elizabeth: joining us now "the hill" columnist kristin tate. great to have you back on, kristin.he education secretary miguel cardona, he is a powerful guy, that it looks like he personally requested the now famous letter from the national school boards association calling school board parents domestic terrorists and suggested using the patriot act meant for isis to basically aim that at school board parents. so he is on that letter ahead of time. this is troubling stuff. what do you think? >> right. if these allegations are true this is a massive and infuriating scandal. it appears that the biden administration waged war on parents from the top, from the highest levels. ag merrick garland stated that his memo which mobilized the fbi was based on that nsba letter. we're now hearing that biden's own education secretary was involved in the creation of that very letter. look, these radical leftists, they want to target parents because they want the state to have full control of the programing of young minds. they do not believe the parents are the primary stakeholders in their own k

charles: i want to go to a fellow at the women independent's forum, kristin tate. alk to you about bitcoin, other things, real quick, i'm not sure if you had a chance to listen to president biden. pretty upset, went into this meeting with a last-ditch attempt to get a couple of senators we know were opposed to changing the filibuster. probably a few others who just don't want the public spotlight shined on them that much. just your thoughts. he is pretty upset. this sounds like a rally cry, maybe something for them to use going into the midterm elections? >> yeah. that's right, charles. i think what is really going on the democrats really want to federalize our voting rules in this country. they know they can't win on policy. this is how they're going to try to do it. i find it interesting that they say it is voter suppression to require i.d. at the polling place when they are now demanding that everyone show i.d. and vaccine passports to basically do anything or operate in any way, in any major city. so i think that is what is going on here. they're panicked. the p
