focused on renaming schools and playing politics. and they've even saddled our district with a $125 million deficit. our children can't wait for new leadership. here's our chance for a fresh start. on february 15th, please recall school board members collins, lópez and moliga before our kids fall even further behind.

and that's it for us tonight. join us tomorrow as we examine how right-wing radio feetds its listeners a steady diet of lies and conspiracies and "don lemon tonight" starts right now. >> you are going to need a lot more than an hour for that. >> i think that's just one segment, sadly. >> you need -- you need weeks, upon weeks, upon weeks. i will tell you a story. so, um, i was home with my mom for the holidays once, and we were driving to new orleans and, um, we were just flipping through the radio. like i haven't listened to traditional radio in such a long time. and we were flipping through, and i found the conservative channel. and um, that has been at least two or three years. my mom has never changed it. she says because, sometimes, i'm driving to wall mart, don, and they are talking about you. and they say your name but i don't recognize the person they are talking about. >> i have had -- you know, um,

rush limbaugh would occasionally drop my name to his listeners, and it wasn't in the best possible way, i will just put it that way. >> really? >> yeah, i am shocked as well. but, don, you raise a great point, i mean, and we will get into this tomorrow. you know, this -- this whole right-wing, you know, conservative talking point medi liberal and so on. rush limbaugh was the most popular radio host in america, and you could drive to almost any community across the country and hear his voice and thaz that has been in existence since, my goodness, i mean for decades. and so it just goes to show you how powerful this medium is, even to this day. >> well, the problem is with that and with the fox-propaganda network is people don't realize it is opinion, it is not based in fact and that's why we are dealing with our democracy in peril right now. >> absolutely. >> not to mention, jim, can you believe joe biden? i mean, the big new controversy is joe biden got an ice cream cone. can you believe that? how dare he? >> yes.

>> i think he should be impeached. i mean, if you see it over there, it's like the worst thing to happen since the christmas tree. >> it's -- it's either that, or many mouths or, i mean, don -- it's your program, now, we are in your hour. but that is why i call it the bullshit factory. i mean, that is why -- >> wear that tan suit tomorrow when you do the radio thing. thank you, jim. i will see you tomorrow. this is "don lemon tonight." we got to talk about the president because as we know, he's got a lot on his plate. um, we will get to the ice cream. you are not going to believe this ice cream thing. you want to stay up just for that. but president biden making history today. officially, announcing that he will nominate the first black woman to the supreme court. >> choosing someone to sit on the supreme court, i believe, is one of the most serious constitutional responsibility a president has. the person i will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity and

that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the united states supreme court. >> well, you heard the president of the united states, joe biden. he says he will nominate someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience, and integrity to the supreme court. a black woman and the fox-propaganda network's mouthpieces go crazy! it's like he set their hair on fire. >> but to exclude certain candidates based solely on race and gender is beyond extremely divisive. it may even be illegal. biden didn't mention the supreme court nominees' legal qualifications or judicial philosophy or ability to perform one of the most important jobs in the country. he didn't even tell us she was a nice person. all he said was she is going to be black, and she is going to be female because to him that's all that mattered. >> okay. so, can you imagine the -- there are people who sit there all day the channel does not change and

all they hear is that -- what jim acosta just said, that bs? that's all they hear. they don't hear the facts. i am going to give you the facts right now. all right? so, if you are hate watching, pay attention. you are going to learn something. because i guess those guys are just not paying attention over there. do they not hear him say, extraordinary qualifications? did they not hear him say character? did they not her shim say experience and integrity? there is something showing. you know what's showing. you can figure it out. but here is the funny thing, though. this is where the facts come in. they had no complaints when the former president promised to nominate a woman to fill the vacancy left by the death of ruth bader ginsburg. roll the tape. >> it will be a woman -- a very talented, very brilliant woman. [ cheers and applause ] who i haven't chosen yet but we have numerous women on the list.

>> ah, oh! oh! [ laughter ] a very -- hey, charles, can you replay that for me again? because it's very similar to what joe biden said. highly qualified character, black woman. but go on, let's play it again, please, thank you. >> it will be a woman. a very talented, very brilliant woman. who i haven't chosen yet but we have numerous women on the list. >> don't bother to send me your hate stuff on social media. there is the evidence. you know who that woman turned out to be? amy coney barrett. so, it was okay for the previous president to restrict the candidates to women. what's different now? what is different now? hmm. what could it possibly be? let's go back in history a little bit because i just want to point out back in 1986,

ronald reagan chose antonin scalia for the supreme court, in part because he was italian american. reagan -- the gold standard of republican presidents, right? well, he used to be. not in this -- not in this current republican party. reagan's white house counsel at the time said in an interview with "the washington post" -- and i quote -- i think reagan felt that it would be great to put an italian american on the supreme court. he had all the usual american instincts. we don't have an italian american on the court so we ought to have one. he really felt good about doing that. it wasn't principle so much as the kind of emotional commitment. come on, people. don't be hypocrites. okay. let's go back a little bit further in history, right? same president during his campaign against jimmy carter. this was in 1980. reagan, again, promised to select a woman for the supreme

court if he was elected. >> i am announcing today that one of the first supreme court vacancies in my administration will be filled by the most qualified woman i can possibly find. one who meets the high standards i will demand for all court appointments. it's time for a woman to sit among our highest jurists. >> what's different? you guys, as you like to say, what's different, you guys? come on. the woman he is talking about, the next summer, he nominated sandra day o'connor. so, there is a long history of republican presidents taking into account gender, even ethnicity, in making their supreme court picks. despite republicans like nikki haley implying the are president's pick will be some kind of affirmative action hire. was affirmative action part of the hundred-or-so -- i think it was 108 white men who were on the court?

was there affirmative action when ronald reagan said italian american, antonin scalia, maybe we should do that. we should do a woman, sandra day o'connor. oh, and trump said should be a woman, amy coney barrett. come on, nikki haley. we see you. look. representation is important. your lived experience matters when you are deciding the kind of issues that come before the supreme court -- issues that could change the face of america. but there is more from the fox-propaganda network and tucker carlson -- you knew there would be. but even for him, this is a new low. >> you have to wonder at this point, since we're going by skin color and gender, why joe biden is ignoring the obvious choice. why doesn't biden strike a real blow for equity and just nominate bridget floyd? that was george floyd's sister. she is not a judge or a lawyer or whatever. but who cares? clearly, that is not the point

anymore. this law stuff. >> i hope they see this, so they can see how ridiculous what they're saying is. okay. so, you -- you can almost hear him chuckling about owning the libs there, right? owning the libs by mocking the sister of jogeorge floyd, black man who was murdered by a then police officer in a brutal and excruciating attack seen by millions of people all around the world. millions of people, who took to the streets of cities everywhere to demand justice. that word -- justice. justice. you know, the very thing the supreme court is supposed to dispense? maybe, that's why they call them justices. so, let's hold off hope that the confirmation process for the -- this president's nominee can be carried out with some dignity, with some civility, the kind of civility the president promised to restore. let's hope the nominee doesn't get treated like the 6th circuit nominee, andre mathis.

remember, not so long ago, republican senator marcia blackburn slammed him for three traffic tickets, all at least a decade old, and referred to that as a rap sheet. >> it has been made public that he has a rap sheet with a laundry list of citations, including multiple failures to appear in court in tennessee. we expect our judges to respect the law, not disregard it. if mr. mathis thought he was above the law before, imagine how he'll conduct himself as -- if he's confirmed. >> always so outraged. it's so funny, the people who like to call people snowflakes are so -- they just clutch their pearls like a black woman, oh, my gosh. i hate to be so dramatic but it's true. you can't help it. it's the hypocrisy is just off the charts.

it is just so ridiculous. calm yourselves, people. black women are part of american culture. the most educated among americans, by the way. the backbone of the democratic party. why wouldn't a democratic president nominate a black woman to the supreme court? it makes all kinds of sense. hello. heller. all this is happening as our fever of extreme politics is on full display in governors' mansions across the country. just look at the races like the governor's race in idaho, for example. brad little is his name, who you would think would be the darling of the maga mob with the heartbeat abortion ban. the nation's first transgender sports ban and who the former president called a terrific gentleman. well, he is facing a primary challenge from his own lieutenant governor for not being extreme enough. he is not the only one. governors in texas, georgia,

oklahoma, south dakota, alabama, massachusetts, and ohio, also, facing challenges from the right. and you have to wonder what kind of direction this country is heading with all that lunacy, all that extremism. what kind of country allows the thought police to run riot on holocaust remembrance day? a tennessee school district, banning the pulitzer-prize winning graphic novel maus which tells the story of his jewish parents in the 1940s and 1940s poland from their early experiences of anti-semitism to their treatment in auschwitz. the novel portrays jews as mice, as nazis, and as cats and nazis as cats. but that was apparently too much for the school board. okay? what kind of country encourages people to snitch on their own neighbors?

you have to hold up a mirror to this because it's really -- this is not about being left or right. this is truth. i am speaking facts. these -- this is truth. everything i have said is based in fact. virginia governor glenn youngkin encouraging parents to call a tip line to report any school officials teaching so-called divisive subjects. is this what this country is turning to? where is the book burning? when does that happen? talk about cancel culture. republicans are the cancel-culture queens. a country, where we snitch on teachers if we don't hike what they teach. a country where we are afraid to tell the truth about the holocaust? really? it might make someone feel bad to -- the truth?

a country where lies put our health and the health of our democracy at risk. or are we a country like the one justice breyer talked about -- a country based on the constitution and the rule of law? one, where all men and women are created equal. >> it's a kind of miracle when you sit there, and see all those people in front of you. you -- people that are so different in what they think, and yet they've decided to help solve their major differences under law. and when the students get too cynical, i say go -- go look at what happens in countries that don't do that. and that's -- it -- people have come to accept this constitution and they have come to accept the importance of a rule of law. and i want to make another point to them. i want to say, look, uh, of course, people don't agree but

we have a country that is based on human rights, democracy, and so forth. but i'll tell you what lincoln thought, what washington thought, and what people today still think. it's an experiment. it's an experiment. that's what they said. >> it's an experiment. how are we doing with that? how are we doing with that? the former-president barack obama told "the atlantic" magazine -- this was in 2020 and i quote here -- you can follow on your screen -- america is the first real experiment in building a large, multiethnic, multicultural democracy, and we don't know yet if that can hold. there haven't been enough of them around for long enough to say for certain that it's going to work. that was 14 months ago. that he said that. before the insurrection at the capitol. that was before then. and we still don't know, yet, if it can hold.

so, the battle already beginning over president biden's supreme court nominee even before he is made his choice. why are some on the right so worked up about the idea of a black woman on the highest court in the land? >> it is my intention -- my intention to announce my decision before the end of february. i have made no choice at this point.

...so at at&t everyone gets our best deals. aren't others doing that? others say that, but not everyone gets the best deal. like what if i give you a lollipop... then i give you our best lollipop. that's not fair. at at&t we think it's only fair that all customers get our best deals... ...and you get a choice of plans. she said everyone? it's not complicated. only at&t gives both new & existing customers our same best deals, like up to $800 off our most popular smartphones. are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort? taking align can help. align contains a quality probiotic to naturally help soothe digestive upsets 24/7. try align, the pros in digestive health. and join the align healthy gut team up and learn what millions of align users already know.

>> look. first of all, i think no confirmation battle is ever easy, particularly in this kind of environment. obviously, it depends on the nominee. but let's set that aside. what you just played from fox news is so disgraceful to me because what you had there was an anchor denigrating the qualifications of all of these qualified women by mocking george floyd's sister. it's -- it's disgraceful. it's insulting to any of those potential nominees, and i think what that does is -- for republicans who may have ideological differences and likely will with anyone that joe biden nominates, right? >> uh-huh. >> it -- it lowers the debate. it's -- it's -- i mean, there are -- it's hard to find words to describe how disgraceful it is for him to have done that. these are qualified women.

and instead, he mocks all of them and not one of them has been chosen yet, by the way. imagine what it's going to be when one of them is chosen. >> yeah. gloria, i think you are right. listen. you said it's insulting to those women. i think it's insulting to women, in general. black americans. all americans. it's insulting, i think. >> well, it is and it's insulting to the process. it is insulting to the court. it's insulting to the president. i mean, go down the list. >> yeah. >> elliot, we are already seeing jabs from republicans over biden's commitment to picking the first black woman to the highest court. former united nations ambassador nikki haley tweeting this. would be nice if pres biden chose a supreme court nominee who was best qualified without a race-gender litmus test. that's what i did when i picked tim scott as senator of -- oh, my god -- her black friend. i just got -- what -- where is the lie? >> some of my best senators are black. >> some of my best senators.

>> what that was saying there, don. so, you know, look. let's pretend for a moment that this is purely an affirmative action pick, and he is only picking someone on the basis of there being a black woman. they had literally found probably the five most-qualified human beings in the united states to be federal judges. ketanji brown jackson went to harvard twice. has been a federal judge for eight years. um, and a federal public defender. leondra kruger -- my former colleague at the justice department -- went to harvard and yale. has argued before the supreme court 12 times. if you don't want to make this about fancy ivy-league degrees, then michelle childs from south carolina went to the university of south carolina and has been a federal judge. so, this isn't a question of the person being qualified or not qualified. it's merely the use of the word black. no one who is grumbling today probably complained about president reagan and thank you, don, for playing that clip. far more than the president trump clip because of what ronald reagan's role is with respect to conservatism and

affirmative action. and so, what's this about? it is about the use of the word black. that's what this comes down to. >> let's talk about that a little bit more because even republican-conservative icon, right, ronald reagan as we just mentioned committed to choosing a woman during his campaign. he also chose antonin scalia, as i said in part because he was italian american. that is according to his white house counsel. is -- isn't it important to have a diverse group on the bench representing everyone in this country, elliot? >> let me say, hey, not just -- not just diversity of personal identities and backgrounds. diversity in career experience, as well, so that the people who are making important decisions as judges don't just come from -- i'll say it -- the federal prosecutor -- former-federal prosecutor bubble or from big corporate law firms or so on. some of these folks are public defenders. cheryl eiffel whose name has been thrown out ran the naacp defense fund. sort of a nonprofit. different backgrounds people bring in how they see cases so

yes, it is critically important that women -- and as we were talking about with gloria earlier today, four of the justices on the court could be women soon. yes, that is critically important. just as important, though, is diversity and professional experience. >> i want to know, gloria, what -- because -- go ahead. go ahead, gloria. >> no, i was just going to say don't forget these people are appointed for life. >> yeah. >> so, they have to have had a life before they get to the bench. it would be useful for them to have had varied kind of experiences, other than the kind they have in -- in their robes on that -- in the court. >> so, gloria, we talked a little bit about the process and said, you know, you said nomination, no nomination process especially when it comes to a supreme court justice is easy, right? it is always fraught with controversy. >> that's right. >> but i'm wondering if -- if it's going to, you know -- your words -- disgraceful, how people are going to handle themselves during this process because we saw what marcia blackburn did, senator marcia blackburn. >> it really -- you know, you can never predict how low the

bar will get. uh, these days. i would hope -- and again, i -- it was so refreshing for me to listen to justice breyer today because his optimism may be infectious. i hope so. but um, i would hope that whoever is chosen, um, gets to go before the senate and talk about her qualifications, her record, what she's done, what she believes, in as much as she can do that. i don't for a minute believe that it isn't going to get nasty. i don't -- for all supreme court fights do get nasty as we know from recent history. but i would hope it is about the person, the character, as -- as biden was saying today, the person's integrity, the person's rulings. and you don't know if you are ever going to stick to that. all these things seem to go off

course as we know from -- from history. but we also know one thing here that is a big difference. and -- and republicans will fight their fight. different kinds of republicans are going to fight it different ways. but this time, you are not going to have a filibuster thanks to mitch mcconnell who changed the rules in 2017. so, you only need 51 votes. and it seems to me that joe biden, at this moment, at this juncture, is more likely to get that than not. >> you think he will get the nominee will get any republican votes, gloria? >> um, you know, i don't know. if it's judge jackson, she's gotten a few republicans in the past. and, you know, i -- you just can't predict whether someone coming from a state like south carolina would mean that they would get their home state senators. so, these things are really, really hard to predict because they tend to unfold like a story. and you learn a story about a

potential justice, and who they are and what they've done and how they've ruled. and that has to -- that has to kind of play out. >> yeah. gloria, elliot. i enjoyed this conversation. it is good to see both of you. and stay cool. stay dry. the bomb cyclone is coming to the east coast. thank you, both. the bad weather. thank you very much. i appreciate it. so, it is holocaust remembrance day. and what is a school board in tennessee doing to remember? banning a prize-winning graphic novel about the holocaust from its reading list. unlike most sinus treatments, it provides instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. its powerful decongestant targets congestion at the source, with a dual action formula that relieves nasal congestion and soothes sinus pressure by reducing swelling in the sinuses. for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours, try vicks sinex. from vicks - trusted relief for over 125 years.

yep, it's go time with wireless on the most reliable network. ok, that jump was crazy! but what's crazier? you get unlimited for just 30 bucks. nice! but mine has 5g included. wait! 5g included? yup, even these guys get it. nice ride, by the way. and the icing on the cake? saving up to 400 bucks? exactly. wait, shouldn't you be navigating? xfinity mobile. it's wireless that does it all and saves a lot. like a lot, a lot. okay so it's holocaust remembrance day, right? a tennessee school board has removed pulitzer prize winning graphic novel "maus" from its 8th grade reading list. an account of an experience with the holocaust depicting jewish

people as mice and nazis as cats. the board of education voted unanimous hi to remove the novel over what they call rough objectionable language, citing the use of the word damn and over a drawing of a nude woman which the author says is a tiny image of his mother's suicide. art spiegelman spoke out to cnn earlier today. >> has the breadth of autocracy and fascism about it and it has a real problem with asking the parents to be, um, onboard to -- to decide what it is okay to teach the kids. >> i want to discuss this with max boot. molly jung fas is here as well. contributing writer for the atlantic, where you can read her newsletter called wait, what? and that's where we are going to talk about this story. thank you both for joining us this evening. good evening. molly, members of your family have had their own books banned. this is really personal to you.

you said this isn't about profanity. it is not about damn. so, what is it really about? >> banning bookings is the kind of thing that's been going on for hundreds of years and it is about power and control and keeping people from reading dangerous things and thinking dangerous thoughts. and it's always, always, always the bad guys who ban the books. it is never the good guys who say, you know, you can be trusted with information because they are scared. so, it's a pretty easy, you know, sort of moral quandary. the good guys don't ban the books. they trust people to read information and process it. it's ironic right now because we live in such an age of technology that these kids just have phones. i mean, the idea that they would like sneak into the library to learn stuff they couldn't see on their phones is kind of really preposterous. but -- >> molly, or they don't hear in

their own homes. you know kids overhear their parents saying "damn." and when i was in school, we talked about the d-a-m dam, the water. people go he-he-he. i mean, that's what kids do. right? it is a ridiculous excuse. and, max, art spiegelman when he spoke to "new day" this morning, he compared this to atrocities and fascism. i mean, book banning was something embraced in nazi-era germany by apartheid in south africa and it shouldn't be lost on us that today is holocaust remembrance day. are you frightened about the direction from the gop? >> yeah, absolutely, don. i mean, the republican party today has far too much enthusiasm for banning books and ban banning school curricula. i mean, this one to me is just puzzling because, you know, in recent years -- or certainly in the last year -- republicans have been, you know, trying to

ban discussion of racism in this country under the rubric of fighting critical-race theory and you have had 14 states that have passed laws outlawing critical-race theory and you have some of these ridiculous abuses, like, you know, governor glenn youngkin in virginia trying to get parents and -- and students to rat out teachers or, you know, the governor ron desantis in florida trying to pass a law to make it illegal to instruct anybody in a way that makes white people uncomfortable. okay. i mean that's bad enough. but that's been something that we have been -- we've been seeing for at least the last year. and now, this thing with the "maus" kind of comes out of left field. it has nothing to do with race relations, nothing to do with critical-race theory. it just seems like there are a lot of republicans in this country who just want to ban books, and that's very frightening to me because i mean you don't have to even go to nazi germany or these other

horrible fascist examples. we have plenty of examples in this country of the same thing in the '20s and the '50s and the mccarthy era thinking back to the scopes monkey trial in the 1920s. i just thought we were better than this, that we were more cosmopolitan, less provincial, and more liberal and less dictatorial and i guess i was wrong. >> so, molly, republicans have made noise for years about free speech on college campuses. they love to use the term "snowflake," right? now, it is the opposite. it's -- do -- it's -- it's mind blowing and it's mind boggling, i should say, because shouldn't they understand that they are doing exactly, if not worse, what they are accusing others of doing? >> it is amazing because they are literally cancelling culture. they are cancelling culture. they say that they are against cancel culture. but what they mean is that they're against the cancellation of people they like, and people they agree with.

and it's so strange to me. i also think it's interesting that a lot -- you know, republican party has been very interested in getting sort of jews for trump and as a jew, i have always been a little bit -- i thought it was a bit strange that you would have these very religious -- on the religious right trying desperately to get jews to join them. and when you are a jew for trump and then you see they are taking away, you know, literature on the hol kaukt. l holocaust. like that is never good for the jews. when they stop teaching about the ho h holocaust, that is never good for the jews. >> thank you, both. appreciate it. virginia's governor says that his teacher snitch line is just a resource. but my next guest says it's all part of a division -- a culture division -- a culture war division. the president of the virginia education association speaks out, right after this. thanks to the cartridge-free

so we told you about virginia governor glenn youngkin's new tip line to snitch on taefters last night. told you about that last night. and well, let's just say it is not off to the best start. the inbox filled with jokes and memes from people all across the country. when the jokes die down, there is still going to be the snitch line. still be there. and critics are really concerned about this. the virginia education association saying it's a divisive distraction and their president, james fetterman, joins me now. good to have you, president fetterman. we really appreciate you joining us this evening. so, you are accusing youngkin of trying to, quote, pit educators against parents for political gain. tell me more about that. >> absolutely. uh, governor youngkin loves to talk about education but he doesn't like to talk to educators. and to be very clear, i sent him a letter back in november asking for a meeting to discuss our

priorities, and to offer assistance to his transition team. but to this day, he has not responded. he says he wants to know what's going on in our classrooms, but all he has to do is reach out. instead, he comes up with this demeaning tips hotline, and it's -- it's doing nothing but creating chaos and division within our -- our school systems. >> he is saying that the -- the governor is saying that, you know, he is defending this. saying that it's a resource for parents, teachers, and students to relay any questions or concerns. how do you respond to that? >> it's not a resource. it's a blatant attempt to -- to put educators against parents for his political games. you know, he seems to forget that many educators are also parents. and when the governor speaks of parent rights, he seems interested in speaking only to those who conveniently support his political beliefs. >> he's banned critical-race theory from schools.

even -- even though k through 12 schools already didn't teach the theory so i'm not sure why he banned it. he's barred local school boards from imposing mask mandates, which by the way, 73% of students in school systems that are still requiring masks, according to public radio station wvtf. now, he's got this new tip line. this -- what kind of effect might these policies have on educators in your state? >> there is already a teacher shortage. there is already a conversation of -- of educators wanting to exit the profession because of working conditions and undue stress and this is only going to make it worse. so, with the -- with the chaos and the division that he has created in the -- in the commonwealth, his unconstitutional executive orders -- again, they are just poorly conceived and all he is trying to do is intimidate the educators who are simply trying to do their jobs in the midst of a global pandemic. and the educators in virginia have stepped up.

they've done their job amazingly well without a playbook, without professional development. they -- they've just been the true educators that they were hired and that they were trained to be. so, we question really why -- why is he singling out educators? we just don't understand why. and all it's doing -- it's adding additional scrutiny. >> are you worried that you are going to lose teachers? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. our students in the commonwealth of virginia deserve the best and brightest and this sort of division, you know, our students are watching. and i often say, you know, our children are like credit cards. we can pay now or we can pay later. and, you know, continuing to single out educators -- it's only going to create a greater division in this great commonwealth. let's face it. we're forth in the country. we didn't get there by teaching divisive curricula. you know, it's -- it's done by intentional instruction by teachers truly understanding their students, and providing instruction according to their individual needs.

>> this is all about politics? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> what kind of example do you think this sets for kids if they see their parents using a tip line to tattle on their teachers? what are they going to learn from that? >> well, i -- i think for me it's the children don't have an issue with one wearing a mask. kids don't have a problem with learning the truth. i believe it's many of the parents, who don't want their children to know about some of the grim stories from their past. and what we need to do is to continue to teach the full and complete truth. you know, and a complete education must be rooted in facts and truth even if some of those are difficult facts, and even if some of those are are unfortunate truths. we must speak truth to power about our history and the commonwealth and the united states. >> you think people should still use that tip line just not as the governor intended.

what do you want them to do, then? >> i want them to do -- i want them to utilize the process that has been in place for decades. that is, if you have a problem, go to the school. have a conversation with your ch child's teacher. every teacher that i know, there is an open-door policy. you know, we have not had this issue of -- of confronting educators for everything. parents have -- have trusted educators to provide the best-quality education possible. and that's what we do and if parents want to send a note to -- to their teacher to ask a question, do that. but i am going to encourage people to -- to flood this -- this nonsense with the great and amazing things that are happening. how about that teacher who is able to increase that child's reading level? what about that teacher who understands that that child is coming to school hungry?

>> you want them to call and talk about those things. i have got to go. >> absolutely. >> but thank you, president. i really appreciate you joining us this evening. thanks. >> thank you. >> best of luck. >> thank you. thank you. >> okay. so, how dare he? do you know what president biden did? he got ice cream. the fox propaganda net work melted down. but i'm not chasing my dream anymore. i made a financial plan to live it every day. ♪ at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com my mental health was much better. my mind was in a good place. but my body was telling a different story.
