What are the challenges in abolishing the Department of Education?
But the thing is, even though this executive order would be historic, it would be hugely impactful, Trump can't just abolish the Department of Education with a signature. The Department of Education was created through an act of Congress, so it must be abolished by a vote in Congress. However, Welcome back to another episode of The Brett Cooper Show. We have some updates for you all. I'm so honored. I'm so excited to inform you all that I've gotten a pop filter. So the days of me blasting in your ears and you hearing literally every single piece of my enunciation, Hopefully those days are over. Also guys, I read your comments. I removed the headphones. You know, I got these really cool headphones that you saw in the previous episode.
And also you'll see them in an episode that I pre-recorded for next week. But I got these really cool headphones. They're from the 70s. We got them fixed up so that I could use them. I put it on and it just didn't feel right. And oddly, I just felt so weird wearing them when I saw comments being like, Brett, you don't need the headphones anymore. So I have officially ditched them. We're back to the original setting. Happy to be here. But guys, today we need to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart. We need to talk about the state of education. If you guys have been watching my content for the last three years, even before the last three years, because this is something I would write about constantly and talk about in my social media videos, we need to talk about education and more specifically what the future holds for education under President Trump, because Trump has been signing
executive orders left and right, and I know it is pissing off the left because they think that he is abusing his power, but honestly, he is doing exactly what he promised us. I mean, the theme of Trump's presidency thus far is promises made, promises kept, and listen, we are getting exactly what we voted for, and we are very happy. I mean, from keeping men out of women's sports just a couple of days ago, which was just incredibly historic if you guys have not seen that photo, of Trump signing the executive order surrounded by young female athletes. It was, I mean, truly brought tears to my eyes. So many years of hard work came to that moment. It was just incredible. I mean, from that to directing our government to unseal the JFK records, so much has happened. And next up in the slate of executive orders is apparently the future of the Department of Education and TLDR Trump wants to abolish it. But as are many things in our political landscape right now, education is a very heated issue.
And a lot of people don't understand how this would work if Trump would even be able to abolish it. They don't understand why people even want to get rid of the Department of Education. And they're very concerned with what happens after the Department of Education has been abolished. So we're gonna try to break all of that down for you guys, answer some questions, but before we do, if you want ad-free episodes, a weekly advice video from me, and an exclusive newsletter for subscribers only, make sure to check out my subscriber platform, Cooper Confidential. We have the link right here. We will also have it in the description below, along with my exclusive launch merch. But without further ado, let's of course get back into the topic. Abolishing the Department of Education has been something that has been talked about for years at this point, but in the grand political sense, it has kind of been a fringe issue. Many conservatives and Republicans in Congress are very much against this.
They support the Department of Education, and so this issue has really been propped up by libertarians like Justin Amash and limited government conservatives like my favorite Thomas Massey and Rand Paul. And Thomas Massey has actually tried to abolish the Department of Education multiple times at this point. It feels like he is constantly reintroducing a bill to abolish it completely, and yet it never happens. And as recently as last month, he reintroduced it yet again. On January 31st, he said, I just reintroduced H.R. 899, a one sentence bill to terminate. the Federal Department of Education return power back to teachers and parents. This is it, the entire bill.
