#623 The Emperor Has No Clothes: Gender Ideology, Young Men Rising Up, Protecting the Innocent!! · Claymore: Become Who You Are

• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Tom, it's good to be with you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: How are you Good to be here Doing well?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we've been encouraging young people, especially young men, tom, for quite a while, and the insanity that these guys are growing up in, this toxic culture that they're growing up in.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It's amazing to me that they actually can wake up out of this thing and they're saying something's wrong.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: They voted for Donald Trump in bigger and bigger numbers and they're looking for answers.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: One of the things that's the craziest thing in the world and I think that one of the easiest things really to point out is the insanity of these trans issues what they're doing to the kids with this literature.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You wrote an article.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I think I'll pull this up, tom.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Here's your article what Happened in Deerfield School, district 109.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You want to talk just a little bit about that?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there was a.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: The allegation is that two or three administrators of the school, of this Allen B Shepard School, had forced girls to change in front of a trans girl, which is a boy, in the locker room.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Now that's disputed.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know who's telling the truth.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they forced the change in there or if they didn't.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: But the bigger issue is this idea of trans children being allowed in the locker room of their identity.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: There is a direct conflict between the way the federal Title IX has been interpreted by the Trump administration and the Illinois statute.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So it's a very complicated set of laws that have been around.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: But essentially in Illinois, somebody who identifies as a woman can use a woman's bathroom and locker room.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: That's the law in Illinois, right?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So for the young guys listening to this, tom.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: So Title IX in essence was put in place many years ago to really make it, to balance it out and allow girls to compete in sports, especially at the college level, protect women so that they had a place to compete.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And the insanity that you're describing is that now we've let men into this right, reinterpreted Title IX to say that if a man just because it's in my head that I decide tomorrow to be a woman, that I'm a woman.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: This is the insanity.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And so here's what we have.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: We have men now competing with women and beating women in all of these different sports.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: This is how nuts it is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: The Title IX was originally put there so that women had a space to compete with women and now men have taken over that space.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And you can't make this stuff up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Well, and now it's not only that, it's that men can now go into women's locker rooms and walk around in the showers with them, and walk around while they're.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: While they're, they can walk around completely nude in front of all these other you know we got to remember now this is an elementary school that that article that I just pulled up with yours and I'll put the sub stack, I'll put that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'll put it in the sub stack.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But I mean that specific one in deerfield was these are young kids and, uh, in its insanity now, why parents, you know, will allow this stuff to happen without being enforced.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Look at if, if one dad goes to a school board meeting, he's going to get picked off.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We've seen this over and over again.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But if we go in mass to this thing, if 50 dads show up, that's a different story.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But we don't have the courage, tom, or we don't care.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reason I'm saying this is the young men listening to this today.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They know something's wrong and we have to start to stand up as men when we do this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Do you have any idea, tom, when dads will start to really stick up for their girls?
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know why men and women for that matter are not energized to be able to show up at these things, but they're not.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: The activists on the left are passionate about their cause and they are actively engaged in trying to fight for their cause.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Those of us on the right are indifferent.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: They're just not showing up.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: In Deerfield, they had two different meetings that addressed this issue.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: They had two different meetings that addressed this issue.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: At both board meetings, the people who were pro-trans outnumbered the people who were opposed to boys in girls' locker room by a significant number, and there was a significantly more pro-trans people who spoke than those who were in favor of keeping the boys out of the girls' locker room Now.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: So it appears as though that the number of people that promote this idea vastly outnumbers those conservatives like us who are opposed to it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And yet, really, it's an 80-20 issue and the 80 is on our side.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing that we all know and young men know this too that there's just mass propaganda Right, and the mass media covers this thing now.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So these people that are pro-trans, which is insanity first of all.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So what we're talking about is insanity and it can't happen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: It can't happen by science.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's an issue that most young people that are even confused about their sexuality will grow out of.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You know, 80 to 90 percent plus, if left alone, will grow out of it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yet we push this stuff so hard.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But talk just for a minute or two, tom, what they're doing to get those kind of crowds there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a proactive organization that bring people in, that bring these activists in, and they look for chances like this to show up in force.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how they do it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a few large organizations in the US that wind up organizing these things and they kind of like act as an organizer of multiple little small little groups to get everybody to go out and appear in mass at different events to support each other.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: For example, one of them one of the major organizers in the United seen so far this year against Tesla dealers, against Elon Musk, the anti-Doge stuff that you see all over the city.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: They had a demonstration that was really backed by Indivisible Project down at the Lurie Hospital when they stopped doing gender-affirming care for kids based on actions by the Trump administration.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: And so Trans Up Front of Illinois, the same one that wound up being involved in Deerfield, was the front organization, but really behind the scenes it was more this indivisible project that got everybody together and they have like a billboard that all these different groups publish when their event is going to happen and they all support each other.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: It might be climate change or on the anti-dose stuff, but they'll still show up and provide support to others in some area that they don't have a.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: For young men listening to this, tom, and we're getting more and more young men listening to our show right and trying to address these issues with them, trying to show them.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You know we have to take back the culture.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: We've got to take back our own hearts.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: But you know the insanity of this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: A small group of people we've seen this over and over again, we see it in Canada, we see it in Australia, we see it in Europe can take over with the help of mass media and a lot of money, can take over and really start to indoctrinate.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It's when I'm talking to the average person.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They have no clue on this stuff.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: You know, they think that there's something wrong with somebody that's against this now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because it's really.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: There was a story written by Hans Christian Andersen about this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: You know, the emperor has no clothes, and this is one of those issues.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: This is one of these things where it's a mystery to anybody that has any knowledge of biology how you could be fooled by this, because this is absolute insanity.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And here's what they're trying to do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Look, first of all, this is satanic evil stuff, right?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing how evil can come into a culture and try to change the culture.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: We've seen this over and over again with all kinds of things.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Right, you'd say, okay, well, why?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Why is this?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You know, this is the issue that if you believe this, that a man can be a woman just because I think it, you know, a man can be a woman just because I think it, you know, and I take a few puberty blockers and then get onto cross-sex hormones, even get my body mutilated.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We still haven't changed anything.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: And here's the point where you know that you just made with.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The emperor has no clothes.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You know, jordan Peterson said this.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He said if you swallow this camel, if you could swallow this lie, there's nothing else you can't swallow, right, exactly, and that's what they're doing.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: You know, if, if our culture, if the people in our culture, will swallow this lie that's so obvious they will swallow anything and unfortunately, that's what you're seeing well, that's what we are.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: We're seeing that, although I think think we're seeing that more in the propaganda than we are in actual belief, because, like I said, this is an 80-20 issue and the 80% are on the sanity side, 20% are on the insane side.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how many of these people on the 20% side buy it, buy it, but I don't know if they're just doing this to try to live out their own personal fantasy, or if they're just, or if they're trying to do it as a means of controlling everybody else.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I hope people go to the polls again and continue to vote.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And again, I don't.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You don't buy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned, you don't have to vote Republican.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You vote for the person that's against this, these crazy ideologies.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: There's Democrats that are against it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to vote Republican.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: You vote for the person that's against these crazy ideologies.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: There's Democrats that are against it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know there's people who are really there's.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: A significant portion of the gay community is against this.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I want to share something here with Jay Budashara, and he's the head of the NIH.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Now, last year, tom, we were talking about Rachel Levine, and so this was a man who dressed as a woman, who was in charge of our mental health.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: For our country, we bring in a new director of the NIH, the National Institute for Health, a very astute, sane doctor, and he's talking here about gender dysphoria.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Well, he was actually canceled.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was canceled.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So was he from Princeton, but anyways, he had a great voice right from the beginning.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He saw the COVID, he saw these gender ideologies, he saw all of these things and he's a great scientist and doctor.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And so he was canceled in the beginning, just like so many people.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But look what happened now, with Trump coming in, he is now in charge of the NIH.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So let's just play this little clip about this gender-affirming cure which Rachel Levine, with the Biden administration, was pushing down our throats the vast majority of young people that are confused about these issues today for a number of different reasons you and I have talked about in the past.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And he's pushing the trans-affirming cure, and now we have a sensible doctor.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So talk to me about these studies and what you want to do in your position regarding gender affirming care.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: So there was an HHS report that was absolutely fantastic, rachel kids.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Was that if you don't do it, if you don't block hormones, if you don't do essentially changes in your surgical interventions, that the kids were going to commit suicide?
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: When you look at the evidence, that actually turns out to be very, very weak evidence that says that In fact, the opposite is probably true.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: And, of course, the idea that hormone blocking, all these surgeries are somehow reversible is also false.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: So, ethically, why would you do something where the evidence isn't good?
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Do you have any benefit and you know they're going to be harmed?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Now that you're a friend, so talk to me about the these.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So there's, there's Dr J.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Any comments on that?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Well, he's returned sanity to our health system.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: It's amazing to me that the United Kingdom of all places the Supreme Court in the UK five to zero, ruled five to zero, that there's male and female and that's it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: It's based on biology.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: They just recently did that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know when our Supreme Court's going to do it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, we got one justice that's going to vote against it, so it's definitely not going to be nine and zero.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it shows you when on almost every news station.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yet Look, my wife watches some mainstream news, she's got it on when I walk downstairs and she'll ask me a question and I'll answer it and she'll say, well, I never heard that before.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Give me an example.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So it was about this deportations and I showed her a clip of the amount of people that were deported, illegals that were deported by Obama and the Bush administration.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It was amazing how many you know and Trump has not got a chance to get anywhere near those numbers that were deported.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: There have been almost 250 cases filed against him in his first 100 days.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: And Obama was well over 3 million that he deported and with no injunctions against him.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And my wife didn't believe it because she's just watching this mainstream media.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't believe it because she's just watching this mainstream media and so I put it on for her a clip yesterday and it showed how many were deported and it was nuts and she has no clue, right.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: So here you have Dr Jay Bhattacharya coming out and just telling the reality of the science and we all knew this already.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: We knew that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: We knew this three, four, five years ago and again canceled with the Biden administration.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: It just shows you again, tom could be an 80-20 issue, but you can be canceled and everybody's fearful, I think, of standing up and we push this down on our kids.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So now our kids are so confused and these young people coming up through the schools.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: It's really sad what we're doing to them.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Well, the thing that's so crazy about this is that the whole idea of this transgender movement, this transgender care, is the result of research done by one guy.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: One guy, and that was….
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: John Money huh.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, john Money and his research was fraudulent.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: The two kids that he had as the subjects of his research it was both of them are dead.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: One of them committed suicide and the other one died of a drug overdose.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you cannot make this stuff up, can you?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: So why would you follow research that's based on two people whose life was destroyed.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Speaking of this, I'm going to show you one other clip, and then I want to go to the book that you and I were talking about.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: This doctor talked about being canceled.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So here's a whistleblower coming out of a, out of a facility in Texas where they were doing this gender-affirming cure and operations on young people, and he was canceled.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: He was almost put in prison for 10 years.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Again, you could see the danger of this when these rogue governments like the Biden administration are just corrupt and just pushing these ideologies down on the nation.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Well, they can take and weaponize our DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, which they did, and just create chaos, tom, and suppress the 80% with the 20% that will go along with this stuff.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: My name is Eitan Haim.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I'm a general and trauma surgeon.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I was the anonymous whistleblower who exposed Texas Children's Hospital the largest children's hospital in the world for lying about the existence of their transgender program, a program that would manipulate, mutilate and sterilize healthy young children.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: The reason I'm here today is because, for exposing this truth, my own government manufactured a case to send me to prison for 10 years.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Dr Heim, can you just share.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Why did you decide to speak out against gender reassignment practices at Texas Children's Hospital?
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: So the reason and that's a really important question, because you know what would animate a person to risk his entire career, blow the whistle about something like this and it was because all of my experience working with children at Texas Children's Hospital which is an amazing hospital, by the way they have some problems in their leadership.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: What the doctors do, what the nurses do on a daily basis is amazing.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: The reason is because I understand and I've seen the effects of what these blockers do, what these hormones do and what these surgeries do.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: They are destroying the lives of these children.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: They are putting them down a road where they become a chronic medical patient that they can never come back from, and especially the surgical complications.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: So the reason I wanted to bring up that clip, Thomas, because this isn't just talk, is it?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: No, you know so well from studying this stuff what we're doing to our kids.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well, it is insanity and corrupt and criminal.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Well, it amazes me that they would actually try to bring a case against this guy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, they brought a case based on HIPAA a HIPAA violation which he didn't identify anybody's names.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He's just talking.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: He just talked about hey, they're saying they're doing one thing and actually what's happening is something quite different, and they tried to get a criminal case on him.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: It's such a clear case of an attempt to prosecute somebody for political reasons, because this issue of the transgender care has become totally politicized.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: It is a political issue, it's not a scientific one, and for groups that are out there saying, well, we need to follow the science, well, there's no science behind transgender care at all.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: There's nothing that supports it, and so I don't know why this is an argument.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: No, and we could talk and we will and we have in the past.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: We could talk about the COVID vaccines, we could be talking about climate change, we could be talking about any other number of issues, and I don't want to go all over the place today, but again just exposing the lies.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: If you get away again from reality, from truth, from who we are as human beings, you see a real nefarious and this is not going to stop and this is spiritual warfare.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Well, this trans ideology has actually taken over much of our culture here in Illinois, in New York, in California, in Minnesota and some other states.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: These trans laws have become so ingrained into the legislation that it's almost impossible to unravel them.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: We're going to need a new Alexander to come in and hack the Gordian knot out of existence, because it is a literal knot of laws in Illinois that supports this trans ideology.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And not just the law, but there's a, not just the written law, but there are court cases in Illinois, in the Illinois appellate court that supports this allowing boys and girls locker rooms.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so let's bring up now the education part of this, because what's happening is we've given up on actual education in the United States you brought up right before we came on.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: There was a time not so long ago, before the 60s.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it changed in the 60s, where education we've lost our vision so much.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Young people don't know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But education was a part instilling virtues, instilling how should I live, what type of a human being do I become, how do I treat other people and that's all been stripped away.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: And these ideologies, especially the gender ideologies, have been promulgated in the schools.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Well, in the United States, generally, the virtues that we promoted were those were the Judeo-Christian virtues.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Those are not any different than some of those from the ancient Greeks, so it's universal virtues that were promoted in the schools.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The Greeks, the Romans, confucius, you know, I mean the Buddha taught a lot of this stuff, right.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: So you're right.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I mean these are timeless issues.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: How do we treat each other?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You know, love God some higher power at least and then love your neighbor.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And that's our point with when I was talking about these radical Muslims, that it's not just the individual Muslim, because I do know some wonderful Muslims here in the United States, but they are assimilating into the American culture, you know, and if they go to some kind of mosque or something, you can't just be violent, you can't be just there to dominate and take over our culture, and unfortunately that's what's happening in all over Western Europe and in Scandinavia too.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about what we're doing to young people right here in school.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: So I want to show you.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Here's a book.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about this book, tom yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I got that book.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: It's really, it's one of those.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Tell our young people that are listening.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, they may have seen this already, but this is a book that they're using in colleges.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: They're using in some high schools, I believe, now.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, high schools and even younger.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: This is one of these books.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: It's won some book awards and even younger.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: This is one of these books.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It's won some book awards.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: The author has been hailed as this really excellent writer and her stories tell the story that kids need to know about being queer sex at young ages, about abuse.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Can you?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: read this on the top here it says I don't know if it comes out too small, but sexual themes including minors in second grade secretly engaging in overly sexual acts in school bathrooms, classrooms.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Children engaging in appropriate sexual behavior with adults, including parents, as well as distributing uncomfortable description of children watching parents engaged in sexual acts, and so this is something that they're bringing into the schools.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Bringing it in because instead of writing in prose, she writes in poetry.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: It's not non-rhyming poetry, okay, so it's like a stream of thought really.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: It's a stream of emotions talking.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: You know the way she writes these things.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: It's really poorly written, but these so-called experts think it's just great.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: But these are the same experts that are educating children to not be able to read or do math.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, here's the thing.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So when I'm speaking to authors now the uh authors that write for young people they say they can't get published unless they put these sexually explicit uh themes into their books somehow that they say don't even send it in, if you don't have this, we're not going to, we're not going to get published.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: So he's brought up education here.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I got one more clip I want to show.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Let's see, here we go.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: You know this one, tom Yep.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Why don't you explain to our listeners who aren't from Illinois what we've got going on here?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And, like you said, we're not the only state.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's 80 schools in Illinois where not a single child in the school has grade-level proficiency in math and there's 24 schools in Illinois where there's not a single child has grade-level proficiency in reading.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Nationally it's less than 50% of both.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: It's really worse in math, worse for math than it is for reading, but less than half of the schools in the country turn out kids that are proficient, grade level proficient in reading and math.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Now, this is a pathetic thing, and the reason, I think, is because we've gotten away from the classical education that had as a center of its teaching a core of virtue and character building.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: They have people reading things like Everybody, looking instead of classical books, even modern classics like To Kill a Mockingbird, aesop's fables for little kids.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if the young men that are listening even know what Aesop's fables are Probably not.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Because their parents probably didn't read it to them, Right?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You know the point being, each one of those had a theme, didn't?
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: it, it was a character building or you know some kind of virtue, and it brought it out through the book, right?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, courage by story, or, yeah, or you know, trying to figure out Kindness.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, you know helping someone.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: And so these were instilled, these were read and these were the part of the literature that we were reading.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Books, you know, the Chronicles of Narnia, these great books by CS Lewis.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: You won't see those anywhere near a school today.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if they know what they are, but anyways, the point being, everybody had education in their mind in the 19th and even the early 20th century, knew that you had to instill virtues, you had to bring good literature in.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: But our education system has been purposely overtaken by Marxists.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And for the young people that are listening that don't understand that, tom, this has been a dumbed-down education system on purpose, easily, but then indoctrinated with the sexuality and their actual, their innocence stolen, their moral imaginations obliterated.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: And this has all been done purposely.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: And yet, tom, these young men especially are standing up in the most toxic culture, and you can see that the human heart is made for something else, and I think we need to be there to encourage them.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Well, one of the problems is that if you can't write clearly, you can't think.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Explain that a little bit.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Well, in order to be able to look I can have in my mind, I sit down and write something.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I can have in my mind, an article that might make a lot of sense, but then when you start writing everything down, it doesn't add up.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: You have to make things add up, you have to justify things, you have to back things up.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: This requires thought and logic and reason to carry out, and if you can't write clearly so that somebody else can understand it, you can't think and so you don't have the ability to read something and say, well, this doesn't make any sense Because you're just taking things at face value.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: You read something by this Candice Ilo, everybody looking, and you think, oh, this is great, she's talking about a string of feelings that she has.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I can understand that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Well, no, you don't.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: You're really not understanding anything of her story.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: You're just hearing words.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: There was a time we understood well that knowledge was not just more information.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Knowledge is to really know reality.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: To know reality, to understand reality and knowledge of who we are as human beings meant how should I act?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: How should I act internally?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: What kind of thoughts come into my mind and heart?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: And then how do I go outside and act?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: And now we're told you can act any way you want, do anything you want, and when you get to that point you lose your humanity.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: We see this in the way we're treating each other.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: There was a woman sitting next to this young boy.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: So it was a large black woman sitting next to this young, small, maybe 10, 11-year-old white boy and the boy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: They're on a bus and the boy is just looking out the window and this woman just keeps elbowing him hard and nailing him and just picking on him the whole trip.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And she's on camera and she's been investigated now.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: But just my point being just the meanness, just the meanness, and this all comes out of that critical race theory that they're pushing down on these kids.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: You know, all of these things are really damaging, trying to divide people, and the reason I even brought that up is, you know, when we start to look at each other again as just a different color and whacking this little kid just because he happens to be white or yellow or green or purple.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: You know it's just sad, tom, what we're coming to and these young men still they're waking up and saying, no, I want something more, I want something different.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: And I think, as men and women, we got to start modeling this stuff in the older generations.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Quit being so stinking wishy-washy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It's just a bunch of cowards.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: When I look around, you know when I saw this, when COVID came on, they said put on the mask, take this shot, do this, do that?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Stay locked down, stay six feet apart.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget being in the airport when they open up the airports again.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: The whole time on the background, I heard these announcements Stay six feet apart, stay six feet apart, keep your masks on.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: As soon as we got in line for that airplane, everybody crunched up next to each other.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: They put me right next to a person where my shoulder is rubbing his shoulder.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, people are eating.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: They're pulling their masks down to eat, right, and nothing mattered anymore.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And it was all a facade, tom, it was all a lie and a lot of bologna yeah, I don't even know how these people can look themselves in the mirror.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Fauci and Deborah Birx and all those people.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: It's just so disgusting what they did, tom.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: They're disgusting, right, they're disgusting, but they were at least out for money, power, whatever it was.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: You know, who's really got me was all of the people walking through the airport.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: The average person didn't have the courage to do anything.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I remember being in a Costco.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't wear a mask, and I'm in this Costco and I was the only one without a mask on, and this lady comes by me with a mask, pushing her cart, and I thought she was going to yell at me.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Right, we got used to being yelled at if you didn't wear a mask.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: And she said thank you, thank you, and and I'm thinking, yeah, well, you know, that's nice of her to say thank you, that I'm standing up, but why doesn't she do it right?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: No, anyways, tom, unless we I again, I guess my final message unless you, uh, really have a belief higher than ourselves.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, you'm going to call it a Christian belief, a belief in Jesus Christ.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Pope Benedict XVI, the pope before Francis, said that at first, when you take God out of your culture, out of your life, out of your marriages, he says everything goes along like it did before, like it didn't make any difference, and then it doesn't.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: So there's a little lag time just because I throw God out of the culture and we threw prayer out of the education system, out of schools, and at first, for a couple of years it didn't matter, but now we're way past that, tom, and now it matters a lot.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Same thing in the culture.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Now, it's just a totally depraved set of values that they're teaching these kids.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: At first, when you take God out, tom and again I bring this up to these young guys that are listening because at first, when we put God back into our hearts too, there's going to be a battle.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Now and the battle is on, tom.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: You know, GK Chesterton is so beautiful.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: He said look, if you're all floating downstream, you don't even notice it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Right, you're swimming with that proverbial frog and slowly getting indoctrinated and you don't even notice it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: He said it's when you stand up against the current, that boom.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Now you start to feel it and that's what happens.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: That's where these cancellations are, that's where these young guys that are standing up and I want to encourage them, tom, and I think you and I on today's show, just let's encourage these guys and say look, you're not insane, there's insane things happening around you, but you're going to have to get a toehold and you're going to have to go back and learn how to pray and read scripture and et cetera, et cetera, because it's when you encounter the truth that you see, wow, there's a lot of lies going on, and the more you encounter the truth.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You know the truth is what people need to look for.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: It's like the.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: It's like in one of the people they say that kids are supposed to learn about in the gay community is Harvey Milk.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: There's actually a ship, naval ship, named after the Harvey Milk USS Harvey Milk.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: This guy was a drug dealing, child molester, who was a political operative of Jim Jones, and yet they're honoring him and thinking that, oh, this is a great guy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: He was not a great guy.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: He's not somebody that anybody should be honoring Tom.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: There's a ship, there's a Navy ship named after him.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, uss Harvey Milk, I would like to be on that ship.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you know.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, do they put what gay sailors on there, or what do?
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: they do, I don't know, Unbelievable.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: We got to get that name off of there.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got to get Trump to do that right.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: It's just absolutely.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: It's an trans.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Ideology has ingrained itself into laws.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: These are narratives that have infiltrated into our legal system.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: That are lies.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: They're contrary to the truth.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: There's no truth in them.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Thomas.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Our time is up, my friend, so say goodbye to everybody and we'll call it a day.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Huh, okay, hey, thanks everyone.
• 35:56
