About this episode
Why are so many parents choosing homeschool? Because government schools have become laboratories for progressive indoctrination and Marxist ideology. Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, returns to Tapp into the Truth to discuss how public education was systematically corrupted—from John Dewey's progressive education philosophy to today's Critical Race Theory curriculum. The very things revealed in his new book: Woke and Weaponized: How Karl Marx Won the Battle for American Education, and How We Can Win It Back.The Trump administration has opened a new trade investigation into manufacturing in foreign countries — this after the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's previous tariffs, which were authorized by declaring an economic emergency. The start of the process to fully replace Trump's prior tariffs could invite a return of much of the drama that rattled the global economy last year. The since-overturned tariffs led to new frameworks with U.S. trade partners — and it's unclear what impact a new set of import taxes could have on those agreements. But what the American people want to know is "how does this affect me?" Mark Quann, founder & CEO of The Perfect Portfolio and author of multiple books, including Be Smart Pay Zero Taxes: Use the Buy, Borrow, Die Strategy to Get Rich and Stay Rich, joins me to discuss what it means to you and what "smart money" should be doing right now.Military action in Venezuela and Iran has led to Democrats and legacy media lying to the American people. Creating both legitimate and illegitimate concerns about ground wars, "forever wars," and elevated terror risks here at home. All with a lot of finger-pointing and not much true information. Major Fred Galvin, 26-year Marine veteran and author of A Few Bad Men: The True Story of U.S. Marines Ambushed in Afghanistan and Betrayed in America, joins me to discuss what realist expectations should look like and what we should really be concerned about. New financial scrutiny has revealed that Siebel Newsom's (Gavin Newsome's wife) nonprofit, The Representation Project, has collected approximately $1.48 million in licensing fees from public schools since 2012—much of it taxpayer money—while pushing her films (Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In) into classrooms through official state social-emotional learning guidelines. At the same time, her for-profit company (Girls Club Entertainment) has received $1.64 million+ from the nonprofit for production and licensing services, and she personally draws an annual salary exceeding $150,000 from the nonprofit. Combined annual payouts to her and her LLC have reached up to $300,000 in recent years—roughly a third of the organization's gross receipts in some periods. While total estimated disbursements to her and her entities over the past decade have been more than $3.7 million.
