mean, that is the notion that has to be rejected in its totality because then we're all in danger because when the next thought you might have is that you or I are not a person. And so what he says is absolutely right. We just have to understand, you know, it doesn't mean you're rejecting the person..

"So there's two stories I want to focus on and they're both related. The first, though, is something that we've been very involved with. The Scottsdale unified school district. As many of you know, I spoke at the Scottsdale unified school district over the summer. And I called out many members of the board, including one of these creeps, this guy by the name of Jan Michael Greenberg, whose would be best described as a NPR pledge drive donor as Tucker Carlson would say Prius driving nalgene drinking kind of back country hiking so he's kind of displaced from some place in Portland Oregon or Seattle organ who never should be on the school board. This is a childless creep, who is on the Scottsdale unified school district board. He's been the big push behind forcibly masking children against the will of parents and kids, despite no significant risk of children dying from the Fauci virus in the Scots unified school district. And so we I spoke in front of the school board and he was so disrespectful to my wife, by the way, when my wife Erica spoke in front of the Scottsdale unified school district, and this guy Jan Michael Greenberg, who's a childless hack who sits on this board and this is and again, some people say, oh, Charlie, you shouldn't attack people that don't have kids that sit on the school board. No, I do think it's kind of weird that if you set on a school board and you don't have kids. I get a lot of hate when I say that, but maybe after you've exhausted every single parent that wants to get involved, then childless people can get on the school board, but this guy you look at him, he's nothing more than a political opportunist. And so we call him out for masking children and for defying state law. He is not a good person and breaking news the last couple days. Now at the Scottsdale unified school district, this is going to be loudon county two everybody. If you think what happened in loudon county was just an isolated incident, wait till I tell you what's happening in Scottsdale unified school district. So this guy, Jan Michael Greenberg had emailed one of the parents about some sort of back and forth calling a parent antisemitic over her comments she made about billionaire George Soros, like give me a break. But in the screenshot was a link to his private Google Drive account. Now that private Google Drive account then, the parent had the wisdom and the wherewithal to actually go see what does he have in the private Google Drive account. Well, in the private drive account, he had a dossier. Of parents private information, pictures of 8 and ten year old blogging and collecting information on parents and the stock still unified school district that might speak against his regime as governing board of the stock so unified school district. He said, we've identified in there were 47 people who he hired private investigators to check their backgrounds, their divorce decrees, he had social security numbers, property records, and mortgages of parents who have just come and spoke at the Scottsdale unified school district. In Arizona, I hope you're listening very closely. Your taxpayer dollars when you pay money, I pay Scottsdale taxes, by the way, hello, this includes me. When I pay Scottsdale, unified school district, money, I am paying for this creep to go spy on parents. Meanwhile, Scottsdale unified school district enrollment is going down, they're masking children against state law and what is he focused on, oh, he's creating dossiers. With different labels and different folders, one that was labeled anti mask lunatics, or press conference psychos, or parents showing signs that say CRT is racist, or S USD we demand transparency. You have to understand that this example in Scottsdale is precisely what started the untangling or the unraveling I should say of what happened in loudon, which is a dossier of school board members, spying on parents. The Scottsdale unified school district has sent out this letter dear S USD parent family. You may be aware of reporting this week regarding a Google Drive site allegedly creating and maintained by Mark Greenberg. And so yeah, this was his dad who did this while the existence of the site and his public record contents may raise concern and activities or not within purview the Scots unified school district control, an unrelated to our 22,000 students, which you guys do a horrible job of governing, by the way. That set is important to know that the governing board does not have unfettered access to student records, protection by the federal family, education rights and privacy act. They're lying. The Scots will unified school district has lied throughout this entire process. They all have to go. And we have been keeping the drum beat going and yes, I will be there on November 30th and you should be too. Spying on parents while the school district is falling apart? And getting their social security numbers and divorce records? How about you do your job and make sure that students are learning math and reading and science? No, no, instead you have school board members that are compiling dossiers on parents that dare complain that their local schools are going to ruin. Jan Michael Greenberg, the childless creep who sits on this board, he hasn't spoke out against this. But he's the one that sent the screenshot. He's the very same one that had the expletive filled response who was disrespectful incredibly disrespectful and rude and awful to my wife when she spoke of Scott's doing unified school district board. But I hope all of you and this is why this is a national story. If your look is your local school board spying on you, is it an interesting how these left wing collectivist anti parent activists, they can't.

This is going to be a fun one today as always it seems like there's a ton to talk about Regarding well just about everything out there co vid still starting to try to creep its way to the forefront of what's going on in the world will talk a little bit about that Not not a ton of cova talk today and all that could be a welcome relief for a lot but we do Start with our accessories of the flair and hair poll question. What are your thoughts on. Putin school district requiring requiring mask regardless vaccination status. I know it's a little bit different. We haven't seen this one Putin school district is requiring a mask regardless of whether you're vaccinated or not For the entire putter school district community. This leads us right into news for northern colorado. Here is the email from superintendent Brian kingsley the the press release came out deer pse community. i'm hopeful and inspired a partner with you to make this a great school year for students and families. The first day of school is only two short weeks away. And we're excited. Welcome students back classrooms fulltime as promised. This is an update about psd's cove nineteen protocols for fall. Twenty twenty one. I start by saying. We're gonna talk a ton about kobe and yet here. We are starting august fifth. That's today we will require masks in puzder school district buildings for all staff students and visitors regardless of vaccination status. I know some of you will be angry about this decision while others may feel a deep sense of relief whether you agree or disagree i value you and want to remain transparent about how we made our decision. Our priorities are safety. Keeping kids in school want to provide a dynamic learning environment for students in minimize quarantines. We're also using data and public health guidance to be responsive meaning that we monitor psd's specific lerma county state and national data as He shared in his last update. We've been grappling with the changing conditions. And what they mean for mask protocols. One of the biggest challenges. I've heard was how difficult quarantines were for everyone. Our goal is to keep kids in school. These way to do that is to wear masks. When mascara weren't appropriately. They're extremely effective at protecting. Both you and me a lot of you may ask why why what's changed. The short answer is the delta varied. It's more contagious. It's spreading and it's impacting we'll vaccinated and unvaccinated people with our inkers case rates and current vaccination rate lamoure county is now considered high risk the benchmark set by the centers for disease control and prevention. Should we need additional predict protective measures. At truth be told even though we've done everything in our power to keep our communities safe. We need to do more. Please know that we will reevaluate this decision. When we reach improved health conditions in the county in our schools. We also need to see lamoure. County vaccination rates go up to get out of the current high risk category. We need to come together as community to prioritize keeping kids in school. You can do this by wearing your mask. Washing your hands falling health and safety protocols and getting vaccinated. It's right for your family. The beginning of school is a time of celebration and belonging. This news may be discouraging. But let's not lose sight of why we're here to be hopeful to be inspired and to make sure every child learns everyday. Thank you for your continued partnership that again brian kingsley. Who is the superintendent of putter school districts. So a couple of things for me. Stand out there. Number one is what i like about. What brand kingsley did. Even in which he says that vaccinated unvaccinated people are getting the virus. Which is one hundred percent true. It's still is and effectiveness for the vaccine is starting to slip a little bit. You're seeing now. New studies showing that the modern vaccine is down to ninety three percent effectiveness. Starting the head down. But what i like is that he he still lays it out there and still has a a welcoming tone of the people who who haven't been vaccinated. Don't decide to get vaccinated. I'm starting to see people go off the rails a little bit for lack of a better term on both sides. And i thought we were done with the covert hysteria. But we're not you have people who are on the vaccinated side and have have gotten the vaccine and They're they're starting to push and push for things like the proof of vaccination do indoor events another one. That's picking up steam as a potential for a travel ban for unvaccinated people. This is just getting a little out of hand when we talk about this. The problem is that we built a hysteria up about how scared everyone should be cove in. Nineteen that's what we heard all year last year in march of last year. Hell i even. I didn't know what it was all about. I don't nobody did. I stayed away from my parents who i wouldn't consider elderly by any stretch of the imagination. Here welcome but i stayed away from them for a for a month or two which i come from a very tight knit family. That was by far the longest time that we've spent away from each other for for a reason like that. So the hysteria was there then as we started to see. What is what this virus was really doing to people. At what rate it was killing people. At what rate it was being transmitted new the odds new. It took a self responsibility and said okay. This is something that we're not we're not worried about. We're going to go about our lives because we don't wanna waste even a year of our life being locked doors being these other things and i'm sure there people right now. They're saying we'll use selfish. You know what but wendy. We accept that this virus is gonna be here. When do we accept that. Even though we're saying it's coming back. Hospitalization rates are still lower than what we saw at the lowest point during our peaks last night. When do we acknowledge that when we acknowledge that people can get this and a lot of people are still They are still a symptomatic or if they do have symptoms. They're very very mild. When do we start talk commonsense. Please if you are worried about this if you are immuno-compromised if you've got a people in your life where mask if you feel safer about that where mask stay off the airplanes. Don't maybe don't go to a restaurant if that's where you're really at but this hysteria is creeping back up in the people and hysteria reaches people. That's when you start to see crazy decisions made and he started the crazy ideas thrown out there. And that's when you start to see people torn apart when we judge our neighbor because they live a different lifestyle than we do and they make a different personal decision than we do and we look down our knows them. What type of person are we and trust me. I'm not a perfect person i. There's people that i looked at in man. That's more on without knowing and it's something i need to be better at but i have friends. That are unvaccinated. I've got friends that are vaccinated. I got friends. That are wearing masks. Friends don't that's.
