So she'll be popping in here in just a second. I just have to change one little

51
00:04:22,460 --> 00:04:24,260
setting before I get going here.

52
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,720
Sam, what would you like to talk about?

53
00:04:28,297 --> 00:04:29,377
I talk about everything.

54
00:04:33,337 --> 00:04:38,357
Well, I, of course, told them that, you know, you're a health education and

55
00:04:38,357 --> 00:04:40,677
a freedom advocate, you know, and,

56
00:04:40,737 --> 00:04:44,457
you know, we know you guys do a lot of homeschooling and stuff like that.

57
00:04:44,777 --> 00:04:49,057
And Kevin was telling us about how, you know, positive that was for the kids.

58
00:04:49,437 --> 00:04:51,557
We also are homeschoolers ourselves.

59
00:04:52,037 --> 00:04:55,997
We do have a teacher that comes. And so that really obviously helps.

60
00:04:55,997 --> 00:05:00,277
But you know, that that's, that's something that we really connect with.

61
00:05:00,457 --> 00:05:04,377
And of course, you know, we're, we're trying to bring out solutions, right.

62
00:05:04,857 --> 00:05:10,557
And, you know, you think about what to what, to what they're doing to our kids.

63
00:05:10,657 --> 00:05:12,897
That's what the save our children conference is about.

64
00:05:13,097 --> 00:05:16,037
And as you know, it's the same thing with us.

65
00:05:16,057 --> 00:05:19,957
Our kids were behind, they're not doing good in school and you,

66
00:05:20,037 --> 00:05:23,837
you get them homeschooled And all of a sudden they're, you know,

67
00:05:23,837 --> 00:05:26,137
they catch up five years in just two years.

68
00:05:26,357 --> 00:05:31,077
So it's pretty, pretty astonishing. So let's talk about that. Or we're going, right?

69
00:05:31,177 --> 00:05:34,557
We're on our way. I'm going to go ahead and start us here and just need one

70
00:05:34,557 --> 00:05:36,397
little second and we are recording.

71
00:05:36,677 --> 00:05:39,997
So I just need one second of pause and then I'll go ahead and start us.

72
00:05:40,997 --> 00:05:44,837
Hello, everyone. This is the Supernatural Junkies, Sansla Alex.

73
00:05:45,077 --> 00:05:49,197
No, she's coming in in just a minute. We have Dr. Dennis in the house and Dr.

74
00:05:49,277 --> 00:05:52,717
Dozier is going to be joining us in just a few minutes. Say hello, Dennis.

75
00:05:53,457 --> 00:05:58,317
Hello, Dennis. That's right. He's back. And, of course, Alex will be joining.

76
00:05:58,377 --> 00:06:02,557
We have another special guest today. We're so honored to be able to interview

77
00:06:02,557 --> 00:06:06,877
some of the speakers for the Save Our Children conference that's coming up here

78
00:06:06,877 --> 00:06:09,657
in the Tampa Bay area. It is Sam Sorbos.

79
00:06:10,177 --> 00:06:11,817
How are you doing this morning, Sam?

80
00:06:12,537 --> 00:06:15,517
I'm good. Thanks for asking. It's a good day.

81
00:06:15,817 --> 00:06:19,177
You're ready to go. You're ready to go. Well, we had the pleasure,

82
00:06:19,337 --> 00:06:22,917
of course, of talking to your husband and, uh, he's a great,

83
00:06:22,977 --> 00:06:25,657
he's a great interview because he's been everywhere.

84
00:06:25,857 --> 00:06:30,577
He's done all that. And, uh, so of course he was giving you lots of plugs the other day as well.

85
00:06:30,717 --> 00:06:35,777
So, you know, you, you are an author, you're a speaker, you're a producer,

86
00:06:35,997 --> 00:06:37,657
and you're also an actress.

87
00:06:37,757 --> 00:06:42,317
So what kind of got your career going in, in the actress direction? Yeah.

88
00:06:43,133 --> 00:06:47,453
Oh, well, so what got my career going in the actor's direction was actually

89
00:06:47,453 --> 00:06:51,913
I started a modeling career when I was in college, and that took off.

90
00:06:52,073 --> 00:06:58,373
And so I started to realize that I could do the things that I had been taught I couldn't do.

91
00:06:58,713 --> 00:07:04,613
So I went to school like most of us. I went to what is known as a good public school.

92
00:07:04,753 --> 00:07:09,233
We moved for the better schools, so we were in the a good school district.

93
00:07:09,453 --> 00:07:14,293
And of course, the teacher, the drama teacher at my high school was a failed

94
00:07:14,293 --> 00:07:16,853
actor, right? She was on Broadway.

95
00:07:17,073 --> 00:07:20,773
She was an attractive young woman. She had not succeeded on Broadway,

96
00:07:20,893 --> 00:07:22,073
so she took a job teaching.

97
00:07:22,353 --> 00:07:26,793
So what was her message to all of her students? You can't succeed as an actor

98
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:30,533
on Broadway or anywhere because she had not succeeded.

99
00:07:30,793 --> 00:07:36,913
This is a danger when we're hiring people who are failures at their chosen profession,

100
00:07:36,913 --> 00:07:41,073
And so they then decide to teach. And I'm not saying that all teachers are that.

101
00:07:41,353 --> 00:07:44,853
But in her case, she was. So she dissuaded me from pursuing acting.

102
00:07:45,133 --> 00:07:49,433
I know that she also dissuaded another young actress who was a couple of years

103
00:07:49,433 --> 00:07:54,093
ahead of me in school, who also went on to a very, very prominent Hollywood career.

104
00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:56,493
So she's been proven wrong at least twice.

105
00:07:57,913 --> 00:08:01,093
But it wasn't until I had started modeling that I realized, oh,

106
00:08:01,153 --> 00:08:05,193
maybe people are wrong when they say don't try certain things.

107
00:08:05,933 --> 00:08:10,133
Well, for some reason, my video has dropped here, but we're going to continue on.

108
00:08:10,193 --> 00:08:15,013
When you say you got to do some things that you were told you wouldn't be able

109
00:08:15,013 --> 00:08:16,553
to do, what did you mean by that?

110
00:08:17,567 --> 00:08:19,187
I was talking about acting. Oh,

111
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:22,487
really? So you didn't have a lot of people cheering for you then, right?

112
00:08:23,147 --> 00:08:26,947
No, I was actively dissuaded from pursuing acting all through my high school years.

113
00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:31,407
Oh, my goodness. And here's the thing. Like, I was tall, so I wasn't getting the lead roles anyway.

114
00:08:31,827 --> 00:08:34,287
You know, there were other things that were dissuading me. But,

115
00:08:34,287 --> 00:08:40,147
you know, guidance counselors will tell you acting is not a career path. It's not viable.

116
00:08:41,127 --> 00:08:46,907
So, yeah. So I went to college. I was pre-med. I was studying science and STEM stuff.

117
00:08:47,567 --> 00:08:52,487
And yeah, and then I ended up modeling over the summer and that was so successful

118
00:08:52,487 --> 00:08:57,567
that I continued and realized that I could make a lot of money modeling.

119
00:08:57,627 --> 00:09:03,047
Now, I was raised in school to go to college, get a degree, get a career,

120
00:09:03,267 --> 00:09:08,367
make a lot of money, and then consider sort of family and having a family,

121
00:09:08,427 --> 00:09:09,807
raising kids and all that stuff.

122
00:09:09,807 --> 00:09:14,567
But the first and foremost is college prep and career readiness. Go make money.

123
00:09:14,867 --> 00:09:19,367
And that is the focus of our culture today because of our education system.

124
00:09:19,747 --> 00:09:22,947
And I shouldn't call it an education system because that's not what it is.

125
00:09:23,027 --> 00:09:26,947
It's actually a school system, which is different than an education system.

126
00:09:27,207 --> 00:09:31,667
But we're trained, right? We're schooled to think money is the answer.

127
00:09:31,667 --> 00:09:36,527
And so when I had achieved the money, because modeling pays very well,

128
00:09:36,547 --> 00:09:42,767
and I was very successful, I realized, oh, so I did everything that they told me to do.

129
00:09:43,347 --> 00:09:47,687
And that's when I went on a spiritual journey. But it wasn't until then.

130
00:09:48,147 --> 00:09:51,667
So after the modeling, you started your journey, huh? Yeah.

131
00:09:52,451 --> 00:09:58,391
So I modeled for several years, and modeling led to acting, TV commercials and then acting.

132
00:09:58,571 --> 00:10:03,591
And I had always wanted to act, so it was a natural progression, and it worked for me.

133
00:10:04,371 --> 00:10:10,131
What shows would we have seen you in? Because some people or audience may not

134
00:10:10,131 --> 00:10:12,451
be familiar with your acting career.

135
00:10:12,951 --> 00:10:16,771
Well, of course, I co-starred on Hercules for several episodes.

136
00:10:17,051 --> 00:10:22,051
But before that, I was on Chicago Hope for a half season. And I've I've done

137
00:10:22,051 --> 00:10:24,931
a number of movies with with notable people.

138
00:10:25,051 --> 00:10:29,191
I was in a movie with Bruce Willis. I was in a movie with Brandon Frazier,

139
00:10:29,371 --> 00:10:32,371
a number of different movies and TV shows.

140
00:10:32,511 --> 00:10:37,611
And so people can go on IMDb and look up my whole resume. But yeah.

141
00:10:37,931 --> 00:10:42,111
So how was that? Did you enjoy that part of your life and did you get to stay

142
00:10:42,111 --> 00:10:44,031
in some great locations or how was that?

143
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:50,891
Yeah, acting acting is five percent absolutely thrilling. and the other 95%

144
00:10:50,891 --> 00:10:56,711
fairly boring and or frustrating, but that, that 5% makes it worth it.

145
00:10:56,791 --> 00:10:58,751
I really enjoyed it. I still do.

146
00:10:58,891 --> 00:11:02,871
I still produce and act. I acted in a movie on Tuesday, actually.

147
00:11:03,091 --> 00:11:07,511
So that was kind of fun. It was, it's, it's fun. It's, it's,

148
00:11:07,511 --> 00:11:12,371
it's fun for me because I get to do a little bit of everything and,

149
00:11:12,431 --> 00:11:14,491
and I find that makes life interesting.

150
00:11:15,291 --> 00:11:19,551
So of course, Kevin was telling us about how he enjoyed the time he was when

151
00:11:19,551 --> 00:11:21,671
he was in new zealand how was that over there.

152
00:11:22,699 --> 00:11:26,719
So when I first went down there and met him, of course, I fell head over heels

153
00:11:26,719 --> 00:11:28,659
in love with him. And so that was pretty good.

154
00:11:29,139 --> 00:11:33,199
Then they brought me back to play three episode arc as his love interest.

155
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:34,799
And that was also a lot of fun.

156
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,479
So New Zealand was great. And then we got married. And shortly before we got

157
00:11:39,479 --> 00:11:40,979
married, he had his health crisis.

158
00:11:41,259 --> 00:11:46,479
And so then New Zealand was, as much as I loved it there, it was a difficult time for us.

159
00:11:46,579 --> 00:11:50,539
It was a very difficult time for him. It was a challenging time for me because

160
00:11:50,539 --> 00:11:55,919
I was his caretaker, his caregiver and his cheerleader.

161
00:11:56,219 --> 00:11:58,019
And so that was challenging.

162
00:11:58,439 --> 00:12:01,759
But I love New Zealand as a country. I love the nature there.

163
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:09,499
If you watch The Hercules Show, and I do recommend that families watch The Hercules Show.

164
00:12:09,619 --> 00:12:13,319
A lot of families really enjoyed watching that show as a family.

165
00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:16,619
There are people who still come up to Kevin today and say, you know,

166
00:12:16,619 --> 00:12:20,119
I watched you all growing up with my grandpa, and every time I see the show,

167
00:12:20,219 --> 00:12:23,459
I get warm feelings for my grandfather and, you know, that kind of thing.

168
00:12:23,619 --> 00:12:26,359
It's a morally principled show. It's great for kids.

169
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:34,039
It shows heroism. It shows a reluctance to violence, propensity for trying to

170
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:37,139
solve problems without violence. This is all good things, right?

171
00:12:37,439 --> 00:12:43,639
And so in that sense, it's really such a great show. But the co-star of the

172
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:45,179
show really is New Zealand.

173
00:12:45,379 --> 00:12:50,139
And so a lot of people tuned into the show just to see the lush greenery of

174
00:12:50,139 --> 00:12:52,559
New Zealand, the foliage, and it's so beautiful.

175
00:12:53,099 --> 00:12:59,539
So of course, we did ask Kevin how you guys met. And so some of this story is matching up.

176
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,599
So now we want to hear the real truth. Are you checking up on him?

177
00:13:03,239 --> 00:13:07,799
Yes. We could not help. We can't resist, you know, because, you know,

178
00:13:07,819 --> 00:13:10,219
we, all of us couples have our stories, right?

179
00:13:10,439 --> 00:13:15,679
So this is great story that we heard from Kevin. So we want to hear it from your perspective.

180
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:21,259
Which, which story? Well, the, how you guys met, of course you said you met,

181
00:13:21,319 --> 00:13:24,979
you know, on the set there and then how things, you said you fell head over

182
00:13:24,979 --> 00:13:28,059
heels in love. So tell us, tell us how all that happened.

183
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:33,049
Well, okay. Well, I don't know what he's told you, but... That's the whole point.

184
00:13:34,749 --> 00:13:38,269
This is like the newlyweds. Oh, that's funny.

185
00:13:38,889 --> 00:13:46,449
So he basically pursued me almost right from the start. It was interesting because I flew down there.

186
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:50,849
And by the way, if you want the nitty gritty on this, it's in the book, True Strength.

187
00:13:52,029 --> 00:13:56,449
That's his autobiography. And so he tells... But I will say,

188
00:13:56,549 --> 00:14:01,729
I wrote that chapter. chapter, which so, and I wrote a few of the chapters and

189
00:14:01,729 --> 00:14:06,049
they are the best chapters in the book, but regardless, the whole book is worth reading anyway.

190
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:12,769
So, so I was supposed to fly down there and my flight was delayed by a day because

191
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:18,709
the volcano spewed ash into the atmosphere and they wouldn't allow the planes to fly through it.

192
00:14:19,009 --> 00:14:23,709
And because I was delayed for the day, I missed the whole cast read through.

193
00:14:23,889 --> 00:14:28,209
So the director said, listen, I want to do a read through with the two stars

194
00:14:28,209 --> 00:14:32,869
of the show just because it's important that we do a read-through and she wasn't

195
00:14:32,869 --> 00:14:34,269
here for the whole cast read-through.

196
00:14:34,569 --> 00:14:40,489
And so poor Kevin, he worked 14, 16 hours a day and then went to the gym for

197
00:14:40,489 --> 00:14:43,369
a couple hours every day. And he's dead tired.

198
00:14:43,569 --> 00:14:47,049
He already spent his evening doing the read-through the night before.

199
00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:51,229
Now he has to go back and do another read-through with this guest star who just flew down.

200
00:14:51,749 --> 00:14:57,089
But when we met, because I had come off of a show with complete jerk.

201
00:14:57,289 --> 00:15:00,809
I did a show that was very similar. It was a hero buddy show.

202
00:15:01,129 --> 00:15:04,529
They were, you know, crime fighters or whatever. And that guy,

203
00:15:04,709 --> 00:15:11,169
the star of that show had been such a jerk and he wasn't even that famous and

204
00:15:11,169 --> 00:15:12,869
he wasn't even that good looking.

205
00:15:13,089 --> 00:15:19,229
And so I was concerned that when I met Kevin, who was uber famous and tremendously

206
00:15:19,229 --> 00:15:24,909
good looking, that there would be this, you know, So he would be weird.

207
00:15:25,832 --> 00:15:29,832
So I decided that when I met him, I would hug him because I knew that I would

208
00:15:29,832 --> 00:15:31,592
have to kiss him in the kissing scene.

209
00:15:32,112 --> 00:15:35,812
I knew that it was supposed to be a romantic interest in the script.

210
00:15:36,312 --> 00:15:40,052
And so I decided to sort of break down that physical barrier that you have with

211
00:15:40,052 --> 00:15:41,092
people right off the bat.

212
00:15:41,252 --> 00:15:45,112
And that way, if he was a jerk, I could work my way around it.

213
00:15:45,132 --> 00:15:46,872
I could act my way around it, so to speak.

214
00:15:47,172 --> 00:15:53,052
And so I hugged him when I first met him and he got embarrassed and he said,

215
00:15:53,172 --> 00:15:55,032
oh, oh, okay, we'll do the Hollywood thing.

216
00:15:55,032 --> 00:15:57,992
You know hug hug and i thought

217
00:15:57,992 --> 00:16:00,992
that that's interesting that was not the that was

218
00:16:00,992 --> 00:16:03,832
not the reaction that i expected and then

219
00:16:03,832 --> 00:16:07,432
it just went from there and he was he's an outrageous flirt and

220
00:16:07,432 --> 00:16:10,312
unfortunately i i pick up on that very easily

221
00:16:10,312 --> 00:16:13,212
and so we just we we

222
00:16:13,212 --> 00:16:17,112
hit it off it was uh it was really quite something remember

223
00:16:17,112 --> 00:16:20,672
men only flirt with those they're interested in is

224
00:16:20,672 --> 00:16:24,212
that true i don't know if that's true well he

225
00:16:24,212 --> 00:16:27,032
said i mean you would why flirt with someone you're

226
00:16:27,032 --> 00:16:30,412
not interested in well to make

227
00:16:30,412 --> 00:16:36,572
them feel good you know he did tell us that he pursued you that it took some

228
00:16:36,572 --> 00:16:40,932
time for you to agree to go out with him yeah oh yeah i mean when he first when

229
00:16:40,932 --> 00:16:44,472
he first wanted to you know hey how are we going to work this out kind of thing

230
00:16:44,472 --> 00:16:48,132
i'm like i I don't know what you're talking about because I don't date actors.

231
00:16:48,392 --> 00:16:52,452
I don't date guys with long hair and I don't date long distance.

232
00:16:52,532 --> 00:16:56,812
Like there's nothing here to work out. It's not half. This isn't happening.

233
00:16:57,212 --> 00:17:02,512
And he just wouldn't take no for an answer, so to speak. And we had our first

234
00:17:02,512 --> 00:17:05,132
date down there and it went surprisingly well.

235
00:17:05,712 --> 00:17:10,712
He confessed to me on our first date that he knew where he wanted to get married,

236
00:17:10,872 --> 00:17:14,672
which is for date conversation, of course. Was that scary?

237
00:17:15,372 --> 00:17:20,732
It wasn't scary. It was just weird. It's just like, dude, what are you smoking?

238
00:17:21,172 --> 00:17:25,472
And then he said, and then he said to me, and this is, this is in the book also.

239
00:17:25,632 --> 00:17:32,492
He goes, yeah, there's a little, there's a little chapel in the Swiss Alps. And I said, in Garmisch?

240
00:17:33,012 --> 00:17:34,892
And he looked at me, he's like, yes.

241
00:17:35,552 --> 00:17:39,572
How do you know that? And I said, well, my grandfather gave me a painting of

242
00:17:39,572 --> 00:17:43,072
it and it's hanging on my wall at home.

243
00:17:43,972 --> 00:17:49,832
And he's like, well, that is really weird. Oh, and I'm going to have three kids, boy, boy, girl.

244
00:17:50,272 --> 00:17:54,092
And I said, well, that's weird because that's what I'm having, boy, boy, girl.

245
00:17:55,782 --> 00:18:02,382
And so I think at that moment, we kind of were like, oh, this is there's something that's happening here.

246
00:18:02,682 --> 00:18:05,922
And then, of course, we did have boy, boy, girl, which is just freaky.

247
00:18:06,102 --> 00:18:09,122
So, well, Kevin was very cute.

248
00:18:09,222 --> 00:18:14,582
I love when he was explaining and how he said it took a while for him to get you to go out on a date.

249
00:18:14,902 --> 00:18:19,162
And he said something about country music and then find out you were a Christian.

250
00:18:19,362 --> 00:18:24,062
And and so he was like he had he couldn't help but have to take notice.

251
00:18:24,062 --> 00:18:28,002
Us and and then he recollected how you're

252
00:18:28,002 --> 00:18:31,042
his dad which must not be a hugger hugs you

253
00:18:31,042 --> 00:18:33,982
right away so so he said

254
00:18:33,982 --> 00:18:36,762
a few things that were just very enduring and very

255
00:18:36,762 --> 00:18:39,582
cute uh so you know i i

256
00:18:39,582 --> 00:18:42,462
proposed to my wife in a hello kitty costume and that's

257
00:18:42,462 --> 00:18:46,022
that's one for the books so yeah

258
00:18:46,022 --> 00:18:49,402
but i i got her for sure

259
00:18:49,402 --> 00:18:52,322
so so uh anyways but long

260
00:18:52,322 --> 00:18:57,282
story short so after you did that show you said you did a little piece on uh

261
00:18:57,282 --> 00:19:04,462
chicago hope was it i did chicago hope after i did my first episode of hercules

262
00:19:04,462 --> 00:19:05,862
and before they called me back

263
00:19:05,862 --> 00:19:10,742
i did like eight episodes of chicago hope was it really in in Chicago.

264
00:19:11,842 --> 00:19:15,502
No, but I really did play a doctor on TV.

265
00:19:17,842 --> 00:19:21,262
Well, I mean, that can come in handy, right?

266
00:19:22,302 --> 00:19:26,742
Later on. Chicago Hope was cool because one of the things they did for us,

267
00:19:26,762 --> 00:19:32,482
because we were playing doctors, we were going to be in operating rooms pretending to operate and stuff.

268
00:19:32,502 --> 00:19:36,142
They wanted us to feel as comfortable and as knowledgeable as possible.

269
00:19:36,222 --> 00:19:40,182
So they set it up for us to go go witness actual surgeries.

270
00:19:40,602 --> 00:19:43,382
So I witnessed a quintuple bypass.

271
00:19:44,062 --> 00:19:49,122
I was in the operating room for that. I was in the operating room for a full knee replacement.

272
00:19:50,715 --> 00:19:55,415
And because I was pre-med in college, I was fascinated by that stuff.

273
00:19:55,515 --> 00:19:57,095
So I really appreciated the opportunity.

274
00:19:57,595 --> 00:20:03,395
So it's, you know, depending on the part, acting is quite multifaceted.

275
00:20:03,935 --> 00:20:08,735
Cool. So, you know, once you guys decided to get married, you know,

276
00:20:08,735 --> 00:20:13,355
and you are now thinking about having kids, how did you handle the professional,

277
00:20:13,815 --> 00:20:16,595
you know, changes that you've have to make?

278
00:20:16,655 --> 00:20:20,735
Because, you know, now you're a major advocate, you know, for freedom with respect

279
00:20:20,735 --> 00:20:25,055
to education and especially with homeschooling. You know, Kevin was telling

280
00:20:25,055 --> 00:20:26,235
us about the homeschooling.

281
00:20:26,255 --> 00:20:28,675
So how did that transition happen for you?

282
00:20:28,735 --> 00:20:32,695
Now you're married and now you're trying to move into maybe a next stage and

283
00:20:32,695 --> 00:20:34,075
then to where you are today.

284
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:41,115
So shortly before I met Kevin, I sent a prayer up to God because I knew that

285
00:20:41,115 --> 00:20:46,315
I wanted to be married and I wasn't finding a guy in Hollywood, strangely.

286
00:20:47,055 --> 00:20:50,695
Go figure. And so I sent a prayer up to God and I said, okay,

287
00:20:50,755 --> 00:20:52,595
God, I get it. There's going to be a compromise.

288
00:20:53,435 --> 00:20:58,115
I just don't know what the compromise is. Like, where am I supposed to compromise

289
00:20:58,115 --> 00:21:02,835
to achieve my goal of family and children, right?

290
00:21:03,515 --> 00:21:09,415
And in other words, you know, is he going to be short? Is he going to be bald? Is he going to be stupid?

291
00:21:12,175 --> 00:21:17,635
Is Because I get it. I'm not going to meet the perfect guy, right? And because I...

292
00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:23,344
You know, when you're dating, it's like, there's, it's, it's good, good, good. Uh-oh.

293
00:21:23,804 --> 00:21:28,784
Right. And then you're like, uh-oh, that that's a red, that doesn't work, but should it work?

294
00:21:28,944 --> 00:21:32,704
Should I make it work? Should it, should I, you know, and then a couple,

295
00:21:32,764 --> 00:21:36,284
a couple months after that, I would say I flew down to New Zealand and I met

296
00:21:36,284 --> 00:21:41,244
Kevin and despite, you know, my reluctance to date him, he was perfect.

297
00:21:41,904 --> 00:21:45,984
He's brilliant. He's a good actor. He's darn good looking.

298
00:21:46,384 --> 00:21:50,364
Like what is wrong with that specimen of a human being, nothing,

299
00:21:50,484 --> 00:21:56,404
except he lived across an ocean, which wasn't even like a thing,

300
00:21:56,464 --> 00:21:59,024
like, okay, we'll just have to work that out kind of thing.

301
00:21:59,424 --> 00:22:02,884
And in fact, I thought, okay, so sort of that's the compromise,

302
00:22:03,124 --> 00:22:05,244
like we're going to have to work at it a little bit.

303
00:22:05,524 --> 00:22:11,224
And so we began dating and then he got ill and he was in intensive care and

304
00:22:11,224 --> 00:22:15,484
I booked probably the the best job I've ever been offered as an actress.

305
00:22:15,744 --> 00:22:22,324
It was a national network TV commercial, which means they pay you upfront a

306
00:22:22,324 --> 00:22:27,404
ton of money for your talent for to, to, to go and perform the commercial.

307
00:22:27,564 --> 00:22:32,324
It's like a three-day shoot, New York city, first class, all the way,

308
00:22:32,364 --> 00:22:34,704
all expenses paid lots of money.

309
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:39,264
But then when the commercial's done, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching every time

310
00:22:39,264 --> 00:22:43,704
it it airs and it's national and it's network, which means it's going to air a lot.

311
00:22:44,184 --> 00:22:51,424
And I booked the job and, and I realized, Oh, and the commercial was for my

312
00:22:51,424 --> 00:22:54,064
all-time favorite thing, which is ice cream.

313
00:22:54,764 --> 00:22:58,424
It's like, it wasn't for, you know, peanuts, which to take them or leave them.

314
00:22:58,484 --> 00:23:00,084
It was for my favorite thing.

315
00:23:00,824 --> 00:23:04,844
And so I went into intensive care and I said to Kevin, he knew what was going

316
00:23:04,844 --> 00:23:06,104
on. I said, I booked the commercial.

317
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:10,884
Do you want me not to go? At which point he said, yes, I want you not to go

318
00:23:10,884 --> 00:23:17,164
because he was lying on his back, unable to move because he had blood thinners

319
00:23:17,164 --> 00:23:20,444
going through his body and one false move, he could just bleed out.

320
00:23:21,592 --> 00:23:26,732
He was in dire, dire straits. And I said, okay, you don't want me to go.

321
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:32,072
And I sat down and I looked up at heaven, basically, right? And I said,

322
00:23:32,112 --> 00:23:34,352
oh, that's the compromise.

323
00:23:35,412 --> 00:23:39,212
I have to sacrifice my career. And I did it right then. I was like that.

324
00:23:39,352 --> 00:23:42,052
It was like, oh, is that the compromise? I get it.

325
00:23:42,372 --> 00:23:45,692
I get it. I have to make the choice to do family.

326
00:23:46,372 --> 00:23:51,252
Family has to come first. Everything else is a secondary, that's the compromise.

327
00:23:51,472 --> 00:23:52,972
We're not taught this in school.

328
00:23:53,632 --> 00:23:57,372
We aren't taught that every choice is binary. We're taught to make pros and

329
00:23:57,372 --> 00:24:00,592
cons lists, which by the way, have you ever made a pros and cons list?

330
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,972
It just offers you a ton of confusion, right?

331
00:24:03,232 --> 00:24:05,132
It doesn't really sort anything.

332
00:24:05,732 --> 00:24:10,132
It just, it gets you to think about the thing, but it doesn't really offer clarity.

333
00:24:10,772 --> 00:24:13,292
Clarity is offered when you make priorities.

334
00:24:13,992 --> 00:24:18,412
When you prioritize things, then your first priority offers you your decision

335
00:24:18,412 --> 00:24:23,212
and all the other priorities will have to take second place because they are second place. Right.

336
00:24:23,352 --> 00:24:28,192
And so I walked away from my career, which then leads up to,

337
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:31,832
it took us a while to get pregnant. It was difficult for us. He was very sick.

338
00:24:32,072 --> 00:24:36,492
The, the medications that they had had him on, I think did a number on his whole

339
00:24:36,492 --> 00:24:38,672
system and stuff. And so we struggled to get pregnant.

340
00:24:38,892 --> 00:24:44,452
But by the time we had four kids or three kids, I wasn't really working because

341
00:24:44,452 --> 00:24:49,132
we lived out of the country and foreign countries don't like it when Americans come and work.

342
00:24:49,672 --> 00:24:53,552
We don't mind, apparently, but other countries do.

343
00:24:54,512 --> 00:24:58,672
And so it was a struggle for me to get any work as an actress when Kevin had

344
00:24:58,672 --> 00:25:01,472
recovered enough to sort of allow for that.

345
00:25:01,632 --> 00:25:06,772
But we got back to the States when he finished up his second show because he

346
00:25:06,772 --> 00:25:09,172
did end up working through his

347
00:25:09,172 --> 00:25:13,592
illness, which was a tremendous blessing for him to be able to do that.

348
00:25:14,432 --> 00:25:17,212
We got back to the States and I started auditioning again.

349
00:25:17,952 --> 00:25:22,972
And as of my, I don't know, third audition, which it's like a three-hour process.

350
00:25:23,092 --> 00:25:26,292
You leave the house to get there and then you sit there for a while and then

351
00:25:26,292 --> 00:25:28,232
you do the audition and then you drive back home.

352
00:25:28,572 --> 00:25:31,392
I got back home and my toddler runs up to me.

353
00:25:31,852 --> 00:25:37,352
This is my youngest, is about a year and a half. And she's got one word and a finger. Right.

354
00:25:38,184 --> 00:25:42,364
And she runs up to me and she goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

355
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:46,344
And I'm like, what's what's that about? So I pick her up. I put her on my hip.

356
00:25:46,604 --> 00:25:49,964
She turns right to the nanny and says, bye bye.

357
00:25:51,264 --> 00:25:55,384
And I thought, oh, it's another one of those binary choices.

358
00:25:56,144 --> 00:26:01,184
You can do kids or you can do your career. But if you do your career,

359
00:26:01,284 --> 00:26:02,444
you compromise your family.

360
00:26:03,064 --> 00:26:08,504
At least that's the way that I saw it, because it's a compromise. It has to be.

361
00:26:08,644 --> 00:26:13,004
If you're not 100% there, you're less than 100% there, right?

362
00:26:13,284 --> 00:26:19,424
And so I walked away from my career again, and that developed into my attitude

363
00:26:19,424 --> 00:26:21,024
towards home education.

364
00:26:21,304 --> 00:26:24,124
But it wasn't until Brayden went through second grade.

365
00:26:24,224 --> 00:26:28,544
He went through, we moved for a better public school system,

366
00:26:28,604 --> 00:26:33,124
and then he did first and second grade. And it wasn't until towards the end

367
00:26:33,124 --> 00:26:37,944
of second grade that I started to go, you know, this school thing just isn't working out.

368
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:40,384
This is not education the way that I see it.

369
00:26:40,944 --> 00:26:42,984
And it's detrimental.

370
00:26:43,664 --> 00:26:49,284
And that was before Common Core and before all the woke ideology and before all that stuff.

371
00:26:49,284 --> 00:26:56,104
I could see through it and I could see what they were doing with school was

372
00:26:56,104 --> 00:27:00,444
kill the curiosity of the child, kill his desire to learn.

373
00:27:00,544 --> 00:27:03,464
And that's what school accomplishes, sadly.

374
00:27:03,764 --> 00:27:10,044
And I'll say there may be 10% of the population where it doesn't actually deter

375
00:27:10,044 --> 00:27:15,684
them, but by and large, it's a deterrent to learning, school is, for children.

376
00:27:15,944 --> 00:27:18,304
Yeah. I love that you said that because Because I always feel,

377
00:27:18,444 --> 00:27:23,264
we homeschool too, that school is largely training people how to be obedient

378
00:27:23,264 --> 00:27:25,864
workers, right? It's an indoctrination process.

379
00:27:26,024 --> 00:27:31,944
It's really not teaching them to think for themselves, to ask questions, right?

380
00:27:32,064 --> 00:27:36,324
You know, it's poo-pooed to ask, you know, outside the box questions.

381
00:27:36,364 --> 00:27:39,704
It has to be within this same frame that they want you to stay in.

382
00:27:39,804 --> 00:27:43,044
And yeah, I definitely agree with that. I also loved what you said that,

383
00:27:43,064 --> 00:27:47,284
you know, when you make priorities, that will determine your decisions.

384
00:27:47,484 --> 00:27:50,704
That's totally, that's how I always feel when we're talking about stuff.

385
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:55,483
I had to give up my career as an editor for NASDAQ for many years out in Los

386
00:27:55,483 --> 00:27:58,203
Angeles. Actually, I lived for a long time and then came to Florida.

387
00:27:58,423 --> 00:28:02,423
And so when we got married, it was tough giving all that up.

388
00:28:03,043 --> 00:28:05,763
And then I had to realize like my ego was caught up in that,

389
00:28:05,843 --> 00:28:07,623
you know, it was an ego choice too.

390
00:28:08,343 --> 00:28:13,083
And I mean, that was huge. So I totally respect that you said that because I

391
00:28:13,083 --> 00:28:16,863
think that sometimes you aren't taught that in school, but there's also such

392
00:28:16,863 --> 00:28:19,283
a lack of respect for stay stay-at-home moms.

393
00:28:19,743 --> 00:28:24,383
Okay. So I'd love to drill down on that for just a minute because you really

394
00:28:24,383 --> 00:28:26,403
bring up a very important point.

395
00:28:26,543 --> 00:28:30,283
Your ego was caught up in it. So this is what happens because of school.

396
00:28:30,463 --> 00:28:34,723
And this is why I am so adamant about my views about school.

397
00:28:35,283 --> 00:28:40,543
School teaches you college prep and career readiness is the ultimate aim for the soul.

398
00:28:40,963 --> 00:28:43,703
Okay. Your job is to make money. money

399
00:28:43,703 --> 00:28:46,543
that's your identity so you as

400
00:28:46,543 --> 00:28:50,183
an editor for nasdaq that was your identity that was

401
00:28:50,183 --> 00:28:53,163
your whole value was your money earning potential was your

402
00:28:53,163 --> 00:28:56,183
value that's what you were indoctrinated to believe

403
00:28:56,183 --> 00:28:59,903
and you know we we're talking about the indoctrination of children today oh

404
00:28:59,903 --> 00:29:04,703
how dare you indoctrinate the child today right guess what we've all been indoctrinated

405
00:29:04,703 --> 00:29:09,403
because we went through k the k through 12 so you were indoctrinated to believe

406
00:29:09,403 --> 00:29:14,663
that your value was tied to your job And if you stepped away from your job,

407
00:29:14,903 --> 00:29:17,423
you were making a big sacrifice.

408
00:29:18,063 --> 00:29:24,043
Yeah, who am I? By the way, you were also likely indoctrinated to believe that sacrifice is bad.

409
00:29:24,283 --> 00:29:26,463
Sacrifice is a dirty word.

410
00:29:26,863 --> 00:29:29,263
Sacrifice is only the giving up of.

411
00:29:30,063 --> 00:29:35,683
But the Christian idea of sacrifice is the getting of.

412
00:29:36,443 --> 00:29:43,703
Jesus sacrificed his life for humanity, not for nothing. And so when we sacrifice,

413
00:29:43,803 --> 00:29:46,083
we sacrifice for something.

414
00:29:46,323 --> 00:29:50,223
I gave up my career. Sure. For what? For my family.

415
00:29:50,903 --> 00:29:55,503
There, you can't put a price tag on that. You can't put a value on that. It's beyond value.

416
00:29:56,648 --> 00:30:01,328
And so we have to really step outside of our own indoctrination,

417
00:30:01,468 --> 00:30:08,108
the way that we were taught to think, that we are intrinsically only our identity as a worker.

418
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:12,188
And I mean, that's blasphemy, right?

419
00:30:12,388 --> 00:30:15,948
That's not valuing the soul. That's only valuing the physical,

420
00:30:16,128 --> 00:30:19,088
material, productive individual.

421
00:30:19,608 --> 00:30:23,848
That's a horrible thing to do to a child. And it was done to you,

422
00:30:23,928 --> 00:30:27,828
right? And so you finally said, wait a minute, I have to set my priorities.

423
00:30:27,888 --> 00:30:30,108
My family is actually more important than my job.

424
00:30:30,588 --> 00:30:33,808
Imagine that. That's crazy. I guess I'm crazy.

425
00:30:34,088 --> 00:30:39,508
And you're saying, well, we don't value moms who work inside the home, the mom.

426
00:30:39,688 --> 00:30:43,628
Of course we don't value her. It goes against their value system,

427
00:30:43,688 --> 00:30:46,788
but their values are not our traditional values.

428
00:30:47,068 --> 00:30:51,208
They've They've installed an entirely different value system.

429
00:30:51,448 --> 00:30:56,548
And this is why we're seeing our entire culture go down the tubes,

430
00:30:56,608 --> 00:30:59,328
because their value system is tied to the dollar.

431
00:31:00,328 --> 00:31:03,928
And therefore, you'll sacrifice your children, you'll sacrifice your honor,

432
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:09,048
your virtue, your own sense of self, you'll sacrifice for the almighty dollar.

433
00:31:09,568 --> 00:31:13,348
You'll sacrifice your bodily autonomy. You have to get the shot.

434
00:31:13,348 --> 00:31:18,148
But if you want to keep your job, you'll sacrifice your bodily autonomy to keep

435
00:31:18,148 --> 00:31:22,388
your job, your, quote, job, which is actually your identity, right?

436
00:31:22,488 --> 00:31:25,868
And that's all because of their indoctrination in the schools.

437
00:31:26,108 --> 00:31:29,048
That's why children don't belong in school. If you love your children,

438
00:31:29,188 --> 00:31:30,228
do not put them in school.

439
00:31:30,888 --> 00:31:35,528
So when did you, did you ever put your children in public school or anything like that?

440
00:31:36,068 --> 00:31:40,888
Yes. You said up until second grade. And then what was, how did that happen?

441
00:31:40,888 --> 00:31:43,448
How did you decide that that was not going to work?

442
00:31:44,702 --> 00:31:49,782
Well, our second grade class was the worst class the school had had,

443
00:31:49,922 --> 00:31:55,402
which got, thank God I was exposed to like the worst possible situation so that

444
00:31:55,402 --> 00:31:58,882
I could go, oh yeah, this is not working and be sure of it. Right.

445
00:31:59,262 --> 00:32:02,842
And as well as my son was doing, I was not satisfied.

446
00:32:03,082 --> 00:32:08,102
I did not like hearing that she sat him next to the, the poorly behaved child

447
00:32:08,102 --> 00:32:11,862
so that he could help get her off off her back.

448
00:32:12,122 --> 00:32:17,942
You know what I mean? My son was the good kid, but also there was stuff that

449
00:32:17,942 --> 00:32:21,502
was coming home from school just from the other kids and stuff that I didn't appreciate,

450
00:32:21,682 --> 00:32:25,802
which is another reason why your children should not associate with any child

451
00:32:25,802 --> 00:32:31,282
you don't know or any child whose parents you aren't fully familiar with because

452
00:32:31,282 --> 00:32:35,482
the stuff that the kids are getting access to today is very dangerous stuff

453
00:32:35,482 --> 00:32:37,202
and they will spread it like wildfire.

454
00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:41,342
If you don't keep a lid on that, your children will be exposed to things that

455
00:32:41,342 --> 00:32:42,902
you do not want them exposed to.

456
00:32:43,082 --> 00:32:46,922
And so I just, after second grade, I said, you know, this just isn't working.

457
00:32:47,062 --> 00:32:50,602
And I said to Kevin, I think if I fail at homeschooling, he'll still be better off.

458
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:54,542
And I still hold that to be true. If all you do is pull your children out of

459
00:32:54,542 --> 00:32:58,042
school and you do nothing else for them except keep them off electronics.

460
00:32:58,442 --> 00:33:00,642
They will end up better off than kids in school.

461
00:33:00,982 --> 00:33:05,202
There's no doubt in my mind with everything that's going on in the schools today

462
00:33:05,202 --> 00:33:07,582
and everything that the children are being exposed to.

463
00:33:07,842 --> 00:33:12,362
But I will say this. I thought, what's the harm? My second and third children

464
00:33:12,362 --> 00:33:14,882
can both go to the public school kindergarten.

465
00:33:15,242 --> 00:33:18,782
It's free. It's like a playroom. They'll just have some fun.

466
00:33:18,842 --> 00:33:19,742
They'll learn their letters.

467
00:33:19,882 --> 00:33:24,022
And what's the harm, right? It's half day. Like, really? And it's cute.

468
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:26,522
The teachers are sweet and they're lovely and whatever.

469
00:33:27,102 --> 00:33:28,842
It took 10 years.

470
00:33:29,948 --> 00:33:34,708
My daughter to figure out and tell me that in fact, it was in kindergarten where

471
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:38,908
she learned that she was stupid and that's why she could never hear how bright she was from me.

472
00:33:39,108 --> 00:33:42,328
So my daughter is not your standard learner.

473
00:33:42,608 --> 00:33:46,848
She learns differently. Her brain works very differently than other people's

474
00:33:46,848 --> 00:33:52,108
brains, which makes her brilliant in ways that you and I can't fathom.

475
00:33:52,328 --> 00:33:54,868
A pretty bright person.

476
00:33:55,388 --> 00:34:02,448
She beats me by a mile. It's crazy the way I love math, right?

477
00:34:02,608 --> 00:34:03,808
She thinks differently.

478
00:34:04,028 --> 00:34:08,928
So because she didn't conform and she didn't conform in kindergarten,

479
00:34:09,188 --> 00:34:10,908
that's where she learned that she was stupid.

480
00:34:11,268 --> 00:34:15,768
So I mean, the idea, and by the way, it was a nothing burger.

481
00:34:16,048 --> 00:34:19,768
It was, she didn't read the sight words as well as the kid before her,

482
00:34:19,808 --> 00:34:23,528
the class laughed at her, and that's where she learned she was stupid. It was a nothing burger.

483
00:34:23,848 --> 00:34:28,248
And I'm just trying to warn parents, you have no idea what's going on in the classroom.

484
00:34:28,468 --> 00:34:32,128
It could be nothing and it will affect them for the rest of their lives.

485
00:34:32,588 --> 00:34:37,068
Wouldn't you rather be the one to make the mistake, to know that the mistake

486
00:34:37,068 --> 00:34:38,608
was made, to be able to fix,

487
00:34:38,828 --> 00:34:44,988
redeem the mistake before it gets to be 10 years later down the line when now

488
00:34:44,988 --> 00:34:48,748
I'm realizing that every time I told my daughter her how clever she was.

489
00:34:49,008 --> 00:34:52,548
She thought I was lying to her.

490
00:34:54,208 --> 00:34:58,448
Right? It's crazy. And that was one year of kindergarten.

491
00:34:58,868 --> 00:35:03,928
Wow. Both our boys are Asperger's. And so our son in about fourth grade,

492
00:35:04,768 --> 00:35:09,468
they both went to private school and he was being bullied really bad.

493
00:35:09,648 --> 00:35:14,628
And it started to change who who he was, you know, and that was the biggest

494
00:35:14,628 --> 00:35:18,068
indicator to us. Like, no, we can't do this because it's changing him.

495
00:35:18,468 --> 00:35:23,728
And, you know, he still holds a bit of that, you know, where he does feel inferior

496
00:35:23,728 --> 00:35:27,428
at times that I can tell, but it was all from that, you know,

497
00:35:27,428 --> 00:35:31,668
and you spend so much time trying to undo all that damage, you know, and our other son,

498
00:35:31,828 --> 00:35:35,268
he was literally so obsessed with getting his work done.

499
00:35:35,308 --> 00:35:39,168
He would never even go out for lunch in recess for years.

500
00:35:39,328 --> 00:35:41,928
And the teachers would be like, he's so studious. No, that's not good.

501
00:35:42,428 --> 00:35:46,088
There's an indicator that something else is, he should be wanting to play with other kids.

502
00:35:46,708 --> 00:35:50,528
And they're like, no, but the thing is with them, what we have to understand

503
00:35:50,528 --> 00:35:54,308
is that the school's goal, the teacher's goal in the classroom.

504
00:35:54,408 --> 00:35:58,268
Now I'm speaking in generalizations. Okay.

505
00:35:58,628 --> 00:36:03,488
So, so don't come at me with, well, this teacher is really fabulous because

506
00:36:03,488 --> 00:36:06,168
she does whatever. Generally Generally speaking.

507
00:36:07,523 --> 00:36:14,763
Teachers go to teaching colleges. They learn how to, I don't know, to speak to students.

508
00:36:15,003 --> 00:36:19,323
But their main focus is classroom management, is behavior management.

509
00:36:19,803 --> 00:36:23,003
Your boy sat at his desk. He didn't even go outside for recess.

510
00:36:23,143 --> 00:36:25,023
What a brilliant child. He's perfect.

511
00:36:25,343 --> 00:36:29,303
I love him because he doesn't cause me any hassle. He does all of his work.

512
00:36:29,443 --> 00:36:33,643
He's a good example for all the kids. Never mind that they're bullying him while

513
00:36:33,643 --> 00:36:34,843
he's being a good example.

514
00:36:35,103 --> 00:36:39,323
Do you know what I'm saying? saying she's just happy that he's doing what she needs him to do.

515
00:36:39,743 --> 00:36:44,763
But at the start of the conversation, you said they're really trying to just

516
00:36:44,763 --> 00:36:46,983
make your children obey and follow directions.

517
00:36:47,343 --> 00:36:51,083
And here's the problem that we have. Our entire culture now,

518
00:36:51,243 --> 00:36:53,343
K through 12, we've all been K through 12.

519
00:36:53,503 --> 00:36:58,743
We've all been under-parented and over-schooled. And so now we are in a trust

520
00:36:58,743 --> 00:37:00,443
the experts phenomenon.

521
00:37:01,183 --> 00:37:06,083
That's what we just went through, where nobody even questioned two weeks to flatten the curve.

522
00:37:06,683 --> 00:37:10,583
Another two weeks to, I don't know what, slow the spread, right?

523
00:37:10,803 --> 00:37:13,323
Slow the spread. Nobody said, well, why not speed the spread?

524
00:37:13,543 --> 00:37:16,883
I don't know. I mean, I'm just asking, like, who said slow the spread?

525
00:37:17,283 --> 00:37:21,203
Where did that come from? Where's the data that slowing the spread is better

526
00:37:21,203 --> 00:37:22,743
than speeding the spread, right?

527
00:37:22,903 --> 00:37:26,343
But nobody asked any questions because trust the experts.

528
00:37:26,563 --> 00:37:29,483
We were asking questions. We wrote a book about it, but yes.

529
00:37:30,463 --> 00:37:32,123
You're absolutely right.

530
00:37:32,123 --> 00:37:36,163
And of course, generally speaking, people were, and there were some people who

531
00:37:36,163 --> 00:37:39,203
asked about, I mean, I remember going into a store and there was a gal in the

532
00:37:39,203 --> 00:37:45,323
store and she was like looking through things and she had one of those masks on that was like this.

533
00:37:46,103 --> 00:37:50,703
It looked like it was sort of a mask, but you could tell it was like very large screen.

534
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:54,363
Right. And I just looked at her and I said, take the mask off.

535
00:37:54,463 --> 00:37:57,523
You're not fooling anybody. Why are you wearing it? Right.

536
00:37:58,495 --> 00:38:03,875
But we're too afraid to make a stand, so we cheat. And that's how they win.

537
00:38:03,995 --> 00:38:05,695
They get us to lie and cheat.

538
00:38:07,795 --> 00:38:12,035
So where's the win? They're still winning. So don't lie. Don't cheat.

539
00:38:12,195 --> 00:38:13,895
Stand up for what you believe instead.

540
00:38:14,355 --> 00:38:17,935
But we're not taught to stand for what we believe. We are taught in school.

541
00:38:18,155 --> 00:38:21,215
There are four main things that we're taught in school.

542
00:38:22,115 --> 00:38:26,695
Don't ask, why do I say that? Because this, this is a barrier to entry.

543
00:38:26,695 --> 00:38:30,595
And we're taught first day of school, you have to sit down, shut up.

544
00:38:31,395 --> 00:38:35,195
Don't ask a question unless you first get permission. So don't ask.

545
00:38:36,155 --> 00:38:40,835
Don't try because failure's bad. And if you fail, you'll get a red F and the

546
00:38:40,835 --> 00:38:43,355
class will laugh at you. So failure's bad. So don't try.

547
00:38:44,335 --> 00:38:49,015
Don't think because the teacher just wants you to regurgitate what she told you on the test.

548
00:38:49,395 --> 00:38:55,315
Don't try to think outside. Don't question the teacher about what the rule is

549
00:38:55,315 --> 00:38:58,815
is or what the fact is, just regurgitate.

550
00:38:59,035 --> 00:39:01,875
So that's don't think. And then the final one is don't read.

551
00:39:02,255 --> 00:39:04,435
Teacher read the book. She's telling you what's in the book.

552
00:39:04,495 --> 00:39:06,535
You don't have to read the book, right?

553
00:39:06,655 --> 00:39:10,475
And that's why we all think we're incapable of home educating because we don't

554
00:39:10,475 --> 00:39:11,455
know how to read the book.

555
00:39:11,855 --> 00:39:15,615
It's all there in the book. The lesson is right there in the book.

556
00:39:15,695 --> 00:39:19,475
All you literally, you just read the lesson and learn it. That's how you learn it.

557
00:39:19,835 --> 00:39:24,095
And so if you teach your child nothing but that, they'll be able to teach themselves

558
00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:25,715
whatever they want for the rest of their lives.

559
00:39:26,615 --> 00:39:29,735
Yeah, you brought up a great point about indoctrination. People don't realize

560
00:39:29,735 --> 00:39:33,575
that public school system is actually the 10th pillar of communism,

561
00:39:33,855 --> 00:39:37,815
which reads... How many pillars of communism are there?

562
00:39:38,295 --> 00:39:44,435
10 pillars of communism. And number 10 is free education for all children in public schools.

563
00:39:45,295 --> 00:39:49,515
Abolition of children's factory labor is in its present form a combination of

564
00:39:49,515 --> 00:39:55,495
education and industrial production, what they do, they do indoctrinate. Yeah. Yeah.

565
00:39:56,415 --> 00:39:59,815
Familiar. So if you, if you look at the communist 45, um.

566
00:40:00,745 --> 00:40:06,345
They've achieved, basically, they've achieved them all. But number 17 is get control of the schools.

567
00:40:06,485 --> 00:40:09,645
Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda.

568
00:40:10,325 --> 00:40:14,745
Soften the curriculum. Soften. What does that mean, right?

569
00:40:14,965 --> 00:40:20,885
What soften the curriculum means is make communism sound more like Grandpa with

570
00:40:20,885 --> 00:40:27,385
Candy and less like the hard fist of control tyranny that it is, right?

571
00:40:27,485 --> 00:40:30,125
Get control of teachers associations. Check.

572
00:40:30,745 --> 00:40:32,965
Put the party line in textbooks, check.

573
00:40:33,825 --> 00:40:37,305
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression, this is number 28,

574
00:40:37,505 --> 00:40:42,105
or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates

575
00:40:42,105 --> 00:40:44,745
the principle of separation of church and state, check.

576
00:40:45,165 --> 00:40:48,565
And so I'm just pointing out, yeah, they're done.

577
00:40:49,145 --> 00:40:52,665
I only know the 45. I don't know the 10 pillars, but the 45,

578
00:40:53,065 --> 00:40:55,225
they've done basically all 45.

579
00:40:55,865 --> 00:40:59,365
Well, when you even look at the Pledge of Allegiance, right, Right.

580
00:41:00,045 --> 00:41:03,265
That's a form of indoctrination. People, of course, well, it's patriotic.

581
00:41:03,345 --> 00:41:10,165
Well, go go back and recite the Pledge of Allegiance where they're your allegiance to the system.

582
00:41:10,265 --> 00:41:15,105
You know, here's the thing. You you you shouldn't be against indoctrination.

583
00:41:16,005 --> 00:41:21,925
That's education. Education is the indwelling of doctrine into the child.

584
00:41:22,005 --> 00:41:22,905
That's what education is.

585
00:41:23,465 --> 00:41:27,925
The problem is when the doctrine is false, which communism is,

586
00:41:27,925 --> 00:41:30,005
which what they are doing in the schools is.

587
00:41:30,165 --> 00:41:35,085
When we took the Bible out of schools, we didn't make schools irreligious,

588
00:41:35,105 --> 00:41:40,745
which by the way, irreligious is like one of the fastest growing religions in

589
00:41:40,745 --> 00:41:42,945
the world, according to Wikipedia.

590
00:41:43,525 --> 00:41:49,725
The point being that secularism is its own religion. So we didn't make non-religious schools.

591
00:41:50,065 --> 00:41:54,185
We just made schools that don't worship the one true God.

592
00:41:55,380 --> 00:41:58,360
They are now indoctrinating the children with their doctrines.

593
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:03,240
But we are called to indoctrinate our children with the proper doctrine,

594
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:05,500
with truth. And here's the joy.

595
00:42:06,020 --> 00:42:10,880
If all you do is take your kids out of school and read the Bible with them every

596
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,200
day for 15 minutes, I'm not asking for more than that.

597
00:42:14,340 --> 00:42:17,940
It's literally 15 minutes of Bible reading every day.

598
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,280
They will learn truth and And they will love it so much that they will go far

599
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,720
beyond what you've ever done with your life.

600
00:42:27,460 --> 00:42:32,700
That's what happens to kids when they get truth. They cling to it. They love it so much.

601
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:39,080
And I did not know this with my kids. My kids taught me this because for whatever

602
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,600
reason, I thought we should read the Bible every day.

603
00:42:42,220 --> 00:42:45,660
I didn't grow up with the Bible. So what did I know? But we sat down and read

604
00:42:45,660 --> 00:42:47,940
the Bible every day and they would read out loud.

605
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,460
I'd read out loud and we talk a little bit about it. And I'm kidding you not,

606
00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:55,940
less than half an hour every day, basically every day. If we skipped a day,

607
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,660
we skipped a day. It wasn't like the end of the world. We weren't on any kind of timeline.

608
00:43:00,220 --> 00:43:02,900
I didn't like say, okay, we got to get through the book of John by,

609
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,820
you know, February 12th or whatever.

610
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,140
And we just read the Bible. We just, we flipped around in the Bible.

611
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,480
We read the book of John and then we said, oh, let's do, you know, I don't know, Job.

612
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:17,440
Let's do Job now. We'll do Job. We just bopped around the Bible, but they got truth.

613
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:22,180
They're more fervent than I am. They're more dedicated than I am.

614
00:43:22,540 --> 00:43:27,700
They understand truth, maybe not more than me.

615
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:36,360
I'd hate to say that I don't, you know, but I am humbled by their staunch stance.

616
00:43:37,862 --> 00:43:43,622
That's awesome, Sam. That's incredible. I need to ask the question, the Sam Sorbo Show.

617
00:43:43,782 --> 00:43:46,282
Tell us about that. Oh, this thing?

618
00:43:47,002 --> 00:43:51,502
Thanks for asking. So I started a new show about three weeks ago.

619
00:43:51,562 --> 00:43:54,662
This is the end of my third week called the Sam Sorbo Show.

620
00:43:54,782 --> 00:43:58,162
That way I don't forget what it's called. It's on Patriot.TV,

621
00:43:58,342 --> 00:44:02,562
which is General Mike Flynn's new endeavor.

622
00:44:03,102 --> 00:44:06,802
It's very exciting. Actually, today, well, I don't know when this airs,

623
00:44:06,822 --> 00:44:10,162
but today and tomorrow we're having our Patriot TV launch party.

624
00:44:10,482 --> 00:44:14,602
And so we're going to have all the hosts and just hanging out chatting about

625
00:44:14,602 --> 00:44:18,722
the point. And the point of Patriot TV is to discuss truth.

626
00:44:19,002 --> 00:44:22,582
I believe that we learn in the exchange.

627
00:44:23,002 --> 00:44:26,482
So just as in wealth is created in the exchange.

628
00:44:27,102 --> 00:44:29,142
You're familiar with that concept, right?

629
00:44:29,802 --> 00:44:36,642
Yes. This is what made the United States the greatest wealth engine,

630
00:44:36,762 --> 00:44:40,462
was the free exchange. We had a free economy.

631
00:44:41,322 --> 00:44:44,102
A little bit less so now. Hopefully, we'll get it back a little bit.

632
00:44:44,762 --> 00:44:50,902
So the free exchange. And the free exchange of ideas is what creates a growth

633
00:44:50,902 --> 00:44:52,822
in knowledge and understanding.

634
00:44:52,822 --> 00:44:58,682
And that is why the left seeks to shut down the free exchange of ideas with

635
00:44:58,682 --> 00:45:02,622
their safe spaces and their la-la-la-la-la, I can't hear you,

636
00:45:02,682 --> 00:45:04,582
and their censorship on social media.

637
00:45:05,082 --> 00:45:10,982
Because it's not because they're against the truth as it is because they understand

638
00:45:10,982 --> 00:45:15,562
that if you add truth into the mix, some people will improve.

639
00:45:16,062 --> 00:45:21,202
Some people's understanding will improve. And they seek impoverishment for all.

640
00:45:21,202 --> 00:45:27,382
And so they can't allow a prosperity of knowledge or ideas to form.

641
00:45:27,942 --> 00:45:33,082
So that's the focus of Patriot.TV.

642
00:45:33,202 --> 00:45:37,142
I've got some phenomenal other hosts who are part of the lineup.

643
00:45:37,222 --> 00:45:42,742
Jason Lewis, who used to sub for Rush a lot, is my lead in. That's exciting.

644
00:45:42,902 --> 00:45:46,562
It's on every day at 7 p.m. Eastern or 6 p.m. Central.

645
00:45:47,082 --> 00:45:51,042
Now, you had your podcast before that. And so here you are, your mom,

646
00:45:51,082 --> 00:45:52,082
you're raising your family.

647
00:45:52,162 --> 00:45:55,642
And when did you really become an education advocate? a kid.

648
00:45:56,622 --> 00:46:01,562
Okay. It wasn't long after I started home educating my kids or homes.

649
00:46:01,622 --> 00:46:06,222
I should say I homeschooled them, which was my mistake, but it wasn't long after

650
00:46:06,222 --> 00:46:07,322
I started homeschooling them.

651
00:46:07,402 --> 00:46:12,022
So maybe, maybe a year or two, I just be just talking to other people.

652
00:46:12,062 --> 00:46:14,442
And then I realized, you know, I had a lot to share.

653
00:46:14,762 --> 00:46:19,202
I had already started blogging about it. I decided to blog about it when I first

654
00:46:19,202 --> 00:46:23,662
got underway, just as a way to help other people.

655
00:46:23,722 --> 00:46:28,742
If, if maybe my mistakes stakes would help other people or my triumphs might help somebody learn.

656
00:46:29,242 --> 00:46:33,402
And then as time went on, I realized this is what I realized.

657
00:46:34,801 --> 00:46:41,281
They are robbing our culture of the family unit. They've been doing it for decades and decades.

658
00:46:41,841 --> 00:46:48,221
They've been doing it since school started, basically, since the first public

659
00:46:48,221 --> 00:46:50,501
school, the first government school.

660
00:46:51,101 --> 00:46:56,621
And I'm not saying that everybody who was involved had nefarious intentions,

661
00:46:56,881 --> 00:47:02,401
but there there are players who came onto the scene who co-opted the schools

662
00:47:02,401 --> 00:47:04,581
for nefarious intentions.

663
00:47:05,241 --> 00:47:10,221
So we ought to be calling them factory schools because that's essentially what

664
00:47:10,221 --> 00:47:15,541
they were designed to do, create factory workers who didn't question authority,

665
00:47:15,881 --> 00:47:20,521
who did their jobs and went home and didn't gripe about it.

666
00:47:20,581 --> 00:47:23,621
That's basically what they were enacted to do.

667
00:47:24,601 --> 00:47:28,401
Now we just call call them child prisons, but that's my kids.

668
00:47:29,221 --> 00:47:37,041
So the idea is, you know, we have to get away from this idea that school has

669
00:47:37,041 --> 00:47:39,361
something right about it.

670
00:47:39,461 --> 00:47:43,541
And so what we're doing is we're abandoning the building, but we're still going

671
00:47:43,541 --> 00:47:49,861
to keep the ideas behind school because the ideas are are perverted. The ideas are corrupt.

672
00:47:50,601 --> 00:47:57,741
And so we have to get back to what education really is. To that end, I'll show you this book.

673
00:47:58,101 --> 00:48:00,061
So I wrote the playbook for home learning.

674
00:48:00,481 --> 00:48:03,521
This is actually, it's a workbook. I don't know if you can see,

675
00:48:03,601 --> 00:48:05,921
but it's got like blank pages and stuff.

676
00:48:06,641 --> 00:48:11,701
It's a workbook that I developed based on a conference that I, that I did.

677
00:48:12,161 --> 00:48:18,321
And for the the workbook, I put together 15 videos. So you get the workbook and the 15 video series.

678
00:48:19,786 --> 00:48:27,526
It basically takes you out of the school paradigm and asks you to consider what

679
00:48:27,526 --> 00:48:33,426
future you envision for your child and then design a path to get them there.

680
00:48:33,906 --> 00:48:40,926
That's education. Education really is raising a child into adulthood.

681
00:48:41,426 --> 00:48:46,546
Well, do you know how to adult? Yes, you are adults. You have a job,

682
00:48:46,546 --> 00:48:48,926
You make a living. You're raising a family.

683
00:48:49,046 --> 00:48:52,166
You're the culmination of what an education is.

684
00:48:52,746 --> 00:48:58,286
Why can't you impart that, the best part of you, right, to your children?

685
00:48:58,846 --> 00:49:02,106
This is what being an adult is.

686
00:49:02,606 --> 00:49:06,946
And it takes years because we grow so slowly as human beings.

687
00:49:07,166 --> 00:49:09,986
I mean, we're not like other mammals. We take a long time to mature.

688
00:49:10,586 --> 00:49:16,966
So how do you engage a child into maturity? and to that end,

689
00:49:16,986 --> 00:49:19,686
I say, parents, you're the curriculum.

690
00:49:20,406 --> 00:49:25,026
It's not more complicated than that. Sure, you've been taught that if your child

691
00:49:25,026 --> 00:49:28,526
doesn't know calculus by the age of 12, he's a loser.

692
00:49:29,206 --> 00:49:33,886
That's a lie. If your child needs to know calculus, if you do it right,

693
00:49:34,006 --> 00:49:36,346
he'll go teach himself calculus when it's time.

694
00:49:37,686 --> 00:49:42,286
Things like that. So that's what I cover in the the Playbook for Home Learning.

695
00:49:42,506 --> 00:49:48,766
Oh, and also I've developed a new resource for parents who may be just embarking on homeschooling.

696
00:49:48,906 --> 00:49:52,106
It's called the Homeschool Starter Gift Set.

697
00:49:52,906 --> 00:49:57,146
And it actually combines this book. I have them here.

698
00:49:57,486 --> 00:50:01,286
This book, I didn't write this book, but I wish I had. 50 Things Every Child

699
00:50:01,286 --> 00:50:04,666
Should Know Before Leaving Home. It's a brilliant book. It's absolutely gorgeous.

700
00:50:05,026 --> 00:50:09,006
And it goes through the things that you want your child to know about that they

701
00:50:09,006 --> 00:50:11,266
would would never learn in school, like how to be charitable,

702
00:50:11,506 --> 00:50:18,706
how to change a tire, how to be a human being, how to love people,

703
00:50:19,126 --> 00:50:23,606
how to behave at a funeral or whatever, like how to be a human being.

704
00:50:23,866 --> 00:50:27,966
This book sort of goes into a little bit more depth of that.

705
00:50:28,086 --> 00:50:29,886
And it's very well organized.

706
00:50:30,286 --> 00:50:35,446
It's almost a checklist. There's space for note-taking and stuff.

707
00:50:35,566 --> 00:50:42,306
And so you get one for the parent for each child because you dedicate the book to each child.

708
00:50:42,426 --> 00:50:44,806
And that way, when the child is ready to leave home, you're like,

709
00:50:44,906 --> 00:50:48,206
well, we did it. Yay, you're ready. You know, that kind of a thing.

710
00:50:48,446 --> 00:50:51,826
So that's part of it. This one I wrote is Teach from Love.

711
00:50:51,886 --> 00:50:56,606
This is a school year devotional for families teaching children virtue.

712
00:50:56,726 --> 00:50:59,426
This is a conversation that we ought to be having with our children.

713
00:50:59,586 --> 00:51:02,406
What is virtue? Why are we virtuous?

714
00:51:02,666 --> 00:51:06,786
Why don't we lie? Now, the schools would have you believe that lying is perfectly

715
00:51:06,786 --> 00:51:08,806
acceptable if it benefits you.

716
00:51:09,146 --> 00:51:14,046
Survival of the fittest and all that, right? But we know that that's a terrible thing to tell a child.

717
00:51:14,386 --> 00:51:17,326
But why? How do you teach a child not to lie?

718
00:51:18,301 --> 00:51:22,501
So that's in this. And then this one, this was my first book,

719
00:51:22,641 --> 00:51:25,121
They're Your Kids, An Inspirational Journey from Self-Doubter.

720
00:51:25,481 --> 00:51:28,681
That's me. To Homeschool Advocate, also me.

721
00:51:28,901 --> 00:51:35,121
And so that's sort of my journey. This is a why you should homeschool and how easy it is book, I say.

722
00:51:35,241 --> 00:51:39,321
So it's those four books. And then it's a bunch of other resources that I've

723
00:51:39,321 --> 00:51:42,261
assembled to get people on their way.

724
00:51:42,261 --> 00:51:47,401
I've got some starter curriculum so you can try it out from some of my favorite

725
00:51:47,401 --> 00:51:54,061
curricula suppliers and some other things, some neat toys and games that you do with your family.

726
00:51:54,121 --> 00:51:57,961
Oh, it also has our movie. Did Kevin talk to you guys about Miracle in East Texas?

727
00:51:58,361 --> 00:52:02,561
Yes, a little bit. So this movie is coming out again in theaters for Easter.

728
00:52:02,781 --> 00:52:04,701
I'm actually really excited about that.

729
00:52:04,981 --> 00:52:09,701
So people can actually see it in the theaters again or if they missed it the first time.

730
00:52:09,701 --> 00:52:14,941
But because this movie is based on an absolutely true story,

731
00:52:15,101 --> 00:52:21,481
even though it's a comedy, it's a true story about the greatest oil strike in

732
00:52:21,481 --> 00:52:24,461
the history of the world during the Depression in Texas.

733
00:52:24,861 --> 00:52:28,781
It's an incredible story. So I developed a curriculum to go along with it.

734
00:52:29,101 --> 00:52:34,061
And it's a simple curriculum. It takes maybe an hour, you talking with your kids.

735
00:52:34,201 --> 00:52:39,161
But I want to expose parents to this idea that they have so much to offer their children.

736
00:52:39,701 --> 00:52:45,961
I want them to compare themselves to the 22-year-old newly graduated teaching student.

737
00:52:46,521 --> 00:52:51,281
You have so much more to offer your children than a newly graduated teaching

738
00:52:51,281 --> 00:52:57,501
student and than many of the teachers out there. Why are you selling yourself so short?

739
00:52:57,801 --> 00:53:02,361
And it's because you've been indoctrinated to think that you're useless when

740
00:53:02,361 --> 00:53:04,281
it comes to the education of your child.

741
00:53:05,401 --> 00:53:09,401
Are those on brave books

742
00:53:09,401 --> 00:53:12,381
can you get all that stuff where do you get through those resources

743
00:53:12,381 --> 00:53:17,381
sorbostudios.com so brave books is a completely separate entity and that's that's

744
00:53:17,381 --> 00:53:23,361
a book that kevin did with brave they they supply children's books really good

745
00:53:23,361 --> 00:53:28,501
children's books highly recommend them but the homeschool starter gift set is

746
00:53:28,501 --> 00:53:31,821
only a sorbo studios production,

747
00:53:34,001 --> 00:53:36,461
Well, you know, go ahead, Doc.

748
00:54:01,821 --> 00:54:07,601
And I'm trying to get them out of New York and try to get them to,

749
00:54:07,621 --> 00:54:11,601
I'm talking to my daughter about homeschooling. Obviously she has skills to

750
00:54:11,601 --> 00:54:14,421
do so, but those, that those resources be great.

751
00:54:15,709 --> 00:54:19,149
So, and we know you also, we've been able to listen to your regular podcast

752
00:54:19,149 --> 00:54:20,749
quite a few times as well.

753
00:54:20,849 --> 00:54:24,389
So tell us about that show and some of the guests that you have on there.

754
00:54:24,469 --> 00:54:28,009
Because, I mean, people that listen to us like to, a lot of times they pick

755
00:54:28,009 --> 00:54:32,249
through to the different subjects, you know, that might, you know, hit a hot button.

756
00:54:32,369 --> 00:54:35,649
So what are some of the people that you've had on your show and topics that

757
00:54:35,649 --> 00:54:37,869
you discuss in the, uh, your regular podcast?

758
00:54:38,549 --> 00:54:45,929
Well, my podcast is now sort of morphed into the Sam Sorbo show on patriot.tv. I still do the podcast.

759
00:54:46,589 --> 00:54:51,269
It's basically I'm taking one Patriot show a week and putting it out as the

760
00:54:51,269 --> 00:54:53,729
podcast because, frankly, it's a lot.

761
00:54:53,929 --> 00:54:59,209
But the podcast that I was doing, I was interviewing, forgive me,

762
00:54:59,289 --> 00:55:03,009
people that interested me, people who are in the fight for truth and the fight

763
00:55:03,009 --> 00:55:07,109
for freedom. I was just interviewing them as as interested me.

764
00:55:07,209 --> 00:55:11,809
So I just recently had on Jordan Peterson's wife, Sean McBriarty,

765
00:55:11,829 --> 00:55:17,149
who's who's very, very in the fight for against the woke agenda in schools. tools.

766
00:55:17,529 --> 00:55:23,089
Topher Field, who is from Australia, and he was basically the face of the resistance

767
00:55:23,089 --> 00:55:29,109
to what became the biggest lockdowns in the world, the harshest lockdowns in the world.

768
00:55:29,149 --> 00:55:33,629
The Australian police in Melbourne actually started shooting rubber bullets

769
00:55:33,629 --> 00:55:38,429
against their own citizens who were peacefully protesting.

770
00:55:38,729 --> 00:55:42,629
There was no violence except from the police against the citizenry.

771
00:55:42,769 --> 00:55:46,729
And as I'm sure you know, rubber bullets are not non-lethal. they're

772
00:55:46,729 --> 00:55:49,629
just less lethal so you know so

773
00:55:49,629 --> 00:55:52,769
i for my podcast i interview

774
00:55:52,769 --> 00:55:55,969
people who interest me who are doing interesting things

775
00:55:55,969 --> 00:56:01,929
and that's basically what i'm doing on the sam sorbo show on patriot.tv it's

776
00:56:01,929 --> 00:56:06,009
a little bit more focused on just current current events always through the

777
00:56:06,009 --> 00:56:10,929
lens of education because education colors the way that we perceive the world

778
00:56:10,929 --> 00:56:15,789
so right now we're educating children to believe that they're either victims or oppressors.

779
00:56:15,829 --> 00:56:19,329
That will color the way that they see the world for the rest of their lives.

780
00:56:19,809 --> 00:56:23,889
It will be very difficult for them to get off of that position because they're

781
00:56:23,889 --> 00:56:26,369
being taught this at such a young age.

782
00:56:26,609 --> 00:56:28,849
If you're a Black child, you are oppressed.

783
00:56:29,109 --> 00:56:32,009
You're a victim and there's nothing you can do about it.

784
00:56:32,169 --> 00:56:38,989
And you have to look at every white person as an oppressor, as somebody who hates Black people.

785
00:56:39,189 --> 00:56:42,429
I mean, they are teaching abject racism in our schools today.

786
00:56:44,111 --> 00:56:51,331
Child abuse. It absolutely is. And, you know, our focus for our podcast really started in 2020.

787
00:56:51,511 --> 00:56:55,651
And of course, we had 50,000 people downloading us every month,

788
00:56:55,731 --> 00:56:59,751
and we were shut down on three platforms, three different servers in a row.

789
00:56:59,951 --> 00:57:04,931
Of course, we're all doctors that are in our podcast and talking about these things.

790
00:57:05,071 --> 00:57:09,091
So we're well aware, but we're also thankful for people like like you,

791
00:57:09,171 --> 00:57:10,671
Sam, that's putting out the truth.

792
00:57:10,951 --> 00:57:15,351
So we're really excited about your ministry. We're excited for you to come to

793
00:57:15,351 --> 00:57:18,731
Tampa and talk about, again, saving our children.

794
00:57:18,851 --> 00:57:23,411
It has to start with the parents. It has to start with education.

795
00:57:23,851 --> 00:57:30,191
And I think that that's something that God has put you in this time and place for a reason.

796
00:57:30,251 --> 00:57:34,311
So it's really exciting to see you got quite a life here.

797
00:57:34,431 --> 00:57:38,331
Now your kids are getting more grown and sounds like you're getting pretty busy

798
00:57:38,331 --> 00:57:40,091
and you got your own TV show.

799
00:57:40,271 --> 00:57:44,711
So I, I think God's going to restore back some of the things you might've had,

800
00:57:44,731 --> 00:57:50,391
you know, just take one side or the other, but I think the other side of this

801
00:57:50,391 --> 00:57:54,451
professional career is going to come back for you really strong. So, yeah.

802
00:57:54,851 --> 00:57:57,351
Well, thank you so much for having me. I've really enjoyed it.

803
00:57:57,811 --> 00:57:59,191
Any other questions, doc?

804
00:57:59,711 --> 00:58:04,471
No, I'm good. Sam, very nice to meet you. Look forward to seeing you at the conference. Me too.

805
00:58:04,771 --> 00:58:08,191
I'm looking forward to the conference. Thanks so much. Alice has got one more

806
00:58:08,191 --> 00:58:12,411
question and we also want to ask you, of course, how we can pray for you.

807
00:58:14,251 --> 00:58:18,291
Before that, I want to ask, because we asked Kevin, how did you become a Christian?

808
00:58:18,391 --> 00:58:19,431
When did you become a Christian?

809
00:58:20,311 --> 00:58:24,651
Oh, my goodness. So that's a bit of a long story. But suffice it to say,

810
00:58:25,271 --> 00:58:29,931
when I figured out that I had done what I had been taught to do to achieve happiness,

811
00:58:30,111 --> 00:58:35,111
which was to make money, I realized how wrong my education had been.

812
00:58:35,731 --> 00:58:39,571
And so I went on a search for meaning, because if that wasn't the goal,

813
00:58:39,651 --> 00:58:42,731
and clearly it wasn't, because I made money, and then then what?

814
00:58:43,331 --> 00:58:46,171
I went on a search for meaning. I found order in the universe,

815
00:58:46,271 --> 00:58:50,111
and I decided that the name for that order must be God.

816
00:58:50,491 --> 00:58:53,691
I could have called it something else, but I figured, why not?

817
00:58:54,651 --> 00:59:01,031
Call it what it is. So that's my story. Well, the Bible says that when we seek

818
00:59:01,031 --> 00:59:02,611
that truth, we will find it.

819
00:59:02,691 --> 00:59:08,371
And so we're so happy because we all feel the same way. So how can we pray for for you, Sam?

820
00:59:09,391 --> 00:59:13,711
Oh, you know what? It's very kind of you to ask. Just pray that the Holy Spirit

821
00:59:13,711 --> 00:59:16,531
gives me the words to reach people with the truth.

822
00:59:17,351 --> 00:59:22,331
It's not so much what I say, it's what they hear. And so I pray that I will

823
00:59:22,331 --> 00:59:26,791
say the things that they need to hear, in whatever way they need to hear it,

824
00:59:26,831 --> 00:59:28,391
that they would see truth.

825
00:59:29,071 --> 00:59:31,571
Right. Dr. Dennis, you want to pray us out, brother?

826
00:59:32,271 --> 00:59:37,351
Sure, God. Lord God, I just want to thank you today for this wonderful interview

827
00:59:37,351 --> 00:59:42,631
of you, Sam Sorbo, Lord, we just ask that you put your hand over her life,

828
00:59:42,831 --> 00:59:46,571
Kevin's life, their family life, keep your hand of protection over them,

829
00:59:46,631 --> 00:59:50,211
Lord, keep your Holy Spirit moving through them, Lord God, and that they would

830
00:59:50,211 --> 00:59:55,851
reach the masses with these messages that need to be heard. We ask this in Jesus' name.

831
00:59:57,092 --> 00:59:59,792
Thanks so much, Sam. Thank you. God bless you guys. And we'll be waiting for

832
00:59:59,792 --> 01:00:03,092
you. We'll see you soon. And we're going to see you in a couple weeks. Yeah.

833
01:00:03,692 --> 01:00:05,432
All right. Bye.

834
01:00:06,452 --> 01:00:11,072
Hey, folks, this is Dr. Kevin Cruz giving you another pump because guess what?

835
01:00:11,212 --> 01:00:14,212
The Supernatural Junkies are on Rumble.

836
01:00:14,332 --> 01:00:19,692
All you have to do is go to Rumble, go to search, and when you search for channels,

837
01:00:19,952 --> 01:00:24,692
you look for Supernatural Junkies, and all of our stuff is going to start popping

838
01:00:24,692 --> 01:00:27,452
up. It's great because you're going to be able to see the links.

839
01:00:27,572 --> 01:00:30,752
You'll get to see exactly why we are saying what we're saying.

840
01:00:30,852 --> 01:00:35,292
But most importantly, this is a great way to share with your family and your

841
01:00:35,292 --> 01:00:43,572
friends exactly why we are living in prophetic times and why we cannot give up access to our bodies.

842
01:00:44,432 --> 01:00:48,952
Hey folks, it's Dr. Dennis from Supernatural Junkies. I just want to talk to

843
01:00:48,952 --> 01:00:50,252
you today about protanum.

844
01:00:50,692 --> 01:00:54,232
I've been taking protanum for a few years. and you know what?

845
01:00:54,432 --> 01:00:58,832
I feel a difference. I am younger than my age. At least I think I am.

846
01:00:59,272 --> 01:01:05,892
Anyway, protandim is a strong antioxidant producer in your body because what

847
01:01:05,892 --> 01:01:10,832
it does, it causes your body to increase its glutathione production.

848
01:01:11,492 --> 01:01:15,312
And glutathione, folks, is the strongest antioxidant your body has.

849
01:01:15,612 --> 01:01:20,332
So if you want to keep strong antioxidants in your body and be a healthier you,

850
01:01:20,472 --> 01:01:22,992
I suggest you use ProTandem.

851
01:01:25,840 --> 01:02:45,198
Music.
