The only benefit of the insanity happening in schools in Loudoun County, Virginia is that parents are being inspired to stand up, get involved and protect their kids from this leftist indoctrination around the rest of the state and across the country, WRVA radio host Jeff Katz said on the Todd Starnes Show.

TODD STARNES: [01:02:11] Now we invited Jeff Katz, our good friend from our great affiliate in Richmond, Virginia, WRVA, and we’re going to talk about the story we asked him to talk about. But Jeff, I want to get your reaction to the president going after the conservatives for standing up for parents and families. [01:02:28][17.2]
JEFF KATZ: [01:02:30] Well, Todd, it’s great to be here. And I got to tell you, the first thing when I hear anything that comes from Joe Biden, all I can think of is Vanna, could we buy a vowel, because it’s so flippin disjointed, right? But I guess if we read between the lines, those of us who are conservatives sort of get the message, which is we’re just supposed to sit down and shut up. And you and I both know, my friend, that all across America we’re not sitting down and we’re not shutting up. And we are pushing back and the leftists, frankly, who it just seems to me, have lost their minds. They’ve just gone absolutely off the deep end. [01:03:11][41.2]
STARNES: [01:03:12] I have to read this line to you. This was an actual line from the speech he was talking about Justice Jackson Brown. And this is horrible, Jeff Katz. This is a quote from the president. Grace, cover your ears. “You should see when I go into African-American communities, or especially young African-American women.” [01:03:35][23.3]
KATZ: [01:03:39] OK. [01:03:39][0.0]
STARNES: [01:03:41] This is a line from the President. [01:03:42][1.6]
KATZ: [01:03:44] Thank you, Mr. President. [01:03:45][0.8]
STARNES: [01:03:48] Paging Barry White, Barry White, Luther Vandross. Wow, you can’t make this up. [01:03:56][7.8]
KATZ: [01:03:57] No, you know, if you put this into any of your bestselling books, your editor would come back and say, Todd, remember you’re doing nonfiction. You can’t just make stuff up like that, right? I mean, it’s worse. [01:04:09][12.7]
STARNES: [01:04:10] Worse, worse Jeff Katz! They would be like Starnes, What do you think this is a Stacey Abrams novel? Oh my word. Jeff Katz, crazy Story out of Loudoun County, Virginia. Freedom High School, and I want you to explain why an adult male dancer was wiggling his hindquarters in front of the young people at the high school. [01:04:39][29.0]
KATZ: [01:04:42] Because it’s Loudoun County, Virginia, and it’s a day that ends in y, probably, because there is such insanity there. But I’m happy to tell you that there is a growing segment of the population in Virginia, and that includes Loudoun County which is pretty far left, where parents are just upset with this nonsense. And I never quite got the anti-bullying dance troupe, but OK. But then when this guy is linked up to his Instagram page with, shall we say, provocative photos, again, it’s just completely inappropriate. And, you know, it’s almost like that great state representative you were just talking to from Florida. Look, we the parents would like the schools to mind their own doggone business. You don’t need to sexualize our children. You don’t need to expose them this sort of nonsense. And the more you do it, the more we’re going to push back. [01:05:41][59.3]
STARNES: [01:05:42] So this guy is a part of a dance troupe, and they go around to all these schools, and the district says nothing inappropriate happened. So, he wasn’t twerking on anybody during the school presentation. But this is the controversy, the parents say, well, the guy invited the kids to follow him on Instagram, which they did. The school said, well, that didn’t happen. But when the kids went on the guy’s social media page, it turns out that he is not a fan of wearing clothing. And there were some very provocative photos, and the parents are like, what the heck? And then the school district says, oh, we didn’t check his social media pages. [01:06:21][38.8]
KATZ: [01:06:23] Well, why would you? Why would you do any checks on anybody coming in to be among the school children? Right, that’s so old fashioned, Todd. Come on, you know that’s not what they do. And frankly, it is why so many parents here in Virginia are so active. I mean, that’s the beautiful thing about Loudoun County as much as they keep going over the edge, as far as they keep going in, frankly, mistreating children and insulting parents, it’s just inspiring more and more parents down here to take a stand. [01:06:58][35.4]
STARNES: [01:06:59] I mean, look, I understand the whole, you know, we got to talk to the kids, don’t bully, don’t pull on somebody’s hair, don’t push them on the playground. But was there not anyone out there who wears pants that could do that? That’s what I just want to know. [01:07:11][11.3]
KATZ: [01:07:12] I would certainly think that you’d have, oh, I don’t know, a school teacher wearing some sort of clothing, somebody from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, I’ve seen those guys, they’ve got beautiful uniforms, and they always keep them on. [01:07:26][13.3]
STARNES: [01:07:26] Well, that’s good. we’ve all seen the bridal showers, you know, where they get the police officer, it’s on and music starts – Luther Vandross again, and there you go. [01:07:41][14.9]
KATZ: [01:07:42] I think it is Friday for you and for me. [01:07:46][3.7]
STARNES: [01:07:46] We’re right smack in the middle of a cheap Stacey Abrams romance novel. Jeff Katz on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line. I’ve completely lost control of this show today. Jeff, I’m curious. I know you haven’t done your show yet, so your show launches at about 3:00 p.m. eastern? Is that right? [01:08:08][22.2]
KATZ: [01:08:10] Yes sir. 3:00 p.m. eastern. [01:08:10][0.4]
STARNES: [01:08:10] on WRVA, and you can listen to it online. Many different ways for you to listen to his great show. Jeff, our listeners are pretty fired up and very upset over this recording between Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney. You guys going to be talking about that today? [01:08:26][15.6]
KATZ: [01:08:27] Oh, you betcha. You betcha. Look, I will tell you in the interest of full disclosure, I’ve never been a big Kevin McCarthy fan one way or the other. He’s just never struck me as the best of the best, I think there were a couple of days after this whole January 6 thing where there were a lot of people saying a lot of things, but at this point, this is all the Democrats have. You know this. The economy has tanked, thanks to Joe Biden, people are miserable. They can’t figure out how to pay their bills. They can’t afford to put gas in their cars or their trucks. And this is all they’ve got. I always consider the source of these things. It’s the New York Times, and Lord knows the last person there who even can spell journalism left a long time ago. I think they all went to CNN+. And, you know, I just think that we as Republicans, many of us conservatives, all of us have to look at these midterms, stay focused. I would dare say, don’t get into the nonsense with these people. [01:09:35][68.3]
STARNES: [01:09:36] Yeah, I’m with you, and do your homework. You know, that’s very important. You got to just do your homework. By the way, Jeff, I know it is Earth Day and here at our program, we are very festive. We celebrate all the major holidays. We’ve been sending our audio engineer out in the Todd Starnes Show Monster Truck. He just pulled back up into the parking lot. Alright, can we take the microphone downstairs and let’s listen. There we go, Jeff I dont know if you can hear this. There we go, happy Earth Day. It’s hard to hear over the revving engine, but he’s got a big can of the big, sexy hairspray. [01:10:13][37.3]
KATZ: [01:10:18] Yeah, this is good stuff. Yeah, Todd, I want you to know, we’re trying to do our part here in central Virginia. And so Heidi and I are planning to grill steaks when I get off the air at 6:00 p.m. eastern. But just in our small way of saying Happy Earth Day, I fired up the grill now so it can warm up, you know, just for a few extra hours. And I put some extra coal on there because, Why not? [01:10:44][25.4]
STARNES: [01:10:44] Well, you’re a great American patriot. And after the show, we’re going to take huge tubs of Hormel Chili, and we’re going to go and feed it to the bison over at Shelby Farms. Just as an explosive end to the holiday, if you will. [01:10:58][13.8]
KATZ: [01:11:00] Alright, I don’t even know what to say, except God bless you, man. I love it. [01:11:05][5.7]
STARNES: [01:11:07] The great American patriot and griller Jeff Katz, ladies and gentlemen on WRVA. Jeff, have a great weekend. [01:11:13][6.3]
KATZ: [01:11:14] Alright, you do the same, Todd [01:11:15][0.9]
