Speaker 1 (00:02):
Warning the following podcast might be too truthful for most liberals.
Listener discretion is therefore advised.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to the Tea Party Power Hour. My name is
Mark gallar Our. Very special guest today from Oklahoma is
Ryan Walters. He is the state superintendent of Education. He
has previously served as the state's education secretary. Before then,
(00:37):
he was the CEO of Every Kid Counts. He's a husband,
he's a father, and he's been fighting for excellence in
education for a long long time. Ryan, Welcome back to
the show.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hi, I sure appreciate you having me on today.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know you're here officially to talk about the DNC
and their five main policy talking points, but there has
been some noise coming out of Oklahoma where it looks
like a handful of rhinos have decided to come after you.
And as I said off air, I don't know if
they couldn't find t shirts that say I'm a Rhino.
I don't know if they want sexual grooming in kindergarten classes.
(01:16):
I don't know if they think it's okay for young
children to cut off their body parts and pretend they're
the opposite gender. I don't know what their issue is.
Maybe you can tell us. But why, why of all
people are some Republicans coming after you?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah? Well, you know what we've got here in the
Coloma's situation where we've got two in particular our speaker
and our Appropriations chair here that have decided that they're
going to align with the teachers Union and really try
to undermine our agenda here. And you know, the appropriation
share in Oklahoma of education. He's a guy that he's
a teachers Union Legislator of the Year. Multiple times he
(01:54):
gets to tens of thousands of dollars from him. I mean,
he has just been bought and paid for by the
teachers Union. And so that's why I just keep pushing
back on me. Guys. I am clearly an issue in
the agenda the people of Oklahoma. I'm not going to
be bought and paid for a co opted by special
interest the way that the you know, appropriations chair here has.
And that's where I'm just going to continue to keep
(02:16):
and prove in our education system. And frankly, here in
Oklahoma we're leading the country in education reform. And how
many times do you see this in DC too? We've
got some Republicans to get in bed with special interest
and then you go, what the world are you doing? Guys?
I get it's pretty clear what the electorate wants to
see here. But yeah, at the same time, you know,
we shouldn't be surprised that, you know, in government, you
get these politicians that are that are you know, want
(02:38):
to go around with special interests, and it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It very much as I was talking to a friend
of yours the other day and we were both discussing
the fact that Trump has said he's going to get
rid of the Department of Education, but obviously he won't
be able to do that right away, and if he
needs help, I think dismantling that monstrosity. You'd be a
good person to pick for that position. How would you
feel about that? If Trump asked you to take on
(03:03):
the Secretary of Education role and do for the America
what you've done for Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, look, you know I'd be honored. You know, help
the president anyway I can. And you know, I think
he's got the exact right vision here. You've got to
abolish that Department of Education and then you've got to
return that power to the States. And the other thing,
President Trump. The other two things he's talked about is too,
is making sure that this anti American curriculum is out
of our schools. We cannot continue to teach kids to
hate this country and expect to have this great country continues.
(03:32):
And the last thing that I've been so impressed with
is President Trump talking about passing nationally what we passed
her in Oklahoma, which is a universal tax credit for
kids to choose, our parents to choose the school of
choice for their kids. I think we should have it nationwide.
Let kids in blue states get out of these left
wing public schools that they're Blue states have pushed on
to them and let them go to other options. Let
(03:55):
them find the best school that meets their needs. I
think it would be incredible nationwide.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh yeah, let's apply the free market to education as well.
Make the schools compete against each other. I think that'd
be fantastic. You'd get anytime there's competition, you get better
quality across the board. I mean, if one school gets
a reputation for nobody graduating or nobody going on to college,
while another school gets a reputation for most of their
(04:23):
kids getting accepted to major universities, I mean, you know
where parents are going to want to send their kids.
It's a win win situation. But then again, you wouldn't
have the teachers' unions in control. You would not have
you would not have a leftist indoctrination happening because nobody
would want to send their kids to schools for that.
(04:44):
So anyway, that's the only reason we don't have that
across America. Right now, I think, well, let's get let's
get into the DNC. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't
watch a lot of it. I have trouble stomaching that
kind of crap. I frankly, I did see some snippets
from it online. I saw some lady that kept flicking
her tongue like a snake.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I don't know what that was all about.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't know if you saw that or not, but
that was really weird. I think half the people on
that side are possessed anyway. So first of all, let's
talk about what they want to do for the economy,
you know, price fixing and that type thing. Twenty five
thousand dollars for people to buy houses, which just means
the builders and the realtors are going to raise the
(05:27):
price by twenty five thousand but anyway, talk to us
about their economic policy that they put forward.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
To Yeah, they're going to destroy this country with their
economic policy. I mean the reality is, as you continue
to punish folks by raising their taxes, you're going to
get less outputs. It's playing simple. So the more that
they continue and the unrealized assets are unrealized gains tax unbelievable.
(05:55):
I mean they are going to go, look, you know, well,
we taxed you when you die, we tax you when
you're in comes in, we taxed you when you spend it.
But then we're going to tax you just if if
you don't have unrealized gains as you grow a business
or a company or where. And again, what do we want.
We want more folks earning more money. We want more
of an investment in the economy by people starting small businesses.
(06:17):
And what you continue to see the Democrats push it's
a socialist agenda. Listen. I will give them credit. They
went out and they did show you who they are.
They picked the furthest left senator in Congress, and they
picked the furthest left wing governor in the country and
said that's articular, Like I do appreciate the honesty right,
It's like we are all in on a very Marxist agenda.
(06:39):
I mean, you look at Tim Waltz and his education
agenda is unbelievable, watch and cheered on as Minneapolis was
burned down with the BLM riots. I mean that these
are folks that they are telling us who they are.
Americans have to listen, and folks and the conservatives you've
got to call friends and neighbors. You've got to make
sure everyone understands and doesn't listen as propaganda in the
media somehow is trying to rebrand Kamala Harris, as you know,
(07:03):
as someone who wasn't over the border, someone who wasn't
pushing the most radical agenda in the US innate. We
have to make sure that everyone gets out of the
vote to make sure we get President Trump back in
the light house.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We certainly do.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And did you catch the line about Waltz's wife who
left her windows open in the morning when she because
when she woke up, she wanted to smell the smell
of burning tires because she said it was such a
quote unquote touchstone moment. What kind of a sicko likes
the smell of burning tires likes the smell of revolution.
(07:36):
I mean, I'm sorry, that's just weird. That's strange. I
don't get.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It, it is, and I mean, and for that to happen,
you know, and again you look at you know, we're
a country of law and order. You know, you can't
allow folks that you know invested all that they did
in a small business downtown to be burned and looted
and destroyed and go, oh, that's just you know, this
happens sometimes. No, it should not happen, man. And that's
where you know, your guff are supposed to be holding
the line on that to go listen, you know, we
(08:03):
can deal with issues in society, and that's what that's
what you have these processes for. Let me tell you something.
You're not going to go out and burn your neighbor's business.
You are not going to do that. You are not
going to go out and target other people because you
don't like something in society. That is not what we're
going to do here in this country or in this
in our state. But instead, you see what happens when
you have a governor that says, yeah, you know, hey,
if it causes more pain to the other side of things,
(08:26):
you know, so let's just let's just have at it.
And it is a terrible thing to live through for
the people in Minneapolis that have to do that. But again,
the Democrats elevate this guy to be in the VP.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Pick a very strange guy.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I mean, some of the videos I've seen of him,
his antics, the way he runs around dancing, pointing his
finger backwards over his shoulder. I don't know what he's doing.
I don't know what this guy's about. He acts like
he's on some kind of a children's show or something.
And as for his wife, I guess it never occurred
to her that that burning smell in the morning meant
that honest, hard working, everyday citizens were losing their businesses
(09:03):
because of these riots.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So didn't That didn't impact.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Her at all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You know, when you look at liberals, most of them
are godless, and where that void is within their souls
where they should be worshiping God, they have to fill
that with something. So they fill it with They fight
for abortion, with the the green climate change nonsense, their
hatred of Donald Trump. And I know, of course, I
(09:32):
know enough about what happened to DNC to know that
abortion rights were on full display. Talk to me about
that the leftist belief in abortion and what they want.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
In the way of abortion.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, you know, I think it's interesting because you know,
I've had some discussions with folks where I say, listen,
it's not a coincidence that all the Democrat platforms and
position end up destroying the family. I mean, you know,
it's almost like they want to explain it to you
in this way. It's like, yeah, you know, we like
abortions because women's are to choose, and you know, we
(10:04):
want to push Christian New Religion out of out of
public square because you know, separation church and state, which
isn't true, bully, But and then we want to push
you know, transgenders among your kids because we're trying to
be inclusive. Look, all of those things break down the
family unit. And this is what the left worships wocism,
and wocism is a mind virus. It has no logical sense.
(10:26):
You look at these things that they're doing and you
go everything you're talking about damage of society, It damages families,
it damages the quality of life of the people that's
been pushed upon. But they don't care because these are
cult like beliefs. When you talk about wocism that again,
it hurts the people involved. It actually does damage to them,
(10:46):
and you can't logic your way through it because it
isn't logical. It is a mind virus. And as you
continue to see the left bow the need to the
furthest left fringe of their base, they can continue to
just become so radicalized that what you're saying is I
mean the destruction they're creating on society. It has gone
(11:08):
into rapid speed the last few years because of the
absurdity of their radical agenda.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They do have a very radical agenda. You know.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was a drug rep in another life for over
twenty two years, and we had a local doctor that
was also on the board of Planned Parenthood, and she
was so she was woke before woke was a thing.
And when she would go through our local hospital, her
(11:38):
nurses tell me that all the televisions were set on
Fox News, and she bought some kind of a little
channel changer and would go through the hospital. I'm sorry,
the televisions of the hospital were set on CNN. I'm
sorry they were set on Fox and she would go
through and change them all to CNN, and her office
(11:59):
waiting was filled with you know, left wing magazines and
so forth. And it infuriated her that another local doctor
that I also knew, when somebody would come into her
and say I want an abortion, she would say, okay,
but I want to show you what you're aborting, and
you're this far along and here's a picture of what
your baby would look like right now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And a lot of times they'd see how far along
it was, they'd go, no, no, I don't want to
do that. And the pro abortion doctor who sat on
the planned parent a board was furious that this other
female doctor was doing doing that and was talking about
how unprofessional it was and everything else. And I was,
you know, I was thinking to myself, Yeah, the last
(12:42):
thing we want is for a pregnant mother to make
an informed decision. That's that's the last thing we would want.
So these these people, they're part of a cult. They
are I mean, again, I don't even know if woke
does it justice. I mean, they live in an upside
down world. Ryan, you know where it's okay to kill
a baby in a botched abortion, you know, right, And
(13:03):
it's okay to kill a baby right up in two
until birth. They believe that young five year olds that
are just learning their ABC's are somehow mentally equipped to
decide what gender they want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I mean, you've got.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Kids, you know who can't buy a gun, can't drive
a car, can't apply for a credit card, can't do
anything because of their age. But the left thinks they're
old enough to decide their gender when they're very, very young.
And then you go to when we look for our future,
we look to Canada in the UK, where parents are
(13:37):
having their kids taken away from them because they refuse
to use the right pronoun with them and stuff. So
when I look at the left, and tell me what
you think. But when I look at the left right now,
especially all this woke is them, I see an upside
down world where you know, east is west, west is east,
up is down, down is up. Nothing makes any sense.
It's all a huge violation of common sense.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's right. And that's why you know, when we've had
this battle against the woke left in our school districts,
you know, you look at this and you go, Okay,
they don't want your kids to know history because that
would actually create critical thinkers out of them, where they go,
hold on a second, and this always derives me nuts.
Why isn't the Constitution, the federalist papers, the anti federalist papers,
(14:25):
the Declaration of Independence? Why aren't kids actually reading those documents?
We'll tell you why. If you actually allowed kids to
read those things. It's very hard to indoctrinate them, isn't it.
Our rights come from our and I'll go our creator. Well,
how do you get around that? You know? What would
they tell you that? You know that there was no
that it was so secular, there was no faith that go, well,
hold on a second, why would they say it that way?
(14:46):
What do they mean by that?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Again, that is the ultimate stopgap against a dictatorship, and
this over powerful government is the understanding that no, no, no,
even in an election, you could have liked somebody, but
they can't go take your rights away. That God gives
you those rights, not that the person elected. So even
though we have elections, their rights that you're given. That's
(15:08):
a fundamental shift in world history. But you know, they
don't want your kids to be able to fully understand that,
because they want to be able to take your rights
away when they feel like it. You see that time
and time again, so there is an intentional way of
keeping the next generation ignorant so that they can continue
to push their agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I had a I had an attorney on the show
that was part and parcel of impeaching Bill Clinton, and
he said that I would be surprised at how many
attorneys actually think the words separation of church and state
are in our constitution. They do not realize that was
in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Dansbury Church.
(15:46):
They actually think it's in there, and so it's really sad.
And not only that, I told him, I said, it
must drive you crazy when people say, boy, Clinton was
lucky he didn't get impeached, because most people think impeached
means that you're actually removed from office. They don't understand
that's just an indictment by the House of Representatives. And
he said, Mark, there are attorneys that I deal with
(16:10):
who have no idea what the word impeached means. So
that's the point where we've got professionals. We have people
that are licensed attorneys who think the separation of church
of state at church and state is in the Constitution,
and they think that impeach means that you've kicked somebody
out of office. I mean, it's amazing the lack of education.
And I want to pick up on this with you
when we get back. We have to take a quick
(16:31):
break to do a little business with America, and we
shall return with Ryan Walters, the superintendent of Education in Oklahoma.
(16:59):
And we are back with the Tea Party Power Hour
and our special guests from Oklahoma, mister Ryan Walters, Ryan
Kamala Harris has a somewhat small cable to tightrope on
with the whole issue of Hamas versus Israel. What was
brought forth?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Did they pretend that they were all for Israel at
the DNC.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Hey, look, I mean you've seen this with the Democrat Party.
Is they are going to be pro Palestine. They are
going to continue to support Hamas. And it is unbelievable
and unconscionable for what we've seen on college campuses and
the attacks on our Jewish neighbors and Jewish friends. But
the reality is the Democrats have foement to this. They
(17:45):
have foemen to anti Semitism. They have foemen of this
anti Israel because of course they're anti American, so of
course they're anti Israel as well. And you continue to
see this be a push in the Democrat Party, and
it's really sad. I was talking to a friend just
a few weeks ago about concerns of whether his son
should go to a certain university because they're Jewish and
(18:08):
literally concerned for physical danger, and you just go, boy,
I'm telling you, history sure can repeat itself, can it.
I mean, you talk about if you allow this anti
Semitism to be foemented in society, all of a sudden,
it turns into violence. It's absolutely absurd, and we've got
to continue to push back on this radicalism of the
left that is so anti American, they're actually anti jew,
(18:30):
anti Israel as well.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I was speaking to a young liberal woman shortly after
October seventh, and her only concern at that point was
that Israel was going to retaliate and there may not
be a gaza at some point in the future. There
was absolutely not one bit of concern or sympathy for
(18:56):
the twelve hundred Jewish people that lost their lives that day,
Innocent women and children being beheaded, being blown apart by
hand grenades, no concern whatsoever. And it's just like any
of these liberals, if you ask them you know, well,
why are you so pro Hamas or pro gaza, or
why do you believe in climate change? Or why do
you think drag queens should be allowed to go into
(19:18):
kindergarten classrooms? They really don't have an answer. It's just
how you know that crap has been inculcated with them
since kindergarten and they really can't explain it. I may
have told you this the last time you were here.
I have this thing I do sometimes I call the
carte blanche test or the white piece of paper test,
and I'll ask a liberal, why do you believe in
(19:38):
climate change? I'm open to being having my mind to change.
If you come up with some good stuff, I may
join you. Put it down and let me look at
the facts. They can't write anything. It's like, oh, I'm
not really very good at that. I just know everybody
believes it, so it's got to be true. So all right,
oh okay, but that's just it with these people. It's
absolutely weird. And you know, they can put on as
much show as they want at the DNC, but we
(20:00):
all know the Democrat Party is not the party.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
That supports Israel.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
If it were, you wouldn't have people like ilhan Omar
or was her name, Talib Brushidi or whatever, and you've
got I mean, you have openly anti Semitic people in
Congress representing the Democrat Party, and they don't do a
thing about it. I mean, if somebody in the Republican
(20:28):
Party came out and said something very racist, they'd be
gone the next day. But a member of the Democrat
Party can put out anti Semitic crap all day long,
and the Democrats are like, what what do you mean?
I don't get it, anti Semitic? What are you talking about?
So I don't This is kind of this is kind
of interesting. They're almost kind of being eaten by their
own because while the DNC was going on outside, there
(20:50):
were all these pro Hamas demonstrators tearing up the streets.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And you know, I think that's It's like we said earlier,
it's not a coincidence. It's not a coincidence that all
their positions happened to be against the state of Israel.
It's not a coincidence that all their positions happen to
be anti Asemitic. It's like, guys, look, that's their position,
that's what they believe, that their policies aren't accident, it's
actually their agenda. And so this is where you know,
(21:18):
the country. Look the mainstream media, it is sickening to
watch them perpetuate the lies about Kamala Harris and try
to rebrand her and hide her. And I mean, and
it's just amazing to me that the press continues to
allow her to escape by without any tough questions, on
any tough interviews. And this is what's really sad, is
I remember you saw a lot of this back with
(21:39):
President Obama, where you know, the guy would give a
speech and he goes that kind of you know, I mean,
he didn't really say anything, you know what I mean,
He said to hope and change and then give me any detail.
And then you magically go forward and go, hold on, I say,
are people buying this? It's code the same thing that
they're trying to do with Kamala Harris. It's like you
listen to her and go, she didn't say anything and
just raves. Yeah, they just nuts over it. And you know,
(22:02):
this is where we have got to continue to push
to get our neighbors out.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Look, I've been talking a churches. You got to get
out the vote. You got to be talking to your
members to go go mobilize in this election, because this
is one of those that you've seen how radical radically
the country has shifted. If you give Kamala Harris four
years in the Whitehouse, there is no telling what the
country will look like.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Well, you know, and the thing is, I kind of
understand what the churches because Reverend Farakahn can tell or
Reverend Sharpton can tell a congregation to go out and vote,
and he'll even tell them who to vote for, and
Republicans don't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But there was a Catholic priest at.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
One point who said to his congregation, his parishioners, when
you go to.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Vote, please remember the abortion issue.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
And the government, some Democrats came after him trying to
take away the tax tax free exemption you know, on
his church. So it's like their side is willing to act,
even to have the bad optics of going after a priest,
but our side won't do that to Reverend Sharpton or
Reverend Farakhan or reverend whomever. So it's like they play,
(23:16):
you know, we're playing with slingshots and they're using AK
forty seven's.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like the fight.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
The fight isn't even if you will, because they'll do
anything and they don't care. I mean we saw that
with the law fair prosecution and persecution of President Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing to me. The Democrats will
do anything to advance surgeon that they arrest their political opponents. Yep,
they fonemnted the rage and you had folks out trying
to assassinate President Trump. I'm seeing these threats that are
out there right now on and too. That's how far
they are willing to go. And on our side, you know,
we'll want an election to go well, I don't you know,
(23:53):
I don't know if we want to do that. You know,
I don't know if we want to actually do we
really want to push back on the woke agenda or
do we just want to say please stop and we'll
just move forward, you know. And it's like, and we
started this call off with you talking about Look, I've
been criticized by some Republicans. I walked in office and
fired one hundred and thirty people. I was like, I'm
not going to sit here and allow a bunch of
Democrats to undermine the will of the people of Oklahoma.
(24:15):
I have Republicans go, well, you can't fire people. I mean,
you know, you just got to work inside the confines
of the bureaucracy you've been given. I'm like, that's a
load of garbage. You're not going to be able to
find one hundred Republican voters out there that would say
that right to think I go out there and go, yeah,
we really we voted for you over a Democrat. A
Democrat was running at that bureaucracy, and we don't want
you to fire anybody like that doesn't make any sense.
(24:37):
But he do you think the Democrats would wait one
second to move into office and put their people in place. Absolutely,
they wouldn't. They would move in a heartbeat. But you
know that's where we have to continue as Republicans. You
win an election, go do the things you were elected
to do. Move, enact the policies. Our policies work because
(24:58):
they're based in truth and historical context. Right, we understand,
we've seen throughout history our principles worked. They move the
needle for society. We have got to get at these
policies instituted. Then you let people live in those policies,
and then they can look at what's having to Florida,
Look at many people have gone from Democratic Republicans to
say to Florida live. Governor Sanus came in, moved an
agenda forward and if people go, holy coow, this really worked. Well,
(25:20):
life's better than it was four years ago. I don't
want to join the Republican Party. I mean that that
is a great indicator of what happens when he institute
good policy.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Absolutely, I mean, and again I'm shocked that you have
any Republicans coming after you in Oklahoma. But then again,
like you said, they're bought and paid for by the
teachers' unions. So now now it all makes sense. I mean,
a simple answer, but it covers it. They talked, you know,
one of the things I wanted to talk to you
about is how the Democrat Party is actually just become
(25:51):
the anti Trump party. I mean, I think I think
when Trump finally gets out of politics, they're not going
to have anything to talk about.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Do you want to discuss that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Absolutely. I will say this, you know, President Trump, I
think it's so important for everybody to see that they
do that. The hatred they have a President Trump is unbelievable,
but it is truly a hatred for the American people.
They hate him because he's standing in their way. He
is so pro America, so pro putting America first, such
a defender of traditional conservative American values. They have to
(26:23):
destroy him. The radical left does, and it is a
pure attempt to get to you, the conservative traditional American.
They want you. They want to put you on trial,
they want to put you in prison, They want to
attack you, like the attack President Trump. He is the
man standing in the way. And I appreciate so much
the stands he has taken so that we can all
(26:44):
still live in a free country. But I'm telling you,
if we don't get him back in the White House,
there is not someone standing between those type of attacks
and all of us.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
No, I would agree with you.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And one of the things that people forget is that
it wasn't just an attack against If you look at
what happened to the Trump appointees in the White House,
so many of them had their security clearances revoked. At
a gentleman on the other day that was discussing this.
Whenever the Republicans are in charge and a Republican president
gets to pick some political appointees to go into an
(27:19):
office with him, there is an there's an all out
war between the entrenched liberal Democrats, the entrenched bureaucrats who
are there forever and who are like ninety seven percent Democrat,
and the Republican appointees named.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
By the President.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
They will do anything to undercut these people, to destroy them,
to get them fired, to bring false charges against them.
This wasn't just going on as a persecution against Trump,
but this was going on against a lot of his appointees.
Some of them still have litigation on going from the
Trump term. So it's a war against all of us.
(28:02):
It's a war against everybody in Washington who is an
appointee of the president. I mean, there is an ongoing
day to day battle going on between you know, left
and right, but more importantly between good and evil. I mean,
this is just a battle between good and evil being
fought on our plane. And I have no problem saying
(28:22):
that the Democrats to me seem like possessed individuals, not
just because of the lady flicking or lizard or snake tongue,
but because of the things they do. I mean, if
you read Marxist Marxism, you're going to see they openly
admit they have to get rid of the core family unit.
We have to get rid of belief in God. You know,
(28:45):
we have to destroy the family. And that's what they're doing.
I mean, you said earlier that it's no accident that
all their policies are anti family. Well, they've got to
get rid of the family because the two pieces of
foundation that we all cling to in life our family
and God. And in order to throw all that away
(29:06):
and go over to some sick, woke belief, they have
to get rid of the family. They have to get
rid of belief in God, and they openly do that.
I mean, do you remember Ryan during the pandemic cow
You know, you could have riots in the streets where
people were all packed together, but they wouldn't let Christians
go to services in their cars in the parking lot
(29:27):
and stay in their individual cars. But you could go
riot on the streets and get as close to someone
as you want. I mean, that's not an accident. That's
just anti Christian behavior. So anyway, I'll get a bless
I'm supposed to be interviewing you, and I went off
on a tangent, so I apologize. Talk to me about
climate change. That's another thing they used to fill that
void that's left from where they should have a belief
(29:52):
in God.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's just the continued lies and reliance on government. Everything
they have. They want to grow government. You're ever going
to control more of your life, and they will use
any and all means necessary to do so. And you
see that with climate change, and there is another weapons
that they can use to say, yeah, give us more power,
give us more power, and we'll continue to trample your
individual liberty.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When I started this show fourteen years ago, it was
actually called Global Cooling Radio for a while, So I
brought in all the climate scientists who were realists, who
were telling the truth, who were pain in al Gore's side,
and that's what we talked about. So there's kind of
a special place in my heart for the climate change thing.
But I personally think, and tell me what you think
about this, Ryan, I think the purpose of climate change
(30:37):
was to give the un power and to sort of
develop this skeletal frame where the un is can control
people by doing it in the name of climate change.
And once you had that skeletal frame in place, they
were going to start putting more and more meat and
muscle on that skeleton. So eventually we were all part
of a one world government answering to the UN. I
(31:00):
think it was just the first step. And in fact,
there were climate climate supporters or climate change supporters advocates
I call them alarmist who openly said years ago that well,
this really isn't about climate, it's about global governance. I
think the President of France actually said that. So, I mean,
(31:22):
we look at it and they go, oh, you know,
it's just some people wanting to be supportive of the environment.
There are just some people who you know, who want
us to have clean air and water and no temperature
changes whatsoever. But in reality, there's a there's a much
bigger picture, and it involves Marxism.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
That's right, that's always the goal, and that's where it
all feeds back into. And that's where it's so crucial
that we're able to win this election this fall, and
you've got to get the present Trump back in the
White House to stop this agenda.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, well, tell me, how are you doing in Oklahoma?
Are you going to be able to fend off these
ridiculous challenges?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. The people of Oklahoma are just
livid at these attacks on me by a couple of
rhinos up here, and so we're going to continue to
fly back and we're going to continue to institute the
agenda of the people of Oklahoma, which is a conservative agenda,
and we're going to continue to lead the country and
education reform up here.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, Ryan, I hope you'll keep coming back to visit
with us, because I kind of have my eye on
you as someone who's rising star in the Republican Party,
and I think you.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Are ready for prime time. You are ready for that
next jump.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And I hope President Trump, you know, God willing that
he's elected, does take a serious look at you for
some position, because you've certainly shown yourself to be someone
who doesn't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.
And we need more people likes that, More people who
aren't afraid to be attacked by Democrats, more people who
aren't afraid to be attacked by the media, and people
(32:50):
that will just stand up for what's true and right.
I mean, you think there'd be a lot of people
like that, but there aren't. So we need more people
like you. And I, like I said, We're going to
keep on your career because I see it going nowhere
but up.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Well, I sure, appreciate that and I'm happy to be on.
I appreciate the work you're doing. I'd love to come
back anytime. Thank you for having me on today.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
All right, have a great day, yes sir, so yeah,
you've
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Been listening to The Tea Party Power Hour with Mark
gla
Warning the following podcast might be too truthful for most liberals.
Listener discretion is therefore advised.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Welcome to the Tea Party Power Hour. My name is
Mark gallar Our. Very special guest today from Oklahoma is
Ryan Walters. He is the state superintendent of Education. He
has previously served as the state's education secretary. Before then,
(00:37):
he was the CEO of Every Kid Counts. He's a husband,
he's a father, and he's been fighting for excellence in
education for a long long time. Ryan, Welcome back to
the show.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hi, I sure appreciate you having me on today.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I know you're here officially to talk about the DNC
and their five main policy talking points, but there has
been some noise coming out of Oklahoma where it looks
like a handful of rhinos have decided to come after you.
And as I said off air, I don't know if
they couldn't find t shirts that say I'm a Rhino.
I don't know if they want sexual grooming in kindergarten classes.
(01:16):
I don't know if they think it's okay for young
children to cut off their body parts and pretend they're
the opposite gender. I don't know what their issue is.
Maybe you can tell us. But why, why of all
people are some Republicans coming after you?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah? Well, you know what we've got here in the
Coloma's situation where we've got two in particular our speaker
and our Appropriations chair here that have decided that they're
going to align with the teachers Union and really try
to undermine our agenda here. And you know, the appropriation
share in Oklahoma of education. He's a guy that he's
a teachers Union Legislator of the Year. Multiple times he
(01:54):
gets to tens of thousands of dollars from him. I mean,
he has just been bought and paid for by the
teachers Union. And so that's why I just keep pushing
back on me. Guys. I am clearly an issue in
the agenda the people of Oklahoma. I'm not going to
be bought and paid for a co opted by special
interest the way that the you know, appropriations chair here has.
And that's where I'm just going to continue to keep
(02:16):
and prove in our education system. And frankly, here in
Oklahoma we're leading the country in education reform. And how
many times do you see this in DC too? We've
got some Republicans to get in bed with special interest
and then you go, what the world are you doing? Guys?
I get it's pretty clear what the electorate wants to
see here. But yeah, at the same time, you know,
we shouldn't be surprised that, you know, in government, you
get these politicians that are that are you know, want
(02:38):
to go around with special interests, and it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It very much as I was talking to a friend
of yours the other day and we were both discussing
the fact that Trump has said he's going to get
rid of the Department of Education, but obviously he won't
be able to do that right away, and if he
needs help, I think dismantling that monstrosity. You'd be a
good person to pick for that position. How would you
feel about that? If Trump asked you to take on
(03:03):
the Secretary of Education role and do for the America
what you've done for Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, look, you know I'd be honored. You know, help
the president anyway I can. And you know, I think
he's got the exact right vision here. You've got to
abolish that Department of Education and then you've got to
return that power to the States. And the other thing,
President Trump. The other two things he's talked about is too,
is making sure that this anti American curriculum is out
of our schools. We cannot continue to teach kids to
hate this country and expect to have this great country continues.
(03:32):
And the last thing that I've been so impressed with
is President Trump talking about passing nationally what we passed
her in Oklahoma, which is a universal tax credit for
kids to choose, our parents to choose the school of
choice for their kids. I think we should have it nationwide.
Let kids in blue states get out of these left
wing public schools that they're Blue states have pushed on
to them and let them go to other options. Let
(03:55):
them find the best school that meets their needs. I
think it would be incredible nationwide.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh yeah, let's apply the free market to education as well.
Make the schools compete against each other. I think that'd
be fantastic. You'd get anytime there's competition, you get better
quality across the board. I mean, if one school gets
a reputation for nobody graduating or nobody going on to college,
while another school gets a reputation for most of their
(04:23):
kids getting accepted to major universities, I mean, you know
where parents are going to want to send their kids.
It's a win win situation. But then again, you wouldn't
have the teachers' unions in control. You would not have
you would not have a leftist indoctrination happening because nobody
would want to send their kids to schools for that.
(04:44):
So anyway, that's the only reason we don't have that
across America. Right now, I think, well, let's get let's
get into the DNC. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't
watch a lot of it. I have trouble stomaching that
kind of crap. I frankly, I did see some snippets
from it online. I saw some lady that kept flicking
her tongue like a snake.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I don't know what that was all about.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't know if you saw that or not, but
that was really weird. I think half the people on
that side are possessed anyway. So first of all, let's
talk about what they want to do for the economy,
you know, price fixing and that type thing. Twenty five
thousand dollars for people to buy houses, which just means
the builders and the realtors are going to raise the
(05:27):
price by twenty five thousand but anyway, talk to us
about their economic policy that they put forward.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
To Yeah, they're going to destroy this country with their
economic policy. I mean the reality is, as you continue
to punish folks by raising their taxes, you're going to
get less outputs. It's playing simple. So the more that
they continue and the unrealized assets are unrealized gains tax unbelievable.
(05:55):
I mean they are going to go, look, you know, well,
we taxed you when you die, we tax you when
you're in comes in, we taxed you when you spend it.
But then we're going to tax you just if if
you don't have unrealized gains as you grow a business
or a company or where. And again, what do we want.
We want more folks earning more money. We want more
of an investment in the economy by people starting small businesses.
(06:17):
And what you continue to see the Democrats push it's
a socialist agenda. Listen. I will give them credit. They
went out and they did show you who they are.
They picked the furthest left senator in Congress, and they
picked the furthest left wing governor in the country and
said that's articular, Like I do appreciate the honesty right,
It's like we are all in on a very Marxist agenda.
(06:39):
I mean, you look at Tim Waltz and his education
agenda is unbelievable, watch and cheered on as Minneapolis was
burned down with the BLM riots. I mean that these
are folks that they are telling us who they are.
Americans have to listen, and folks and the conservatives you've
got to call friends and neighbors. You've got to make
sure everyone understands and doesn't listen as propaganda in the
media somehow is trying to rebrand Kamala Harris, as you know,
(07:03):
as someone who wasn't over the border, someone who wasn't
pushing the most radical agenda in the US innate. We
have to make sure that everyone gets out of the
vote to make sure we get President Trump back in
the light house.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
We certainly do.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
And did you catch the line about Waltz's wife who
left her windows open in the morning when she because
when she woke up, she wanted to smell the smell
of burning tires because she said it was such a
quote unquote touchstone moment. What kind of a sicko likes
the smell of burning tires likes the smell of revolution.
(07:36):
I mean, I'm sorry, that's just weird. That's strange. I
don't get.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It, it is, and I mean, and for that to happen,
you know, and again you look at you know, we're
a country of law and order. You know, you can't
allow folks that you know invested all that they did
in a small business downtown to be burned and looted
and destroyed and go, oh, that's just you know, this
happens sometimes. No, it should not happen, man. And that's
where you know, your guff are supposed to be holding
the line on that to go listen, you know, we
(08:03):
can deal with issues in society, and that's what that's
what you have these processes for. Let me tell you something.
You're not going to go out and burn your neighbor's business.
You are not going to do that. You are not
going to go out and target other people because you
don't like something in society. That is not what we're
going to do here in this country or in this
in our state. But instead, you see what happens when
you have a governor that says, yeah, you know, hey,
if it causes more pain to the other side of things,
(08:26):
you know, so let's just let's just have at it.
And it is a terrible thing to live through for
the people in Minneapolis that have to do that. But again,
the Democrats elevate this guy to be in the VP.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Pick a very strange guy.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I mean, some of the videos I've seen of him,
his antics, the way he runs around dancing, pointing his
finger backwards over his shoulder. I don't know what he's doing.
I don't know what this guy's about. He acts like
he's on some kind of a children's show or something.
And as for his wife, I guess it never occurred
to her that that burning smell in the morning meant
that honest, hard working, everyday citizens were losing their businesses
(09:03):
because of these riots.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So didn't That didn't impact.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Her at all.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You know, when you look at liberals, most of them
are godless, and where that void is within their souls
where they should be worshiping God, they have to fill
that with something. So they fill it with They fight
for abortion, with the the green climate change nonsense, their
hatred of Donald Trump. And I know, of course, I
(09:32):
know enough about what happened to DNC to know that
abortion rights were on full display. Talk to me about
that the leftist belief in abortion and what they want.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
In the way of abortion.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, you know, I think it's interesting because you know,
I've had some discussions with folks where I say, listen,
it's not a coincidence that all the Democrat platforms and
position end up destroying the family. I mean, you know,
it's almost like they want to explain it to you
in this way. It's like, yeah, you know, we like
abortions because women's are to choose, and you know, we
(10:04):
want to push Christian New Religion out of out of
public square because you know, separation church and state, which
isn't true, bully, But and then we want to push
you know, transgenders among your kids because we're trying to
be inclusive. Look, all of those things break down the
family unit. And this is what the left worships wocism,
and wocism is a mind virus. It has no logical sense.
(10:26):
You look at these things that they're doing and you
go everything you're talking about damage of society, It damages families,
it damages the quality of life of the people that's
been pushed upon. But they don't care because these are
cult like beliefs. When you talk about wocism that again,
it hurts the people involved. It actually does damage to them,
(10:46):
and you can't logic your way through it because it
isn't logical. It is a mind virus. And as you
continue to see the left bow the need to the
furthest left fringe of their base, they can continue to
just become so radicalized that what you're saying is I
mean the destruction they're creating on society. It has gone
(11:08):
into rapid speed the last few years because of the
absurdity of their radical agenda.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They do have a very radical agenda. You know.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I was a drug rep in another life for over
twenty two years, and we had a local doctor that
was also on the board of Planned Parenthood, and she
was so she was woke before woke was a thing.
And when she would go through our local hospital, her
(11:38):
nurses tell me that all the televisions were set on
Fox News, and she bought some kind of a little
channel changer and would go through the hospital. I'm sorry,
the televisions of the hospital were set on CNN. I'm
sorry they were set on Fox and she would go
through and change them all to CNN, and her office
(11:59):
waiting was filled with you know, left wing magazines and
so forth. And it infuriated her that another local doctor
that I also knew, when somebody would come into her
and say I want an abortion, she would say, okay,
but I want to show you what you're aborting, and
you're this far along and here's a picture of what
your baby would look like right now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And a lot of times they'd see how far along
it was, they'd go, no, no, I don't want to
do that. And the pro abortion doctor who sat on
the planned parent a board was furious that this other
female doctor was doing doing that and was talking about
how unprofessional it was and everything else. And I was,
you know, I was thinking to myself, Yeah, the last
(12:42):
thing we want is for a pregnant mother to make
an informed decision. That's that's the last thing we would want.
So these these people, they're part of a cult. They
are I mean, again, I don't even know if woke
does it justice. I mean, they live in an upside
down world. Ryan, you know where it's okay to kill
a baby in a botched abortion, you know, right, And
(13:03):
it's okay to kill a baby right up in two
until birth. They believe that young five year olds that
are just learning their ABC's are somehow mentally equipped to
decide what gender they want to be.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I mean, you've got.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Kids, you know who can't buy a gun, can't drive
a car, can't apply for a credit card, can't do
anything because of their age. But the left thinks they're
old enough to decide their gender when they're very, very young.
And then you go to when we look for our future,
we look to Canada in the UK, where parents are
(13:37):
having their kids taken away from them because they refuse
to use the right pronoun with them and stuff. So
when I look at the left, and tell me what
you think. But when I look at the left right now,
especially all this woke is them, I see an upside
down world where you know, east is west, west is east,
up is down, down is up. Nothing makes any sense.
It's all a huge violation of common sense.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's right. And that's why you know, when we've had
this battle against the woke left in our school districts,
you know, you look at this and you go, Okay,
they don't want your kids to know history because that
would actually create critical thinkers out of them, where they go,
hold on a second, and this always derives me nuts.
Why isn't the Constitution, the federalist papers, the anti federalist papers,
(14:25):
the Declaration of Independence? Why aren't kids actually reading those documents?
We'll tell you why. If you actually allowed kids to
read those things. It's very hard to indoctrinate them, isn't it.
Our rights come from our and I'll go our creator. Well,
how do you get around that? You know? What would
they tell you that? You know that there was no
that it was so secular, there was no faith that go, well,
hold on a second, why would they say it that way?
(14:46):
What do they mean by that?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Again, that is the ultimate stopgap against a dictatorship, and
this over powerful government is the understanding that no, no, no,
even in an election, you could have liked somebody, but
they can't go take your rights away. That God gives
you those rights, not that the person elected. So even
though we have elections, their rights that you're given. That's
(15:08):
a fundamental shift in world history. But you know, they
don't want your kids to be able to fully understand that,
because they want to be able to take your rights
away when they feel like it. You see that time
and time again, so there is an intentional way of
keeping the next generation ignorant so that they can continue
to push their agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I had a I had an attorney on the show
that was part and parcel of impeaching Bill Clinton, and
he said that I would be surprised at how many
attorneys actually think the words separation of church and state
are in our constitution. They do not realize that was
in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Dansbury Church.
(15:46):
They actually think it's in there, and so it's really sad.
And not only that, I told him, I said, it
must drive you crazy when people say, boy, Clinton was
lucky he didn't get impeached, because most people think impeached
means that you're actually removed from office. They don't understand
that's just an indictment by the House of Representatives. And
he said, Mark, there are attorneys that I deal with
(16:10):
who have no idea what the word impeached means. So
that's the point where we've got professionals. We have people
that are licensed attorneys who think the separation of church
of state at church and state is in the Constitution,
and they think that impeach means that you've kicked somebody
out of office. I mean, it's amazing the lack of education.
And I want to pick up on this with you
when we get back. We have to take a quick
(16:31):
break to do a little business with America, and we
shall return with Ryan Walters, the superintendent of Education in Oklahoma.
(16:59):
And we are back with the Tea Party Power Hour
and our special guests from Oklahoma, mister Ryan Walters, Ryan
Kamala Harris has a somewhat small cable to tightrope on
with the whole issue of Hamas versus Israel. What was
brought forth?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Did they pretend that they were all for Israel at
the DNC.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Hey, look, I mean you've seen this with the Democrat Party.
Is they are going to be pro Palestine. They are
going to continue to support Hamas. And it is unbelievable
and unconscionable for what we've seen on college campuses and
the attacks on our Jewish neighbors and Jewish friends. But
the reality is the Democrats have foement to this. They
(17:45):
have foemen to anti Semitism. They have foemen of this
anti Israel because of course they're anti American, so of
course they're anti Israel as well. And you continue to
see this be a push in the Democrat Party, and
it's really sad. I was talking to a friend just
a few weeks ago about concerns of whether his son
should go to a certain university because they're Jewish and
(18:08):
literally concerned for physical danger, and you just go, boy,
I'm telling you, history sure can repeat itself, can it.
I mean, you talk about if you allow this anti
Semitism to be foemented in society, all of a sudden,
it turns into violence. It's absolutely absurd, and we've got
to continue to push back on this radicalism of the
left that is so anti American, they're actually anti jew,
(18:30):
anti Israel as well.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I was speaking to a young liberal woman shortly after
October seventh, and her only concern at that point was
that Israel was going to retaliate and there may not
be a gaza at some point in the future. There
was absolutely not one bit of concern or sympathy for
(18:56):
the twelve hundred Jewish people that lost their lives that day,
Innocent women and children being beheaded, being blown apart by
hand grenades, no concern whatsoever. And it's just like any
of these liberals, if you ask them you know, well,
why are you so pro Hamas or pro gaza, or
why do you believe in climate change? Or why do
you think drag queens should be allowed to go into
(19:18):
kindergarten classrooms? They really don't have an answer. It's just
how you know that crap has been inculcated with them
since kindergarten and they really can't explain it. I may
have told you this the last time you were here.
I have this thing I do sometimes I call the
carte blanche test or the white piece of paper test,
and I'll ask a liberal, why do you believe in
(19:38):
climate change? I'm open to being having my mind to change.
If you come up with some good stuff, I may
join you. Put it down and let me look at
the facts. They can't write anything. It's like, oh, I'm
not really very good at that. I just know everybody
believes it, so it's got to be true. So all right,
oh okay, but that's just it with these people. It's
absolutely weird. And you know, they can put on as
much show as they want at the DNC, but we
(20:00):
all know the Democrat Party is not the party.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
That supports Israel.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
If it were, you wouldn't have people like ilhan Omar
or was her name, Talib Brushidi or whatever, and you've
got I mean, you have openly anti Semitic people in
Congress representing the Democrat Party, and they don't do a
thing about it. I mean, if somebody in the Republican
(20:28):
Party came out and said something very racist, they'd be
gone the next day. But a member of the Democrat
Party can put out anti Semitic crap all day long,
and the Democrats are like, what what do you mean?
I don't get it, anti Semitic? What are you talking about?
So I don't This is kind of this is kind
of interesting. They're almost kind of being eaten by their
own because while the DNC was going on outside, there
(20:50):
were all these pro Hamas demonstrators tearing up the streets.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And you know, I think that's It's like we said earlier,
it's not a coincidence. It's not a coincidence that all
their positions happened to be against the state of Israel.
It's not a coincidence that all their positions happen to
be anti Asemitic. It's like, guys, look, that's their position,
that's what they believe, that their policies aren't accident, it's
actually their agenda. And so this is where you know,
(21:18):
the country. Look the mainstream media, it is sickening to
watch them perpetuate the lies about Kamala Harris and try
to rebrand her and hide her. And I mean, and
it's just amazing to me that the press continues to
allow her to escape by without any tough questions, on
any tough interviews. And this is what's really sad, is
I remember you saw a lot of this back with
(21:39):
President Obama, where you know, the guy would give a
speech and he goes that kind of you know, I mean,
he didn't really say anything, you know what I mean,
He said to hope and change and then give me any detail.
And then you magically go forward and go, hold on, I say,
are people buying this? It's code the same thing that
they're trying to do with Kamala Harris. It's like you
listen to her and go, she didn't say anything and
just raves. Yeah, they just nuts over it. And you know,
(22:02):
this is where we have got to continue to push
to get our neighbors out.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Look, I've been talking a churches. You got to get
out the vote. You got to be talking to your
members to go go mobilize in this election, because this
is one of those that you've seen how radical radically
the country has shifted. If you give Kamala Harris four
years in the Whitehouse, there is no telling what the
country will look like.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Well, you know, and the thing is, I kind of
understand what the churches because Reverend Farakahn can tell or
Reverend Sharpton can tell a congregation to go out and vote,
and he'll even tell them who to vote for, and
Republicans don't do anything about it.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
But there was a Catholic priest at.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
One point who said to his congregation, his parishioners, when
you go to.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Vote, please remember the abortion issue.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
And the government, some Democrats came after him trying to
take away the tax tax free exemption you know, on
his church. So it's like their side is willing to act,
even to have the bad optics of going after a priest,
but our side won't do that to Reverend Sharpton or
Reverend Farakhan or reverend whomever. So it's like they play,
(23:16):
you know, we're playing with slingshots and they're using AK
forty seven's.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like the fight.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
The fight isn't even if you will, because they'll do
anything and they don't care. I mean we saw that
with the law fair prosecution and persecution of President Trump.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, I mean, it's amazing to me. The Democrats will
do anything to advance surgeon that they arrest their political opponents. Yep,
they fonemnted the rage and you had folks out trying
to assassinate President Trump. I'm seeing these threats that are
out there right now on and too. That's how far
they are willing to go. And on our side, you know,
we'll want an election to go well, I don't you know,
(23:53):
I don't know if we want to do that. You know,
I don't know if we want to actually do we
really want to push back on the woke agenda or
do we just want to say please stop and we'll
just move forward, you know. And it's like, and we
started this call off with you talking about Look, I've
been criticized by some Republicans. I walked in office and
fired one hundred and thirty people. I was like, I'm
not going to sit here and allow a bunch of
Democrats to undermine the will of the people of Oklahoma.
(24:15):
I have Republicans go, well, you can't fire people. I mean,
you know, you just got to work inside the confines
of the bureaucracy you've been given. I'm like, that's a
load of garbage. You're not going to be able to
find one hundred Republican voters out there that would say
that right to think I go out there and go, yeah,
we really we voted for you over a Democrat. A
Democrat was running at that bureaucracy, and we don't want
you to fire anybody like that doesn't make any sense.
(24:37):
But he do you think the Democrats would wait one
second to move into office and put their people in place. Absolutely,
they wouldn't. They would move in a heartbeat. But you
know that's where we have to continue as Republicans. You
win an election, go do the things you were elected
to do. Move, enact the policies. Our policies work because
(24:58):
they're based in truth and historical context. Right, we understand,
we've seen throughout history our principles worked. They move the
needle for society. We have got to get at these
policies instituted. Then you let people live in those policies,
and then they can look at what's having to Florida,
Look at many people have gone from Democratic Republicans to
say to Florida live. Governor Sanus came in, moved an
agenda forward and if people go, holy coow, this really worked. Well,
(25:20):
life's better than it was four years ago. I don't
want to join the Republican Party. I mean that that
is a great indicator of what happens when he institute
good policy.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Absolutely, I mean, and again I'm shocked that you have
any Republicans coming after you in Oklahoma. But then again,
like you said, they're bought and paid for by the
teachers' unions. So now now it all makes sense. I mean,
a simple answer, but it covers it. They talked, you know,
one of the things I wanted to talk to you
about is how the Democrat Party is actually just become
(25:51):
the anti Trump party. I mean, I think I think
when Trump finally gets out of politics, they're not going
to have anything to talk about.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Do you want to discuss that for a minute.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Absolutely. I will say this, you know, President Trump, I
think it's so important for everybody to see that they
do that. The hatred they have a President Trump is unbelievable,
but it is truly a hatred for the American people.
They hate him because he's standing in their way. He
is so pro America, so pro putting America first, such
a defender of traditional conservative American values. They have to
(26:23):
destroy him. The radical left does, and it is a
pure attempt to get to you, the conservative traditional American.
They want you. They want to put you on trial,
they want to put you in prison, They want to
attack you, like the attack President Trump. He is the
man standing in the way. And I appreciate so much
the stands he has taken so that we can all
(26:44):
still live in a free country. But I'm telling you,
if we don't get him back in the White House,
there is not someone standing between those type of attacks
and all of us.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
No, I would agree with you.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And one of the things that people forget is that
it wasn't just an attack against If you look at
what happened to the Trump appointees in the White House,
so many of them had their security clearances revoked. At
a gentleman on the other day that was discussing this.
Whenever the Republicans are in charge and a Republican president
gets to pick some political appointees to go into an
(27:19):
office with him, there is an there's an all out
war between the entrenched liberal Democrats, the entrenched bureaucrats who
are there forever and who are like ninety seven percent Democrat,
and the Republican appointees named.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
By the President.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
They will do anything to undercut these people, to destroy them,
to get them fired, to bring false charges against them.
This wasn't just going on as a persecution against Trump,
but this was going on against a lot of his appointees.
Some of them still have litigation on going from the
Trump term. So it's a war against all of us.
(28:02):
It's a war against everybody in Washington who is an
appointee of the president. I mean, there is an ongoing
day to day battle going on between you know, left
and right, but more importantly between good and evil. I mean,
this is just a battle between good and evil being
fought on our plane. And I have no problem saying
(28:22):
that the Democrats to me seem like possessed individuals, not
just because of the lady flicking or lizard or snake tongue,
but because of the things they do. I mean, if
you read Marxist Marxism, you're going to see they openly
admit they have to get rid of the core family unit.
We have to get rid of belief in God. You know,
(28:45):
we have to destroy the family. And that's what they're doing.
I mean, you said earlier that it's no accident that
all their policies are anti family. Well, they've got to
get rid of the family because the two pieces of
foundation that we all cling to in life our family
and God. And in order to throw all that away
(29:06):
and go over to some sick, woke belief, they have
to get rid of the family. They have to get
rid of belief in God, and they openly do that.
I mean, do you remember Ryan during the pandemic cow
You know, you could have riots in the streets where
people were all packed together, but they wouldn't let Christians
go to services in their cars in the parking lot
(29:27):
and stay in their individual cars. But you could go
riot on the streets and get as close to someone
as you want. I mean, that's not an accident. That's
just anti Christian behavior. So anyway, I'll get a bless
I'm supposed to be interviewing you, and I went off
on a tangent, so I apologize. Talk to me about
climate change. That's another thing they used to fill that
void that's left from where they should have a belief
(29:52):
in God.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's just the continued lies and reliance on government. Everything
they have. They want to grow government. You're ever going
to control more of your life, and they will use
any and all means necessary to do so. And you
see that with climate change, and there is another weapons
that they can use to say, yeah, give us more power,
give us more power, and we'll continue to trample your
individual liberty.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When I started this show fourteen years ago, it was
actually called Global Cooling Radio for a while, So I
brought in all the climate scientists who were realists, who
were telling the truth, who were pain in al Gore's side,
and that's what we talked about. So there's kind of
a special place in my heart for the climate change thing.
But I personally think, and tell me what you think
about this, Ryan, I think the purpose of climate change
(30:37):
was to give the un power and to sort of
develop this skeletal frame where the un is can control
people by doing it in the name of climate change.
And once you had that skeletal frame in place, they
were going to start putting more and more meat and
muscle on that skeleton. So eventually we were all part
of a one world government answering to the UN. I
(31:00):
think it was just the first step. And in fact,
there were climate climate supporters or climate change supporters advocates
I call them alarmist who openly said years ago that well,
this really isn't about climate, it's about global governance. I
think the President of France actually said that. So, I mean,
(31:22):
we look at it and they go, oh, you know,
it's just some people wanting to be supportive of the environment.
There are just some people who you know, who want
us to have clean air and water and no temperature
changes whatsoever. But in reality, there's a there's a much
bigger picture, and it involves Marxism.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
That's right, that's always the goal, and that's where it
all feeds back into. And that's where it's so crucial
that we're able to win this election this fall, and
you've got to get the present Trump back in the
White House to stop this agenda.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, well, tell me, how are you doing in Oklahoma?
Are you going to be able to fend off these
ridiculous challenges?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. The people of Oklahoma are just
livid at these attacks on me by a couple of
rhinos up here, and so we're going to continue to
fly back and we're going to continue to institute the
agenda of the people of Oklahoma, which is a conservative agenda,
and we're going to continue to lead the country and
education reform up here.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, Ryan, I hope you'll keep coming back to visit
with us, because I kind of have my eye on
you as someone who's rising star in the Republican Party,
and I think you.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Are ready for prime time. You are ready for that
next jump.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And I hope President Trump, you know, God willing that
he's elected, does take a serious look at you for
some position, because you've certainly shown yourself to be someone
who doesn't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.
And we need more people likes that, More people who
aren't afraid to be attacked by Democrats, more people who
aren't afraid to be attacked by the media, and people
(32:50):
that will just stand up for what's true and right.
I mean, you think there'd be a lot of people
like that, but there aren't. So we need more people
like you. And I, like I said, We're going to
keep on your career because I see it going nowhere
but up.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Well, I sure, appreciate that and I'm happy to be on.
I appreciate the work you're doing. I'd love to come
back anytime. Thank you for having me on today.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
All right, have a great day, yes sir, so yeah,
you've
