Ask Dr. Drew - TikTok Ban: A Trojan Horse Threat To Censor Dissent On Rumble & X? Kali Fontanilla on Kids Online Health, Homeschooling & Education – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 338

Episode Date: March 25, 2024

China knows TikTok is dangerous. They’ve banned the American version of their own app from the country. So why should the USA allow China to control a direct pipeline to the brains to American kids? Some experts say it might be MORE dangerous to ban the app, saying the proposal is a “Trojan Horse” that would give extreme censorship powers to the government that could never be returned to the people – and used to suppress dissenting voices and social media platforms like Rumble or X (formerly Twitter). Kali Fontanilla is a former public high school teacher of 15 years. Her rebuttal statement to Prop 16 in California helped to stop the push for legal reverse racism and a new extreme version of affirmative action in 2020. She wrote the guide for the BLEXIT Foundation to expose the dangers of Critical Race Theory. She has made guest appearances on the Ingraham Angle, Dr. Phil, NewsMax, and the Dennis Prager Show and featured in several national newspapers. Her educational and political commentary videos on social media have accrued millions of views. Kali and her husband have launched a fully accredited online school called Exodus Institute to support parents who want to pull their kids from public schools.

We are going to get into some new territory again today with Kali Fontania. She is a firebrand, been out there quite outspoken. You can follow her YouTube at Real Kali, excuse me, K-A-L-I. Fontania is F-O-N-T-A-N-I-L-L-A. Also though, thinkexodus.org. She'll tell you more about that. This should be a very interesting conversation. she was formerly a public high school teacher 15 years now runs homeschooling homeschools um and has some very strong opinions about her experience having been in the

educational system particularly in this the great state of california which guess what a little problematic uh we have lots of great guests coming up. I'll tell you about that after the break. We'll bring Kali in here in just a second. So stay with us. Our laws as it pertains to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin.

Ridiculous. I'm a doctor for f***'s sake. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time.

Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want to help stop it, I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. Let's talk about aging because everyone wants to know how to slow it down. For almost a decade, I've been taking a healthy aging supplement called TruNiagen. This supplement boosts NAD. That's something that cells can't live without. It's done with a patented form of nicotinamide riboside called NR or Niagen. It's more efficient and more scientifically reviewed than NMN or other NAD boosters. TruNiagen is truly the best way to

boost NAD levels. And it's made by Chromadex. They're the gold standard in the NAD space. Dr. Charles Brenner, the scientist who discovered the NAD boosting potential of NR, explains. And the center of the metabolism that allows the conversion of food into energy is NAD coenzymes. And NAD gets disturbed in the aging process. And as we're exposed to conditions of metabolic stress, Niagen, which is the form of NR that was developed by Chromadex, is the best and the only fully legal form of NR. And this is really the gold standard for NAD boosting vitamins. I love this product. I urge you to try it.

we've got a lot coming up there have been some Desmond, Matthias Desmond has been tossed around today as somebody we're putting on the schedule so this is a great great great guest on our way and as I always say today is no exception Kali Fontenia, former public school teacher

the thinkexodus.org as you can find some of her materials. She is at Real Kali Fontenio, where you can get her information. And in addition to homeschooling and the short followings and the public education, we're going to talk a little bit about TikTok and its effect on young people. So generally, we want to kind of talk about what is influencing young minds today. Please welcome Kali Fontenio. Welcome. Hello, Dr. Drew. You were influencing my young mind

when I was a teenager. You are like a lullaby in your voice. Putting people to sleep. I was a Loveline listener. Putting people to sleep for years. No. That's good. Yeah. That's so funny. KOME in California, I was listening to Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla on Loveline every single night, falling asleep to your voice. So if I fall asleep during this, I'm just kidding. It's my fault. I understand. Yes.

But KOME was our second or third affiliate we at one time were just in California that's the San Jose station that serves that greater area including some of San Francisco and it was K91X in San Diego it was KROC in Los Angeles

and then KOME up there and I always screw up his name, the host of The Voice. So everyone help me, guys. Carson. Carson Daly. Carson Daly was a disc jockey up there.

Do you remember that? In the afternoons? And I went up there like the first week or two he was on the air ever. And I was his first on-air guest. And everyone now knows who carson daly is but kome had a big impact it was one of those original alternative radio stations um from back in my life so but anyway my whole course my whole course in life was changed when

i tuned into kome yes tell me why it was either k don or, why? It was either K-Don or KOMI. And I was either going to go the rap route, the pop route, or like the alternative rock route. And when I was 12 years old, I tuned into KOMI and the rest is history. Isn't that, that's really interesting. People don't appreciate how much radio impacted people's, young people's experience. It was how you defined yourself. And your story is really kind of a good example of this, right? These are two different cultures and you attach yourself to one, define yourself by one.

And your friends would listen to the same radio station. You'd go to the events by the same radio station. In fact, Susan, you went to an event at, there's an outdoor stadium there that KOME used to have a big concert festival at every spring, right? What city? San Jose.

The kids came with us when they were little, remember? And they came out and Adam announced that they were the Hansons coming out to play. So, oh my gosh. This is where we're going back in history. All right. So talk about your experience in the public system, what happened, what your story is, people that haven't heard it, and where you are now. Yeah, I am a former public school teacher of 15 years.

So I taught my own generation, millennials, And then I switched to teaching Gen Z and millennials. They were, they were interesting to teach my own generation. And then Gen Z they're very moldable that I think that's the reason why there's so much censorship is Gen Z is, is you, when they know the truth, they're very on fire for it.

But when you give them a bunch of false craziness, those kids are also on fire for that. So, yeah, I loved what I did. I taught the English learners and the students that were behind in reading. And I started seeing a lot of the indoctrination that's happening in our public schools. And I decided to expose it the last two years I was teaching. And I also taught during the pandemic. So I was teaching online for a year and two months. I mean, I still have cellulite I'm trying to get rid of

from sitting for a year and two months. I mean, it was damaging what they did to shutting down our schools. Yes. Oh, for sure. Predictably. Yes. I was always a very active teacher too. And so to sit for a year and two months was tough. And yeah, and I decided to leave my tenured teaching position and really expose what's going on. At first I was doing it anonymously. I was sharing lessons that contained critical race theory and lessons that were pro BlackBlack Lives Matter. And I was sharing all

of this kind of stuff that's happening in our public schools and that was not academics, right? Like, let's make sure kids know how to read and write before they learn how to hate white people. But anyways, so I was exposing these lessons and then I decided to do it more publicly and share my voice and quit my tenure teaching position. And that's the rest is history. Did you have sort of an aha moment? Was there, cause there's, um, we have a friend, uh, Kira Davis, who has a very similar story. I used to, I used to interview her on, when I had a radio show back in the day, daytime radio show. And, uh, she said she teaching, taught for years in Michigan.

And she told me that one time she was sitting there with a group of kids going, you can do anything you want, but oh yeah, you kids, you're African-American males. So that's all stacked again. So you have no hope. And then a light went out. She goes, what am I doing? Why am I telling them this?

And is that true? And she started examining it and she went completely a different direction, like much like yourself. But did you have one of those sort of moments where it was like, wait a minute, or did it, was it a grinding, slow awareness? It was grinding. I would say the first time I really was aware that there, that something, that things are switching is when I was in a staff meeting and there was a white male teacher that stood up and claimed his white privilege. And I was like, what is this? I'm like, you know, and then I had this other black female coworker talk about microaggressions and how we need to treat, you know, students differently based on the color of their skin.

And I was like, my first job was in Compton, California. I don't mess around when it comes to my students. I have very high standards. I am not trying to lower the standards for black kids. They don't need it. And then I received a gift for being a black teacher. And that was really where I was like, okay, this is getting ridiculous.

The gift was- It's getting weird. Yes. It's weird. Yes. Weird. Right. Sounds weird. Ridiculous. Yeah. I was right after the George Floyd riots. I received an email from my superintendent saying there was a gift for black teachers. And I'm like, what is this? So I went and picked up the gift because we were still teaching online and it had a black educators matter mask in it and had an, I love being Black sticker. It had the ancient greeting of OTEP. It was greeting me in the ancient greeting of OTEP saying the God in me is the God in you or whatever.

It had a Africa symbol with a black power fist on the tag on the pack. And I'm like, I'm from Jamaica. Like, I don't, you know, trace my ancestry to Africa, but I'm Jamaican, right? And it's like giving, you know, all Asians a Chinese flag or something. You know, it's just, it was really silly. And I was like, and then when I rejected the gift and I started exposing it online because I was sharing this, I said, you guys, I got this. It's like a racist gift basket. I don't know if you know that comedian who gave it. It does sound racist.

It sounds racist and racially patronizing for the very reason you're pointing out. Totally patronizing. I would rather be recognized for my merit as a teacher. I worked for that district for five years, and I did a lot of great work with my students and to be singled out for the color of my skin. And when you don't accept it, then you get treated terribly. I'm like, how does this work? You know, you guys are going to persecute the black woman for not wanting the black gift or whatever. It's just silly. And so there was that. And then there was the lessons that were being given to my students. And then there was the lockdowns and making us teach in masks when we finally came back.

The plexiglass. Do you want to tell high schoolers that they have to walk a certain way in the hallways because of social distancing? I don't want to do that. I don't like micromanaging my students. And it was just this weird environment that they were bringing us back into. And then there was also pressure to get the vaccine. So it's interesting to me that you lump this all together. That's interesting. And so it's funny. I sort of lump it all together that way when it comes to sort of medicine and the excesses. How do you understand what was happening initially?

And then it seems like you related to what happened all the way across COVID what was going on what is your understanding of your sense of what that all was I warned my students when I first when COVID first the rumor started happening because we didn't even have a single case in our city yet when they shut down our schools and I was like we've had other viruses hit our country. Remember Zika, like the shrunken head kids? There was the swine flu that was actually affecting children. I mean, when kids got swine flu,

they were getting diarrhea and vomiting. Well, and then H1N1 was killing young people, killed 300,000 young people. Exactly, exactly, exactly. And so I told my students, I was like, this is not a normal reaction. We have not had this type of reaction before for a disease. I mean, we've always had mysterious diseases that have hit our country. We live in a fallen world. Our world is full of disease, all right? And this reaction was so, like, I've never seen anything like it before.

And we don't shut down our schools. Right. So what did you think as it was evolving? What did you think was happening? What was your thought process? Where did you imagine this was coming from? I think it was, I immediately smelled something because, you know, it was an election year. And I was like, okay, so something's going on. They're trying to collapse the economy.

And the other thing that was so fishy for me was the closing of the schools, because we don't close our schools. We love having our children in these government schools. I mean, we had a gas leak at one of my schools that I worked at, and they didn't shut down. We had the bathrooms get shut down, and they brought in porta potties. This is when I was working in a middle school and they brought in porta potties for us to use the porta potties in the middle schools and they didn't shut down the schools. I mean, it would be it was like a miracle if we did get shut down. It was like, OK, thank God we have half a day off because there was some sort of crazy incident or maybe a kid committed suicide. You know, that was like maybe the one time I saw school shut down was to give kids chance to mourn. But let's take that in for a second.

I think that's absolutely true. You're not speaking hyperbolically. You're saying that this is some sort of paradigm shift, some sort of quantum leap, literally, in what somebody was doing or what happened here with, I don't know how we understand it. And I've always said, I tell the story constantly of watching the Ukrainian women and the children coming into Poland as the Ukrainian war broke out. And the women were all complaining that the kids have been out of school for two weeks and it's two weeks, you've got to do something.

And we did it for two years in California. It's just such, I don't think, your point is really interesting to me because I don't think we've let that really sink in with the kind of astonishment that we should, that this doesn't happen. And you did it without a thought, without a care for what the consequences would be, seemingly.

And two years for a young person is like 20 years for someone that's older. Oh, for sure. I mean, these kids, the seniors that year did not have a proper graduation. We had drive-by graduations where the kids were in cars and um it was it was the psychological like mind mind crap they did to those children yes exactly yeah they did to those children was it's criminal criminal and the ones that really yeah the the the kids that really bought into it, they'll never be the same. Imagine thinking that the way you breathe, breathing, just going outside, you're going to kill an elderly person. That's the type of best thing.

Forget it. If you don't, in this city, you were told to shelter in place or you're going to kill your family. Yes. Kill your family. Exactly. And in the face of all that stress for that middle adolescent age group, particularly what they need is their peers. No, isolate from your peers. And then how about developing the brain? No, we're not going to do that either for a couple of years.

So it's so predictable how profound the outcome would be. And if you were speaking against it, or you were saying, warning about it, you were silenced. I mean, I was sitting in staff meetings where the teachers were so dramatic. They did not want to open the school. So there's pressure from parents that were their parents were like, OK, it's time to open. It's been six, seven, eight months. My students are there. There's learning loss happening.

We're seeing the effects of it already. And the teachers and the staff meetings were like, I don't want to die. And if you open up the school, I'm going to die. And I mean, I'm listening. I'm literally listening to this. And then my district,

they offered an extra $200 to teachers to come back to work. And guess what? That's the same teachers every single day, $200 every single day to come back to work. And California teachers are already paid pretty well, by the way. And that's, you know, teachers complaining about salaries. Not California. I would say it's almost too much.

Anyway, so these teachers, they were willing to come back for money. The ones that thought they were going to die for coming back, they all signed up to get that extra $200 a day to open up the classroom for the last two months of the year. I think it was the last 10 weeks they decided to open. And it was just, I don't know, it was like the twilight zone. I can't even, during that time in California, it was bizarre. Yeah. Oh, no, it was wild. Yeah, I'm with you. But for me, as it was breaking out, I thought it was the press. I thought the press was making, they were so already hysteria prone during the whole Trump administration that I felt like, oh, this is just more of that. And they're doing it to try to capture eyes and make money. And they're getting people. They're hurting people. They're getting them upset. I never imagined that the government was involved, the public health sector would get involved. That, to me, was a surprise.

What did you think at the beginning? Did you just think this was politics? Did you think it was government run amok? Did you think it was this teacher's union trying to get the $200? What did you, did you have thoughts? Oh, yeah. I thought it was all planned. It was all, it was all planned.

Well, you know, I'm, I'm a Christian and, and there's this one guy that I follow that, you know, there's certain people that are kind of in tune with what's about to happen. And those are really good people to pay attention to right now. And this one guy was warning about a global pandemic and that they were going to use it to control us and take away our freedom. And I remember hearing about that like eight or nine years ago. This was a while. I've been listening to this guy for a while. Anyways, he was saying that there was this conference in Germany where they planned it. What are we going to do if there's a global pandemic? Because have we ever even had a global pandemic in modern time?

Yes, we have. No, yes, we have. But no one knows about it because that's what they did with it. There was one during the Obama administration. The H1N1 was a pandemic. And that's what I kept saying was we just had one 10 years ago. I got that illness. It was terrible. And it killed young people, not old people, young people. And no one knew it happened because I thought the Obama administration did a good job with it. They kind of managed it,

let the public health deal with it. And they advised us as physicians what to do. And the world had a pandemic and it came and it went and we went about our business. Why we go from that to this, where we were with this one was just, well, it's disgusting, frankly. It was just disgusting. And it was partly to, I mean, there was many, many forces at work. Part of it was the event 201 and the planning and the fact that there's armies of people now whose job is pandemic preparedness. They're hammers walking around looking for a nail.

And trust me, when that nail popped up, they started slamming things down. And there we were. The only thing I don't know in retrospect, and I've brought this up a number of times is, and I've asked this to a few people that are kind of in the know in the intelligence community, is it possible that there was something about this virus that they knew it was produced in a bioweapons sort of fashion, and they were worried it was going to have more consequence than they were letting on, or that it could morph,

it was designed in such a way they could have neurological consequences downstream or mutate into something more serious later. That's still a question that remains unanswered for me because then their behavior seems like, okay, well, they were desperate and they were trying to do what they could. They really had some very, very, very serious concerns about what could happen here but so far

no one has told me that so well it's just crazy to me that are even experimenting with these vaccines like that because you really don't know how they're going to affect different person of course population yes ma'am and yes ma'am and the other thing is the movie Contagion. I don't, have you seen that movie? So that was predicted. Yeah, it's, it's, it follows along the COVID narrative almost perfectly. It originates in China. They said it came from animals, right? Came from a bat and they had, and then there's these terms that I've never heard before in Contagion that we now are very familiar with terms like social distancing. It's in the movie Contagion wearing a mask in the movie Contagion. There's a conspiracy theorist guy that goes viral who speaks against the vaccine and he ends up getting arrested and he's exposed as a fraud, right? So this is all in this movie Contagion that came out i think in 2011 or somewhere but definitely before

the pandemic so there's they were they were gearing us up for this they were they were getting us ready susan we have some homework to do we got to go watch you heard about that i know i heard about it yeah and yeah teacher has giving us some homework. It's good. So watching a movie, that's good homework. So, so there's this, there's where you started and you gave up your position and what happened? You ended up working on homeschooling. How did that all happen for you? I am still, I'm still upset that I'm not a public school teacher right now. In fact, I went into a little bit of a depression last year just because I miss it so much.

I'm trying to find who I am again because I was in front of students for 15 years and this very competent teacher. And then all of a sudden, I lost that. And I'm like, where's that girl? I don't know where she is. No, I know what you mean when you're when you're when your identity and your worth and your meaning is all tied up in your profession and somebody does something to it that's no good that's not fair but but on but I'm guessing and I'm going to predict I'm going to predict that somebody like you will will find some other creative growth where you one day will go, well, I'm glad that happened after all.

Yeah. Well, I ended up opening my own school with my husband. So we have Exodus Institute, which is a K-12 online school, surprisingly. I learned how to teach online. So there was something that's good that came out of that. There's a lot of parents that want to pull their kids from public school, but they don't want to be their homeschool teacher. They don't want that relationship with their child. And so we're meeting that gap. And we're teachers that you can trust. And we're fully accredited.

We have about 180 students right now. My problem is I'm not a businesswoman and I'm not a saleswoman. And that's where I'm learning how to do all of that myself. But that's something that should be taught in our schools. We should be learning how to be entrepreneurs and how to open up our own businesses and how to tax law and all that stuff. But they don't teach that in public school, right? But it's been a learning process to open my own school. But it's not the same as being in the classroom every single day.

And then I just do a lot of stuff on social media. I have a fairly decent following, although I've been banned and censored all this whole time, this last three years, banned nine times on TikTok, full accounts erased nine times. I just got censored. For what? for what? Well, well, Oh, um, so since I've been exposing black lives matter, um, the movement and I've been exposing critical race theory, I get racist comments. So I get racist comments all the time from the left. So they call me a C O O N a house N word, a bed wench, a, um, that I hate myself, hate myself all the time. And so I share these comments and I get violations for sharing the comments. So I'll get my videos taken down for hate speech, even though they're allowed to call me. I don't even say the words and I'll even block them out,

but they take them down, take down my videos. So I was getting banned a lot for that. And then also sharing anything to do with COVID. Immediately videos get taken down and exposing, you know, just exposing what's going on in our public schools with all of the agendas that are happening. And I've just been censored nonstop. And that's very frustrating because my business is directly connected to social media and i think that's what a lot of people are worrying about with this tiktok ban it is that some people that's their whole livelihood yes and yeah our son makes money on it you know he yeah he represents tech tech influencers and i'm you know, that's worrisome. So I have now a million questions, including,

Caleb, do you want to ring in on what the experience was like being homeschooled with, I think you had something like a colleague, did you not? Well, so actually, no. So that's, I had assumed that she was a homeschool mom, but whenever she started talking about this, this is very different from the homeschooling that I was brought up in.

I was homeschooled K through 12. My mother was my teacher. And if there were subjects that she didn't agree with, then she would alter those subjects, especially with history, science. And, you know, it was a very different homeschooling back then than what she's talking about. This is lot more legit now i turned out fine yeah like i i did i you know did a couple years of college and you know yeah right but you know i turned out okay but still it's uh

my experience was very different than the one she's describing and this is kind of i i guess what she's describing is uh this seems so much more legitimate than what I grew up in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She called it Neo homeschool because it's so different. The Neo homeschool movement. It's like almost hybrid where it's like you seem to have accredited professionals that come in. And I, you know, I never even thought of the idea of of, well, what is that dynamic? What would the dynamic with my mother be like these days if my mother hadn't also been my teacher for so many years?

I had never even thought of that until she just brought that up about how some parents don't want to have that teacher-child relationship. They want to be the parent. And I wonder what my relationship would be like if we had had other teachers, but it would give the same control to my parents that they had wanted from homeschooling and the same safety that you would get from not having to go to schools that are, you know, increasingly unsafe with the violence and everything. Is your husband a teacher also? Yeah, my husband is a former English high school teacher. So we're both. And do you have a whole faculty or is it two of you doing the whole thing or how does that work? Oh, gosh. No, there's no way we could do it because it's K through 12. K through 12.

And we have, yes, we have teachers that teach that. We actually teach the enrichment program, which is called Young Patriots Academy. And that is lessons that counter the left. And I call it truth. So lessons like the true history of slavery, lessons like what happened in Venezuela, where I talk about the dangers of socialism, and very objective, very just here's the facts, but I want you guys to critically think this through. I just recorded a lesson on the Quakers and their role in helping to abolish slavery in America. This is stuff that kids are not getting in public schools because there's narratives they're trying to push on these children to make them hate America. And so when you learn about the Quakers and the fact that there was these people that spent time in prison for helping black slaves escape from their slave

owners, these are white Quakers sacrificing their freedom to help black people. It kind of messes up the narrative, right? That it's all, that all white people have white privilege and they're, you know, and so, you know, like, like what about the descendants of Quakers? Do they get some reparations because they were, because they were affected by the slave trade and the, you know, slavery in America. So yeah, lessons that counter the left. And our Young Patriots Academy, which is an enrichment program, is only $29 a month. And that's for parents that want to pull their... Oh, wow.

Yeah, that's for parents that want to make sure their child is ready before they go into college. I've had a lot of parents contact me. That's at thinkexodus.org. Where do they go into college. I've had a lot of parents contact me. That's it. Think Exodus. Where do they go to get that? They can go to youngpatriotsacademy.com or thinkexodus.org. It's on both of them, but youngpatriotsacademy.com. That's for the enrichment. And we just rebranded it. So I rebranded it because it used to be just called enrichment program. And I'm learning. Like I said, I'm not a businesswoman. I'm a teacher. And we decided let's call this

Young Patriots Academy and really get it out there. We have 75 lessons that are on demand. Finish your thought about readiness for college, then I have to take a little break. Oh, sure. Yeah. I want to hear your thoughts on TikTok. What? Yeah, we're going to get TikTok. We're going to get that. We just sort of did. I mean. I want to make sure that kids are ready for when they go to college. A lot of students, I encourage the entrepreneur route. I encourage the trade school route. But there's still a lot of kids that are going to be going into our colleges.

Most of our colleges are very left-leaning. I would say they're radical, a lot of these colleges. want them to be prepared to face their Marxist professor and be able to have good counter arguments and be steady in the truth instead of having their whole worldview shaked. And then they become some wannabe communist or whatever these kids are turning out to be. Anyways, and so I know a lot of parents who regret putting their child in college because of how their child turned out. because of how their child turned out. Yeah, how their child turned out.

And so I want to reach them while they're young. Fifth through 12th grade is our enrichment program. And they're totally ready. These kids are ready and they need it. And I also want them to influence their peers that are getting brainwashed and getting radicalized. So because that's peer-to-peer influence is huge in young people.

And so, if we have a group of kids that are ready to counter it and ready to convince their peers that have been brainwashed by the left, then we're doing a lot of work in that. Kali is with us. The thinkexodus.org is the website. We're going to take a little break. You can follow Kali on X at Kali Fontania. I love her. Good. I think everybody will.

So prepare yourself. Okay. We'll take a out there. But I think that's going to happen. I think that's going to happen. So prepare yourself. Okay, we'll take a little break, be right back after this.

Let's bring her back. I've got all these crazy questions i have for you but um the the one thing that's on people's mind right now is effect of social media and particularly what to do about tiktok uh there's obviously some legislation being considered to restrict or eliminate and there's concern that whatever they do to tiktok will then bleed into other social media platforms. I mean, there's a lot of, it's complicated, let's be fair. What is your concern about TikTok? TikTok is, man, I hate TikTok. I'll say that. I am not a fan of that platform. I saw it come when I was a public school teacher and it was before adults were using TikTok. It started as just kind of teenagers were only using it.

It was kind of known as the teenage place, kind of like that other one, Snapchat. And now it's more adults are using it. And what I really didn't like about it was the fact that videos were like kids were scrolling 15 second, 15 second, 15 second videos. And they're getting this input, input, input, input, input. And I'm seeing that these kids are, especially Gen Z, this new generation, there's just, they lack a spark. They're kind of, I'm like, where's your creativity? You know, I taught writing

and I noticed from the beginning of my teaching career to the end, it was really hard for my students to be creative, to write a creative story. And I would inspire them with like movie plots. I would tell them like about like Teenage Mut mutant Ninja Turtles. Someone came up with that idea and made millions, if not billions,

like what a silly creative idea. Right. And it was really hard for me to get them to be creative because these kids are such consumers. They're consuming all day long, consume, consume, consume, consume. So then it comes time to produce. They are like, you know what? I even seen it myself when I'm watching too much stuff and I'm consuming too much. It's hard for me to produce. It's hard for me to write. It's hard for me to, you know, come up with creative ideas. So there's that, that was really annoying. And then it was the content that was on TikTok. The, the, I blame TikTok for the whole non-binary movement. We did not have any students that...

I had one trans student. I had one legitimate trans student in my career, and this is in California. And then all of a sudden, my last two years, not in my particular classroom because I taught English learners and kids from Mexico, and they're more traditional. But in our school, we started getting these kids that were identifying as non-binary and gender fluid and going by they, them pronouns. Someone who teaches English, you know how annoying it is to try and refer to someone as they, them? It's ridiculous, right? I believe that's from TikTok. I think these kids got this stuff planted into them from TikTok. And you go on a TikTok and there's just all these different kinds of gender identities and they also feed off of each other.

And TikTok pushes them in the algorithm. So someone like me, I get banned nine times. I've had nine accounts, full accounts banned on TikTok. I get taken off. But people who are non-binary and all of this, you know, these multiple genders that are going on right now, they get pushed and they'll get huge followings, which that wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. And so the influence of TikTok is really annoying.

The fact that these kids are scrolling all day was annoying. And then now let's add the China factor to it. So I support a ban, just not done in this way, just not this actual legislation that's coming out. And that's the way our government works nowadays. They put stuff in, they're like, oh, look, this seems great. And then they put stuff in and it's like, ah, we're losing our freedom. Right. That's right. It's no longer good. And you say it's China. Are you worried about the monitoring and the sort of access to all our information? Or are you worried that China is actually doing the brainwashing and the manipulation through the algorithm? much because we have China on our phones right now. They're watching us all. We're already getting watched. I mean, it's stupid, but we have traded our privacy for convenience. That's what we've all done. But the second one, I firmly believe they're trying to break us from within. They're trying to break us from within. A weakened nation. We have kids that aren't even fit for military

anymore. They're having to lower the standards for the military now because this new generation, they're just soft. They're weak. And they're having to lower the standards. Even with the lowered standards, there still isn't enough, a lot of kids that are fit for military. They're 18 right now. And so, yeah, I do believe that there is a psychological agenda. Because if you look at communist China, that's what they did to their own people. Why would they not do it to us? Especially the young people, especially the young people. And how does communism work there? They have their fingers in everything. So this

idea that communist China doesn't, doesn't have any involvement. The government doesn't have any involvement in TikTok is a joke because that's what communism is. Communism is the controlling of businesses and of the government control of these different businesses. And so it's just, it's so bad. The whole idea of TikTok is bad, but this ban is also, again, it's a Trojan horse. I think that it's going to bring in some other stuff that we may not want. And I think what needs to happen is bring in some other stuff that we may not want. And I think what needs to happen is we need parents to actually ban TikTok. You know what I'm saying? Like we need parents to not let their kids go on TikTok. Well, this is something I've said for a long time is

that parents should be, you know, I have a friend who's a psychologist and an attorney and she spends her whole day dealing with the consequences on young women of social media. That's her expertise, literally. And she allows her kids like an hour a day. That's it. And it's highly monitored. And that's it. My concern, of course, is that if you're really going to make that attempt, you're still going to have kids you know at school going you see your beard buddies are showing you some crazy stuff uh unless all the parents agree together that they're going to limit the access yeah that's so hard but i remember saying something like that when my kids were in junior high about drinking having alcohol and so we should sign a contract that

we all agree it's not and they all the, all the attorneys, all the attorney parents, but I'm not signing any contracts. I'll get sued. I'm forget it. You know, I'd say, okay, well,

can we do something on behalf of our kids? You know, so it's very, it's very hard to get para groups, as you know, to do stuff, right? Well,

with freedom, you have to have self-government. And we're becoming, I firmly believe this younger generation is becoming more ungovernable. They have more mental health issues. They're more violent. They're less productive. And so that generation could possibly take away a lot of our freedoms because when things get crazy, like look at what happened in New York where they have to have military in the subways now because people aren't governing themselves. You have to have self-government for freedom. And so if we don't do something about it as individuals to stop this TikTok,

then the government's going to come in and stop it. And that may not be the best solution. So Caleb's putting up there that the Chinese government won't allow their kids to be exposed to TikTok, but they do have this other thing. And what is the purpose of this other platform, Caleb? It's a different version of TikTok that people have noticed does not have as much harmful content on it because a lot of the content that they're piping into America through TikTok is not legal over in China.

They don't even allow that. Right, of course. Yeah, they're not getting it, but we are. The scariest thing about it is just how well it works. It's a very smart app. Their algorithm knows if I don't spend time on it. The only way I spend time on it is I literally, my TikTok feed is my wife has an open direct message to me. She sends me TikToks and every time it reaches 50 TikToks, I go watch the one she's filtered for me. Because I know once I go into that scrolling,

you get stuck in it. They know how to serve you stuff that keeps you on that app oh yeah oh yeah i i have another question about the homes i like instagram well sorry i just edited that out it has its own it may be the only option it will have its own at the same time i i do think we need to be clear also that our american apps are doing the same stuff like it's just this is just one that's controlled by a foreign power so it's it we're doing the same thing a communist country just remember a communist country yeah but there's there are forces afoot here that who knows you know um and now the i guess michigan is trying to uh sort of bureaucratically encumber homeschools. Are you familiar with this movement?

Yeah. So what they want is they want the parents to register with the state, homeschool parents to register with the state and be accountable to them on what they're teaching their child in the classroom. I mean, in their home classroom. And the parents are not having it. They're like, why do we have to register to the state? This is the whole point of homeschooling is to not have you guys involved. And what bothers me the most about this

is that the government should be the one, these government schools should be the ones reporting to the parents. This is a funny, look at that cartoon. It's very funny. Homeschool kids aren't properly socialized and it shows the kids in these bubbles essentially, which is what they did. Homeschool kids have always outperformed public

school students. If you look at the statistics on homeschool kids, they do better in college, they do better on standardized testing. And so this idea, it's just more government control. And like I said, the government should be the ones reporting to parents about what's going on in our schools. Because if parents got a printout every week of all the violent or creepy incidents that happened on campus, I think a lot of them would pull their children from public schools. If you got an email on Friday and was like, okay, this was the amount of weapons that were found on students. This was the end of like if you got an email on friday and was like okay these were them this was the amount of this was the amount of weapons that were found on students this was the amount of fights this was like what do you like where am i putting my kid but they don't they hide it yeah you know even at my school my student had i had a student that had a full police size taser i had a student that had a knife you know i had a i had um a student that was high on some sort of

crazy drug i don't even know because there's these new drugs now that are harder to recognize, but he was just off the Richter and they were trying to put him back into my class. And I was like, this child is on drugs. Keep him out of my classroom. He is not safe. And he was a big kid too. I'm like, keep him out of my classroom. And they were like, no, he's fine. We looked at him and I'm like, no, he can't even walk straight. Like, so it's, it's, uh, the government should be reporting to parents instead of the other way around. Well, that, that's a general thing I've been thinking about lately. I'm, I noticed in some of these, uh, government hearings and the federal government hearings lately, the, the, uh,

government officials on, I'm not done yet. I'm, it time you're you're gonna you are you did i ask you a question i i felt like everyone should stand up and go hey hey you work for me shut up i'm the boss are you i'm the citizen you work for me i it really disgusts me when i see them holding privilege over the citizens who are their employer who for whom they serve. You serve at the liberty, at the discretion of us, the citizens. They need to start behaving that way. Servant leadership. And that is so important. That's important with all businesses. I mean, just being a servant leader, that's the way this country was set up. You're not supposed to be lording over people, like you said.

Yeah. Things have gone really weirdly sideways. I'm interested in your sort of political evolution. You've clearly gone in a certain direction. Have you always been that way, or is it something that we woke up all of a sudden or kept going? Tell me that part of your story. Well, I'm still registered independent. I was a Democrat, registered Democrat. I'm still independent and probably will never register Republican just because I don't want to be tied to a certain group, especially if one turns sour like Democrats. Democrats of today are very different than the Democrats of the 90s. My grandma was a Democrat. I was so close with her. I remember in Santa Cruz, this is a very liberal area. I remember in Santa Cruz, they used to have the flags up on 4th of July in all the

neighborhoods. You would drive through, you remember this Memorial Day, 4th of July, flags were up everywhere. I miss that time. I miss seeing that. I miss seeing patriotism for our country in that way. It doesn't really even happen. Even in red states, people aren't putting up their flags like they used to. There's just this good old classic Americana. And my grandma had Republican friends friends and they got along fine.

But I feel like the muck of these, of the Democrats and who they are now, you can't stay away from it. They force it on you. Like when I was a public school teacher, you have to use these pronouns on kids or when they decide to change their gender and you don't use their correct pronoun or whatever.

You can get fired or you have to wear a mask. Listen, it's a hate crime. You could have a criminal problem. Yeah, exactly. You have to wear a mask or you can't show up on campus. And so it started coming really into my personal life. And that's when I was like, all right, I'm definitely right-leaning. Like, these people have gone crazy.

I am right-leaning. And I consider myself a conservative. So I am conservative, independent. But the Democrats, man, it's just, it's a facade. And I really bought into the whole, they were for Black people. They were for poor people. And that's just it's a facade and and i really bought into the whole they were for black people they were for poor people and that's just a joke they really aren't they're for their wallets and for china and war it seems like at least they become amen they become that and i and the right has been there too so i worry about their extremism i so i'm i'm an

independent also and you you you do strike me a little bit libertarian also um right isn't that i don't know i agree i don't think drugs should be illegal i don't i think drugs should be illegal like hard drugs so you're it's the you're conservative yeah prostitution i think that should be illegal like okay so you want to live in a certain kind of society and you want to think there's some democrats who are not so like there's different variations like there's the way left democrat and sort of the moderate democrat but they just don't want to be anything other than democrat no we know people like that i don't know i don't there's very few left because a lot of them have

left. I mean, everyone I know. And I do think that the ones that are still buying into it, they're a little crazy. You have to kind of be crazy. Especially this last four years with the Black Lives Matter, with the COVID,

you just really got brainwashed by the mainstream media with hating Trump. And just, I, it's just, it's irrational hate towards that man. You know, I, I, I, I'm, I'm sort of mystified by that too. I, I, I guess see it just all as sort of this, the people that seem to hate him the most are the most like him. So if you're, you know, the more sort of narcissistic you this, the people that seem to hate him the most are the most like him. So if you're, you know, the more sort of narcissistic you are, the more bombastic you are, the more you're going to hate this guy, which is really an interesting kind of dynamic. But what was I going to say about, oh, the part that you did in your Patriots campaign that fascinates me is teaching history, right?

You're trying to teach history as it happened. Just get kids the facts. And it's so weird to me. It seemed like history was going that way, right? It was more sort of historiography. You looked at primary documents and tried to understand what it was like to live in that time and look at it from all angles and things. And then that went away very quickly. Are you trying to teach that or are you trying to teach a contrary narrative to combat fixed narratives that are out there?

I would say it's a little of both, but I want the students to come to their own conclusion on the contrary narrative. You get what I'm saying? So like the Quaker lesson, they do see primary documents. Like they look at the log of the Quakers that were put in prison for nine, 10 years for helping a runaway slave. That is so important.

And what's sad is that it's being erased. It's harder to access this stuff now. There's more control over where you can find these sources. Because I do a lot of research because I also do some writing work for the Capital Research Center and they do a lot of research. And it's getting harder to find these firsthand documents and the archives of them. I wish people would make it more accessible for young people, but they want to erase our history and write a new narrative because our history is beautiful. I mean, it's got its flaws, of course, but the founding of America is amazing. Yeah, it's fascinating and it's complicated and we should look at it from all sides. But I was just thinking about the excesses

of the right and the left and you were a Loveline fan. We were fighting the right very hard in being able to do that show. And so I have distrust of the excesses on every side whenever I come around it because it's always irrational and it's always emotional. Like the thing I encountered on the right was I was advocating very strongly for morning after contraceptives and they kept insisting it was an abortive pill. I kept saying, no, no. But by the way, if you're going to take issue with that, what about IUDs? Why aren't you freaking out about IUDs? Those actually do cause abortions. And because you don't know your damn biology, you're making irrational cases for something that could reduce abortion.

But anyway, people's insanity and lack of sort of education never ceased to disappoint me. I have a question. Yeah. How are your kids affected by AI? Like, is it, when I first started doing like chat GPT, I would put something in and then it was written pre-COVID and then it was, they didn't give any facts. It was written the way, I guess, China wanted it to sound.

But how are- Google wanted it to sound. Yeah. I mean, they're, you know- china wanted it to sound but um how google wanted to sound yeah i mean they're you know they're they're writing white people out of history but um how are your kids affected by that yet my current students i wouldn't say no i would say no um but i will say that i have written articles about it because i know i keep track of what the teachers unions are doing and they're trying to accept accept it and just basically say it's a writing tool and so these kids now 30 of our college students are using ai to help write their papers and i would say it's even higher than that and this is going back to the fact that again destroyed creativity, destroyed

production, because now these kids are having a robot or whatever, AI produce it for them. And yeah, I'm just so worried. I'm just so worried that we're gonna have a generation of dunces at the end of all this, because they won't be coming up with their own thoughts anymore. And I didn't see it yet, because it didn't see it yet because it didn't become a thing. AI didn't become a thing in the classroom until about, I would say, the last three years. And I used to always have my students handwrite a lot of stuff. But then we don't have kids that are able to write because we don't teach handwriting anymore in third and fourth grade, like cursive. And so it's, I don't know, we're in a very funky situation with our public education unless we get it together.

I'd be curious in your thoughts, what should we be doing? You mentioned the white teacher that stood up and declared his white privilege and how that was like weird for you. There is such a thing as ethnocentrism. It exists everywhere frankly on all sides but but it there has been kind of a certain ethnocentrism in this country sort of european facing sort of white facing and it just has been and that's been you know and you can speaking of primary documents i i chuckle i found one with a with um benjamin franklin railing on the lack of racial purity in Philadelphia. And this darker group was coming in.

He was talking about non-Saxon Germans. We're going to adulterate the population. So there's been this weird thing in the United States. Should we just look at it, accept it, it's a thing, and not vilify it? Or do we have to? I mean, it's affected people. It's hurt people. It has. What do you accept it it's a thing and not vilify it or do we have to i mean it's affected people it's hurt people it has what do we do with it our country was 80 white until the early 1980s so there's that yeah so yeah it just was that's right it just was that way yeah i don't think there's ethnic having pride in your ethnicity is very different than having a color lens,

where you're really focusing on the color of people's skin. Having pride in your Irish heritage or your Jamaican heritage or whatever, that's cool. That's culture. That's awesome. But this whole color lens that we're bringing back that was going away in the 90s, we're bringing it back. Now we're labeling back that was going away in the 90s we're bringing it back now we're having labeling black owned businesses we're having black sections on netflix and black sections on disney

plus and our students are being you know like for example i got that gift where i had the i love being black sticker are white people allowed to do that right now so it's it we're we're basically repeating the mistakes of our past and it's not going to end well. This is not going to, and focusing on color is so silly to me because we're all different.

What do you do with an albino black person that's white? You know, I can't even say, they're not a black person. They're an albino. They're African. Yeah. I don't know what they are.

It's odd. The whole thing is odd if you just like people. You know what I mean? If you like people, it's a very odd thing to be thinking about. But you said it's going to end badly. What is your fantasy? What do you worry about? I'm seeing hatred.

I'm seeing way more hatred for skin color than I've ever seen or ever witnessed in my life. Going all directions? Both ways now. Yeah, both ways. So I have a satire character. I use the Black Lives Matter mask and I make up this satire character and I mock the left, basically.

And she's gone viral a lot, actually. People don't know it's me, but I make these crazy things. Even Ben Shapiro reacted to her and thought she was a real leftist. I receive hate from both sides. So I know what it's like to get hate from the right. I know what it's like to get hate from the left. The left was calling me racial slurs all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time.

No racial slurs from the right. I get things like, you need to be fired because I pretend to be a teacher, a woke teacher. And I'll get comments like, you need to be fired. You're crazy. Get you away from kids. That's what I was getting from the right. This last, I would say, seven or eight months, I've been receiving some racial slurs. And I'm like, oh, it's because they keep pushing, pushing, pushing all of this. I call it black idolatry right now. I mean, that's where we're headed. It's that, and I feel like the October 7th flip things a little bit too, the anti-Israel stuff. So I don't know if somebody did something else. It added another flavor to this whole thing that unleashed some nastiness on all sides. The nastiness, yes. And so it's sad. It's really heartbreaking for me to see this because what are our kids going to inherit? What kind of world are they going to inherit? A Jim Crow

South world, but in reverse? Because that's what's happening right now. And people don't want to talk about it. If you even talk about this stuff, you get hate. You get all kinds of, it's, you know, if you expose the fact that white people are being discriminated against right now, legitimately, like on the books, there's companies and corporations that have policies where if there's a black applicant and there's a white applicant and they have the same thing on their resume, you take the black applicant or if the white applicant even has more qualifications, you take the black applicant. That kind of stuff, it's never going to end well.

You know? It's technically illegal. Yeah. It should be. It's technically illegal, but it's not. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race unless it's white. Then it's okay. Exactly.

And that's the world we're in right now. I'm curious about- I think it really is forcing, just really quick, it's forcing a lot of young white people into entrepreneurship, which is interesting. I don't know what, you know, it'll be interesting to see where that sort of goes. What do you want to ask, Caleb? Yeah, I'm curious if, you know, you've noticed, you said there's been a large increase in the hate that you're receiving online. Does it seem like that sudden increase, especially after, what was it, October 7th? Especially after that, does it seem like it's a lot of AI bot-driven replies to you? Like they really ramped it up because they see, Oh,

we can split people up more. Now we can have Israel versus Palestine as another thing. That's also white versus black. That was the narrative. They were really able to divide people up for a long time about that. Now they've kind of moved on to something else that can divide people. Does it seem like, were they like people that actually followed you real humans that followed

you that turned on you? Or do they seem like it's like a new crew of people that don't even watch you? Or could you tell? That's a good question. I think most of the hate I've received is humans because I'll check their profile and I'll look at them. There was a guy that ran an afterschool program and he called me a house N-word. Usually the bots kind of have a similar, they'll say the same thing. They'll have like a flag with pre-Palestine over and over and over again. Um, when it's really unique. Yeah.

When it's really unique. That's when I'm like, okay, that's probably a real person. Or if it's a DM, it's probably a real person. I really haven't seen an influx of bots on my account, but, um, like I've had people make whole videos on YouTube saying horrible things about, you know, me and that's not a bot,

you know what I'm saying? So it's I think there's a little bit of that. What is their credit? What is their criticism? Because I speak, because I speak against critical race theory and black lives matter. And I, you know,

black lives matter, the movement it's based on critical race theory. Because what it does is it applies guilt to the collective. And that's exactly what critical race theory is. Is it's not just one cop who's a bad cop, right? It's all cops. It's not just one white person who's a racist. It's all white people.

It's not just one black person who's the victim. It's all black people. And when you speak against that and you basically destroy that stuff, you get a lot of hate, a lot of hate. And I get a lot of it from people that look like me, and I get a lot of it from white people, and it's depressing, but it is what it is. Out of curiosity, is it more women than men? Just out of curiosity? I would say it depends on the video. So I did a video where I basically mocked, it went viral, but I said, if white women acted like black women during Black History Month. And I said, I have my white girl magic shirt on and I have white is king. I was like this. And I said, I have my white girl magic shirt on and I have, you know, white is king. I was like this.

And I was like, yeah, I was like, I'm so tired of seeing Beyonce with blonde straight hair because that's cultural appropriation, right? Just basically, it was like a joke, right? And man, the hate I got for that video, just a 20 second video. It was like, you hate yourself and you don't realize we've been through 400 years of oppression and this is our time to shine. And I'm like, we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. You know, if it's only one skin color that's allowed to do this and white people aren't allowed to do this, this is repeating the mistakes of the past. And you just, I'm telling you that it's

people get addicted to that victim mindset because it's an excuse. It's an excuse to be a loser. That's what I call it. Yeah. Well, it has been a pleasure to talk to you, Collie. Thank you so much. Thank you for the work you're doing.

I, whatever we can do to help promote your school, we're happy to do it. So give them all the particulars. Where can they see the videos? Where can they check the school out? Yeah. We have your ex up there, Cali Fontenia. Go ahead.

So Cali Fontenia, on all the major platforms, I'm on Instagram, I'm on YouTube, I'm on Facebook, ex and TikTok still, but even though I'm on my 10th account. But you can check out the school at thinkexodus.org. And that is where you can see the enrichment program or young Patriots Academy. That's $29 a month. And then we also have a fully accredited K through 12 program that does it takes does take state vouchers. So if you qualify in your state for a voucher, our K through 12 fully accredited program

could be of no cost. But, um, but yeah, I, I'm on all those major platforms and I would love to come back and talk with you, Dr. Drew, because this has been awesome. All right. We will keep in touch with you, I assure you. Thanks, Colleen. And coming up, we have, like I said,

we have Greg Glukianoff from FIRE. It'd be interesting to talk to him about free speech. They're monitoring the institutions very carefully that are transgressing on that First Amendment privilege. Want to put the more, what else coming up there? I know we have Peter McCullough coming in. We just got a bunch of great guests coming up. There we are.

Warren Smith with Lukianoff. The guy from Viva and Barnes is coming up on the second. I don't know. Barnes from. So Viva's partner, attorney, I forget his first name. Barnes is Richard Barnes. And he should be very interesting. Drea DiMatteo will be in studio here with me.

I guess I'm going to be wearing some of her swag. We ordered something. When is that? That is on March. That's next Thursday. Oh, okay. A week from today. I guess I'm going to be wearing some of her swag. We ordered something. When is that? That is on next Thursday. Oh, okay. A week from today. I might be alive. You're going to be fine. It's going to be fine. She's getting a tooth implant. She's freaked out. I'm getting a

screw in my jaw tomorrow. And not the fun kind. Why don't we just leave it at that? I appreciate Collie. Yeah, right. Exactly. I appreciate Collie being in with us today. I'm watching all you guys out on the restream and of course on the Rubble Rants. You seem very engaged by her presentation today.

It's interesting. We also have Salty Cracker. She hit the nail on the head. Yeah, it's very interesting talking to her. We have Salty Cracker coming in. I know he's on deck there somewhere. So you have all the Cracker coming in. I know he's on deck there somewhere. So we have all your, all the hits are coming back.

And do please do support people that support us. Again, I said I had the emergency aid kit here on the little ad. I have the emergency aid kit here with me. Did you find the one we took to Vegas? No, we take the travel kit with us. I think we left it there.

No, I put it in myself. No, no, no. Not unless somebody took it out. It wasn't in my bag. How could that be? Maybe I put it in mine. Maybe I put it in myself. No, no, no. Unless somebody took it out. It wasn't in my bag. How could that be? Maybe I put it in mine. Maybe I stuck it in mine. It might be in mine. Probably. Alright, I'll find it. But it's all the stuff that I

give my own patients when they travel. There's things you should have when you travel. It's just the way it goes. Whether it's nausea medicine, diarrhea medicine, things for infections, skin infections, sinus infections. Yeah, but also like if you get sick, you get a really bad flu or a bug, and then it's been a couple of weeks, and you start getting a sinus infection,

and you can't get to an emergency room, or you do urgent care, and you don't have a doctor. There's no reason for you to go to all those places. You just have that, you know, pull out that little Z-Pak, and boom, all better. All right, everybody. Thank you all for being here. And we will have a good weekend and we will see you again on Tuesday. Let me just double check that the time is our usual time.

I'm fairly certain it is. Yes, it is three o'clock with Greg Gluckiaff. We'll see you then. Ta-ta. Ask Dr. Drew is produced by Caleb Nation and Susan Pinsky.
