00:00We're here this morning to discuss the grave threats to religious liberty in American schools.

00:10And you know what's going on. We all know what's going on.

00:12But I will tell you, a lot of progress has been made in the last eight months.

00:16Tremendous progress. More than I thought we could make.

00:18In so many ways, not only that, the woke agenda is practically gone.

00:24It's deep-seated. We have to make sure it's out.

00:27It's very bad. It's like a weed. You think you killed it, and then it starts growing again.

00:32So we have to be careful. But it's very, very different than it was.

00:38You look at West Point, how proud they are of their heritage.

00:41They did something this week which I thought was appropriate.

00:43Some of you know what that is. Does anybody know what that is?

00:47Yeah, I like it. I like it. Oh, look at who we have over here.

00:51We have your associate, Pam, huh? Leo 2.0.

00:55Well, we have Leo here. We have – is he doing a good job, Pam?

01:00He's a great job. He's great. He's a DOJ. He's a great man.

01:03He's a great friend of mine for a long time.

01:04He's a great man of all time.

01:05I'm glad I got to see him. I would have been in big trouble, Pam, if I didn't see him.

01:15But thank you, Leo, very much. I appreciate it.

01:17For most of our country's history, the Bible is found in every classroom in the nation.

01:22Yet in many schools, today's students are instead indoctrinated with anti-religious propaganda.

01:29And some are even punished for their religious beliefs and very, very strongly punished.

01:33It's ridiculous.
