>> randi weingarten is the champion of the gaslight olympics.ine a push to open schools in 2020. everybody knows the family saw what's happening before their eyes over the past few years. the aft, randy's union lobbied this cdc to make it more difficult to reopen schools in person. they were threating safety strikes. health officials for not following the science, they were following the political science and the only way to hold them accountable is empower parents to hit them where it hurts with the funding stream. allow the money to follow the child away from those unionized institutions to other schools that align with their values. they will do a better job and listen to parents instead of labeling them domestic terrorists. stuart: i want to bring this up. a health science program at ohio state university requires students to take part in discussions about gender and race. students are asked to address privilege like if they are white or heterosexual. what is your response to that? >> why pay for this mess? why pay to go to an institution th

what do you think of what randi weingarten is saying here, congresswoman?ng me on, liz. point-blank, she's wrong with. i mean, parents are -- they want their children to be able to go to a high performing school. and, you know, as a parent myself if my child is in an f school, then i should have the freedom to be able to take my child to a high performing school. and we've seen the benefits of charter schools in louisiana are. they have the amazing graduation rates, they're high performing. and you know what's great about a charter school, is that if they're not performing well, then we shut them down. there's no accountability for public schools. so i would say that she has lost all credibility with her statements. she also lost all credibility when she kept our students out of going pack to school during covid. we have some of the most abysmal rates right now, and our students are still trying to make up for what she's doing to them -- she's done to them. so i wouldn't take anything she has to say to heart. elizabeth: parents in chicago are really angry,

so that's a fight we have to have. >> paul aparna, those comments from randi weingarten? >> i come at this as a researcher and also as a parent, so i wear a couple different hats. i think that what you see is this kind of flexibility that parents need right now. i don't want to hear -- that randi weingarten's comments were addressing those kinds of needs. and i think that point of view that ms. weingarten shared is very system driven and not necessarily taking into account the turbulence and disruptions that families have felt over the last few years. so lawmakers and policymakers around the country, in a number of states, have really started to address the need to give parents more options, and students more options and flexibility. whether that's in the public system that we know it, in the district schools, which is totally fine if those schools are working for those students, or to give more flexibility to attend a public charter school, or to use education savings account for multiple purposes like tutoring, like online courses, to send their child to a different typ

and finally randi weingarten, add 40 pounds to my bench press. she'll make it. on to the monologue.i'm looking over tonight's headlines trying to think of the perfect story to start the show. massive migrant caravan heading to the u.s. mexico border, its largest in over a year. the new york times turns its editorial page over to hamas. and aoc tweets mary christmas and by the way jesus was a palestinian refugee. each one more ridiculous than the next. then there's this a daily mail poll finds voters describe their 2024 choice between a trump second term and a biden second term as a choice between revenge or nothing. but is it really revenge that trump voters want? and is the biden presidency really about nothing? there may be no good things happening but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. there is a sense in our country that things have gone off the rails and even liberals are noticing. i'm thinking of people like noted feminist martina navratilova realizing wokeness is killing women's sports. dave chappelle refusing to allow a few ridge land groups decide what he's allowed to

go to school and they locked kids down from school which was terrible but they did not have randi weingartenthe head of the teachers union. i remember the feeling of fear and i heard that they did that in china and now they are doing that in america and that was not supposed to happen. other people said they cannot lock us down of course they can do that in china because it is communist so i was confident. we were the first date lockdown and since then i have seen homeless people. people looking for food and not money which is also unusual. i think ron desantis is doing an important thing, not george santos. people confuse those names, talking about the lockdown's not because we can go back in time but so the government never locks us down again. we are free because god made us free. communist do not believe that so they lock people down. host: let us look at a portion of that debate. between ron desantis and gavin newsom. it aired on fox news.
