Id ask each of the witnesses for the second panel to please take your seats. I apologize for that delay. We went through the three votes we had. We will now begin the second panel of five witnesses. Each witness will have a fiveminute Opening Statement followed by rounds of questions. Our first witness is Mister Dennis prager. Dennis prager is a bestselling author, columnist, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and also the cofounder of Prager University, an institution of Higher Learning on the internet which produces fiveminute videos in which experts distill complex topics in political science, history, philosophy, economics and psychology.

Test. Captioning performed by vitac theres no way of knowing what number of people are in homes that have already already have filters and dont even, therefore, know about a video because it just cant be accessed. We know that many teachers try to show our videos in classes and they come up they can do it on their own, but they cant do it through the school. What explanation has google given you for the restriction . You use the great word, frustration. We have gotten none. And actually its almost unbelievable because if you look at the list, like the Ten Commandments being a perfect example of how people will go, youve got to be kidding. I finally found out today, you did, we all heard the representative of google told us why the Ten Commandments video was taken down, because it contains murder. So, as i said, we have a solution, we will put up one without thou shall not murder in it. Thats so absurd as to be hilarious. This will be something i will replay on my radio show for years.
Be readyor anything. It is wonderful to be here talking with you today about your book. I want to first say what an extraordinary achievement the book is. The authoritative history that ive ever read in the School Choice movement. Its thoroughly researched and it really feels encyclopedic to me almost. Its everything that you would ever need to know. I wanted to first ask, im very familiar with your incredible work as an education reporter and i know a lot of education reporters have these sort of crystallizing moments in reporting with a classroom or in the family and we have a moment. I am curious to know if you have one of those moments that led you to start writing the book . I started thinking about School Choice movement when i was reporting about segregation in florida and as a part of that, we interviewed our team interviewed dozens of families trying to escape these and i was sort of struck by the options were. There were other Public Schools, Charter Schools and then a sum of
Teachers have to get out of here, what happened to the students grades . The students who pass the courses and did graduate to my understanding there was no substitute in my room. We asked who was to blim for the problems at ballou . Everybody has a higher up somewhere. So can i say everything falls on return person . I cant necessarily. But school wise if you are the principal, you are principal. The d. C. Public School Chancellor wilson said he talked to the ballou former principal and she stands by the actions. She is sitting down first with the q mccray who asked her the question parents wanted us to mind out. I didnt do anything wrong. She didnt mince words talking about the allegation surrounding the leadership. At Ballou High School. I pride myself on having integrity and supporting students. Headlines after the 7 on your side investigation found discrepancies in the records of the 2017 graduating class. 100 of the Ballou High School graduated, 100 got to college and 100 went. S
With a set up of a fiery press briefing a lot for Sarah Sanders to talk about in a few minutes. All of washington inside the white house and beyond has been talking about the revelations in this new book by Michael Wolff about the first year of the trump presidency. He describes that meeting as having been treasonous and said the fbi should have been called immediately rather than having that meeting in trump tower. He also said he thought the chances were zero that donald jr. Did not take those russians to see his father. Now all of that raises potentially Serious Problems for the president himself in terms of his knowledge of what was going on during the probe that bob mueller and the special counsel was not continuing on. The white house responded sharply with a statement from President Trump in which he said steve bannon has nothing to do with my presidency, he said that when he lost his job, was fired last summer, he lost his mind. Hes been peddling false information to the news m
