important that i would say he wouldn t care about. i wonder if he would get confirmed if he was named. i think he d have a problem. he s so obviously unqualified. if you re a republican senator, think a lot of these senators resent people like ben carson who run these scam campaigns, i mean, especially to donald trump who won the nomination with one. and is going to be president of the united states. if you re ben sass or some other senator who doesn t care for donald trump and doesn t care for the circus of the republican party, this seems like a place you might vote no on the confirmation. the nikki haley pick, which again in the category of plausible republicans to take positions in an administration doesn t seem like a terrible pick. she s a republican. she has some experience. but also just a little out of nowhere from the experiencen shall stand. point and i love the fact that this is a huge promotion for one of his earliest backers who now gets to take the throne.
teachers and parents actually run their own schools. and to make sure that the federal government did the equity work but to let people actually focus on children not on testing. and what we saw, chris, is that in detroit where i spent a lot of time this year, the business community, the faith community, the labor community, parents, teachers, the mayor, we all came together on a rescue plan for detroit schools which passed the republican senate in michigan! the one person who hated it was betsy devos. and she spent $1.4 million think about draining the swamp in about six weeks to stop that plan. the labor rights continued. what did she want to stop? that plan required charters to be accountable. to require the same playing field and the same thing for kids as public schools. she wanted none of it and that s why she stopped it. she is also someone i
schools than they did before the recession and these cities, this drains money and it doesn t help kids. in an era in which arne duncan where think tanks have gotten behind charter schools, is the ideological difference between what she represents and what arne duncan represented that large? yes. because there s a difference between having charters look, i don t like what arne did about testing. yes, you guys are very critical. trying to make as you heard me say common core, make it about testing as opposed to about teaching. there s a lot of excesses that were reined in in the new federal aid policy. i gave the president a lot of credit because he saw the excesses and he worked at it. this is the difference. arne duncan never wanted to destabilize schools and use vouchers and charters that way. i run a charter in the south
people saying they re going to have to shut down the clinton foundation because whatever you think of it and i tended to think that the conflict stuff was overblown but the perception was real, you don t want to deal with this every day. and if i were advising president-elect trump i think i would probably be telling him the same thing. no, that s exactly right. that elijah cummings and msnbc are going to come after trump for every apparent conflict. we care about the people s business being done and conflicts. it makes it easier for him to get done what he says he ll get done if he clears it away. the other thing is trump s personality. and this is the part that worries me. we know how sort of impressionable he is. a lot of people think he s a hardline right winger, that s all bogus. he s very impressionable. if you ask him, what do you think of this person, chuck schumer. oh, schumer was good when i had this real estate deal. how people treat him affects how he cease them.
like john bolton. you can have someone who knew a lot about foreign policy. my sense is that that s right. haley is in the mainstream of the republican party, seems to be a smart talented person right. south carolina has an especially nasty politics that she has negotiated in a diplomatic way that gives her a raw skill set at the u.n. even if she doesn t have direct foreign relations experience. as for why she d want the job, nicky haley probably wants to run for president. right, right. if she takes this job, she ll have foreign policy experience. i want to before we leave, there was someone floated for treasury today that you were freaking out about. yes. someone sort of vaguely familiar. his name is john allison. the former ceo of the regional bank bb & t. he ran the libertarian kato think tank. he s an ideologue on banking, get rid of the federal reserve,
