parents gathered on capitol hill to protest president trump's pick for secretary of education, linda mcmahon. they call it an education smackdown. that's a throwback to mcmahon's time building wwe before her career in politics. critics say mcmahon is not qualified to lead the federal agency, and that her nomination shows the department is at risk. their nominee to be the secretary of education shows that they don't value the person who's in charge of the department of education, otherwise, they would not have chosen linda mcmahon. the group fears federal funding for the public s school system, especiay high poverty schools, would go away. under the trump administration, educators vowed to continue to fight for vulnerable students nationwide. could traffic backups be coming back to yosemite? the park's reservation system is on hold. how the trump administration is playing a part in this. also, would you know if you were having a problem with your heart? we're going to break down some of the symptoms specific to women that may surprise you. but before we head to break, we want to know what tre

mike:you mentioned linda mcmahon to lead the department of education, she has a confirmation hearinging up this week. what are your expectations? >> i expect to hear a student's first agenda vote starts with cutting waste from the federal government and puts power back in the hands of parents. i am looking forward to hearing the future secretary talk about her vision for education. what does it look like when america leads the world in education? we can and we should. falling standards and misplaced priorities have robbed millions of kids of a great education. this should stop here. donald trump has been clear he is the school choice president. future secretary mcmahon will do a great job supporting his vision. mike:among the early executive orders, one promoting school choice and you can see on the nation's report card, 61% of fourth graders, 70% of eighth graders, failure to meet basic math standards, the numbers are troubling. he did an executive order promoting school choice. what do you expect the impact of that will be? >> when parents have school choice, government run schools

we will see what linda mcmahon is going to do, she will get confirmed and see her distribute her power school choice programs from the federal government. if you work it all out it is going to be better than with the department of education. that is my humble opinion as a former teacher. got to leave it at that. i love you, thank you for joining us, really appreciate it. grady, thank you for being here for the whole hour. wonderful to have you in new york city. former sheriff mark lam on migrants turning around and heading home over the trump immigration crackdown in missouri congressman jason smith on trump's big beautiful bill. bill hemmer on joe rogan saying democrats could assist him of doge is losing them credibility and guess who else is here in the new york city? jimmy failla. we have a beautiful subject for him to dig into. he's always ready. jimmy failla is ready to go. ♪ —hi! —hi! ♪ chocolate fundraiser. ♪ with the chase mobile app, things move a little more smoothly. ♪ deposit checks easily and send money quickly.

by the way, linda mcmahon is supposed to be the next secretary of education.ts his way, he's nominated her to lead the department of education. but just to be clear, randi, for our viewers sake, state and local governments are primarily responsible when it comes to public education in those states for running the schools in their states. but they are supplemented by so much funding from the federal department of education. and you put out some numbers. we've got a few to just outline as well. you mentioned title one, nearly $20 billion. go to those title one programs providing money to high poverty schools, $15 billion to help schools cover the cost of education for kids with disabilities. and then there's the 1.6 trillion federal student loan program as well. i mean, if the department is dismantled or even significantly gutted, would those funds that congress has already approved still be disbu >> so that's so that's. >> why we. >> have. >> to look at. the eo, because. this congress appropriates the money. directly for. >> these kids. >> where's the money goi

amna: linda mcmahon is very close to president trump. she was cochair of his transition committee. his administrator for the small business administration. one of the people who came back for the second term so they are very close. she was -- it was presumed she will be ready, willing, and we will see if she's able to implement his vision but you know, her own past is not particularly incendiary. she has a very thin education record but she does have an education record and the work she did in connecticut, the things she said when she was running for senate in connecticut and successfully twice were much more mainstream education ideas. geoff: based on your reporting, what do educators think about all of this? there was just that national record -- that national report card that found that most fourth and eighth graders in 2024 still performed below pre-pandemic 2019 levels in both reading and math. it suggests the status quo is not working. laura: right, and that actually is the argument you hear from conservatives for closing the education department. they will say, look, we have

reporter: why nominate linda mcmahon of the secretary of department of education? president trump: i want to put herself out of a job. we are ranked number one. we spend more per pupil and ranked at the bottom of the list. what i want to do is let the state runs. i believe in school choice. i want the states to run schools and i want linda to put herself out of job. [indiscernible chatter] president trump: give the schools back to indiana, idaho. so, if you look at the list, denmark, sweden, norway way, china, list of well educated you have a lot of countries not surprising. i think if you move their schools into some of the states that are well run states they would be as good as denmark, norway and sweden and you know who they are. if you go to new york and suffolk and long island and nassau, you have maybe six or seven locations and new york city which would include the five burroughs and that would run much better. same thing with los angeles or california. you would have riverside -- break it up to six or seven. most of them would be states and you would have

he said specifically that he had told linda mcmahon, who is his pick to be secretary of education, that he wanted her once she's confirmed, to basically put herself out of a job. i spoke to a white house official who said that there will be some stages to this operation, as it were. there's going to be an executive order that will kick off a 90 day review. the president said he would work with congress, and he'll have to work with congress, because he can't just close the cabinet agency, a cabinet department or an agency without congress intervening or passing a law to allow that. probably that's not going to happen, because he would need to have 60 votes in the senate for it to. but he can certainly start the process. and that's what he's looking to do with his executive order when it comes out later this month. >> oh, linda mcmahon. she co-chaired the transition with howard lutnick. she campaigned, she campaigned to be commerce secretary. and at the 11th hour, when he didn't get treasury secretary, he hip checked her. she got department of education, and now she could be out of a job.
