What if I told you that unschooling is one of the things that could save America. I can hear already people saying, ah, yeah, there's the conservative anti intellectual hates academics. No, I hate what academia has become. I loathe what many of the government schools have become. But if you are in a place where you have no choice but government schools, you'd be better
off unschooling. Now, there's a difference between unschooling and homeschooling. I think we can rely on the data to show that homeschooling is superior to the government schools in many many cases, superior intellectually. If you're hooked up with homeschooling co ops, it's superior in terms of community. From my mind, if it's part of a Christian community that you homeschool together, well, then it's vastly superior to all these things. My point today is that unschooling would actually
be one bigger step people could take if they can't homeschool. I'm talking about your kids running wild. I'm not talking about your kids doing the life with you, talking about them going to work with you, being with you during the day. Now they have to be around other kids, it's just vital that they do that. Well, let's talk through what unschooling means and how it could be an ancdote for many, many of the ills that the enemy
has pressed down upon this country, in particularly this country's kids. Will do this with the help of video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com, which allows me to press this button right now as I thank God Almighty for making this even possible. The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high mountains of Free America,
here's the Emerald City exile God her Man. Today is the day the Lord has made, and these are the times to which God has decided we shall live. One of the most beautiful days I had in many beautiful days with my daughter was a day of unschooling, and it informed what I would want to do if I had the freedom to do it on a consistent basis, if I were the parent who was not quote working. Because being a stay at home mom is quite definitely work. It's very serious work. It's perhaps
the most important work. My daughter and I decided to go out for a homeschooling day, whether I did. I took the day off work, and I simply spent the day with my daughter, teaching, but teaching in the following ways. When she got up, we made breakfast together, and in making breakfast, we got out measuring cups. Took the measuring cups and said, here's a cup, here's a half a cup, here's a quarter cup, and showed her how a quarter cup worked to pour into a cup.
And for that moment, all that suddenly made sense. Now a lot of this is inspired by my wife. My wife is an utterly brilliant teacher. God has gifted her with an ability to help kids learn to read and write. And I get to sometimes hear her do this because her tutoring office when she tutors remotely, is next door to the home radio studio. So if I'm not recording, sometimes I can hear my wife doing this. I'm not making coffee, I can hear her doing this. She's so very, very
gifted at this. So some of this is things I picked up from her. Some of it is things I picked up for my mom. It's a master's degree in early childhood education. So my daughter and I made breakfast together. Then we sided on where we wanted to go now. I knew there were some things I wanted to accomplish that day. I wanted her to ride a bus. I wanted her to go downtown and experience that I wanted to have for see some things historical. So we got out a map together.
She and I looked at where we were going to go, what we were going to do now. The map afforded to be the opportunity to say north, south, east, and west, to talk about the amount of time it would take to get there. We looked at our options, such as the ridiculous light rail, which is one of the biggest scams in the history of the world in Seattle. You're still paying for this no matter where you live. It'll never move more than three percent of people out of cars,
simply takes people off buses. We looked at that, We looked at the buses, and we said, what do we want accomplish to day? How much time do we want to spend getting where we're going. That afforded her the opportunity to look at time budgeting, and I talked to her about this. As someone who works, I have to budget my time. There's only so much of it in a twelve hour working day. What am I going to focus on. Some of the things we talked about are doing the hard
tasks first. There's a book called Eat the Frog. Starting your day with the hard tasks so they're out of your way, so the day gets more pleasurable as you go along. She decided that our priority was not spending time on a train. Our priority was to get where we were going. So we took the car. I decided to leave the gas tank far more empty than I normally would, so when we stopped it by gas, I had to get out of the car with me. We talked about what I was
doing, but I was purchasing. And yes, I showed her how much tax we were paying. Right, this isn't really what gas costs, it's what government costs. She didn't like that, didn't think that was fair. Then we drove into downtown Seattle and we parked. Now, as we drove along, there was another opportunity here to teach. Now at the time, I wasn't discipled, so I didn't know it was my job to and press upon her at every single moment the word of God. And so I failed
on that front, and I resent myself for that. Now I've forgiven myself. So I taught moral lessons somehow absent God, as if there's morality without God. So we looked at the people living in the streets and I asked her why do you think they're there? And she said this was funny. She said they all got fired. Ah, that's where her head was at. I I don't know if they all got fired. Some of them probably did. Some of them are probably mentally ill. But what are they doing?
So we sat and we watched, but they weren't doing much. Most of them weren't looking for work. And then I asked, how do they look? It looks sick. We're an opportunity to talk about that. As we went to our destination, our first destination, I asked her should I give them money? She said, well, we're supposed to feed the poor. That's what Jesus said, right. If I give them money, do you think they'll food? Now? She was a little girl and had to
think about that and said drugs, mh. Probably. So we went instead to the Union Gospel Mission right in downtown Seattle, and we dropped some money off there talk to them about what they do, and that began our unschooling
day. From there, we went on the underground tour in Seattle. Now not everybody can have a day off like this, I get that, But think about we'd already done what we'd already taught the math of gas, the fractional use of cups, et cetera, using these physical manipulables, mapping time, budgeting, all of that devoid of politics. Of course, because we're father and daughter. Now the day got more academic, by the way, when we went down into the underground tour, we talked about the history of
Seattle that at one point been twenty feet lower. That was fascinating for her. So was the fact that Seattle used to be a bit of a scammer town still is. Then we went to the highest point we could get in downtown Seattle, which is up in a building that was called the Columbia Seafirst Tower, still the tallest building there. At one point it was the tallest building in the West Coast. From there, we used some elementary geometry.
So look at where we'd been and where we were going. There's the Seattle Center. That's where're going to wrap up our day. So we sat, we drew pictures, art and having drawn the pictures. We went down into the Columbia Tower to have lunch before we took off to the Suttle Center and guess what was there? An art gallery and a lady saw the drawings. My daughter had said, did you draw this yet? She said, my art gallery is not open yet, but I'd like to give you a private
tour. Would that be okay with your dad? I said absolutely, So we got a private tour of her art gallery, and my daughter told her about her unschooling day that was about an eight hour day. To this moment, my daughter is now legally in ad She remembers that as one of the greatest days she's ever had. I will always cherish it. That's an example
of unschooling, and not everybody can do this. But if you're a stay at home mom and you're concerned about home education, how much can your kids learn from simple acts at home such as how much laundry detertion do you use? How long does it wash? Why, why is some clothes easier to wash in others. There's countless, countless ways for it to do this, But it is our job to impress upon kids the word of God. Every time we have an opportunity to do that, so you can also do this.
Homeschooling is one thing, unschooling is another, and its vastly its a superior to what's being done with kids in the government schools. This is an example of one of the reasons why I suggest I don't suggest I state that unschooling is superior to what's being done to young people. This is a sad video in a way, it's funny in a way. I don't want to mock this girl. I'm gonna try not to. Jenzy's so lazy. No one wants to move out of their parents house. They want to be lazy.
No, the average apartment right now is two grand for one person. Now, I'm no mathematician, but I know well that most people are making like maybe double that in a month. Okay, so you're wanting me to live off of like less than two grand a month to the note, and you want to sit here calling gen Z lazy. How about college graduates get paid more? How about college graduates actually are paid enough to live so they can move out of their parents' basement, parents' house, stopping in their parents'
food. Because I know that our parents could afford that, and we can't thank you. Uh now, yesterday though, what was it? It was Monday. I threw myself a fit in here in the studio, throwing around a little headset thing, and I'm embarrassed by that. That's what you post on social media on purpose. This is your way of getting a job later in life. What she's talking about here is a college degree, meaning what exactly if you go back to the unschooling agenda, you go back to this
example. If you and your husband, or you and your wife took turns unschooling the kids and they had access to church youth groups and church communities and homeschooling co ops, and your kid from the time they were five or six years old when on construction jobs with you, do you know what they'd be
willing to be able to do by the age of fourteen. If you're in the trades, if you go into homes and reflects and you're one of those miracle workers who can fix things, and your little boy or little girl goes with you on these trips and watches you fix an an air conditioning device or a furnace or what have you, can you imagine what they'll be able to
accomplish by their time they're fourteen. If part of their day is spending time with your bookkeeper or yourself, if you keep your own books and looking at how to manage assets that way, can you imagine what they'd be able to accomplish by the time they're sixteen or younger. There was a time in this country where this was, in fact the way kids learned important things like farming and repair and in fact building. By the time your kid is eighteen,
they can have the functional skills of an architect. In fact, they could probably go be an architect. If we didn't have the lockdown system where the college has made sure that you have to go to all sorts of college, you'd be able to be called an architect even if you can pass the tests. If you split that up with time at home, with whichever the parent
is at home, God's design was that it would be the woman. And if they're doing that and spending time creating recipes and cooking and taking care of the home and planning the home budget, taking care of the property, gardening, et cetera, you have this incredibly well rounded human being who never has to sit down and have a formal actual education of book learning, I'm not again book learning. In fact, I'm four it to that point. Unschooling
can be reading books with kids. It didn't occur to me that when my daughter and I read The Lord of the Rings together over a period of one year, that it was actually a form of unschooling. I mean, that's an undertaking to take a little girl and read a book like that. We actually started the process when I was in DC and she lived in Seattle. This is towards my end of my time there. I would call her at night and read this to her. We started it that way. We used
to read books to each other remotely. She'd have the physical book in her hand. I'd have the physical book in my hand. I in DC, she and Seattle paging through this. It was my way of keeping contact with her. We can create well rounded human beings that are not exposed to the poison of the government schools but simply having kids live life with us. But the Party would have us a believe that that can't be done. You can't have a well around the human being unless they go in and sit in classrooms
forever. By the way, speaking of that, you want to create boys who don't like school, who don't like learning. Force them to sit for six to eight hours a day. That is not the way God designed their bodies. So if you're raising boys, what about them being out with you as a logger. I know it's a dangerous job. I'm not saying to go have them work the chain line. I'm having them. I'm asking you to see about them observing you do the work, which is so important.
It's vital that kids see this. And we live in a world where people who've had massive educations simply simply don't know anything. Look at this tweet. This is guy, a guy named Roman sharemetaa and look what he put online. Here a recording as regards to current events, share meta Roman share mata. According to Trump, Russia defeated Hitler. The ignorance and stupidity of this man has no bounds. Oh, by the way, community note from Twitter.
A combined Allied effort was required to defeat the Nazis, including material support throughout the Lease Act. However, the Soviet forces killed more German soldiers than their Western counterparts, according to seventy six percent of Germany's military dead. Accounting for his seventy six percent of Germany's military dead that man had no idea, apparently that Russia fought on our side in World War Two. Of course Hitler
attacked Russia. Now we don't talk about the fact that for some time Hitler partnered was stolen, because, of course that would mean that they're left leaning. We can't do that. So who is this guy? Roman Schermeta Well, this is his bio. You can see his picture if you're on the video service video dot The Todd Herman Show dot com. Hey look, he's
got a Ukrainian flag and a profile. Oh I see is a Ukrainian American economist, a professor, a founding rector at AUK, a ted X speaker, poets and quants under forty Forbes under forty top economic thinker who did not know that Russia provided material support in World War Two against the Nazis. Somehow that eluded him. Now, if he'd been unschooled, maybe that wouldn't have happened. We are handing degrees out based upon test taking and completion of tests,
but not the acquisition of know how. Knowledge is different from know how. Guys, I can read all day long about a combustion engine. I've been around combustion engines. My whole life. My dad loved working on them. I started driving race cars when I was five. I started racing against adult men when I was fourteen. I've seen engines taken apart my entire life. I can't begin to fix an engine. I don't have the know how.
I can read about it. I can understand how they work. By principle, I do not have the know how to use my hands to do that. That was something I didn't acquire. If we're going to unschool, what it means is we're also going to unprogrammed. But the government knows this. What is the precursor to confiscation of guns? What is it? What do they always want? Registration? No, no, no, We're simply asking you to register your guns. We're not saying we're gonna take them.
We just want you to register them. Why why would you want me to register my home garden. This is something they're floating that we should register our home gardens. The state of Michigan would like parents who are homeschooling to join a registry of homeschooling households. This comes from the Michigan State Board of Education to pan to have you just sign a registry just so they know what you're doing. Republican Trustee Tom McMillan has said that the registri's idea is quite disturbing.
Well, it should be disturbing because it's not their business. This according to the Michigan Capitol Confidential News website, operated by the conservative think tank Macinac Center. McMillan said the idea is hardly benign. It's just a foot in the door to allow the state to eventually seek unwarranted home entry into the homes of homeschooling families. They also warned that such intrusions would have the color of law, and if parents refuse entry, the officials would be able to barge
in and bust the door down. This is exactly what they're designing. What they want is the ability to take that database and then begin to compare it to other databases, databases like oh people say not affirming their kids. Or maybe it's just an opportunity for the state to come and knock on the door because once the registry exists, I think the representative is correct, just some
home businesses to make sure things are going well. Remember this, there are countries in which homeschooling is banned Germany's one of them now, as we welcome illegal immigrants in the country, not us, but of course the powers that be that be Mitch McConnell and the people who run Joe Biden open arms. You do recall that one family that the people who run Joe Biden seek to have kicked out of the country is a German family who came here with I
think it's about six kids. Why because in Germany it was illegal for them to homeschool their children, so they came here. The people who run Joe Biden back the deportation of families like that, because, after all, the government should make the decision on how your kids are schooled. Unschooling would give your kids a distinct sense of separateness from the government, particularly if you're self sustaining. Now, if I could do life again, there's a lot of
things. I change one of them as I'd probably end up being a wrestling coach of some kind, something like that, working with kids in a Christian school setting, something like that. But I'll also tell you this, from the earliest ages, I would have gone as self sufficient as I possibly could. Beginning at the age of eighteen, was saving money to buy a piece of land. I remember people talking about that, I just want a piece
of land to build on. I wish i'd done that. If you are self sustaining, you would be absolutely negligent to not create in your kids' ability to continue that lifestyle, and in fact, I would beg you to bring others in to teach them how to do it. If you're able to be self sustaining, teaching the next generation of kids to be adults who are self sustaining could be one of the biggest ways to take America back. There are
people fighting in the state of Vermont. A high school suing state officials because they were banned from all athletic and academic events for refusing to allow their girls basketball team to compete against boys. Mid Vermont Christian school says they were barred from all athletic play after forfeiting against a long trail girls' high school team that
had a male on their team. This was on February twenty one. The Christian PK to twelve schools said they were irrepidly harmed by the denied participation and losing out on playing competitive sports as well as academic competitions. This has been filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom. So to be clear, what the State of Vermont is saying is, you don't get to forfeit a single game if
it's for the reason of not having girls compete against boys. Now, if they'd forfeited because let's say half their team was sick, they couldn't make the travel, they didn't think they could win, this wouldn't be an issue. The reason it is an issue, of course, is because in the schooling environment, there can be only one allowable point of view, and that is
that boys are girls, which brings me back to homeschooling or unschooling. When my daughter and I had another unschooling we decided to make it a bit more formal. In unschooling, we undid what was taught in some of the schools. So at the time, the school she was attending was using that insane math system that complicated math to such a wild degree, so we decided to unschool that. We went to the zoo. We simply counted the number of animals. Then we did a little bit of math. Hey, if all
the elephants had two babies, how many babies would exist? If those babies had two babies, how many more elephants would exist now. It gave us an opportunity to begind to that biology. I did a little research and talked about how few babies elephants actually have, how they're a slowly propagating species, which then gave us an opportunity to talk about why do we protect why do
we protect some species different than others because other species produce more easily. That gave us an opportunity in the zoo, in a set where it was more age appropriate, to talk about reproduction and God's plan for that. At that point, we were in fact talking strictly about God's plan, and as we went through the zoo, I asked my daughter to look at some of the commonalities between the animals and us. Some of the things she came up with
was two eyes. We largely walk on feet, except for birds and fish who are different than us. And that took us to one of our favorite locations, which was the Orangutan enclosure. Her years prior, one of the most beautiful things I'd ever had happened in my life happened there. We went to the zoo on a day that was largely empty. It was a wet morning, a cold morning. We were some of the first people there. And I've told the story before, so I won't belabor it. The big
male orangutan took a liking to my daughter. He was alone, he was probably bored, so he got off of his high vine and he came down to the glass. My daughter at that time is probably three or four years old, and he put his hand up against the glass, and my daughter did the same thing. And the orangutang sat there and looked into her eyes and turned his head and examined her and regarded her. And she turned to me and said he likes me, said he's fascinated with you. Maybe he
does like you. So she started to leave. We started to walk away, and the orangutang trailed her, didn't want her to leave, wanted to continue to look at her. Now, I do wonder what the orangutang was thinking. Some of these things are so small. I don't really think it's
that complicated. They can figure out that's our young. They have young So gave us an opportunity in that unschooling setting to talk about what we're told about animals and what she was taught this is years later, about how they were created, that they just evolved that were just like the orangutangs, that we all came from one species. Darwinism. In other words, as we were eating lunch, we thought about all the different forms of animals we've seen.
Yeah, there were commonalities, but we thought then about the differences the structures of our in our skeletal structures, how we eat, how we reproduce, the reptiles and the irachnids, et cetera, the vast differences. It gave me an opportunity to ask her, do you think we all came from one species? But Doutter said, no, of course, that's ridiculous. Well, it was a real life learning example for her to be able to go back into a school environment and to say there's no chance that we came all
from the same species. And as we drove home, we talked about the lack of a record of fossils. There's no transitional fossil record that could prove that that could even indicate that that's even partly true, or suggest that it was. That was another formative learning experience for her, a day at the zoo, and at that point I think she learned more about biology than she did in school. To that point, if you have access to animals,
to time, to vacations, to grandparents. Think of what your grandparents could do your own parents. In regard to teaching your kids in an unschooling setting, better than school, I would think, better than being programmed. There's a lot of reasons to want to avoid the government schools. We'll talk later this week about next Benedict. I think this young woman's name was actually Dagny. The Left is busy telling us that she was beaten to death in the
school. They're blaming, of course, libs of TikTok and Shia for this because at one point Shaia had posted a video about two years ago the sixteen year old girl who identified as quote non binary, which of course means nothing largely beaten to death. I was allegedly beaten to death in a high school bathroom. Now that didn't happen. Oh no, no, no no. There's all sorts of video evidence showing that she wasn't in fact beaten to death
in the high school. But that's not stopping the Left from distributing this information and from merchandising it. In other words, standing on the body of a dead team. How did she die? At the time that I'm recording this that hasn't been revealed. But she was not beaten to death in the high school. There's too much video evidence to the contrary. But that, of
course, is it going to stop attacks on libs of TikTok. Who simply took a video someone posted by their own voluntary efforts onto TikTok Shaia, grabbed it and put it onto Twitter. That's the crime. So the mockingbird media has joined in to this, saying once again reason for libs of TikTok to be shut down. There's the thing about freedom of speech. In all the unschooling my daughter and I did, we talked about speech and things people should
not be allowed to say. She landed pretty squarely on there's not much you shouldn't be allowed to say. We did talk about threats, et cetera, and in our homeschooling experience this was so important to me. We had a conversation with the police officer sitting in a coffee shop just having a cup of
her coco at the time me coffee. Now, it was substandard coffee, as I talk about in the second But when we had that discussion, she had an opportunity to ask this police officer an interesting question, have you ever used your gun? It's a cool question for a six year old girl to ask, have you ever used your gun? And the officer said, oh, yeah, we practiced with their guns. I said, I think she means to arrest somebody. He said, no, no, I've never had
to pull my gun on someone. I've never had to point it someone. And I'm really really glad about that. She said, yeah, smiling. Of course there are people who've had to pull their guns. My friend Tim Krukshank, founder and CEO Bone Frog Coffee, he had to do that. He was a medic with the Seal Teams, or as people in the Navy remind me to say Corman. But this is of course Tim speaking. He likes the phrase medic three deployments on our behalf in his twenty five year Navy
career. Is also a BUDS instructor. Bone Frog Coffee exists partly partly to make more sacred than memories of the fallen Navy Seals. Ten percent of proceeds at bone Frog Coffee go to the Navy Seal Foundation, which helps the family have fallen Navy seals. The brand itself is a recognition what all too many seals have done on our behalb, which is the ultimate ultimate way to show that you love. No greater love has man than to lay down his life
for his family. It would be ridiculous for Tim to do anything other than make the coffee legendary. If you've not yet tried the new blend with which I'm obsessed, goatlocker.

to unprogrammed, to counterprogram the schools. I hope that you're very, very careful about the media that you consume, and I was reminded of this when we did an interview a few weeks ago. Please don't think, please, that your kid not having a phone you gave them doesn't mean that they don't have access to this. Please don't think that. Please know that the world
of media that surrounds your kids is going to get into their hands. Unless you are truly completely isolated, which case your kids don't have access to friends, it's going to get to them. So better that we sit and watch things with our kids, such as this insane interview that Taylor Derenz did with Shia from Lives of TikTok. We've talked about this a couple times this week. It is so utterly important to watch and dissect. After all, Taylor
Tourentz is an educated woman, as you can see here. I'm curious about your reaction. You know, you posted a self fee shortly after people were asking you to address the issue, and you said, you know, to the haters and the losers who are you addressing in that statement anyone who hates me and anyone who's a loser. Okay, why would you choose to post that in response to people asking you to speak about this child's death. It was not a response to that. I guess why would you post that prior
to making any statement about Nex's death? So, just to be clear, you're trying to police me on when I'm allowed to post. I'll I'm just curious. I wanted to post it. I thought it was a cute picture. I justicise post that. How do you feel about Nex's death? It's very tragic, that's horrible. Do you believe Next should have been allowed to receive under affirming care? She should not be allowed to go on irreversible puberty blockers or get sex change surgery. I love that Shi refused to have worse
put in her mouth. Now, the very, very premise of this interview is insane. You're talking about a two year old video that Shia posted that had nothing to do with this death. The girl's own words in the hospital, and we could play these for you talked about a fight in a bathroom between other kids. There was no mention of a libs of TikTok video. In fact, there was no mention of gender. Now, the police officer did the interview. It's twenty one minutes long. You can watch it.
The young lady talked about these other girls making fun of her for how she dressed, so maybe that was gender related, but there was no beating to death in the school. There's another video showing her walking out of the school. She was quite alive when she talked to the police in the hospital.
The premise of this is that taking words someone spoke recorded on video and online and effectively retweeting it, simply taking it off one platform TikTok and put it on another platform Twitter, make shy are responsible for some teenagers who hit this girl. The intellectual gymnastics you would have to do to believe this are backbreaking. But Taylor Lorenz is an important journalist. She works for the Washington Post. In unschooling, you have a chance to sit with kids and go is
shy are responsible in any way for this? Can any blame rest on her shoulders? Why would an important well regarded by some well everyone in Washington, d C. Publication like the Washington Post, why would they even ah an allegation like that the conversation didn't end there, like why you don't speak up about the sexualization of kids. I don't think it's a problem. I don't
see. I guess I don't see as much if I saw an example of a child being sexualized, of course I have a problem with you know, certain things, I will I actually, you know, I will say, do you think we should give kids born in school the images of like gay sex? I so I had public again, I went to public school, and in public school, at least when I was growing up, we were absolutely given literature, you know, explaining sex educating people had pictures of like
anal sex. Oh, absolutely, and it actually talked about condom use what grade God, I mean, I don't remember, but certainly probably middle school. I think that's when we had sex. Said, so you think, like books like gender Prayer, this book is gay, we should give that
to kids in school. I have not read those books, so I don't know, But I do think that it's important to edgya kids about sexuality, if nothing else, Because you know, I have spoken to women that were abused sexually when they were young, very young, and one thing that they've told me is that they wish that they had the language to talk about it, and they weren't educated. They grew up in I only know two that I've spoken to about this, but they've grown up in sort of societies where
they weren't very educated about sex. Said they didn't receive sex sid in class. They went to a Catholic school or other churchs of schooling. And so I do think it's really important for kids to understand sex because, as we all know, a lot of teenagers can be sexually active, and I think sex education is important to promote, you know, healthy attitudes, healthy understandings
of sex. I mean, these are human bodies. You can't just expect to send kids off at eighteen with absolutely no sex head and then things that they can function in the world. So we should give kids like pictures of gay sex in middle school and actually elementary school, some of them. I guess I'm wondering what you consider that. I think you want to see a picture. Well, I don't know, but I mean we're talking about the
ones that you've posted on your Twitter account. I guess those don't look like what I received when I did sex ed. But I think sex is important because it actually helped, so you didn't have those types of things when you were in school. Oh, no, we had sex, said, I'm saying the images I did you when you had sex? Said? In school? Did you not get books with graphic pictures of gay sex? I remember, I don't. I can't. I don't remember how old you are.
But I grew up in the nineties when HIV and age is a big thing, and we certainly learned about gay sex in school. So you so those pictures I posted my Twitter, you had graphics like that? Especially don't know. I haven't. I don't remember, to be honest, but I do think that it's really important to knowing those pictures. You seem to know very well what those pictures are. Do you think that. I don't. I've seen you kept referencing. Well, I've seen you posting, but I don't.
But I think, yeah, I guess I feel because we need to put this into context. Yeah, so she's searching the context supports because we don't know the context of how those things are being taught. So give kids like pictures of gay sex as long as it's in a proper context. I don't know. I mean, it's up to the educator to determine right, I don't know. I don't know. I guess I'm kind of curious, Kaya, why why you sort of focus so much about the lgb You keep
mentioning gay sex, but you don't mention straight sex. Why is there such a focus on the LGBTQ world. I don't have pictures of sex as full any pictures. So she's searching her phone and eventually she comes up with the picture and Sid Lorenz is going to turn and say, well, you're not
a sexologist. Now when we're in the topic of unschooling and we're in the topic that gets uncomfortable, which is around sexuality, this is a fantastic time to learn to turn to the word of God and for age appropriate discussions.
As all these images make the way across the Internet, and of all these activities make their way across the Internet, it's an opportunity for us to talk about how does God view sexuality, how does he well, he've uws it as man and woman in a marital relationship, becoming again one flesh, which gives us the opportunity to to say, do you want to be one flesh with everybody you meet, or do you want to be one flesh with the
person with whom you're going to create children, because this an opportunity to have kids. Really reflect on this. Taylor, Lorenz and Shia had a bit more of a discussion. I'm curious, you know, I feel like there's been especially on my colleagues have done great recording on sort of like this rift on Twitter. I know that you have a very conservative dan base, and in your comments sometimes you'll see a lot of commentary about sort of the great
replacement theory. What are your thoughts on what are your thoughts on that? What are your thoughts on your common The comments on your post telling me to kill myself horrible, Yeah, horrible, obviously against that. Yeah, so when you come out and I'm condemn that publicly, oh, I would condemn at any time. I'm against you know, I'm against murdering anyone of course, So you're against death threats against against me? Yeah, I'm I would. I'm a big you know, as somebody that's felt with a lot of
online harassment. I don't I don't defend threatening to murder anyone, But I guess I'm curious, you know, because a lot of times it comes after an attack from in the media, like something someone like you or another journalist. So are you saying that, like, you know, if somebody posts something and then attacks follow, that person should answer for those attacks. No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that they people like you tell
me that all the time. So I'm just asking if you think the same thing. Yeah, I don't think I have said that here, but I you know, I think the very premise of the interview is that she's saying that. The very premise of the interview was Shai is responsible for the death of a teenager in a school environment where she was supposedly beaten to death, but she wasn't. That's why they sat down. That's the emptiness Taylor Lorenz's
approach and attack against Hia in that setting. Now, that gives us an opportunity, in an unschooling sense, to sit with an older teen to say, how did Chaia do in that interview? What were some of the things she did right? Well, she refused to have words put in her mouth, she clarified and reframed, she wasn't intimidated, and she made Taylor live
with the rules that she's trying to create for others. And Taylor didn't particularly like them, in a world where we have an opportunity to unschool our kids in environments. In business, we've talked about the trades, We've talked about farming, We've talked about teaching at home. If you're in business in the so called thinking class, how is it that it is not also an opportunity
to have your kids involved in that. Get If I could do life again and start all over again, I had involved my daughter an every radio show production I did. She was on the radio with me multiple times. She did a great job back in the day when she was a little less shy, but it would in show prep and selection of audio clips and brought her to work more often. Maybe it be something that she wanted to do one day. Probably not, because she's more of an introvert even than I am,
and I am an introvert. We all have opportunities to teach our kids. I'll never forget this moment because I loved it because of what a parent noticed. My daughter and I were in a store in a hoity toity sicond early fancy area of Seattle. We went there for there was a pottery making opportunity where we made pottery together and then they fired it, or they glazed it. They fired it. We had lunch and then we got to take this thing home and say gift for her mom that we still have that my
daughter made. And as we were paying for some things at the store, I took out a credit card, purchased the items, and then I said to my daughter, what is this? That's a credit card. I think my daughter was five. So when I use this, am I actually paying for this? No? You're borrowing money from who a bank? What happens if I decided to pay it back little by little you pay more? Five or six years old, you can say you programmed your kid. I did.
I programmed my daughter from very early on to understand what this tool is and why we pay it off every month. Standing behind me, there was a woman about my age who said, my gosh, you just gave me hope for the future. Why because your daughter knows these things? At the agent she turned to my daughter and said, you, young lady, are off to a great start. It was an unschooling opportunity that you do have as well all of us do. When I have Zach Abraham on our program
on Fridays, ninety nine percent of Fridays. There's not a time that goes by that I don't learn something particularly about risk management or capital management's animating purpose
is risk management, and they do that by actively managing portfolios. If you've examined the gap between pretend value such as the Tesla name and the actual value such as the elements necessary to make a Tesla, or you've examined some of these like this chip company and Nvidia that is going up by fifty billion dollars a day. That company is now valued at two trillion dollars. It makes one product line, chips. It's in Taiwan, right next door to China,
and China is making plans to seize Taiwan. It's in an industry where disruption is not an occasional happening, it's the norm. Nancy Pelosi's husband is made like one point two million bucks a day on this because other people are buying. There's no real value there. At a fifty billion dollar growth rate per day, all of it's per ten I get it. I have friends who are still rolling the dice buying more Nvidia. My point is this,
that's not risk management. At least you're purchasing that by choice. If your retirement portfolio uses any ETFs, Congratulations, you're not diversified. What do I mean about forty percent of your money is going to five companies also in the tech sector, also with the same risks. That's not risk management. If you're five to ten, or even fifteen years away from retirement, you can't handle risks like that, or you shouldn't. My suggestion is to simply figure
out what this means. Here's how. Go to Know Your Risk radio dot com and ask for a free copy of Borot Capital Management's Common Sense Investing Guide. It will talk with you about how they do risk management, how active management and portfolios can actually reduce risk and volatility. Having read that, you may be able to go out and do this on your own, Although I caution you to think, is this really the time for on the job training?
I don't think so. Go to Know your Risk radio dot com and ask for a copy of their Common Sense Investing Guide, which is free to you.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There's been huge victories. Some schools are now banning the perverse pornographic
sex ad. Some state governors are doing this. This will not come full circle into full victory until tax dollars are utterly divorced from schools that we can take them wherever they want, wherever we choose. In other words, until schools are put on equal footing while the government schools still have monopoly access to our money, we're going to still be in the same position. Still, there's been victories, right, there's been court rulings that have banns affirmative action.
And yet what are the universities doing. They're simply finding new ways to do this. There's been talk that some colleges have done away with their diversion or their Depression, Exclusion and Insanity DEI. Well that's not really happened. There's been University of Texas has said we're doing away with our DEI, but
no, according to Claire Institute, that didn't happen. They rebranded its diversity bureaucracy from Division of Diversity and Community Engagement to the Division of Campus and Community Engagement. It still has most of its DEI strategic plans in place. Four out of twelve college level DEI administrators at Texas A and M have merely received
new titles but have kept their DEI emphasis. Those numbers are out of five out of nine at UT, two out of three at Texas Tech, and two out of two at Houston. So they're simply changing the names of these things. It's happening at other schools as well. They've all pretended to ban DEI, but they're just remaining it. You can read the report in the show notes. It goes through all of the universities. Unschooling goes right down to even simple things like watching the TV. I would love, with our
video of the day to be able to sit with my daughter. She's too old now for this to be fun, but when she was a kid, she once made news. I want to talk about unschooling when I come back from the Republican National Committee. Actually was a no. I don't think it. I'd know. I'd recently resigned as the chief Digital strategis at the R and C. She and I watched the Republican debates together and I tweeted her words when nuke Gingridge came out. My daughter said, he uses big words
to sound important. I tweeted that Mitt Romney speaking, my daughter said he wants to be president really bad. This all got on Fox News as they were saying, the daughter of the chief digital strategist of the R and C just resigned, is watching the debates with him. I still have screen grabs of that up to see if I can find him. I know my daughter has him in whatever her memory books, so I'd love to watch this with
her. In the video of the day, if you're not on the video service, I'll try to do what I can to translate this, but this is worth watching. Lizzie Warren continues to attack private jet ownership, but in the video of the Day, as you can see, Lizzie Warren still flies in private jets. Watch what she does to try to hide. There's the jet, little mini jet, people walking off staffers, presumably there's Lizzie Warren step it off of her private jet smiling. There's a camera looking at me.
Does she not make one sick? Gets one shot of her? One shot side, Oh, Lizzie, she turns her face away from the camera. People hide what they're ashamed of, they don't hide what they're proud of. Lizzie Warren knows she's a liar. She knows she's a game player. In an unschooling sense, we could simply say, why do you think that lady's hiding behind her staff? Unschooling is one way that could save America, particularly if that unschooling is grounded in the word of God. This is the
