in our is, i believe, still ongoing it be over, our judge asked the department of justice, who represents the department of educationhe said, sometimes we differ to agencies on the basis of their expertise and that leads me to wonder, what is it department of education's expertise on human biology aality that allows them to make determinations about the harm or lack of harm resulting from sharing intimate spacesit and he went on, and the response heuess i'm not sure [laughter] that is just an excerpt. i was not there. i'm here with everyone in d.c. so i'm taking that out ofhe entire transcript to see how it went, but it givesflavor to see why department of education are deciding and changing the meaning of title ix when congress has tried to do this. they were unable to do this so now we have had to had an agency come in, hopefully that answers what you were looking for. ms. perry: it definitely does. let me ask as we are sort of approaching the summer, educators and school admstate administrators all scrambling at this point. how have you advised stakeholders with the superintendent, how have you advised them on ho

let's department of education, we have our own department of education. ducation has always been an inherently local thing so it should stay that way curriculum and everything else, so i think the federal government has gone way too involved and in this way, it really is trying to change society. there is nmple of the major question doctrine and area, so we said do not comply and we now have an injunction, and states are not protected. i believe another one will issue soon and based on that quote you would have thought it would just be game over. ion. if your answer to that question is, i'm not sure, this is over. so, you know, i think it will end up in the u.s. supreme court, unless there is a change administration, unless we see a rollback of the rule. i do think that the push that this requires this is entirely wrong. ms. perry: perfect segue, thank you for that. kristen, let's talk about our favorite case -- christian let's talk about our favorite case, where there has been every expansion of sex to include gender identity in federal law and as a leade

i mentioned the department of education's office of civil rights.t is the office that is charged with conducting these investigations of anti-semitism, but as i said also charged with the obligation to conduct investigations of racism on a campus or other forms of discrimination. i have a separate bill that would add substantial funding, absolutely essential funding, to the offings of civil rights -- to the office of civil rights in the department of education. that offices has to hire more people to conduct these investigations, to initiate an investigation, to expeditiously gather evidence, complete the very, and make that fundamental determination whether there is a hostile environment on a college campus for jewish students, just like it would make a determination with regard to a hostile environment for black students in the case of allegations of racial animus on a campus. make that determination of hostile environment or not, making that decision. once that make that decision, of course, the college or university would be subjected to penalti

department of education. for saying he wants to end the department of education. that means employees in that agency, even if they have been serving a mission with great competence will have to look for another job. what is more important than that, michael, we actually have a delivery mechanism for education in this country that reflects a 21st century. at heritage, we see this in a different way. you look at it in the lens of unmanned elected bureaucrats and want to say they are more important than the everyday american. we want to look at it from the standpoint of the everyday american and they should be put in the driver seat instead of unelected bureaucrats. >> they will never be in the driver seat because they are not doing the job. you are identifying who are trump aligned and letting them work. >> you are positive those people are incompetent. >> as much as you are thinking i think these people are incompetent, you are positing they are somehow executing a nefarious agenda. >> some of them are. >> who

of education. the civil rights division of the department of education number of complaints for the department. if you go back to 2009ipled in terms of the number of complaints and a lot of them involve anti-semitism. at the department of education in 2009 is larger than it is today. as mr. scott pointed out the budget that the majority reported out last year for the mmittee for the civil rights division would cut it by 25%, which i would characterize the equivalent of defunding. some point to focus on the fact that we need to beef up the ranks of that department whose mission it is to investigate and to curtail this type of activity. i would now like to yield >> ank you. since october 7 there is no question the anti-somatic has d we have talked about this. the fact i called you at 6:30 in the morning when i first heard about rutgers. negotiating to end the encampment. we have had the continuing conversation. i spent my life retii know it quite well. i am a firm believer in the first amendment. there are [3rules in all types of protest is. no matter what the reas when i participated over my life

of a dystopian novel. a group wants to dismantle our government. ban abortions and restructure the justice department and eliminate the department of education.il servants with loyalists. this is not fiction. the villains are the right wing think tank. what i have outlined for you, what i've been sounding the alarm for the past few months about is project 2025. for the first 180 days for a second trump administration. the threat is very real. earlier this morning i spoke with ayanna pressley about this latest danger to democracy. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. my show we spent a lot of time talking about project 2025. i was thrilled to see that you are a founding member of the recently created stop project 2025 congressional task force. i do have to ask you, what are the realistic actions that this task force can take in order to keep the most radical agenda in the history of the united states from becoming a reality? >> yes, i am pleased to be a founder of the stop project 2025 task force. we make sure that donald trump is not re-elected president of the united states of america. it has been my experience with extreme repu

now as you remember these are the first two completed investigations by the department of education intoosion of anti-israel and jewish hate on campuses nationwide that rocked us and continues to. school is out but we're still seeing the jewish hate on streets. the department launched investigations into dozens of other schools which saw encampments and arrests and violence. more investigations are expected to be resolved in the coming weeks. we wanted to let you know about these two schools. >> we are sitting in resistance as a community. >> president biden you are weak. [chanting] >> harris: speaking of protests this was outside the fundraiser in los angeles over the weekend. anti-israel protestors lining up by the hundreds demanding biden stop, quote, funding genocide. of course, they are talking about the israel/hamas war. they call him genocide joe. you know that. you've seen the signs. meanwhile, israel could be facing a second war with a different iran-backed terror organization. this one is hezbollah in lebanon to the north. the group has been ramping up missile and drone attacks

should the department of education be abolished? should the affordable care act be repealed? should we raise the retirement age is social security that that of project 2025 recently went on camera said we should. one of the challenges here is keeping the terrain on these concrete tangible questions of governing, whichever side you are on, because trump doesn't really engage at that level. how do you think about that? how do you think what role the president biden has and how he maintains a kind of substantive debate in the atmosphere of a man who will not be that different than what we saw on the clips we just played? >> you know, thing president biden in this debate has to cut through the trump bluster and really speak directly to the american people. the person that you choose for president, how will they impact your life for the next four years? how will they impact the lives of the people you care about? your children, your parents, your grandparents and those in your community. that has to be the focus. we have to make it personal and speak to the hearts and not just the

trying to bring a federal -- the department of education has not beent of the solution.rt of the problem. the doe has solved that problem. it is about instead pouring money into a federal bureaucracy, we bring it back to the local communities where they can have a big impact on>> we no what is going on in the state of montana when it comes to education. it is one of the things that could change the state for the worst. the federal government should not be dealing with this. the legislature has tools. quite frankly they need to empower the local government, particularly those localchool boards, city council's and county commissioners to do the right thing. >> we have come to the final minutes of the debate. any closing statements. we have statements to one minute if both candidates are ok with that. one minute. senator tester. >> i want to thank everyone was watching this debate at home and listening to it on the radio. debates are really important. they are an opportunity to hear unscripted how candidates feel about issues that impact our great state of montana. this ele

. >> and joe biden's department of education shall get a promotion, she says out loud the logical in-state belief system that we have a new flag and we change it every year end we fly it is the trans-flag of whatever flag you want to call in its diverse and inclusive and inequitable and that's what we should teach our kids the american flag is right with problems in colonialism of the patriarchy and stolen land and all the things that's what they teach in history about her own country we are in uncharted water were trying to keep a country while simultaneously teaching the young people of the country to dislike the country, this person felt comfortable to state these things out loud because they are surrounded in an environment with the status quo we have to fight this stuff afire people like this, this is why donald trump said he wants to end the departed of education, he is right it does not add utility these kids cannot read but they think are being taught at the beginning america is about place. stuart: i got a tweet from the fbi he says we know diversity makes us stronger, does it? >>

will be from a database maintained by the heritage foundation or talk about limiting in the department of education the military into blue cities and so many aspects of this are extreme and dystopic, but is the explicitness of the extremism and the fact it comes from the highest echelons of donald trump's inner circle that troubles me the most. >> i feel like democrats have a bit of an advantage because as you point out, this isn't a secret and you do know it is coming and you know this is what the plan from the right is. so instead of being reactive, my question is what proactive steps -- you have this task force but can we see any legislation introduced or being designed to stave off some of the things that we already know are coming out of project 2025 so we are not reactionary? >> good question. we are going on offense. we do have legislation and in the previous congress we passed hr one which would have, to some extent mitigated against this to -- type of agenda and we are shorthanded in the house because we don't have the majority and we have a senate still subject to the filibuster so our ab

read all of it bui pi apart the ones that were most interesting to me the dismantling of the department of educationing is what you're trying to do to civil service. job youy for whether it be government or the private sector should ask you if you are a democrat or a republican. they should base your employment on whethe's merited. i know there is a lot in the viwill have to get around it but you had the supreme work so maybe that will far as civil service employees are considered. on top ofalk to the other caller about the constitution. i don't want he said i will suspend thev' constitution to kp myself in power and told his vice president to reject biden electors and keep■ç his own electors like he told mike pence. heone like that to appoint a loyalist. theconstitution and by the way, before you wor for trump, what was your education and where did you work? that's all i wanted to say, thank you. guest: there is a lot there. have undergraduate and graduate degrees from m.i.t., a law degree from the university ofaw in new york city for 20 years. i work behind cases and on rebel $27 billion of fraud.

but there should not be freemen in violation of the laws, therefore look who you will work with from all your departments, culture, department of public education, economics, industry, agriculture, management and so on, some of you worked in these positions, from these to your deputies, but i am as always i say, everyone should be given a chance, well, we have clearly already entered the electoral period, there is no need to wait for something new, you were all participants in these choices , without allowing a qualitative decline in their standard of living, this only strengthens our confidence that those elected by belarus the model and development path are correct. calls for an immediate abandonment of waging sanctions wars, because their main victims are ordinary people who are completely uninvolved in interstate squabbles. the largest infrastructure project in the baltics appears to be close to failure. we are talking about a railway that will connect estonia, latvia and lithuania with poland, and through it with western europe. as part of the project , it was planned to lay a european track, as well as build new bridges, everything necess

we could talk about eliminating the department of education, rolling the military into blue cities, soaspects of this are just extreme and dystopic, but it is the explicitness of the extremism and the fact that it is coming from the highest echelons of donald trump's inner circle that troubles me the most. >> in some ways, i feel like democrats have a bit of an advantage here because, as you have pointed out, this is not a secret. you know it is coming. you know this is what the plan from the right is, so instead of being reactive, my question is, what proactive steps -- you have this task force. can we expect to see any actual legislation introduced or being designed to stave off some of the things that we already know are coming out of project 2025 so that we are not reactionary? >> good question, charles. we are going on offense here. we have legislation. in the previous congress, we passed hr1, which would have at least to some extent mitigated against this type of agenda. we are a little bit shorthanded in the house right now because we don't have the majority and we have a senate
