Trump administration is showing that they're completely inept. We have Caroline Levitt doing the thing she does very well, which is live while having a cross on her neck. And we also have Linda McMahon actually telling the truth. Though I don't think she meant this the way that it came across. I'm excited to have this conversation because you bring so much sunshine to a topic that's been kind of tough. First of all, tell us where we are with where kids are doing. and just scholastically in the country. We're doing terribly.

It's like, it's your job. It's your job. You are the Secretary of Education. We're doing terribly. Thanks. Thanks. What are you going to do about it? Maybe she'll say.

Our education systems failed our kids. The latest name scores, which were released just after the president took office, and that's the national report card. Only about 30% of high schools and eighth graders can read for 50% of, or do math proficiently. Think about that. Public schools across the country only about 30%. Some places 35%, but it's just terrible. Okay, and the solution? No solutions. You're, she's a billionaire. She is worth so much money and her big idea is that we don't have that our schools are failing. Okay, and also one more thing is

It's 2026, okay? Donald Trump got elected in 2024. It's been almost, it's been like a year and a half. How much longer until you take responsibility for this country? And that's to everyone in this administration, including Donald Trump, who just continually blames Democrats. Let's just go over to Caroline Levitt, who very quickly did the same thing. When asked, why didn't Donald Trump pay TSA workers sooner if he could. I've been asked by multiple Trump supporters that have said, given the fact that the president on that Friday gave that member. Also, I mean, I don't mean to be what I, like,

but what the hell is she wearing? It looks like, can I say it? Can I say it? I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. Use tampon. I'm random informing VHS to pay TSA workers. I know there's a lot of negotiations involved in a shut.

down at the size. Why did the president not sooner issue that payment to TSA workers? Well, it's because of the Democrats voting seven. Why didn't the president issued the payment to TSA workers sooner? Because of the Democrats. Give me a freaking break. In times against reopening the Department of Homeland Security that we came to a place of an existential crisis. I mean, you saw the lines at various major airports across the country, American travelers really paying the price for Democrats' partisan games. And so the president worked with his legal team here at the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to find a solution to take care of the emergency that we were seeing.

Democrats voted to open the government 10 different times. Republicans said no because they wanted to, I don't know, something about the Save America. I don't fully understand, but Republicans voted against it. Now, they are like our taxpayer dollars are going to this random helicopter that flew. Kid Rock's house. God, everyone's so goddamn weird and lame. Now, what we're learning is that U.S. Army officials have now opened an investigation into two attack helicopters flying to Kid Rock's home for no apparent reason. Okay, I mean, investigations go nowhere in this administration, but I guess, sure, I'm glad you're, I'm glad someone's doing something, but I, I will, I will just wait with bated breath to see if there's any consequences.

Now, this is how Caroline Levitt started the pressor. Good afternoon, everyone. Could you hear our amen in there? We just said a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I just, all right. The cost of gas is going out of control.

Here's Caroline Levitt's solution. And then secondly, the cost of diesel is averaging at five, 38, the gallon right now. What's the message from the Trump administration to truck drivers who are dealing with those high fuel costs right now? Again, we understand. We hear you. We see you. We are fully tracking this short-term fluctuation in oil and in diesel prices. And that's why the president and the administration have continually announced robust actions to provide stability in the global energy market. As you know, political risk insurance, one of those actions allowing countries to purchase

sanctioned oil just to increase the supply in the meantime. We've worked to release 400 billion barrels of oil in refined products as well. We issued the 60-day Jones Act waiver. All of this has with the goal of increasing supply to... Oh, the stuttering. The stuttering shows that she knows they're in deep trouble and folks pounce very quickly. They're tracking it. How reassuring to the truckers.

They're tracking it. Yeah, we're tracking the money. We're track. Don't worry, everyone. We're tracking gas prices. Okay, cool. Okay, so the cost of diesel is 538, but they're tracking it. What's going to happen is costs are going to go up through the roof.

L.O.L. They're already in the therapy speak inflation response. That one is at the very bottom of the toolkit. Yeah, that's true. We understand you. We hear you. We see you. Don't worry.

Don't worry about the we understand what's happening. We feel your pain. We're there with you. All right, solutions. Hello. I don't think they do those anymore. Like, is no one, is no one take responsibility for anything anymore? Does anyone take responsibility for anything? The only thing they seem to be taking responsibility for is this goddamn ballroom. Can you tell us more about this massive military complex underneath the president's new ballroom? I cannot tell you more about that, actually, as a matter of fact. However, the military is making some upgrades to their facilities here at the White House, and I'm not privy to provide any more details on that this time. God, we are living through hell. Okay, one more. The president posted this morning about his threat that on leaving Iran,

he said we might be blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating, plans, oil wells, hard island, and possibly all desalinization plans. Under international laws, striking civilian infrastructure like that is generally prohibited. Why is the president threatening what would amount to potentially a war crime with the U.S. military? And how do you square that with the administration repeatedly saying that the U.S. does not target civilians? Look, the president has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime at this moment in time,

as evidenced by the statement that you just read, that their best move is to make a deal. or else the United States Armed Forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination, and the President is not afraid to use them. That's not what I said, Garrett, and you're saying the word potential for a reason, because I'm sure some experts are telling you that in your ear to try to ask me that question. Of course, this administration and the United States Armed Forces will always act within the confines of the law. But with respect to achieving the full objectives of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump is going to move forward unabated, and he expects the Iranian regime to make a deal with the administration.

Tonight end, which of those objectives would destroying a desalization plant most help? Haley, go ahead. Thank you, Ryan. Now, I feel like when that happens, when she doesn't want to answer her question, I kind of feel like the next person should always ask the same question. Like, let's just get to the bottom of this. Anyways, she's asked about atomic bombs, and I love that. She's like, we're not saying that. That's what you mean.

do you mean other than saying like we have weapons beyond your imagination? I mean, they're not being very, they're not, I mean, they're being very cute about it, but they're not really being very subtle, are they? All right. Well, another day at hell. What are we going to do? You know, I will say, I don't know. I know you saw some of the No King stuff on the channel over the weekend, but I found that to be very hopeful. I saw folks were like, what is the point of No Kings? It doesn't do anything. There's no listed demands. It's the third one. What's it doing? I'll tell you what it's doing. It's showing that this shit's not popular. And secondly, look at all these people that. can get activated. All right. Now, we're doing it peacefully. We're going to be peaceful.

But it shows that a mass amount of people can be organized. 8 million, 9 million, 10 million people can be organized like that. That's a very powerful thing. Now, what we're doing, how we're being organized right now is we're making protest signs and we're walking peacefully. But imagine if that's, we can, we can focus that in any direction. we want, okay? We don't have to yet, but we can and will if things get crazy. And so this administration knows that there are millions of people ready and willing to organize at a drop of a hat. That's scary to them. Trust me. And it's empowering for me. I hope it's empowering for you. So when people say like, oh, I don't understand a point of this. Things are still going on as normal.

No, it's about potential. It's showing that we can. And that is a... Why did I just get so bright? Hello? Okay. It's showing that there's potential. And it's showing that we have a lot of power.

We're not using it fully yet, but we can and will if we must. So say that to the naysayers. and F. Caroline Levin, her tampon shirt. See you soon. Bye.
