Bethany and Carol, thank you both so much for being here today. I just, I, but we have to start with the 9-11 thing. It's just too, it's too much for me.

Joining me now, Bethany Mandel and Carol Markowitz. Bethany is a contributing writer for Deseret News. Carol's a columnist at the New York Post and host of her own podcast, The Carol Markowitz Show. Together, they recently wrote the book Stolen Youth, How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation.

Yeah, I mean, this is exactly why Carol and I wrote Stolen Youth because it's not just in college campuses. It's in elementary schools. It's in middle schools. It's in high schools across the country.

as we've been traveling around to promote stolen youth, I've heard from so many parents who are like, I lost my child to this ideology.

It is out, it came out March 15 and it's about the way the woke are targeting our children for indoctrination and what parents can do about it.

one of the things that we cover in the book is how children's books have gotten so inappropriate in so many different ways

we opened the book with a history chapter. I was born in the Soviet Union, I came to the US as a small child and these so many things that I heard throughout my life I feel like are happening right now in our country

for us part of the reason of writing this book is to make sure that they can't say that

one of the other discoveries that we made in researching Stolen Youth and again this is something that I would have thought was a conspiracy theory before we started writing this book but in teachers colleges they use Marxist books to teach the teachers

It was said that a lot of the things going on in schools are right wing propaganda, but the receipts and talking to parents about what's going on in schools is so effed up. The left lies and says it's not happening and the media covers for them, even though it's like here's the book, here's the receipts. They go, nope, information is good.

There's a book by Carol Markowitz and Bethany Mandel called Stolen Youth, which I just read. And, you know, I think most of it's like you think that a lot of the stuff that's going on in schools, like right wing propaganda and people frothing at the mouth. But the receipts you see and talking to parents about what's going on in schools, because we're not in school, so we're kind of oblivious to it. It's all everything secondhand. It is so effed up.

And then the left lies and says it's not happening. And the media covers for them, even though it's like, here's the book, here's the receipts. They go, nope, information's good. I don't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Math is good.

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

The book was repeatedly highlighted by Karol Markowicz and co‑authors as a best‑selling exposé on how left‑leaning ideology is infiltrating schools, medical settings, and libraries, and how it undermines parental values. It was cited as evidence of the need to protect childhood and was used to illustrate personal experiences, such as a child's exposure to climate activist messaging and the challenges of discussing family values. Multiple guests, including Tim Carney and Inez Stepman, referenced the book tour and its impact on their understanding of cultural shifts. The overall tone was supportive and endorsing, presenting the title as an essential guide for concerned parents.

It's not just at schools, it's in your doctor's office, it's in your library and so on.

I wrote that that chapter and then I never looked at it again.

I was like, I will do everything else. I mean, you remember the turnaround time? It was so bad.

I think everyone felt like it went on for two pages too long, but no one felt like they could say that.

And it was all part of that too. I had the sixth baby, my fifth and my sixth, they're 17 months apart. So he was really hard.

The problem isn't is there a book, it's like how can we only write one book about this and how do we narrow this down?

One of the craziest things that happened over COVID and our book isn't just about COVID. There's so, so much more to it.

I know you mentioned this in your book, Don't Burn This Country, which I read.
