  They've written a whole dossier on us, which is kind of
• 0:02
  hilarious. A whole a whole one page how to
• 0:06
  get rid of moms from America in your school board meetings.
• 0:08
  Because it's very hard to marginalized us.
• 0:11
  It's a very hard to shove us in a corner and call us something
• 0:14
  when we're just there being nice.
• 0:16
  This is Virtuous Leaders, the podcast for based Catholics who
• 0:19
  will speak truth, do good, or die trying.
• 0:22
  Here's the show. You are the president and
• 0:30
  founder of Moms for America. Why are women America's last
• 0:34
  best hope? Yes, I wrote the book because I
• 0:38
  realized that if we're going to save this country, we're going
• 0:41
  to have to do it through the mothers of America.
• 0:43
  And it's why I started the organization, because America is
• 0:49
  every country is but a magnified home, and home is the center of
• 0:52
  society and mothers of the center of the home.
• 0:54
  So if we want to turn this culture around to get things
• 0:56
  back on track, I need to start with the.
• 0:58
  Moms. The moms are so central to
• 1:00
  society. I agree and I actually visited a
• 1:03
  big family the other day and it occurred to me being a mom must
• 1:06
  be the best job in the world. I would think so.
• 1:09
  OK, so there was that stint where I wanted to be Pat
• 1:13
  Benatar, but other than that, I've always wanted to be a mom.
• 1:16
  I've always wanted to have a big family.
• 1:19
  I have eight children, 9 grandchildren.
• 1:22
  We, we have a very close knit family and I will tell you that
• 1:28
  no matter what else I do, where else I go, wherever I speak, the
• 1:31
  most important thing to me is in my home with my family.
• 1:36
  That's the legacy I'm leaving and that's what I wanted moms to
• 1:39
  understand. And everything else we do is
• 1:41
  just is just extra, most important thing that we're doing
• 1:45
  is creating the future of everything in our own homes and
• 1:49
  our own sphere of influence. So Speaking of extra, you
• 1:54
  founded mods for America. So what?
• 1:56
  Why did you do that? What's that all?
• 1:57
  About well, I, it was really a comeuppance moment.
• 2:01
  I guess 911 was my wake up moment.
• 2:05
  You always, everybody who's who's kind of gotten involved in
• 2:09
  and standing up for, for freedom and faith and family, there's
• 2:14
  been something that's hit them. There's a 2020, there was a tea
• 2:17
  party movement with me. It was it was 911.
• 2:21
  My husband was an officer in the United States Air Force Station
• 2:23
  to the Pentagon. And it was through a series of
• 2:27
  total God miracles that he came home safe that day.
• 2:31
  And it changed me. I've always been patriotic.
• 2:35
  I did the fireworks, the picnics, you know, all the fun
• 2:37
  things. But I didn't realize what it
• 2:39
  meant to be a patriot till that day.
• 2:41
  And I realized the cost of freedom up close to personal.
• 2:44
  And that was the day I went from being patriotic to being a
• 2:47
  patriot. And then the next three years,
• 2:50
  well, I, I would have to say I was under the tutelage of God.
• 2:54
  And he put me in all the right places to meet the people I
• 2:56
  needed to meet, to have the experiences that I needed to
• 2:59
  have to be prepared for the time that he was going to call me to
• 3:03
  start a national organization. So we just one of the
• 3:07
  experiences that I had, I was I was at a town hall meeting that
• 3:11
  a friend had invited me too. And the speaker was talking
• 3:14
  about taxes and he asked a question about representation.
• 3:18
  And he said, well, how many congressmen do you have?
• 3:21
  And I said, well, how many congressmen we have blend.
• 3:23
  Everybody in the room started laughing and I couldn't figure
• 3:25
  out why. So when I got home, I told my
• 3:27
  husband what happened. And I said, I don't I don't get
• 3:30
  it. What did I miss?
• 3:31
  And he's like, honey, every state has two senators.
• 3:35
  They thought you were joking. I was like, OK, why don't I know
• 3:40
  this? And I got mad.
• 3:41
  And so I started studying the Constitution.
• 3:44
  I took Constitution classes. I read the Declaration of
• 3:46
  Independence. I would everything it could
• 3:48
  possibly get my hands on and realize that everything I should
• 3:51
  have learned in school, I never did.
• 3:53
  And so I started teaching myself and I started teaching my
• 3:56
  children. And I wanted to be able to share
• 3:58
  that same love of liberty, that same light, that that same
• 4:03
  passion for America that I had experienced through learning the
• 4:06
  the true story of America, that our history, our heritage.
• 4:09
  I wanted to share that with other moms.
• 4:11
  And that's really was what started.
• 4:14
  That's what started Moms for America.
• 4:18
  OK, So what? What is the mission of this and
• 4:21
  how do you accomplish that? Well, the mission is to empower
• 4:26
  moms, promote liberty and raise patriots.
• 4:28
  And we do that by programs and resources and events.
• 4:32
  We have local events where we meet with moms and we share, we
• 4:36
  just share the story of America and it gets them all excited.
• 4:39
  We have cottage meetings is our core signature program.
• 4:42
  It's like Tupperware for liberty.
• 4:43
  And we just, you just bring your own, you know, friends and
• 4:46
  neighbors into your home and you lead a discussion group where we
• 4:49
  promote the principles of liberty, the Constitution, the
• 4:52
  story of America in a way that that resonates with moms.
• 4:55
  And they get very excited. And then they want to get
• 4:57
  involved and teaching this to their children and sharing it
• 5:02
  within their communities, voting it.
• 5:05
  It causes them to realize this, how powerful their influence is.
• 5:09
  And then we have our school district ambassadors.
• 5:12
  We are training moms and dads. That's a position where both men
• 5:16
  and women can can fill. And that there are three 13,452
• 5:22
  school districts in the country. And we want to have a fully
• 5:24
  trained school district ambassador and every one of them
• 5:26
  creating a relational network between parents, teachers and
• 5:29
  school board members and and a counter voice to the teachers
• 5:33
  unions. And we, we are very excited
• 5:36
  about that program because it's making making a lot of strides.
• 5:39
  And then of course, Mom Vote where we empower moms to be able
• 5:42
  to vote their values with confidence by helping them be
• 5:45
  able to get registered to vote, know where their voting location
• 5:48
  is, and give them information resources on where the
• 5:50
  candidates stand on the issues that matter to them.
• 5:53
  Interesting, so you set up Moms for America Patriotism as in
• 5:59
  opposition to teachers unions? Shouldn't surprise many
• 6:02
  listeners, but I would if you could just flush that out a
• 6:04
  little. Yeah, so there are things that
• 6:08
  people don't know how the unions work.
• 6:11
  So when the National School Board Association labeled moms
• 6:16
  as domestic terrorist, people didn't realize that every single
• 6:21
  state has an affiliate and they're promoting the same
• 6:24
  agenda and the whole their lobbying associations is what
• 6:27
  they are. They disguise themselves as
• 6:30
  support organization, but they're lobbying associations.
• 6:32
  They're lobbying the union's mission.
• 6:35
  And our school district funds are paying for it, sometimes to
• 6:39
  the tune of 10s of thousands of dollars.
• 6:41
  So while, you know, we have to go as parents to the to the
• 6:44
  store and get pencils and crayons and paper for our kids
• 6:47
  to go to school, which is absurd.
• 6:50
  They're paying ridiculous amount of money of these lobbying
• 6:52
  associations to to lobby against the parents, to intimidate
• 6:57
  teachers and to harm children. So we encourage moms to go and
• 7:03
  to file a public records request asking how much of district
• 7:06
  funds are going to these lobbying associations and then
• 7:08
  have the money taken away. There are also superintendents
• 7:12
  association, so principals association, when all of these
• 7:15
  associations are out there pushing the union's agenda.
• 7:18
  So we make teachers and parents aware of that.
• 7:20
  There are also, there's also the problem of the unions where they
• 7:23
  get their money. They got their money from
• 7:25
  teachers. Teachers are encouraged from
• 7:28
  even before they leave the the college campus, they go and they
• 7:32
  have to spend some time student teaching before they become a
• 7:35
  certified teacher. You have to have a certificate
• 7:37
  insurance to be able to do that. So the teachers union comes
• 7:40
  galloping into the university before you ever graduate and
• 7:43
  have you a part of the union. They also have teachers who they
• 7:47
  use as incentive, incentive forces to go into the to the
• 7:53
  schools and they encourage or heavily encourage other teachers
• 7:58
  by fear or, you know, say you get these benefits or you really
• 8:02
  should do this, be a part of the team and convince these teachers
• 8:05
  to join. And then the teachers union
• 8:07
  gives them a subsidy they given, they give them a, a kickback for
• 8:11
  getting those teachers involved. So it's, it's the union is very
• 8:14
  entrenched in the whole entire education system.
• 8:16
  And what teachers don't understand is there not the
• 8:19
  union they are paying into, a union that is, that is dictating
• 8:25
  to them how they will teach, how they will think, intimidating
• 8:29
  and bullying them. And the only time that they
• 8:31
  support a legal case for you is when you are going with their
• 8:35
  agenda. And the moment that you go
• 8:37
  against their agenda, they're going to use all that money that
• 8:39
  you paid into them to fight against you.
• 8:41
  So these are all the kinds of things that that we that we
• 8:44
  teach, but we also help moms realize the power of
• 8:48
  relationships. And of course, we're justifiably
• 8:51
  angry with what's going on in the school system, but to just
• 8:54
  show up yelling and calling people to repentance, it's, it's
• 8:58
  not going to do anything. So we help them build
• 9:01
  relationships. We talked about the power of
• 9:02
  branding. We give them all the tools and
• 9:05
  resources to be able to go into that school district and be an
• 9:09
  effective member of that community where people will
• 9:11
  start to listen to you and not just ignore you.
• 9:14
  Wonderful. Do you have a sense for what you
• 9:17
  reach is right now? Well, we have well over 500,000
• 9:22
  moms in our network. We're in all 50 states.
• 9:25
  And well, I can tell you that the impact is been pretty
• 9:28
  impressive because the head of the Kansas Teachers Union was
• 9:32
  interviewed by the Kansas City News and she said that we fear
• 9:35
  Moms for America because they're moving people in the wrong
• 9:38
  direction. Great, congratulations.
• 9:42
  They're afraid and they should be, as Alex Jones said.
• 9:47
  Yeah, well, they've written a whole dossier on us, which is
• 9:50
  kind of hilarious. A whole, a whole one page how to
• 9:53
  get rid of moms from America and your school board meetings.
• 9:56
  Because it's very hard to marginalized us.
• 9:59
  It's a very hard to shove us in a corner and call us something
• 10:02
  when we're just there being nice and and stand with stand up on
• 10:06
  truth. We're we're not going to bow to
• 10:08
  the lies, but we do it in in a courageous and intelligent,
• 10:12
  articulate way. And when you introduce common
• 10:15
  sense of truth, it's kind of really hard for them to ignore
• 10:18
  it. And they're the teachers and and
• 10:21
  the school board members are like, yeah, that that makes
• 10:24
  sense. Yeah.
• 10:25
  So teachers union doesn't like that, but we're with.
• 10:28
  It what does the dossier say? Oh, it says all kinds of things
• 10:34
  that like moms, I thought we had.
• 10:36
  Sam Sorbel was on our board of directors until recently on this
• 10:40
  show too. And so they were, oh, she's
• 10:43
  awesome, dear, dear, dear, dear friend.
• 10:45
  So they were saying, oh, she's against public education.
• 10:49
  And she said this and she said that.
• 10:51
  And then they come after the fact that Lumps for America held
• 10:55
  an event on January 5th and 2020 and we were a part of Stop the
• 11:01
  Steal, just asking questions about the election.
• 11:04
  So they bring that up and call us insurrectionists.
• 11:07
  And so they put all they take take all the negative things
• 11:10
  they could possibly find. And now we're on the Southern
• 11:12
  Poverty Law Center because apparently if you love God, your
• 11:15
  family, your freedoms, you are a hate crew.
• 11:18
  So now they say, oh, and they're on Southern Poverty Law Center.
• 11:22
  So they say all these negative things and, and the school board
• 11:25
  members will read it at the meeting and people don't know
• 11:30
  otherwise, you know, but this a this is right now the Marxist
• 11:34
  call me this playbook, you know, call out the people that you
• 11:38
  don't like what they're saying and make them the bad guys say
• 11:41
  that they've done something wrong and everybody thinks, oh,
• 11:43
  they must have done something wrong.
• 11:45
  And when they start to see people, you know, disappearing,
• 11:49
  then they're like, oh, well, they, they must have done
• 11:51
  something wrong. And I don't want to disappear.
• 11:53
  So it's all bullying, intimidation.
• 11:55
  And it's happening in our own country.
• 11:57
  And people don't realize it because they think how that it,
• 12:00
  that it's duplicated in the same way every time.
• 12:03
  And it's not, you're not, you're not going to see the trains
• 12:07
  going to, to Auschwitz again. This time you'll, you'll see
• 12:10
  different things like people having their homes taken away,
• 12:14
  people losing their jobs, or they're having their, their
• 12:17
  companies shut down because of COVID and, and they come up with
• 12:21
  all these new ways to intimidate, bully people.
• 12:25
  The mom who was arrested in Colorado while her daughter is
• 12:29
  crying at the at the swing set because she took her daughter
• 12:33
  out to the playground and COVID lockdown.
• 12:37
  The mom who had her home, her door knocked down with a
• 12:41
  battering ram by the FBI for asking questions.
• 12:44
  I mean, I can tell you story after story after story, real
• 12:46
  stories of people coming after us just because we're standing
• 12:51
  up for our children and our freedoms.
• 12:54
  And it just, it's like really and just common sense truth and
• 12:57
  common sense. So you can tell that this is an
• 13:00
  orchestrated effort to tear down, dismantle the entire
• 13:03
  country and it using the same, the same methods that Hitler,
• 13:08
  Stalin and Mal use, intimidation, bullying.
• 13:10
  They the the specifics might be different of how they're doing
• 13:14
  it, but it's the same thing that they're doing.
• 13:17
  For each woman, you're doing such a good job.
• 13:20
  So I I aspire one day to be on the Southern Poverty Law Center
• 13:24
  hit list as well as the ACLU. And I congratulate you for for
• 13:29
  me reaching those milestones. Apparently we are over the mark.
• 13:35
  We're making, making a difference.
• 13:37
  It's it's just ridiculous when they, they start shoving you in
• 13:40
  with, you know, people who, who really should be looked at as
• 13:45
  not good members of society. I mean, you when you put us
• 13:49
  against Antifa and Ku Klux Klan, you're like, seriously.
• 13:52
  But the, the irony is Antifa isn't even on the hate lists.
• 13:55
  They can blow up the country and, and and terrorize people,
• 13:59
  but they're not considered a hate group.
• 14:01
  But we are so I I just said the the absurdity of the whole
• 14:07
  entire thing. But I have to tell you it when
• 14:10
  you know that you're over the mark, it gives you a sense of.
• 14:15
  Empowerment. To know that you are in the
• 14:17
  right direction. It kind of is.
• 14:20
  And and you know, the devil never sleeps and so we can't
• 14:22
  sleep. And my whole goal is to wake up
• 14:24
  every morning and put the fear of God in Satan because I'm
• 14:27
  awake. And, and you know, anytime they
• 14:30
  stay, it's like the, the, the movie Goris Gump where Captain
• 14:36
  is it Captain Dan, Lieutenant Dan, Lieutenant Dan is hanging
• 14:39
  from the, from the ship and, or the boat.
• 14:41
  And he's like, you know, and I, I'm like, I'm like, not today.
• 14:46
  So anytime the fiery darts come, it's just not today, Satan and
• 14:49
  carry on and, and, but to be surrounded by people in our
• 14:54
  organization and moms all across the country who thought they
• 14:58
  were alone. I thought they were the they
• 15:00
  were. Are they we the crazy ones?
• 15:02
  No, you're not. And no, you're not alone.
• 15:04
  And if you're seeking for that support, encouragement right
• 15:08
  where you are and across the country in this massive network,
• 15:11
  we invite you to join us. We are the ultimate mom support
• 15:14
  group and and we welcome anyone, moms, dads who want to stand
• 15:19
  together to protect our kids, restore the Republic, defend our
• 15:24
  freedoms. So there's a righteously angry
• 15:27
  mob listening to this right now, as many of them are, because my,
• 15:31
  my fans are really in your court.
• 15:33
  So what? What do they do?
• 15:35
  What's the next step to be a threat to the devil?
• 15:38
  Well, first of all, we have to be informed and I will tell you
• 15:41
  that that three years that I was under the tutelage of God was
• 15:43
  the most empowering, encouraging, fascinating thing
• 15:47
  that I have gone through because I got my history and heritage
• 15:50
  back. We've been, it has been stripped
• 15:52
  from us, our history, our heritage, everything that that
• 15:55
  makes us who we are as Americans and the light to the world had
• 16:00
  been stripped away from us. They've taken it out of the
• 16:01
  textbooks, they've taken out of the schools, they've taken out
• 16:03
  of Public Square. And so, and it's all about hate
• 16:06
  your country, hate your neighbor, hate yourselves,
• 16:08
  connect from your parents. That's the whole thing.
• 16:10
  They're teaching kids now fluttered with a little bit of
• 16:13
  actual education, but it's mostly indoctrination.
• 16:15
  Moms need to know that. And I'm not saying to we need a
• 16:19
  mass exodus. Well, OK, we probably could use
• 16:21
  a mass exodus for public education, but I'm not calling
• 16:24
  for that. What I'm calling for is that
• 16:26
  moms realize the powerful influence that you have and
• 16:29
  grandmas and that you need to be at least as much of an influence
• 16:33
  in your child's life as the world is, because if you aren't,
• 16:37
  you will lose them. So that's the most important
• 16:40
  thing is you realize how powerful your influence is.
• 16:44
  Next, how how do you exercise that power?
• 16:46
  Well, you need to understand who we are as Americans.
• 16:49
  What is our history? What is our heritage?
• 16:51
  I encourage everyone out there to get involved in the cottage
• 16:54
  meetings. You can do it in your own home.
• 16:56
  You can do it online. We have live cottage meetings on
• 17:01
  Zoom that we do throughout the year.
• 17:03
  And then we have presentations that have already been recorded
• 17:06
  that we downloaded that you can download and listen as you're
• 17:09
  walking the dog or getting walking on the treadmill, you
• 17:12
  know, whatever. Driving the kids to school, turn
• 17:15
  it on and you will be amazed. What we hear most is that it is
• 17:20
  life changing when you get this information back.
• 17:23
  It is so empowering. You're like, Oh my gosh, how did
• 17:25
  I not know this? And we help them understand that
• 17:28
  your rights come from God, not government.
• 17:31
  And and that is an empowering end of itself.
• 17:34
  And all of the presentations are all wrapped around moms and, and
• 17:38
  how we think and what we care about.
• 17:40
  So every presentation gives you a little bit more understanding.
• 17:45
  And then we have is 12. And then we have the Healing of
• 17:48
  America, which is a 16 part series which talks about, you
• 17:51
  know, what is the constitution? Why do we have the constitution?
• 17:53
  What happened to our Constitution and how do we get
• 17:55
  it back and, and it's all done in a way that's very relatable
• 17:59
  to moms and it's it is truly, truly empowering.
• 18:03
  That is where those are the two things I would start with
• 18:05
  immediately understand your power and influence.
• 18:07
  Educate, inform yourself on on who we really are as Americans.
• 18:11
  What is America about why it's worth fighting for and then
• 18:13
  you're going to want to fight, but you but the spirit will
• 18:16
  guide you and how and how you do that.
• 18:19
  We, we have moms who I mean, if all you do is just learn what
• 18:24
  America's about, share that love of liberty and the hearts of
• 18:27
  your children and vote, we win. If that's all you do, we win.
• 18:31
  And as we're checked out and we need to check again.
• 18:34
  But then in addition, you know, if you want, you can start at a
• 18:38
  liberty kids group, A patriot kids camp.
• 18:41
  You can start a, a book club. We have the the Cottage Meeting
• 18:46
  book Club. You can, if you want to, you can
• 18:49
  run for office if you decide that that's where God's leading
• 18:52
  you or you can help those who are running.
• 18:55
  There's so many ways that you can get involved.
• 18:57
  But gosh, if you share the story of America with your kids every
• 18:59
  night for 30 minutes, holy cow, you are laying the groundwork
• 19:04
  for the future of our country by small and simple things.
• 19:08
  Great things happen, and that's all we're asking is those small
• 19:11
  and simple things. And if each one of us takes that
• 19:14
  small little part, the ripples are immeasurable and the impact
• 19:19
  will be monumental. I feel inspired.
• 19:22
  What what? What is your religious
• 19:23
  background, Kimberly? I am a Christian, of course,
• 19:27
  like I most of most of most of the moms in our group are we
• 19:30
  have Jewish Mamas. I don't think we have any Muslim
• 19:35
  Mamas per SE, but that doesn't mean we don't.
• 19:38
  So it's really just having having a faith that will that
• 19:43
  will transcend you and your and your personal nature.
• 19:47
  But most of us are are Christians and some denomination
• 19:52
  or another and that deep rooted faith of understanding,
• 19:58
  compassion, religious freedom, our founding fathers recognized
• 20:02
  that and it was extremely important.
• 20:05
  So having a Christian background of belief in Christ is, is
• 20:09
  living a Christ like life, whether or not you're you're
• 20:11
  Muslim or Jewish or believe in him or not, certainly can't go
• 20:14
  wrong if you follow his example. That's all.
• 20:18
  That that is my goal, but I do want to make sure that people
• 20:22
  understand most of America is not a religious organization.
• 20:25
  It is also not a political organization.
• 20:27
  It is a principle based organization.
• 20:29
  And those principles are the founding principles which were
• 20:32
  the foundation of God, freedom and family.
• 20:36
  So what? What is your vision for 10X
• 20:39
  saying? Your impact?
• 20:44
  Well, I have a great vision on that one.
• 20:46
  So, so I have, we're a franchise model.
• 20:51
  We set up our organization like like a franchise.
• 20:53
  And if you set up a McDonald's and you have, you know, 2000
• 20:57
  customers to frequent your store, the, the, the corporate
• 21:01
  headquarters of McDonald's has no idea who those 2000 people
• 21:04
  are. So the franchise model is, is a
• 21:07
  good model for multiple different reasons, but being
• 21:10
  able to connect directly with each member and in that, in that
• 21:15
  audience that that franchise network is that's difficult.
• 21:19
  So we have come up with an incredible plan that is going to
• 21:24
  make it much simpler for mums to find us and to find their local
• 21:29
  group or to start one. And it's called the Mum's Town
• 21:32
  Square and it is and final development and should be ready
• 21:38
  by around October, November timeframe.
• 21:40
  And it did. That is going to be like a
• 21:42
  massively 10X because now these moms are going to be able to
• 21:46
  more broadly connect across the, the universe.
• 21:49
  We call it the moms of America universe, but also get connected
• 21:53
  where they are and all of the training resources and
• 21:56
  everything will be so much more readily available to them.
• 21:58
  We'll be able to reach so many more moms.
• 22:01
  So the impact that I'm most concerned about is how many moms
• 22:05
  we're reaching and how many moms we're supporting because that's
• 22:08
  really the role of the national organization is to provide the
• 22:11
  support, encouragement and resources that those moms need
• 22:14
  to be effective where they are. And we provide them with
• 22:17
  resources and and support that they wouldn't get anywhere else
• 22:21
  if we weren't there. So that's I feel are are the
• 22:24
  deepest most important action item that we do is reach and
• 22:29
  support those moms. Well then, thank you, Kimberly.
