Thanks for listening to the time I'll review with Hugh

0:03

Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices

0:05

on the storage initiatives that

0:06

matter. Helping make it all possible as

0:09

the generous partnership with the Pepperdine graduate

0:11

school of public policy. Here's another

0:13

piece I'll trust you

0:14

enjoy. Karol Markowicz, She

0:16

is the columnist for The New York Post,

0:18

author of Stolen Youth, How

0:20

radicals are erasing innocence

0:23

and indoctrinating

0:24

a generation. Amen to that Karol.

0:26

Welcome back to the show. Great to have you with

0:28

us always.

0:29

Hi, Joe. Thanks so much for having me.

0:32

Well, congratulations on

0:34

on this book and thank you for being bold

0:36

enough to speak about it.

0:38

And and and here here's an article in Fox

0:40

News from Carol that we will retweet

0:43

your children belong to you,

0:45

not a school. If you don't fight,

0:47

you'll lose them. Carol, please

0:49

lay it out for us and God bless you for doing this.

0:52

Thank you so much. So the book traces

0:55

how this woke virus has

0:57

taken hold in so many aspects of

0:59

our society and aimed its

1:01

indoctrination at children. We

1:04

go through the COVID years, we

1:07

go through how it's happening in schools,

1:09

but we also talk about how it's coming

1:11

from published income. 70s, and medical

1:13

schools, and teachers' colleges. And

1:15

all these places have sort

1:18

of the same theme throughout

1:20

them, which is we they

1:22

they teach Leftism, and then these

1:24

people go and disperse it to your children.

1:27

But what you mean and and and

1:29

let me touch on this, if I may. Because

1:32

I keep track of what the kids learn.

1:34

And and and I if they're

1:36

taught about

1:38

gender, you and I both know every medical

1:40

doctor on this planet knows there's two genders,

1:42

men and women. And you

1:44

can't say that. You but how do

1:46

you and you're absolutely right. You're absolutely

1:48

right. Like, I I am trying to win

1:51

up to your to your point, Karol, just I I'm

1:53

not to sound like you know, a

1:55

overconcerned dad, but as I but I am guilty

1:57

as charged. But somebody said they went to the doctor and

1:59

then went to doctor for the kid and the kid. And then you

2:02

know what the note they got back? If your child wants

2:04

to transition, here's where you go. What

2:06

is that? What is that? That's right.

2:08

How are they about to do that?

2:10

Yeah. We spoke to so

2:12

many parents that are going through a very

2:14

similar thing, where their child

2:16

might be confused, their child might have been

2:18

influenced, especially on the Internet.

2:21

And they go to their doctor hoping for some

2:23

sort of a preview and some sort of guidance.

2:25

And the doctor has no choice, but

2:27

to deliver one message which is

2:30

if your child is transgender, you

2:32

must affirm them, you must help them

2:34

transition. And that is crazy.

2:36

It's crazy that there's such conformity among

2:38

these doctors that if they

2:40

speak out, if they say there are only two

2:42

genders, they lose their license.

2:45

They can be I mean, that oh,

2:47

yeah. This this is a fear that

2:49

they have that absolutely exists, that

2:51

they can lose their license, that they can be

2:55

just have their whole life destroyed and

2:58

it happens more often than people

3:00

imagine. So many things over the last

3:02

few years have push this conformity.

3:05

You know, the COVID years, you were not allowed to

3:07

say the schools could open. And

3:09

if you did, that meant you wanted to teach us to die.

3:11

People got fired. Jennifer Sayers got,

3:14

you know, pushed out of her job at Levi's

3:16

for saying the most obvious thing in the world, which

3:18

is that schools should open because everything

3:20

else is open. And so we have

3:22

the situation where this forced conformity

3:25

has come to America and it's targeting our

3:27

kids and we have to fight it.

3:29

What's the end game? What is III

3:31

can't get a handle on what the end game is

3:33

because you and I, Karol, Markowicz we

3:35

accept everyone We don't we don't

3:37

demean any, but we don't care what you're Right.

3:39

I'm I'm I'm the entertainment industry. I don't

3:41

care what your sex is. I don't have time to work. I

3:43

love you anyway. I love you. I don't care what you

3:45

are. What you what you choose to be just,

3:48

but leave our kids alone. What's the end

3:49

game? What's the end game and

3:51

who's leading? Is the entertainment industry

3:54

leading this, do you think? Well,

3:56

it it really is a cultural revolution.

3:58

In our books don't use. We open

4:00

with a history chapter tracing

4:03

the totalitarian nature of this.

4:05

Where everybody has to think the same

4:07

way and we need to have everybody pirating

4:10

the same line. And just

4:12

it's gotten to where we are

4:15

not allowed to say certain things. We're not allowed

4:17

to speak except in a very rigid

4:19

way. So you can't say I'm not racist.

4:21

That's not appropriate. You have to say I'm anti

4:23

racist. And if you don't say the words in

4:25

the exact right way, you can find yourself

4:27

out of the in group, and all of this

4:30

is terrifying to people and they use

4:32

the social pressure to make sure that everybody

4:34

conforms. And this has happened in societies

4:37

in the past, in China, in Soviet

4:39

Union, in

4:40

Cambodia, and so many other places -- Yeah. --

4:42

where they enforce these these social

4:44

guidelines, and they always sever

4:46

the family connection

4:47

first. And we go through all of this in our

4:49

books don't use. This is great. You

4:52

do. You write in this article as well. We open

4:54

our book with a history chapter in the roots

4:56

of this wilderness in totalitarian and

4:59

totalitarian regimes of the past. And

5:01

you mentioned just that Soviet Union mouse,

5:03

China com Cambodia during

5:05

the Kymir Rouge and others tried to

5:07

sever the family connection as a way

5:09

of putting their indoctrination

5:11

onto the kids -- Mhmm. -- and by extension the

5:14

parents. It's all for power and control,

5:16

Carol. Yeah. And

5:18

it's happening here. The the keeping the secrets

5:20

from the parents is a big part

5:22

of it. know, recently,

5:25

we were in the car with my three kids

5:27

and my daughter had gotten her nails done

5:29

and my little seven year old son kind of

5:31

joking around that's me, like, oh, can I get my

5:34

nails done? And I also joking to him said,

5:36

no. Because we have very strict gender roles in

5:38

this

5:38

family. Totally

5:39

kidding.

5:40

But my thirteen year old daughter --

5:42

Yeah. -- she was like she said to him. She said,

5:44

don't repeat that outside the house because she

5:46

knows that something like that. He -- Yeah.

5:48

-- he can, you know, he can just go to

5:50

school and say something like that to his teacher

5:52

or or to test it to somebody else,

5:54

and it can cause an issue. And she's

5:56

concerned about, you know, the social

5:59

problems that might cause from saying something

6:01

that's inappropriate like that. And nothing about

6:03

that was inappropriate. I was kidding, but even

6:05

if I wasn't. So what? And

6:07

but the kids

6:08

know. The kids know that they're supposed to say things

6:10

in a certain way. They they fully understand

6:12

that. Yeah. You you know what?

6:14

So so and Wolkness, you you

6:17

right here at Karol, Markowicz Wolkness pushes

6:19

a separation between parent and

6:21

child. So does it come around?

6:23

We've been right about everything, Karol.

6:26

And and I we applaud you. We applaud

6:28

the New York Post and you know,

6:30

and we always applaud honest journalism, which

6:33

is an anomaly these days. But

6:35

as we go through all this, we see

6:37

from the virus, from the therapies for

6:40

the virus, from every from this

6:42

administration and the mistake to put and

6:44

this is Piscopo talking nobody else, but I

6:46

feel what a mistake it was to somehow

6:48

get Joe Biden because now we're at the precipice

6:50

of nuclear war. Iran's off

6:53

the charts, Russia, and China are off the

6:55

charts. And it's all happened. We were

6:57

right about everything. We, I

6:59

believe, are you are right about this,

7:01

about this wholeness killing us. Will

7:04

this this whole wokeness nonsense

7:07

and and will we be right again

7:09

as we were about everything else? It's

7:12

really tough because I'm very optimistic and

7:14

I'm very optimistic about Americans. But the

7:16

concern to me is that the people

7:19

in deep blue areas are too afraid

7:21

to speak out. I mean, we saw that during the pandemic,

7:23

they won't speak out at all. They're just too afraid

7:25

of the social pressure. Yeah. But the problem

7:27

is that the people in the red area don't

7:30

think this affects them. They think that this is

7:32

only happening in like San Francisco and New

7:34

York. It's happening everywhere. You know, there

7:36

was a story like a week or two ago

7:38

about a teacher transitioning a nine year

7:40

old. And that nine year old who

7:43

the teacher kept it a secret from the parents. They

7:45

turned this nine year old girl until boy at

7:47

school, called the girl by boy

7:49

pronouns, didn't tell the parents any

7:51

of this. And

7:53

that school is in a red enclave

7:55

on Long Island. I

7:56

mean, it is in a red Hamlet, in a red

7:58

town, Youssef County, which I know you

8:00

know is red. And if it's happening

8:03

there, it's happening everywhere. And

8:05

that's what's hard to break through the parents

8:07

because they just don't believe it

8:08

yet. And so we need them to face it, and then

8:10

we need them to fight it. And you talk

8:13

to the children. Right? You talk Matt, you know,

8:15

like I tell you, am I youngest, we put

8:17

in a Catholic

8:17

school. It just makes all the

8:19

sense of the world for me. I I you know, what am I gonna

8:21

tell you? I love the Catholic schools and

8:23

and seems like they and by the way, we don't vilify.

8:25

We don't teach to vilify, but you gotta

8:27

ask for it. It's it's like and this is this

8:30

is not really in regards to

8:31

this, but like, on September eleventh, I always talk

8:33

about September eleventh. They don't teach it, and most

8:35

schools don't even talk about it anymore. Oh, I know.

8:37

What is that? They don't teach any history

8:39

three in schools. They they don't teach any

8:42

history, especially American history in schools

8:44

because they find it controversial. That's ridiculous.

8:46

That's a ridiculous way to be. And that's again,

8:49

back to this totalitarian systems where

8:51

they delete history, they erase things

8:53

that happened in the past, they tear down the

8:55

statues, they make sure that, you know,

8:57

that we don't remember any of it and we don't have

9:00

anything shared and that's a big part of it

9:02

also. When they separate us like that, when

9:04

they erased our history, they erase

9:06

our connections to each other. And

9:08

that's a big way that the vegetarians have

9:10

imposed their rule throughout history.

9:13

So the fact that it's happening in America now,

9:15

I mean, just because it's not specifically the

9:17

government doing it, doesn't mean it's not

9:19

happening. The the retaliations are

9:21

in control of so many of our

9:22

institutions, and they're they're really

9:24

causing damage that we need to fight back on.

9:27

You know, the political turn before Karol,

9:29

by the way, we want you to check out right now. If

9:31

you Google stolen youth, how radicals are

9:33

erasing innocence and indoctrinating a generation,

9:36

it's a great new book from Carol Market.

9:38

It's Are these teachers now? And again,

9:40

I'm not being derogatory. This is a political

9:42

term. There's a term useful idiots.

9:44

And and and maybe in their heart, they don't

9:46

believe this, but they're just they're

9:48

just perpetuating

9:50

the people that want the power and control and are

9:52

really useful idiots in this regard. Right.

9:55

So the people pushing this agenda are

9:58

they have mission and that is cultural

10:00

revolution where we all become

10:02

leftist And, you know, if you saw the Bernie

10:04

Sanders clip recently where he didn't know the

10:06

difference between equity and equality -- Yeah.

10:08

-- and that's that's a great moment because

10:11

The left have been pushing this equity nonsense

10:13

for so many years, and Bernie Sanders is at

10:15

the forefront of that. And he doesn't even know

10:17

what it means. It's like, they're using

10:19

our kids as guinea pigs for an experiment that

10:21

they don't even understand themselves. There

10:23

is no such thing as equity and

10:26

equality of outcomes. That's crazy. So

10:29

what we want to do is let have

10:31

kids have the quality of opportunity

10:33

and that's where we should

10:34

be, but the left has been pushing against us

10:36

for so

10:37

long. I I think that the

10:39

the bigger biggest fight right now

10:41

is for this generation of children. And

10:43

to fight back against these conformist

10:46

to tellitarians who want

10:48

to take control of our society.

10:51

It's the number one thing we should be doing right

10:53

now. I know. It's so funny. We're the counter culture.

10:56

You know, I you're you're too you're too young, but I

10:58

remember with the hippies, the sixties, bed.

11:00

They were the counter culture. Now they're running they're

11:02

running everything. And we're the counterculture

11:04

now. How did that happen? But we will

11:06

fight, and the fight is just and the

11:08

mission is just, save your children. You gotta

11:11

get stolen youth from Carol Markowitz.

11:13

Carol great. Thanks for being a great mom as

11:15
