Guerrilla Warfare in the Battle of Ideas

Start listening at 4:00 – Hour 1

Yvonne Paez, Army veteran and former police officer, explains the etymology and modern application of guerrilla warfare to the battle of ideas. The Spanish word “guerrilla” derives from “guerra” (war) and means “little war,” describing irregular soldiers who harass enemies through surprise raids and sabotage rather than conventional combat.

Paez draws parallels to George Washington’s Revolutionary War tactics against the British Empire and applies the concept to contemporary cultural battles. In today’s context, guerrilla warfare means engaging person by person, speaking truth consistently to those around us. The conventional warfare of big media and institutional narratives must be countered by informed citizens gathering in person to have genuine conversations about what is happening in America.

“our guerrilla warfare, in the present state of affairs, is to simply get informed. You know, be informed, stay informed and communicate what is going on to one another.”

Secret Gender Meetings Target Children

Start listening at 34:10 – Hour 1

Erin Lee recounts the shocking experience that launched her into advocacy. In May 2021, her 12-year-old daughter was invited to stay after school for “art club” but found herself in a Gender and Sexuality Awareness meeting instead. A woman she had never met used flags to describe umbrella terms, telling children that discomfort in their bodies meant they were transgender, discussed polyamory and puberty blockers, and handed out her personal contact information including Discord, a platform with a quick-hide feature that bypasses parental monitoring.

The presenter’s first rule was “what you hear here, keep it here,” and as Lee’s daughter left, her art teacher reinforced the secrecy by saying “remember, you don’t have to tell your parents.” Other families discovered their daughters had been attending these meetings for months without their knowledge. One girl who followed the secrecy rules attempted suicide by drinking bleach in December 2021, and her parents only connected the dots after Lee went public in May 2022.

“I have never felt so violated as I did that day when my daughter came home and I learned that they had had a secret gender and sex meeting with her and they had stolen her innocence and they had impeded her rights to grow up free from indoctrination.”

Federal Lawsuit Filed Against Poudre Valley School District

Start listening at 48:07 – Hour 1

Lee announces that on May 3, 2023, her family filed a federal lawsuit against Poudre Valley School District with representation from America First Policy Institute, led by former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. The lawsuit claims violations of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Her son is also a plaintiff after the district denied his request for a “gender support plan” affirming his biological sex, stating that “cisgender is not a federally protected class,” a blatant Title IX violation.

The case aims to create case law and set precedent to empower other parents nationwide. Lee emphasizes this issue is happening everywhere, from conservative communities to liberal states. The public education system has been infiltrated by a concerted effort to separate children from families and hyper-sexualize kids at younger ages. Social-emotional learning and pronoun usage are being inserted into math problems and reading assignments across the country.
