LARRY: THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
VIRGINIA FOXX.
NOW STICKING WITH THIS WHOLE
BUSINESS ABOUT EDUCATION LET’S
TALK ABOUT SOMETHING GOOD,
PARENTS ENDING THE DOMESTIC
TERRORISM IN OUR SCHOOL BOARDS
AND MAYBE OUR SCHOOLS.
SO WE’VE GOT MERCY SCHLAPP,
FORMER WHITE HOUSE STRATEGIC
COMS DIRECTOR, SENIOR FELLOW AT
CPAC FOUNDATION, AND LIZ PEEK,
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST, FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR.
MERCY, AT LEAST THERE IS STILL A
GOD.
THERE IS SOME GOOD THINGS
HAPPENING.
SO THE PARENTS WON, FLORIDA,
TEXAS, COLORADO, KANSAS,
PENNSYLVANIA, VIRGINIA,
ESPECIALLY FLORIDA WHERE THEY
PICKED UP SIX SCHOOL BOARDS.
BUT YOU’RE INVOLVED IN THIS.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A NATIONAL
TREND, IF IT IS SO IT IS A DARN
GOOD NATIONAL TREND?
>> WELL, LARRY, GOD HASN’T
ABANDONED US YET, THAT’S FOR
SURE BECAUSE WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING
AT VICTORIES IN THE SCHOOL
BOARDS, SOME DIFFERENT STATES, I
THINK IT IS VERY PROMISING.
THERE IS A SIGN WHERE PARENTS
ARE FINALLY STANDING UP, SAYING
NO MORE, REALLY BECOMING
POLITICALLY AWAKE.
THAT IS WHY YOU’VE SEEN EVEN SO
MANY OF THESE PARENT THAT SAID,
WAIT A MINUTE, I WILL STEP UP
AND RUN FOR SCHOOL BOARD.
LET’S REMEMBER THE REPUBLICANS
FOR A LONG TIME, THEY NEVER GOT
REALLY, DIDN’T GET INVOLVED IN
THESE SCHOOL BOARD RACES.
DEMOCRATS WOULD RUN.
THEY WOULD WIN ESPECIALLY IN
THESE CITIES AND THEN ALL OF A
SUDDEN WE’RE SAYING WAIT A
SECOND, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,
THESE STATE ELECTIONS, THEY
MATTER BUT THESE LOCAL ELECTIONS
MATTER EVEN MORE BECAUSE THEY
ARE IMPACTING THE COMMUNITIES IN
A WAY THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN.
WE LEARNED THAT WHEN WE WENT YOU
THROUGH THE COVID CLOSURES,
MASK-WEARING CRAZINESS OF OUR
CHILDREN AND ALSO EFFORTS FOR US
STOP CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND
GENDER IDEOLOGY THEY’RE TRYING
TO TEACH THESE CHILDREN.
LARRY: ABSOLUTELY.
LIZ PEEK, SO TWOFOLD, NUMBER
ONE, THIS COULD REPRESENT, I
WILL ASK, WILL THIS REPRESENT A
CHANGE IN THIS WHOLE TERRIBLE
LEFT-WING CRAZY CRT, ET CETERA,
AGENDA IN THE SCHOOLS?
AND NUMBER TWO, IS THIS LIKE THE
UNDERBELLY, UNDERNEATH THE HOOD
OF THE ELECTION STORY?
WHEN YOU SEE GRASSROOTS STUFF
LIKE THIS AT THE SCHOOL BOARD
LEVEL, DOES THIS MEAN IN FACT
THE CAVALRY IS COMING?
>> WELL, IN ANSWER TO YOUR LAST
QUESTION, LARRY, THERE ARE
GROUPS LIKE FREEDOM WORKS WHICH
REALLY IS A GRASSROOTS
ORGANIZATION HELPING PEOPLE
LEARN HOW TO RUN FOR THEIR LOCAL
SCHOOL BOARDS.
I DON’T THINK THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE
BUT THE PANDEMIC IF THERE WAS
ONE GOOD THING THAT CAME OUT OF
COVID IT IS PARENTAL AWARENESS
OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE
SCHOOLS.
PARENTS DIDN’T MUCH LIKE WHAT
THEY SAW.
NOT JUST REMOTE LEARNING WHICH
WAS A CATASTROPHE, BUT REALLY
CONTROL THE UNIONS HAVE OVER
THESE SCHOOLS AND THE FACT THAT
THEY CARE MORE ABOUT THAT
CONTROL THAN THEY DO ABOUT WHAT
OUR KIDS ARE LEARNING IN SCHOOL.
THE GREAT THING IS, THE
REPUBLICANS OWN THIS ISSUE.
THEY OWN EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
EDUCATION BECAUSE DEMOCRATS GET
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND
INCALCUABLE AMOUNTS OF GRASS
ROOTS ORGANIZING COURTESY OF THE
TEACHERS UNIONS.
DEMOCRATS CANNOT TAKE ON OUR
PUBLIC EDUCATION, REPUBLICANS
CAN AND THEY SHOULD.
THEY KNOW IT’S A WINNING ISSUE.
EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY IT IS A
MORE WINNING ISSUE.
LARRY: YOU KNOW, MERCY, JUST
LAST POINT HERE, THIS STUDENT
LOAN BAILOUT BUSINESS, THIS IS A
LOSER.
THIS HAS CAPITAL L-O-S-E-R,
LOSER.
IT KIND OF GOES -- NOT EVEN THE
REPUBLICANS CAN BLOW IT WITH
THESE KINDS OF THINGS.
>> WELL I THINK THAT BIDEN MADE
A POLITICAL CALCULATION IN
SAYING WELL THIS IS GOING TO
HELP IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS TO
BRING MORE YOUNG VOTERS ALONG OR
THE MILLENIALS ALONG.
I THINK IT IS BACKFIRING.
I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE EVEN SOME
OF THE FORMER OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SAYING
LOOK THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE
INFLATION, THIS IS VERY
PROBLEMATIC FOR THE ECONOMY, IN
ADDITION TO THOSE PARENT WHO
SACRIFICED DAY IN, DAY OUT TO
SAVE MONEY SO THEIR KIDS CAN GO
TO SCHOOL, IT IS WORKING CLASS
THAT WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE
GRADUATE STUDENTS THAT YOU KNOW,
TAKE GENDER STUDIES FOR CRYING
OUT LOUD, I MEAN, I JUST DON’T
THINK THIS POLICY IS POPULAR.
I DON’T THINK IT IS GOING TO
WORK.
LARRY: IT’S A LOSER, THE WHOLE
THING IS A LOSER.
IF REPUBLICANS WOULD RUN WITH
THIS STUFF.
I’M SORRY, LADIES, WE’RE SHORT
OF TIME TODAY AS ALWAYS.
LIZ PEEK, MERCY SCHLAPP,
TERRIFIC STUFF.
