out total
0:34
shutdown total shutdown is a word that
0:36
used to SK two words that used to scare
0:38
Democrats but now gosh they seem so
0:41
hellbent on actually having a government
0:43
shut down looks like they failed at that
0:45
but this is something different see the
0:47
Democrats are really upset about Doge
0:49
the department of government efficiency
0:51
they're they're very upset about this
0:53
they're very upset about the money being
0:55
saved and now we're finding out the
0:57
Department of Education is next on the
0:59
list we've seen 50% of their staff
1:02
actually get cut
1:04
50% now if you know anything about the
1:07
Department of Education then you know
1:10
that test scores have steadily fallen
1:12
for American students since its creation
1:14
by the late President Jimmy Carter in
1:16
the
1:17
1970s it has been an unmitigated and
1:20
total
1:21
disaster and it has really hurt
1:23
education more than anything else it's
1:25
done one good thing if you're a member
1:27
of the teachers union it's put a lot of
1:28
money in the heads of the unions pockets
1:31
it's done a lot for teachers done a lot
1:32
for especially the union heads not a lot
1:35
for the students and we're falling
1:37
behind the rest of the world and I often
1:39
believe that education belongs in the
1:41
hands of those in the state and local
1:43
level who know the kids best I think a
1:46
lot of people feel that way well Linda
1:48
McMahon the great Linda McMahon love her
1:52
she announced that the goal here is a
1:55
total shutdown of the Department of
1:57
Education the department she heads
2:00
I want you to watch what she has to say
2:02
here and let me know what you think in
2:03
the comments Adam secretary great to
2:05
have you in studio today all right first
2:09
welcome to the show because you haven't
2:10
been on in in studio with me before now
2:12
is this the first step on the road to a
2:15
total
2:16
shutdown uh yes uh actually it is
2:19
because that was the president's uh
2:20
mandate is directive to me uh clearly is
2:23
to shut down the Department of Education
2:25
which we know we'll have to work with
2:27
Congress you know to get that
2:28
accomplished but what we did today was
2:30
to take the the first step of of
2:33
eliminating what I think is is
2:35
bureaucratic bloat and that's not to say
2:37
that a lot of the folks uh you know it's
2:39
a humanitarian thing to a lot of the
2:40
folks that are there you know they're
2:42
they're out of a job but um we wanted to
2:45
make sure that we kept all of the right
2:47
people and the good people to make sure
2:49
that the outward facing programs the the
2:51
grants the Appropriations that come from
2:54
Congress all of that are being met and
2:56
none of that's going to fall through the
2:57
cracks so is is that was my next
2:59
question to the the criteria for keeping
3:02
that 50% is related to expenditures and
3:06
Key Programs correct like Congress
3:08
appropriates the money that is going
3:10
through Title One to Ida programs what's
3:13
that stand for well I you know what I'm
3:15
not sure I can tell you exactly what it
3:17
stands for except that it's the programs
3:19
for disabled okay uh and and needs
3:21
individuals with Disabilities Act I
3:23
think I'm guessing I don't know I don't
3:25
know all my acronyms I've been here for
3:26
30 years you should this is my f day on
3:28
the job and I'm really trying to learn
3:29
very quickly right it's a lot so um
3:31
reports today said that the buildings um
3:34
were going to be closed for security
3:36
reasons what what does that me well when
3:38
people left today and they they got
3:40
their notification uh to take their
3:41
laptops and their phones home with them
3:43
and we didn't want part of the people
3:45
who were being permanently let go and
3:48
those who are remaining to Al to some of
3:50
them show up to work tomorrow morning so
3:52
that's standard corporate practice
3:53
standard corporate practice that we just
3:55
uh we just locked the doors and said for
3:57
those that are coming back will know
3:58
that they'll be coming back on Thursday
4:00
morning were people given a chance to
4:01
take any personal effects they were told
4:03
that they will be allowed to come back
4:04
we would arrange for them to come back
4:06
and take their personal effects with
4:07
them and to say goodbye to some folks
4:09
too Randy wein Garten you're shocked I
4:11
