00:03:47.780 of jasmine crockett maxwell frost robert garcia people that you'd not seen before just step up the
00:03:54.500 leader is today but the publicly perceived leader is hakeem jeffries right because he's got to make the
00:04:00.200 case he's that we're winning the house he's terrible but that he's the leader of the party and he's got
00:04:04.720 in the fall position only yeah but he's he's the reason i don't trust guys like hakeem is because
00:04:09.920 he's so willing to still bend a knee to the old regime he's not going to ever speak out against
00:04:15.540 chuck schumer he's never going to do that but i can but he you're not the leader oh but you're zero
00:04:22.880 you're a giant zilch no one cares about you i we only had you on the show because we couldn't get
00:04:28.560 anyone else uh i gotta i gotta tell you i mean i love this idea of the avengers you know the super
00:04:36.600 team of democrats i mean i think that's fantastic especially when they name all which one would
00:04:42.860 play captain chaos or comrade chaos which one would which one would that be we can redistribute
00:04:48.480 everyone's superpowers equally rendering all heroes equally mediocre uh you know i i wield the hammer and
00:04:56.420 the sickle and a hammer and a sickle themed boomerang that always misses its target it's great
00:05:01.740 it's great it's great who would play that i wonder uh gosh i i've just i just i i mean their outfits
00:05:10.280 though would be great wouldn't they i mean they they have to have you know they have to have i don't
00:05:16.520 know gender bender goliath who is part of the superpower team and you know i could change anybody's
00:05:22.700 outfit in a into a fabulous but impractical costume at any given time i can do it i just
00:05:28.360 look down the street i'm like i'm gonna change your outfit right now and you shoot rainbow lasers that
00:05:35.040 make people argue about pronouns for our for hours and hours and hours on end it's fantastic

00:05:46.460 fight for a fight for a world where every day is a mandatory costume parade and that'd be
00:05:53.100 that's me of course my weakness is i can't resist stopping to fix my hair in any reflective surface and
00:06:01.760 that's kind of bad but more parades oh my god these that no that'd be good that would be really really
00:06:10.020 really good somebody's got to get on vo and uh on google and make a short movie of the democrat
00:06:17.460 super heroes i just think that would be i think that would be good it would be good you know the
00:06:25.200 one you know their their weaknesses might be you know i get distracted by long manifestos and all of
00:06:31.660 them are long and uh you know sometimes i fall asleep you know in my own speeches but then comes terror
00:06:37.900 titan i summon the cloud of glittery smoke that causes confusion and mild irritation and i can
00:06:44.340 monologue for hours about disrupting the system without making any point and then stand up for all
00:06:50.500 the terrorists that are here in the country because i'm i'm a superhero i champion chaos replacing all
00:06:58.020 the traffic lights with disco balls you know and i'm gonna and our national anthem's gonna only be
00:07:03.680 played by a kazoo in every single sporting event where only transgender people can compete because
00:07:10.740 those are the real men or women or which what you know what i'm saying my gosh oh i love it i love it
00:07:19.780 they are so unbelievably clueless by the way stew i don't know if you know this but i've i'm gonna come
00:07:26.300 clean uh i am leaving the democratic party and i'm gonna write a book um about it oh wow really
00:07:33.520 officially yeah you're out officially officially i'm out of the democratic party and i'm gonna write
00:07:39.480 a book um uh because because they lied to me this whole time i didn't know i didn't see it they were
00:07:47.220 lying this whole time and my gosh how did i not see it i i mean they just made me look like a joke
00:07:54.940 i love that story i i can't get enough of it and now today all of the former biden aides who said
00:08:07.220 nothing about her this entire time are all out like knives out coming after her which i just can't
00:08:15.000 love enough i just every single thing we said for four years is now being backed up by democratic
00:08:24.580 sources we should cherish this moment a little bit it is fun what is she leaving for did she say
00:08:30.620 i couldn't find that anywhere it's weird i you know the only thing that is indicated in what's been
00:08:36.360 released so far is this is corinne john pierre we're talking about by the way i don't know if we've
00:08:40.360 set that up but corinne john me and me and glenn and glenn is i'm leaving officially out even the
00:08:46.800 democratic also i'm out and i'm gonna write a book like corinne john pierre you only like women so
00:08:51.560 you're also lesbians you've come out in two different ways today um but the only thing that
00:08:57.480 they uh they mentioned in the report seemed to be that she was angry at the democrats for
00:09:04.660 abandoning and betraying joe biden which is fascinating in a million different ways
00:09:13.640 she's actually standing by joe biden she's like she finds out quote air quotes here she
00:09:21.440 finds out now that the whole thing was a sham and she's like oh you should still stand by him
00:09:27.140 i mean not too close because he smells like he just pooped his pants but
00:09:31.500 yeah i think so again we don't we are and i say this uh we are literally judging a book by its
00:09:40.340 cover at this point so we don't know what the book actually says but it does seem to indicate that
00:09:45.640 strangely after it comes out still no one will know what it i don't know this is what i might read i
00:09:52.200 i want to hear every horrible word that comes out of her chat gpt mouth in this particular book
00:10:01.520 all you have to do is say go on to chat gpt and say what would a book read like if corinne john pierre
00:10:12.680 wrote a book uh uh and it will write it and it will probably be word for word because she's not writing
00:10:18.820 that book no she's not writing i can't imagine i what would a book read like from someone who can't
00:10:25.220 read or write i don't know i mean it's difficult uh to figure oh my gosh are you saying that because
00:10:30.260 she's a lesbian or because she was super nice dressed or because she's black or why why are
00:10:36.720 you saying that she's an idiot glenn that's why uh she's an idiot that's why i'm saying yeah
00:10:42.000 forgot about that she was a complete total idiot yes um but but i don't know if you saw this reporting
00:10:50.280 but it's it's fascinating to watch it because they are everything we said about her she's incompetent
00:10:55.200 she makes more problems than she solves how many times do we say how does she have this job this is
00:11:00.760 insanity and it's all in the reporting today they all can admit it now because she's no longer a
00:11:08.020 democrat it didn't matter that she was ruining the country and the communication between the
00:11:12.780 white house and the american people that was not a concern for them at all they're concerned now
00:11:17.820 because she's not she's no longer saying she's a democrat one of the quotes of the article is
00:11:22.380 she has lost her only constituency party line democrats which is such a good point it's such a good line
00:11:31.480 but it's true the only possible defense for her this entire time was you were defending every
00:11:38.200 democrat no matter what they did it's the only defense because she was terrible at every single
00:11:43.280 aspect of her job and now the one thing she had which was the d after her name is god and now people
00:11:50.500 can finally tell the truth apparently uh you know speaking of uh d's after your name and i mean
00:11:57.920 d for dunce um the women of the view are really i mean they're just not the sharpest first of all
00:12:06.540 sunny holst uh hoston's uh view on elon musk i mean can we play this please so really he saved our
00:12:15.060 country less than one percent nothing but the damage that he did was just really incredible he slashed
00:12:22.700 250 000 federal employees more than 8 500 contracts more than 10 000 grants and his cutbacks
00:12:31.460 on medical research cost the lives of for the foreign aid cost 300 000 lives mostly children
00:12:39.180 that's the damage elon musk did so show me that stat show me that stat show that to me cost the lives
00:12:48.480 of 300 000 mostly children show that stat to me i want the names i want to know i want to know the
00:12:55.820 exact numbers how they died she said she's like i don't think anybody should be listening because he
00:13:01.260 kills children no that's not elon musk elon musk is making children lots and lots and lots he may
00:13:10.280 replace all 300 000 children that you say died by when wednesday of next week he's kind of constantly
00:13:18.660 he's making children yeah like always it it is the elon musk pastime it seems that every other day we
00:13:25.860 hear about more of them um so i don't i mean an elon musk commercial would be oh geez time to make the
00:13:32.160 children he's always making always how can i mean geez he's very concerned about population growth uh
00:13:41.700 i guarantee yeah it's interesting because if you happen to be listening on the radio or podcast
00:13:46.280 you can't see sunny doing a current john pierre and reading every word of that so as you point out
00:13:53.560 it's not just her making something up it's not just her trying to remember something she saw someone
00:13:58.580 tweet someone has given her the information that 300 000 people have been killed by this medical
00:14:05.280 research that it doesn't even seem to be cut in the bill that they're trying to pass which is
00:14:12.200 fascinating um i i'm gonna look glenn i will i will see um if i can find the source of it there's got to
00:14:20.320 be i assumed it's something but i i don't know okay now the view went on to say uh that each
00:14:28.580 elon has dirt on president trump now now listen to this on the flip side those republicans if you're
00:14:35.000 in a house district you're like i'm afraid of donald trump but elon musk because of the dark
00:14:39.640 money system we live in he can come in and primary you by just pouring millions and millions into your
00:14:44.580 race and then there is that stop stop stop how unbelievably rich is this and i'm when i say rich
00:14:52.600 i mean in a george soros sort of way they are now concerned about dark money where somebody who is
00:14:59.600 a billionaire can come in and just primary you does george soros come to mind at all
00:15:07.360 oh my gosh i can't take it i just can't take it but wait there's more afraid of donald trump but elon
00:15:16.440 musk because of the dark money system we live in he can come in and primary you by just pouring
00:15:20.660 millions and millions into your race and then there is that that you know if one was going to
00:15:25.360 think you know oh maybe this happened you know elon knows the 411 on everything yeah he got all
00:15:33.120 that information he knows how all this came down so now suddenly he's like well oh harumph
00:15:39.340 i'm so angry so trump should be afraid of him because i think trump is he has only seats on the
00:15:46.480 election too i think he is afraid well 20 stop so now it's election conspiracy now trump didn't win
00:15:56.640 elon musk may have well he at least knows how trump fixed the election so election denier election denier
00:16:04.880 that is bad for our republic it is they're destroying the republic they should be silenced
00:16:09.760 election denying now from the ladies on the view and they're they're saying that elon musk
00:16:15.480 terrifies donald trump can i tell you something the and i mean this sincerely i think the only thing
00:16:20.700 that terrifies trump is nuclear war it's the only thing i have ever seen him talk about or respond to
00:16:28.060 that seems to really scare the crap out of him and that is all-out nuclear war uh i don't think
00:16:35.160 he's afraid of elon musk you know i i just i i don't i don't uh but you know they find that the
00:16:42.500 left finally has their dream come true let me tell you about berna i you know i'm i'm not a big fan
00:16:48.460 of fear never have been but i do believe in being ready because sometimes trouble doesn't you know kick
00:16:53.840 down the door sometimes it just shows up at the park on a walk you know on your driveway you're
00:16:58.540 stopping for gas you know you're alone and you don't have time to wish you had been prepared either
00:17:05.860 did or you didn't prepare for whatever could happen this is why i carry a berna launcher it's why i got
00:17:12.760 a berna launcher for each member of my family i think they are so important this is not a firearm
00:17:17.200 it doesn't require a permit it's powerful it launches high velocity projectiles filled with pepper
00:17:23.300 and tear gas um giving you a non-lethal way to stop people right in their tracks without hesitation
00:17:29.460 and without any regret and you can be up to 60 feet away from them their new compact launcher is
00:17:34.620 even smaller easy to carry you know whether you know in uh concealed you know in your belt or
00:17:40.300 you know in your purse if you happen to be a woman or i'm not judging you can carry a murse i
00:17:45.540 who am i to say it's light it's quick and gives you options in the moments that matter the most
00:17:51.160 it is a berna launcher you don't have to be paranoid to be prepared you just have to love
00:17:55.420 life and you know do the right thing to defend your life and your family's life and the peace

00:18:22.360 the podcast this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for
00:18:26.360 listening all right i want to talk to you about something um and tie some some dots together that
00:18:32.580 others aren't going to tie together for you i hope i'm wrong on this but i don't think i am we
00:18:37.220 are closer to a true global war than any time in at least my lifetime i believe and if you think
00:18:43.820 that's hyperbole let me walk you through three things that are happening right now and they're
00:18:48.600 not in secret they're not in back rooms they're in broad daylight right in front of all of our eyes
00:18:53.220 and no one is really talking about it first of all last night the u.s embassy in kiev the u.s embassy
00:19:00.140 in kiev issued a chilling message to american citizens still in ukraine it said quote be prepared
00:19:06.520 to take cover that's that's the american embassy's words it's not a drill it's not a policy review
00:19:13.060 they're urging people to find bomb shelters stockpile food and water and prepare for mass
00:19:19.780 missile strikes why because ukraine just launched one of its most aggressive operations yet destroying
00:19:26.260 the strategic bombers on russian home soil and russia is going to respond that crossed a line for russia
00:19:33.760 and now russia is preparing quote shock and awe in a response they're not hiding it they're promising
00:19:41.980 it now and for the first time in this conflict it looks like the battlefield is about to spill far
00:19:48.300 beyond ukraine that alone is enough to send tremors through the global order but this is not all that's
00:19:56.940 happening at the exact same time yesterday the governments of france and britain the two most
00:20:04.380 symbolically uh loaded uh loaded uh loaded powers in in western europe that are our allies reportedly
00:20:12.140 preparing to unilaterally recognize a palestinian state which would effectively legitimize the government
00:20:21.180 of hamas and the broader rejectionist front against israel okay not after negotiations not after
00:20:29.900 hostages not after peace unilaterally um france and england are going to recognize a new state for
00:20:40.460 palestine where is that state we don't know jewish citizens are being targeted hunted set on fire in our
00:20:48.300 own streets in new york los angeles boulder colorado in uh england in france all over this is happening
00:20:58.700 this is the world turning upside down so there's number two the very nations that stood against nazism
00:21:06.460 in world war ii and fascism now inching towards rewarding a terrorist regime and redefining redefining
00:21:14.940 century-old alliances in the name of appeasement and political fashion it hasn't worked out before
00:21:23.180 it's not going to work out well this time but it gets worse number three rather than pushing for
00:21:31.260 de-escalation with russia france and britain are now doubling down on what they are calling a coalition
00:21:37.900 of the willing not to end the war with ukraine but to win the war they are actively now arming ukraine
00:21:47.340 with long-range missiles capable of reaching into russian territory while russian generals warn this
00:21:54.380 will lead to a direct retaliation with nato assets so let's be very very clear when missiles start
00:22:01.260 flying from nato territory into russian command post what's come what will come back will not be limited
00:22:09.180 to the front lines we are on the precipice of two converging wars one between russia
00:22:20.540 and another long simmering between islam islamism and western civilization
00:22:28.380 so the west will come under attack from russia and its allies and the the west will come under attack
00:22:36.620 from islamists and europe which is the birthplace of democracy the enlightenment of
00:22:45.100 classical everything christian heritage seems hell-bent on feeding both fires at once in particular
00:22:53.260 it is france and england so let me ask you how does this sound like a path to peace
00:22:59.420 it sounds like the first chapter in a book on civilizational collapse and why why are these
00:23:07.660 decisions being made now well you've got the socialist government that's out of control in france you also
00:23:15.020 have the socialist government that is out of control in england and the ruling class in not just france
00:23:21.500 and england but all over europe in the progressive movement here they no longer believe in the pillars
00:23:27.260 that held the west together they believe the old world has to burn so the new world order can rise up
00:23:35.020 this is the economic forum mindset it is also coincidentally the exact same mindset of those
00:23:43.900 who are islamists especially those who are 12ers in iran burn the world down so a new world order can begin
00:23:52.700 you've got the open borders you have the central banks that are out of control you have you have equity
00:24:00.700 at the cost of merit you have censorship in the name of safety you have deconstruction of the nation
00:24:07.660 state in favor of what a global technocracy if the eu collapses as it will when member states descend
00:24:17.420 into civil unrest or economic ruin so many people who are at the top of our countries will not see this
00:24:26.860 as a tragedy they will see this as an opportunity they'll see it as a necessary breaking of the old guard so
00:24:34.220 they can consolidate all power into a single european authority under emergency power it's
00:24:39.980 always temporary it's always temporary you know and it's always for your safety until it's not temporary
00:24:44.860 and it's not for your safety and you realize way too late this is what's going to happen you're going
00:24:49.340 to destabilize certain countries in europe they're going to start to fall it'll go into chaos and the eu
00:24:55.420 will say you know these nation states are beginning to fail we've got to we've got to make it bigger
00:25:01.340 and we've got to make it the eu and really give the power to the eu just temporarily and this isn't
00:25:09.740 conjecture this is the pattern of every revolution that promised utopias and and then delivered tyranny
00:25:16.940 this is the way it happens so what does it mean for you well it's going to mean your energy prices are
00:25:25.420 going to spike again your food will cost more if any of these things happen and this is not even
00:25:31.740 talking about our own debt price crisis or the unrest in our own streets god forbid that happens
00:25:39.180 it means your retirement savings if you're lucky to have some will face a new inflationary shock but
00:25:45.580 more than that it may mean that your kids and my kids are going to be drafted into wars you didn't vote
00:25:51.900 for to fight for a world order you never agreed to and spiritually you got to get your house in order
00:26:02.380 because you're going to have to stand for truth and tradition and that is going to be labeled as
00:26:06.940 subversion very soon
00:26:11.580 if you're asking how close to a war like any we've ever seen before how close are we i'd say we're
00:26:18.460 already at the beginning of it you just you just haven't heard the starter's gun yet
00:26:24.060 but when it does go off it's not going to sound like a bomb in the distance it's going to sound
00:26:28.540 like chaos on your screens lies in your news feed disruptions in your bank account fear in your
00:26:35.900 neighbor's eyes but you know this already i think i'm just trying to give you the signposts of where
00:26:43.020 we are some things that are that are happening and happened last night that are very very disturbing
00:26:48.700 i'm telling you this too so you can prepare yourself so you can be fully awake so you can
00:26:54.220 make decisions in your own life i'm making huge decisions right now that will affect my life and my
00:27:01.420 family's life um right now i'm i'm about to take some serious risks on some things because i believe in
00:27:09.260 them i believe times are changing and uh i'm being very very cautious and careful but not living in
00:27:20.780 fear you just have to be awake and know you know i'm a betting man i've i don't like i don't ever go to
00:27:31.020 i don't go to vegas but if i have to bet on something i will bet on myself because i know what
00:27:36.780 i'm capable of i'm not i'm not uh i'm not sure what everybody else is capable of uh i always always
00:27:45.980 overestimate the good things and underestimate the bad things with with other people but i can bet on
00:27:52.780 myself i just want to know the odds before i lay anything down on the table um because i don't like
00:27:59.020 vegas i know the house always wins but when i have to bet on myself i'm the house i'm the house
00:28:07.580 and i'll i'll roll those dice i'll i'll take those chances but i i want you to know because
00:28:16.620 it's important for me to know and my family to know what's coming you know i've i've been really
00:28:22.780 good at looking over the horizon and seeing things i don't know why i have this skill i i think it's a
00:28:30.780 gift from god i mean i don't think i figure things out i think he shows things to me i know he does
00:28:37.340 um but i've always been good at connecting dots that nobody else seems to be able to connect
00:28:42.540 and seeing what's coming over the horizon i just suck at timing um
00:28:51.020 but as i see the things that are coming over the horizon um you know we thought we won
00:28:56.700 when we put donald trump in um and we may have slow we may have slowed the train down but this
00:29:03.900 train has already left the station uh and you know where it stops i i don't know but it already left
00:29:14.380 the station and you know if we don't do things and i'm going to bring this up again and i don't mean
00:29:21.420 to sell you on this because i know i'm not sure what to do honestly but uh if we don't do things like
00:29:28.220 pass the big beautiful bill or in this case don't pass a bit whatever you decide i don't know i think
00:29:34.300 pass it uh it's only going to make things much much much much worse and our demise quicker um
00:29:44.860 and i've always been able to see over the horizon but i i will tell you
00:29:50.380 stew you remember i i used to you know back in the 90s i would tell you stuff about what was going
00:29:55.020 to happen now and you know we kind of laughed about it because it seemed insane but a lot of
00:30:02.060 that has come true right yeah for sure a lot of the stuff that you were worried about 10 20 years ago
00:30:07.180 are kind of facts of life these days yeah and even in the 90s when we were talking about ai i mean it's
00:30:13.500 shocking to me that it's here now i can't tell you what the world is going to look like in 2030 that's
00:30:20.220 that's not normal for me um i'm usually pretty good at seeing the over the horizon and going this
00:30:26.860 is going to play this way and it's probably going to go this way and i might be wrong on timing and
00:30:30.300 stuff but the general direction i'm i can't tell you what the world looks like in 2030.
00:30:36.780 so it's it's you know i don't i don't say these things to do anything but awaken you tell you you got
00:30:42.540 to get serious you got to secure your family you have to know your neighbors you have to learn our
00:30:47.820 history you must build your faith secure your own testimony if you don't know god you're just
00:30:56.140 feasting off of somebody else yeah i know god because you were taught you know you should believe
00:31:00.620 in god that's not going to be good enough but most of all you have to speak the truth even when it's
00:31:08.300 dangerous maybe especially when it's dangerous because that's when it matters the most you can't save
00:31:15.180 a civilization if we're afraid to defend the civilization or we don't know the principles
00:31:21.900 of that civilization so do all of those things to prepare for whatever is coming our way next but
00:31:31.420 i wanted to give you a quick in 10 minutes you know the quick uh signpost of what has just happened
00:31:37.660 in the last 24 hours and the kinds of things that are happening in our own country uh but they're a
00:31:43.980 little farther ahead on in europe and the crazy crazy things that france and uh england are currently
00:31:53.340 talking about doing and probably are going to end up doing them because i don't know i think they're
00:32:00.380 crazy and i think they bought on to the whole world economic forum view of the future this is the best
00:32:08.060 of the glenn beck program so we have uh secretary uh linda mcmahon she's secretary of education she
00:32:17.900 testified yesterday in front of the senate appropriations committee on president trump's
00:32:22.620 2026 uh budget last night we did a special on blaze tv why trump's war on harvard is a major threat to uh
00:32:30.940 elites and there were two things that happened yesterday uh with the universities that's one of the
00:32:36.780 the reasons i just i love the uh administration i mean uh nobody's gonna nobody's gonna stop these
00:32:43.660 guys but uh welcome to the uh program uh secretary mcmahon how are you i'm terrific glenn thanks for
00:32:51.100 having me on it's really nice to uh be with you and your listeners today yeah thank you thank you so
00:32:56.860 two things that happened just yesterday first with columbia's uh title nine uh violation and a threat to
00:33:03.180 their accreditation and the second president trump halting new foreign student enrollment at harvard can
00:33:08.140 you can you uh take me down the road yet of what happened yesterday well with um you know with
00:33:15.820 columbia it really was it was title six so we're looking at civil rights i'm sorry title six you're
00:33:21.180 right sorry no that that that's okay so that's been one of the things that you know has been on the agenda
00:33:25.980 for our talking to uh harvard and as well as columbia you know we just uh we can't allow
00:33:33.020 these title six you know violations to continue and there's this you know uproar um in the media
00:33:38.940 they're always talking about that we are trying to infringe on you know freedom of speech and i say no
00:33:45.900 no no this is not that at all uh this is not a freedom of speech violation this is a civil rights when
00:33:51.900 students cannot feel safe on campuses um you know then uh we we have to take we have to take action
00:33:59.660 and uh you know one of the things that i think what you might be addressing is that yesterday we sent a
00:34:04.380 letter to the accreditor uh for columbia that said that you know these uh the columbia is in violation
00:34:10.620 of its uh of title six and therefore you as an accreditor have to take very seriously your
00:34:16.460 responsibility of looking as to whether or not this accreditation should still stand uh and if
00:34:23.260 and if they can no longer be accredited then a lot of the students that are going there now etc
00:34:29.260 would be impacted by that so i think this is a uh it's a serious matter to bring before columbia
00:34:35.820 uh and i think they're going to be responsive i hope they'll be responsive to it you know very quickly
00:34:41.260 yeah you know i don't understand how title six uh isn't understood by you know these liberal
00:34:47.980 universities i mean everybody understood what jfk and rfk did when you know people were being harassed
00:34:54.780 because of their skin color but now it's suddenly okay you know if you harass a jew for being a jew
00:35:01.340 um that's suddenly okay it is exactly the same thing that martin luther king was fighting for and
00:35:07.660 somehow or another they they're they're standing against what martin luther king believed in
00:35:14.620 well i agree and so that's why the president has been so absolutely adamant in fact he campaigned
00:35:20.300 on this and he's certainly fulfilling his promise during the campaign which was that he was not going
00:35:25.740 to tolerate uh you know anti-semitism on these especially in these elite college campuses you know
00:35:32.620 where i do believe that a lot of the instigators are not necessarily students currently enrolled i
00:35:40.540 think a clear number of them are but i also think they're outside agitators coming in which is one of
00:35:45.980 the reasons in our conversations with both columbia and harvard and others is that we must uh you know
00:35:51.900 prevent these protesters from being able to wear you know full masks or headdresses that you know that
00:35:58.620 cover their face uh and and uh preempt your being able to identify who they are um and so i i think
00:36:06.620 there's there's not been a great deal of pushback on those requirements uh still um you know they the
00:36:12.540 universities want to make sure that any student who is uh wearing any particular kind of covering as
00:36:18.860 as it's a religious or for health reasons that um that those you know be allowed um but uh you know to
00:36:27.180 and and and it goes along too with what the president is saying now is that we also have
00:36:31.740 to make sure we are vetting these students are asking these universities to vet these students more
00:36:37.180 carefully uh who are coming in and also the um you know the professors they're hiring what is their
00:36:42.540 ideology now this is again i'm not trying to tell universities how to teach but when harvard by its own
00:36:49.340 stats say that only three percent of its um of its teaching faculty are conservatives i don't think
00:36:56.460 there is the diversity of viewpoint which we would require uh you know of of these major institutions
00:37:03.020 it just doesn't make sense you know there's uh also i know you're looking into um uh berkeley
00:37:09.820 and harvard for their connection of uh to china and unreported funding from uh from china what do you know
00:37:17.740 about that well you know it's it's already um a statute on the books section 117 that requires
00:37:26.940 universities to report the amounts in the source of um of foreign funding uh and so you know it's not
00:37:34.940 just harvard and columbia there are many universities across the country that are not up to speed in doing
00:37:39.740 this so it's one of the things that we are cracking down on to make sure that we uh we do know the source of the
00:37:45.740 the source of the funding uh and uh so uh you know we're we're just getting all of these um
00:37:51.900 all these ducks in a row uh to make sure that everyone is abiding by the law well i will say
00:37:58.540 there's a disturbing story that came out yesterday about two chinese scientists that were is it michigan
00:38:05.980 or wisconsin i can't remember one of the universities university it was university of michigan
00:38:10.460 okay tell the story this is so disturbing well it was uh and i and i i didn't hear the full story but
00:38:18.620 what i was listening to yesterday morning on the news was that uh it was discovered uh that one of
00:38:24.780 the students in his backpack uh what they showed on on television were four ziploc bags and in each bag
00:38:32.060 was this little bud of a fungus that could absolutely be introduced into agricultural crops
00:38:37.980 uh you know with a blight and i could destroy the crops and then of course if you're ingesting
00:38:43.740 uh some of these materials we weren't sure exactly what kind of health ramifications could we could
00:38:49.500 have on our population so you know this is the kind of thing when the president is saying we have to crack
00:38:54.220 down and understand who these um students are that are coming into our universities and how we're vetting
00:39:00.140 them um you know to know as much information as we can because this is really dangerous stuff i heard um
00:39:07.180 yesterday in a conversation with um secretary brooke rollins who was really talking about um you know
00:39:13.660 protecting our food crops in our country is not just because we feed the world but it is because we have
00:39:21.260 it is a clearly part of our defense as well to make sure we are safe as a nation yeah it's really
00:39:29.180 disturbing when our universities um are allowing these things to go on and they're so they're already
00:39:37.420 so hell-bent against western civilization and the united states and then they allow these um these
00:39:45.100 poisonous cells to come in uh and stir up hatred for israel for jews for anybody um but then take money from
00:39:54.700 one of our biggest enemies china and allow experiments to happen with a fungus that they smuggled in uh to
00:40:03.500 do to do this work these two chinese uh scientists come in smuggle it in and the program is run by two
00:40:11.740 other chinese uh members this is not this is this is a recipe for real real problems how confident are
00:40:21.260 you that you know your um you know your role in the administration and donald trump are just you're
00:40:27.580 not you're not going to give up and you're going to win on these things well we we clearly are uh you
00:40:34.620 know continuing to put measures in place but the you know the authority that um that i have
00:40:41.580 at the department of education and that other agencies have like hhs like gsa like uh doj any
00:40:48.940 of the agencies that uh provide federal funding to any of these universities that we do have the ability
00:40:55.180 to withhold funding once we do our investigation and have our findings and i'm very happy that that
00:41:01.340 you know we are doing that um because we you know turning up but i mean this was such a clear
00:41:06.460 violation yesterday with these two scientists and and discovering you know these um uh this fungus
00:41:13.500 uh in these ziploc i if i'm if i recollect what i was watching on television maybe it wasn't a ziploc bag
00:41:20.940 but that's clearly what it looked like uh that it was it was wrapped in plastic yeah and that they had
00:41:27.260 them had them in the had them in his backpack uh so you know came right from customs you know with
00:41:32.700 everything and so you wonder what would happen if that you know kind of exploded in his backpack
00:41:39.020 and i don't know any of the science behind that but that's just you know taking a far-fetched leap but
00:41:43.660 you just never know with this stuff and i think here's the president looking again at uh uh you know
00:41:49.580 blocking travel from a lot of these uh countries that we can't do thorough vetting on the people that are
00:41:55.180 coming in um i i think is a is a correct measure to do and uh and we just have to keep looking at all
00:42:01.740 these violations you know from these universities and our heaviest hammer is in title six uh also you
00:42:08.300 know in title nine uh relative to allowing you know men and women's sports so we've got a couple
00:42:14.140 here here at the department of education a couple of heavy hammers are you are you still on a timeline
00:42:20.460 here of shutting down the department of ed i mean is is there some do we have an idea of if this is
00:42:27.580 going to be happening to transfer the education control back to the states and we're going to
00:42:31.260 really shutter this thing or not well we are currently now enjoined um you know by by uh by by
00:42:40.780 district court i think it's a district court uh that it said that we could not uh proceed any longer
00:42:47.020 uh not only did it enjoin uh shutting down the president's executive order to shut down education
00:42:53.260 but uh it is enjoying some of the actions that we have taken even actually before i got here which
00:42:59.100 were reducing staff at the department of education said that we now have to rehire all of those people
00:43:04.620 um and it's just it's a crazy kind of injunction i believe we will prevail uh at the supreme court but
00:43:10.860 right now we can continue to think about programs uh you know and maybe think about planning relative
00:43:19.740 to uh returning education to the states but actual actions we are um in a pause at this particular
00:43:26.620 moment due to this injunction i mean you you came from the private sector you're a self-made you know
00:43:33.020 woman uh i mean you've gone from wwe to something even crazier in washington you don't need this job
00:43:42.780 why are you doing it well i i know it's it's kind of a it it always sounds uh you know like the typical
00:43:52.540 answer but you'd like to give something back i just think those of us who have been in the private
00:43:59.500 sector or who have different levels of expertise to be helpful in our government and see a real need
00:44:06.060 need to step up and have service because well it's no different than the president uh and i think he's
00:44:11.660 set you know an incredible example for the uh the rest of us to follow um so if you if you have the time
00:44:18.620 and the skill set and he's put trust uh you know in the cabinet officials that he's brought on to
00:44:25.260 accomplish the goals that he has that it's uh i think it's a really big calling you know to be
00:44:29.740 able to do that and i'm honored to be here at the department of education and um and and to serve in
00:44:35.420 our government you know for the second time i i was honored uh to be at the small business
00:44:40.060 administration in his first term uh so um i'm happy to be back to be able to do what i can
00:44:46.380 and to lend whatever levels of expertise i have uh to you know this mission
00:44:50.940 and it's good to talk to you thank you for everything you're doing i appreciate it and
00:44:56.140 we wish you godspeed and good luck on on everything you're working on appreciate it
