00:05:42,712 --> 00:05:43,277
IT UP TO WHAT "COULD HAVE BEEN A

189
00:05:43,346 --> 00:05:46,647
HOLY SPIRIT THING."

190
00:05:46,716 --> 00:05:47,548
WHAT'S MORE, SHE ALSO CLAIMED

191
00:05:47,617 --> 00:05:48,683
THAT SHE'D TOLD A POLICE OFFICER

192
00:05:48,752 --> 00:05:50,651
ABOUT THAT PREMONITION WHEN HE

193
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,452
CAME TO HER HOME OVER A

194
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:52,753
DIFFERENT ISSUE.

195
00:05:52,822 --> 00:05:54,355
THE PROBLEM IS, THAT SAME LOCAL

196
00:05:54,424 --> 00:05:55,756
REPORTER TRACKED DOWN THAT

197
00:05:55,825 --> 00:05:56,991
OFFICER'S BODYCAM VIDEO, WHICH

198
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:59,660
TOLD A DIFFERENT STORY.

199
00:05:59,729 --> 00:06:01,062
>> DURING THAT 23-MINUTE VIDEO,

200
00:06:01,131 --> 00:06:02,497
SHE NEVER MENTIONS ANYTHING

201
00:06:02,566 --> 00:06:03,030
REMOTELY LIKE THE COVENANT

202
00:06:03,099 --> 00:06:06,167
SCHOOL SHOOTING.

203
00:06:06,236 --> 00:06:08,269
NO MENTION OF A PREMONITION, NO

204
00:06:08,338 --> 00:06:09,137
MENTION OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, NO

205
00:06:09,206 --> 00:06:11,305
MENTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

206
00:06:11,374 --> 00:06:12,673
AND HANSON'S FABRICATIONS HAVE

207
00:06:12,742 --> 00:06:14,876
GONE EVEN FURTHER IN A TALK

208
00:06:14,945 --> 00:06:16,878
RADIO INTERVIEW QUESTIONING HOW

209
00:06:16,947 --> 00:06:18,146
ACTRESS MELISSA JOAN HART

210
00:06:18,215 --> 00:06:19,514
HAPPENED TO BE NEAR COVENANT AT

211
00:06:19,583 --> 00:06:20,481
THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING TO HELP

212
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:21,349
CHILDREN WHO WERE TRYING TO

213
00:06:21,418 --> 00:06:23,217
ESCAPE.

214
00:06:23,286 --> 00:06:24,719
>> WELL, MAYBE THAT'S WHY

215
00:06:24,788 --> 00:06:25,353
MELISSA JOAN HART WAS THERE, SHE

216
00:06:25,422 --> 00:06:26,654
MUST HAVE KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO

217
00:06:26,723 --> 00:06:32,093
HAPPEN ALSO.

218
00:06:32,162 --> 00:06:34,395
>> John: WAIT, WHAT?

219
00:06:34,464 --> 00:06:34,996
"MELISSA JOAN HART PSYCHICALLY

220
00:06:35,065 --> 00:06:35,963
KNOWS WHEN A SCHOOL SHOOTING IS

221
00:06:36,032 --> 00:06:37,832
ABOUT TO HAPPEN."

222
00:06:37,901 --> 00:06:38,933
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING AN ELECTED

223
00:06:39,002 --> 00:06:40,468
OFFICIAL SHOULD SAY IN AN

224
00:06:40,537 --> 00:06:41,936
INTERVIEW, IT'S WHAT A DISNEY

225
00:06:42,005 --> 00:06:43,304

[LAUGHTER]

229
00:06:49,579 --> 00:06:50,111
AND BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,

00:06:50,180 --> 00:06:51,179

HE'S BEEN ALL OVER THIS STORY,

234
00:06:55,585 --> 00:06:57,552
AND WE'VE FEATURED HIS WORK ON

00:06:57,621 --> 00:06:58,719
THIS SHOW A BUNCH IN THE PAST.

245
00:07:22,445 --> 00:07:22,877
THIS IS A BAD, BAD MAN.

246
00:07:22,946 --> 00:07:23,678
YOU DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH PHIL

247
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:23,945
WILLIAMS.

248
00:07:24,014 --> 00:07:24,579
AND IT SEEMS GABRIELLE HANSON IS

249
00:07:24,648 --> 00:07:25,746
CURRENTLY IN HER "FINDING OUT"

00:07:25,815 --> 00:07:28,216
ERA WHEN IT COMES TO HER

251
00:07:28,285 --> 00:07:30,318
DEALINGS WITH HIM, BECAUSE

252
00:07:30,387 --> 00:07:32,753
PHIL'S UNCOVERED SO MUCH WEIRD

253
00:07:32,822 --> 00:07:34,489
NEW CONTEXT AROUND HER LIFE.

254
00:07:34,558 --> 00:07:35,089
REMEMBER HER BULLSHIT OUTRAGE

255
00:07:35,158 --> 00:07:37,725
OVER THE LOCAL PRIDE EVENT?

256
00:07:37,794 --> 00:07:39,293
WELL, PHIL DISCOVERED SOMETHING

257
00:07:39,362 --> 00:07:41,696
HER HUSBAND ONCE DID THAT

258
00:07:41,765 --> 00:07:42,263
SUGGESTS A HELL OF A DOUBLE

259
00:07:42,332 --> 00:07:43,865
STANDARD.

260
00:07:43,934 --> 00:07:45,666
>> CHILDREN SEEING IMAGES THAT

261
00:07:45,735 --> 00:07:47,602
THEY COULD NOT UNSEE WAS WHY THE

00:07:47,671 --> 00:07:49,170
FRANKLIN ALDERMAN SAID SHE TRIED

263
00:07:49,239 --> 00:07:50,738
TO BLOCK A PRIDE CELEBRATION AT

264
00:07:50,807 --> 00:07:52,039
A FRANKLIN PARK, SAYING IN A

265
00:07:52,108 --> 00:07:54,142
PODCAST INTERVIEW, IT WAS A

266
00:07:54,211 --> 00:07:55,910
QUESTION OF BASIC MORALITY.

267
00:07:55,979 --> 00:07:57,979
YET, WHERE WAS HER MORALITY

268
00:07:58,048 --> 00:07:59,313
DURING CHICAGO'S 2008 PRIDE

269
00:07:59,382 --> 00:08:01,149
PARADE BEFORE THE HANSONS MOVED

270
00:08:01,218 --> 00:08:02,250
TO TENNESSEE?

271
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:03,451
AT THE TIME, TOM HANSON WAS

272
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,253
RUNNING A REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN

273
00:08:05,322 --> 00:08:07,221
FOR CONGRESS AND ORGANIZERS

274
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:08,756
AGREED TO LET HIM IN.

I SAID, MAYBE I'LL WEAR AN

AMERICAN FLAG SPEEDO.

280
00:08:17,901 --> 00:08:18,399
AND MY WIFE SAID, IF YOU DO

281
00:08:18,468 --> 00:08:20,601
THAT, I'LL HOLD YOU TO IT."

282
00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:22,336
>> John: MAGNIFICENT.

283
00:08:22,405 --> 00:08:23,738
SO, TO RECAP, SNATCHED ELMO?

284
00:08:23,807 --> 00:08:27,008
IRREPARABLY HARMFUL TO CHILDREN.

285
00:08:27,077 --> 00:08:34,077
STAR-SPANGLED BALL-BAG HERE?

286
00:08:35,685 --> 00:08:36,350
THAT'S APPARENTLY COMPLETELY

287
00:08:36,419 --> 00:08:36,684
FINE WITH HER!

288
00:08:36,753 --> 00:08:37,251
ALSO -- AND I'M NOT HERE TO

POLICE ANYONE ELSE'S DRAG --

290
00:08:37,988 --> 00:08:38,853
BUT IS HE...

291
00:08:38,922 --> 00:08:40,721
TUCKED?

292
00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:42,390
COULD JUST HAVE BEEN COLD!

293
00:08:42,459 --> 00:08:47,161
IT WAS JUNE, THOUGH.

294
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:47,895
ANYWAY.

295
00:08:47,964 --> 00:08:48,996
AND IF ALL THAT WASN'T ENOUGH,

296
00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:50,765
JUST THIS WEEK, HANSON WAS

297
00:08:50,834 --> 00:08:51,265
CAUGHT UP IN YET ANOTHER

298
00:08:51,334 --> 00:08:53,434
SCANDAL.

299
00:08:53,503 --> 00:08:53,935
THIS TIME, INVOLVING AN

300
00:08:54,004 --> 00:08:55,103
EYE-CATCHING GROUP THAT SHOWED

301
00:08:55,172 --> 00:08:56,437
UP TO SUPPORT AND PROTECT HER AT

302
00:08:56,506 --> 00:08:58,739
A CANDIDATE FORUM.

303
00:08:58,808 --> 00:09:00,208
>> THE MAN ON THE LEFT IS SEAN

304
00:09:00,277 --> 00:09:01,776
KAUFFMANN, WHO HAS BEEN

312
00:09:12,455 --> 00:09:13,654
THEN THERE'S BRAD LEWIS.

313
00:09:13,723 --> 00:09:14,922
HE'S THE OPERATOR OF THE LEWIS

314
00:09:14,991 --> 00:09:16,624

00:09:20,797 --> 00:09:22,163
WHEN THE STORE RECENTLY WENT ON

319
00:09:22,232 --> 00:09:25,199
THE MARKET, GABRIELLE HANSON WAS

320
00:09:25,268 --> 00:09:25,800
THE REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO GOT

321
00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:26,901

REVEALED HOW THE SECOND FLOOR OF

THE STORE WAS BEING USED AS A

00:09:44,888 --> 00:09:46,387
LITERAL NAZIS.

333
00:09:46,456 --> 00:09:47,855
IS THIS THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU

334
00:09:47,924 --> 00:09:50,024
SHOULD BE ASSOCIATING WITH?

335
00:09:50,093 --> 00:09:50,691
>> EXCUSE ME.

336
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,459
>> THEY SAID THEY'RE LITERAL

337
00:09:51,528 --> 00:09:53,594
NAZIS.

338
00:09:53,663 --> 00:09:57,532
>> John: AGAIN, PHIL WILLIAMS IS

339
00:09:57,601 --> 00:09:57,932
JUST WRECKING HER.

340
00:09:58,001 --> 00:10:00,101
WAVING A CELL PHONE IN HANSON'S

341
00:10:00,170 --> 00:10:01,068

00:10:01,137 --> 00:10:02,370

343
00:10:02,439 --> 00:10:03,538
AND DOING IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR THE

00:10:05,475 --> 00:10:07,775
ALSO, WHAT ON EARTH DID THAT

357
00:10:22,826 --> 00:10:24,792
NOW, HANSON DENIES ENGAGING THAT

358
00:10:24,861 --> 00:10:25,526
GROUP AS SECURITY, DESPITE THE

359
00:10:25,595 --> 00:10:26,394
FACT SHE WALKED INTO THAT

00:10:26,463 --> 00:10:28,963

SUPREMACIST, NEO-NAZI, I WOULD

374
00:10:50,187 --> 00:10:52,587
BE A LESBIAN LIKE MY ONE CLIENT,

375
00:10:52,656 --> 00:10:56,023
AND I WOULD BE BLACK, TOO.

376
00:10:56,092 --> 00:10:59,060
SO, THAT IS WHO I WOULD BE IF

377
00:10:59,129 --> 00:11:00,294
YOU'RE GONNA BLAME ME FOR THE

378
00:11:00,363 --> 00:11:01,028
CLIENTS THAT I REPRESENT,

379
00:11:01,097 --> 00:11:02,530
BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE CLIENTS AT

380
00:11:02,599 --> 00:11:03,397
THIS VERY MOMENT THAT I'M

381
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:03,998
REPRESENTING.

382
00:11:04,067 --> 00:11:06,801
AND I WOULD PROBABLY BE A MUSLIM

383
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:08,503
JIHADIST AS WELL, BECAUSE I HAVE

384
00:11:08,572 --> 00:11:12,940
A MIDDLE EASTERN CLIENT, TOO.

385
00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:14,509
>> John: OKAY, GABS, BUT YOU DID

386
00:11:14,578 --> 00:11:16,611
JUST IMPLY ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS

387
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,613
WAS A "MUSLIM JIHADIST," SIMPLY

388
00:11:18,682 --> 00:11:19,247
BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEY ARE

389
00:11:19,316 --> 00:11:21,082
MIDDLE EASTERN, SO I'D SAY

390
00:11:21,151 --> 00:11:22,517
YOU'RE PROBABLY MORE OF A WHITE

391
00:11:22,586 --> 00:11:23,451
SUPREMACIST NEO-NAZI THAN YOU

392
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,554
ARE LESBIAN OR BLACK.

393
00:11:26,623 --> 00:11:28,022
AND LOOK, IN A WORLD THAT MADE

394
00:11:28,091 --> 00:11:29,824
SENSE, THIS WOMAN WOULD

395
00:11:29,893 --> 00:11:31,092
OBVIOUSLY HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM

396
00:11:31,161 --> 00:11:32,827
THIS MAYORAL RACE IN SHAME.

397
00:11:32,896 --> 00:11:34,595
BUT SHE STILL HAS SUPPORTERS.

398
00:11:34,664 --> 00:11:36,164
THERE ARE LAWN SIGNS UP FOR HER

399
00:11:36,233 --> 00:11:37,665
IN FRANKLIN.

400
00:11:37,734 --> 00:11:38,533
AND THERE'S A REAL CHANCE SHE

401
00:11:38,602 --> 00:11:41,436
COULD WIN THIS ELECTION.

402
00:11:41,505 --> 00:11:41,969
BECAUSE WHILE HER NUMEROUS

403
00:11:42,038 --> 00:11:43,037
SCANDALS ARE CLEARLY ALMOST

404
00:11:43,106 --> 00:11:45,907
CARTOONISH IN THEIR EXTREMITY,

405
00:11:45,976 --> 00:11:47,408
HER BEHAVIOR IS ENTIRELY

406
00:11:47,477 --> 00:11:48,476
EMBLEMATIC OF REPUBLICAN

407
00:11:48,545 --> 00:11:49,877
POLITICS FROM THE LOCAL LEVEL

408
00:11:49,946 --> 00:11:51,979
ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP.

409
00:11:52,048 --> 00:11:52,914
WHERE, IF WE LEARNED ANYTHING

410
00:11:52,983 --> 00:11:54,348
THIS WEEK, IT'S THAT FAR-RIGHT

411
00:11:54,417 --> 00:11:58,453
REPUBLICANS MAINTAIN A VICE-LIKE

412
00:11:58,522 --> 00:11:59,020
GRIP OVER THE ENTIRE PARTY.

413
00:11:59,089 --> 00:12:01,189
AND OUR BEST CHANCE AT EXPOSING

414
00:12:01,258 --> 00:12:06,294
THEM IS IF A LOT MORE REPORTERS

415
00:12:06,363 --> 00:12:06,861
TAKE A PAGE FROM NASHVILLE'S

416
00:12:06,930 --> 00:12:08,563
NOSIEST BITCH.

417
00:12:08,632 --> 00:12:10,498
AND NOW, THIS.

418
00:12:10,567 --> 00:12:17,004
>> Announcer: AND NOW,

419
00:12:17,073 --> 00:12:18,473
PEOPLE ON TV SHARING

420
00:12:18,542 --> 00:12:21,008
INCREASINGLY UNHINGED CONSPIRACY

421
00:12:21,077 --> 00:12:21,609
THEORIES ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT.

422
00:12:21,678 --> 00:12:25,246
>> OKAY, THE BIG QUESTION IS,

423
00:12:25,315 --> 00:12:27,815
ARE TAYLOR SWIFT AND

424
00:12:27,884 --> 00:12:28,683
TRAVIS KELCE DATING?

425
00:12:28,752 --> 00:12:30,351
>> IT JUST MAKES YOU THINK IS

426
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:32,653
THERE SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON?

427
00:12:32,722 --> 00:12:34,856
DID TAYLOR TEAM UP WITH THE NFL,

428
00:12:34,925 --> 00:12:36,224
SOMETHING.

429
00:12:36,293 --> 00:12:37,191
IF WE ARE INVESTIGATING.

430
00:12:37,260 --> 00:12:39,527
IN SO MANY CONSPIRACY THEORIES

431
00:12:39,596 --> 00:12:40,428
ABOUT THIS.

432
00:12:40,497 --> 00:12:42,563
>> IS ANYTHING REALLY A

433
00:12:42,632 --> 00:12:43,431
CONSPIRACY THEORY THESE DAYS?

434
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,301
A COINCIDENCE?

435
00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:49,370
>> MY DIRECTOR THINKS IT'S A

436
00:12:49,439 --> 00:12:53,174
COVER-UP TO CONCEAL TAYLOR'S

437
00:12:53,243 --> 00:12:56,878
TRUE BOYFRIEND WHO HE SHE WANTS TO

438
00:12:56,947 --> 00:12:57,512
KEEP PRIVATE.

439
00:12:57,581 --> 00:12:58,880
>> THE NFL IS STRUGGLING TO GET

440
00:12:58,949 --> 00:13:01,783
WOMEN TO WATCH FOOTBALL.

441
00:13:01,852 --> 00:13:05,019
>> WE ARE GETTING READY FOR

442
00:13:05,088 --> 00:13:06,220
TAYLOR SWIFT 1989 RE-RELEASE.

443
00:13:06,289 --> 00:13:08,589
THE THEME FOR THE ALBUM IS THE

444
00:13:08,658 --> 00:13:10,258
COLOR RED, TRAVIS KELCE PLAYS

445
00:13:10,327 --> 00:13:10,625
FOR THE CHIEFS.

446
00:13:10,694 --> 00:13:12,326
THEY ARE A BIG RED TEAM.

447
00:13:12,395 --> 00:13:13,928
HE WAS BORN IN 1989.

448
00:13:13,997 --> 00:13:16,130
>> THIS IS A PROMOTIONAL MOVE.

449
00:13:16,199 --> 00:13:20,701
>> TAYLOR SWIFT FROM

450
00:13:20,770 --> 00:13:21,202
PHILADELPHIA ORIGINALLY.

451
00:13:21,271 --> 00:13:22,870
MAYBE SHE'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO

452
00:13:22,939 --> 00:13:23,638
MESS TRAVIS KELCE UP.

453
00:13:23,707 --> 00:13:25,940
>> YOU THINK IT SABOTAGED.

454
00:13:26,009 --> 00:13:28,709
>> NO, THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO

455
00:13:28,778 --> 00:13:29,010
SUPER BOWL.

456
00:13:29,079 --> 00:13:30,244
AT THE THEORY ISSUES ARE

457
00:13:30,313 --> 00:13:32,914
EVENTUALLY GOING TO GHOST HIM AT

458
00:13:32,983 --> 00:13:35,316
THAT POINT.

459
00:13:35,385 --> 00:13:37,251
>> AND GROSS ALL THE WAY TO THE

460
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:37,552
WHITE HOUSE.

461
00:13:37,621 --> 00:13:42,190
THE PRESS SECRETARY SPOKE ABOUT

462
00:13:42,259 --> 00:13:44,358
THE POTENTIAL ROMANCE.

463
00:13:44,427 --> 00:13:46,160
>> IN THE BRACKET OF THE

464
00:13:46,229 --> 00:13:47,161
NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL I

465
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:50,565
COULD NOT CONFIRM OR THE REPORTS

466
00:13:50,634 --> 00:13:50,798
REPORTS.

467
00:13:50,867 --> 00:13:52,066
[LAUGHTER AND CHEERING]

468
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:52,600
>> John: MOVING ON.

469
00:13:52,669 --> 00:13:53,234
OUR MAIN STORY TONIGHT CONCERNS

470
00:13:53,303 --> 00:13:54,202
SCHOOL.

471
00:13:54,271 --> 00:13:54,869
FOR SOME, IT'S THE PLACE TO MAKE

472
00:13:54,938 --> 00:13:56,971
LIFELONG FRIENDS AND ENJOY FIRST

473
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,972
CRUSHES, WHILE FOR OTHERS, AND

474
00:13:58,041 --> 00:13:59,507
I'M NOT NAMING NAMES, IT'S NOT.

475
00:13:59,576 --> 00:14:03,377
SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE GOING TO

476
00:14:03,446 --> 00:14:04,779
TALK ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING.

477
00:14:04,848 --> 00:14:07,548
DURING THE PANDEMIC, MANY

478
00:14:07,617 --> 00:14:08,382
PARENTS WERE SUDDENLY FORCED TO

479
00:14:08,451 --> 00:14:09,417
DO IT, AND WHILE SOME STRUGGLED,

480
00:14:09,486 --> 00:14:10,618
OTHERS -- LIKE THIS FAMILY --

481
00:14:10,687 --> 00:14:13,321
ABSOLUTELY THRIVED.

482
00:14:13,390 --> 00:14:16,357
>> A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J,

483
00:14:16,426 --> 00:14:19,327
K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U,

484
00:14:19,396 --> 00:14:22,463
V, W, X, Y, Z.

485
00:14:22,532 --> 00:14:25,933
NOW YOU KNOW YOUR ABC'S.

486
00:14:26,002 --> 00:14:27,568
>> John: THAT'S CLEARLY

487
00:14:27,637 --> 00:14:30,872
EXCELLENT, BUT ALSO A PRETTY

488
00:14:30,941 --> 00:14:32,406
MEAN WAY TO MAKE OTHER PARENTS

489
00:14:32,475 --> 00:14:34,609
LOOK LIKE TOTAL SHIT.

490
00:14:34,678 --> 00:14:35,943
BECAUSE THAT'S SIGNIFICANTLY

491
00:14:36,012 --> 00:14:36,844
BETTER THAN ANYTHING I DID WITH

492
00:14:36,913 --> 00:14:38,546
MY KIDS DURING THE PANDEMIC.

493
00:14:38,615 --> 00:14:39,814
IT WAS MUCH LESS SINGING

494
00:14:39,883 --> 00:14:41,716
CERTIFIED ALPHABET BANGERS AND

495
00:14:41,785 --> 00:14:44,051
MUCH MORE "HIDING IN THE CLOSET,

496
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,554
PRAYING THEY WOULDN'T FIND ME."

497
00:14:46,623 --> 00:14:47,155
ALSO, QUICK SHOUT OUT TO THE

498
00:14:47,224 --> 00:14:48,022
BABY ON THE COUNTER LIVING HER

499
00:14:48,091 --> 00:14:50,825
BEST LIFE.

500
00:14:50,894 --> 00:14:52,693
SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON,

501
00:14:52,762 --> 00:14:54,061
BUT YET THERE SHE IS IN THE

502
00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:54,529
CENTER OF IT ALL LIKE

503
00:14:54,598 --> 00:14:55,363
MARIAH CAREY ON A NEW YEAR'S

504
00:14:55,432 --> 00:14:58,599
BROADCAST.

505
00:14:58,668 --> 00:14:59,433
NOW, THAT FAMILY -- LIKE MANY --

506
00:14:59,502 --> 00:15:00,635
EVENTUALLY SENT THEIR KIDS BACK

507
00:15:00,704 --> 00:15:02,370
TO SCHOOL.

508
00:15:02,439 --> 00:15:03,471
BUT FOR SOME, HOMESCHOOLING

509
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:04,972
ISN'T JUST A PANDEMIC ERA

510
00:15:05,041 --> 00:15:06,474
NECESSITY, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE.

511
00:15:06,543 --> 00:15:08,042
AND YOU MAY HAVE HEARD A

512
00:15:08,111 --> 00:15:09,677
STEREOTYPE OF HOMESCHOOLERS

513
00:15:09,746 --> 00:15:11,112
BEING CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES

514
00:15:11,181 --> 00:15:12,747
WHO OBJECT TO WHAT KIDS LEARN IN

515
00:15:12,816 --> 00:15:14,215
PUBLIC SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS.

516
00:15:14,284 --> 00:15:14,782
AND I ADMIT, THOSE PEOPLE DO

517
00:15:14,851 --> 00:15:16,484
EXIST.

518
00:15:16,553 --> 00:15:18,219
TAKE THIS MAN, WHO OFFERS THIS

519
00:15:18,288 --> 00:15:19,587
PRETTY SHAKY RATIONALIZATION FOR

520
00:15:19,656 --> 00:15:22,523
PULLING HIS KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL.

521
00:15:22,592 --> 00:15:25,226
>> I THINK THE TYPE OF CONTENT

522
00:15:25,295 --> 00:15:26,227
ON WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING ABOUT

523
00:15:26,296 --> 00:15:28,362
SEX OR ANAL SEX.

524
00:15:28,431 --> 00:15:31,098
THAT MY THIRD-GRADE DAUGHTER

525
00:15:31,167 --> 00:15:31,666
SHOULD NOT BE IN A CLASSROOM

526
00:15:31,735 --> 00:15:34,268
WHERE A TEACHER OR SOMEONE ELSE

527
00:15:34,337 --> 00:15:35,236
IS TEACHING HER ABOUT THAT.

528
00:15:35,305 --> 00:15:36,070
>> AND THAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE

529
00:15:36,139 --> 00:15:36,337
IN SCHOOL?

530
00:15:36,406 --> 00:15:37,905
>> I THROUGH -- THROUGH FRIENDS

531
00:15:37,974 --> 00:15:42,810
IN OTHER SPOTS THAT HAD BEEN

532
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:43,444
KIDS AT THOSE AGES BECAUSE MINE

533
00:15:43,513 --> 00:15:44,078
WAS ONLY IN FIRST GRADE WHEN WE

534
00:15:44,147 --> 00:15:47,548
PULLED THEM.

535
00:15:47,617 --> 00:15:48,182
>> John: WELL, THAT SOUNDS LIKE

536
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:48,549
TOTAL BULLSHIT.

537
00:15:48,618 --> 00:15:49,383
ALTHOUGH I GUESS I DO BASICALLY

538
00:15:49,452 --> 00:15:52,987
AGREE WITH HIM: THINGS THAT ARE

539
00:15:53,056 --> 00:15:53,654
DEFINITELY NOT HAPPENING, SHOULD

540
00:15:53,723 --> 00:15:55,056
CONTINUE NOT TO HAPPEN.

541
00:15:55,125 --> 00:15:56,491
BUT THE TRUTH IS, THE

542
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,525
HOMESCHOOLING COMMUNITY IS MUCH

543
00:15:57,594 --> 00:15:59,794
BROADER THAN JUST RIGHT-ING

544
00:15:59,863 --> 00:16:01,429
PARENTS AFRAID OF HYPOTHETICAL

545
00:16:01,498 --> 00:16:03,598
3RD GRADE LUBE DEMONSTRATIONS.

546
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:05,800
BY ONE ESTIMATE, THERE ARE NOW

547
00:16:05,869 --> 00:16:06,834
AROUND 2 MILLION CHILDREN BEING

548
00:16:06,903 --> 00:16:08,703
HOMESCHOOLED IN THIS COUNTRY,

549
00:16:08,772 --> 00:16:09,337
AND PARENTS CAN CHOOSE THAT FOR

550
00:16:09,406 --> 00:16:12,573
ALL SORTS OF REASONS.

551
00:16:12,642 --> 00:16:14,509
MAYBE THEIR KIDS HAVE SOCIAL OR

552
00:16:14,578 --> 00:16:15,243
HEALTH PROBLEMS, OR DISABILITIES

553
00:16:15,312 --> 00:16:17,044
THAT AREN'T BEING ACCOMMODATED.

554
00:16:17,113 --> 00:16:17,612
MAYBE THEY'RE FAMILIES WITH

555
00:16:17,681 --> 00:16:18,346
LEGITIMATE FEARS ABOUT SCHOOL

556
00:16:18,415 --> 00:16:19,447
SAFETY, OR WHO ARE IN THE

557
00:16:19,516 --> 00:16:21,582
MILITARY AND MOVE A LOT.

558
00:16:21,651 --> 00:16:22,483
AND THERE'S ALSO A GROWING

559
00:16:22,552 --> 00:16:24,285
NUMBER OF BLACK PARENTS OPTING

560
00:16:24,354 --> 00:16:25,353
TO HOME-SCHOOL DUE TO

561
00:16:25,422 --> 00:16:26,754
WHITE-WASHED CURRICULUMS AND

562
00:16:26,823 --> 00:16:28,289
ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICIES IN

563
00:16:28,358 --> 00:16:29,590
SCHOOLS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY

564
00:16:29,659 --> 00:16:30,158
CRIMINALIZE THEIR KIDS AT AN

565
00:16:30,227 --> 00:16:30,825
EARLY AGE.

566
00:16:30,894 --> 00:16:32,126
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS TO

567
00:16:32,195 --> 00:16:34,395
DO IT.

568
00:16:34,464 --> 00:16:35,029
AND THE FACT IS, FOR SOME KIDS,

569
00:16:35,098 --> 00:16:35,630
GETTING TO BE HOMESCHOOLED CAN

570
00:16:35,699 --> 00:16:37,398
BE TRANSFORMATIVE.

571
00:16:37,467 --> 00:16:40,134
>> AT 15, VICTORIA ASKED HER MOM

572
00:16:40,203 --> 00:16:40,701
BERNITA TO TAKE HER OUT OF

573
00:16:40,770 --> 00:16:42,503
DETROIT SCHOOLS.

574
00:16:42,572 --> 00:16:43,371
SHE SAYS SHE WAS BEING BULLIED

575
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,439
RELENTLESSLY FOR HER APPEARANCE

576
00:16:44,508 --> 00:16:47,308
AND IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE HER

577
00:16:47,377 --> 00:16:49,577
ADMINISTRATORS CARED.

578
00:16:49,646 --> 00:16:51,145
>> IT MADE ME NOT WANT TO ASK

579
00:16:51,214 --> 00:16:53,247
QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, OR NOT WANT

580
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:54,081
TO ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

581
00:16:54,150 --> 00:17:00,488
BECAUSE I'M LIKE, OH, AM I

582
00:17:00,557 --> 00:17:01,456
LIKE -- THEY'RE GOING TO CALL ME

583
00:17:01,525 --> 00:17:01,656
DUMB.

584
00:17:01,725 --> 00:17:02,356
>> WHEN YOU TRANSITIONED TO

585
00:17:02,425 --> 00:17:02,990
HOMESCHOOLING, HOW DID YOU START

586
00:17:03,059 --> 00:17:03,491
TO FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF?

587
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,725
>> I FELT MORE CONFIDENT.

588
00:17:04,794 --> 00:17:05,860
IT WAS JUST LIKE A KIND OF LIKE

589
00:17:05,929 --> 00:17:06,427
A SUNSHINE, LIKE THE CLOUDS

590
00:17:06,496 --> 00:17:07,195
OPENING A LITTLE BIT.

591
00:17:07,264 --> 00:17:11,732
>> John: THAT'S VERY NICE!

592
00:17:11,801 --> 00:17:12,266
AND I KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT

593
00:17:12,335 --> 00:17:13,434
SOMETHING YOU USUALLY HEAR ME

594
00:17:13,503 --> 00:17:15,002
SAY AFTER A CLIP ON THIS SHOW.

595
00:17:15,071 --> 00:17:16,838
IT'S USUALLY A VARIATION OF

596
00:17:16,907 --> 00:17:17,371
"THAT'S HORRIBLE," "THAT'S

597
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,573
HEARTBREAKING," OR "SHUT THE

598
00:17:18,642 --> 00:17:19,140
FUCK UP YOU BABY BITCH LAWN

599
00:17:19,209 --> 00:17:24,378
DART."

600
00:17:24,447 --> 00:17:24,846
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

601
00:17:24,915 --> 00:17:25,446
SO FRANKLY, THIS IS A WELCOME

602
00:17:25,515 --> 00:17:26,214
CHANGE OF PACE.

603
00:17:26,283 --> 00:17:26,848
THE POINT IS, THE CEILING OF HOW

604
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:29,083
GOOD HOMESCHOOLING CAN BE IS

605
00:17:29,152 --> 00:17:30,585
ADMITTEDLY VERY HIGH.

606
00:17:30,654 --> 00:17:33,020
BUT THE FLOOR OF HOW BAD IT CAN

607
00:17:33,089 --> 00:17:35,790
GET IS BASICALLY NONEXISTENT.

608
00:17:35,859 --> 00:17:37,158
BECAUSE TO AN EXTENT YOU MAY NOT

609
00:17:37,227 --> 00:17:37,758
REALIZE, IN MANY PARTS OF THE

610
00:17:37,827 --> 00:17:38,860
COUNTRY, HOMESCHOOLING IS

611
00:17:38,929 --> 00:17:40,628
ESSENTIALLY UNREGULATED.

612
00:17:40,697 --> 00:17:42,430
WHICH CAN RESULT IN ENORMOUS

613
00:17:42,499 --> 00:17:43,197
DAMAGE.

614
00:17:43,266 --> 00:17:43,798
SO GIVEN THAT, TONIGHT, LET'S

615
00:17:43,867 --> 00:17:46,768
TAKE A LOOK AT HOMESCHOOLING.

616
00:17:46,837 --> 00:17:47,368
AND LET'S START WITH THE FACT

617
00:17:47,437 --> 00:17:48,069
THERE'S A LOT WE DON'T KNOW

618
00:17:48,138 --> 00:17:49,203
ABOUT HOMESCHOOLED KIDS -- FROM

619
00:17:49,272 --> 00:17:50,371
EXACTLY HOW MANY THERE ARE, TO

620
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,806
WHAT THEY'RE LEARNING.

621
00:17:51,875 --> 00:17:54,142
WHEN I SAID, "THERE ARE AROUND 2

622
00:17:54,211 --> 00:17:54,709
MILLION" OF THEM, THE REASON

623
00:17:54,778 --> 00:17:55,643
THAT'S AN ESTIMATE IS THAT,

624
00:17:55,712 --> 00:17:56,844
DEPENDING ON THE STATE,

625
00:17:56,913 --> 00:17:58,513
HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES MIGHT NOT

626
00:17:58,582 --> 00:17:59,847
HAVE TO REPORT WHAT THEY'RE

627
00:17:59,916 --> 00:18:00,815
DOING AT ALL.

628
00:18:00,884 --> 00:18:02,183
IN THESE 26 STATES, PARENTS

629
00:18:02,252 --> 00:18:03,951
SIMPLY HAVE TO FILE A NOTICE

630
00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:05,052
ONCE A YEAR WITH OFFICIALS TO

631
00:18:05,121 --> 00:18:06,154
LET THEM KNOW THEY'RE

632
00:18:06,223 --> 00:18:07,655
HOMESCHOOLING THEIR CHILD.

633
00:18:07,724 --> 00:18:08,589
IN THESE THIRTEEN, THEY ONLY

634
00:18:08,658 --> 00:18:09,223
HAVE TO FILE A NOTICE ONCE, WITH

635
00:18:09,292 --> 00:18:10,558
NO REQUIREMENT TO EVER CHECK IN

636
00:18:10,627 --> 00:18:17,627
AGAIN.

637
00:18:19,035 --> 00:18:19,567
AND IN THE REMAINING 11, THEY

638
00:18:19,636 --> 00:18:20,134
DON'T HAVE TO NOTIFY ANYONE

639
00:18:20,203 --> 00:18:20,368
AT ALL.

640
00:18:20,437 --> 00:18:20,868
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE

641
00:18:20,937 --> 00:18:21,402
EDUCATION ITSELF, FILING A

642
00:18:21,471 --> 00:18:22,136
NOTICE IS TYPICALLY WHERE

643
00:18:22,205 --> 00:18:22,904
SUPERVISION STOPS, AS IN MOST

644
00:18:22,973 --> 00:18:27,575
STATES, THERE IS NO OVERSIGHT,

645
00:18:27,644 --> 00:18:28,209
AND NO EVALUATION BY ANYONE OF

646
00:18:28,278 --> 00:18:28,776
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM AND OF

647
00:18:28,845 --> 00:18:30,445
STUDENTS' PROGRESS.

648
00:18:30,514 --> 00:18:31,078
AND HOMESCHOOLING ADVOCATES WILL

649
00:18:31,147 --> 00:18:32,647
TELL YOU THAT'S NOT A CONCERN,

650
00:18:32,716 --> 00:18:33,214
AND THAT PARENTS WILL SIMPLY

651
00:18:33,283 --> 00:18:34,849
COME UP WITH ALL SORTS OF

652
00:18:34,918 --> 00:18:36,050
INNOVATIVE WAYS TO TEACH THEIR

653
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,585
KIDS.

654
00:18:37,654 --> 00:18:38,319
HERE'S ONE PARENT

655
00:18:38,388 --> 00:18:39,921
ENTHUSIASTICALLY EXPLAINING HOW

656
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:41,923
HE TAUGHT HIS KIDS SCIENCE.

657
00:18:41,992 --> 00:18:42,757
>> I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY

658
00:18:42,826 --> 00:18:44,926
TIMES, YOU KNOW, IN MY HOME, AT

659
00:18:44,995 --> 00:18:46,727
OUR KITCHEN TABLE WE'VE

660
00:18:46,796 --> 00:18:47,562
DISSECTED, YOU KNOW, SHEEP

661
00:18:47,631 --> 00:18:51,966
EYEBALLS OR FROGS.

662
00:18:52,035 --> 00:18:53,601
KITCHEN -- KITCHEN'S ARE GREAT

663
00:18:53,670 --> 00:18:54,168
LABS FOR THIS KIND OF THING.

664
00:18:54,237 --> 00:18:54,535
>> WHERE DOES --

665
00:18:54,604 --> 00:18:55,303
>> SO, THEY'LL GET TOGETHER --

666
00:18:55,372 --> 00:18:56,604
>> WHERE DOES SOMEBODY GET A

667
00:18:56,673 --> 00:18:56,938
SHEEP EYEBALL?

668
00:18:57,007 --> 00:18:59,173
>> [LAUGHS]

669
00:18:59,242 --> 00:19:00,141
WELL, JOHN, YOU CAN JUST

670
00:19:00,210 --> 00:19:00,641
GOOGLE SHEEP EYEBALL FOR

671
00:19:00,710 --> 00:19:01,342
HOMESCHOOLERS.

672
00:19:01,411 --> 00:19:01,809
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

673
00:19:01,878 --> 00:19:02,643
>> 'CAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE --

674
00:19:02,712 --> 00:19:04,479
ABSOLUTELY.

675
00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:06,714
>> John: OKAY, FIRST, ARE

676
00:19:06,783 --> 00:19:07,448
KITCHENS THE BEST LAB FOR THIS

677
00:19:07,517 --> 00:19:09,817
KIND OF THING?

678
00:19:09,886 --> 00:19:11,085
I THINK PROBABLY LABS ARE THE

679
00:19:11,154 --> 00:19:13,020
BEST LAB FOR THIS KIND OF THING.

680
00:19:13,089 --> 00:19:13,788
I'M JUST SAYING -- MAYBE DON'T

681
00:19:13,857 --> 00:19:15,323
GO DISSECTING SHEEP EYEBALLS IN

682
00:19:15,392 --> 00:19:16,591
THE SAME PLACE WHERE YOU CUT

683
00:19:16,660 --> 00:19:18,126
OLIVES FOR SALAD.

684
00:19:18,195 --> 00:19:18,659
ALSO, DO NOT GOOGLE SHEEP

685
00:19:18,728 --> 00:19:20,661
EYEBALLS.

686
00:19:20,730 --> 00:19:26,000
I DID, AND I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO

687
00:19:26,069 --> 00:19:27,101
SHOW YOU THE RESULT UNBLURRED,

688
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:29,470
BECAUSE IT'S TOO NAUSEATING.

689
00:19:29,539 --> 00:19:30,571
SUFFICE TO SAY, IT LOOKS LIKE

690
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,106
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AN OYSTER

691
00:19:32,175 --> 00:19:33,841
HAD A BUTTHOLE.

692
00:19:33,910 --> 00:19:34,876
BUT WHILE THAT MAN WAS CLEARLY

693
00:19:34,945 --> 00:19:36,744
WILLING TO GO TO IMPRESSIVE

694
00:19:36,813 --> 00:19:38,179
LENGTHS FOR AT-HOME SCIENCE

695
00:19:38,248 --> 00:19:39,380
LESSONS, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE

696
00:19:39,449 --> 00:19:42,984
TIME OR THE RESOURCES TO DEVELOP

697
00:19:43,053 --> 00:19:43,918
A CURRICULUM FROM SCRATCH.

698
00:19:43,987 --> 00:19:45,453
THAT'S WHY THERE ARE BIG

699
00:19:45,522 --> 00:19:46,888
PUBLISHERS WHO OFFER MATERIALS

700
00:19:46,957 --> 00:19:47,688
SPECIFICALLY TAILORED TO

701
00:19:47,757 --> 00:19:49,390
HOMESCHOOLERS.

702
00:19:49,459 --> 00:19:51,092
MUCH OF THAT MARKET IS DOMINATED

703
00:19:51,161 --> 00:19:52,693
BY THESE THREE CHRISTIAN

704
00:19:52,762 --> 00:19:55,163
TEXTBOOK PUBLISHERS WHO PROMISE

705
00:19:55,232 --> 00:19:55,730
LEARNING THROUGH A BIBLICAL

706
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:57,932
FILTER.

707
00:19:58,001 --> 00:19:58,866
AND LOOK, IT IS ABSOLUTELY A

708
00:19:58,935 --> 00:20:00,434
PARENT'S RIGHT TO EDUCATE THEIR

709
00:20:00,503 --> 00:20:01,068
CHILD WITH RELIGION IF THEY SO

710
00:20:01,137 --> 00:20:02,770
CHOOSE.

711
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:04,238
BUT THE QUALITY OF SOME OF THESE

712
00:20:04,307 --> 00:20:06,441
BOOKS CAN BE TROUBLING.

713
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:09,844
FOR INSTANCE, ONE CURRENT ABEKA

714
00:20:09,913 --> 00:20:10,411
HISTORY BOOK SAYS THAT "THE

715
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,012
BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

716
00:20:11,081 --> 00:20:12,647
WITNESSED A CULTURAL BREAKDOWN

717
00:20:12,716 --> 00:20:13,247
THAT THREATENED TO DESTROY THE

718
00:20:13,316 --> 00:20:13,714
VERY ROOTS OF WESTERN

719
00:20:13,783 --> 00:20:14,549
CIVILIZATION.

720
00:20:14,618 --> 00:20:17,084
THE CAUSE OF THIS DISSOLUTION

721
00:20:17,153 --> 00:20:17,819
WAS AN IDEA OR PHILOSOPHY KNOWN

722
00:20:17,888 --> 00:20:19,987
AS LIBERALISM."

723
00:20:20,056 --> 00:20:21,756
MEANWHILE, A WORKBOOK FROM ACE

724
00:20:21,825 --> 00:20:23,391
CELEBRATES THE CONFEDERATE

725
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:24,125
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE AS "A

726
00:20:24,194 --> 00:20:26,260
DEVOTED CHRISTIAN WHO PRACTICED

727
00:20:26,329 --> 00:20:27,328
HIS CHRISTIANITY IN ALL HIS

728
00:20:27,397 --> 00:20:29,597
DEALINGS WITH OTHERS."

729
00:20:29,666 --> 00:20:30,665
AND A SCIENCE BOOK FROM

730
00:20:30,734 --> 00:20:32,033
BOB JONES UNIVERSITY CLAIMS

731
00:20:32,102 --> 00:20:34,235
THAT, "BIBLICAL AND SCIENTIFIC

732
00:20:34,304 --> 00:20:34,969
EVIDENCE TENDS TO SUPPORT THE

733
00:20:35,038 --> 00:20:35,736
IDEA THAT MEN AND DINOSAURS

734
00:20:35,805 --> 00:20:38,706
EXISTED AT THE SAME TIME."

735
00:20:38,775 --> 00:20:39,740
AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHAT

736
00:20:39,809 --> 00:20:41,876
THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, ACE HAD A

737
00:20:41,945 --> 00:20:42,910
WORKBOOK FEATURING THIS

738
00:20:42,979 --> 00:20:45,480
RENDERING -- IMPLYING THAT NOT

739
00:20:45,549 --> 00:20:47,682
ONLY DID MEN AND DINOSAURS EXIST

740
00:20:47,751 --> 00:20:48,449
AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THEY WERE

741
00:20:48,518 --> 00:20:49,016
BOTH TOTALLY COOL WITH EACH

742
00:20:49,085 --> 00:20:51,018
OTHER.

743
00:20:51,087 --> 00:20:51,986
"HEY HANK, GREAT TUCKED IN

744
00:20:52,055 --> 00:20:53,754
SHIRT!

745
00:20:53,823 --> 00:20:54,355
DO YOU SEE THAT DINOSAUR OVER

746
00:20:54,424 --> 00:20:55,223
THERE?"

747
00:20:55,292 --> 00:20:56,557
"SURE DO BOB, LOVE THOSE JEANS,

748
00:20:56,626 --> 00:20:56,858
BY THE WAY.

749
00:20:56,927 --> 00:20:57,992
SHOULD WE RUN?"

750
00:20:58,061 --> 00:20:59,994
"NO WAY, THE DINOS ARE CHILL,

751
00:21:00,063 --> 00:21:01,028
LET'S JUST KEEP WACKING THESE

752
00:21:01,097 --> 00:21:01,662
LEAVES WITH THAT ONE SWORD KNIFE

753
00:21:01,731 --> 00:21:06,234
YOU BROUGHT."

754
00:21:06,303 --> 00:21:06,868
BUT WHILE ALL OF THAT IS PRETTY

755
00:21:06,937 --> 00:21:07,502
TROUBLING, THE TRUTH IS, IN MANY

756
00:21:07,571 --> 00:21:13,508
STATES PARENTS DON'T ULTIMATELY

757
00:21:13,577 --> 00:21:14,308
HAVE TO TEACH THEIR KIDS

758
00:21:14,377 --> 00:21:15,910
ANYTHING AT ALL.

759
00:21:15,979 --> 00:21:17,478
JUST WATCH AS THIS FORMER

760
00:21:17,547 --> 00:21:18,079
HOMESCHOOL STUDENT BREAKS DOWN

761
00:21:18,148 --> 00:21:19,814
HER DAILY SCHEDULE.

762
00:21:19,883 --> 00:21:20,948
>> THIS IS MY ACTUAL LIST OF

763
00:21:21,017 --> 00:21:23,484
ASSIGNMENTS.

764
00:21:23,553 --> 00:21:24,819
WE'VE GOT THE DATE AT THE TOP.

765
00:21:24,888 --> 00:21:26,387
I WOULD HAVE BEEN 12.

766
00:21:26,456 --> 00:21:27,522
FIRST, WE'VE GOT CLASSICAL MUSIC

767
00:21:27,591 --> 00:21:29,590
WHICH WAS JUST TURNING ON

768
00:21:29,659 --> 00:21:30,691
CLASSICAL MUSIC IN THE MORNING

769
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,026
SO THAT EVERYONE COULD HEAR IT.

770
00:21:32,095 --> 00:21:34,228
WE'VE GOT BIBLE LISTENING.

771
00:21:34,297 --> 00:21:35,363
WE'VE GOT HANDWRITING AND MATH.

772
00:21:35,432 --> 00:21:36,964
THAT'S FAIRLY NORMAL.

773
00:21:37,033 --> 00:21:38,499
WE'VE GOT MEMORIZING THE BIBLE.

774
00:21:38,568 --> 00:21:39,066
MMM.

775
00:21:39,135 --> 00:21:40,802
WE'VE GOT MEMORIZING POETRY.

776
00:21:40,871 --> 00:21:43,905
THE POETRY WAS MOSTLY HYMNS.

777
00:21:43,974 --> 00:21:44,338
WE'VE GOT EXERCISE.

778
00:21:44,407 --> 00:21:45,573
THAT'S GOOD.

779
00:21:45,642 --> 00:21:46,407
IT WAS USUALLY JUST WALKING

780
00:21:46,476 --> 00:21:48,342
AROUND THE BLOCK.

781
00:21:48,411 --> 00:21:52,680
AND THEN THE WHOLE ENTIRE REST

782
00:21:52,749 --> 00:21:54,282
OF THE LIST IS CHORES AND

783
00:21:54,351 --> 00:22:00,054
CLEANING TASKS.

784
00:22:00,123 --> 00:22:00,488
>> John: IT'S TRUE!

785
00:22:00,557 --> 00:22:00,988
MOST OF HER LESSONS JUST

786
00:22:01,057 --> 00:22:01,355
INVOLVED CHORES.

787
00:22:01,424 --> 00:22:02,857
AND LOOK AT THAT LIST!

788
00:22:02,926 --> 00:22:03,391
THAT IS A LOT OF CLEANING

789
00:22:03,460 --> 00:22:04,559
DEMANDS!

790
00:22:04,628 --> 00:22:05,293
WHO WAS HER PARENT?

791
00:22:05,362 --> 00:22:07,562
THIS GUY?

792
00:22:07,631 --> 00:22:09,130
I MEAN, DON'T GET ME WRONG, HE'S

793
00:22:09,199 --> 00:22:10,731
AN ABSOLUTE ZADDY.

794
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,233
WOULD, WILL, AND I'LL TAKE

795
00:22:12,302 --> 00:22:13,434
SECONDS.

796
00:22:13,503 --> 00:22:15,236
BUT AS HOT AS HE MAKES "DOING

797
00:22:15,305 --> 00:22:16,437
CHORES" SEEM, IT'S NOT AN

798
00:22:16,506 --> 00:22:17,171
ADEQUATE ALTERNATIVE TO

799
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,706
EDUCATION.

800
00:22:18,775 --> 00:22:22,243
ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY, EVEN THAT

801
00:22:22,312 --> 00:22:24,479
IS A PREFERABLE ALTERNATIVE TO

802
00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:25,213
THE SINGLE WORST HOMESCHOOL

803
00:22:25,282 --> 00:22:26,481
CURRICULUM WE FOUND, WHOSE

804
00:22:26,550 --> 00:22:28,449
CREATORS EXCITEDLY PROMOTED IT

805
00:22:28,518 --> 00:22:29,817
ON A PODCAST.

806
00:22:29,886 --> 00:22:33,721
>> WE ARE SO DEEPLY INVESTED

807
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:36,924
INTO MAKING SURE THAT THAT CHILD

808
00:22:36,993 --> 00:22:39,660
BECOMES A WONDERFUL NAZI, AND BY

809
00:22:39,729 --> 00:22:40,761
HOME-SCHOOLING WE'RE GOING TO

810
00:22:40,830 --> 00:22:42,029
GET THAT DONE.

811
00:22:42,098 --> 00:22:42,663
>> John: WELL, THAT'S

812
00:22:42,732 --> 00:22:45,199
TERRIFYING!

813
00:22:45,268 --> 00:22:46,567
YOU NEVER WANT TO HEAR A MOTHER

814
00:22:46,636 --> 00:22:49,203
LOVINGLY UTTER THE SENTENCE "MY

815
00:22:49,272 --> 00:22:50,204
KID'S A WONDERFUL NAZI," OUTSIDE

816
00:22:50,273 --> 00:22:52,273
OF MAYBE IF THEY'RE PRAISING

817
00:22:52,342 --> 00:22:54,742
THEIR SON'S PERFORMANCE AS ROLF

818
00:22:54,811 --> 00:22:55,710
IN "THE SOUND OF MUSIC."

819
00:22:55,779 --> 00:22:56,210
AND EVEN THEN, JUST SAY

820
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:57,645
"WONDERFUL ROLF."

821
00:22:57,714 --> 00:23:02,383
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

822
00:23:02,452 --> 00:23:03,417
THAT WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND

823
00:23:03,486 --> 00:23:04,652
ACTUALLY LAUNCHED THEIR OWN

824
00:23:04,721 --> 00:23:05,820
ONLINE COMMUNITY, DISSIDENT

825
00:23:05,889 --> 00:23:07,588
HOMESCHOOL, IN 2021, AFTER SHE

826
00:23:07,657 --> 00:23:09,323
HAD A QUOTE "ROUGH TIME FINDING

827
00:23:09,392 --> 00:23:10,958
NAZI-APPROVED SCHOOL MATERIAL

828
00:23:11,027 --> 00:23:12,593
FOR HER HOMESCHOOL CHILDREN."

829
00:23:12,662 --> 00:23:13,194
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

830
00:23:13,263 --> 00:23:15,463
GOOD!

831
00:23:15,532 --> 00:23:16,764
THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE AN

832
00:23:16,833 --> 00:23:19,267
EASY GOOGLE.

833
00:23:19,336 --> 00:23:21,202
IN FACT, IF YOU SEARCH FOR THAT,

834
00:23:21,271 --> 00:23:22,737
IT SHOULD PROBABLY AUTOCORRECT

835
00:23:22,806 --> 00:23:24,305
TO "DID YOU MEAN, HOW DO I TAKE

836
00:23:24,374 --> 00:23:26,541
MYSELF TO JAIL?"

837
00:23:26,610 --> 00:23:28,242
AT ONE POINT, DISSIDENT

838
00:23:28,311 --> 00:23:30,344
HOMESCHOOL HAD NEARLY 2500

839
00:23:30,413 --> 00:23:31,312
SUBSCRIBERS AND INCLUDED IDEAS

840
00:23:31,381 --> 00:23:32,980
LIKE HANDWRITING EXERCISES

841
00:23:33,049 --> 00:23:34,682
CONSISTING OF WRITING OUT QUOTES

842
00:23:34,751 --> 00:23:35,917
FROM ADOLF HITLER.

843
00:23:35,986 --> 00:23:36,517
WHICH I THINK WE CAN AGREE IS

844
00:23:36,586 --> 00:23:38,886
APPALLING.

845
00:23:38,955 --> 00:23:43,925
HANDWRITING EXERCISES?

846
00:23:43,994 --> 00:23:44,559
THAT IS JUST CRUEL.

847
00:23:44,628 --> 00:23:45,193
THEY SHOULD BE WORKING ON THEIR

848
00:23:45,262 --> 00:23:45,793
KEYBOARD SKILLS, THROUGH GAMES

849
00:23:45,862 --> 00:23:46,828
LIKE "MAVIS BEACON TEACHES THE

850
00:23:46,897 --> 00:23:53,897
FINAL SOLUTION."

851
00:23:54,671 --> 00:23:55,169
NOT THAT, DON'T ACTUALLY DO

852
00:23:55,238 --> 00:23:56,671
THAT.

853
00:23:56,740 --> 00:23:57,271
THAT IS AWFUL.

854
00:23:57,340 --> 00:23:57,839
THE CHANNEL ALSO POSTED TIPS

855
00:23:57,908 --> 00:23:58,473
ENSURING THAT THEIR PARENTS WERE

856
00:23:58,542 --> 00:23:59,040
IN "FULL COMPLIANCE WITH THE

857
00:23:59,109 --> 00:23:59,540
LAW" SO THAT "THE STATE"

858
00:23:59,609 --> 00:24:00,541
WOULDN'T INTERFERE.

859
00:24:00,610 --> 00:24:01,776
BUT AS YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN, IN

860
00:24:01,845 --> 00:24:02,944
MOST STATES, THEY DON'T HAVE

861
00:24:03,013 --> 00:24:04,545
MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT THERE,

862
00:24:04,614 --> 00:24:06,247
BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO

863
00:24:06,316 --> 00:24:06,881
HOMESCHOOLING, BASICALLY,

864
00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:09,917
ANYTHING GOES.

865
00:24:09,986 --> 00:24:10,852
SO, HOW THE FUCK IS THAT THE

866
00:24:10,921 --> 00:24:11,819
CASE?

867
00:24:11,888 --> 00:24:12,620
WELL, IN LARGE PART, IT'S THANKS

868
00:24:12,689 --> 00:24:14,555
TO A VERY POWERFUL HOMESCHOOLING

869
00:24:14,624 --> 00:24:15,556
LOBBY, WHOSE MOST PROMINENT

870
00:24:15,625 --> 00:24:20,862
PLAYER IS THE HOME SCHOOL LEGAL

871
00:24:20,931 --> 00:24:21,462
DEFENSE ASSOCIATION, OR HSLDA.

872
00:24:21,531 --> 00:24:22,930
AND HERE IS WHERE I'LL CONCEDE

873
00:24:22,999 --> 00:24:25,466
SOME GROUND, IT GREW OUT OF AN

874
00:24:25,535 --> 00:24:26,868
ENVIRONMENT THAT "WAS," IN MANY

875
00:24:26,937 --> 00:24:28,169
PLACES, OVERLY RESTRICTIVE OF

876
00:24:28,238 --> 00:24:29,771
HOMESCHOOLING, WITH SOME STATES

877
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,772
AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS

878
00:24:30,841 --> 00:24:33,941
EFFECTIVELY BANNING IT ENTIRELY.

879
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:34,809
IN TEXAS IN THE EARLY 1980'S,

880
00:24:34,878 --> 00:24:36,644
HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES WERE

881
00:24:36,713 --> 00:24:37,845
ACTUALLY PROSECUTED.

882
00:24:37,914 --> 00:24:39,247
BUT A TURNING POINT CAME AFTER

883
00:24:39,316 --> 00:24:40,648
SEVERAL TEXAS FAMILIES FILED A

884
00:24:40,717 --> 00:24:42,183
CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THEIR

885
00:24:42,252 --> 00:24:42,850
SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND ULTIMATELY

886
00:24:42,919 --> 00:24:44,118
WON.

887
00:24:44,187 --> 00:24:46,420
AROUND THE SAME TIME, THE HSLDA

888
00:24:46,489 --> 00:24:48,122
WAS FORMED, WITH THE AIM OF

889
00:24:48,191 --> 00:24:49,423
EXPANDING THE RIGHTS OF

890
00:24:49,492 --> 00:24:54,495
HOMESCHOOLERS IN EVERY STATE.

891
00:24:54,564 --> 00:24:55,763
AND FROM THE VERY BEGINNING,

892
00:24:55,832 --> 00:24:56,864
IT'S HAD A STRONG EVANGELICAL,

893
00:24:56,933 --> 00:24:57,632
CONSERVATIVE OUTLOOK.

894
00:24:57,701 --> 00:24:58,866
ITS FOUNDING PRESIDENT AND

895
00:24:58,935 --> 00:25:00,234
CHAIRMAN, MICHAEL FARRIS, HAS

896
00:25:00,303 --> 00:25:00,868
REFERRED TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS A

897
00:25:00,937 --> 00:25:03,571
"GODLESS MONSTROSITY."

898
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,939
AND HERE HE IS BACK IN 2004,

899
00:25:05,008 --> 00:25:05,940
SPEAKING TO THE CHRISTIAN

900
00:25:06,009 --> 00:25:07,542
COALITION, AND DESCRIBING HIS

901
00:25:07,611 --> 00:25:08,109
LONG-TERM HOPES FOR THE NEXT

902
00:25:08,178 --> 00:25:09,944
GENERATION.

903
00:25:10,013 --> 00:25:11,145
>> TODAY, IT IS NOT PREPOSTEROUS

904
00:25:11,214 --> 00:25:12,647
TO RECOGNIZE WHAT'S GOING ON --

905
00:25:12,716 --> 00:25:14,148
THE PROMOTION OF HOMOSEXUALITY,

906
00:25:14,217 --> 00:25:16,317
THE PROMOTION OF OTHER KINDS OF

907
00:25:16,386 --> 00:25:17,819
THINGS THAT YOU HEARD FROM

908
00:25:17,888 --> 00:25:19,320
WALTER JONES, YOU'VE HEARD MANY

909
00:25:19,389 --> 00:25:20,888
OTHER TIMES, IS A DEPLORABLE

910
00:25:20,957 --> 00:25:21,355
REALITY THAT WE CANNOT

911
00:25:21,424 --> 00:25:24,826
COUNTENANCE.

912
00:25:24,895 --> 00:25:26,060
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN

913
00:25:26,129 --> 00:25:30,231
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE VANQUISH THE

914
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:30,832
ENEMY BY A 5-4 VOTE REVERSING

915
00:25:30,901 --> 00:25:37,901
ROE V. WADE.

916
00:25:41,845 --> 00:25:42,777
WHERE WE VANQUISH THE SPECTER OF

917
00:25:42,846 --> 00:25:44,545
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

918
00:25:44,614 --> 00:25:51,614
THAT'S THE STANDARD OF VICTORY.

919
00:25:51,788 --> 00:25:52,954
>> John: OKAY, THERE'S A LOT

920
00:25:53,023 --> 00:25:54,622
THAT'S HARD TO TAKE IN THAT CLIP

921
00:25:54,691 --> 00:25:55,223
-- THAT THAT'S HIS WISH LIST,

922
00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:56,324
THAT HE'S ALREADY GOTTEN HALF OF

923
00:25:56,393 --> 00:25:57,492
IT, AND THAT HE'S SAYING

924
00:25:57,561 --> 00:25:59,360
"VANQUISH THE ENEMY," DESPITE

925
00:25:59,429 --> 00:26:00,294
LOOKING LESS LIKE A WARRIOR AND

926
00:26:00,363 --> 00:26:01,028
MORE LIKE YOUR TAX ACCOUNTANT'S

927
00:26:01,097 --> 00:26:01,963
TAX ACCOUNTANT'S ASSISTANT.

928
00:26:02,032 --> 00:26:02,563
OVER THE YEARS, THE HSLDA HAS

929
00:26:02,632 --> 00:26:03,131
LOBBIED EXTENSIVELY, FROM A

930
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,499
HARD-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE, ON

931
00:26:04,568 --> 00:26:06,501
ISSUES THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO

932
00:26:06,570 --> 00:26:08,002
WITH HOMESCHOOLING, OPPOSING

933
00:26:08,071 --> 00:26:09,470
EVERYTHING FROM VACCINE MANDATES

934
00:26:09,539 --> 00:26:15,576
TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

935
00:26:15,645 --> 00:26:16,344
BUT IT SPEAKS TO HOW SIGNIFICANT

936
00:26:16,413 --> 00:26:16,944
A FORCE IT IS THAT EVEN SOME

937
00:26:17,013 --> 00:26:17,578
PARENTS WHO ARE UNEASY WITH ITS

938
00:26:17,647 --> 00:26:18,312
POLITICAL LEANINGS, FEEL THEY

939
00:26:18,381 --> 00:26:18,813
HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE

940
00:26:18,882 --> 00:26:20,114
MEMBERS.

941
00:26:20,183 --> 00:26:21,249
HERE'S ONE MOM, WHO STARTED A

942
00:26:21,318 --> 00:26:22,483
HOMESCHOOLING GROUP TO OFFER AN

943
00:26:22,552 --> 00:26:24,519
ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT SHE SAW AS A

944
00:26:24,588 --> 00:26:26,087
WHITEWASHED CURRICULUM, TALKING

945
00:26:26,156 --> 00:26:26,687
ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP TO THE

946
00:26:26,756 --> 00:26:28,055
HSLDA.

947
00:26:28,124 --> 00:26:30,258
>> WHENEVER THERE'S A THREAT IN

948
00:26:30,327 --> 00:26:31,459
ANY PARTICULAR STATE TO THEIR

949
00:26:31,528 --> 00:26:33,027
RIGHT TO HOMESCHOOL, OH, YOU

950
00:26:33,096 --> 00:26:34,896
WILL SEE US COME TOGETHER.

951
00:26:34,965 --> 00:26:36,664
YOU KNOW, IT MAY NOT -- WE'RE

952
00:26:36,733 --> 00:26:37,298
NOT GOING TO STAY TOGETHER, BUT

953
00:26:37,367 --> 00:26:38,466
WE WILL BAND UP BECAUSE WE ALL

954
00:26:38,535 --> 00:26:41,235
DESPERATELY NEED OUR RIGHT TO

955
00:26:41,304 --> 00:26:43,871
HOMESCHOOL.

956
00:26:43,940 --> 00:26:45,306
AND THAT'S THE NUANCED ASPECT OF

957
00:26:45,375 --> 00:26:46,674
BEING IN HOMESCHOOL WORLD.

958
00:26:46,743 --> 00:26:48,376
THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK

959
00:26:48,445 --> 00:26:51,179
WITH IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN WHAT

960
00:26:51,248 --> 00:26:55,483
YOU HOLD DEAR ARE ALSO THE

961
00:26:55,552 --> 00:26:56,751
PEOPLE WHO CRUSH YOU.

962
00:26:56,820 --> 00:26:58,453
>> John: IT'S TRUE.

963
00:26:58,522 --> 00:26:59,654
THE HSLDA HAVE MADE THEMSELVES

964
00:26:59,723 --> 00:27:01,122
SO POWERFUL, MANY PARENTS KEEP

965
00:27:01,191 --> 00:27:02,490
WORKING WITH THEM EVEN IF THEY

966
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:03,558
DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THEY

967
00:27:03,627 --> 00:27:04,959
STAND FOR.

968
00:27:05,028 --> 00:27:06,394
IT'S A DILEMMA OTHERWISE KNOWN

969
00:27:06,463 --> 00:27:10,164
AS "THE TOM CRUISE CONUNDRUM."

970
00:27:10,233 --> 00:27:10,698
ON THE ONE HAND, A BILLION

971
00:27:10,767 --> 00:27:11,566
DOLLARS IN THE BOX OFFICE.

972
00:27:11,635 --> 00:27:12,900
ON THE OTHER, A BILLION YEAR

973
00:27:12,969 --> 00:27:14,268
CONTRACT TO AN ALIEN MAFIA.

974
00:27:14,337 --> 00:27:18,072
IT'S TRICKY, RIGHT?

975
00:27:18,141 --> 00:27:18,706
IT'S TRICKY.

976
00:27:18,775 --> 00:27:19,340
WHAT'S A BUNCH OF YOUNG HOTS TO

977
00:27:19,409 --> 00:27:20,208
DO?

978
00:27:20,277 --> 00:27:20,808
PLUS, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, THE

979
00:27:20,877 --> 00:27:22,110
HSLDA -- MUCH LIKE TOM CRUISE --

980
00:27:22,179 --> 00:27:24,712
WILL PROBABLY NEVER DIE.

981
00:27:24,781 --> 00:27:25,980
AS A LOBBYING GROUP, IT'S BEEN

982
00:27:26,049 --> 00:27:27,515
ASTONISHINGLY SUCCESSFUL.

983
00:27:27,584 --> 00:27:28,616
IN FOUR DECADES, ITS EFFORTS

984
00:27:28,685 --> 00:27:29,951
HAVE BEEN CREDITED WITH ROLLING

985
00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:31,319
BACK EXISTING LAWS GOVERNING

986
00:27:31,388 --> 00:27:32,987
HOMESCHOOLING IN STATE AFTER

987
00:27:33,056 --> 00:27:34,155
STATE.

988
00:27:34,224 --> 00:27:35,656
AND THE ARGUMENT IT WILL ALWAYS

989
00:27:35,725 --> 00:27:37,558
MAKE AGAINST ANY REGULATION IS,

990
00:27:37,627 --> 00:27:38,693
"YOU'RE JUST PUNISHING ALL THE

991
00:27:38,762 --> 00:27:41,362
PARENTS DOING THINGS RIGHT, TO

992
00:27:41,431 --> 00:27:41,996
ADDRESS A HANDFUL WHO ARE DOING

993
00:27:42,065 --> 00:27:44,699
IT WRONG."

994
00:27:44,768 --> 00:27:45,133
AND IN THEORY, SURE.

995
00:27:45,202 --> 00:27:45,766
BUT WHEN YOU'VE GOT SOME PARENTS

996
00:27:45,835 --> 00:27:47,335
RUNNING THE HOMESCHOOL INSTITUTE

997
00:27:47,404 --> 00:27:48,903
OF DISHWASHING, AND OTHERS

998
00:27:48,972 --> 00:27:50,638
RUNNING LIL NAZIS 'R' US, IT

999
00:27:50,707 --> 00:27:52,106
SEEMS MAYBE THE REINS HAVE

1000
00:27:52,175 --> 00:27:54,642
GOTTEN A LITTLE LOOSE.

1001
00:27:54,711 --> 00:27:55,576
AND THE LACK OF REGULATION HERE

1002
00:27:55,645 --> 00:27:57,145
HAS SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES, AND

1003
00:27:57,214 --> 00:27:58,846
NOT JUST REGARDING QUALITY OF

1004
00:27:58,915 --> 00:28:00,414
EDUCATION.

1005
00:28:00,483 --> 00:28:02,717
AND FAIR WARNING, THIS IS WHERE

1006
00:28:02,786 --> 00:28:03,518
THE STORY GETS QUITE A BIT

1007
00:28:03,587 --> 00:28:04,886
DARKER.

1008
00:28:04,955 --> 00:28:05,920
>> MORE THAN TWO MILLION

1009
00:28:05,989 --> 00:28:06,554
CHILDREN ARE BEING HOMESCHOOLED

1010
00:28:06,623 --> 00:28:08,055
IN THE U.S.

1011
00:28:08,124 --> 00:28:09,690
MANY OF THEM LIVING IN STATES

1012
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:12,026
THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO

1013
00:28:12,095 --> 00:28:13,828
REGULATIONS, MAKING IT EASY FOR

1014
00:28:13,897 --> 00:28:14,562
ABUSIVE PARENTS TO HIDE BEHIND

1015
00:28:14,631 --> 00:28:16,297
THE SYSTEM.

1016
00:28:16,366 --> 00:28:17,999
THESE ARE THE FACES OF JUST SOME

1017
00:28:18,068 --> 00:28:20,334
OF THE HOMESCHOOL CHILDREN THAT

1018
00:28:20,403 --> 00:28:22,036
HAVE DIED OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT

1019
00:28:22,105 --> 00:28:22,670
SUSANNA GRUBBS WAS HOMESCHOOLED

1020
00:28:22,739 --> 00:28:23,571
IN MISSOURI.

1021
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,572
SHE TELLS US, THE DISCIPLINE SHE

1022
00:28:24,641 --> 00:28:25,106
RECEIVED WAS ANYTHING BUT

1023
00:28:25,175 --> 00:28:29,310
GENTLE.

1024
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:29,877
>> I THINK THAT, IN A LOT OF

1025
00:28:29,946 --> 00:28:30,778
WAYS, ME AND MY SIBLINGS TOTALLY

1026
00:28:30,847 --> 00:28:31,279
FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

1027
00:28:31,348 --> 00:28:33,614
BECAUSE, I MEAN, WITH MY MOM'S

1028
00:28:33,683 --> 00:28:34,882
DISCIPLINARY TECHNIQUES, AND MY

1029
00:28:34,951 --> 00:28:36,651
MOM'S EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT.

1030
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,652
IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE THAT IT --

1031
00:28:37,721 --> 00:28:38,219
IT HAS HAPPENED AND IT KEEPS

1032
00:28:38,288 --> 00:28:39,720
HAPPENING.

1033
00:28:39,789 --> 00:28:40,888
AND NOBODY WANTS TO STOP IT

1034
00:28:40,957 --> 00:28:43,024
BECAUSE PARENTAL RIGHTS ARE SO

1035
00:28:43,093 --> 00:28:43,624
PARAMOUNT TO ANYTHING ELSE IN

1036
00:28:43,693 --> 00:28:45,293
THIS COUNTRY.

1037
00:28:45,362 --> 00:28:46,461
>> John: EXACTLY.

1038
00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:47,895
AND THAT'S MASSIVELY DANGEROUS.

1039
00:28:47,964 --> 00:28:48,629
BECAUSE DEREGULATING

1040
00:28:48,698 --> 00:28:50,832
HOMESCHOOLING DOESN'T JUST

1041
00:28:50,901 --> 00:28:52,333
ELIMINATE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST

1042
00:28:52,402 --> 00:28:53,701
PARENTS WHO ARE BAD TEACHERS, IT

1043
00:28:53,770 --> 00:28:54,902
ALSO ELIMINATES THEM AGAINST

1044
00:28:54,971 --> 00:28:57,638
PARENTS WHO ARE BAD PEOPLE.

1045
00:28:57,707 --> 00:28:58,339
FOR ALL THE HSLDA'S TALK OF

1046
00:28:58,408 --> 00:28:59,574
"PARENTAL RIGHTS," IT'S WORTH

1047
00:28:59,643 --> 00:29:00,875
REMEMBERING: ELON MUSK IS A

1048
00:29:00,944 --> 00:29:02,076
PARENT.

1049
00:29:02,145 --> 00:29:03,978
OJ SIMPSON IS A PARENT.

1050
00:29:04,047 --> 00:29:06,581
DARTH VADER IS SUCH A PARENT HE

1051
00:29:06,650 --> 00:29:08,049
MADE IT PART OF HIS FANCY NAME

1052
00:29:08,118 --> 00:29:08,850
CHANGE.

1053
00:29:08,919 --> 00:29:09,884
THE POINT IS, HAVING A CHILD

1054
00:29:09,953 --> 00:29:11,419
DOES NOT INHERENTLY MAKE YOU

1055
00:29:11,488 --> 00:29:12,687
VIRTUOUS.

1056
00:29:12,756 --> 00:29:15,223
AND ONE OF THE KEY PROBLEMS HERE

1057
00:29:15,292 --> 00:29:16,691
IS, CHILD WELFARE LAWS WERE

1058
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,993
WRITTEN BEFORE HOMESCHOOLING WAS

1059
00:29:19,062 --> 00:29:20,795
LEGAL IN ALL FIFTY STATES.

1060
00:29:20,864 --> 00:29:22,897
SO THEY RELY HEAVILY ON THE

1061
00:29:22,966 --> 00:29:24,665
PREMISE THAT A CHILD IS GOING TO

1062
00:29:24,734 --> 00:29:26,601
BE IN SCHOOL AND SEEN BY OTHER

1063
00:29:26,670 --> 00:29:28,836
ADULTS, AS THIS DA EXPLAINS.

1064
00:29:28,905 --> 00:29:30,505
>> A LOT OF CHILD ABUSE GETS

1065
00:29:30,574 --> 00:29:32,140
REPORTED THROUGH OUR SCHOOLS.

1066
00:29:32,209 --> 00:29:34,308
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL

1067
00:29:34,377 --> 00:29:34,876
ADMINISTRATORS ARE MANDATED

1068
00:29:34,945 --> 00:29:36,244
REPORTERS.

1069
00:29:36,313 --> 00:29:37,712
SO, YOU KNOW, IF A CHILD COMES

1070
00:29:37,781 --> 00:29:39,447
TO SCHOOL WITH BRUISES OR

1071
00:29:39,516 --> 00:29:41,449
EMACIATED, THAT IS A VERY COMMON

1072
00:29:41,518 --> 00:29:42,517
WAY THAT IT GETS REPORTED.

1073
00:29:42,586 --> 00:29:43,818
>> John: RIGHT.

1074
00:29:43,887 --> 00:29:45,953
BECAUSE THE FACT IS, TEACHERS

1075
00:29:46,022 --> 00:29:46,754
SERVE MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS AT

1076
00:29:46,823 --> 00:29:48,356
SCHOOL IN ADDITION TO EDUCATION.

1077
00:29:48,425 --> 00:29:49,690
THEY WATCH OUT FOR SIGNS OF

1078
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:50,892
ABUSE, THEY CHAPERONE SCHOOL

1079
00:29:50,961 --> 00:29:52,660
EVENTS, AND THEY PRETEND NOT TO

1080
00:29:52,729 --> 00:29:54,095
KNOW WHY ELLIE WON'T SIT NEXT TO

1081
00:29:54,164 --> 00:29:55,329
RACHEL, RACHEL WON'T SIT NEXT TO

1082
00:29:55,398 --> 00:29:56,798
KELSEY, KELSEY'S NOT TALKING TO

1083
00:29:56,867 --> 00:29:58,166
ETHAN EVEN THOUGH ETHAN'S HAVING

1084
00:29:58,235 --> 00:29:59,500
A JOINT BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH

1085
00:29:59,569 --> 00:30:01,002
KELSEY'S BROTHER BRYCE, WHO JUST

1086
00:30:01,071 --> 00:30:01,803
HAPPENS TO BE RACHEL'S BOYFRIEND

1087
00:30:01,872 --> 00:30:03,137
SINCE LAST PERIOD.

1088
00:30:03,206 --> 00:30:04,138
AND THEY DO ALL OF THAT WHILE

1089
00:30:04,207 --> 00:30:05,239
ALSO TRYING TO TEACH LONG

1090
00:30:05,308 --> 00:30:06,240
DIVISION.

1091
00:30:06,309 --> 00:30:07,308
TEACHERS ARE SUPERHEROES WHO

1092
00:30:07,377 --> 00:30:09,477
SHOULD MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS A

1093
00:30:09,546 --> 00:30:11,879
YEAR.

1094
00:30:11,948 --> 00:30:12,680
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

1095
00:30:12,749 --> 00:30:13,314
SO YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE THE FACT

1096
00:30:13,383 --> 00:30:16,050
THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO PULL A KID

1097
00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:18,152
OUT OF SCHOOL, WITH NO QUESTIONS

1098
00:30:18,221 --> 00:30:20,321
ASKED OR FOLLOWUPS ALLOWED,

1099
00:30:20,390 --> 00:30:21,756
COULD EASILY BE EXPLOITED BY

1100
00:30:21,825 --> 00:30:23,825
ABUSIVE PARENTS.

1101
00:30:23,894 --> 00:30:24,759
ESPECIALLY AS MOST STATES DON'T

1102
00:30:24,828 --> 00:30:28,095
EVEN SCREEN HOMESCHOOL PARENTS

1103
00:30:28,164 --> 00:30:28,429
FOR RED FLAGS.

1104
00:30:28,498 --> 00:30:30,665
48 STATES HAVE NO

1105
00:30:30,734 --> 00:30:32,266
BACKGROUND-CHECK PROCESS FOR

1106
00:30:32,335 --> 00:30:34,135
PARENTS WHO CHOOSE TO

1107
00:30:34,204 --> 00:30:34,435
HOMESCHOOL.

1108
00:30:34,504 --> 00:30:36,104
IN FACT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A

1109
00:30:36,173 --> 00:30:37,004
PRIOR CONVICTION OF A CRIME

1110
00:30:37,073 --> 00:30:38,272
AGAINST A CHILD, YOU CAN

1111
00:30:38,341 --> 00:30:39,507
HOMESCHOOL THEM.

1112
00:30:39,576 --> 00:30:40,942
A STUDY DONE IN CONNECTICUT

1113
00:30:41,011 --> 00:30:43,277
FOUND THAT OF THE 380 STUDENTS

1114
00:30:43,346 --> 00:30:43,911
WITHDRAWN IN SIX DISTRICTS TO BE

1115
00:30:43,980 --> 00:30:46,414
HOMESCHOOLED, 138 LIVED IN

1116
00:30:46,483 --> 00:30:47,748
FAMILIES THAT WERE THE SUBJECT

1117
00:30:47,817 --> 00:30:50,184
OF AT LEAST ONE PRIOR REPORT OF

1118
00:30:50,253 --> 00:30:52,820
SUSPECTED ABUSE OR NEGLECT.

1119
00:30:52,889 --> 00:30:54,922
AND YET, DESPITE THIS, AT EVERY

1120
00:30:54,991 --> 00:30:56,624
TURN, THE HSLDA HAS VIGOROUSLY

1121
00:30:56,693 --> 00:30:58,226
FOUGHT EFFORTS TO PUT ANY

1122
00:30:58,295 --> 00:31:01,295
GUARDRAILS IN PLACE.

1123
00:31:01,364 --> 00:31:03,097
HERE'S THEIR THEN-PRESIDENT, IN

1124
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,265
2015, EXPLAINING WHY THEY FIGHT

1125
00:31:04,334 --> 00:31:05,433
ALL REGULATIONS, EVEN ONES

1126
00:31:05,502 --> 00:31:07,902
EXPLICITLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT

1127
00:31:07,971 --> 00:31:11,172
CHILD ABUSE.

1128
00:31:11,241 --> 00:31:12,440
>> CHILD ABUSE IS A PARENTAL

1129
00:31:12,509 --> 00:31:12,807
ISSUE, ISN'T IT?

1130
00:31:12,876 --> 00:31:13,474
ANY CHILD, WHETHER THEY BE A

1131
00:31:13,543 --> 00:31:15,977
NON-HOMESCHOOL CHILD -- OR A

1132
00:31:16,046 --> 00:31:16,511
PARENT, WHETHER THEY BE A

1133
00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:18,312
HOMESCHOOL PARENT, THEY CAN

1134
00:31:18,381 --> 00:31:19,313
ABUSE THEIR CHILDREN. THEY HAVE

1135
00:31:19,382 --> 00:31:20,915
THE POTENTIAL TO DO IT.

1136
00:31:20,984 --> 00:31:21,549
SO, WHY SHOULD WE -- FOR JUST A

1137
00:31:21,618 --> 00:31:26,053
FEW -- WHY SHOULD WE FOR JUST A

1138
00:31:26,122 --> 00:31:26,954
FEW INVADE ALL OF THE OTHER

1139
00:31:27,023 --> 00:31:27,989
INNOCENT PARENTS?

1140
00:31:28,058 --> 00:31:28,489
THAT'S PRIOR RESTRAINT.

1141
00:31:28,558 --> 00:31:29,824
IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

1142
00:31:29,893 --> 00:31:31,492
IT'S UN-AMERICAN.

1143
00:31:31,561 --> 00:31:33,327
>> ARE THERE -- ARE THERE SOME

1144
00:31:33,396 --> 00:31:34,996
CATEGORIES OF REGULATIONS AROUND

1145
00:31:35,065 --> 00:31:36,430
HOMESCHOOLING THAT YOU WOULD

1146
00:31:36,499 --> 00:31:38,800
SUPPORT THAT YOU DON'T THINK OF

1147
00:31:38,869 --> 00:31:39,400
AS AN INVASION OR A TAKEOVER?

1148
00:31:39,469 --> 00:31:46,469
>> NO, NOT ANY.

1149
00:31:47,077 --> 00:31:47,642
>> John: OKAY, IT'S BAD ENOUGH

1150
00:31:47,711 --> 00:31:49,076
HE'S ARGUING FOR A TOTAL LACK OF

1151
00:31:49,145 --> 00:31:50,111
REGULATION, BUT THE FACT THAT HE

1152
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:51,779
OPENLY LICKS THE CORNERS OF HIS

1153
00:31:51,848 --> 00:31:53,714
MOUTH BEFORE DOING SO SOMEHOW

1154
00:31:53,783 --> 00:31:55,349
MAKES IT WORSE.

1155
00:31:55,418 --> 00:31:56,818
HE LOOKS LIKE A CAT WENT TO A

1156
00:31:56,887 --> 00:31:58,219
ZOLTAR MACHINE AND MADE A WISH

1157
00:31:58,288 --> 00:32:01,222
TO BE ANDY GRIFFITH.

1158
00:32:01,291 --> 00:32:03,424
THE HSLDA VIEWS ANY OVERSIGHT

1159
00:32:03,493 --> 00:32:04,292
WHATSOEVER AS AN ATTACK, EVEN

1160
00:32:04,361 --> 00:32:05,893
OFFERING MEMBERS A 24-HOUR

1161
00:32:05,962 --> 00:32:08,029
HOTLINE IN CASE OF A VISIT FROM

1162
00:32:08,098 --> 00:32:09,163
THE STATE.

1163
00:32:09,232 --> 00:32:10,932
IN FACT, HERE'S THE SISTER OF

1164
00:32:11,001 --> 00:32:12,366
THAT WOMAN YOU SAW EARLIER,

1165
00:32:12,435 --> 00:32:14,902
EXPLAINING HOW THEY'D PRACTICE

1166
00:32:14,971 --> 00:32:16,137
WHAT TO DO IF CHILD PROTECTIVE

1167
00:32:16,206 --> 00:32:16,938
SERVICES SHOWED UP ON THEIR

1168
00:32:17,007 --> 00:32:18,206
DOORSTEP.

1169
00:32:18,275 --> 00:32:18,773
>> THE PARENT WOULD LOCK THE

1170
00:32:18,842 --> 00:32:21,075
FRONT DOOR, WOULD CALL THE

1171
00:32:21,144 --> 00:32:22,810
HOMESCHOOL LEGAL DEFENSE

1172
00:32:22,879 --> 00:32:24,312
ASSOCIATION ON THE PHONE, HAND

1173
00:32:24,381 --> 00:32:25,213
THE PHONE OUT THE KITCHEN

1174
00:32:25,282 --> 00:32:26,180
WINDOW, AND US KIDS WERE

1175
00:32:26,249 --> 00:32:26,681
SUPPOSED TO HIDE IN THE

1176
00:32:26,750 --> 00:32:28,583
BASEMENT.

1177
00:32:28,652 --> 00:32:30,284
WE ACTUALLY DID DRILLS ON THIS

1178
00:32:30,353 --> 00:32:31,385
STUFF, FOLKS.

1179
00:32:31,454 --> 00:32:33,588
WE DID DRILLS IN CASE SOMEONE

1180
00:32:33,657 --> 00:32:35,590
EVER DECIDED TO CHECK IN ON OUR

1181
00:32:35,659 --> 00:32:36,858
WELL-BEING.

1182
00:32:36,927 --> 00:32:39,026
>> John: HOLY SHIT, THAT'S DARK.

1183
00:32:39,095 --> 00:32:40,728
DRILLS ARE MEANT FOR PRACTICING

1184
00:32:40,797 --> 00:32:41,829
WHAT TO DO TO AVOID GETTING

1185
00:32:41,898 --> 00:32:44,499
HURT, NOT TO AVOID GETTING HELP.

1186
00:32:44,568 --> 00:32:46,367
IT'S WHY FIRE ALARMS SAY "PULL

1187
00:32:46,436 --> 00:32:48,302
HERE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" AND

1188
00:32:48,371 --> 00:32:50,671
NOT "SNITCHES GET STITCHES."

1189
00:32:50,740 --> 00:32:51,572
AND THE THING IS, BECAUSE OF ITS

1190
00:32:51,641 --> 00:32:53,274
COMMITTED MEMBERSHIP, THE HSLDA

1191
00:32:53,343 --> 00:32:54,308
HAS THE POWER TO STOP ANY KIND

1192
00:32:54,377 --> 00:32:56,811
OF OVERSIGHT IN ITS TRACKS.

1193
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:57,645
TAKE RAYLEE'S LAW, NAMED AFTER

1194
00:32:57,714 --> 00:32:59,747
AN 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN

1195
00:32:59,816 --> 00:33:00,748
WEST VIRGINIA WHOSE FATHER

1196
00:33:00,817 --> 00:33:01,883
PULLED HER OUT OF SCHOOL AFTER

1197
00:33:01,952 --> 00:33:02,817
HE WAS REPORTED FOR ABUSE.

1198
00:33:02,886 --> 00:33:04,552
SHE DIED OF NEGLECT ONLY A FEW

1199
00:33:04,621 --> 00:33:06,420
WEEKS LATER.

1200
00:33:06,489 --> 00:33:08,356
EVENTUALLY, LEGISLATORS PROPOSED

1201
00:33:08,425 --> 00:33:08,990
A LAW THAT WOULD PREVENT PARENTS

1202
00:33:09,059 --> 00:33:10,124
FROM WITHDRAWING A CHILD FROM

1203
00:33:10,193 --> 00:33:11,225
SCHOOL WHEN THERE IS A PENDING

1204
00:33:11,294 --> 00:33:14,095
CHILD ABUSE OR NEGLECT

1205
00:33:14,164 --> 00:33:14,796
INVESTIGATION OR WHEN A PARENT

1206
00:33:14,865 --> 00:33:16,430
HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC

1207
00:33:16,499 --> 00:33:17,031
VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE OR

1208
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:22,136
NEGLECT.

1209
00:33:22,205 --> 00:33:23,371
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE EASY TO

1210
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,105
GET PASSED, RIGHT?

1211
00:33:24,174 --> 00:33:25,239
BUT AS THE LEGISLATOR WHO

1212
00:33:25,308 --> 00:33:25,840
PROPOSED IT FOUND OUT, NOT SO

1213
00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:26,040
MUCH.

1214
00:33:26,109 --> 00:33:29,043
>> THERE ARE GROUPS I WANT TO

1215
00:33:29,112 --> 00:33:31,846
SAY, THERE'S LIKE THIS

1216
00:33:31,915 --> 00:33:33,748
HOMESCHOOL DEFENSE FUND GROUP

1217
00:33:33,817 --> 00:33:34,882
THAT CAME OUT AGAINST RAYLEE'S

1218
00:33:34,951 --> 00:33:35,049
LAW.

1219
00:33:35,118 --> 00:33:35,383
>> THE HSLDA?

1220
00:33:35,452 --> 00:33:36,083
>> THAT'S IT.

1221
00:33:36,152 --> 00:33:37,251
AND THERE WERE QUOTES ABOUT HOW

1222
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,886
AWFUL THIS BILL WAS AND IT'S AN

1223
00:33:38,955 --> 00:33:40,555
ATTACK ON HOMESCHOOLING AND, YOU

1224
00:33:40,624 --> 00:33:41,489
KNOW, THEY WANT TO MOVE THE --

1225
00:33:41,558 --> 00:33:43,191
THE GOAL POST.

1226
00:33:43,260 --> 00:33:44,725
THAT'S WHAT YOU DO IN POLITICS,

1227
00:33:44,794 --> 00:33:45,726
BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT MAYBE

1228
00:33:45,795 --> 00:33:46,828
PROTECTING CHILDREN, YOU

1229
00:33:46,897 --> 00:33:51,732
WOULDN'T ACTUALLY GO ABOUT THAT.

1230
00:33:51,801 --> 00:33:54,135
>> John: RIGHT, AND THAT SEEMS

1231
00:33:54,204 --> 00:33:54,535
PRETTY REASONABLE.

1232
00:33:54,604 --> 00:33:55,136
AND IF THE HSLDA THINKS TRYING

1233
00:33:55,205 --> 00:33:55,770
TO PROTECT KIDS FROM BEING TAKEN

1234
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:56,471
OUT OF SCHOOL BY PEOPLE

1235
00:33:56,540 --> 00:33:57,071
CONVICTED OF CHILD ABUSE IS AN

1236
00:33:57,140 --> 00:34:00,007
"ATTACK ON HOMESCHOOLING"

1237
00:34:00,076 --> 00:34:00,641
THEY'RE SAYING QUITE A BIT ABOUT

1238
00:34:00,710 --> 00:34:01,275
WHAT THEY BELIEVE HOMESCHOOLING

1239
00:34:01,344 --> 00:34:02,210
TO BE.

1240
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:04,479
IF CHILI'S RESPONDED TO A HEALTH

1241
00:34:04,548 --> 00:34:06,781
INSPECTOR WRITING THEIR WORKERS

1242
00:34:06,850 --> 00:34:07,582
UP FOR PISSING IN THE SKILLET

1243
00:34:07,651 --> 00:34:08,850
QUESO WITH "THIS IS AN ATTACK ON

1244
00:34:08,919 --> 00:34:10,918
EVERYTHING CHILI'S STANDS FOR,

1245
00:34:10,987 --> 00:34:12,687
DON'T PUNISH THE MAJORITY OF OUR

1246
00:34:12,756 --> 00:34:16,157
STAFF FOR THE MINORITY WHO PISS

1247
00:34:16,226 --> 00:34:16,691
AND SHIT IN OUR PRESIDENTE

1248
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,758
MARGARITAS," YOU'D HAVE SOME

1249
00:34:17,827 --> 00:34:19,727
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT CHILLI'S

1250
00:34:19,796 --> 00:34:21,562
THINKS IT STANDS FOR.

1251
00:34:21,631 --> 00:34:22,430
AND FOR THE RECORD, THAT MAN'S

1252
00:34:22,499 --> 00:34:24,198
BILL NEVER PASSED.

1253
00:34:24,267 --> 00:34:25,099
AND THAT STORY'S BEEN REPEATED

1254
00:34:25,168 --> 00:34:28,503
IN STATE AFTER STATE.

1255
00:34:28,572 --> 00:34:33,074
AS ONE LEGISLATIVE AIDE WHO'S

1256
00:34:33,143 --> 00:34:33,708
GONE UP AGAINST HSLDA HAS SAID,

1257
00:34:33,777 --> 00:34:34,308
"I'VE NEVER SEEN A LOBBY MORE

1258
00:34:34,377 --> 00:34:34,742
POWERFUL AND SCARY."

1259
00:34:34,811 --> 00:34:35,877
AND A LEGISLATOR IN ARKANSAS WHO

1260
00:34:35,946 --> 00:34:37,445
TANGLED WITH THEM SAYS, "THEY

1261
00:34:37,514 --> 00:34:39,781
TOLD ME THE ONLY LEGISLATION

1262
00:34:39,850 --> 00:34:42,316
THEY WANTED WAS WHAT ALASKA HAD,

1263
00:34:42,385 --> 00:34:42,750
WHICH WAS NOTHING."

1264
00:34:42,819 --> 00:34:44,986
AT A CERTAIN POINT, IT STAR TO

1265
00:34:45,055 --> 00:34:46,454
FEEL LIKE THE HSLDA IS BASICALLY

1266
00:34:46,523 --> 00:34:47,922
THE HOMESCHOOLING EQUIVALENT OF

1267
00:34:47,991 --> 00:34:48,589
THE NRA -- AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL

1268
00:34:48,658 --> 00:34:51,726
ORGANIZATION THAT, WHILE IT

1269
00:34:51,795 --> 00:34:52,894
REPRESENTS A LARGE NUMBER OF

1270
00:34:52,963 --> 00:34:54,328
PEOPLE, PURSUES AN

1271
00:34:54,397 --> 00:34:54,896
OUTERMOST-FRINGE VERSION OF

1272
00:34:54,965 --> 00:34:56,631
THEIR AGENDA.

1273
00:34:56,700 --> 00:34:58,366
SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

1274
00:34:58,435 --> 00:34:59,534
WELL, IN A PERFECT WORLD, WE'D

1275
00:34:59,603 --> 00:35:01,569
MAKE SURE THAT HOMESCHOOL KIDS

1276
00:35:01,638 --> 00:35:03,838
WERE BOTH SAFE, AND ACTUALLY

1277
00:35:03,907 --> 00:35:04,505
RECEIVING A FUNCTIONAL

1278
00:35:04,574 --> 00:35:05,540
EDUCATION.

1279
00:35:05,609 --> 00:35:08,109
AND THERE ARE SMALLER

1280
00:35:08,178 --> 00:35:08,676
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS ONE,

1281
00:35:08,745 --> 00:35:10,077
PUSHING FOR THOSE SORTS OF

1282
00:35:10,146 --> 00:35:10,545
CHANGES.

1283
00:35:10,614 --> 00:35:12,313
BUT AT THE BAREST MINIMUM, WE

1284
00:35:12,382 --> 00:35:13,481
COULD REQUIRE, IN ALL 50 STATES,

1285
00:35:13,550 --> 00:35:16,484
TO REGISTER A CHILD AS

1286
00:35:16,553 --> 00:35:17,552
HOMESCHOOLED, SO THERE'S AT

1287
00:35:17,621 --> 00:35:22,089
LEAST A RECORD THAT THEY EXIST.

1288
00:35:22,158 --> 00:35:23,057
THAT IS HOW LOW THE BAR IS HERE,

1289
00:35:23,126 --> 00:35:24,158
AT THE EARTH'S CORE -- WHICH I'M

1290
00:35:24,227 --> 00:35:25,760
SURE, ACCORDING TO AT LEAST ONE

1291
00:35:25,829 --> 00:35:26,627
HOMESCHOOLING TEXTBOOK, IS

1292
00:35:26,696 --> 00:35:30,331
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SOIL AND THE

1293
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,032
FIERY BOWELS OF HELL.

1294
00:35:31,101 --> 00:35:31,933
BUT BEYOND THAT, WE COULD PASS

1295
00:35:32,002 --> 00:35:35,369
SOME BASIC CHILD SAFETY

1296
00:35:35,438 --> 00:35:36,571
PROTECTIONS TO ENSURE PARENTS

1297
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,439
CAN'T PULL THEIR KIDS OUT OF

1298
00:35:38,508 --> 00:35:39,040
SCHOOL TO ESCAPE SCRUTINY FOR

1299
00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:40,508
ABUSE.

1300
00:35:40,577 --> 00:35:42,276
A FEW YEARS AGO, TO ITS CREDIT,

1301
00:35:42,345 --> 00:35:43,311
GEORGIA PASSED A LAW THAT

1302
00:35:43,380 --> 00:35:44,579
REQUIRES PARENTS WHO PULL KIDS

1303
00:35:44,648 --> 00:35:45,880
OUT OF SCHOOL FOR NO REASON TO

1304
00:35:45,949 --> 00:35:49,684
SEND DOCUMENTATION WITHIN 45

1305
00:35:49,753 --> 00:35:50,952
DAYS THAT THEY'RE HOMESCHOOLING

1306
00:35:51,021 --> 00:35:52,153
THEIR CHILD, OR PROOF OF

1307
00:35:52,222 --> 00:35:54,922
ATTENDANCE AT ANOTHER SCHOOL.

1308
00:35:54,991 --> 00:35:55,823
IF THEY DON'T, THEY'RE SUBJECT

1309
00:35:55,892 --> 00:35:57,391
TO A FOLLOW-UP FROM THE STATE.

1310
00:35:57,460 --> 00:35:58,960
AND EVEN THIS REPUBLICAN GEORGIA

1311
00:35:59,029 --> 00:35:59,594
STATE REP ACKNOWLEDGED, IT WAS

1312
00:35:59,663 --> 00:36:02,997
NEEDED.

1313
00:36:03,066 --> 00:36:03,598
>> IF THE PEOPLE IN YOUR WORLD

1314
00:36:03,667 --> 00:36:06,167
THAT YOU BELIEVE ARE MOST

1315
00:36:06,236 --> 00:36:07,802
PROTECTIVE OF YOU ARE -- ARE

1316
00:36:07,871 --> 00:36:09,771
TORTURING YOU OR ABUSING YOU.

1317
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,404
WHO'S GOING TO -- WHO'S GOING TO

1318
00:36:10,473 --> 00:36:11,439
LOOK OUT FOR YOU?

1319
00:36:11,508 --> 00:36:12,039
I MEAN -- I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I

1320
00:36:12,108 --> 00:36:13,074
DON'T LIKE GOVERNMENT

1321
00:36:13,143 --> 00:36:14,575
INTERVENTION IN A LOT OF THINGS,

1322
00:36:14,644 --> 00:36:15,109
BUT I DON'T, YOU KNOW, THE

1323
00:36:15,178 --> 00:36:16,511
GOVERNMENT'S THE ONLY PERSON

1324
00:36:16,580 --> 00:36:17,578
THAT I KNOW THAT CAN INTERVENE

1325
00:36:17,647 --> 00:36:18,179
IN THIS KIND OF CASE TO SAVE A

1326
00:36:18,248 --> 00:36:19,180
CHILD.

1327
00:36:19,249 --> 00:36:20,815
>> John: YEAH, HE'S RIGHT.

1328
00:36:20,884 --> 00:36:22,383
HE'S JUST COMPLETELY RIGHT.

1329
00:36:22,452 --> 00:36:23,851
AND AGREEING WITH A STAUNCH

1330
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,219
REPUBLICAN GEORGIA STATE REP

1331
00:36:25,288 --> 00:36:29,056
WASN'T SOMETHING I HAD ON MY

1332
00:36:29,125 --> 00:36:29,423
2023 BINGO CARD.

1333
00:36:29,492 --> 00:36:30,725
I'VE ALMOST GOT A FULL BINGO BY

1334
00:36:30,794 --> 00:36:32,026
THE WAY, I'M JUST WAITING ON YOU

1335
00:36:32,095 --> 00:36:36,330
KNOW WHO TO YOU KNOW WHAT.

1336
00:36:36,399 --> 00:36:36,898
AND TO BE CLEAR, I SHARE HIS

1337
00:36:36,967 --> 00:36:37,632
AMBIVALENCE ABOUT GOVERNMENT

1338
00:36:37,701 --> 00:36:38,766
INTERVENTION HERE.

1339
00:36:38,835 --> 00:36:40,301
I UNDERSTAND THAT INVOLVING

1340
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:41,736
SOCIAL SERVICES AND THE

1341
00:36:41,805 --> 00:36:42,603
GOVERNMENT IN PEOPLE'S PERSONAL

1342
00:36:42,672 --> 00:36:44,472
SITUATIONS POSES A RISK,

1343
00:36:44,541 --> 00:36:46,407
ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO AREN'T

1344
00:36:46,476 --> 00:36:47,542
WEALTHY AND WHO AREN'T WHITE.

1345
00:36:47,611 --> 00:36:49,477
IT'S NOT LIKE I LOVE THE IDEA OF

1346
00:36:49,546 --> 00:36:50,812
GIVING THE STATE ROOM TO POKE

1347
00:36:50,881 --> 00:36:52,580
AROUND IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, OR

1348
00:36:52,649 --> 00:36:54,215
THAT I THINK OUR CHILD

1349
00:36:54,284 --> 00:36:54,816
PROTECTIVE SERVICES SYSTEM IS

1350
00:36:54,885 --> 00:36:56,350
FLAWLESS, NO NOTES.

1351
00:36:56,419 --> 00:36:57,785
WE'RE ALMOST DEFINITELY GOING TO

1352
00:36:57,854 --> 00:36:58,686
BE DOING A MAIN STORY ON CPS ONE

1353
00:36:58,755 --> 00:37:00,688
DAY.

1354
00:37:00,757 --> 00:37:02,723
BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE GIVING

1355
00:37:02,792 --> 00:37:04,525
PARENTS A "GET OUT OF ALL

1356
00:37:04,594 --> 00:37:05,793
SCRUTINY FREE, NO QUESTIONS

1357
00:37:05,862 --> 00:37:06,828
ASKED" CARD JUST ISN'T THE

1358
00:37:06,897 --> 00:37:08,529
ANSWER HERE.

1359
00:37:08,598 --> 00:37:10,231
BECAUSE BEING A PARENT DOESN'T

1360
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:10,765
AUTOMATICALLY MAKE SOMEONE

1361
00:37:10,834 --> 00:37:11,833
MORAL.

1362
00:37:11,902 --> 00:37:13,501
AND BEING WITH A PARENT DOESN'T

1363
00:37:13,570 --> 00:37:16,003
AUTOMATICALLY MAKE A CHILD SAFE.

1364
00:37:16,072 --> 00:37:17,905
AND THE TRUTH IS, A FEW EXTRA

1365
00:37:17,974 --> 00:37:19,407
SECURITY MEASURES WOULD NOT HURT

1366
00:37:19,476 --> 00:37:22,310
THE MANY PARENTS WHO HOMESCHOOL

1367
00:37:22,379 --> 00:37:23,211
THEIR CHILDREN RESPONSIBLY, BUT

1368
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,712
THEY'D DEFINITELY SAFEGUARD

1369
00:37:24,781 --> 00:37:26,948
AGAINST THOSE WHO USE "PERSONAL

1370
00:37:27,017 --> 00:37:28,549
LIBERTY" AS AN EXCUSE TO NEGLECT

1371
00:37:28,618 --> 00:37:30,418
OR HARM THEIR KIDS.

1372
00:37:30,487 --> 00:37:31,018
THE HSLDA CAN SAY ALL IT WANTS

1373
00:37:31,087 --> 00:37:32,420
THAT IT DOESN'T SUPPORT NAZIS OR

1374
00:37:32,489 --> 00:37:34,455
CHILD ABUSERS.

1375
00:37:34,524 --> 00:37:36,924
BUT THE FACT IS, THE POLICIES IT

1376
00:37:36,993 --> 00:37:40,928
RELENTLESSLY PUSHES ALLOW THEM

1377
00:37:40,997 --> 00:37:41,963
TO THRIVE.

1378
00:37:42,032 --> 00:37:42,897
AND BASIC REFORMS HERE SHOULDN'T

1379
00:37:42,966 --> 00:37:44,499
BE REMOTELY CONTROVERSIAL,

1380
00:37:44,568 --> 00:37:45,600
BECAUSE AFTER ALL, THIS IS ABOUT

1381
00:37:45,669 --> 00:37:46,501
CHILD WELFARE.

1382
00:37:46,570 --> 00:37:48,035
THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.

1383
00:37:48,104 --> 00:37:50,738
IT'S NOT EVEN A HOME SHEEP-EYE

1384
00:37:50,807 --> 00:37:52,340
DISSECTION -- DON'T GOOGLE IT,

1385
00:37:52,409 --> 00:37:53,908
BY THE WAY, I CANNOT EMPHASIZE

1386
00:37:53,977 --> 00:37:54,909
THAT ENOUGH.

1387
00:37:54,978 --> 00:37:56,444
ALL OF THIS IS JUST BASIC COMMON

1388
00:37:56,513 --> 00:37:57,578
SENSE.

1389
00:37:57,647 --> 00:37:59,814
AND NOW, THIS.

1390
00:37:59,883 --> 00:38:02,683
>> Announcer: AND NOW, THE

1391
00:38:02,752 --> 00:38:04,786
SURPRISING IMPORTANCE OF EMOJIS

BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET IT.

1396
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:18,466

1397
00:38:18,535 --> 00:38:20,968
THROUGH EMOJI AND GIF IN WHICH

1398
00:38:21,037 --> 00:38:22,637
YOU POSTED A WATERFALL WHICH

1399
00:38:22,706 --> 00:38:25,540
MEANS YOU ARE IN A STATE OF

1400
00:38:25,609 --> 00:38:32,480
SEXUAL EXULTATION.
