I'm here today because a second grade teacher thought it was
appropriate to teach my child about pronouns, pronouns.
I was taught that there were only two pronouns.
But thanks to the woke left, there are now 100 pronouns.
>> All right, so that was a comedian Walter Masterson who was trolling a school
board meeting in Canetequat long island.
Not to be confused with Connecticut, but
they're a teacher was forced to remove a pride flag from the classroom, and
we're going to get more into that video of him trolling in a second.
But this is a disturbing trend that is happening where school boards across
the country are being overtaken by conservative packs.
They've really set our sites on school board elections,
which is an effective strategy of what you're interested in
is indoctrinating Children and having influence over their curriculums.
Their objectives are pretty simple, right leaning groups are spending millions
on candidates who promise to scale back teachings on race and sexuality.
Remove offending books from libraries and nix plans for
gender neutral bathrooms or transgender inclusive sports teams.
So at the center of this conservative effort is the 1776 project,
which is a direct response to the New York Times 1619 project where they're
providing curriculum for anyone to use to teach people about slavery.
So they're not very interested in teaching accurate history there.
And last fall in spring 1776 project pack succeeded in elevating conserve
Majorities to office in dozens of school districts across the United States
propelling candidates who have gone on to fire superintendents.
And enact sweeping bill of rights for parents.
And they are continuing on their warpath.
In the wake of recent victories in Texas and Pennsylvania and
having spent $2 million April of 2021 in this past August.
The group is campaigning for dozens of candidates this fall and
supporting candidates in Maryland's Frederick and Carroll counties in
Bentonville, Arkansas and 20 candidates across Southern Michigan.
Unfortunately, this is really not just happening in conservative areas.
It's happening in very liberal areas as well, like Philly and Minneapolis.
Another one of these conservative think tanks is the American principles project.
They put a combined $25,000 behind four candidates for
the Polk County Board in Florida.
The group's fundraising average surged from under $50,000
the year before the pandemic to about $2 million dollars now.
So these conservative PACs see themselves as a response to teachers unions who they
feel have too much influence over the curriculum for their students.
In Maryland's Frederick County, the 1776 group is backing three school board
candidates against for endorsed by education unions.
The conservatives are running as education, not indoctrination slate.
They're running as the education not indoctrination slate with
a digital ad saying Children are being held captive by schools.
That ad shows a picture of stacked books bearing the words equity,
grooming, indoctrination, and critical race theory.
Now, before we get back to what went down in long Island with that flag in
the classroom.
What are your thoughts on this?
>> So this group called Patriot Mobile spent
$400,000 in a school board in north Texas.
Do you have any idea how much 400,000 is in a school board race?
That's like spending, >> The entire budget of everything
[LAUGH].
>> By the way, our kids don't even have books and pencils and stuff.
Imagine if you gave the $400,000 to school,
how much better their education would be, right?
But spending 400,000 on those tiny little elections is like the equivalent of
spending like a trillion dollars on a national election.
It's just blasting everybody in the race.
So like the conservatives have run out of seats to buy, right?
Republicans have bought so many seats at the national level.
They get so much corporate money.
They get so much money from everywhere, right?
They bought the national guys and they moved to the state guys and they bought so
many guys.
They took over the states, they gerrymandered them,
they got it on lock down.
They're like they ran out of things to buy.
They're like, okay, which politicians should we buy next?
I don't know.
Let's go to random school boards now.
And I say, I don't know jokingly because why are they doing it?
I know why they're doing it, because it's indoctrination.
It's the most ironic thing in the world.
What the schools are teaching now or is actually history, and math, and
science, and these guys don't like that.
They're like, no, no I don't.
You're teaching that America had racism.
No I don't want it.
Spend $400,000 by the entire school board and
then we'll teach them that there was no racism in America.
A slavery, what name so, right?
We'll just make it up.
We'll do, we'll replace their stupid facts with propaganda and
look right wingers love that.
They don't want the truth.
They don't want it.
So like they theoretically don't like corruption, and
I actually give the right wing voters credit all the time.
One of the reasons they like Trump in 2016 was he kept saying drain the swamp, right?
And they really do want the swamp drained but when you tell them, yeah but
can we just do corruption to buy the entire school board so
we can make you feel better about your ancestors passed.
They're like, Yeah, yeah.
I didn't know you meant that.
Yeah.
Then go ahead and do the corruption.
And just in case just like I want to explain in case you're new to American
politics.
How do they go by the board.
The $400,000 buys you ads that
goes to everybody in that area that votes 12 times over.
The other side never gets sick.
And then they lie in the ads like I remember that is a different race.
But when Nina Turner was running she's like the biggest advocate for
$15 minimum wage, right?
The they bought ads saying she was against $15 minimum wage.
They just lied.
They just lied, they took her popular position and said the exact opposite.
So now people do not sitting there neck deep in politics to get the thing and
goes they're teaching your kids, they're gonna to switch your kids gender and
they panic and they go okay I'm gonna vote for you, right?
And they put these monsters in.
So that's what's happening now all across the country.
>> I gotta give it to the evil genius that is the GOP
because they're so diabolical and yet so clever.
They were like, what I know to keep them dumb start them young.
Like that was just they just decided like how young?
Like diapers, that's we're gonna star when they're just learning to read and
write just yeah keep them dumb starting then.
We're gonna buy the schools, teach them so they can never not be dumb.
And then just continue their dumb journey till they grow up and
are old enough to vote for us.
>> But Helen what you're saying is actually kind of literal.
Because and I wrote about this in my book justiceiscomingbook.com if you want
to preorder It's the Lewis Powell memo in 1971 he was a lawyer for
the chamber of Commerce.
One of his ideas was taking over the Supreme Court.
Oops so they could legalize money in politics.
Oops.
But another idea was go take over education.
And he said by the way he said you should go do a lot of speakers on college
campuses as part of the takeover of education.
And if they don't let you do corporate propaganda,
in essence then say that they're against freedom.
They planned that back in 1971.
>> That's how clever they are.
They're so diabolical.
They were planning this in 1971 and now it's all coming to fruition.
Why are they so evil and genius?
>> Yeah, that's true.
>> Really quick.
Let's get into what this guy was trolling in the last bit of his trolling.
So the teacher is an out member of the LGBT community.
Was first asked to take her progress pride flag down from her classroom in September.
The classroom is also used for gay straight alliance club meetings.
When the teacher did not take the flag down, she was called into the principal's
office and eventually took them down on October 6th.
So let's look at the flag that she had up.
This is the progress pride flag.
It's a variation of the older flag with the addition of black and
brown representation for people of color.
And the pink, light, blue, and white represent trans gender,
non-binary intersects and those across the gender spectrum.
And this led to protests at the school, which is super shocking.
So let's actually watch the rest of this comedian's footage at that school board
meeting.
>> Patriot, I love freedom of speech.
Who loves freedom of speech?
[APPLAUSE] I love freedom of speech except when it comes to pride
flags in schools teaching history.
There's a whole list of books I wanna ban from the school library.
I wanna ban kneeling at football games.
The point is we need to protect our Children, okay?
Which is why we need more security in our schools.
We need cops patrolling the hallway.
We should also hire cops as teachers.
And the students, they should also be cops.
Like in 21 jump street, who saw that?
Yeah.
Now we need to get back to the fundamentals.
We need to take down the pride flag with the American flag back up.
And we need to like force every child to salute it in the morning, right?
That makes sense?
Yeah.
Thank you.
>> [LAUGH] >> This reminds me of the reaction to
Stephen Colbert when there were so many people who identified as conservative,
they watch Stephen Colbert.
They were like, this is so funny.
He's making fun of leftist, leftist watched Colbert and said, this is great.
He's making fun of conservatives, brilliant satire.
I don't think all of those applause or
folks applauding understood that was comedy.
>> Yes, it's true cuz you can tell by watching like who was clapping for
him in the audience.
There were some people who like hahaha I get it.
And some people like yeah.
>> Freed up, ban the books.
Freed up ban the books.
>> So true.
By the way, I have performed stand up comedy in Long Island.
And I can attest no offense Long Island, but
y'all are not all the brightest bulb in Long Island.
I'm just gonna put that out there and just say I did comedy in Long Island and
making fun of like Asian stereotypes and stuff.
And they were definitely members of the audience in Long Island who
are like, I get it.
And some people were like, yeah, she's making fun of her own people.
Jesus man, by the way, it ain't Mississippi, it ain't Florida,
that's Long Island man, that's in New York.
>> It's like 20 minutes outside of New York City.
Walter Masterson does a great job with that.
He's been on the show before and I love the way that he punked him.
And you're right, I hadn't thought of the Colbert thing and
I remember that at some point people said when he was doing that
fake Bill O'Reilly character on his comedy central show.
That right wingers were believing that he was actually right wing.
And I was like, no, that's no way, that's too much guys,
you're being unfair to the right wing.
Now that I've seen all the Trump stuff, My God, it was true.
They really believed he was trying to do like an O'Reilly like show
my God God help us all.
>> This is just to keep them young.
To keep them dumb, start young.
>> The new GOP slogan by the way they'll think it's real.
They're like that's a good idea, that's a good idea, that's what we should do and
they'll put it up, take the pride flag down, put put Helen's flag up.
She doesn't even like the Asians.
>> [LAUGH]
