1 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: Good evening, America. Welcome to the Monday edition of Justin News, 2 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: No Noise. 3 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Solomon right here with my co 4 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: host Amanda Head in Washington, d C, the nation's capital. Amanda, 5 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: a lot of big things stay, the President meeting with 6 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: the South Korean president. Now, the South Korean president a 7 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: little bit more of the liberal pro China side, but 8 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: they seem to strike a good relationship today. Meanwhile, we've 9 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: got some gun toty National guardsmen on the street. Crime 10 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: keeps going down. Our first guest is the Chairman of 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: the House Administration over a committee which oversees Washington, d C. 12 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: Brian style. We're gonna be able to get to him 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: in a second. I'm sure he's going to weigh in 14 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 2: on that. What's been on your radar all day? 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that warm reception between President Trump and the South 16 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: Korean president and a lot of things discussed between the 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: two of them. As you noted, they're not exactly on 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: the same page on a lot of things, but the 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: President of South Korea indicated I think a wise willingness 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: to work with President Trump on all things, especially pertaining 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 3: to trade and tariffs. The other thing on my radar, 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: as you know, was the executive order signed by President 23 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: Trump to prosecute and throw in jail for one whole 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: year anyone who burns the American flag. And this, of 25 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: course revives the entire argument over whether burning the American 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: flag is constitutional as free speech. And I spoke to 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: a number of constitutional lawyers today and they had some 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: good information for me. That's going to be in a 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: story coming out tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that. 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: But I also saw something blaze across my desk in 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: the culture space that apparently, you know, those little triangular 32 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: peg games that they have at Cracker Barrel, those are 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: apparently woke. Now I'm not really sure or how I know, 34 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: but that boy, Cracker Barrel's got a lot of problems lately. 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: I was at a Cracker Barrel on Sunday just they 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: stopped in briefly at five o'clock on a Sunday. It 37 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: was about sixty percent empty. Normally you'd be waiting for 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: a table. And this was in the heart of Red 39 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: Country on the western side of Virginia. So there are 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: some serious serious repercussions to what this new CEO or 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: what the CEO has done. It is yeah, go woke, 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: go broke. We've said it many times, but some CEOs 43 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: continue to do it, I guess to the detriment of 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: their careers. Maybe we'll see. The executive orders today were 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: kind of important. I think, like you said, the flag 46 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: is one of the big ones in the cultural implications 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: of that. Also, creating a new unit of National Guards 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: that will just deal with urban crime, be able to 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: be deployed. 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: They're experts in it. 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: That is a sign that maybe the President is thinking 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: of going some other cities like oh, Baltimore, Chicago, LA. 53 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: I want to see where that leads out. I'm sure. 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: And you know, I. 55 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: Mentioned last week some of these videos that have gone 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: viral of people in different cities across the country saying Trump, 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: you know, I didn't vote for you, but please send 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: your people here. We want it here. And you know, 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 3: videos from people here in Washington, d C. Saying yeah, 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: we needed help, We needed something to happen because I 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: couldn't walk around the city at night, I couldn't roll 62 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 3: through the streets in my car with my windows down. 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: And that's this is the this is our nation's capital city. 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: When we have dignitaries and nations leaders come to the city. 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: That's the last thing we want. We do not want 66 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 3: to be embarrassed about what we have to hide underneath 67 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: the tablecloth. 68 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: No, it's and it's been kicked down the road for 69 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: two and three decades. It's always been getting worse. Republicans 70 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: were too kind to really address it. Donald Trump's like, hey, 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm taking care of it. 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm leaning in. 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: And yeah, he doesn't care about feelings. He cares about 74 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: getting the job done. And I think today and the city, 75 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: it just feels a little bit different. Walking down the 76 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: street today, headed to our our new studios and checking 77 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: them out today, you could really feel the difference in 78 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: the city. Ad Amitted we got a per first guest 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: to kick things off. He's on the forefront of all 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: of the election integrity stuff, including the Act Blue investigation. 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: He also oversees the district of Columbia as a chairman 82 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: of the House Administration Committee.

He's been leading the Act Blue 87 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: investigation alongside of two other House chairmen and shepherding through 88 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: Congress someome of the most important and historic election reform 89 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: legislation we've seen in decades here in Washington. He's the 90 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: chairman of the House Administration Committee and a Congressman from 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: my old home state of Wisconsin. 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: Chairman Brian Style, So good to have you back on 93 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: the show. 94 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on. 95 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: It's a great honor, sir. All right, let's start with 96 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: Act Blue. There was a lot of work over the summer. 97 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: You didn't take a day off. Everyone was working hard. 98 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: We've got subpoenas, we've got some testimony. Get us up 99 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: to speed on the cooperation you're getting and not getting 100 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: from Acblues executives. 101 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 5: We have issued a series of subpoena trying to get 102 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 5: to the bottom of exactly what is going on as 103 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 5: it relates to the financial security protocols that should be 104 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 5: in place for any form of online giving, donation, or 105 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 5: even buying. When we began this investigation a little over 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 5: two years ago, we recognized that Act Blue did not 107 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 5: have the security protocols in place that they should have. 108 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 5: Simple things like having that three or four digit code 109 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 5: on the back of your credit card, a CVV number 110 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 5: being required to be entered when making a donation. We 111 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 5: began this investigation, they didn't even require that, So we've 112 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 5: begun to further this investigation. We've subpoenaed a series of 113 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 5: executives at act Blue to come and testify to make 114 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 5: sure we understand why they lacked these security protocols. 115 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: Some of those individuals have come in, some have not. 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: We're currently not in a position to be able to 117 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 5: publicly release all the information, but let me say, we 118 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 5: still have a lot of questions about what has been 119 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 5: going on at act Blue, and I'm committed along now 120 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 5: with the Chairman of Oversight, James Comer and Jim Jordan 121 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 5: at Judiciary. 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 4: To get to the bottom of this for the American people. 123 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: And mister Chairman, I know you still have a lot 124 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: of questions, but they still have a lot of work 125 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: to do as far as cleaning things up. The CCV 126 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: thing is great, but as I understand it, there are 127 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: a lot of other security measures that they need to employ. 128 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: Do you anticipate that they will? Well, first of all, 129 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: are they still operating even with these security measures that are. 130 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: Not in place? 131 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 4: They are still operating. 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 5: It's online donation platforms like Act Blue that cause a 133 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 5: lot of concern about how money is flowing into the 134 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: US political system, and an absolute minimum, Americans should be 135 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 5: able to be confident that no foreign funds are flowing 136 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 5: into US elections. What I would like to see is 137 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 5: protocols change. Some of this is going to require legislation 138 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 5: passing the House and the Senate of being signed into law. 139 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 5: Just before last election, we put forward legislation that would 140 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 5: have made substantive changes to prevent abuses that could be 141 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: done at places like Act Blue. We were successful ultimately 142 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 5: getting that through the House, but the Senate under then 143 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 5: the leadership on the Democratic side refuse to move forward. 144 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 5: I think we have a huge opportunity here on the 145 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 5: legislative side to put fixes in place to prevent abuse 146 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 5: so that these types of abuses that we're concerned about 147 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 5: will never happen in the future. 148 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so very important. 149 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: You've also done such enormous work to improve the integrity 150 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: of our assystance and make it. 151 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: Easier to vote, harder to cheat. 152 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: Over the last few days, the President has weighed in 153 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: saying I'd like to get rid of mail in ballots 154 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: that aren't absentee ballots. So if you're not an absentee 155 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: and get rid of mail in ballots, your thoughts on 156 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: that and what other things you might be doing to 157 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: secure the system. On top of all the good work 158 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: you've already done. 159 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 5: Well, I've been working to make sure that it's exactly 160 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 5: as you said, John, easy to vote, hard to cheat. 161 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 5: I think there's a few things that we should be 162 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 5: able to get in place before the next election. One 163 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 5: is making sure that we end what they call universal 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 5: mail in voting, which means if you're on the voter rolls, 165 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: you get a live ballot, regardless of whether or not 166 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 5: you've requested. This is a real problem in jurisdictions that 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 5: don't clean up their voter roles. That's very true even 168 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 5: in our nation's capital in Washington, d C. Where they've 169 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 5: done an abysmal job of cleaning up the voter roles, 170 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: but then mail out of live ballots everyone on those 171 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 5: voter roles, even though they're not cleaned up. 172 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 4: That's a problem. 173 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 5: The other is we should make sure that ballots are 174 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 5: in by the time the elections closed. 175 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: This is where California has a real problem. 176 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 5: I went to La County to Central count in California 177 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 5: two days after the last presidential election, and what I 178 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 5: saw was concerning. It was a vast number of ballots 179 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 5: still arriving. And when you don't have results for the 180 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 5: American people on election I to say the state of 181 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 5: Florida does. What it does is reduces Americans' confidence in 182 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 5: our elections. And what we have seen time and again 183 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 5: is as Americans have more confidence than their elections, they're 184 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 5: actually much more likely to participate. And participation is a 185 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 5: good thing, and so getting ballots in by the time 186 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 5: the polls close, I think is an obvious reform that 187 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 5: should be put in place. And we should not be 188 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: mailing ballots to people that don't request them. That is 189 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: a significant concern, in particular in jurisdictions that are not 190 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 5: maintaining their voter roles in the first place. 191 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Huge yew. 192 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: Wasn't it amazing how that popular vote margin got ever 193 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: so skinnier as the days went on after the election 194 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: last year? Sir, I want to ask you about what 195 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: states like Florida are doing. What is preventing states like 196 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: California from doing it? Is it a matter of being 197 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 3: able or is it a matter of being willing? 198 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: It's a matter of being willing, every state could put 199 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 5: in place the protocols that we know that work. Last Congress, 200 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 5: we introduced legislation that put forward a gold standard about 201 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 5: how states should operate. We'll be reintroducing legislation in the 202 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 5: weeks ahead, putting forward that gold standard for states about 203 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 5: how you should be operating and running your elections, and 204 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 5: putting in enforcement mechanisms for states that failed to meet 205 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 5: a high standard. The obvious standard that I think should 206 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 5: be the most obvious is that ballots need to be 207 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: in by the time the polls closed. With the sole 208 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 5: exception we cant have eshion about active duty overseas military. 209 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 5: Separate of that, everybody should be able to have their 210 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 5: ballot in by the time the polls are closed. It's 211 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: no different than when you were in high school in 212 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 5: a paper was due at any given time, when did 213 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 5: you do it just before it was due. The state 214 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 5: of Florida gets their ballots in by the time the 215 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 5: polls closed, the state of Wisconsin does. States like California 216 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 5: more or less are seemed to be encouraging people to 217 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 5: come in at the final hour because they allow those 218 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: ballots to arrive after the polls close. Again, that doesn't 219 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 5: instill confidence in our elections. What it does is weekends. 220 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 5: That that's not a good thing. What we want is 221 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 5: Americans to have strong conviction, of strong belief that the 222 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 5: election system works, and we know what protocols and procedures 223 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 5: we need to have in place. We just need the 224 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 5: willingness of states to step up and do it, or 225 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 5: we need the federal government to come in and force 226 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 5: those states to get their elections into gear. 227 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so important, Sara. 228 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: You have overseen also a large part of what goes 229 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: on in Washington, d C. Whether it's elections or otherwise. 230 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: The Justice Department announced over the weekend that is open 231 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: to criminal investigation into allegations that DC police were manipulating 232 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: crime data, creating sort of a forced portrait of security 233 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: in the city. Your thoughts on what's happened over the 234 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: last two weeks with President Trump sending out the National Guard, 235 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: federal police, crime. 236 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: Going down, murders going down. 237 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: And now maybe the possibility that we were getting a 238 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: false picture of what the crime stats really were. 239 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 5: Well, as chairman of the Committee on Administration, we've been 240 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 5: at the forefront of making sure that we keep visitors, 241 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 5: staff and members safe. 242 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: On Capitol Hill. 243 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 5: And so I've dug into this situation about what's playing 244 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: out in Washington, d C. Holding a series of hearings 245 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 5: and roundtables, including with the union leadership of the Washington 246 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 5: d C. Metropolitan Police Department. But what we're seeing in Washington, 247 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 5: DC is really a reflection of what we see in 248 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 5: liberal cities. 249 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: Across the country. 250 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 5: In particular, following the summer of twenty twenty, is cities 251 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 5: and elected leaders failed to stand with the men and 252 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 5: women of law enforcement. What we saw was a rising 253 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 5: crime in our nation's largest city. What you need to 254 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 5: do is stand with the men and women of law 255 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 5: enforcement and then enforce the crimes and the laws that 256 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 5: are on the books and put bad people away. The 257 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 5: unwillingness of some of our nation's largest cities to do 258 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 5: this have made them unsafe. And so what we've had 259 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 5: to do is step in and make sure that we're 260 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 5: putting the rules of the road in place to make 261 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 5: sure that everyone feels safe in their homes. Absolutely, every 262 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 5: American has a right to feel safe in their homes. 263 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 5: And what we need to do is put in place 264 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 5: the rules and regulations in our nation's largest, bluest cities. 265 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 5: To make sure that we're reinstating public safety after an 266 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 5: absolute deterioration following, in particular, the summer twenty twenty, when 267 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: far too many Democrats turn their backs on our nation's 268 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 5: police departments, and we're still dealing with the consequences of 269 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 5: those horrific decisions by our nation's bluest cities. 270 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: As to Sherremy before we let you go, this is 271 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 3: obviously a politically blue city, but I think that the 272 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: men and women who wear blue are a little bit 273 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: more evenly split. But when it comes to President Trump 274 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: and his actions here in DC, the downgrading or the 275 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: decrease in crimes, do you get the sense that most 276 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: of the law enforcement here in Washington support President the President? 277 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: I know the Union does. 278 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 5: I think the men and women of law enforcement across 279 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 5: the board support conservatives who have their backs. 280 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: I think they're sick and tired. 281 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 5: Of liberal elected leaders not having their backs when they're 282 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 5: outdoing incredibly difficult work. You got to remember, when these 283 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 5: law enforcement officers wake up, put the badge over their heart, 284 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 5: walk out the door. They have sworn to answer the call, 285 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 5: not knowing what call is going to come across the. 286 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: Radio on any given day. 287 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: I can't imagine how difficult that job would become when 288 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 5: they would know elected leaders don't have their backs. What 289 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 5: we need to do is make sure that we show 290 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 5: we have the backs of law enforcement. And President Trump 291 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 5: clearly has the backs of law enforcement, and I would 292 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 5: assume that he has the overwhelming support of the men 293 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 5: and women of law enforcement in Washington, d c. But 294 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 5: in cities all across the United States who are clamoring 295 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 5: for elected leaders to stand up, be tough on crime, 296 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 5: re establish public safe. And we have an opportunity to 297 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 5: do that with President Trump and the White House and 298 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 5: with a recognition across the country that some of our 299 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 5: nation's largest cities are not a place where people currently 300 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 5: are feeling safe. 301 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is for sure, mister chairman.

It seems like every 340 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: time we have you on there is a new update, 341 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: something that you are doing to fortify the education system there. 342 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 3: Tell us about this new test. What is so controversial 343 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: about it. 344 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 7: We don't let leftists from California under Gavin Newsom coming 345 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 7: in and doctrinate kids in Oklahoma. That's what's controversy about it. 346 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 7: It's amazing. It's common sense. When we saw Gavin Newsom 347 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 7: require teachers in California to teach that there's twenty seven genders, 348 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 7: to teach that there's no difference between males and females. 349 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 7: When we saw the anti americanism in the curriculum in 350 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 7: New York, we said, we're not doing that. In Oklahoma. 351 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 7: We have the biggest signing bonuses in the country. If 352 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 7: you're a high quality teacher to come to Oklahoma. We 353 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 7: do merit pay in Oklahoma. You can make up to 354 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 7: one hundred thousand dollars in a classroom if you're a 355 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 7: high performing teacher. We've got teachers coming in from over 356 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 7: the country. What we will not allow, though, are leftists 357 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 7: and doctrinators masquerading US teachers to come into our classrooms 358 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 7: and push a Marxist agenda on to our kids. Our 359 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 7: parents have demanded to get back to the basics and education. 360 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 7: That's what we're doing right here in Oklahoma. 361 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is such a model for so many other 362 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: states right now, people all across the country talking about 363 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: what you're doing, the courage to do it withstanding all 364 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 2: of the legal challenges. Man, they've thrown as many legal 365 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: challenges as they could at you. 366 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: You just keep winning. 367 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: In fact, the new history standards should be kicking in 368 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 2: with the new school year because you want all your 369 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: cases right. 370 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: You know, that's right. 371 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 7: And again you've seen this with President Trump, right, you know, 372 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 7: they try to steal an election. 373 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 6: They go through and they sue him every step of 374 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 6: the way. 375 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 7: And what they're trying to do is weaponize the judiciary 376 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 7: to block good legislation what voters voted. 377 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 6: On from going into action. 378 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 7: And so what we did hear in Oklahoma again, we 379 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 7: passed the best history standards of the country. Guess what 380 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 7: we're going to get back to reading things like the 381 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 7: Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bible, letters from the founders. 382 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 7: We put all of this back in our history standards 383 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 7: to make sure our kids truly understand American exceptionalism, American greatness. 384 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 6: We want our kids to be patriotic. We're unapologetic about that. 385 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 7: In Oklahoma, the teachers Union suit us, the ACLU, all 386 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 7: your typical groups, and we crush them in court. And 387 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 7: so those are being implemented right now as we speak 388 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 7: with the school you're starting, and parents are so excited. 389 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 7: We are so excited to bring American history back to 390 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 7: the classroom without left wing and doctrination and influence. 391 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, incredible. You know what I think is so special 392 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: about teaching kids history, about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, 393 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: the Declaration of Independence, is that that naturally leads to 394 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 3: a place of patriotism. You don't really even have to 395 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: enforce patriotism because when you teach kids how special this 396 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 3: country is and it's founding as well, that's the natural inclination, 397 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 3: isn't it. 398 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 6: Well, And this is what I would say. 399 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 7: I was a history teacher for ten years before I 400 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 7: got into this role. And what's so important is you 401 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 7: provide kids those documents. They should read the Declaration of Independence, 402 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 7: not just what somebody said about it. They should read 403 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 7: it and understand it. They should read the Federalist papers, 404 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 7: the anti federalist papers, all of the letters back and 405 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 7: forth with Thomas Jefferson and so many others. Read it 406 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 7: and you fall in love with it, and you look 407 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 7: at these core foundational principles and you go, look, this 408 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 7: helps me understand why this is the greatest country in 409 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 7: the history of the world. This is how you get 410 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 7: kids to love this country and understand it again. Yeah, 411 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 7: let them read it. Let them fall in love with 412 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 7: these figures from American history. Let them read through American history, 413 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 7: how many times America was the shining light in the world. 414 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 7: And again, that's how we get back on track. We 415 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 7: make America great again with President Trump's vision. Here is 416 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 7: going back to a true understanding of American history by 417 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 7: allowing our kids to fall in love with the founders. 418 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 2: So very important and so very neglected for a long 419 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: time in many states. I was with a bunch of 420 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: kids this a couple of weekends ago up in the Northeast, 421 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: and to my amazement, very few of them knew what 422 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: happened on September eleven, two thousand and one, just twenty 423 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: four years ago, and they had never been taught in 424 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: their classrooms. 425 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: It was shocking to me. These are early high school kids. 426 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: And I just got in a conversation with them and 427 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: their parents and it was really jarring. Now I know 428 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 2: in Oklahoma that is not the case. But as we 429 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: come up on the twenty fourth and soon in the 430 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: twenty fifth anniversary of that very difficult day, how important 431 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: is it to make sure the school districts aren't skipping 432 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: those seminal moments in American history. 433 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 6: Look, I think it's so important. 434 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 7: You know, you're now dealing with the generation the kids 435 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 7: in school now, they weren't alive when nine to eleven happened. 436 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 7: You know that that seems like a long time ago. 437 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 7: Think about how it has changed forever, the dynamics across 438 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 7: the world. Think about what we've dealt with as a 439 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 7: country since then because of those awful terrorist attacks on 440 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 7: those days. Kids, you to understand what happened. They need 441 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 7: to understand the attacks, who the attackers were, what carried 442 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 7: out on that fateful day, that horrific day, and how. 443 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 6: America responded, and it's so important. 444 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 7: And this is where you know, one of my favorite 445 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 7: Churchill quotes is the further back you look, is the 446 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 7: further ahead you can see. The better understanding our kids 447 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 7: have of history. It gives them context and the decision 448 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 7: making we're making in the world today as a citizen, 449 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 7: they need to think about that when they go into elections. 450 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 7: But also the beauty of history is that history helps 451 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 7: you get your own life because now you've got this 452 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 7: broader context on what others have done, what you want 453 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 7: to emulate, what you don't want to emulate. But when 454 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 7: you're talking about America, we have lost our identity. We 455 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 7: have allowed the left to twist everything and to crt 456 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 7: DEI be ashamed of America, when in reality, we should 457 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 7: be teaching American history through all of those events, through 458 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 7: the individuals in American history. Talk about those core foundational 459 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 7: principles and by the way, we teach everything here, we 460 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 7: teach the good, the bad, the ugly. Hey, look, when 461 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 7: there were those moments in American history where we fell 462 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 7: short of those principles, we talk about those. 463 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 6: We put it out in front of the kids for. 464 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 4: Them to see. 465 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 7: But when you look at the Declaration of Independence, you 466 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 7: look at the Constitution, you look at so many leaders 467 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 7: throughout our history, it is so easy for kids to 468 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 7: fall in love with America and see why America is 469 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 7: the greatest country in the history of the world. 470 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to go back to something that you 471 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 3: were saying earlier about, you know, these incentives for teachers 472 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 3: to do well at their job and to teach, you know, 473 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: things like two genders and teach history and things like that. 474 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: That is so important to have those incentives, I think, 475 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 3: and there aren't a lot of states that do that. 476 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 3: But on the other side, if you have a teacher 477 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 3: come to Oklahoma, they take this exam that you are 478 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 3: that you're imposing, they pass the exam, but then they 479 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: start to weave the stuff from you know, the California 480 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: type stuff back into their curriculum. 481 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 6: What happens then we take your license and you don't 482 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 6: teach anymore. And we've done that with multiple teachers in 483 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 6: our state. 484 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 7: The reality is in conservatives, we've got to get this 485 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 7: guys theft. They don't care, they don't care what the 486 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 7: law is. Look at how the law breaking that's gone on. 487 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 7: They sit here and pair it on and cheer on 488 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 7: the burning down of cities. They could care less. They 489 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 7: are gonna do whatever they can to get their will done. 490 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 7: So we pass laws in Red states and guess what 491 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 7: the left just fits in the face of them to 492 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 7: do it anyway, And then what are the repercussions? And 493 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 7: Oklahoma we said, look, we passed an anti CRT law. 494 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 7: You're not going to teach CRT here. So guess what 495 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 7: happens when you do. We take your teacher's licenser. You 496 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 7: can go get another job, but you're not going to 497 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 7: be indoctrinating our kids. If you put pornography in front 498 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 7: of kids, if you push all this radical gender theory, 499 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 7: you're not going to teach in our classrooms. You have 500 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 7: to bring accountability back to the school system, back to 501 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 7: Red States and say, guys, the letter is going to 502 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 7: continue moving forward if you don't stand in there and say, look, 503 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 7: these are the laws. Parents have the right to they 504 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 7: have the right to have their kids go to school 505 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 7: without being indoctrinated. And in a time we've really had 506 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 7: Red States, we've got to stand up support President Trump's vision, 507 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 7: bring those policies into action. And the results will speak 508 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 7: for themselves, and so we're excited. We've seen a dramatic 509 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 7: turnaround in our two biggest districts and we're really excited 510 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 7: about the direction of the state. 511 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: That's pretty exciting. 512 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: The data won't lie, it'll show the progress that's being made. 513 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 2: So I want to talk a little bit about teachers teachers' unions. Obviously, 514 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: Congress has opened up an investigation into anti Semitism that 515 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: may have been proffered right in the middle of the 516 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 2: National Education Association or the largest teachers unions in the country, 517 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 2: making some of their members feel uncomfortable because they were Jewish. 518 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: Are you beginning to see teachers break away from the 519 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: unions and say that's not what I represent and I 520 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: don't need a union. Is there a moment here for 521 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: either an independence movement from teachers from the unions or 522 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: an alternative union that represents a little bit more common 523 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: sense vision of education. 524 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 7: Yoh oh, We've seen it dramatically here in Oklahoma. We've 525 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 7: we've seen teachers leaving the unions and record numbers. We 526 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 7: have one of the lowest union enrollments we've had in 527 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 7: decades here in Oklahoma. 528 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 6: You're seeing it in other red stakes because they've woken. 529 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 7: Up to what the NEA and AFT are doing, which 530 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 7: is pushing the most radical left wing agenda in the 531 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 7: history of the country. You've got groups now that are 532 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 7: popping up all over the country that are going, hey, 533 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 7: let's leave the teachers unions. Hey, what about things like 534 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 7: merit pay? What about things like getting back to the 535 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 7: basics in education? What about things like bringing discipline back 536 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 7: to the classroom. These are things that good teachers go, whoa, WHOA, 537 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 7: where's that been. It's like, well, the union hasn't been that. 538 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 7: We knew the union had been looking out for kids. 539 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 7: But the union, here's a real reality. They don't look 540 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 7: out for good teachers either. The only thing they look 541 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 7: out for is their bottom line. They want more money 542 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 7: and more power so they can push their left wing ideology. 543 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 7: And now we see more and more teachers across country 544 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 7: waking up to that, going what am I doing in 545 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 7: this union? I would love to see merritt pay. I 546 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 7: would love to see education get back to the basics. 547 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 7: And so it's a very exciting time. But look, I 548 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 7: think President Trump has about killed the teachers Union. I 549 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 7: mean he has exposed them and shown the right vision 550 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 7: for education. So now parents are demanding the teachers' union 551 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 7: out of their schools, and teachers are leaving it in droves. 552 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 553 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the effort by the 554 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: Trump administration to bring education the core values, the emphasis 555 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 3: back to the parents. On the local level and the 556 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 3: state level. Education Secretary Lenna McMahon is blazing up the 557 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: highways of this country. 558 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from her? 559 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 3: She's out visiting places across America. 560 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean, they couldn't be doing a better 561 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 7: job about here's what we're going to do. We're gonna 562 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 7: get the federal government out of the way, and then 563 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 7: we're going to put in place of vision for education 564 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 7: that frankly, look, everybody should get behind you. I mean, 565 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 7: as I go on and talking around the state, to go, 566 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 7: whether you're left, right or center, getting back to the basics, 567 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 7: understanding American history, using free market incentives in the classroom. 568 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 7: These things should be universal. The look, the radical left 569 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 7: takes the right and they've hijacked the Democrat Party. But 570 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 7: when you just get folks with any common sense, they go, yeah, 571 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 7: what's the problem with all this stuff? This sounds amazing. 572 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 7: So President Trump has unified the American people behind a 573 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 7: vision for education. We haven't seen that in decades. And 574 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 7: then he's actually bringing it into fruition by saying, hey, States, 575 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 7: here you go. We're going to move the federal government 576 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 7: out of the way. We are going to empower you 577 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 7: all to do these things. 578 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 4: In states. 579 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 7: Oklahoma, we're leading the way, and we're going to take 580 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 7: that vision and we're going to make it happen for 581 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 7: our kids, for our parents, for our schools. And so 582 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 7: they are truly not only bringing the vision for states 583 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 7: to be able to follow, but also giving us the 584 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 7: mechanisms to do in that by getting the federal government 585 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 7: out of the way and empowering. 586 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: States real quickly. 587 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: Before we go contemporaryious history, we'll give us some lessons, 588 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: perhaps for young children. We've got socialists and communists trying 589 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: to run for mayors in big cities. Is this a 590 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 2: learning moment for youngs to udents and maybe their teachers? 591 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 7: It absolutely is. I Mean one of the things that 592 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 7: used to just shock me as a teachers. I'd have 593 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 7: kids coming to go, well, why wouldn't we try socialism 594 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 7: or communism? 595 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 6: I go, Okay, guys, that's what we're going to talk 596 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 6: about this class. Those things have happened. 597 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 7: I mean, if you don't remind kids about history, you 598 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 7: see it repeating itself day in and day out. I 599 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 7: think it's a great teachable moment case these ideas have consequences. 600 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 7: We can go back to history and see what happened. 601 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 7: And you have people today that act like this is 602 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 7: some great idea that they just came up with. 603 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 6: Absolutely not. 604 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 7: History tells us what happens when you follow these woke ideologies. 605 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 3: This theory is a very good teacher.

We're a first principles organization. 668 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 8: Our mission is to speak truth to power, and we've 669 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 8: known each other for a long time and we are 670 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 8: equal opportunity critics. 671 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 4: Is that you know, we're. 672 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 8: Willing to go after Republicans if they're spending too much money, 673 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 8: and the same is absolutely true with Democrats. So my 674 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 8: critique of Zora and mndamie is not based on the 675 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 8: Clovers Jersey, but what the data tells us and John, 676 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 8: the lesson from history of this important teaching moment shows 677 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 8: very very clearly that the best way to make something 678 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 8: expensive is for government to make it affordable. That I 679 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 8: believe is the story that has shown the data that 680 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 8: we've collected and opened the books. But it isn't just 681 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 8: our data. 682 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 6: It's really true throughout history. 683 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 8: And let's just let's get a little lesson of over 684 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 8: the past twenty years when government has gotten involved in 685 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 8: major sectors of the economy like health care and education, 686 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 8: there's no secret that the quality of the services has 687 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 8: gone way up in terms of cost. So hospital services 688 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 8: over the past twenty years, two hundred percent increase in 689 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 8: cost education and tuition over one hundred and seventy five percent. Increase, 690 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 8: food and beverage as almost double. There's lots of subsidies 691 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 8: for that. In the ag sector, housing has gone up 692 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 8: seventy five percent. Again, all of these things the government 693 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 8: says are going to be more affordable have become more expensive. Meanwhile, 694 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 8: areas that have not been overregulated or overly subsidized, like 695 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 8: new cars, have gotten a little bit cheaper. Cell phone 696 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 8: services has gotten about the well fifty percent cheaper. And 697 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 8: a good one is television's when you go through Best 698 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 8: Buy or any big store, it's amazing how much TV 699 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 8: you can get for your dollar compared to ten or 700 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 8: twenty years go. And where have the subsidy has been 701 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 8: for those new TVs? While there haven't been? And so 702 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 8: the point is is that the market and free people 703 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 8: allocate scarce resources far more efficiently than government. So again 704 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 8: we have this teaching moment. We have a candidate in 705 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 8: New York City's or but Mondani, who is pledging to 706 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 8: make things affordable, but his role policy proposals it's just 707 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 8: more and more government subsidy and more and more top 708 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 8: down command and control governance. So he wants to make 709 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 8: our sanctuary city. He actually wants to strengthen, in his words, 710 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 8: New York City sanctuary city laws, which will make you know, 711 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 8: housing and all forms of services more expensive. He wants 712 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 8: to restrict and he's in the past he said he 713 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 8: wants to defund the police, while that is going to 714 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 8: make police policing far more expensive. And he wants to 715 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 8: do this by raising taxes in areas that he is 716 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 8: described as as richer and wider. So that's the agenda 717 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 8: that he's running on. And you know, John, these are 718 00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 8: not new. 719 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 6: Ideas in history. We've seen this play before. 720 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 8: We saw in the Soviet Union, we saw during the 721 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 8: Cold War, And sadly, I think this generation is going 722 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 8: to have to relearn that lesson. So if I would 723 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 8: give you an optimistic note, I think the lesson is 724 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 8: going to lead to the same point is that the 725 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 8: best way to make something expensive is for government to 726 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 8: make it affordable. 727 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 3: I don't know how targeting certain areas based on the 728 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 3: color of most people's skin in that area is not 729 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 3: overt racism by New Yorkers, but at any rate, I 730 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 3: want to ask you about some of these things that 731 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: are a part of his affordability agenda, a rent freeze, 732 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 3: free buses, obviously, the grocery the government run grocery stores, 733 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: thirty dollars minimum wage. What happens when the city can 734 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 3: no longer pay for this or do you think that 735 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: they will even get instituted to begin with? 736 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 8: Well, look, I think what's going to happen is if 737 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 8: these policies actually go into effect, and I think some 738 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 8: of them will, we're going to see an exodus that 739 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 8: is already happening really accelerate. And so I give a 740 00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 8: lot of credit to my friends at ALEC, you know, 741 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 8: John and Williams. They've done the Rich Dates Poor States. 742 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 8: We'd love to do a study called rich Cities, Poor Cities, 743 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 8: and I think it's going to lead to the same 744 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 8: conclusions that when when you overly tax, overly regulate a 745 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 8: certain certain states, but I guess true of cities as well, 746 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 8: what you see is you see a declining tax base, 747 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 8: and so you can try to increase taxes. But the 748 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 8: problem with socialism is Margaret Thatcher so aptly put it, 749 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 8: is that eventually you run out of other people's money, 750 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 8: so there won't be any tax payers to tax to 751 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 8: fund all these free you know, free grocery stores, free bussing, 752 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 8: free tuition, free childcare, and just. 753 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 6: The list goes on and on. 754 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 8: Is that again, these these ideas of wanting to help 755 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 8: lower income people comes from a very it's a very 756 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 8: emotionally appealing, right, but it's it's counterfeit compassion. Everyone wants 757 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 8: to see lower income people do better. But the way 758 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 8: to do that is to allow bottom up innovation, not 759 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 8: not use top down command and control legislative proposals that 760 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 8: are going to increase taxes and actually disproportionately hurt lower 761 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 8: income people. You know, in New York City, for example, 762 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 8: the wait times for nine to eleven calls have gone 763 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 8: up dramatically because they haven't they have it properly funded 764 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 8: the police. 765 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 4: Well is that is that? 766 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 8: How does that make anything more affordable? It makes the 767 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 8: cost of doing business more expensive. It creates untold human suffering. 768 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 8: And so again we know how the story unfolds, and sadly, 769 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 8: I think New York City, if he's elected, is going 770 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 8: to have to relearn these lessons again. 771 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we only got about three seconds that will 772 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 2: give us an update just on where the city is 773 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 2: before you even start spending this money. It's like ten 774 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 2: or thirteen billion dollars in debt right in the red. 775 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's right, there's there's a huge shortfall of New 776 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 8: York City's I think it's I think it's sixteen billion. 777 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 6: So far in that city. 778 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 8: And and look there's the other part of the story, 779 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 8: just real quickly is there? You know, I wrote a 780 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 8: book called the Debt Bomb with Tom Coburn. Okay about 781 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 8: the federal now, but you have debt bombs all over, 782 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 8: particularly blue states where there's unfunded pension programs that when 783 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 8: the bill comes due, it's going to have incredibly negative 784 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 8: effects again on middle and lower income people disproportionately. 785 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a taking time bomb, and it's much 786 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 2: larger than people people know. John Hart, everybody go check 787 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 2: out the amazing work he does at Open the Books. 788 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 2: Great to have you on, my friend. Thanks for joining 789 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 2: us tonight. All right, sixteen billion, Amanda, yikes, wow wow, 790 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 2: and that's just one sention? Wo Yeah, whoever in a detortination. 791 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 2: All right, we're gona take a quick commercial break when 792 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 2: we come back. More and more parents everythinking sending their 793 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: children to expensive DEI riddled Northeastern universities. Where are they 794 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 2: going instead of going to reveal that answer next. 795 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 3: After the COVID lockdowns and anti Semitic violence on the rise, 796 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 3: and so many colleges push anti American and DEI driven agenda's, 797 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 3: families are rethinking where to send their kids. More and 798 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 3: more Southern schools are taking the lead, replacing the once 799 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 3: great Northeastern universities that used to be the gold standard 800 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 3: for elite education but have since gone off the rail. 801 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 3: So joining us now to discuss that and much more 802 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 3: as Campus Reforms Editor in Chief, Doctor Zachary Marshall. Doctor Marshall, 803 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 3: thanks so much for being here. 804 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 9: Always great to be here. 805 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 3: Listen. As an SEC graduate, I am very happy to 806 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 3: hear that Southern schools are moving into the fold as 807 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 3: elite institutions across this country. Tell us about this shift. 808 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, we're seeing Southern universities become the gold standard for 809 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 9: what a good education is. And it's across the South. 810 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 9: It's across the tiers of university rankings too, So Clemson, Auburn, Emrie, Vanderbilt, 811 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 9: they're all getting more selective, all getting more prized. And 812 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 9: that is because over the last ten years especially, parents 813 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 9: have realized that they are cheaper and more seen, they 814 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 9: are better on institutions on the whole, compared to Northeastern 815 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 9: universities that went all in on ideology as the reason 816 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 9: for being on campus, whereas Southern universities, and I see 817 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 9: this as a professor at the University of Kentucky, Southern 818 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 9: universities on the whole think more in terms of rational 819 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 9: and logic of how to run an institution. They care 820 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 9: more about what works best rather than what looks best 821 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 9: or what feels best. And that is the core difference 822 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 9: for why you have the BLM Summer of twenty twenty, 823 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 9: COVID protocols and the anti Semitism crisis that was in 824 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 9: the Northeast particularly, is driving high school students to Southern universities. 825 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 2: Amazing When I look at it, it's hard to underestimate 826 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: how important just a common sense governance structure, a just 827 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 2: good leadership, just common sense. I think of Amanda and 828 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 2: Auburn and SEC and common sense is the first thing 829 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 2: I think of. And in the mid Midwest and particularly 830 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 2: in the Northeast, it seems like common sense is out 831 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 2: the window at the leadership level, at. 832 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: The governance level. 833 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: Do you think the trustees of these universities are beginning 834 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 2: to understand the liability that creates for. 835 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 9: Them absolutely, And I give one hundred percent credit to 836 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 9: the federal funding that the Trump administration is freezing. That 837 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 9: has been the most effective tool we have seen to 838 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 9: get the trustees to wake up. Because trustees by and 839 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 9: large are risk adverse and they are center left. They 840 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 9: are not the same kind of leftists that are teaching 841 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 9: at universities. These are business people, politicians, foreign politicians, minor celebrities, 842 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 9: entrepreneurs who don't want to cause rucus. They don't want controversy, 843 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 9: and they don't want their names in the spotlight. But 844 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 9: the investigations, the settlements, the freezing of federal funds are 845 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 9: all bringing their names into spotlight and putting them under scrutiny. 846 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 9: And that is what's making them force the administrations and 847 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 9: the faculty to shape up. And while we've seen settlements 848 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 9: at UPenn, at Brown, at Columbia, So while I don't 849 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 9: think that Northeastern universities are irredeemably damaged for the rest 850 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 9: of the time, I think this is a generational shift, 851 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 9: and it's going to take a generation for those elite 852 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 9: universities to regain their footing and regain their reputation. 853 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about the Universities of Florida 854 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 3: and North Carolina, their university systems. They have among the 855 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 3: strongest track records of enforcing DEI bands, so they also 856 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 3: were not allowing a lot of these protests to really 857 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,720 Speaker 3: percolate and get to the point where it was extreme 858 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 3: and violent and riotous. Talk to us about the way 859 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 3: that those administrators handled that, because I know that they 860 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 3: had to have been getting pushed back from a vocal minority. 861 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 9: They absolutely were. I mean Ben Sas when he was 862 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 9: president of the University of Florida, came out almost immediately 863 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 9: and said we're just not going to tolerate anti semitism 864 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 9: on campus. We're not going to tolerate violent protests. That 865 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 9: was significant in that it wasn't that big of a 866 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 9: to say that, But he was also really the only 867 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 9: president saying it at the time, and you had people 868 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 9: at UPenn, Harvard, Columbia, and others in the Northeast all 869 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 9: saying that it's context dependent whether or not that calling 870 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 9: for genocide is anti semitism. So there was a more 871 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 9: clarity that you saw from the University of Florida system. 872 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 9: There's another moral clarity from the UNC system as the 873 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 9: University of North Carolina got further and further away from 874 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 9: DEI madness and reallocated those resources back to campus safety, 875 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 9: which was compromised at Northeastern colleges during the anti Semitism protests. 876 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 9: So you have a group of students on campuses in 877 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 9: the South at that time who were there because it 878 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 9: was cheaper, the weather was nice, and they liked football. 879 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 9: Realizing that, oh, a rational logical approach to running universities 880 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 9: also makes our quality of life much better than at 881 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 9: Columbia or Harvard. And that is why we are seeing 882 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 9: the universities down there get so much more prize gets 883 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 9: so much more selective. Northeastern universities are going to help 884 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 9: their emissions rates, their acceptance rates, but they are increasingly 885 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 9: dependent on foreign students to fill it. To fill those gaps, 886 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 9: sothern universities are growing in popularity among American students. 887 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 2: Common Sense this past spring gave us a really interesting 888 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 2: look at students who weren't prepared for the world. They 889 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 2: were being unleashed, and there was one student I think 890 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,760 Speaker 2: we couldn't read getting out of college. There are others 891 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: who said they weren't ready for the job world, that 892 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 2: they were in. What impact is that having on parents, 893 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: and also what impact is it having on the discussion 894 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 2: to maybe for some parents and push their children toward 895 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 2: trade schools. 896 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: We got about a mid left. 897 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 9: I think the left has pushed a lie for decades 898 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 9: now that everyone needs to go to school and everyone 899 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 9: is entitled or deserves to get a four year degree 900 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 9: in gender studies, that is ridiculous. There is nothing shameful 901 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 9: about hard work, and there is nothing ignoble about being 902 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 9: an electrician or being a plumber. And we need to 903 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 9: focus more on those core skills. And we really need 904 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 9: to have a new generation of leaders and people in 905 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 9: the economy who are productive contributors to our economy and 906 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 9: to our society. We can't have so many Gen z 907 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 9: ers showing up to job interviews with their parents. As 908 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 9: Campus Reform just reported, we need a complete shift in 909 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 9: our approach education. 910 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 3: Guess what, the more and more grids we have to 911 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: build because of AI, the more and more construction workers 912 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 3: and electricians we're going to need. Doctor Zachary Marshall, always 913 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 3: a pleasure for having you with us. Campus Reforms editor 914 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 3: in chief. Everybody go check out their work. They do 915 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,919 Speaker 3: splendid splendid work. All right, everybody, We've got some final 916 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 3: thoughts for you coming up after this break. Welcome back 917 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 3: to our final segment of the show. I want to 918 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 3: start with Kilmar Abrigo Garcia, the l Salvadorian man, the 919 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 3: man who has been living in Maryland. He illegally. He 920 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 3: denied that plea deal. So now he is subject to 921 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 3: deportation again, possibly to Uganda. He doesn't want to go there. 922 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 3: He's saying that he would be subject to persecution and abuse. 923 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 3: Does MS thirteen do they operate in Uganda? I don't 924 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 3: think so, Noll. 925 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: Right. 926 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 2: Now, he's got a friend as a judge. I mean, 927 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 2: this judge keeps intervening and blocking things. But at some 928 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,320 Speaker 2: point it's going to get up to the next level 929 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 2: and Abrigo Garcia is going to be in another country 930 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: not called America, and the President will prevail on this. 931 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 2: This guy has gotten so much attention for a guy 932 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: who we know what he did, We've chronicled it. It's 933 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 2: this is the case that will shake out the president's 934 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 2: authority for a long time to come. 935 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 3: And it's apparently the hill to die on for Democrats 936 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 3: when it comes to saving this guy and keeping him 937 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 3: here Stateside. So that's that's an unf fortunate banner to 938 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 3: be hanging above your party, but also an unfortunate banner 939 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 3: to be hanging of your party. Is crying, decrying jerry 940 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 3: mannering when it's Republicans and defending redistricting when it's Democrats. 941 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 3: While the Vice President Jdvance came out in support of 942 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 3: what Texas did their legislature, citing the fact that Democrats 943 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,919 Speaker 3: have jerry mandered their states for a very very long time. 944 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 3: In fact, I think there are at least five or 945 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 3: six states that have zero Republicans represented in Congress, and 946 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 3: he stated that the GUP is only trying to make 947 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 3: the situation a little bit more fair, which I think 948 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 3: is positively true. 949 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 2: And they've got to respond to the Justice Department letter 950 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 2: that said that they were out of compliance Texas is 951 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,479 Speaker 2: so it is in Texas's fault they started this. Here's 952 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 2: what's going to happen. I think Texas will get approved 953 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 2: by the Justice Department. I think the Justice Department will 954 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 2: block the overt efforts by California maybe some others because 955 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 2: they're admitting what they're doing. 956 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: They're admitting it. 957 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just revenge and revenge is not a grounds 958 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 2: for mid decade registricting. 959 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: So I bet you there'll be an injunction against the. 960 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 2: Blue states, and the only one that'll get through, or 961 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 2: one of the few that'll get through, will be Texas. 962 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,880 Speaker 3: Alrighty well. According to CNN, crime rates in Washington, d C. 963 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 3: For both property and property crimes and violent incidents have 964 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 3: gone dramatically down following President Trump's deployment a federal police 965 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 3: in the nation's capital. John, I am seeing them everywhere. 966 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 3: I saw a whole fresh group with them this morning, 967 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 3: and now they're armed, and I feel so unbelievably much safer. 968 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 3: We now have this new spot that we are moving to, 969 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 3: very close to the White House. It's gonna be wonderful. 970 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: It is. 971 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a common sense approach to law and order, 972 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 2: just a return to the way things used to be 973 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 2: when you arrested bad guys and you kept them in prison, 974 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 2: you didn't let them out just because you want to 975 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 2: create a social experiment that might put your other fellow 976 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 2: Americans at risk. And so this is it isn't rocket science, 977 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 2: but it feels like rocket science because of the way 978 00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 2: the city has been run for so long. Something that 979 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 2: is a little bit rocket science sciencey I just made 980 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: up two bad words there.

The executive 1008 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: order charges the Attorney General with identifying jurisdictions that still 1009 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 3: have cashless bail implementations to withhold their federal funding. This 1010 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 3: happens in blue cities all across this country. I'm sick 1011 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 3: of it. The people of la are sick of it 1012 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 3: when they see recidivistic offenders, and it's time for it 1013 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 3: to be done. 1014 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: Common sense, common sense. Oh yeah, so. 1015 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,240 Speaker 2: You're not going to believe this, But while James Comey 1016 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 2: and his FBI were investigating Hillary Quinton's private email server, 1017 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 2: the FBI had its own private email problem. We're going 1018 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 2: to tell people about it on Wednesday. Yeah, we got 1019 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 2: through documents today. 1020 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: Yep. It's hard to believe. And they knew it. 1021 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 2: And then when the authorities that were in power knew 1022 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 2: about it, they wouldn't let the FBI go get the 1023 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 2: emails and see what they were talking about. 1024 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 3: John, how many times have we seen what was a 1025 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 3: shrink would call psychological projection where democrats will sling something 1026 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 3: at President Trump or or someone who is on the 1027 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 3: right side of the aisle wind. In fact, they are 1028 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 3: doing it themselves, the FBI doing it at the same 1029 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 3: time as Hillary Clinton, and you know, when it came 1030 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 3: to the documents, Joe Biden doing it, apparently John Bolton 1031 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 3: doing it. 1032 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, hypocrisy reigns supreme in this town. But I also 1033 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 2: think it was a strategy to get themselves out of 1034 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 2: trouble by get out in front, make the other. 1035 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 1: Guys that make the bad guys. Yeah, absolutely well it 1036 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 1: worked for a while. 1037 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 3: It did work for a while, and I think that's 1038 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,800 Speaker 3: probably why they continue to do it, because they thought that, well, 1039 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 3: you know, we're going to have our cronies, for lack 1040 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 3: of better terms, We're going to have our people in there, 1041 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 3: so we'll be protected, all right, everybody, We appreciate you 1042 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 3: joining us tonight, and we are going to be making 1043 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 3: the move to our new studio throughout the week, so 1044 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 3: you might see things a little bit differently.
