it's not that creative. valerie, hang on, why is justin trudeau still importing that racist aunt jemima syrup? i have to say canadian maple syrup is much better. claudia from montreal, i agree with the tariff sheriff. please make us your 51st state. if you are canadian and you want to become a u.s. citizen and you want to become... text us. eric from sparks, nevada, innmak tariffs will be imposed on jesse watters budget unless he finally reads my text message. trade war avoided. chris from idaho, i want to see hulk hogan do a cannonball into the gulf of america. that would be icing on the cake. he's watching, be careful of that splash.

>> sean: welcome to hannity. tonight we are kicking off the week with a jam-packed show. the border czar tom home end, senator john kennedy, senator ted cruz. levesque ramaswamy and white house press secretary karoline leavitt will join a straight ahead. it was a big day at the white house. every day is a big day at the trump white house. a flurry of activity from the trump administration is unlike anything we've ever seen. nothing but shock and all in the media melting down. democrats melting down which makes it fun. we were witnessing what is a transformational presidency in the making according to donald trump. border crossings now down 93% and he's only getting started. in just the past 24 hours, mexico caved in the face-off of trump's tariff threats. agreeing to send it 10,000 members of mexico's national guard to secure their side of the border. crackdown on fentanyl and

smuggling. canada also caving, little justin agreeing to list mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, appointing a fentanyl czar and participating in a joint strike force to combat crime at our northern border to becoming bigger and bigger every day. keep in mind along the border in our north, vermont, new hampshire, new york, border patrol agents apprehended nearly 20,000 illegal immigrants from over 97 different countries last year. that number is higher than the past 17 years combined. but now that canada and mexico have agreed to start being good neighbours the tariffs have been paused for 30 days while more permanent security, economic deals will be negotiated. for the record we give canada -- why did we give them millions of tax dollars every year? why don't they pay their fair share with nato and they already charge tariffs on our dairy, our poultry products.

they won't allow u.s. seeds to be imported into their country. sounds like they already started a tariff war. for many years, free-trade to seemingly operated one way. so why should the u.s. give canada tens of millions of dollars in foreign aid, protect them with our military while they contribute a tiny amount to nato? sorry little justin but this unfairness on your part is coming to an end. the days of taking advantage of the american people and the generosity is now over and it's not only mexico or canada. left-wing governments in colombia and venezuela even caving to trump's demands. both countries agreeing to repatriate their own citizens including violent gang members like the gang and criminals across our southern border. venezuela also freeing six american hostages. did we even know they were there? returning them back to the u.s.

great job president trump. i know this state run legacy media mob has all but ignored the success. ask yourself do you think venezuela would've freed these people if joe was still in office or kamala one? never happened. panama are caving to donald trump's pressure. offering to end their so-called memorandum of understanding with china and work more closely with the united states. panama canal wouldn't exist without us. another massive victory for donald trump. denmark is still insisting that greenland is not for sale but the country is now suddenly open to the u.s. expanding our military presence on the island. by the way, they might be having a referendum soon and maybe the people get to vote themselves and i'm pretty sure that the u.s. would win that battle. and the media also ignoring the fact that president trump killed many isis terrorists in somalia this weekend.

kamala never wanted you to... donald trump killed a whole bunch of them without killing a single civilian. america has a huge amount of leverage. president trump is not afraid to use it. take a look. >> had a great talk with mexico. we had the president, i like her very much. we've had good relationships but we have to stop fentanyl from coming in, whether i like somebody or not we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in. they are very tough to do business with and we can't let them take advantage of the u.s. tariffs are very powerful, both economically and in getting everything else. nobody can compete with us because we are the pot of gold but if we don't keep winning and keep doing well we won't be the pot of gold and then tariffs won't be so good for us.

but when you are the pot of gold the tariffs are very good. they are very powerful. >> sean: while president trump is reasserting america's dominance, he is harnessing doge right here at home to train the swamp, firing politicized bureaucrats of both the doj, fbi, those that weapon iced and politicized their institutions. they are being escorted out of the building as they should be. he's also in the process of shutting down u.s. aid. this is freaked out every democrat. funneling billions of tax dollars to left-wing causes all around the globe. wait until you see the list we have coming up. a complete waste of your hard-earned tax. the president also cutting funding from the dishonest and compromised w.h.o. the world health organization or better known as the covid propaganda wing for china during covid-19. he pulled the u.s. out of the insane globalist paris climate

accords. the ones that designated china and india as developing nations. he dismantled di programs across the entire federal government and at the same time president trump used his powers to divert more water to southern california. he's done all of this now in just two weeks. as he begins his third week in office, the state run legacy media mob and the democrats ever opt into the predictable and entertaining fit of hysteria. they have learned nothing. they just double down on dumb and dumber. take a look. >> you are getting the fbi, you are firing all these people across -- possibly one-third or one fourth of the workforce. and your most experienced people for political reasons, you are doing that, the winner are our enemies. those people who seek to do harm to america and to kill american citizens.

>> this is really, it is self-mutilation. america is hurting itself. we think that it is utterly crazy and we are also really angry at you. >> trump has done some fairly popular things in his first few weeks. this is not one of them. horrible horrible horrible. >> a lot of people at the super bowl have beer and walk. all of it comes from mexico -- much of it comes from mexico and the prices are likely to go up. >> we have a thug in charge of the united states. and if we don't wake up we may not have a united states because right now he has only been successful in being a divider in chief. >> sean: there is plenty of beer made right here in america and lots of glock and avocados from california. have they learned nothing in the past ten years?

do they not understand economic and political leverage? they watch donald trump since 2015. they have learned nothing. they double down on the same hate her, hysteria, doomsday predictions. about dictatorship and fascism when donald trump says we are slapping a tariff on you, that is the beginning of a negotiation. let me educate you to what the president is thinking and how he thinks. it's called the art of the deal. democratic party is turning into an absolute joke. don't take my word for it. if you are a conservative you are going to love this because the democratic party has now elected people to the left of joe and kamala. here are the highlights from this weekends forum. >> how many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in vice president harris' defeat? [singing]

>> we pledge to appoint more than one transgender person to an at-large seat and will you commit to making sure those appointments reflect the gender and ethnic diversity of the transgender community? >> in order to be gender balanced we must elect one male, one female and one person of any gender. >> sean: so she lost because of racism and misogyny and are they accusing the american people of that? democratic party is in desperate need of soul-searching. donald trump will continue to drain the swamp, rack up achievement after achievement and the american people to make america great.

hours ago, senator susan collins announced that she will vote to confirm toasty gabbard as the director of national intelligence. a big win for her. here is white house press secretary karoline leavitt. great to have you. great job on your first day. you brought a little shock and all into that room. how did you like it? >> thank you so much for having me and i loved it. i work for a president who is getting things done, who is delivering on the promises he made to the american people and who speaks the truth. i'm so humbled by the outpouring of support and i've heard from people across the country saying we are doing such a great job at the white house. it's easy to do a good job when you are acting on common sense and you are speaking the truth and that's exactly what president trump is doing every single day. >> sean: canada, mexico, panama...

all have given into donald trump. they've all caved. also he did kill a bunch of ices terrorist and did not get a lot of media play. >> there is so much good news. so much winning out of the trump white house right now that the mainstream legacy media can't keep up with it because president trump is signing executive order after executive order, delivering on promise after promise and implementing fundamental change of our bloated bureaucracy and our corrupt government. he was given a wants in a generation mandate by the american people to govern and to fundamentally transform washington and that's exactly what he's doing. we finally after four years of chaos and mayhem, and apologizing for america, having a president in the oval office who is standing up for america and this is what it looks like when you have the leader of our great nation who uses the

leverage of the united states, who understands that since our nation's founding we have been viewed as that shining light on the hill. we have been viewed as the best, proudest country in the world and president trump is not afraid to say that or to use that for the american people's benefit. that's why you have seen so many countries around the world. they've caved to president trump's demand's. in the past 24 hours you have canada and mexico agreeing to help secure our southern and northern borders and these tariffs that president trump threatened to impose on both canada and mexico, they were signed, sealed, delivered. those were tapped -- retaliatory tariffs for the last four years of treatment by canada and mexico of our nation. they have allowed an unprecedented wave of illegal deadly drugs and illegal criminals on our territorial borders and president trump said enough is enough.

he is standing up for the american people. too many lives have been lost at the hands of illegal migrants and chinese fennel flowing through our borders and he got canada and mexico to step up to the plate to... and america and the american people will be safer because of it. >> sean: victims that i'm shocked democrats don't seem to care a lot about. i did fail to mention the hostages released out of venezuela. i don't think most americans even know about that. >> they didn't. it happen on friday afternoon. legacy media went home or they didn't want to report on more good news coming from the trump administration. they went to venezuela with two very clear directives from the president of the united states. land repatriation flights of illegal gang members who have

infiltrated our country under the biden administration. get them back to venezuela. and number 2, return the six u.s. hostages who have been held captive in venezuela in the previous administration never even talked about. he is using president trump's negotiating leverage was able to get that done. in that same day we took out ices fighters and some aliyah. a story that the mainstream media doesn't want to cover. to secretary of state rubio who is doing a phenomenal job on behalf of president trump,... they are no longer going to charge u.s. naval ships to go through the canal and they also have said they are no longer going to be part of the... these small winds are racking up for the united states and the entire world knows that america is back and remember, five years ago when joe biden took office, that was his slogan.

we saw the deterioration of america over the past four years. now america is truly back in the world knows it. just look at their actions. >> sean: great job welcoming and new media to the white house briefing room. i thought that was warranted. i believe legacy media has died. the biggest freak out on the left now seems to be about usa, the democrats, i will go through examples. $56 million to boost egyptian, tunisian tourism. 40 million to build schools in jordan. why would we be spending hard-earned american taxpayer dollars on items like that and more? >> because washington, d.c., for far too long has been run by corrupt government bureaucrats who do not care about hard-earned tax dollars that the american people are working for every single day.

and finally it took president trump and elon musk who is serving as a great friend and ally to the president to start digging through the books of this bloated bureaucracy here in washington. the waste, the fraud, the abuse is alarming. that's why president trump is making monumental transformative changes. he was elected to do that and the democrats are in complete disarray because they have become a globalist party who like to spend taxpayer dollars on useless priorities just to cater to the left's demand here at home where the vast majority of americans want people in washington to be good stewards of their tax dollars. don't agree with these radical priorities of the left. that's why the president is going to continue to do this. the democrats can either get on board or they can prepare to lose another election just like fitted on november fifth. >> i think we will call when you

are on the show the washington briefing with caroline levitt. we get an update on everything that's happening and a lot of good news. we appreciate your time, great job and we thank you for being with us. here now with more reaction, texas senator ted cruz. i don't think i've ever in all my years doing this, which is 35 in radio, 29 here at the fox news channel, i don't think i've ever seen a force of nature like this or as much dramatic, impactful, transformational change as we're seeing on full before our eyes. >> nobody has. in the first two weeks of the trump presidency more has been accomplished then any time in our lifetimes. maybe you can go back to fdr but you and i want to live when fdr was president so i haven't lived through that. i've lived through these last two weeks and if not to say this is what winning looks like. this is what delivering on our promises looks like. president trump is showing strong and powerful leadership.

last week, seeing columbia just cave immediately, they said no. we will not allow illegal immigrants from the united states come back from columbia. they are an anti-american president. the president immediately responded by threatening tariffs and within eight hours they caved. you looked at mexico and canada right now, this weekend when the president announced those tariffs. 25% on mexico, 25% on canada, 10% on canadian energy and 10% on china. i do a podcast. today's podcast does a deep dive on those tariffs. here's what i predicted. i said the tariffs with mexico and canada they are both designed to be leveraged to change their behaviour. those will be lifted and they will be lifted very quickly, why , and here's what i predicted. mexico and canada will both cave

and i said mexico will commit thousands of troops to help secure our border. canada will lead in to secure our border. that is exactly what happened today. that is leverage protecting the national security and the public safety of every american. >> sean: when you think back only a couple of weeks ago we were being lied to to the end. the border was secure and the border was closed. you in many ways took on a dual role as... you'd be down there and share videos with us. we see what -- that they are lying. to think they could have easily done this themselves. why didn't they do it? >> because they didn't want to because they didn't care. why would joe biden or every democrat in the senate or in the house support open borders, support 12 million illegal

immigrants coming into this country, support and murderers and child molesters and violent gang members and the only explanation that makes sense is it was all politics. they view every one of those illegal immigrants as a future democrat voter. and this is really sad and cynical. they were willing to look the other way at the children being murdered, at the women being at the tragedies of more than 100,000 fentanyl debts. we are right now securing our border. exactly as i predicted. i came on the show repeatedly and said securing this border is not going to take a year or six months, it's going to happen on january 20th with president trump being willie to enforce the law. we are seeing that right now and your kids, my kids, every american family is safer and if you are an illegal immigrant, if you are a murderer or or gang member, you might as well get the out of the country now

because ice is going to apprehend you and deport you and we will keep americans safe. >> sean: you were in the forefront of warning the american people. a few others... senator thank you. when we come back, tom homan has the latest on the trump administration's immigration crackdown. apparently the governor of new jersey, is he hiding illegal immigrants and then giving their location? straight ahead. and for critical minerals crucial to new technologies. we're here, right by your side.

>> sean: president trump's naz -- mass deportations are underway and the radical left is incomplete meltdown mode. demonstrators blocking streets in los angeles, waving mexican

flags but president trump is only getting started. yesterday marines arrived as the president deportations plan continues to move rapidly. secretary of defence pete hegseth visited the southern border with tom homan. it comes on the same day that both canada and mexico buckled under pressure from president trump and agreed to enhance their efforts to secure the border. they are not the only countries caving to the president's demands. venezuela is now also agreed to take back deported migrants. those illegals and they will pay for the flight. just like columbia agreed. both countries will supply the transportation. that means that saves us money. the white house has issued a powerful response to selena gomez and her sobbing uncontrollable in a powerful video shared on social media over the deportation of violent illegal immigrants. take a look. >> what about our children who

were brutally murdered and and beat to death? >> i'm so sorry. the children. >> it's hard to believe that it's actually genuine and real because she's an actress. >> you don't know who you are crying for. what about our children who were brutally murdered and and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants? i feel like it's a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness. >> sean: trump administration ... tom homan. great to see you by the way. thanks for what you are doing. that video says it all doesn't it? >> wears the tears for half a million children that were traffic in the country? they can't find over 300,000 of

them. i guarantee some of these children are in forced labor. wears her tears for the quarter million americans dead from fentanyl poisoning, wears her tears for this... wears her tears for all the young ladies who have been, murdered and burned alive. it's just pathetic. >> sean: you've got some help from president trump and for now he got canada and mexico, columbia and even venezuela to accept back these illegal immigrants and you now have... how important are those developments to you? >> president trump proves he's the greatest president of my lifetime and i mean that. he's moved at lightning speed. look what we've done. it's a game changer. seeing the department of defense

... first time in my 34 years, i game changer. president trump is making progress every single day. it wasn't too long ago we were dealing with 10,000 or 11,000 illegal entries a day. yesterday, 524. not a single one was released. they were either returned or detained. he proves it every day. we've got a lot more to do. we've got the greatest president i ever worked for. they voted been on the ground with the border patrol and with ice. she's done more enforcement actions in a week then my... pete hegseth giving us all. steve miller the architect, he amazes me every day. we have a good team, we will not fail this president . >> sean: chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their right in resisting trump's deportation policies.

the governor of new jersey basically admitted that he knew somebody that didn't have full documentation, that he was hiding over in his garage. then we have a senator saying that people should have the right to sue sanctuary cities and states that aid and abet in mom -- lawbreaking, your comment on all of that. >> i think the governor is foolish saying what he said because won't let it go, we will look into it. if he knowingly is harbouring and concealing an illegal alien that's a violation. i will seek prosecution or the secretary will seek prosecution. maybe he's bluffing, we will deal with that. as far as century city's, get in line because the trump administration is going to do that already. they are sink choice for criminals. sanctuary cities in new york city, if they were to

give us the killer of laken riley when he got arrested for endangering a child he would've been in jail. he would've never killed laken riley. they are responsible for the death of thousands of young children throughout my career and... he will end sanctuary cities. >> sean: there was a 2011 government accountability office study that found 3 million criminal offences had been committed by illegal immigrants. this is before harris biden through the floodgates wide open. do we have any estimates, we know there's about 350,000 missing children that have been used by illegal immigrants, to be have any estimates how many americans have been victims of violent crime, murdered and, to be have any idea of that number at this point?

>> there's no metric on that because of one reason. many centuries cities don't even track the nationality. they won't ask what the immigration status is because they don't want eyes to find out. even know... there are a lot we don't find out about because they simply don't have the biometrics so we know who they are. we need that information. sanctuaries are sanctuaries for criminals, bottom-line. >> sean: what will happen, what will ice do to the politicians, the adverse get -- advocacy group, the cities and states that have sanctuary status that are aiding and abetting in lawbreaking, what will you do to those people that are openly, not just opposing but helping those people that broke the law and didn't respect our borders and sovereignty?

>> if they impede us that's a violation of federal law. it's a felony. it's knowingly harbouring and concealing an alien. we will seek prosecution through the attorney's office. we've got a great u.s. attorney coming in pam bondi, so we will see prosecution, that's what we have to do. we are releasing public safety threats back into community. any city counsellor or governor who thinks it's a good idea to release public safety threats back into community to reoffend is just ridiculous. the trump administration will hold them accountable through prosecution. >> sean: great job, amazing two weeks as you begin your third week, we appreciate your time. donald trump working fast to dismantle the deep state which has been on a far left spending spree, complement a view the american taxpayer. wait until you hear some of the examples and we get reaction from one of our favourite

senators john kennedy. louisiana the state where the super bowl will be this weekend. straight ahead.

don't wait! get one for yourself or a loved one at kardia.com or amazon today. ♪ >> sean: president trump is working to save you the impact -- american taxpayer. they announced that they are moving to dismantle u.s. aid which costs tens of billions of dollars every year and has been a hotbed of corruption, fraud allegations,... so how did they spend your tax dollars, you should be interested. a look at tweet from eric schmidt. they spend whopping 20 million on a "sesame street" show in

iraq. boosting... 11 million to tell vietnam to stop burning trash. that's only the tip of the iceberg. they also spend your money to advanced dei in serbia's workplaces, produce a dei musical in ireland, a transgender opera in columbia, transgender comic book, i can't even tell you this and not laugh. the list goes on and on. luis diaz it -- john kennedy is also working to save your money. introduced a new bipartisan bill last week two and all government payments to deceased americans. that would be a good idea. congratulations, super bowl, all eyes on new orleans and your great state, congratulations. >> thank you sean. let me say first that it's kind of cool having a president again

let me try to put all this in context for you. i like omelettes. i could eat an omelette at every meal. i like them better than snacks. not really but you get the point. i like omelettes. you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. now president trump ran for office saying i'm going to review every single penny in the federal budget. now how are you going to review the spending in the federal budget without reviewing the spending? and that's what mr. musk is doing. many of my democratic colleagues and some of the tofu eating... are screaming like they are part

of a prison riot. because they don't want us reviewing the spending. but that's all mr. musk is doing and he's finding some pretty interesting stuff. to my friends who are upset i would say with respect, call somebody who cares. you better get used to this. it's going to be the department of education tomorrow. really here's what's going on. for four years under president biden, the people in charge asked one simple question. who needs to pay more in taxes, who needs to pay more in taxes? that's not the question that the republicans and president trump are going to ask. our question is what happened to the money? that's all that's going on. >> sean: 520 million for consultant driven esg investments in africa. 45,000,002 dei scholarships, why

are your democratic colleagues seemingly more freaked out about cutting u.s. aid, this is our money. i mean we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars over the years on this madness. what are they thinking? >> if you notice, my democratic colleagues in the usaid officials are not defending the spending. all they are talking about is process. it's an insurrection. and elon musk doesn't have the authority. i'm sure he has the authority, the president gave it to him. all he's doing is look at the spending. just what the president said he was going to appoint him to do. here's what i hope rubio and musk do. i would put together all this absurd spending into a booklet. i'd call a press conference and in front of god and country and the media and the usaid folks

and my democratic colleagues, i'd go over it. item by item, every bit of it. the dei comic books, the transgender operas. the funding of... i'd go over every bit of it and say do you want to defend this? and they won't. they can't. >> sean: let me shift and ask you about kash patel and robert f. kennedy jr., tulsi gabbard picked up support from susan collins today. do you believe after speaking with your colleagues that republicans will hold the line and give the president the cabinet he's requesting? >> i do. i haven't done... but we are together every day and you get a feel for things.

i think and only four or five instances have presidents of a particular party not had senators of the same party support his nominees. i don't think that's going to change this time. if there were one person i would say is on the bubble and i don't want to overstate this, it's miss gabbard. they are going to support her and that will probably be enough. that's my best guess at this point. i don't tell my colleagues how to vote. i tell them to follow their heart but take their brain with them. >> sean: you don't want to advise and extend those remarks about your omelette? >> no. they aren't better than but you get the point. >> sean: we appreciate you

being with us senator kennedy. are you going to the super bowl? do you have any predictions? >> i am. no, i don't even know who i'm going to pull for. i moped set -- upset over the trade to the l.a. lakers. >> you wanted the saints in there, straight-ahead, the the back from a swami will join us to discuss a possible run for ohio governor. that is straight ahead. (giggling)

you go to sandals to get really, really close, (giggling) to the caribbean. we should do this every morning. sandals valentine's sale is now on. save up to $1,000 and get a sandal-lit dinner for two.

>> sean: in 2023, viv eric ramaswamy took to the political scene but he took it by storm when he announced his campaign for president. now he's gearing up to get back on the campaign trail.

he's expected to run for ohio governor. some of the top political advisors have already joined the team and despite not formally announcing his campaign yet, look at this. it found the ohio native with an impressive lead over potential competitors, winning 50 of 2% of g.o.p. voters in a hypothetical primary ballot and his closest opponent at 18. here with more, vac ramaswamy. you can't look at that number, you are at 52, your closest competitor if you want to call it that is at 18, the next person is at two so i would say that your odds of being the next governor are high if you wanted. >> i think that states will have to lead the way. it reminds me of donald trump size leads in the primary which encourages me. donald trump is leading the way at the government. he's doing his job. to get them out of the way in

areas like education, but after that it's going to fall on states to have to lead the way. and one of the issues is driving the educational achievement crisis in the right direction in this country. 75% of eighth graders can't do proficient math. 70% aren't proficient in reading. it's going to have to be the states that lead the way here and one of the things i'm most interested in is driving achievements sorry kids are prepared to actually compete, not as victims but his victors in a competitive global economy. on looking forward to doing it at the state level wear president trump is leading at the federal level. >> if you look at states that have been run for decades by democrats like new york for example. deep blue state, they spend nearly 40 grand per capita per student and they come in and reading and math anywhere between 36th and 40th in terms of industrialized country.

how do you fail that that level because we are failing our children and all the talent god put in every one of them. >> it's because we've abandoned meritocracy and a culture of achievement in favour of this culture of victimhood in our country. that's the number 1 thing we're going to have to reject it to save our country is that culture of victimhood. how do we restore merit? first is universal school choice and conservatives have been pushing for this for a long time and states like texas are doing great. ohio has done well but can go further. here's a step that we haven't taken that we need to which is also proving our public schools through merit-based pay for teachers and for administrators. if students are doing a great job those teachers and administrators deserve to be paid more than they are now. those who are failing our kids shouldn't be able to just sit there and keep collecting their paychecks. we need to light a fire under the feet of that system. you've got deep-seated coming from china.

in many cases they are lapping our students right here at home and in some cases even in english proficiency. as just unacceptable to me. we won't sit around and just talk about it anymore. president trump is doing a great job, shutdown the department of education and give that that money back to the states. after that it will take creative governors who will have creative solutions, not just copying yesterday's models but implementing the merit-based pay and taking school choice to the next level including homeschooling freedom. that's how we set our kids free. >> you partnered with elon musk, what is the status of your position there, has there been any controversy, any conflict? >> we'd cohosted a space last night and it went until about 1:30 a.m. which shows what the schedule looks like. i'm trying to get that off the ground and the conclusion that we all came to that was my focus

on constitutional law and driving change for legislation, elected office was the right place from which do it. in order for the thinning out of the federal government to be successful, win in doubt my advice is cut at the federal level and if it's a doubtful area send it back to the states. thinking about work requirements that aren't being applied. that's an issue for the states. thinking about those educational failures, that's an issue for the states. much of the overburden federal regulation is duplicative of revelations at the state level as well. i think it's going to be a team effort. dome trump is doing his part at the best from the very top. it's going to be bottom-up as well. that's why i'm drawing to my next chapter and have more to say about that pretty soon. >> sean: you cut every mom and dad a check, what school will they pick? the one that actually educates their kids. we will watch this closely. thank you. only come back up review of my next podcast straight ahead.
