Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come to vendor independent like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille of SackMagic. Our compresses, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon enlarge our clientele
Starting point is 00:00:10 to the world entire. Trouve of little enterprises like on our own.com.com. We talked a lot today about critical race theory. We had a couple of guests on Ryan Gerduski. He's actually the guy who broke that story about John Weaver's sexual harassment with little boys.
Starting point is 00:00:26 He was the co-founder of the Lincoln Project. So Ryan is the guy who broke that story, but he is getting involved now because he cannot, he can't believe what's being taught with critical race theory all over the country. If you think it's not in your school, it is. He started something to help people run for school board, 1776 Project Pack.com. We talked to him. We also talked to a woman in Loudoun County, Virginia, which is, it's Allison Wonderland World. It is completely upside down where the teachers and the school board look at parents as if they're an annoyance that just need to be shut down.
Starting point is 00:01:09 The campaign to shut down these parents in the school is un-American. Luckily, there is somebody standing by her, and we talk to the woman who is under attack and is suing the county and the school board. We have a conversation with that. Bill O'Reilly, of course, is always great. And Richard Grinnell, if I could spend a day with anyone and just pick his brain, it would be Richard Grinnell, the former director of national intelligence, oversaw all of the intelligence. I talked to him a little bit about the hacking that is going on in our food supply, in our gas lines. but also I wanted to know if he had ever seen anything that said white supremacy and Donald Trump supporters are the most dangerous to our republic over anything else. You don't want to miss that interview all on today's podcast. You're listening to The Best of the Glenback program.
Starting point is 00:02:23 We told you about the guy who just said, you know, that Jews have an insatiable appetite for war and killing. And he said, I don't know how I'd reconcile that identity if I were a Jew with the behavior of fundamentalist Jewish extremists or Israel as a nation. The details would confuse me. I wouldn't understand those who suggest that bombing Lebanon, slaughtering Lebanese people and largely destroying Beirut and retaliation for the capture of a few soldiers is justified. He was ahead of diversity at Google. Hmm. wonder if he's a Marxist but he's no longer with Google
Starting point is 00:03:04 they fired him I guess if he just say Jews have an appetite for blood I guess I guess that's enough to get you fired today holy cow so that's good news I want to talk to you about something else
Starting point is 00:03:18 we have a woman who is being targeted in shoot Virginia because she's standing up against critical race theory in this very famous county, Loudoun County, where the people are just coming after you, and they don't seem to care,
Starting point is 00:03:40 including the county attorney. Ryan Gurdowski, he is a journalist. He's actually the guy who broke the story recently on the Lincoln Project, the co-founder, John Weaver, who was sexually harassing young boys, which is always a plus, I guess, if you're running the Lincoln Project. Nobody seemed to have a problem with it until he broke the story. He is also the author of They're Not Listening and the founder of the 1776 Project Pack.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Now, this has something to do with critical race theory, and I'm going to let him explain it. Hi, Ryan, how are you? Good. Thank you for having me on, Glenn. You bet. So let's first talk about the PACT and tell me what it does and why you started it. Yeah, so the 1776 Project PAC, PAC, by the way, it's on 1776 ProjectPack.com. It's the nation's very first Super PAC intended solely for school board candidates.
Starting point is 00:04:48 So because critical race theory has been moving through our public institutions, especially through grammar schools, elementary schools, and high schools. The only way that we can counter that on democratic means is by taking over the school boards with conservatives who want to promote a patriotic version of American history. The point of the PAC was to sit there and try to campaign on behalf of school board candidates, especially in counties and districts that were promoting critical race theory already and trying to reach out to candidates who are in districts that are not promoting critical race theory, but reach out to them about how to be proactive with maybe different types of history books,
Starting point is 00:05:31 different types of civics education, and what school board members can do to counter what's going on with principals and with educators in the school system. So when you say I want to promote a patriotic history or curriculum, I don't want a patriotic history. I think I just want a true history of the United States. I think that's patriotic enough in itself. Who are you, how do you judge who to help and who not to help? What are the requirements for somebody who's running for school board to get your assistance?
Starting point is 00:06:11 Well, they have to oppose critical race theory. That's the most important thing. We've had, you have to oppose critical race theory. is the most important position you have to have. You know, every school district is different. Every state is different. So different people are worried about, you know, mask mandates in some schools and not worry about it in other schools.
Starting point is 00:06:32 My main point is critical race theory because I think it's truly a cancer in society right now. The thing is, PAC started about a week ago. So we've raised about $32,000 over 450 donors in a week, which is great. We'll see how much I can raise by, November. There's no corporate money. This is not, I literally started this on my bed with my dog, found a treasure, started a pack. I've been working on campaigns for 15 years. So I know how to,
Starting point is 00:07:03 I know how to do this. I know how to campaign on behalf of somebody, but there's no major organization. So I'm going to see, come roll around September, see how much money we've raised. And then, and by the way, I have a full-time job. This is not, you know, my, it's not a grift I'm created to sit there and raise money. This is something I'm doing on the side, just I think, I have to help. And this is the only way I know how to help. So we'll see how much money we raise, and then we'll see which elections are being held this year.
Starting point is 00:07:27 It's rolling elections in school boards, so it's not every November. It's not every, you know, every other year. They're constantly rolling. There'll be a lot come November. And I'll see how much money I have and which candidates I can help in which states. I know Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I've reached out to me a lot. People from there, people from Kansas have reached out to me a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:47 People think critical race theory is only a blue state. issue or a bluesy issue. It's in over 3,500 classrooms. It is, and like you said, it is, it's crippling. It's, it is the kryptonite to America. If we teach this to our kids, we are surely, surely done. And, you know, I have, I've seen it in, in Texas, in some of the most conservative counties. And what I'm really concerned about is, you know, when you get these school board members on, they really, really have to pay attention to this and make sure they root it out all the way to the roots. Because I'm seeing all over the country, teachers saying, well, we'll just teach it anyway. I mean, we'll just teach it in our own way. We'll just slip it in. They find alternative words for it, alternative terms for it. But the thing that school board members have the control of is the budget. So things like where speakers come in from out of, you know, out of the school system.
Starting point is 00:08:55 If they're bringing Robin DiAngelo, that's the major red flag. They control the superintendent position in many places. They control what textbooks are taught. So when I said, you know, we should create, we should teach me like a patriotic version of history. I don't mean to whitewash history. I don't mean to downplay certain bad. things that happen and highlight certain good things. What I'm sitting there and saying, though, is that we need to, you know, have a proactive version that's just there and addresses a lot of these
Starting point is 00:09:20 concerns head on with, you know, the problematic portions of history, but creates the narrative overall that our nation is great and that great men of history as colorful as they were or as problematic as they were by today's standards, the overarching narrative of their life and of their time is that they moved the human race forward. And I think that that, is really, really important. And so trying to find textbooks that promote those kinds of thoughts in children is another key portion of it. We're talking to Ryan Gurdowski.
Starting point is 00:09:55 He has just started 1776 Project PACPAC.com, which is supporting those people that want to get into politics and run for school board if you have a spine of steel against critical race theory. What brought you to this? I mean, you're a journalist, generally speaking, aren't you not? Are you not? I am. Well, what happened was, was I have, I don't have children, but I have a very large family, 36 first cousins, I'm the second oldest of all of them. And my godson was in school and his teacher, because everyone was doing basically online classes over the last year, one of his teachers said, you know, to my nine-year-old cousin, my your godson that police cars only follow white cars they don't follow oh sorry only follow black cars
Starting point is 00:10:46 they don't follow white cars now she's teaching about you know racial profiling to profiling to a nine-year-old in the most innocuous terms possible in order to sit there and kind of create this idea that the police are biased and police are racist now we have a lot of police in my family and he called me with a lot of questions and it was infuriating and there was no kind of check on it I mean the parents started calling the PTA got involved the principal end up going to having to get involved. But had he not been doing classes at home, we would have never really probably ever learned about it.
Starting point is 00:11:18 We only learned about it because, you know, his parents overheard. So I thought that this was, there has to be some kind of checker. I see something we can do. I think I can do. And, you know, I don't have the means to create a new school.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I don't, I don't have the, you know, credentials to create a new textbook. But I can run a campaign because I've done them in the past. And I can run a super PAC and I've done that in the past.
Starting point is 00:11:40 So let me just do that. And I created this PAC. And, you know, if you want to run for school board, I would go to 1776 projectpack.com, pac.com. Let me know where you're running and when the election is. If you want to donate, we definitely get donations because, like I said, I'm doing this all, you know, without a corporate sponsor, without a major billionaire behind it, it's just people saying they're wanting to donate to make this better.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And if you want to just get involved and tell me about a school, district that is promoting critical race theory. I'd love to hear it because there's no database. I'm trying to still get all that information going so we know where is this being promoted and when. I find it astonishing how deeply entrenched it already is in almost every area of the country. I mean, people just don't, you know, they'll hear things like, ah, you got to be anti-racist. And they don't, you know, they're like, you know, I'm against racism.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So I guess that's right. This has nothing to do with Martin Luther King. This anti-racism means racism. Yeah, yeah, and we should stop calling a critical race theory and call it what it is, which is state-sponsored racism. It tells white children you are, it has all the punitive parts of religion, tells white children you are born a racist, you have this original sin, you need to be, you need to redeem yourself from it,
Starting point is 00:13:06 but you can never actually receive redemption. It tells non-white children that you are born, a victim, you will live a victim, you will die a victim, and you will, every area of life of an inequity for you is because of your skin color. And it was purposely be created as an inequity because of your skin color. It's horrendous. It's a lie. And the fact that, you know, we have this 1619 project being taught in school, which is completely, I mean, it's not historically correct at all. It says the American Revolution was fought over slavery. I mean, that's just not a fact, and that's taught in classroom now.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Ryan, I thank you very much for what you're doing. And I urge you, if you're listening right now, to run for school board. Get involved. It's not going to be enough just to show up. You do have to show up at school board meetings now. We have to be involved unlike we've ever been involved before, but you have to run. If you have it within you, you have to run. And it's not that hard to get elected because very few people actually vote in the school board races.
Starting point is 00:14:17 And so go ahead. You were going to say? No, no, I left because it's true. And listen, I know most people are nervous, but most school board elections, 90% of our country are nonpartisan. Very few people come out and vote for it. And I think the PAC, the 1776 Project PAC is there to assist people and campaign on behalf of Canada. who, you know, they can't raise, you know, even $5,000 to go run a campaign to make a, you know, a mailer or something like that. So I'm hopeful that this PAC, if we raise enough money especially, will be able to compete in every possible state that there is in many school to districts.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And I hope the threat of the PAC to people who are not activists who are kind of school board members that go along to get along and are going along with critical race theory, wakes them up and says, oh, I don't really want a mail or come to my neighborhood to say to people, this is what I'm promoting. Ryan, first of all, thank you for the story that you broke on the Lincoln Project co-founder. John Weaver's apparently been getting away with this for a very long time, and I'm glad somebody had the balls to actually stand up and do the research on it and expose it. So thank you for that. And also this, and I urge you if you are listening and you understand, even basic understanding of critical radio.
Starting point is 00:15:39 theory and the poison that it is to our society it will be our undoing if we don't stop it and we must stop it now please make a donation to 1776 project pack p a c dot com 1776 project pack dot com ryan thank you very much god bless thank you you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program i don't want to waste any time uh because he is on a busy schedule, former U.S. ambassador to Germany, former acting director of national intelligence, and the founder now of FixCalifornia.com, which I really want to get into.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Welcome, Richard Grinnell. How are you, sir? Glenn, thanks for having me. You bet. Someday, I really just want to spend the day with you. I mean, I'll go follow you around if that's what it takes, but I just, I have so many things. I would enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Okay. So let me get, because we have such limited time, let me get to some things that are on my mind. Let's start with the hacking. I've never seen an administration say, well, this is a private company that is being hacked. A, they should pay the ransom, but that's up to them. And it looks like they're coming from China in some of these, the transportation one in New York City, but the rest of them are coming from Russia. any chance that Putin doesn't know that this is going on.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Look, let's be very clear. All right now are testing the Biden administration. They're trying to care. Can they go both of America? And they knew those lines going very clearly under the Trump. Exactly. If they did something, that there would be an immediate.
Starting point is 00:18:03 The bigger reaction is message is sent when you put America first, is we will protect our people first and we will have overwhelming force that will come at you, whether it's sanctions. Donald Trump used every single tool that the United States government has. Well, Joe Biden is going to go over and talk to Putin. I can't imagine how badly that's going to go. But are we sending, what message are we sending back to them and how bad does this have to become before it's an act of war.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Before the campaign, I talked a lot about Joe Biden's global philosophy. And he believes in consensus with the rest of the world and certainly the importance of consensus with Western governments. Now, that sounds amazing, right? It sounds like, can't we all just hug it out and get along? But the practical reality is that we have a different, of opinion, even when it comes to Western allies like Germany, if you are going to put
Starting point is 00:19:21 government has to complement our positions, then you've just watered it down. And let me give you the perfect example. Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a pipeline that goes too far an energy into Europe. We, the United States, believe it's okay. It's part of the equation of having a diversified energy source. So we don't mind gas, but Nord Stream 2 goes too far. By the way, the European Parliament actually agrees with us. Countries in Europe agree with us. Joe Biden looked at the Germans unequivocally that's in their call between Chancellor Merkel and Joe Biden. The Chancellor brought up North. And Joe Biden wants to please German government to like him. So will you let us have North Stream 2? Prioritizes
Starting point is 00:20:36 the compliments of Germany over the position of the United States. And so while he's shutting down pipelines in the United States, he's allowing them to go forward because the Germans asked for it, and he prioritizes having the Germans like him. This is a very dangerous and slip. Go to the UN say it be liked, and you want the crowd water down our policy in order. As a director of national intelligence, you oversee all of the arms of intelligence, right? Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:25 President Biden and his allies are saying the biggest threat, according to the intelligence that he's receiving, the biggest threat to the United States of America, is white supremacy and, you know, Donald Trump supporters. did you ever see any intelligence that would back any of that up? Absolutely not. It's outrageous. It's politicizing the intelligence community. It's also making us less safe because if you want to pull resources and articulate a position that this is where we need to concentrate, this is the priority. then the reality is that the counterterrorism center that is run by the intelligence community will shift its resources, formation surrounding that's not the top problem.
Starting point is 00:22:33 It's just like, you know, Russia is a problem for us, but China is a crisis. And when you constantly say, look over there at Russia, look at all of these problems, you're literally giving the Beijing line. The Chinese applaud us when we say go concentrate on the Russia crisis because it's not a crisis and therefore we take our eye off the ball. This is exactly what's happening when we say white supremac is the problem. And don't be surprised that over the last four years how the Democrats have told us that our system, you know, when they say that it's called systemic racism, what they mean is that the system, of the United States government.
Starting point is 00:23:33 What they mean is that our system promotes racist policies. It's wrong. It's dangerous because now what we're finding is that the Russians and the Chinese are calling us racists and a systemic racist problem. So the racism, sexism, homophobia mantra from the Democrats, I don't know why people are now surprised that the Chinese. come to Alaska and negotiate with us and then lecture us on being a racist society. Now we've seen Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister,
Starting point is 00:24:14 deliver the same line. The Russians are now telling us, be prepared that we are now on the act plane, on the offense, pointing out all of your problems in America. This undercuts our moral authority. And lastly, let me finish, Glenn, it's outrageous. that our U.S. ambassador to the U.N. would go to the United Nations and from the podium where there's a 193 plus, you know, countries and entities in that room
Starting point is 00:24:53 and say that we are systemically racist. That is damaging our moral authority and it's now being thrown in our faith. And I don't think the Biden administration is going to be able to ever have the moral upper hand. Nine women, basic, nine Christians, the ability to just... I am so offended today that the Biden administration is saying that they're going to fly gay pride flags for the first time at embassies and all around the world, except for Indonesia, except for the Middle East, anywhere where it counts.
Starting point is 00:25:53 It matters. They're not that. I mean, yeah, it matters there. They're killing homosexuals there, and they're not going to say anything. What moral authority do we have at all? Yeah, by the way, this whole rainbow flag thing is wearing a red rib something for a phony. This is the substantive work that has to be done. The whole idea of a rainbow flag and all of that is now, which I think, It's all of the corporate America, all the CEOs in America, the month of June, into colorful pride logos, like BMW or they don't do it. Disney, Mercedes, yeah. Right. They don't do it out in their chest in WeHo and Chelsea.
Starting point is 00:27:22 They're not doing it outrageous, the where it matters, not taking a stand, but they're trying to pretend like they are in America. And Americans keep falling for it. We've got to be able to do it. I'm doing a very good job right now because we don't have the help of the media. So we only have a couple of minutes left. And I want to ask you, first of all, the intelligence arm of the post office, when did that happen? Did you know, did you know about it? I mean, it's small.
Starting point is 00:28:04 It's mail fraud. Go ahead. And it's mail fraud. It's, you know, a lot of people have been using the postal service. Yeah. honest, it should not be, and if I had more time at DNI, I would have the service. Technically, tell you that it is an arm, that just intelligence agencies, we're getting the pieces, educating and linking those together.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I think it's a huge mistake. We create another bureaucracy because the bureaucracies aren't talking to each other. And that's what we did with, created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In theory, it was a coordinating body. Coordinating. Oh my gosh. It's a competing body. I went in and removed 350 people, the media, attacked nonstop that I was.
Starting point is 00:29:49 We have intelligence. They already others are doing, others are being wasted, and we're not able to do as much because we're spending double money on the same problem, and sometimes it's the waste. Well, I bring it up, Richard, because that's the one that is saying that white supremac, is the biggest, you know, they're the ones issuing the warnings that Biden in Homeland Security are using some information from the post office, which I find is amazing. Richard, honestly, I wish you were running for a governor of California, but I guess that's out of the picture.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Here, keep saying, and that is, I am not convinced politics of having a recall and getting somebody in, I would say, in November is when the Democrats are thinking of having, is going to fix the problem. And I think we've got an electorate right now that is incredibly frustrated. To tell them that the only thing that we have to do, Sacramento, who would go up to Sacramento and face majority in the Senate against, majority in the assembly against him or her, you could veto every, and so, or I make any decision. It's frustrated with the electorate. What they have said they're going to do decision out to about September. We have enough signatures on the recall, but the if part is the Democrats control the state, they control the, the secretary of state,
Starting point is 00:32:18 the governor's office, every single statewide office. Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Democrats know exactly what's at stake. And if Gavin is underwater, we're not going to go through this. We're not going to have a recall. It's too risky. Now, The Gavin Newsom people, the very next day, started leaking to reporters that Diane Feinstein was getting old. And she said that she would leave in 2022, but she may resign early. And therefore, if she resigned, Gavin would appoint himself. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Richard Gronel We'll We got to I'm sorry we're out of time We'll have you on again It is always a pleasure to talk to Richard Grinnell This is the best of the Glenn Beck program

I don't know if you've been following what's happening in Loudon County, the school board there.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Loudon County is in Virginia. It's northern part of Virginia, part of the Washington, D.C. Metro. it played an essential role in the founding of our nation. George Washington called it the breadbasket of the revolution because of the farmers. At the time, it was the largest county. Now it's the third largest county. But it has gone crazy with critical race theory. So much so that they have a Facebook group, the people who are on the side of critical race theory,
Starting point is 00:35:18 there is a Facebook page that is trying to docks first the parents now they're starting to docks the kids that are part of families that are against critical race theory and the last I read one of the the county attorneys I think the top county attorney for Loudoun County was was on that Facebook website saying keep doing this you're doing exactly the right thing it is it's crazy what's happening. One of the people, one of the families that are are suing the county now is a mom. Patty Hildago Menders is on the phone with us now. Patty, welcome to the program. Hi, Glenn. Thank you for having me. It is, the world is upside down in Loudoun County, isn't it? Yes, it is. I've lived here for almost 23 years.
Starting point is 00:36:16 and two of my sons have gone through the Loudoun County school system with no problem. Math, science, English was taught kind of the way we expected. You know, I moved to this area specifically for the school system 23 years ago. And now with my last son, who's a sophomore in high school, we are just finding so much upside down indoctrination. What have you found? I'll be honest, I'm the president of the Loudoun County Republican Women's Club, and many of my club members feel trust that they can trust me, whether it's teachers or parents. They send me screenshots of what the teachers, some teachers, are teaching. And one in particular was a high school English, C-Her had a school and a black girl and say, what do you see?
Starting point is 00:37:21 What do you see? And the kid is like, I only see two people chilling. because my club members sent that to me. I changed my eyes to what's happening. Then in the next couple days, I get my club members sending me screenshots that my name, anti-racist Facebook page, my eyes to thinking that we as anti-racist Facebook page,
Starting point is 00:37:57 yes, the Commonwealth attorney, Buddha Buberidge, was in that group as well, even the principal of my son's high school. Now, whether they knew or not, they let this mob black, list us. And they listed my first and last name. They listed my name of my husband, where my son goes to high school, and three pictures of me. Cuba. I know darn well what socialism looks like, because they taught me. And they taught me to appreciate the freedoms that we've been given here in the
Starting point is 00:38:35 U.S. So when they called me a racist, I got mad. School board meeting. We only allowed two public comment sessions a month, and I told them to their face how disappointed school board that you let this mob go after your constituents, the parents of the students that you're supposed to represent and take care of our children. Your county attorney, it didn't stop. I think it got worse if I'm reading things right, because now they were saying on that Facebook page, we've got to find out more about these kids and send us anything you have on any of the kids so they're doxing the kids
Starting point is 00:39:19 and then your county attorney joined in and said this is the right thing to do this is insane that it's happening in America you were able to FOIA and find out that these school board members and wanted to silence the opposition they want it's a war against the parents steps do not believe in this indoctrination.
Starting point is 00:39:46 They say it's not critical race theory. They say they're not teaching that. But you know what? They use other words. They use equity, culturally responsive training. And yes, they are doxing our children. You know, it also goes to the opportunity to either do in-person or distance learning. And majority of the conservative families did send their children to in-person.
Starting point is 00:40:15 So I feel like that's another avenue where they're able to see who these families are that oppose critical race theory in our school. Now, it's my understanding that if your son or daughter, you either agree or you be quiet. And if you're not quiet, you can be excluded from school leadership programs reported for disciplinary action. Is that true? Yes. they implemented two, they're calling it student equity ambassadors, and then there's a bias reporting. And the bias reporting allows students anonymously reasons why they're reporting this individual, and it could be racial slurs or whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Please say on this day, then it goes to the equity committee, and they have to investigate, and then the student equity ambassadors, the program, T training. Very scary for age to begin with, you know, K through 12. Kids are still learning. They're still trying to figure out who they are. But for them to push this political indoctrination on our children to be social justice warriors,
Starting point is 00:41:43 that's when you're getting a lot of parents that are coming to the school board meetings and saying, be honest with us. What are you doing to our children? And I don't think, I think a lot of cities, school boards, teachers, schools are not being honest. We've seen this around the country where they pull it out and the teachers just continue to say, we'll do it anyway. We'll just rename it. You are working with friends of ours, Libertyjusticecenter.org, and they are, they're working with you on this lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:42:16 What are you suing for? So my friend Scott Minio, who runs parents against critical theory, was looking for other Loudoun parents, and he introduced me to Liberty Justice Center. And we are suing them for our children's and our right to equity ambassador program and the bias reporting. And Liberty Justice Center thinks it's a pretty good case. I mean, if they take your case, that's a pretty good sign that they think they can win it. what does it mean if you win?
Starting point is 00:42:55 Good question. I think we could fundamentally end the equity ambassador program. You know, they want this lawsuit to restore our free speech and show that it violates it and that it violates equality. You know, they don't use the word equality. They use the word equity. Night and day different. Patty, when you are out and about. do you do you find people are against you or for you or do you find a lot of people coming up
Starting point is 00:43:35 and whispering i'm with you i just keep going what do you find a lot of whispers yeah so there's a lot of whispers cowards yeah i i'll be honest i um i've had to really educate and empower a lot of people to move forward and i ran a gala and sebastian gorka was there And he said, we've got to get more people like Patty, who is brave to come out. You know, we can't do this alone. And I've been, since I've been filing this lawsuit, a lot of anonymous, not anonymous, but strangers have come to me and saying, you're doing a great job. And to be honest, I just need them on board with me. I need them to come to the school board meetings with me.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I need them to write letters to the editor. I need them to, you know, write letters to the superintendent to say, this is unacceptable. You know, I need more people. I think people are afraid that if you lose, they are going to be outed and they'll be next on the chopping block, which if they don't stand, they will be. I mean, I've said this for years. One, courage is contagious. But two, if you don't fight now, this is the easy part of this fight. is only going to get harder from here if we don't stand up. If you don't stand up now,
Starting point is 00:45:02 you're not going to stand up. You will be ending up on the wrong side. Well, one thing we're doing that a lot of parents and residents are participating is we're recalling six of the school board members that were in that anti-racist Facebook page. So we do have recall efforts that are happening and people are coming out of the woodwork to sign those as club president. I've got a lot of events and people are going. My club is actually the largest Republican women's club in the state of Virginia because of all this liberalness in the last two years that we've been uncovering. So I think people are slowly coming up.
Starting point is 00:45:44 They're tired of this cancel culture. They're tired of this wokeness. Surprise us, but the school board canceled Dr. Seuss. Books to be a part of the Read Across America program that they had been doing for years. The board wants a war with the parents and I just don't understand it, you know. Yeah, I've watched it around the country several times and the, many of the teachers and the school boards are, they do look at your children like it's their right and their children and that you are a nuisance in all of this. They know what's right. The arrogance is off the charts.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Hopefully that will be their undoing. Patty, thank you so much. Is there anything that you, you need or that the audience can do? I guess contact Liberty Justice Center. If they want to get involved, contact Fight for Schools, which is an organization that's doing the recall. And then Parents Against Critical Theory is a big educational website. So I'm working really closely with those three organizations. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. and we'll follow the case, Patty, and hope to have you on again. I hope to actually shake your hand one day. I think you're an amazing one. Thank you so much, one. You're welcome. Libertyjusticecenter.org.
