Lance: How’s America actually being transformed? Charlie Kirk told me years ago, he said, Lance, whatever’s happening on the campus and in the classroom in one generation, in one hour is going to be on your streets and in your government in the next. I think that while men slept, an enemy came in among us and planted in the school system and the universities to take over of America. 20% of your children now identify as being wrong sex. They’ve been bludgeoned,beaten up, manipulated, intimidated, and dominated by a witchcraft into thinking they have a soul that is one gender trapped in a body that’s another. Revealing the schizophrenia of a nation. Our children are now the ones who are being indoctrinated and they’re on their way to being the leaders and the voters in the future. What kind of country will we be? Can we survive the discipline, masculine, singularity of a communist China nation?
They see us weak and their planning our takeover. We’re going to talk today about what’s going on actually in the education system, what Linda and Bill Gates are actually funding what Zuckerberg’s actually funding and you’re going to be shocked when you hear this message. But it really comes down to the gathering of the dangerous. The only antidote to this is going to be Godmobilizing a vigorous supernatural awakening. It’s going to have to be civic because we’re going to have to take on the education system and government. Like it or not, they’re coming for you. You’re going to have to go build a firewall politics and in media. Like I’m doing right now and in your local campuses and we are taking background as we learn how to do it. I want you to get the gathering of the dangerous, how God is going to answer the threat to America by a unique collaboration between the prophetic voices like mine out there in media. The civic engagement of political forces and the sacred engagement of great awakening preachers. This is going to be the gathering of the dangerous. Want you to go grab a hold of this message “Lancewallnau.com/gathering”. “Lancewallnau.com/gathering” and let’s get into this powerful broadcast right now.
Welcome, welcome back again to the Lance Wallnau Show. The show that gives you hope but not hopeium perspective with a prophetic element. And hopefully, I’m going to become for you a Pentecostal Rush Limbaugh to help you know what’s happening with the news behind the news and yet feed your faith. Now, we’ve got like 10 million, close to 10 million downloads as we started this and this audience has made it possible. So, I so respect you and so love this group and these people that I’m always looking forward to your comments. You go to “Lancewallnau.com/podcast” I think and you could keep in touch with me and you could send me your questions. Also, some guest that you’d like me to interview.
I have someone today that I think is going to really help all of us. Tamara Farah has been on the advisory council with Turning Point, Charlie Kirk’s a friend of mine. Strategic partner for parents know best. So, she’s been working as a senior director for Moms for America. She knows what’s going on with the schools. She knows what to do to make a difference. She speaks the language of a parent and a patriot, a businesswoman and a believer. Checks off all the boxes that are the great demographic of the women in this audience and I want you now to meet Tamara Farah.Welcome to the Lance Wallnau Show.
Tamara Farah: So, good to be with you Lance. Thank you so much for having me.
Lance: Well, listen your introduction could be even bigger than that but I want to jump into what people are going to resonate with which is also even if I would human trafficking which is I suppose connected to this whole battle with youth and children. Although I don’t know the connection. I don’t see how that connection works. But go ahead and start us off with what got you passionately involved with this and what can you help my audience learn?
Tamara Farah: Absolutely thank you. Well like many people, I woke up to what was happening in schools during COVID Parents sure did when they looked over their kid’s shoulders and looked on the computer and saw some of the things those kids were being sent. Links they were being sent like scarlatina which is pornographic material. Showing kids how to create sadomasochistic tools from the junk door in the kitchen. It’s unbelievable and I have a passion for training parents. I have a heart for these kids. I want parents to understand their parental rights and we have just created a guidebook with a background and a deep dive on what those rights are. Pardon me. As well as how to’s for exercising them and I want to get into all of that Lance. If it’s okay with you, I would like to just set the stage first for your viewers. So, they understand who’s controlling education and what the message kids are getting in school.
So, what we’re dealing with is an education cabal and there are three components, the Departments of Education, Federal and State, powerful non-government organizations that are funding these curricula and teachers’ union. So, let’s go all the way back to our founders. They respect the 10th amendment rights of states, right, okay? They wanted core academics taught. Actually, that was what was taught in those days, good old one room school houses, etcetera. Believe it or not, core academics and discipline, right? Remember that? Lost that a long time ago, but then, fast forward to the 1979 law that established the United States Department of Education. Interestingly, it explicitly supports the fundamental right of parents. Now, government doesn’t give rights to parents, God does. Those rights are fundamental and supreme but nonetheless, we’re glad when government supports what’s true, but I think they have fallen far from what that law said. They’re actually violating that law.
So, if we look back over the last 100 years, socialists knew in the early 90 or excuse me, 20thcentury that weapons of war were not going to win the west. So, they knew they had to capture hearts and minds of Americans and of course, if you’re going to do that, you have to start with kids. So, just in one sentence, I’ll say this, the Eastern European Marxist from the Frankfort School in the earliest 20 century started getting into the philosophy within American schools.And then one of the leading advocates of this critical pedagogy is actually a South American educator who’s getting much more exposed recently, Paolo Frere. His influence hit higher education in the 1980s. Do we all remember When colleges started to go down the tubes and become so socialist in their thinking and in their training of kids. Well, this is from Paolo Frere‘s critical pedagogy and then of course K through 12 has been infected by it recently
The core of this pedagogy means building critical consciousness, breeding political and social activism in kids in schools and I’m just going to give one example of this. It’s going to blow your listener’s mind. But parents need to know what they’re up against. A Rhode Island activist teacher. We got more and more of these activist teachers that are all over TikTok etcetera. They took the class to the capital in Rhode Island after Uvalde shooting. They had the students Lance lay prostrate on the floor of the Capitol to demonstrate support for anti-gun laws. What in the world does that have to do with reading, writing, and arithmetic? And on that note, 94% of kids in Providence, Rhode Island are not proficient in math. It’s heartbreaking. 86% can’t read and write. So, there’s more we could say on that, but the bottom line is most schools have abandoned the idea of educating American children to become successful and prosperous adults.
I went to public school for years. I felt that that’s what I was getting that type of encouragement,but now the goal is critical pedagogy and it is to destroy and replace American society. We just have to hit that nail on the head. This is betraying the trust of the public and parents and it’s supported by the federal and state departments of education.
Lance: Let me ask you a question about this. So, you go you’re going to like you said you got the teachers unions, the Department of Education itself but the third part of that leg I was missing. It’s the organizations that fund the genders. Are there organizations like left-wing organizations that are shaping the education Department agenda? How is that done?
Tamara Farah: Well, the education department has in their budget to fund the social and emotional learning. They have a significant number in Biden’s fiscal year 2023 budget. But that budget or excuse me, that curriculum has been developed by a non-government organization. And I’ll give you one more example of that. A recent study revealed philanthropy’s bid to control public school. So, Equity Math was a curriculum that was funded in 2017 through 2020 to the tune of $200 million dollars in 70 school districts and it was funded by none other than Bill & Melinda, Gates, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Wallace Foundation, the WK Kellogg Foundation, and the Windward Fund and these are usual suspects. But listen to this, the Gates Foundation in its, explanation of this equity math criticized Lance the concept of getting the right answer. And I’m quoting it right here. “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false”. And the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuates objectivity.
Lance: Now think about this. The IRS doesn’t have that philosophy when they’re calculating your taxes. The FAA doesn’t have that philosophy when it’s giving a trajectory for a runway.
Tamara Farah: Absolutely.
Lance: The hospitals don’t do that when it comes to how many stitches you have to put into an artery in order to block it. In other words, I’m surprised that Bill Gates who is such an aficionado of technology would say numbers don’t matter. What is what so this is the why would they be doing this? I mean I got to get my head wrapped around. If I’m in a cocktail party and I corner them they’re not stupid people. They come off like they’re normal and misunderstood. What’s the rationale? Is this like embedded in a curriculum that has broader agendas and this is part of it, but what’s the thinking on their part?
Tamara Farah: It appears to me with the philosophy that I shared that’s permeating schools and with this equity math just being one example of highly damaging curriculum is that they truly do have that Marxist agenda. They don’t want the next generation of everyday people, right? They’re looking for a workforce. If you’re going to go full blown Marxist socialist, communist. That’s what you’re looking for. You’re not looking for smart people per se that want to look for their own success.
Lance: Really?
Tamara Farah: Like we’ve had in the American dream. That’s one analysis that I would have on it. It it’s mind boggling to think but you can control people that are bred to be ignorant. Let’s face it. It’s shocking to even think that way.
Lance: Alright.
Tamara Farah: Which is the other reason why we have to fight and then the third part of the cabal is the teacher’s union.
Lance: Well yeah, the teacher’s union is I mean that’s like how do you fight that? How do you fight the teacher’s union? I mean once you’re unionized, it’s and the universities are where they’re being trained, I guess as teachers they get their orientation in the universities. I’ve talked to Jordan Peterson about this. And Peterson said there is a solution. But the solution would require a decade to fix. And this is part of what he said. He said, the only thing that universities go by is money and they are bloated with money and they don’t need what they’ve got. They’re hypocrites because they taught socialism but they charge you like a capitalist. So, he said, it would take about 10 years, but what we need to do is to fund the scholarships of, basically he was speaking as a person who wasn’t speaking as a Christian. He was saying, you need people that have a western civilization mindset regarding knowledge. He said, they don’t even have to be overtly evangelical. They just simply have to be like he is.
Someone who believes a truth is objective and verifiable and that you don’t want to go Marxist because you go stupid. And he said, there are ways in which you can test and find who are the master’s degree candidates that could go into the teaching profession and begin to repopulate schools and universities as actual western worldview thinkers. And he said that, and if we vigorously funded these scholarship programs for these students, the universities would take them. Because they don’t care about your ideology, they care about making money. And he said and gradually you’d recede who the teachers are. I couldn’t get anybody to take me up on this because I don’t have a Zuckerberg out there or a Bill Gates who’ll drop 50 million or 10 million and to say, let me just prove to you what can happen in 5 years, three years. You know what I mean? But I mean, Peterson’s thinking long range. He says, you have to affect the worldview of the teachers because they’re being shaped ideologically contrary to a western civ world you. So, what kind of actions can people take?
Tamara Farah: I think that sounds like a smart strategy and you hit the nail on the head with the linchpin issue and that is where are our billionaires. We’ve rubbed shoulders with some of them through the years, through different efforts and initiatives and that type of thing. But they are just not, some of them are very generous with certain projects but they’re not like the left. The left, their hope is in this world. I don’t know. They want to control it. They are the elites. They are 1to 2% and this is their agenda and they’re parting with their money to support it and I think that is one of our biggest challenges on the right is getting people to fund things. Big things, big things that are will change the game.
So, and then teachers’ unions, they’re all in on this. So, you can have really great teachers but if the back of the union has not been broken or if people, if new teachers don’t have to stand up to the pressures from their union. Or opt out which in many cases, they can now but they probably don’t know it. They’re going to be taught things like, and I’ll just say this one example for teachers’ unions, even as far back as 2015, they provided a training guide for teachers to support transgender students in K through 12. To assure that schools and classrooms are safe and welcoming. They quote said, it would be a lifesaver for the teachers to help these kids because there’s an increasing number of transgender students.
Lance: Oh yeah, 20%.
Tamara Farah: They’re living their authentic selves though.
Lance: Of course.
Tamara Farah: This is in the training.
Lance: This is what they’re teaching and this is by the way this is what’s feeding the homeschool movement. I’m sorry to say.
Tamara Farah: Yes.
Lance: We’re turning over the masses of the unthinking Americans to the piranhas in the school system, but it is feeding alternative education.
Tamara Farah: Which is very exciting.
Lance: Yeah, it is and there are plenty of parents who are who are actually now become and Youngrin reveal revealed something in politics in Virginia.
Tamara Farah: Yes.
Lance: And that is if you message around families versus government and your right to have authority to protect and to do what’s in the best interest of your children versus the government telling you what you’re going to do. It feeds into ironically the same kind of message manipulation the left uses all the time to get their people in. Which is their anti-authoritarianironically like Trump’s the authoritarian and of course the mask mandates and vaccine mandate people weren’t. But Youngrin showed something that it’s possible for a conservative to win the argument. If you let people know how dangerous and belligerent and authoritarian the teachersunions and the curriculum pushers and the Department of Education, Agendaites are really going after their children. You can beat them if you message it right. I don’t think the Republicans caught that message very well.
Tamara Farah: I agree with you. Most parents have heard about the non, we won’t we don’t have time to go to it but obviously the non-academic woke curricular and the Marxist agenda curriculum, social emotional learning, I mentioned that. Critical race theory. So, when I talk about a critical pedagogy, it’s one and the same including the 1619 project and revisionist history. So, this this lack of objectivity, this concept that it’s about your truth and not objective truth. This is how the woman who wrote the 1619 Project nineteen Project gets away with it, Lance. Because they’re shifting the mindset toward your truth versus objective truth as we discussed earlier. Obviously, diversity, equity, and inclusion which is not diverse, is not equitable and is not inclusive. And then the whole gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender identity and these things have nothing to do with academics. They have nothing they are of no help to children.
As a matter of fact, New York Times poll show that 70% of registered voters are strongly or somewhat against teachers pushing gender identity. Identity and sexual orientation in elementary school and 50% in junior and senior high. So, there’s a lot of Americans that are not on board with this. You mentioned school choice. We’re definitely backing money following the child. There’s a lot of great bills that have been introduced in a number of States this year. Governor Reynolds in Iowa just passed an incredible bill. You’ll have to have her on your show. I listened to her story. It was awesome. She had a great strategy for getting that done and a very strategy. This is what we need.
Lance: Well, just for my viewers probably don’t know any more than me. So, what happened in Iowa? I’m trying to keep off with Tim Barton. I’m interviewing him so much. What’s going on? So, what happened?
Tamara Farah: So, the Governor of Iowa worked through for three years to pass basically a Money Follows the Child Education Savings Account Bill and she understood, she took the time to understand who her detractors were and how to fix it. So, she had the first year she and also,she took a different approach. Many people start with smaller, asking for less and build up to ask for the whole enchilada, right? When they write a bill. She did it the other way around and she asked for the whole enchilada and she got to keep it. But how she did that is she actually endorsed candidates running against the 9 who kept voting down her bill in the statehouse. But she got went further than that. Most of those legislators represented rural Iowa districts and she grew up in the rural Iowa area. So, what she did is she took the time to go and meet with them,with the schools and the superintendents and boards in those communities to find out what the lynchpin issue was and there were some things they needed funding for and she put it in the bill.
So, she not only did she win eight of those 9 seats with the candidates she endorsed, but even the 9th person that had voted against voted for. So, sometimes it’s just having good strategy, having worked in lobbying for legislation. But with the education savings accounts and with school choice, it’s phenomenal what has happened and I’m thankful. I think it’d be great if everybody could bring their kids home. We brought our kids home. Our kids are 34 and 30. My daughter just told me that her favorite years were the 2 years I homeschooled her in junior high. We brought our both of them home to do online education and we did it because we believed that it was best for them. And traditionally, 90% of kids are in public schools and now it’s down to 80. Lance, that’s huge. That’s a lot of kids being brought home.
Lance: Yeah.
Tamara Farah: And there’s lots of options now there when you’re bringing kids home. Any charter schools are getting infected. We help start a charter school in Colorado, but some of them have been infected by this woke ideology unfortunately.
Lance: Well, I think as soon as parents really understand what’s happening, they actually don’t buy in and the data is clear that most of this is ignorant. I mean, what’s happening here is similar to what happened was in 9/11. Our Miami and Florida flight schools were open to anyone and it never occurred to anyone that it was maybe you want to red flag someone who is from the Middle East that doesn’t like the United States who only wants to learn how to fly but not land a plane. I mean, that should have been a red flag. Why would you want to take it off and not land it? Well, maybe you’re not planning on landing it.
So, we’ve got that happening. It’s Al-Qaeda is in the school system and they’re destroying America from the Inside Out. One of the key organizations I want everybody know about is RFIA “RestoringFaithinAmerica.org”. I’m always talking about the Kelly Shack over victory with the Lemon Law with the Coach Kennedy case. We are simply not informed. We don’t realize we’ve already won a major case that shut down 7,000 citations of government shutting down freedom of religious expression in even the school system so that you can now put 10 commandments up in your classroom believe it or not. A Bible in your desk and it’s in the teacher’s curriculum even in California of all places that Jesus Christ, the Old Testament, New Testament, the Bible are legitimate subjects to have open talks and discussion about.
So, it’s not just the LGBT activist that have parameters to work with. You’ve got operate, you got freedom for Christians to do stuff they don’t even know they could do, and it’s going to take some courageous Christians to do it. Go to “RFIA.org” and find out what we one at the Supreme Court that as if the walls of Jericho go down, we’re so used to circling them and complaining. We don’t know what to do when the walls go down. So, how can people follow you and what do you suggest they do, Tamara, to stay connected with you?
Tamara Farah: Well, I tell you “ParentsKnowBest.com”.” ParentsKnowBest.com” is a great website. We have a lot of resources. We can help parents and citizens understand how they can run for school board. We have training. We can help or they can help someone who’s running for school board and we also have a school board member academy for those who run and win.Because I tell you the left rushes in to coop these new school board members and indoctrinate them on their method of putting up and shutting up, shutting up and putting up when they’re on the board. But we have a different plan for board members. And to continue or to start speaking up at school board meetings. State facts go on the record, take back their talking points, be on offense.
We’re also encouraging parents to get out there and hold rallies and press conferences and we can help you do that. We’ve done those numerous times and in numerous ways and there’s just a lot of equipping that we can provide for parents and citizens.
Lance: Well, I’m going to Encourage everybody to do this. “ParentsKnowBest.com” and Mario Murillo and I are looking at doing these rallies. We have thousands of people that come to our meetings and one of the things we want to do is we want to start having breakouts where parents that want to become activated and engage in the school board can join an organization. So, would your organization be the kind of people that could do those breakouts in any state?
Tamara Farah: We can make things work with you. Absolutely. We’ll figure it out.
Lance: Alright. Well, we’re going to look forward to doing some more work together. Tamara, thank you so much for being on. By the way, your husband has a great podcast. I just listened to it today. Barry Farah, is he still doing that? Because I had my office print out a transcript on the 7languages, or the 7 personalities of the voters out there and he wrote off how to pull off a mediocre win which is a great title. But Barry Farah, go guys want to check him out. FARAH, and listen to his podcast just got great insights. Thanks to both you for all of your what your work you’re doing and for your friendship. God bless you.
Tamara Farah: Thank you so much.
Lance: Alright well there you have it. There are there are people out there, folks that are actually doing this is grassroots. This isn’t going to happen at the national level. Don’t expect the White House to announce this. You guys got to really check out “ParentsKnowBest.com” and look at how to be informed and engage in your own backyard.
Closing: Did you enjoy this latest episode? Please remember to share it with your friends.Because the more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to navigate the world.
Lance: With the instability happening in the market right now and with inflation going up at the dollar and it’s like seems to be like in its free fall. We’re watching the stock market make some terrible reckoning adjustments. And where are people going? Well, when cash is unstable people put their money in a store of value gold and silver and precious metals. What I didn’t know till recently and I should have known it is that you can take your 401K and you can actually convert it and put it into an account that has silver and gold. That means that your 401K retirement savings is going to be in silver and gold so as the dollar starts to get unstable or decline, your gold and silver value is guarding your retirement. Now, this is the tax-exempt strategy that Birch Gold can advise you on. You want to go to Lancewallnau.com/Birch”. Talk to one of their consultants. Download the report and learn how you can convert a 401K or your retirement plan into gold and silver. Accounts secure and protect your money and have peace of mind. “Lancewallna.com/Birch”.
