secretary devos, thank you for joining us, delighted to have you here. >> secretary devos: thanks souch. >> governor huckabee: it's not just k-12 education that demands the trump administration's attention, higher education has become a bastion of speech codes, conservative intimidation, and much worse. take the university of so main, please, take them. they are now asking community members to sign a black lives matter statement and antiracism pledge. what's worse, the school also published the names of people who signed it, which in this political climate means that those who don't sign it will almost certainly face retaliation and maybe even have moms showing up at their home. joining me now, john eastman, claremont institute senior fellow and constitutional scholar. this is a public university. people pay taxes and that is what funds this place, and they are basically threatening the staff into signing a political document. is that even legal? >> it's not legal, it's not constitutional, and it's been that way for decades and decades. the supreme court a long time ago in a case dea

vice president, secretary devos. we're here mainly to hear from each of you today. before i do that, i just wanted to point out that there is a fairly recent kaiser family foundation health tracker poll that shows over 65% of america's parents are very concerned that their children will fall behind academically and socially if they don't get back to school. having said that, we recognize that many school districts have already made a decision to either go hybrid or full-time virtual learning for the first month or two or maybe longer. so our goal today, the president's goal's always been how do we reopen safely? how do we reopen soon, but how do we reopen safely? we also recognize a number of teachers, particularly the 10% or so over the age of 60 are concerned. so we have given resources and guidance that allows each of those districts to make those decisions, to maybe modify the work schedules of the teachers and other administrative staff that may be affected. overall, we know the risk is low for kids in contracting and being hospitalized and of course the worst

secretary devos has a really unusual security situation that we reported about back in 2018 that devos, unlike any other cabinet member, currently, and only one in history that we could find has round the clock armed security. while the price for that, through september of this year to taxpayers now, is $25 million. so her absence on the public stage is starting to really draw crit critics. and this week, there is a mobile billboard that traveled from washington to her resort area where she has a 22,000-square-foot summer home off lake michigan in holland, michigan, with a mobile billboard telling betsy devos that she should, quote, stop hiding in your mansion and get out and start doing more to advocate for those school children who are even now starting to go back to places and schools that people fear are just not safe. >> an important story at a critical time. people can read it at nbcnews.com. heidi przybyla, thank you for your reporting and for being on the program. we appreciate it. >>> we are now just 84 days away from the presidential election. and most americans aren't confid

secretary of education betsy devos joins us now. secretary devos, thank you for joining us.hese gallup polls on the screen. it seems to me and a lot of americans for the push to get in-person learning is losing steam. you see from may 25th to june 8th. 56% of the population wanted in person school and you move forward to july and now down to 36%. so the whole push seems to be losing steam. what does the administration think about that? >> well, we know that it is a coordinated effort in a campaign to continue to sew fear. when you look at facts and when you look at the science we know the important thing for kids is to be able to get back into school, into their classrooms, back with their peers, back with their teachers and learning in person. and for most students this is the case. there are some for whom it is not the right answer but we need kids back in school learning. as secretary azar has rightfully said this is a matter of health versus health. children's mental growth and well-being, their social emotional growth. their development. all of it relates to a continued

the frequent french comedy—drama perfumes stars emmanuelle devos as a former perfumer who now works asse. anne's job is to sniff out problems in products and create a scent that customers don't turn their noses up at. from luxury leather handbags to cat litter, corporatejobs keep her busy enough to hire a chauffeur, guillaume, played by gregory montel. as a cash—strapped divorced father, he's reluctantly prepared to put up with a client who's both rude and demanding — which anne certainly is — but guillaume begins to take an interest in anne's work, and an unlikely understanding develops. cut from the same cloth as driving miss daisy and green book, perfumes pits two opposite characters against each other on journeys, making humourous work of their differences and tugging on the old heartstrings as they change each other‘s lives. there are moments of sharp comic timing. i definitely laughed out loud more than once. but generally, the film isn't quite witty or emotive enough to merit the leisurely pace. still, ifound it interesting insight into the job of a perfumer, which is a fabulous

with like i don't know, maybe betsy devos' master plan is to just hope that the school shooters killproblems just cancel each other out. because i don't understand what else she is thinking. america can't just open schools because other countries have opened schools. those countries got coronavirus under control first. one comes because of the other. it is like when i was growing up, i really wanted jordans, i really wanted jordans. but i didn't realize that all my friends had jordans because thrair parents had disposable income. i didn't understand the link. so that didn't stop me from trying to have what my friends had, and you know what happened, i kept on pushing and pushing until my birthday, i got a pair of gordons, the official shoe of gored an ramsey, for more on how to reopen schools, i am joined by a man who has been repeatedly fired as a substitute teacher, michael kosta, what is going on, kosta. >> it's great, trevor, it took me a month but i finally got rid of all of those fireworks hi laying around. >> trevor: wait, that was you, dude, i couldn't sleep-- we're going to

vice president pence and education secretary betsy devos were also there for the kids first event. the white house acknowledged that not all states have been impacted by the coronavirus the same, and not all school systems can handle it, but the president suggested that schools could potentially lose funding if they don't allow in person classes. >> why are we paying? if a school is closed, why are we paying the school? i would rather give it to the student organization parents. >> it takes the same amount of money for actual, virtual, or hybrid. >> education secretary devos said that children should not be quote held can'ttive other people's fears and agendas. the white house also stressed that the risk is low for children contracting, being hospitalized, or dyeing from covid-19. >> coming up, we'll speak with a researcher about a nasal spray designed to prevent covid- 19. >>> and coronavirus numbers continue to climb here in the u.s., and in one county in georgia, write it saw nearly a thousand students infected after classes resumed there. we'll have details from all across the

secretary devos and i, as you know, mr. president, have traveled around the country to places like north carolina and indiana and louisiana and we are working literally day in and day out with governors and state education leaders to find a way that we can safely reopen our schools. our commitment is to make sure that our states and our schools have the best guidance. we'll talk a little bit about that today. the cdc actually issued some new guide posts, mr. president, not long ago. the first document they issued was the cdc's position that it is best for our kids to be back in school. the cdc has recognized it is a public health priority to have our kids back to school and in-person learning. mr. president, as you have also made clear, we are going to make sure our schools and states have the resources to be able to safely reopen. we are calling on congress to work with us that appropriate another $105 billion. we believe that we can safely reopen our schools. we know it is best for our kids. we don't want them to fall beh

help for kids in poor schools, the message has been reiterated by the loyal education secretary betsy devos, she too has joined in the threats of schools and don't reopen, now the republicans in the senate have taken their threat and turned it into legislation, with their proposal and the next relief package, let me be really clear, there is a concern about empty classrooms, those who study childhood behavior loo worry that lack of socialization takes its toll when childhood development, teachers are signals with evidence of child abuse which may be going unreported, remote learning works well for some boat not for others. but that's not the concern of this president, he wants schools back so he can claim a false victory over the coronavirus. last week i led 20 for my colleagues to the majority and democratic leaders, proposing to him putting children and teachers into any danger by conditioning funding when schools reopen in person. recently i had the opportunity to visit the little village of the academy in chicago with the public schools chief janet jackson, some wonderful people are the

i also invited secretary devos to testify today, so she could explain why she is pressuring schools to fully re-open, despite the risks. i offered to accommodate her schedule.it but she refused to appear. i find it hard to understand how secretary devos can expect to lead our nation's effort to safely educate our children during this pandemic if she refuses to speak directly to congress and the american people. i will now yield to my friend, the distinguished ranking member, mr. scalise, for his opening remarks. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and appreciate you calling this hearing. i do want to mention since the chairmani mention the president spokesperson, kelly mcenery come to finish the quote that was started by the chairman. quote, shehe said, that sciences on our side here. we encourage localities and states to just simply follow the science. open our schools. that was the president spokesperson on that issue. mr. chairman, last week our nation's top public health official came before the select subcommittee and urged the importance for america's children to safely reopen our school

in fact, some of us most recently, we sue the devos administration every other week, but most recently got back an order in court that required her to pay up on the actual, you know, predatory loans that were made to these students, and it's an example of i think the important work that all of us are doing. i know my colleagues have many more examples. >> let me jump in -- >> that's my last word. it's an honor to work with all of you and our colleagues across the states, and i really think that farah is right. i think democratic ags are the gain. they not only have been holding the line but driven us forward. you don't have a more progress body of actors in government period anywhere in the country than the likes of democratic ags. i love the relationship with netroots nation and i think together we can get a lot done. >> thank you ag. i think ag weiser, you wanted to jump in? >> yeah, let me jump in and start with her point, which is our role here is to defend people and protect people. those who prey on people, whether it's big companies, keith talked about the importance of antitrus

education secretary betsy devos was on hand and reiterated the president's core beliefs about reopening. >> we know that for students and their families, they can't be held captive to other people's fears or agendas we have got to ensure that families and parents have options that are going to work for their child and for their children's education >> joining us now, american federation of teachers president randi weingarten the aft represents 17.3 million teachers from preschool to grade 12 president weingarten, it's great to have you. you're on record saying if you want to blame someone over the schools not reopening, look no further than donald trump and mitch mcconnell. so we understand where you think we need to look if that's what we're interested in in trying to figure out why it's not working. you think that the house did their job and we need about $2300 per student. will that do it? what would that -- when we need to get this done specifically where your teachers feel safe? >> so, i'm glad you asked the question and i'm sorry, you know, as we're still all doing remotely, my do

>> even as devos is following trump and demanding that schools reopen, mika, she has a public schedulefor weeks according to nbc's review of her schedule. she's not touring those public schools that she's demanding reopen, even though we know many of them have poor ventilation systems which is a concern in other buildings, like restaurants for spread. she's not raising any funding alarms about the severe shortages that public school says they're facing. and last week she declined to testify before congress on a hearing specifically on school reopening. so i reached out to her office and asked what she's doing, they said she's been in constant contact with officials and superintendents. however when we reached out to the superintendent association, which represents superintendents in all 49 states they said they have not heard from her all year. this is all the more notable because she does have the around the clock armed security detail which in theory could take her anywhere she wants to go, mika. nbc first reported on this in 2018, the amount of money this is costing taxpayers. we ch

secretary devos has talked about that. congress or can different states have the flexibility to do that? >> there's two ways to do that, one is congressional funding that was distributed by the cares act which only 2% has been spent and with new money coming down the line, governors should be able to distribute micro grants. that's extra money, of course. the other way to do this -- states have allowed themselves to waive laws regarding accountability and time which is what keeps people in schools, certain amounts of teachers. all of the stuff is gone, why can't we waive the zones. paul: yeah, that's an excellent idea. thank you, jeanie allen, appreciate it. what we can learn from the bitter 6-week battle over contested ballots in new york congressional primary. >> what's going on in mark with the carolyn maloney, i think they have to have a new election. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ engine revs ] uh, you know there's a 30-minute limit, right? tell that to the rain.
