  SPEAKER_01: I appreciate that introduction.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: I sound wonderful.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: But listen...
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's going to take all of us linking shields,
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: linking swords,
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: and fighting to protect children in our beautiful United States of America.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: It is.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: And so I welcome the opportunity to open some eyes with you.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Tiffany.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Your First Amendment rights were obviously violated.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: When your time was up,
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: you went and sat back down,
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: but for some reason, they sent the bailiff over to walk you out.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: So what was going on in that situation?
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: The reason why you got Well, that's a great question,
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: and it's happened before, but not with three police officers like in Houston.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: But I always try to read the book A Court of Silver Flames because it's very popular
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: and it's the
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: And in fact, book number six comes out in October and book number seven comes out in January.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: So get ready for even worse books to appear on the shelves.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: I was reading, and the vice president of the school board was in charge that day.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: She starts gaveling me down.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Stop, stop.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's inappropriate.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: I said, I agree.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's very inappropriate.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Why is this on the shelves for And she said,
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: if you say one more word, I'm going to have you escorted out.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: So of course, I had to continue reading because there's more to read.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: But listen, the truth is that they do not want the parents to hear.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: What the children are accessible to.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: They don't care about me reading.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: There were no children present.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you also read that I have sued the Houston ISD for,
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: of course, infringing my First Amendment right.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: In the lawsuit, believe it or not, Myth cannot get any better than truth.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: In their documentation of rebuttal against this lawsuit,
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: they came out and said that they were forced to remove me because they had
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: to protect children in their school district.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: So my response?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Most of that is really you have to protect children in your school district.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Is that only in school board meetings or does that also pertain to the libraries?
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: Because that particular book was in three libraries the day I read.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: I checked earlier this week.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now they've added it to six more high schools.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Shocking.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm trying to get an investigation started through the Texas Education Agency.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Something has to be done.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: We can't just sit down and take it.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: I agree.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: So how long have you been in this fight to protect children from perversion
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: in their school districts and libraries?
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: And Lano County is actually one of the most read counties.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so in June of 2021,
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: these two friends of mine came up and they're like,
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Bonnie, Bonnie, we found some bad books in the Lano County Public Library.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, well, what could it possibly be?
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's what my mind was.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the questions I asked myself were.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so I have to tell you,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: I give people a lot of grace when I'm talking about harmful books and they're like,
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: look, So that was in June of 2021.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: I actually didn't see my first picture until November 10th of 2021, a few months later.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: I was getting my hair cut and the young lady who cuts my hair said,
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: have you seen any of the bad books?
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, no.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: So she whips out her phone and she shows me a picture that she had on her phone.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: And my head started on fire, literally.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: And that was the book Genderqueer.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: And that particular picture you may be familiar with.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a picture of a blowjob.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: I hope I can say that.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I just couldn't believe it that we had that book on our shelves accessible
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: to children in Llano County.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I asked her to send me that picture.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: And she said, I cannot send you that picture.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be sending pornography.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's an illegal offense.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so I said, okay, put it on your phone.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: And then with my phone, I took a picture of the picture on her phone.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: And I raced home and I crafted an email and I sent it to every pastor I knew,
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: every parent I knew, every business owner, and the county judge.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: So, of course,
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: when I call them the seven Democrats from Llano County started getting involved
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: in this and they kept going to the commissioner's court and threatening to sue if
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: the books were not returned to the library,
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: they were actually not removed from the library.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: They removed 17 books from the children's section to the adult section.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: In that area,
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: we had a very nice little children's section with beanbags sitting right in front of
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: the shelf with really bad books on the shelf.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so I was involved in that.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: I sent that email.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: I blind copied everyone.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: When these seven people who ended up suing Llano County and suing me personally,
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: they sent a FOIA request, a Freedom of Information Act request, and asked for...
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, God has placed on my heart the need to open eyes on this topic, and everybody's busy.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: We're all busy doing our thing,
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: working,
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: getting money,
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: paying taxes, you know, trying to raise a God seeking, God loving family.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: But yet we need to know what the libraries are having accessible to children.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I was sued in April of 2022.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: In May of 2025, we received a glorious ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: The Fifth Circuit is over Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: And basically what they said was, Kyle Duncan wrote, he's one of the justices there.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: He wrote a wonderful ruling.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: And my favorite line from that ruling is, take a deep breath, everyone.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: No one is banning or burning books.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: If you cannot find a book you want at your local library, you can always buy it for yourself.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what this battle is all about.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's about taxpayer-funded filth.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's amazing, right?
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: In 2026,
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: there are still quite a few parents who are not sure about what's going on in
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: the school districts.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: And like you, I feel called as well to open eyes.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: I will go and stand in the boardroom and...
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think you and I don't consider myself a provocateur.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: All you're really
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: The truth is revolutionary.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: People are wanting to start riots over the truth.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: And the fact of the matter is, this is pornography.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: And it's so evil that you had adults who sat down and actually drew We are in a time
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: where children are being treated horribly in the United States of America.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: They are being attacked.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: They're supposed to be trusted adults talking to them about this.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: Well, then what's to stop a stranger from talking to them about sexual things
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: and they find
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: it normal?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: You're speaking my language.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: You're so right.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, I'm working on an article right now that I'm trying to express a lot
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: of those thoughts that you just articulated.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the interesting things was Dan Patrick is Texas Lieutenant Governor.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: And he invited me on his podcast about, I don't know, three weeks ago.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so I went on the podcast and,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying the normal things that I'm always shouting from the rooftops.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: That podcast was like at 625,000 the morning of.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: So six days later,
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: he called and he said, I want you to be at a news conference that I'm going to do.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: He said, the amount of views tell me that people are very concerned about this issue.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: And so he held a press conference.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that because of the press conference, a lot of people probably viewed that.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: The Houston Chronicle, one of the reporters from the Houston And I said, wow, just two?
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, yes.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: I said, which two?
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: And one of them is called Night by Elie Wiesel, which is about...
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, do you know those books?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, yes, yes, of course I do.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he said, why are they on your list?
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because they don't have any sex in them.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, well.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's true.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Knight has a Nazi soldier raping one of the Polish girls.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: Technically, that's not why it's on my list.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: And he asked, why is it on Dan Patrick's list?
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, this is not Dan Patrick's list.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is Bonnie Wallace's.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a list that I began creating as I was reaching out to more parents
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: and they were reaching out to me asking,
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: What are the names of some of the books we need to look for?
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so I thought, well, I need to create a list, right?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: Someone needs to.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: And so I started creating a list.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: The list also has other harmful things on it that don't include sex,
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: but I I would say 92-95% is very graphic sex.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: The book Night, I encourage every adult in America to read that book.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: It is a fantastic book.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: But there are two elements that came to mind when I was talking to Lawrence Mower,
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: the reporter from the Houston Chronicle.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: And the first is that,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you're familiar with the book,
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: but as the trains arrive at the concentration camps,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: the Nazi soldiers would just go up and grab the kids,
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: the infants, out of their Jewish parents.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so what I told him is,
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: you know, I'm 59 years old and those images are really just hard to rationalize.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: I do understand the Holocaust happened and everyone needs to understand it
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: and be aware of it and fight for another Holocaust never to happen.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: But there is an age limit where this harmful contentment.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Substack, The Myth of Education Podcast, mythofeducation.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: And so, I
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: rest my case.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: You know, that's what I'm trying to avoid.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: The second book, The Giver, the graphic novel, wasn't bad enough.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: They create sketches, drawings of the images.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: And in that book, a family, a mother and father...
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: A couple have babies.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: They have twin baby boys.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: And for whatever reason, they're only allowed to keep one of them.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: So they have to figure out which one to let the doctor kill.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: So they decide that the one that was...
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: So the doctor comes forward toward the baby,
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: and you see the baby in the foreground and the doctor walking to him in
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: the background, and he's holding a syringe.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: And he's also holding a vial of something.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: And he sticks a syringe in and he fills up the syringe.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then he walks to the baby and he touches the baby's forehead.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: And he sticks the needle into the forehead and injects the serum, whatever it was.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: And the baby dies.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: He then picks up the baby and it's just this limp corpse.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And he puts it into a box.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: And he shuts the lid of the box.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: And the box is labeled waste.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Trash.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: So what I told that reporter is,
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: why are we eroding the value of human life, the value of babies?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, listen,
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: it doesn't surprise me because society wants to kill babies in the womb or out of
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: the womb.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: But I said, don't you want to write about any of the other books?
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, oh, no, ma'am.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: These two are the books that I'm concerned about.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: The other very interesting piece of information about the author of the book from
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: the Holocaust, his name is Elie Wiesel.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: He lost his faith in the concentration camp, begins to rail against and basically hate God.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: And so I wondered to that reporter,
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: is this also a reason that you're so desperate to keep these books?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: They glamorize and trivialize killing infants and they show a man who hates God.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: And so, listen, we were not paying attention, Tiffany.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: We were not paying attention to what was being inserted slowly into our books,
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: but now I'm wide awake and my eyes are wide open and I will keep shouting from
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: the rooftop all of these things and hoping that we can get an article written.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're getting up there.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: They're the ones that are going into schools or malls or places and killing other people.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because we have just eroded the value of human life in the minds of our children.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: We need to do better.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: To your point, we recently had a little kerfuffle in my school district, right?
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: We had the NAACP show.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: And the accusation against our board was that because of our no DEI policy
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: that books were being banned, which is a lie.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: The truth of the matter is there were teachers who brought it to the attention
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: of some board members that there was graphic content literature.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: And so everybody is trying.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: I opposed it.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I gave a history lesson during my public comments last time.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: I said, since you want the students to know the truth,
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: telling the truth that those slaves were sold by other Africans when they came here.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: This is the truth of the matter.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: And then I was talking to another friend about the same situation.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: When you're in Sunday school, did you learn that David cut that giant's head off?
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: Or did you just know about the rock?
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: And most people are like, yeah, we just knew about the rock.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: Once I got older, I think I was an adult, actually.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_01: It was probably after I got saved when I read the whole Bible
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: that David actually cut the guy's head off.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: And then I said, what about Samson?
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: Did you know that his eyes got gouged out or did you only know that his hair?
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, in Sunday school, you only hear that the hair got cut.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: So there's even graphic things in the Bible that at a certain age you don't teach
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: that to little children.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: And listen, these activists, they're not dumb.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: They know exactly what they're doing.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think that you are so right.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: The denial of God,
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: coming against God,
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: hating God, that is something that they want to impart to the children.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is the devil's work.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: We are the voice for parents who don't want the backlash,
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: for educators who don't want that backlash.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: They see how we're treated standing up for kids that are not our own.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: They probably feel cornered and intimidated.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm always quick to tell parents just because someone has an EDD behind their name,
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know, PhD, that doesn't make them an expert on your kid.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of superintendents,
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: you look at their degrees and it's like organizational communication or something.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: It has nothing to even do with education.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just the field that they landed in.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: So unfortunately,
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: I know you agree with this,
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: we have a lot of people in charge in the education field who do not care about kids
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: or families.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: They are there to run a business and continue to have us pass those bonds
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: and overrides so that they have their Yes.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: Amen to that.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: All of that is exactly right.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: And I would say one other thing.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: For a long time, I was what I call a lukewarm Christian.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I thought I was saved and maybe I was.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I would go to church religiously every Sunday and I would worship God and praise.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: And at the end of that hour, I would say, bye, God.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see you next Sunday.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: Have a blessed week.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, can't wait to see you again next week.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I was not carrying God into my life.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_00: I was not carrying God into my home.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: Into my personal decisions, into my walk.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: I thought I was, but looking back, I was an infant.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: If I was a Christian, I was an infant Christian.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: And actually,
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: the churches are filled with these kind of people all the time,
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: every Sunday, you know.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: The churches are exploding, but people are not walking with God.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: And
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: so I meet with a lot of superintendents privately and they're really, really shocked.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'll read books and they'll say, oh, Ms. Wallace, that book's not in our school.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll say, well, you know what, grab your laptop.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we've asked the librarians and they're telling us we don't have any harmful stuff.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, well, the definition of harmful can be very innocuous, right?
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: But in defense of some of the school administrators,
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: superintendents,
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: even school boards,
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think they really don't know what's in there either,
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: which that's what makes it very...
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: Very powerful when you go to a school board and you read content from that district.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now listen, I prepare for weeks before I go to a school board and I'm ready.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: I know which book I'm going to read, which is always the worst they have available.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I will still check the morning that I speak.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'll check because guess what?
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: In the past,
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: I've had a book removed just once,
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: but that was enough for me to say I cannot damage my own credibility by choosing
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: a book, even if they pull it five minutes before I arrive, right?
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: The only way...
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's horrible, and it's in so many schools.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: That book was the first book I ever found.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's by two authors.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: The disclaimer states,
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: the authors and publisher expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: which may result from the use or Application of the information contained
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: in this book.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: Right below that,
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: random house children's books,
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: which tells me they understand what they're doing is harmful to children.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: They understand it because otherwise, you know, this was Mary Had a Little Lamb.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they wouldn't put a disclaimer on the publisher's page.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: And by the way, it was only the first book I found with a disclaimer.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: I have found 12 other books with disclaimers.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: One is the book called Trans Plus.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: You might be familiar with that one.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: And listen, it's for 12-year-old children, just like Let's Talk About It.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: Let's Talk About It was the 12-year-old book of the year,
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: great graphic novel of the year in 2020.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: Transplus is for 12-year-old children.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so they know what they're doing is wrong.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Those 75 QR codes take you to very, very bad places.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: One takes you to the nearest orgy.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Why is a 12-year-old going to the nearest orgy?
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_00: This can't be real.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Cannot be real, but it is.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so that disclaimer says that the publisher is not responsible
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_00: for websites outside of their control, but they know that there's
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, we have a lot of work to do, but no one else is going to do it.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: If not us, then who?
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_00: If not now, then when?
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: God tells us we are to stand and be watchmen on the wall.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's just an honor to be a Watchman on the Wall with you.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I love it.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you saw this, but it's your school district, so maybe you did.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: I want to say about a month ago, there was this enrichment teacher who went viral.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: He was exposing the fact that he had some seniors in his class.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: And I think the high school was Wheatley High School was what the report said.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: They can't read on grade level.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: They can't write on grade level.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_01: But yet the district finds it appropriate to have these kinds of books on the shelves.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: To your point a moment ago where you were saying that,
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: you know, board members and administrators don't know what's on the shelf.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: I maybe give that the benefit of the doubt if this is the first term of
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: that board member or if this is the first term of that administrator
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: in this district and maybe they came from a district where that wasn't a problem.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: But once you get a little further into your conversation,
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Whether as a public servant or as an employee in the district and you're continuing
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: to receive complaints from students,
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: from parents,
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_01: from taxpayers,
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: community members, and they're saying, hey, we don't want our money spent this way.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: We want reading intervention,
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: not These nasty books,
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: I would argue that even adults shouldn't be reading that stuff because it turns you
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: into a predator if you sit and look at it long enough.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_01: But what are your thoughts on the situation with the reading and writing,
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: the basics being so low in your district?
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think it all goes hand in hand.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I think when we stopped our children from having access to books that encourage,
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: nurture, and lift them up, and we started just bombarding them with dark,
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Deep, demonic content they stopped wanting to read.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is all over the course of, I don't know, 20 or 30 years.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: And so we've taken away some of the books that we read.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_00: And by the way, I'm 59.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: I read books that had difficult topics in them.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I read books about the Holocaust,
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_00: not the books about throwing the babies in the air and massacring them
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: with machine guns.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_00: But I The books that are available to kids now, almost just so many have rape, graphic rape.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so you're going, why do we need rape scenes in every single book?
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: We have books about really graphic Drug Use, Tricks, and Crank by Ellen Hopkins.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_00: The book Tricks tells children,
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: because these books are written for 12-year-olds,
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_00: they call them young adults, by the way.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: What's a young adult?
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, technically, a young adult is an 18-year-old.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: You're adult and you're young.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: And on their website is 12 and up.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: So either way, a 12-year-old or a 13-year-old is not a young adult.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: And yet, these books are written for, quote, young adults.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so they have so many dark and demarcations.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_00: So the book Trix by Ellen Hopkins.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: Trix tells the 12 or 13-year-old,
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: the young adult, not to smoke crack cocaine, that they should inject it into drugs.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, we need to do better than this.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_00: We need to be telling kids,
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: don't do drugs,
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: don't smoke weed,
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: don't do any of that, because it just erodes their value, you know?
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm saying that your potential gets diminished, decreased when you're relying on drugs.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: And by the way, that's alcohol too.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's pornography.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's also an addiction.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: And so we need to give our children books that nurture, inspire, encourage, and uplift them.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: We can't find any of those in libraries these days.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: The content that I have, it's horrible.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: There are books...
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: That are prohibited to prisoners in Texas,
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: yet they sit in elementaries,
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: junior highs, and high schools all across Texas and all across America.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: And so we have to do better.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_00: The books that are prohibited to Texas There's five reasons.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: There's more than that, but the five reasons that I focus on have to do with sex.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's sex with animals, sex with dead bodies, rape, incest, molestation.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the five reasons.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: We have thousands of books prohibited to prisoners sitting on shelves accessible to our minors.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: And what I say in a school,
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: if I go to a school board and I'm reading one of those books,
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: I conclude my three minutes or two minutes of testimony by saying,
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: why are the minds of hardened criminals in Texas prisons better protected than
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: the minors in your school district?
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, I'm hoping that God can use my words to open the hearts and minds of school boards.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: I know that only God can do that.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Only He can change a heart of stone and give those people a heart of flesh.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_00: But somebody has to speak out.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: We have to do more.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: We have to stand and we have to fight and God multiplies our efforts.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so here I am, Lord, use me.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we are the front liners.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_01: No problem speaking against evil.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_01: I highly recommend that people have a relationship with God before they get
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_01: into this because that is...
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_01: I was like,
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like, man, I yelled for that whole three minutes.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_01: I was angry because I just I couldn't believe it.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_01: Before I started working there,
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: it was like, oh, in California, in New York, there's the drag queen story hour.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_01: There's this or that.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, OK, well,
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_01: those are two of the most liberal states in our union,
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_01: Colorado, Minnesota, those being some others.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_01: Surely, you know, Arizona, we're a little purple here and there, but surely this isn't going on.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: As widespread as I thought and it was like oh no yeah it was and then the fight over
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_01: the bathrooms.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: Another point that I wanted to make is that
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_01: the libraries are quickly becoming like this safe haven for those nasty books
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: because what we are finding out is that there are a lot of States
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_01: who don't have legislation,
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_01: they haven't figured out a way to codify or regulate what's in a county library or
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_01: a city library so much as the school grounds.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_01: That fight that you're going through just seems so out of place based on all of
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_01: the We really need to get the focus back on making sure
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_01: that children are functioning in society.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_01: These are our future leaders.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_01: We don't want
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's right.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: And we're grown up, right?
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_00: Our brain is fully formed.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: But these books are being focused,
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: purchased with our tax dollars and provided to our children
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: whose brains are not fully formed yet.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that part of that goes into why they don't want to read,
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: why kids are not reading anymore.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: They're making all these graphic novels.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: They're taking actual novels that used to be just words,
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: a novel, and they're making into graphic novels.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: So they're redoing those books with just sketched images of evil.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: Each concept, each topic that the book is representing.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: And there's actually adult graphic novels.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_00: That tells me that even many adults do not read well or do not read at all.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_00: I was at Midland School Board a few months ago testifying,
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_00: and there were two young ladies that testified that day that had graduated.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_00: Both of them had graduated from Midland School District.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: And both of them said they could not read.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_00: And they were just reclaiming their innocence to the school board and saying,
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: why did you graduate me if I could not read?
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because we are sending out our children incapable of doing so many things
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_00: because they cannot read on a basic level.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: I was at a dinner with our state board of education chairman a week or so ago.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: And he mentioned the percentages of children in Texas who could read
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_00: on their grade level, and it's something like 32%.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: That may not be quite right.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's in the 30s.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: But think about it this way.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of saying, oh, 32% of our children read at grade level, why don't we say 68% do not?
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: We're failing in such a grave manner that If a child can do explicit math,
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: really great at math,
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_00: they can go on and parlay that into pharmacist or many things, engineer, whatever.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_00: But if a child cannot read well...
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_00: They cannot really succeed in life, whatever their career is.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_00: We are harming them in so many manners,
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_00: and I believe part of it is because of the filth,
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_00: the crap that we're placing in front of them.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: They don't have a desire to go to the library and take a book home.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: When I was a child,
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: many years ago,
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: I would go to the library every Friday,
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: and I was allowed to take three books home every Friday.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_00: And man,
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: I would just go through all the shelves and find books that I loved reading and
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: that lifted me up and nurtured and encouraged my mind.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_00: We can't really point kids to very many of those books these days.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_00: In fact,
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: you were talking about like the sex relationships that kids have with their teachers
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: or teachers have with the students.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_00: There are so many books.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: The one I always talk about,
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_00: and it was on display at the press conference
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's also written for young adults,
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: so 12-year-old students,
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_00: and it's about a 12-year-old boy who starts getting groomed on the first day
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: of sixth grade by his teacher.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_00: And it goes into great detail the graphic sex they're having.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_00: She has him watching porn videos and then teaching him what the porn videos are doing.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_00: She teaches him how to do those things.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, this is not the type of content that we need to be purchasing.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: I do not want my tax dollars buying this for children.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_00: Or donating.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: We should not be accepting donations of that stuff either.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_01: I think there's some plausible deniability if you don't have committees
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: in your school district,
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_01: if you don't have someone that's reviewing it because the librarians and
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: the administrators over that area of
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: the education system can probably They probably say,
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: well, we didn't know about that.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_01: They probably just mass accepted donations or made a mass purchase.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_01: They weren't looking at every title.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so it is really important for even if it's just a few people to make sure
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: that those titles get reviewed and that there's also Yeah.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_01: So he wants to put chaplains in K-12 schools with the front lines that we do have.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_01: We are making some progress.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: So we have had the bill requiring a school to debate whether or not to put chaplains
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_00: in schools.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think for at least a session in Texas,
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_00: our legislative session is four months every other year.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it goes really quickly in those four months,
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: thousands, like 10,000 bills are debated and filed and.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, we try to carry them across the finish line, but it's really, really difficult.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_00: And people say, well, that's good.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_00: We don't want our legislators working more than that because they mess everything up.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's part of it.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_00: But it's really hard to get really good bills across the finish line.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_00: We have a lot of problems, not only in schools.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_00: We also have a big problem in our churches.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_00: And you can look at someone like James Tallarico and see the problem.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_00: And the Bible tells us,
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: especially in the book of Jude,
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: which is right before Revelation,
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: and I think not a coincidence, but in the book of Jude is only one chapter.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_00: And so in the sixth verse, it talks about letting evil come.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know,
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_00: here we are because we've got the James Tallaricos of
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_00: the world spouting all his nonsense about God being a non-binary individual.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's not true.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: When Jesus taught us to pray, he taught us to pray to our followers.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_00: Not our mother or our non-binary being.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: No, our father.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_00: And so the Bible is very clear on a lot of things,
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_00: but Satan followers, and listen, a lot of people are following Satan.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: And even Satan in the Bible,
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: he would quote part of the scripture and try to lead people away from God.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_00: And here we are in this day also.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_00: So in Lano County, we debated our school board whether or not to allow chaplains.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_00: And a local pastor from the First Baptist Church who has
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: a newspaper article every week published, you know, and he thinks he's so godly.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: He got up and he testified that we should not allow chaplains in school because he said,
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: And so,
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_00: if there is a chaplain that maybe is not even preaching true 100% gospel message,
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_00: God can use that in the hearts of the humans.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_00: So we, they voted it down.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: Our school board voted it down.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: And so we do not have chaplains in our school, but
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_00: In Texas, it became a law a couple years ago.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_00: I have a great bill that I hope will become law this coming session.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: I think it will.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_00: It died on the very last night of the last session.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: The gentleman, Daniel Alders, a representative from the Tyler, Texas area.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: He carried it and he's called me several times like, let's do it.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_00: It is for public libraries,
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: county and city libraries,
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_00: and fines them $10,000 per book for books
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_00: that they are advised are sitting accessible to minors and not appropriate.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_00: And the libraries decide to just go ahead and leave it there.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just a new find.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_00: I go in and I find a book and I sue.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, that's not it.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: It is if you were told about it,
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: if you as a library,
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_00: you were told about it and did nothing and left it accessible to a child,
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_00: then you can be fine, $10,000.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a fan of that concept and I'm ready to get back and work on that bill again.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_00: Many people don't even know that there's an election.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_00: That election has statewide between a 3% and a 5% voter turnout.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let's flip that around.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like I said on the The other issue,
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_00: that means that 95 to 97% of voters,
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_00: registered voters, do not vote in those May elections.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: So we have to do better.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_00: We need to have those elections for bonds.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_00: We had three schools...
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_00: That held, and all three passed, billion dollar bonds this election.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_00: Billion with a B.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: What are we doing?
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_00: We are sending our children out for bonds that they will be paying for for the next 50 years.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_00: No, we have to do better.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: Much better.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: You got to stir up those disengaged voters.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize that your legislation met so seldom.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't imagine not having a session every year as we...
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I haven't been following legislation, unless it's parental rights related.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just always dialed in with school boards.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: But I did have a meeting this past week.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_01: The guy that's running for our attorney general was there.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_01: Several others from the Arizona Department of Education were there.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_01: So I was really...
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_01: Transgenderism.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_01: Screaming for help,
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_01: cutting themselves,
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_01: breaking chains they were so strong,
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_01: convulsions,
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_01: epilepsy,
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_01: all of the things Jesus was addressing,
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_01: healing and delivering people from, those were spiritual things.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_01: But here in the West, we medicate everything.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_01: This is a spiritual battle.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_01: This is not just about seeing that content in the libraries.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_01: But behind that, you have people in school districts who are doing the devil's work.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_01: And they will probably say that you and I are fanatics for believing so.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_01: But what else can you call it besides demonic that someone would prey on a child?
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_01: No, you're 100% right.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_00: The pharmaceutical companies,
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_00: Big Pharma, is very involved in all of this tragedy, which is mental illness.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_00: My daughter is in medical school.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: She's a third year,
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_00: halfway through this Friday, she'll be halfway through third year medical school.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes I show her these books.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, babe, you know, they call this anatomy.
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, ma, that's not anatomy.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_00: That's pornography.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'm aware.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_00: But they call these things mental illness.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: The thing about Let's say transgenderism.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_00: There is no such thing.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: I agree with you.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: But it is perpetrated on the children by people that they admire and respect.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: Many of them are teachers,
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_00: counselors,
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_00: they're in the schools,
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_00: and they're Substack, Myth of Education Podcast, mythofeducation.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_00: The teachers,
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_00: not all, listen,
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_00: I'm painting with a broad brush here,
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_00: but so many teachers are telling the students, oh, you're born in the wrong body.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you can be happy if you pretend to be a girl, pretend to be a boy.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_00: They just laugh.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_00: We've seen the suicide attempts by transgender children.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_00: Or even grown adults by that time.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_00: And they are higher than the kids that are not transgender.
• 42:51
  SPEAKER_00: We're not allowed to say that, right?
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_00: We're not allowed to tell the truth.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_00: Again, it's like being gaveled down in Houston ISD.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_00: And so they obfuscate with all kind of other data.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_00: But in the end,
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_00: the minds of our children have been co-opted by people
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_00: who do not have their best interests at heart.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_00: And our children need truth.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_00: We do not need indoctrination.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_00: They do not need moralism.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_00: Pornography or drugs or all of these things,
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_00: that dark demonic content that I was talking about earlier,
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_00: that's what our children have been given.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_00: I started in this battle in June of 2021.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm Beyond five years now, and I didn't realize how bad it was.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_00: I found 17 books in the Llano County Public Library, sent that list over.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_00: Those were all relocated to the adult section.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_00: I immediately checked the Llano County High School that my daughter had graduated
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_00: from A few years before that, they had actually worse books than the county library.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_00: And it really surprised me.
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't do anything about it, though,
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: because I was now in a lawsuit in Llano County Public Library,
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_00: and I didn't want to be the face of this problem elsewhere in the school.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I prayed for two years,
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_00: literally,
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_00: to Dear God,
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_00: send me a partner so I can equip them and inform them and engage them in
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_00: the high school.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_00: But he didn't.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I think finally he actually wanted me to do it also.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_00: So I started going out.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, well, but I have 100%.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: And I said,
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: are you telling me that you recognize that children who have not even been conceived
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_00: yet will graduate?
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_00: And they acknowledged, yep, that's what it meant.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_00: They were not in any hurry.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the problem with Lano was that two school boardrooms,
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_00: Elementary school librarian is still married to a school trustee in Lano ISD, sadly.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: There's been some pushback, but not as much as from the high school librarian.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_00: Lano High School has removed 513 books that I know about.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: Many on these lists that I have and many that I read,
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_00: the one that I was reading at the Houston ISD,
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_00: A Court of Silver Flames,
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: they had in Lano, and they had all the other four books also in that series.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_00: And so listen, when I tell you this, I have not found one clean library, not one clean library.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_00: The very worst book I've ever read is called American Psycho.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_00: That book was made into the movie.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_00: When it was made into the movie, it was turned into a love story.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_00: 82% of the sex...
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_00: And all the cannibalism were removed so that that movie could be rated R.
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_00: But what that means is a rated X movie or XXX movie still sits in high schools.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I also found that book, American Psycho, in Hillsdale College.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_00: So that may surprise you.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: It really surprised me.
• 46:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought I could get it removed from there.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_00: My husband and I are donors to Hillsdale.
• 46:45
  SPEAKER_00: And nope, they kept that book.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I thanked her for replying to me.
• 47:03
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, I would be very interested in knowing what curriculum this supports.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: And she never replied to me,
• 47:10
  SPEAKER_00: but I checked periodically and that book is still sitting in Hillsdale College.
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: We've stopped donating to Hillsdale College and I don't necessarily use this as
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_00: a teaching moment for many,
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: but with you,
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: Tiffany, I said,
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_00: you need to know And the reason is because Hillsdale College obviously is
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_00: a university and most of their students are not minors.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_00: But what I told them is this,
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: whether your students are kindergarten students or college age students, Mm-hmm.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_00: That book is the worst book I've ever found.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_00: There is no excuse for that being in any institution of higher learning, period.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_00: Genderqueer, A Court of Silver Flames, let's talk about it.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_00: They can type that in at ratedbooks.org and see images for a couple of them or read the content.
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is a real battle and it is a battle,
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_00: a spiritual battle for the minds and hearts of our children.
• 48:49
  SPEAKER_00: And so how can they get involved?
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_00: They can start right there at ratedbooks.org.
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_00: They can find my book list at recoveramerica.com and download my book list or view it.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_00: I have not found a single clean library.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_00: That means that Satan has a handbook.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: I encourage your listeners, your viewers, take the next step.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_00: You may not have children in your community.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't, but I'm still fighting.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_00: My daughter's in medical school, third year.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_00: She's 25.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_00: She'll be 26 in November.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not doing this for her.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm doing it for other people's children.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: We all need to be engaged in that.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_00: We're watchmen on the wall.
• 49:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's be watchmen on the wall.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_00: That means we have one hand with a paintbrush and the other hand has a sword.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's what the Bible tells us in Nehemiah.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get busy.
