00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.879
are you ready, because it's time for us to stand up,

15
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:41.359
speak out, get involved, and let's be intentional now. During

16
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.879
COVID and the remote learning era, American parents were shocked awake,

17
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.640
and they became very hyper aware that their children were

18
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.959
being trained up in sexual orientation and queer theory ideology

19
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.280
rather than reading, writing, and arithmetic. Children were being surveyed

20
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:09.280
about their gender identity and handed these obscene library books

21
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.120
in order to read, and there are reports that children

22
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:19.719
were being given the experimental mRNA, COVID injection, and transitioned

23
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.879
in school under the shroud of secrecy without parents' consent

24
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.719
and a sh don't tell mom or dad. When parents

25
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.719
stood up and began attending school board meetings, speaking out

26
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:42.400
and protecting their own children, they became labeled domestic terrorists

27
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.680
by the Biden Harris regime. At the behest of the

28
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.560
National School Boards Association or the NSBA, word was out

29
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:57.400
that under Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, the education system

30
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:03.280
and the student testing schools dramatically declined. The National Assessment

31
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.039
of Educational Progress or NAEP exams in twenty twenty two

32
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.120
revealed that sixty four percent of fourth grade students and

33
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.560
seventy three percent of eighth grade students were not proficient

34
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.960
in math, and sixty six percent of fourth grade students

35
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.120
and sixty nine percent of eighth grade students were not

36
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.319
proficient in reading. The twenty twenty four NAP exams they

37
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.280
should be coming out within probably the next couple weeks,

38
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.360
so we'll see the results of that. But additionally, student

39
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.280
scores in twenty twenty three, trends in the International Mathematics

40
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.879
and Science Study show a decline in math scores for

41
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.879
both fourth grade and eighth grade students since the prior

42
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.400
testing had been conducted back in twenty nineteen. There is

43
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:04.000
much much more. However, this has led many parents to

44
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.319
withdraw their children from the public education system, and a

45
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.360
clarion call has gone out saying, get the government out

46
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.199
of education, bring it back to the States. Enter in

47
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.920
Donald J. Trump, who has confirmed that he will disband

48
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.160
the Department of Education and push for local control. But

49
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.959
is it that easy? I mean, are there issues that

50
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.600
we really need to look into at this point in time?

51
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.480
Must if we have open discourse to talk through what's good,

52
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.480
what's bad, what's ugly about all of this? Is there

53
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:49.839
a concern that this could tie into the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Okay,

54
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.879
you got me, You got me, yes of course. So

55
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.800
today we have brought in an expert, doctor Julianne Ramanello.

56
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.920
She is a mother, she is an educator, and she

57
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.199
is a researcher as well as an activist for the truth.

58
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.920
Doctor Ramanello has been working on multiple fronts exposing the

59
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:17.519
Fourth Industrial Revolution, the high tech, smart energy, advanced robotic data, surveillance,

60
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:22.680
digitalization of humans, and she is determined to reveal the

61
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.519
truth of how the great reset and communitarianism is being

62
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.639
rolled out and the mechanisms by which they are disseminated

63
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:38.399
both to local organizations and institutional education educational institutions. Excuse me,

64
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:44.000
welcome with me, doctor Julianne Ramanello. Hello, my friend. How

65
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.759
are you. It's good to see you again.

66
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.000
It is great to see you, Mick. I'm doing well

67
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.879
and I appreciate this opportunity to be on your show

68
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.959
and talk about lots of fun things, right right.

69
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.240
It's exciting. And you know, Julian, you and I have

70
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.959
done multiple shows together before I joined up with Talk

71
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.720
for Media. You have really a vast amount of expertise,

72
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.680
and you've done many presentations on school choice and really

73
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.959
the pipeline to a global workforce, which we're really talking

74
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.519
about today. Before though, we jump in, Julian and I

75
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.639
really wanted to see if you take like a few

76
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.800
moments and just tell everybody just a little bit about

77
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.720
who you are and your background so they know how

78
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.120
wonderful and terrific you are.

79
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.399
Okay, I'll try so. In twenty nineteen, I was teaching

80
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.560
at the University of Tulsa. I taught in the honors program,

81
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.680
so that is philosophy, is Western civilization, and it had

82
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.160
little to do I thought with with some of the well,

83
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.600
I let me back up, it had the the topics

84
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.240
that we're going to talk about today were not on

85
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:07.160
my radar at all. So the Fourth Industrial Revolution advanced robotics.

86
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.000
I had to stop there for a second because actually

87
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.040
my academic training in political philosophy and theory helped me

88
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.360
to understand both the language and the aspirations of what

89
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.480
we're seeing roll out. So you know, I had to

90
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.240
That's why I had to sort of do a double

91
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.439
check as I was setting this up.

92
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:33.800
Awkwardly, but had to recover myself.

93
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.000
So I was teaching there and the university was subject

94
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:45.040
to a takeover basically by a local philanthropist billionaire here

95
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.879
in Oklahoma, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and so they were rebranding

96
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:56.720
the university, restructuring it, and the humanities and the liberal

97
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.120
arts were a huge target for this, Okay, So I

98
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.959
wanted to understand what was going on. Why would a

99
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.040
group of businessmen, working with philanthropists and seeing the city

100
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:13.560
government try to kill off this university that had been

101
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.879
around for many, many decades and had been in the

102
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:23.160
top twenty five of schools performing nationwide. And then I

103
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.839
started digging in, and what explained that takeover was the

104
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:36.600
need to control the educational pipeline, and universities are at

105
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:43.519
the forefront. They're the capstone of this P twenty pipeline

106
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.799
to the workforce, so pre k or pre school all

107
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.759
the way to the workforce. That's the P twenty pipeline

108
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:58.399
that is really driven by what the universities are doing.

109
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:04.039
So businessmen, philanthropists, globalists who have their own agenda that

110
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.679
coincides perfectly with the Great Reset, they have to get

111
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:14.080
universities involved because there's a prestige linked to those institutions,

112
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.840
and people trust those institutions, or they did until you know,

113
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.360
twenty twenty and COVID and all of the topics that

114
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.360
you mentioned. But universities are prize assets in the propaganda

115
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.320
machine that supports the Great Reset and all of the

116
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.799
transformations that have to occur in order for that plan

117
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.120
to be fully implemented. So the more I started digging in,

118
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.919
you know, the more connections I would see, and it

119
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.159
was all confirmed by white papers from corporations, governments and

120
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.759
so on. So when you see that and you have

121
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:58.600
four children who are My kids are aged six to thirteen,

122
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.840
and I think, you know, what, what are they going to do?

123
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.559
How are they going to navigate this world in which,

124
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.879
you know, giant corporations would love for them to just

125
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.559
have the neuralink programmed into them.

126
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.320
And it is real.

127
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:19.559
It sounds totally far fetched, but it's real. And when

128
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.440
you are confronted with the truth of that, you just

129
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.159
want to educate everyone that you can so that we

130
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.799
can try to find ways to stop it.

131
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.840
Absolutely, and I'm so grateful. There was much there that

132
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.039
I that I didn't recognize or realize about your background,

133
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.159
and I think it's important for us to really kind

134
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.639
of dig in, especially when we're talking about disbanding the

135
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.759
Department of Education. Now I'll raise my hand, I'm for it, okay,

136
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:55.039
but but I have concerns, and Julianne, that's why I

137
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.440
wanted you to come on. I really want to kind

138
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.279
of hand the floor over to you so you can

139
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.240
walk us through. You know, these areas that need to

140
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.320
be considered. You know, you and I have have had

141
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:13.480
discussions that that this is something that is significant and

142
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.080
there's no black or white. I mean, there's so many

143
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.279
shades of gray when you're talking about school choice and

144
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.919
tax credits and technology and what it means for our

145
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.919
constitutional government. I mean, it's just like massive shades of

146
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:32.320
gray from charcoal to like gray. So I think every

147
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.320
taxpayer must be hyper vigilant. Whether you have children in

148
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.200
school or not, it doesn't matter. You still pay taxes.

149
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.200
And we need to kind of uncover the good, the bad,

150
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.919
the ugly. We need to be willing to have the conversations,

151
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.720
and we need to be willing to engage with our

152
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:53.480
appropriate leaders, because Julianne. Right now we have what I

153
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.679
consider to be a good man and leader and Ryan

154
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.360
Walters as the superintendent of instruction. But what I don't

155
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.639
know is will he be re elected, will he step

156
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.600
to another role and run for governor? How many people

157
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:13.440
are left over from joy Hoffmeister's time is superintendent in

158
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.840
significant positions that may be able to oversee policy and input.

159
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:23.480
And as we know, Hoffmeister was very much a leftist,

160
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.639
and she pushed for social emotional learning and critical race

161
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.879
theory and diversity, equity and inclusion and transgender programs in

162
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:36.360
the school. And what congressional members are out there or

163
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.679
other elected non elected officials that may want to fill

164
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.039
in those gaps with whatever they can and just sort

165
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.039
of you know, you and I have talked about this,

166
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.960
fill up whatever void may be out there. So Julianne,

167
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.200
I'm going to toss it over to you. You've got

168
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:57.159
a slide presentation for us, and you just tell us

169
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.919
when to advance the slides and are in incredible wonderful

170
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.720
producer Rebel is there in the background helping us, and

171
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.159
I'm going to be her taking notes, and if I

172
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.320
have any questions, I'm just going to jump in.

173
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.720
Please do, please do, and thank you again for this opportunity.

174
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.360
So what I'll try to do is sketch out a

175
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:23.480
general pattern of where we are headed as a new

176
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.600
global order, and the United States is absolutely a part

177
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.480
of this, even with Donald J. Trump in office, especially

178
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.960
with Donald J. Trump in office. So I hope that

179
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.440
what I talked about today will be a wake up

180
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:43.039
call to conservatives who might be feeling, you know, that

181
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.360
they might be in the honeymoon phase and so excited

182
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.120
about some of the executive orders that we see coming

183
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.480
out of the White House, and then of course the

184
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:57.759
States you see similar action mirroring what President Trump.

185
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.960
Is doing at the national level.

186
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.519
To you know, to get rid of obsolete laws, to

187
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:11.000
dismantle inefficient government departments, and to decentralize or localize the

188
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.639
functions of government. So all of those things, you know,

189
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:19.799
tend to make conservatives swoon, you know, and that's when

190
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:24.399
we lose our vigilance. And so I hope that what

191
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.559
we go over today will be a reminder for conservatives especially,

192
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.200
but people who care about constitutional government and the rule

193
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.799
of law generally to say, hey, the battle is not over.

194
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:37.960
We are still in.

195
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.519
The thick of it.

196
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:43.360
If we want the rule of law, constitutional republic to

197
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.919
continue to be the dominant social ordering force in this country,

198
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.679
then we have to understand the bigger picture of where

199
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.879
things are going, and we have to get on our

200
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.519
elected officials, we have to educate our neighbors, and we've

201
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.559
really got to have a popular movement in support of

202
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.759
the people. Okay, So with that, that's sort of my

203
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.279
broad aim for this short talk.

204
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.440
So where are we headed?

205
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:18.440
Well, I have a graphic from a website that says

206
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.039
from Nation States to Network States, and this is from

207
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.039
Discourse magazine, and they write about all sorts of things

208
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.000
dealing with technology in the future of government. And we

209
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.080
have to remember when we evaluate what any of our

210
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.960
leaders are doing, and when we evaluate what President Trump

211
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:43.600
is doing, we need to know that Agenda Agenda twenty one,

212
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.399
Agenda twenty thirty, the Great Reset, whatever you want to

213
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.879
call it, the new international economic order, they all aim

214
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:58.200
at the dissolution of nation states and the new world

215
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.320
order of network states. That is crucial to remember. Okay,

216
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.120
So what is a network state? Quite simply, it is

217
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.240
a It is a regime that is controlled by AI.

218
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.559
So it's automated government, it's e government, it is digitalized government.

219
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.519
And so instead of you know, the messy process of

220
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:27.039
elected representatives making laws for the people, executing laws for

221
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.559
the people, justices that are you know, sort of loosely

222
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.840
tied to the people deciding on the meaning of those laws,

223
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:39.960
we are going to have a regime in which AI systems,

224
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:46.279
the smart cities, smart bodies, the internet of things, through

225
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:51.120
smart contracts and blockchain based technology that will control the

226
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.399
social order. It will enforce good behavior, and it will

227
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:01.240
ensure that all of the appropriate value to the globalist

228
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:06.599
world order are cultivated among the people. Okay, So that

229
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.079
is the goal. That is where we are headed toward

230
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.480
network states. Now, it's not going to happen in the

231
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:16.799
next two years. But we're pretty close. I mean, many

232
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.480
pieces are going to be have to be put in

233
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.960
place before we're really at the network state phase. But

234
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:32.640
we're seeing those pieces being laid out right now. And

235
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.880
has anyone seen Terminator?

236
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.799
Yeah, that's it, right, I mean we have seen we

237
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:44.680
have seen this kind of scenario developed in film for decades, right,

238
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:46.839
And this is where we're going.

239
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.200
And so you look at Elon Musk what he wants

240
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.039
to do. Look at what President Trump has said about

241
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.759
making the United States of America the cryptocurrency capital of

242
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:01.039
the world, the AI capital of the world, focusing on innovation,

243
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:06.160
which is the buzzword, and and extreme boundary technologies. All

244
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.200
of the goofy talk about going to marsh. This is

245
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:16.279
it all ties into transitioning to a networked state. Okay,

246
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.200
so that is the high level. Let me back up

247
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.640
one step and say what do we need to get there? Well,

248
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.920
obviously we need smart city infrastructure. And I would imagine,

249
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.119
Mick that your audience knows a little bit about smart

250
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.119
city infrastructure.

251
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:31.720
What it does?

252
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.039
I bet yeah, you know probably I would think you know,

253
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.960
that is the infrastructure that measures how many miles you

254
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.440
travel a day, your facial recognition is tied to your

255
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.680
digital identity, and you know, you have credits associated with

256
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.519
your carbon usage. So most people are sort of familiar

257
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.720
with that concept. You have to have that smart city

258
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.920
infrastructure in place in order to move to a network's

259
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.440
state model. People people are familiar with that. What they're

260
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:11.079
not as familiar with is the the need to privatize government. Now,

261
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:16.359
privatization was big under Clinton, you know, and and he

262
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:22.599
really had this push and and Obama uh and George H. W.

263
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.920
Bush I was just reading an executive order that he

264
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:33.400
put out about you know, uh outsourcing uh government activities

265
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:39.440
and using performance based contracts in the evaluation of government

266
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:44.640
service delivery. So we have seen for decades this move

267
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:52.079
toward privatizing what government does are outsourcing it and that

268
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.759
is generally achieved through a sort of intermediary step by

269
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.400
setting up a public private partnership, and that public private

270
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:04.680
partnership operates with this is how it's spun with the

271
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:10.480
efficiency of the private sector and the sort of trust

272
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:18.160
authority basis that that government policy holds and you know,

273
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.440
taxpayer money. I mean that's a grand purse right there.

274
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.799
So you get the best of both worlds. If you

275
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:31.240
have a public private partnership working to take over tasks functions,

276
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.000
you know, the authority that has traditionally been under the

277
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.839
control of the state. Right, So when we look at

278
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:44.359
what Trump is saying, what what his cabinet advisors are saying,

279
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:49.039
then we here, well, we're going to implement the Department

280
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.440
of Government and Efficiency. We're going to scrap all of

281
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:57.079
these wasteful programs. We're going to get rid of obsolete laws,

282
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:01.720
we're going to digital digitalized thing. But we're also going

283
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:06.240
to more heavily rely on the private sector to do

284
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:09.920
all of the things that we're used to government doing. Okay,

285
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.839
so it's a massive privatization effort, and it seems very

286
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.920
appealing to conservatives because and I consider myself basically a conservative,

287
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.359
right because it is you know, it is taking the

288
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:29.160
big brother aspect out right out of the delivery of

289
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:29.920
these programs.

290
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.200
Right.

291
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.480
And you know, we shouldn't trust government because, as old

292
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:39.640
adage goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely, So we need to

293
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:40.720
be vigilant here.

294
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.920
I'm your government, I'm here to help run Right.

295
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.880
But we've arrived at a point where corporations, especially big

296
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:57.200
tech corporations and the giant financial houses like the asset managers,

297
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.119
black Rock, Vanguards Street. You know, your audience is probably

298
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.240
familiar with those. You know, those kinds of private firms

299
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:11.440
I would say have more power than our governments do.

300
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:12.440
Okay.

301
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.680
So we're at a point where we're transferring all of

302
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.559
these government duties to the private sector because we think

303
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.440
it's going to be efficient. However, where the private sector

304
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.839
is absolutely and totally controlled by let's say, an oligarchy

305
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:33.480
of these financial elites and the corporations that do their

306
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.119
dirty work. So we need to be very very cautious

307
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:42.640
about anything that is aimed towards creating a public private

308
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:49.279
partnership or or privatizing government in general. Okay, So how

309
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.839
does this relate to school choice? You might ask, I've

310
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.400
thrown a lot at you. I think, right, no problem,

311
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.759
So you know, so I and and here's where I'll

312
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:05.319
try to jump into my slide share, but maybe just

313
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.200
a sentence or two about how these two are related

314
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:13.200
and on a big picture level, school choice is privatization

315
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:14.680
and people like it.

316
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:16.880
Right, Because, as you.

317
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:20.119
Set up in the intro to our talk today, Mick,

318
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:24.319
the last decade or so I would say twenty years

319
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:31.279
of public education in this country has been abysmal. It

320
00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:36.119
has been insulting to people. You know, so you have

321
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:42.440
terrible scores on mathematics and reading in the sciences. History.

322
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:46.880
No one even talks about how abysmal our knowledge.

323
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:47.400
Of history is.

324
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.480
But that has gone way down the tubes and in

325
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:55.960
favor of what all of this really goofy that's probably

326
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.599
too kind of word, ugly indoctrination that's gone on in

327
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.880
terms of, you know, all of the gender issues, all

328
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:09.000
of the critical race theory, all of the you know,

329
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:10.240
just junk science.

330
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.279
It's not science, it's.

331
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:17.559
Ideology that's being forced upon children, and the method of

332
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.759
delivery is terrible and it's had terrible results. I would

333
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:25.799
say that is absolutely by design, right, because we are

334
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.680
moving toward a financial model in which big investors can

335
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:37.119
make big bets that is a buzzword, big bets on

336
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.160
changing outcomes for people. So if you have a lot

337
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:44.079
of broken people, if you have a lot of failing students,

338
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:50.839
then that's a very low bar in terms of creating

339
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.759
an arc of improvement. And if you have financial incentives

340
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.119
attached to creating that arc of improvement, you know it

341
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.519
helps to start with a really lousy population.

342
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:09.519
Okay, So I ask you, Julianne, what kind of financial

343
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.839
incentives might might there be.

344
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:16.119
Well, this has to do to with the transition toward

345
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:24.640
impact investing and the what's it called value, value based

346
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:31.119
wealth creation. Uh, it's the new capitalism. It's stakeholder capitalism.

347
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:35.359
And what we see are well, it's tied.

348
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:36.839
To the ESG movement.

349
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.400
That's what is probably most familiar to you know, to

350
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:47.079
the general public, is the move toward enhancing outcomes in environmental,

351
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:53.240
social and governance areas. So businesses and you know, the

352
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.920
banks that finance their activities, they're starting to look at

353
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:04.720
improved outcomes in those ESG areas as an asset that

354
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:09.279
could be placed on a corporation's balance sheet. No joke,

355
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.200
it's actually a new way of printing money. But this

356
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:19.279
is so you can get a performance based credit rating

357
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:25.000
that is attached to your ability to prove that you've

358
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:30.039
created a positive impact in terms of sustainability or equity

359
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:36.839
or you know, resilience or something like this. And again

360
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.440
to caution conservatives, just because Donald J. Trump is in

361
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:45.000
office does not mean that the ESG push is over.

362
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.880
It's not at all just those letters ESG will be

363
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:54.079
switched out for more conservative sounding letters. You might say,

364
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:59.640
you know, you can make money just changing behavioral outcomes and.

365
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.039
Kind of like they've changed the DEI. They're no longer

366
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.519
the director of DEI. They're like an executive director. Yeah.

367
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.720
Yeah, Well and you know that that all of that

368
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.039
push to get rid of DEI. I mean, I do

369
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.839
think that that is a bit.

370
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.119
It's for show a bit, and you know.

371
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:26.880
Some of these really radical actions on that. Conservatives love

372
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.319
that Trump is done. Let's say, let's define what a

373
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.640
man is, what a woman is, Let's get rid of

374
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:36.960
the DEI, let's throw out all of this progressive globalist garbage.

375
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.559
Well what does that do that gets that gets conservatives

376
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:47.200
to trust him, and then we stop looking at what

377
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:51.640
else he's doing, like, for example, setting up the US

378
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.000
as the cryptocurrency capital of the world, or you know,

379
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:01.359
implementing you know, the Task Force on Science and what

380
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.680
is it, Like, there's a new Task Force on Science

381
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.519
and Technology Innovation.

382
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.440
It has to do with four IR technologies.

383
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.200
Because we trust him because he's getting rid of this

384
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:18.279
progressive you know stuff. But what we don't hear is

385
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.680
that all of those progressive terms can be switched out

386
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.960
for conservative terms quite easily, and the and the economic

387
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.759
model still holds. Now, this ties directly to the school

388
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:37.160
choice movement, and you know, I started getting into this

389
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.200
and my slides that I put together have to do

390
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:45.880
with with the Oklahoma parental Choice tax credit I called

391
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.039
the trojan Horse of school choice, which was rolled out

392
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:53.119
I think last year, I want to say, and my

393
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:58.039
children go to a parochial school, and that this school

394
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:02.160
was thrilled that we were going to start receiving state money.

395
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.640
And I said, don't be thrilled. This is a trap.

396
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:12.359
I said, oh no, we're you know, and and everyone

397
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.400
was so excited, Oh finally we're we're going to get

398
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.759
our money back. And so parents who you know, sacrifice

399
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.319
to send their kids to parochial schools, they're saying, finally

400
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.720
we get a break, and we're going to receive you know,

401
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:29.759
so much for you know, for tuition. And actually it

402
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.599
was a huge amount. I want to I want to

403
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.039
say for some income levels, it was about seven or

404
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.200
eight thousand dollars a child.

405
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:39.839
Yeah, remember that, I.

406
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:44.880
Wonder right there. I did not apply for it because

407
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.839
I didn't want to get my kids in the system

408
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.079
and plus on principle, I think it's a terrible idea.

409
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.720
But so I put together this presentation which was designed.

410
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.440
I shared it with school administration and with repers sentatives

411
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:04.079
from our diocese. I'm a Catholic, and to just go

412
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.519
over how this uh, this parental Choice tax credit, which

413
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.960
is really just a voucher program in other terms, how

414
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:18.759
it works. It was set up to provide or here's

415
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.480
how it's sold to the public. It's set up to

416
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.839
provide an alternative to the failing public schools so that

417
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.960
everyone can get the high quality education that is, you know,

418
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:35.680
associated with private schools more often than public schools, and

419
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:41.160
so that you know, parents can have control over what

420
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.400
their children are exposed to. Some other phrases that you'll

421
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:50.839
hear is that we need to fund students rather than systems.

422
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:55.079
That's tied to eesa's or educational savings accounts, which are

423
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.400
on the legislative agenda here in Oklahoma this session. It's

424
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:00.960
all tied to school choice.

425
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:02.960
And so.

426
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.039
It was set up in glowing terms, and many of

427
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:10.799
my fellow parents were thrilled to get the money. The

428
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:13.559
school was thrilled to get the money. And I'm the

429
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.720
naysayer who says, here's what it's really about. So that's

430
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:20.559
what these slides will go over. You can see in

431
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:25.200
the graphic I take a screenshot from a New Yorker

432
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:29.720
magazine and I can't remember exactly when that article came out,

433
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.400
but it says virtual reality school is the next frontier

434
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.359
of the school choice movement. Okay, that sums it up,

435
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:39.319
if you are. I started by saying, we're headed toward

436
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:45.039
the network state, right, the network state includes all human beings.

437
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:50.400
We are networked into this giant AI driven system. How

438
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:54.759
does that occur through VR? Through the neural implant, through

439
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:01.400
you know, forced web based activity of all sorts. So

440
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.960
virtual reality school is the next frontier of the school

441
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:09.319
choice movement. That's where this is headed. And so our

442
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:12.839
globalist planners want to get every child on a screen

443
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.559
to do what, to mine their data, to control who

444
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.200
they are, to deliver personalized educational experiences. And that, of

445
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:25.279
course is a very effective way of serving the global

446
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:29.319
world order. Right, you have to get children young and

447
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:34.400
teach them that this is the only option, and do

448
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:36.079
it in such a way that they don't even know

449
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.440
that they're being taught, They just experience it. And they

450
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.319
think that they've come up with it themselves. So that's

451
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.119
where it's headed. And there are a few steps that

452
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.319
I thought might appeal to my audience that I was

453
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.359
presenting this to, And I said to them, the school

454
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:01.519
choice movement is not so much about school choice as

455
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.279
it is in dismantling the public school system. And why

456
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:11.359
would you want to do that, Well, because it's failing. Okay, yeah,

457
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:15.319
it is failing on purpose. So who's making it fail?

458
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:21.279
Somebody wants it to be dismantled. Well, if you have

459
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.640
a dream of having a network state rather than a

460
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.440
nation state, you have to slowly chip away at or

461
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:34.160
privatize all of the institutions that we have come to

462
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:38.920
associate with the lawful authority.

463
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:39.480
Of the state.

464
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:41.759
So if you want to move beyond governments, you have

465
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:49.839
to destroy all of the government services institutions first. And

466
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:54.880
so you'll see a lot of language about rein states

467
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:59.480
at this state government level, a state school system. You

468
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.240
see it on the national level too, about reinventing or

469
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:07.559
reimagining themselves. And in the second slide that'sub school choice

470
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:11.920
and state regulations, it says, okay, as the state, so

471
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.400
think of this as national and you know our separate states.

472
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.039
As the state continues to reinvent itself institutionally to conform

473
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.559
to the pattern and purpose of stakeholder capitalism, which is

474
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:26.880
a theory of governance that emphasizes the creation of public

475
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:30.480
private partnerships and advisory boards to issue rules and to

476
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.480
fund and administer public services. Is priorities. That is, the

477
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:39.199
states increasingly shift to reflect the interest the interests of

478
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:47.079
multi national corporations and in geos, especially philanthropic foundations, rather

479
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:49.840
than the interests of the electorate and the people at large.

480
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:56.559
So I have some screenshots there from Reinventing Reinventing Capitalism

481
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:02.159
which is published by the World Council, World Business Council

482
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:05.559
and Sustainable Development. High level people here who are saying

483
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:10.840
that we need to create in the highlighted section, we

484
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:19.119
need to create synergies and reinforcing feed feedback loops between Sorry,

485
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:23.840
I can't between the steps taken by businesses, investors and

486
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:31.960
policy makers to realign our model of capitalism. Wow, so

487
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:39.039
they're talking about an entire shift of how we view capitalism.

488
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:43.559
But we have to understand that the new economy, the

489
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.920
new capitalism that they want to set up, it runs

490
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:53.599
through the smart city network state because the financial model

491
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.760
attached to it is one that tracks and traces impact

492
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:59.639
good behavior. So you have to have a total total

493
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.360
survey lant state in order to prove that results have

494
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:08.719
been delivered. Now that's on the highest level plane there.

495
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:11.599
If you bring it down a little bit to the

496
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:16.039
area of education policy, then you're going to see that.

497
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:19.199
And if we can go to the next slide, I'll

498
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.800
go through these quickly, school choice and state regulation. This

499
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.360
is some screenshots from a Deloitte white paper and it

500
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.039
talks about the future of state government and it says

501
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:36.079
we are entering the digital age. And let's say, okay,

502
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.960
then we can go on to the next slide.

503
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:39.960
For there we go.

504
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:45.599
So we're entering the digital phase. We need to set

505
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:52.559
up new systems of government and promote a disruption of

506
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:56.440
traditional education systems both public and private, in favor of

507
00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.960
a transformational model of education and training delivery.

508
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:01.159
UH.

509
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.320
The primary purpose of which is to develop a workforce

510
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.000
pipeline that here we go. This is the practical serves

511
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:09.960
and needs of business and industry.

512
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.639
So do you think, Julianne, that that's already in the works.

513
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.440
I mean, is there is that already something that's being

514
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:24.440
put in place, and maybe it's like being soft pedaled

515
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.239
in and we just haven't seen it, or okay, oh yeah,

516
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:28.199
all all.

517
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.920
Of the emphasis on stem on coding classes, robotics classes,

518
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:36.599
everything that we're seeing roll out in the public schools

519
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:42.880
and in private schools. Even homeschoolers are targeted with the

520
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:49.159
you know, with the with opportunities to participate in these

521
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:53.079
kinds of activities, you know, coding, robotics, all that steam.

522
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:53.719
Uh.

523
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:58.199
You know that there has been this growing push to

524
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:04.159
shift from mathematics and reading instruction, writing instruction, history instruction

525
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:13.719
toward these more practical, skills based models of education. It's

526
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:18.880
really training, and it's training for what for the future workforce. Now,

527
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:23.880
the workforce, we could say, is determined by the economic

528
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.800
structure of a place. Right if you're in an agrarian society,

529
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.519
then you're going to have more farmers, and you can

530
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.199
use any example you want. But when we're moving toward

531
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:41.000
a digitalized age in which government is no longer really

532
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:46.480
doing anything except providing some of the legitimacy for this

533
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.440
AI government system, we're going to have an entirely different

534
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.199
kind of worker that needs to be created, and so

535
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:59.079
school choice, I mean, we've been seeing that the curriculum

536
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:05.679
across the board in schools has shifted towards those skills

537
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:11.400
that will advance the new digital economy. That's already been happening.

538
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.599
But with school choice and with the dismantling of the

539
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:20.960
public schools, you're going to see that each and every

540
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:26.440
student is going to be evaluated across the scope of

541
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:33.840
his lifetime to determine what types of skills he can

542
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:39.360
he or she can perform, what sorts of emotional profiles

543
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.840
the students have, and how they can be shaped to

544
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:49.280
serve the needs of business and industry. So school choice

545
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.639
it does a couple of things. One, it knocks out

546
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.599
some of those pesky government regulations that prevent corporations from

547
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:03.440
coming in and doing that deep dive into student debt

548
00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:09.199
data and controlling the curriculum in an explicit way to

549
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:12.840
you know, if you get rid of public education and

550
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.519
you say let's let the free market take care of it,

551
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.880
what are we going to see happen. We're going to

552
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.199
see an educational system that is run by giant corporations,

553
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:28.920
and we're going to see consolidation of different say educational

554
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.760
companies that run charter schools, whether they're online or in

555
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:37.400
person education. And you know, we've, as we've seen across

556
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:43.920
the economy there is a push toward monopolization of every sector.

557
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:49.320
So why will that happen in this situation? And you know,

558
00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:54.239
because it delivers better control over the process by which

559
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.119
you make students serve the needs of business and industry.

560
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:01.760
So go ahead, Can I just ask you one quick question?

561
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:06.679
What about in homeschooling situations? We see a lot of

562
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.800
people who are taking their children out and their their

563
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.639
homeschooling them at home. Does that play into this I mean?

564
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.840
Or is that going to be like something on the outside.

565
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:21.920
They're not into a they're not in a community, they're

566
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.079
not in a school, they're not you know, in a.

567
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.679
Well, you know, I think that, you know, I would

568
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.719
have to look up the statistics, but I do think

569
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:37.519
that you've seen more people try out homeschooling since the

570
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:43.800
COVID plandemic, and you know.

571
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.719
And with all of the shenanigans that have been happening

572
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.960
in the public school system, you know, people have said, well,

573
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.119
I can't afford private school, maybe I'll just try to

574
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:59.360
do this on my own. And in Oklahoma, you know,

575
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:03.800
we have very strong protections for homeschooling. You know, I

576
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:08.400
believe it's in our state constitution the protection of homeschooling.

577
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:14.039
Other states are they they are not so parent family

578
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:19.679
student friendly, And we're already seeing that they're writing legislation

579
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:24.000
that talks about a right to education, and you know,

580
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:31.760
maybe it's combined with a voucher program that could do

581
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:36.280
one of two things. Either homeschooling families take the money

582
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:38.960
and then they are subject to all sorts of state regulation,

583
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.119
or under the right to education scenario, you have the

584
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.320
state coming in and saying we have to monitor what

585
00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:50.119
you're doing to make sure that your homeschooling efforts match

586
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:54.079
up with state standards, and then your home becomes you know,

587
00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:01.639
searchable by the government at any time. But probably you know,

588
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:07.840
the likelihood of you know, the education officials showing up

589
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.039
at your doorstep with batons, that's probably very low, even

590
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:16.320
in those states where we see a lot of tyranny

591
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:23.239
going on. Rather the requirements for permitting, for licensing that

592
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:26.199
need to prove certain documents, that's going to be so

593
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:30.559
onerous to people that they'll find it much easier to

594
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:34.800
move to an online you know, a virtual school of

595
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.960
some sort, do it at home, and then guess what

596
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.719
all of the data, all of the surveillance is. It

597
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:46.599
has now been introduced for that student, whereas traditional homeschooling

598
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:50.079
doesn't need any of that because you have a parent

599
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:53.760
and you have books and so on. So yeah, I mean,

600
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:59.280
homeschools has definitely been targeted, and here in Oklahoma.

601
00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.320
Not so much.

602
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:04.920
But the parent Choice tax credit did offer homeschooling families

603
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.559
a certain benefit. And my argument is that, and I

604
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.840
don't have slides at this point that sort of show that.

605
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:18.280
But you know, the state right now can say that

606
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:23.400
there are no strings attached to some of it, to

607
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:27.480
the tax credit, or you know, with the essays that

608
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.639
have been introduced this year, they can say you can

609
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:33.800
set up an education and savings account, and we're going

610
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.480
to write into the legislation that there are no strings

611
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:39.760
attached in terms of controlling curriculum. We could put that

612
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.679
in there, but I would say watch out, because once

613
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:47.159
they have a foot in the door, once you're taking

614
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:52.920
this government money and the public schools have been broken,

615
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:59.119
you know, then all of the the state requirements that

616
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:01.679
used to apply to the public schools, those are going

617
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:07.599
to be sort of transferred onto the private school environment. Now,

618
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:12.079
the corporations that run the you know, the big private

619
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:15.920
school chains, they're more than happy to comply with that

620
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:20.719
because they actually control those what those regulations are, because

621
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:26.760
they manipulate our legislators through their lobbying efforts and in

622
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:32.480
other ways. But homeschooling families might find, oh, well, if

623
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:36.519
I take this money, now, I might have to prove

624
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:42.880
that I have included some sort of values based education,

625
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.960
you know that's mandated by the state in my private

626
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:48.440
homeschool curriculum.

627
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:51.239
It's easy to imagine how that would work.

628
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:57.840
Absolutely, And Julian, my audience wants to know, so don't

629
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:01.360
take the money? Are we think? And don't take the money?

630
00:46:01.880 --> 00:46:05.920
Well, you know, personally, I did not take the money.

631
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:09.559
My husband and I decided, with our four kids in

632
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:13.280
private school, we were not going to apply for the

633
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:17.960
tax credit. And we knew because you could hear the rhetoric,

634
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:20.880
you could see what other states have done in similar

635
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:24.920
programs that the private schools, having this new source of

636
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.320
state money, we're going to do what up their tuition?

637
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:29.280
Right?

638
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:29.599
Why?

639
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.480
Because oh, now people can afford to pay a little

640
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:36.639
bit more because the government's going to give them money,

641
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.119
and so we can pay our teachers what they're worth.

642
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:43.800
And everyone wants to pay teachers more. I mean, especially

643
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:45.519
if you go to a private school that you like

644
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.000
and you care about your teachers, and so wouldn't it be.

645
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:50.199
Nice to pay them more?

646
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:54.480
And sounds like it sounds like it's up to the

647
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:58.920
individual themselves, you know, I mean, yeah, I mean.

648
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.639
I think you have to have people say no to this.

649
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:07.880
But practically speaking, in my in my particular example, I

650
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:13.800
think maybe a handful of families, probably less than less

651
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:18.559
than ten families elected not to apply for the tax credit.

652
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.400
Everyone else took it. And they did so because they,

653
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:26.679
you know, they needed that financial help. You know, it is,

654
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:29.840
it is expensive, and they care about their kids, so

655
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:33.519
they're going to do it, and they carrot eight thousand

656
00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:34.559
dollars a child.

657
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.559
It was so you know, hard to resist that.

658
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:40.840
Yeah, me too, I was thinking about having a kid

659
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:43.079
just to you know, get the eight thousand dollars just

660
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:43.559
I know.

661
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:48.079
Right, So you're really stuck in a bad spot because

662
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.239
so I refuse the money. But it doesn't matter because

663
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:56.000
everybody else in just in my little school, they all

664
00:47:56.079 --> 00:47:58.280
are going to take the money, and the state is

665
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.320
still going to appropriate the money. I mean, we hope

666
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:04.800
it could. It could not appropriate the money at any time.

667
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:08.480
And then tuition prices for private schools have all gone up,

668
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:11.039
and then we're all in a big pickle. But that's

669
00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:14.320
exactly how this new sort of what some people have

670
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:19.320
called disaster capitalism works. You know, you you have one

671
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.239
crisis and then you have to fix it, and people

672
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.960
make money off fixing it. And then you find a

673
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:29.119
problem with it and you end up fixed having to

674
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:30.800
fix that, and it takes us sort of back to

675
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.400
that old way of doing things. I guess probably because

676
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:37.840
this is I bet we're going a little long, and

677
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:41.519
maybe I'm gonna maybe you'll have me back and I

678
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:42.880
can tie up blue sins.

679
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:44.559
But but the main I.

680
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.760
Would love to have you back to tie up blue sens.

681
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:48.639
So please, Yes, you were gonna you were gonna put

682
00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:51.039
a pretty bow on it. I'll try to put a

683
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:54.480
pretty boat. So really, what they're doing is they're trying

684
00:48:54.519 --> 00:49:01.239
to kill public education. Why to force people, well, to

685
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:05.920
incentivize people to leave the public schools. Oh, we're going

686
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:09.000
to go to these private schools. They're going to be wonderful.

687
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:10.719
My kid's going to get a great education.

688
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:16.559
Uh that that takes away and necessary. I do think

689
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:23.199
it's necessary, a necessary part of our of our national infrastructure.

690
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:26.920
And you know, we have depended upon some sort of

691
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:33.800
education for citizenship, for individual flourishing.

692
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:36.880
You know, since the beginning. Thomas Jefferson brought up the.

693
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:42.840
Need for you know, universities and other forms of education

694
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.440
throughout a child's life so that you could be a

695
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:49.000
knowledgeable citizen, so you could evaluate the policies that are

696
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:52.159
being put before you. And quite frankly, we've had this

697
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.920
historical trajectory where people have depended on it and to

698
00:49:56.119 --> 00:50:00.880
just dismantle it very quickly, that's too easy of a solution,

699
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:05.920
especially when we have globalist resetters who want to destroy

700
00:50:06.280 --> 00:50:07.840
the nation state altogether.

701
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:13.960
Oh, I think that is the best point to end

702
00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:18.079
on there. And you never know when you take something down,

703
00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:22.679
who's waiting in the lurch to just fill in, you know,

704
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:26.079
And the great resetters, you know, they're they're not going

705
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:28.079
to stop. They're just going to look for their next

706
00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:31.480
in road and and an easy way to fill in

707
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:35.440
the gap there, Julianne, I want to have you back.

708
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.360
There's more we need to talk about we need to

709
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.119
go more through these slides. We need to talk about

710
00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:44.320
as we start getting more into the conversation. Lots of

711
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:48.280
people are interested right now and in the disbandment of

712
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.360
the Department of Education bringing it back to the local level.

713
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:55.000
I'm all about the local level, but I think we

714
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:57.920
need to go into it eyes wide open, and we

715
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:01.159
need to ask questions and we need people out there

716
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:04.719
who are willing to give us that information. And Julianne,

717
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.880
you're one of those people. So maybe in the next

718
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.079
couple of weeks we'd like to have you back so

719
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:12.519
we could go through this some more and just kind

720
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:16.000
of get more information out there to the people, and

721
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:18.760
you all out there can be able to ask your

722
00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:21.880
questions of Julie Ann. I want to say thank you

723
00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:25.440
so much for being with us today. We are going

724
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.920
to see you tomorrow. Remember resistance is not feutile and

725
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.199
blessings to you all.

726
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:10.559
It's time to stand up, speak out, get involved.

727
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:13.039
Un let's beak intentional
