What are Clay and Buck discussing in the intro?
Hey, Clay, if there was a summer camp for critical thinking, we'd be the chief counselors.
Those jellyheads in June would be intellectual warriors by August.
Be a lot of fun, too. Some Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure references thrown in.
This podcast, like a daily dose of that, minus the campfire's archery and pranking the girls.
The bonafide boot camp for critical thinking. You can get in on it for free at the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Just search our names Clay and Buck, listen and subscribe.
Well, the only thing I totally admired about Sleepy Joe Biden is the following. He'd go to a beach, he'd lay down in a cot, barely able to get his feet through the sand, and within minutes he's sleeping and you have cameras watching him. I could never do that. I would never be able to sleep like that.
You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Thursday morning. Ben Ferguson with you. It's nice to have you on the 47 Morning Update. And there's three major stories we're dealing with. First up, Donald Trump to sign a major order shutting down the Department of Education. I'll have the details in just a moment. Also, a major win for American consumers with gas and egg prices coming down quickly.
What did Trump say about the Department of Education?
What caused it and will this have an effect on other products? That in a moment. And finally, Donald Trump moves to get rid of, well, major debt issues in this country with the introduction of golden visas. And he explains exactly how to work. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. It is another promise that Donald Trump made to the American people. We're going to get rid of the Department of Education because they're doing a terrible job and they're not actually educating our kids. In fact, we are the lowest ranking in many categories of industrialized nations. And that is why Donald Trump today is going to sign an order to shut down the Department of Education.
Now, to be clear, as the left is already fear-mongering over this, this doesn't mean that any child in a public school is... not going to be able to go to a school. He's made it clear it is time to hand this responsibility back over to the states so the states can do what is right for the students in their state. The president also said that many of the people that are working at the Department of Education, well, they're not even showing up for work or doing their job at all. Take a listen.
The Department of Education, maybe more so than any other place, has a lot of people that can be cut. They're number one, not showing up to work. Number two, they're not doing a good job. And if you take a look at our education process, and if you look at the charts, cuz they have numerous charts where they do the top 40. We're at number 37, 38, 39, and 40.
Why is Trump advocating for school choice?
And recently they hit, during Biden's last few days, they hit last. So they were number 40, and yet we're number one in cost per pupil. So it's pretty bad, but we have a dream. And you know what the dream is? We're gonna move the Department of Education, we're gonna move education into the states. So that the states, instead of bureaucrats working in Washington, so that the states can run education. And you have Norway, you have Denmark, you have Sweden, you have various, Finland, you have various countries that do very well. You also have China that does very well in education, which is a pretty big tribute to China, I must say. 1.4 billion and they're in the top 10. And it's pretty amazing. So we can't blame size anymore. You know, normally you'd blame size. It's too big. How can you do it? But China does it. So we think when you move it back to Iowa and Indiana and all the states that run so well, there's so many I could name 30, maybe almost 40. Those will be as good as Denmark. Those will be as good as Norway. And they'll be as good as any of these.
I believe they'll be as good as any. Now, then you're going to have 10 that won't be so great. You're going to have five that will not be good at all, but we'll work with them and we'll get them to be good. But what we want to do is always school choice. But we're going to do school choice and we're doing it.
