that veritas thebeen involved in michigan.ederation in there was an obvious connection herebetween betsy devos antagonism and antipathy toward the teachers federation and in michigan whereerik and betsy grew up. amy: and where there is a primary tomorrow. >> what veritas did was they used the british spy to help run the operation. undercoverwho were were not former spies. there were not for intelligence officers. there were not for intelligence officers. what they had were the professionals running the operation from the outside, directing them, giving them training and now they're going to direct them. that is what "the times" was able to find was how prince had help run andies to help run and sort of elevate and improve veritas' ability to get inside organizations and pull documents out. amy: how did it affect the michigan federation of teachers and abigail spanberger, interestingly, she is a former cia official. she has worked for the cia. she was able to find the spy within her organization and fire them. >> congress -- the democrats in congress have a list they share because they all know

it's pretty clear with whom president trump and betsy devos are standing. over and over and over, president trump's administration betrayed the people he promised to fight for. i'm glad my colleagues stood up today. it was a bipartisan victory. it said to president trump and betsy devos and majority leader mcconnell that that kind of fraud, that kind of exploitation is something that we will no longer accept. to our veterans, to other students who were defrauded by these for-profit colleges. madam president, i ask that the following remarks be at a different point in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: thank you, madam president. i rise to honor a leader in the fight for justice, a great ohioan who we lost last month, judge nathaniel jones. at a ceremony dedicating the federal courthouse in honor of judge jones in 2003, former congressman louis stokes said that the courthouse served as a testament to the outstanding public service by a local who made good. judge jones certainly was that. born in youngstown in 1926, he served a c

betsy devos, over the last couple of years has given them over $200 million. they run a very successful operation because they make a promise, if you put your tried and i will schools they will be admitted to a four-year college. what they don't tell people is you can't graduate until you've been admitted to a four-year college. so yes, everybody gets admitted to four-year college. it happens there are colleges that accept everyone. and so they find podunk university that takes everyone and they say see, all of our students were admitted to four-year colleges. they just got into a little bit of trouble because they decided to lease a private jet for $2 million a year. and that did not seem -- it was not seemingly first school organization have a private jet. the amount of money being paid out to their executives was a little bit embarrassing. but this kind of thing is going on all over the country. florida is rife with charter scandals and voucher scandals. florida pays out a billion dollars a year to religious schools that get vouchers. it is totally unregula

betsy devos has done absolutely nothing. this show is giving more information in terms of steps forward than her administration has initiated throughout her tenure. so i applaud your guest speaker for being detailed and providing a pathway forward and applaud you for taking on this. i am a father, and it has been appalling that her office has not had a sense of urgency, to have this type of show, ongoing, these conversations. what we are doing is important. in portland, for those families within the digital divide, we have advised those families with kids, whether it is early learning or 12 grade, read a minimum of three books to five books and to write. for those folks who have the digital capability, we have asked teachers have the opportunity to do skype and do lesson plans via internet. i would like to echo your guest speaker's statement. there is a 20,000 feet policy solution and then there is boots on the ground. when those dollars hit the states, there is inconsistency in terms of how those dollars will get to teacher

i understand that betsy devos has refused to allow federal student loan services to provide the beer with access to bart over information is that correct? >> i send letters back to congress on this, that is correct but i did tell senator menendez earlier that we had an agreement and we are going to move forward with respect to a federal portfolio servicer. thank you for being here. i want to associate myself i remember telling the then director his heart rate was about four or five many people come over th for the committeesm sure they are more concerned with the fact of the matter is to do what you want to do. i for one think you're doing a good job that i think that there are fundamental problems within entity that iwith anentity thate congressional oversight actions are thank you for your patience. i'm not sure i would have been quite as patient. i have a question you sent us a letter back in january and one of the passages you were talking about moving away from the pricing approach as well as the mechanism. can you expand a little bit more on what that means? >> we will issue a

the house has already passed this measure saying that we reject this new secretary betsy devos rule when it comes to this mistreatment of students who are defrauded and have a debt as a result of it. now one of my senate colleagues whom i respect very much yesterday used a carnal ji to defend secretary devos. he said if your car is a lemon, you don't sue the bank. you sue the dealer. a college can be a lemon just like a car can be. that's what the senator said. his point is students sold a lemon of a education should go after the school and not the department of education except the secretary devos rule allows the schools to prevent students from suing them. it eliminates a prohibition in current rules on the use of mandatory arbitration clauses and class actions. under the existing law, students of corinthian can come together in a class action and ask for relief from the department of education. secretary devos eliminates that. go on your own. each one of you students stand up for yourself. is that fair? i don't think it is. it certainly isn't the kind of things we want to see in terms

defrauded and relieved of some of all of our student debt. 220,000 student borrowers are waiting for betsy devos to do something but they haven't done anything except for them having to be harder to prove it. each of these students are supposed to get their own lawyer, their own investigator and prove the fraud. is that reasonable for a young student carrying a student debt who's been defrauded to have that responsibility? secretary devos thinks yes. i think no. and that's what this vote is all about. who agrees about my -- with my position on this issue? most of the advocates for students, but also the veterans organization across america led by the american legion. they are supporting our effort now, under this congressional review act, to do away with the new education secretary rule. they say it is unfair to veterans and it is it and unfair to student borrowers. bill oxford called the rule that we're going to get a chance to rule on after the debate

do you think betsy devos was called? [laughter] you think betsy devos. chicago, forget all the mayors and their seven governors doing it. come out to washington on here about it. now i think that's horrible. i am not saying that free community college is the most important education policy, but my mother think it's in the top three done in the united states of america. if you do think three quarters post- high school. and seven cities in the united states has started something that is equivalent to this era, with a high school education was for the 20th century, either congress hasn't had a hearing, or the secretary of education is asked for the data. and you have not one city, but multiple cities. now i did the research for this book, and i was really shocked at this fact. and i think it does tell you everything for this which is one, going into world war ii, which country had the highest education armed forces? the united states of america. 90% of the men and women, mainly men in the armed forces had a high school education in the united states, higher

his proposal contradicts the position of education secretary betsy devos, who has called student loanss proposals "crazy." some states have tried to nip the problem in the bud by offering to send some students to school tuition-free. but an analysis by the hechinger report, which investigates education inequality, found in many states, poor students who are eligible for financial aid never get it.

education secretary betsy devos testified on the president's 2021 budget request for her department. she appeared before a house appropriations subcommittee where members asked about public chartern resources, schools, nondiscrimination policies, and support for minority students.

do you think betsy devos has called? there are seven governors doing.'m not saying that it's the most important education policy but it's in the top three if you think three quarters of all the jobs require somethingng post-hh school and seven cities in the united states have started something that's the c equivalet neither congress has had a hearing or the secretary of education and you have not one city but multiple cities e and states which country has the highest education? the united states of america. 90% of the men and women, mainly men got a high school education in the united states, more than any other army. before the war is over, roosevelt announces the g.i. bill and i know of what happened, but the high school education in the beginning of the century the g.i. bill was in the middle of the century and the rest is the american century. and we haven't done anything now. i am proud in mississippi we got the chicago star scholarship. if you keep the average while you are in community college, every college and university in chicago to 20 to 50%

but weeks -- when this started, we wrote to betsy devos and said what are we going to do about the followingons. never got an answer. i'm glad that the president said yesterday what was inevitable, that if schools are closing for the year, we need to actually waive the tests. but superintendents and our unions locally, all throughout the country, governors, chief school officers, administers and teachers are trying to figure this out as we speak. they are building the plane and flying it at the same time. i trust them. i want us to trust them to figure out what is meaningful for what we can do to help kids instructionally and what we can do to help kids with all the things schools normally do which is feeding kids, which is the resilience and the relationships. this is a very tough time for everyone. every parent who is homeschooling now understands how tough it is to teach. but we have to even with the social distance, we have to try to figure out how we hold kids virtually and how we help them. >> all right. so many are discovering and appreciating in a bigger way. this is the hardest job,

you have elaine chow and betsy devos, who can business leaders trust?this is definitely an issue for corporate leaders. that's why you see them start to pull employees out of events, start to come up with their own plans to end any kind of international travel in some cases or all travel period. seeing google and amazon make the determination it is not worth it. i am not saying cancellations wouldn't happen if people had more faith and confidence in what they're hearing from the federal government, but it is not making things better. this is the problem with having lack of gravitas around financial decisions, market conversations, economic conversations. larry kudlow's first statement on coronavirus was a couple weeks ago. >> air tight. >> he said air tight, contained. now of course they're softening that language. but even the president's body language when there's any briefing, his arms are folded across his chest. it is almost as if community spread news is a personal affront to him and to his re-election campaign rather than what's becoming a public

erik prince is betsy devos's brother, trump's education secretary. ask yourself this question.ho in the administration knew when and when did they know it? joining me now, clint watts, a former fbi, national security analyst, and the author of this book, anna mari cox joins me as well. joshua johnson is with me as well. clint, this isn't even the whole story. there was a o negotiation going on for erik prince basically to take over the afghan war. this whole drawdown that we've just heard about, the deal with the taliban, there was actually some discussion about him taking over the war, a private contractor, i don't know what that's worth, but it's billions of dollars of work. this guy has something to gain from donald trump being president. it's hard to make sense of what's going on. this is a guy that could kill you with his little finger like you can. he is out there looking up spies, trying to find spies, to break into organizations including the american federation of teachers? >> that's right. american security -- and then going after teachers union. >> randi winegarten,

you have betsy devos, education secretary, not a member of the task force, the coronavirus task forcehere are a lot of schools trying to figure out what they should do. so i think you've seen the president has wanted to go with his own gut and it's just not going to work here. >> can i add to that, maggie obviously is talking from experience of covering donald trump for a long time about everything being sunny in trump world. it's also about keeping things sunny for an election year on the economy. it was a one-man effort to steer the economy into normalcy, and it seems as though he's realized that that is not possible in a situation like that. and the more you say everything's fine here, and the economy and everything that drives the economy sees that everything is not fine here, they hear from the president something that doesn't reflect reality, it makes people who affect the economy, particularly the markets, even more anxiety, it makes it even worse. that is something that is being impressed upon them. >> it's interesting because the sanders campaign, the biden campaign are cance

today betsy devos is directing federal lenders to allow borrowers to suspend their student loan paymentsenalty for at least the next 60 days, and if we need more we will extend that time. borrowers should contact their lenders. we have given them strong instructions. we have temporarily waived all interest on federally held student loans. that is a big thing. that will make a lot of students very happy. loans. come on student we will do that at a different time. this morning, the treasury department also announced we are moving tax day from april 15 to july 15. we are moving it out to july 15 so that people will have time and people will be able to hopefully we will have people getting back to their lives. families and businesses will have extra time to file with no interest or penalties. we are getting rid of interest and penalties. if you have refunds or credits you would like to claim, you may still file. in other words you can file early if you are owed money by the irs. other than that, we are moving all the way out to july 15. no interest, no penalties. your new date will be july 1

i don't know what the hell betsy devos is doing. i suspect this is some proposal from the bureaucrats but she better put a stop to it or there will be trouble and we will be watching. all right. coming up, my exclusive conversation with trump 2020 campaign advisor. don't go away. surance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace. hey there! i'm lonnie from lonnie's lumber. if you need lumber wood, lonnie's is better than good. we got oak, cherry, walnut, and more. and we also have the best selection of plywood (clattering) in the state... hey!

(wood clattering) stop chuckin' that wood! with geico, the savings keep on going. just like this sequel. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis... or psoriatic arthritis, little things, can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream... ...it's a pill that treats differently. for psori

but that said, have you heard enough from education secretary betsy devos about what the plan and visions? >> well, i can't even answer that, we haven't heard anything, and, you know, where you have a lack of credibility, you know, a lack of honesty, it is not real helpful. what we're seeing is great, great leadership, not at the federal level, but at the local and state level and we're in constant contact with state superintendents and superintendents of big districts. we're doing a conference call with a number of them tomorrow afternoon, just to check in, so people can learn from each other, replicate successes, shut down things that aren't working. so the real leadership now is coming at the state and local level and i'm so proud of that. larger point is a good one. this is a time where we need tremendous compassion, this say time for students learn to take care of each other and be part of a team. i'm truly inspired, this say really hard time, i hate we're here as a nation, i hate that we're here as a planet, but what we're seeing from adult leaders, from students really gives me gr

you held a hearing today with the education security, betsy devos. you brought up this issue. what do you think needs to happen? obviously you want to be on the side of the safety, but when you're keeping millions of children out of school who are not sick, is that the right thing odo? what's the right thing to do here? >> these are the decisions every school district is struggling to make the correct decision. one school district that i know of in the seattle area, 30,000 plus kids is now telling them to stay home for several weeks. their absentee rate was at 20%. they have a high number of employees who are over 60. public health is telling you if you're over 60 that this virus can have a serious impact. so, stay home. so, they have school employees not coming home. they're working really hard to try and make sure the kids are getting an education. but i will tell you parent who is don't have paid sick leave are now having to stay home with their kids or kids are staying home alone or staying with grandparents who are at that age of the highest impact or hang out in the mall

i did a recent interview with betsy devos. she is trying to cut and cut and cut the federal presence in public education. her predecessor in the regular administration tried to get rid of the department of education. could not do it. congress would not let him do it i think we need a top to bottom look at our government, its purpose and the increasing loss of individual freedom, as government grows. >> on the topic of christians in government and the media, you wrote a recent column that evangelicals are perceived by many as one more interest group that attacked the republican party and especially president trump. its members need to make a choice out which one is there true master. they can't serve both. what made you want to write that >> a lot of my evangelical brother and, i love president trump's policies. i think they are working better than any president, republican or democrat we have had in recent years. whether it's unemployment or employment across all demographics. whether it is the stock market which continues to
