The Truth with Lisa Boothe: California Fraud, DEI Spending & $100B Government Waste EXPOSED

Dems Are Political Insurgents 
 
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss the ongoing TSA crisis and the extraordinary impact of Linda from Arizona, whose idea to deploy ICE agents to assist overwhelmed TSA checkpoints has now become a nationwide policy. Clay describes how the Washington Post is seeking interviews about Linda’s call, emphasizing how rare it is for a single radio listener to spark a national policy shift. President Trump even personally signed a “Trump Was Right About Everything” hat for Linda aboard Air Force One, underscoring how responsive he has been to voter-generated ideas.
 
Clay details his own recent airport experiences, noting that TSA lines appear to be improving in some locations, partially due to ICE agents stepping in to handle non‑screening duties such as monitoring exits and assisting with crowd control—exactly the scenario Linda envisioned. Both hosts emphasize that Democrats created this crisis by refusing to fund TSA workers as part of their shutdown strategy targeting immigration policy. They argue that Democratic leaders are intentionally generating travel misery to create political backlash against Trump, even though Republican voters overwhelmingly understand the source of the problem.
 
Iran Deep Dive
 
National‑security expert Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explaining why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most strategically dangerous chokepoints in the world. Yates details how Iran’s geography, its control over key oil‑processing islands like Karg Island, and the narrow waterway’s global energy importance complicate any U.S. military response. He clarifies that while much of the oil shipped through the strait supplies China and India—not the U.S. directly—any disruption still pushes global prices upward because oil is a fungible commodity.
 
The hosts and Yates examine President Donald Trump’s evolving strategy toward Iran, including deadlines for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, targeted strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, and the possibility of limited U.S. troop movement—such as the deployment of elements of the 82nd Airborne—to support or execute rapid, high‑value operations. Yates explains the logic of Trump’s “sledgehammer diplomacy,” where overwhelming force is paired with opportunities for Iran to deescalate. The discussion also covers the likely endgame: preventing Iran’s nuclear capabilities, ensuring long‑term regional stability, empowering Gulf‑state partners, and identifying a credible post‑conflict governing figure within Iran. Clay and Buck emphasize that Arab nations—including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar—are quietly encouraging the pressure campaign on Iran, undermining media narratives that the conflict is solely the result of U.S.–Israel coordination. Yates stresses that regional actors have long viewed Iran as a destabilizing force and are now publicly aligning against Tehran.
 
Walkin' in Memphis, Safely 
 
Clay and Buck then welcome Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who offers a detailed look at Memphis’s historic collapse in violent crime, a result of President Donald Trump’s federal law‑enforcement surge. Blackburn explains how coordinated efforts across local police, federal agencies, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and newly confirmed federal officials have produced a 50% reduction in violent crime in under six months. The senator calls Memphis a national model—contrasting it sharply with Minneapolis and other Democrat‑run cities that have resisted federal assistance. She highlights thousands of arrests, the dismantling of gang networks, hundreds of recovered weapons and stolen cars, and over 150 missing children rescued.
 
The program shifts to the ongoing airport crisis created by the TSA funding shutdown, where ICE agents—deployed after a listener’s now‑famous idea—have dramatically improved screening efficiency. Clay and Buck play clips from Fox News and CNN showing astonishingly short lines at Atlanta’s airport, a night‑and‑day difference from the hours‑long waits plaguing travelers just days earlier. Senator Blackburn confirms that ICE’s presence is significantly easing congestion and reinforces that Congress continues working on public‑safety funding solutions.
 
Think Like Linda
 
Clay and Buck break down the swearing‑in of new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, confirmed 54–45, making him the first Cherokee Nation member to hold a Cabinet position. Clay jokes that he expected Trump to make an Elizabeth Warren comment, while Buck praises Mullin as a major leadership upgrade at DHS. Security and travel issues return to focus as Clay reports that Delta Airlines has suspended special travel privileges for members of Congress until TSA staff are funded—forcing lawmakers to stand in the same lines as the public. Clay and Buck strongly support this move, arguing that members of Congress should share the consequences of the shutdown they helped create.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 24 2026

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show kicks off live from Jacksonville, where Clay highlights the city’s underrated beach communities and welcomes listeners tuning in from the local affiliate. The discussion quickly turns to major national stories—starting with the ongoing TSA crisis and the extraordinary impact of Linda from Arizona, whose idea to deploy ICE agents to assist overwhelmed TSA checkpoints has now become a nationwide policy. Clay describes how the Washington Post is seeking interviews about Linda’s call, emphasizing how rare it is for a single radio listener to spark a national policy shift. President Trump even personally signed a “Trump Was Right About Everything” hat for Linda aboard Air Force One, underscoring how responsive he has been to voter-generated ideas.
 
Clay details his own recent airport experiences, noting that TSA lines appear to be improving in some locations, partially due to ICE agents stepping in to handle non‑screening duties such as monitoring exits and assisting with crowd control—exactly the scenario Linda envisioned. Both hosts emphasize that Democrats created this crisis by refusing to fund TSA workers as part of their shutdown strategy targeting immigration policy. They argue that Democratic leaders are intentionally generating travel misery to create political backlash against Trump, even though Republican voters overwhelmingly understand the source of the problem.
 
The hosts also discuss the media narrative surrounding TSA failures, with Clay calling out attempts to blame the situation on Trump rather than on the Democratic lawmakers who triggered the shutdown. Buck analyzes the political motivations behind the chaos, comparing Democrats’ tactics to insurgency strategies designed to destabilize daily life and manufacture anger for electoral advantage. The pair mock the sudden renewed concern from the Left over ICE agents wearing masks—pointing out the irony that many of the same people now complaining were the ones demanding mask mandates during the pandemic.
 
Midway through the hour, Clay and Buck shift to a major Supreme Court case on mail‑in ballots, focused on whether states can legally count ballots that arrive after Election Day. The discussion expands into a broader debate about election integrity, early voting, absentee ballots, ballot harvesting, and vulnerabilities in states that allow widespread mail voting. Clay argues strongly for limiting mail‑in ballots to narrow exceptions and returning to predominantly in‑person voting with ID requirements, pointing to Florida’s rapid and transparent tabulation process as a national model. The hosts explain how extended deadlines and lax ballot collection rules open the door to fraud, ballot trafficking, and inconsistent standards across states.
 

The conversation also examines historical election controversies, including the Minnesota Senate race that produced boxes of “found” ballots, and the unusual pattern in the 2024 election where enormous numbers of mail votes were cast only for the presidential line—disproportionately benefiting Democrats. Clay repeatedly urges listeners to vote in person to ensure their ballots are counted.

Hour 1 - Dems Are Political Insurgents

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers an in‑depth geopolitical breakdown of the escalating Iran conflict, expert analysis of the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and a lively mix of caller engagement and cultural commentary. The hour opens with national‑security expert Steve Yates, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explaining why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most strategically dangerous chokepoints in the world. Yates details how Iran’s geography, its control over key oil‑processing islands like Karg Island, and the narrow waterway’s global energy importance complicate any U.S. military response. He clarifies that while much of the oil shipped through the strait supplies China and India—not the U.S. directly—any disruption still pushes global prices upward because oil is a fungible commodity.
 
The hosts and Yates examine President Donald Trump’s evolving strategy toward Iran, including deadlines for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, targeted strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, and the possibility of limited U.S. troop movement—such as the deployment of elements of the 82nd Airborne—to support or execute rapid, high‑value operations. Yates explains the logic of Trump’s “sledgehammer diplomacy,” where overwhelming force is paired with opportunities for Iran to deescalate. The discussion also covers the likely endgame: preventing Iran’s nuclear capabilities, ensuring long‑term regional stability, empowering Gulf‑state partners, and identifying a credible post‑conflict governing figure within Iran.
 
Throughout the segment, Clay and Buck emphasize that Arab nations—including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar—are quietly encouraging the pressure campaign on Iran, undermining media narratives that the conflict is solely the result of U.S.–Israel coordination. Yates stresses that regional actors have long viewed Iran as a destabilizing force and are now publicly aligning against Tehran.
 
The hour then transitions into a lighter but highly engaging second half filled with callers inspired by the recent viral success of Linda from Arizona, whose idea to use ICE agents at airports became national policy. Callers from Memphis, South Carolina, Wyoming, and beyond pitch their own “save the Republic” ideas—ranging from eliminating daylight savings time to reshaping U.S. time zones entirely. Clay humorously evaluates concepts like the “30 Minutes in the Middle Initiative” and proposes a bold two‑time‑zone America split at the Mississippi River.
 
The conversation pivots into cultural territory as Clay and Buck debate dating‑app etiquette, height bias, “gun bunny” culture, and the social‑media dynamics shaping modern relationships. Their comedic back‑and‑forth explores whether gun photos belong in dating profiles, whether women discriminate more on height than men do on looks, and how online choice overload complicates modern matchmaking.
 
As the hour closes, Clay celebrates another milestone for Linda from Arizona: Jimmy Kimmel referenced her by name during his monologue, acknowledging that her idea made national headlines. Clay and Buck joke about waiting for “Light ’Em Up Linda” to call back in with a plan to solve the Middle East. The hosts end Hour 2 energized, blending foreign‑policy seriousness with humor, audience interaction, and the theme that everyday Americans can spark real national change.

Hour 2 - Iran Deep Dive

Hour 3 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show delivers a fast‑moving, news‑heavy mix of breaking geopolitical updates, major domestic policy developments, and powerful on‑the‑ground reporting from crisis points across the country. The hour opens with breaking news from Axios that the U.S. and regional partners are exploring high‑level peace talks with Iran, potentially as soon as Thursday—an unexpected diplomatic shift amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
 
Clay and Buck then welcome Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who offers a detailed look at Memphis’s historic collapse in violent crime, a result of President Donald Trump’s federal law‑enforcement surge. Blackburn explains how coordinated efforts across local police, federal agencies, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and newly confirmed federal officials have produced a 50% reduction in violent crime in under six months. The senator calls Memphis a national model—contrasting it sharply with Minneapolis and other Democrat‑run cities that have resisted federal assistance. She highlights thousands of arrests, the dismantling of gang networks, hundreds of recovered weapons and stolen cars, and over 150 missing children rescued.
 
The program shifts to the ongoing airport crisis created by the TSA funding shutdown, where ICE agents—deployed after a listener’s now‑famous idea—have dramatically improved screening efficiency. Clay and Buck play clips from Fox News and CNN showing astonishingly short lines at Atlanta’s airport, a night‑and‑day difference from the hours‑long waits plaguing travelers just days earlier. Senator Blackburn confirms that ICE’s presence is significantly easing congestion and reinforces that Congress continues working on public‑safety funding solutions.
 
Next, the hosts break down the swearing‑in of new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, confirmed 54–45, making him the first Cherokee Nation member to hold a Cabinet position. Clay jokes that he expected Trump to make an Elizabeth Warren comment, while Buck praises Mullin as a major leadership upgrade at DHS. Security and travel issues return to focus as Clay reports that Delta Airlines has suspended special travel privileges for members of Congress until TSA staff are funded—forcing lawmakers to stand in the same lines as the public. Clay and Buck strongly support this move, arguing that members of Congress should share the consequences of the shutdown they helped create.
 
Hour 3 also includes real‑time updates from President Trump, who declares that Iran’s military capabilities have been “wiped out,” that new Iranian negotiators have emerged, and that U.S. pressure has been overwhelmingly effective. Clay and Buck analyze these remarks’ strategic significance as negotiations continue. The remainder of the hour brings rapid‑fire listener talkbacks, including reactions to Linda’s influence on national policy, comedic riffs on Clay playing the flute, commentary on dating and online profiles, and questions about gas prices. The hosts also highlight ICE agents in Houston helping families with small children navigate long airport lines—countering media smears and showcasing the human side of ICE’s work.

Hour 3 - Think Like Linda

In this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down the growing concern surrounding “forever chemicals” — also known as PFAS — and their potential impact on long-term health, especially in children.
 
A new study tracking children from birth to age 12 reveals a troubling link between PFAS exposure and reduced bone density during critical developmental years. While the research is still emerging, it adds to a growing body of evidence connecting these chemicals to hormonal disruption, fertility issues, cardiovascular disease, and even neurodevelopmental changes.
 
Dr. Saphier explains where PFAS are found — from drinking water and non-stick cookware to food packaging and household products — and why they’re so difficult to avoid. More importantly, she outlines practical, realistic steps families can take right now to reduce exposure and protect their health.
 
This is an essential listen for parents, families, and anyone concerned about environmental toxins and their long-term effects.
 
In this episode:
 
 • What PFAS “forever chemicals” are and why they persist
 • The latest research linking PFAS to lower bone density in kids
 • How these chemicals impact hormones, growth, and overall health
 • Everyday sources of exposure you might not expect
 • Simple, actionable ways to reduce your family’s risk
 
Take control of your environment, your health, and your future — starting today!

Wellness Unmasked: Forever Chemicals & Your Kids: The Hidden PFAS Health Risks You Can’t Ignore

In this episode of Normally, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down the latest developments in the Iran conflict, including disputed negotiations, missile threats, and growing skepticism over Tehran’s claims. They explore the broader geopolitical implications and the ongoing debate over U.S. strategy.
 
The conversation then shifts to Cuba, where Western influencers and activists are criticized for romanticizing socialism while ignoring the harsh realities faced by the Cuban people. The hosts highlight the disconnect between ideology and lived experience, exposing the contradictions in modern political activism.
 
Finally, they dive into the cultural debate surrounding polyamory, analyzing recent memoirs and media narratives that attempt to normalize non-traditional relationships. With sharp commentary, they question whether these trends reflect genuine fulfillment—or a broader cultural unraveling.

Normally Podcast: Iran Escalation, Cuba’s Socialist Illusions & The Collapse of Polyamory Culture

TSA OOO 
 
Newly released TSA call‑out statistics showing staggering absentee rates—many surpassing 40%—at major airports including Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, BWI, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, LaGuardia, and JFK. With TSA agents unpaid and unable to cover basic living expenses, the hosts emphasize how the shutdown has created the worst airport conditions in recent memory and how Democrats' refusal to fund TSA workers is pushing the system toward total collapse.
 
That crisis sets the stage for one of the most remarkable developments in recent talk‑radio history: Linda from Green Valley, Arizona, whose idea—shared live on the show on Friday—to deploy ICE agents to assist overwhelmed TSA checkpoints has now become national policy. Clay and Buck recap how they shared her idea on air, Clay mentioned it on Fox News the same evening, and by Saturday morning President Donald Trump publicly announced that ICE agents were being sent to airports. By Monday, ICE officers were already deployed to 13 airports across the country. The hosts discuss how media outlets like CNN and reporters such as Brian Stelter have confirmed that no one had introduced this concept publicly before Linda’s call. Hour 2 revisits her original audio, analyzes why the idea resonated politically, and praises the administration’s speed in executing rapid operational changes.
 
ICE at Airports
 
The discussion then deepens into crime statistics and federal law‑enforcement success, particularly in cities where President Trump has surged resources. Clay highlights shocking new data from Washington, D.C.: murders down 65%, sexual assaults down 65%, and other major crime categories down double digits. Buck criticizes conservative media for not broadcasting these wins loudly enough, emphasizing that Trump’s crime‑reduction strategy—deploying federal agents, increasing fugitive task force operations, and intensifying firearm‑related prosecutions—has produced one of the most dramatic crime drops in American urban history. They argue this trend can be replicated in any Democrat‑run city willing to accept federal support, pointing to Memphis, which is simultaneously experiencing a 25‑year low in violent crime.
 
Listeners join the conversation, including callers offering support, humor, and policy refinement. Linda returns via talk‑back message to confirm that the idea was entirely her own, born from living near the southern border and understanding federal personnel capabilities. Buck states unequivocally that her idea was original and not circulating elsewhere online. Other callers debate airport operations, whether ICE deployment masks the Democrats’ failure to fund TSA, and whether Trump could unilaterally pay TSA agents under emergency authority.
The hosts also discuss the political implications of ICE’s new airport presence. They predict—and begin seeing evidence of—ICE making arrests at security checkpoints, which will trigger furious backlash from Democrats who oppose immigration enforcement. Clay argues that airports, with strict ID requirements and controlled access, may be ideal locations for ICE to identify and apprehend criminal illegal aliens.
 
Cuba Goes Dark, Again
 
The Trump administration has installed a 13‑foot statue of Christopher Columbus on White House grounds—a replica of the monument toppled in Baltimore during the 2020 George Floyd riots. Clay and Buck unpack why this symbolic move matters during America’s 250th anniversary, arguing it pushes back against the Left’s attempt to rewrite American and Western history. The conversation expands into debates about Western civilization, the failures of socialist regimes like Cuba (currently experiencing widespread blackouts), and the hypocrisy of climate‑change activists such as Greta Thunberg.
 
The hosts then deliver an extended discussion on historical truth, pushing back against revisionist narratives surrounding Native American societies, the Age of Exploration, and iconic figures like Columbus. They highlight the brutality that existed across pre‑modern civilizations, the global impact of Western exploration, and the Left’s selective outrage when choosing which historical figures to demonize or celebrate.
 
Linda Calls Back!
 
 A celebratory moment for one influential listener whose idea reached all the way to the White House. Linda from Green Valley, Arizona, whose idea to deploy ICE agents to assist overwhelmed TSA checkpoints rapidly became national policy. Clay and Buck replay Linda’s original call, interview her live, and describe how her idea spread from the show to Fox News to the White House within 24 hours. ICE agents are now operating at 13 airports nationwide, and even mainstream outlets like CNN and MSNBC have made the story their lead headline. Linda’s grandchildren, her husband’s Marine service, and her pride in national security all become part of a heartfelt segment about citizen‑driven impact on government policy.

Daily Review with Clay and Buck - Mar 23 2026

Hour 1 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show opens with an urgent breakdown of the nationwide travel meltdown caused by the ongoing TSA staffing and pay crisis, with airport lines stretching up to four hours in major cities such as Atlanta, Houston, and New York. Clay and Buck emphasize the severity of the situation, noting that unpaid TSA agents are calling out, passengers are missing flights, and spring‑break travelers are enduring chaos created entirely by political standoffs in Washington. They highlight how Democrats’ refusal to fund Homeland Security—triggered by the Minneapolis ICE confrontation—has left TSA agents working without pay, while ICE agents remain fully funded.
 
This leads into the hour’s central storyline: the explosive rise of a caller‑generated policy idea that reached the White House within hours. Clay recounts how a listener named Linda from Green Valley, Arizona suggested deploying paid ICE agents to airports to supplement TSA staff. The idea quickly gained traction—Clay discussed it on Fox News that same evening—and by the next morning, President Trump announced ICE agents would be deployed at 13 airports to alleviate the crisis. The hosts marvel at how a single caller’s idea moved from the show to national policy overnight, sparking media attention from CNN and others. President Trump himself publicly said the plan was “his idea,” while Clay and Buck credit Linda for originating what may become a transformative approach to airport security during shutdowns.
 
The hour continues with analysis of how ICE support at airports would work in practice. Former ICE Director Tom Homan explains that ICE officers would not run X‑ray machines but would handle peripheral security roles—monitoring exits, verifying access points, and freeing TSA staff to expedite screening. Clay and Buck dismantle Democratic claims that ICE agents are unqualified or dangerous, highlighting Hakeem Jeffries’ alarmist rhetoric and pointing out that ICE officers are trained federal law‑enforcement professionals who routinely handle much higher‑risk operations than airport perimeter duties.
 
The conversation then expands into the broader political battle over immigration, ICE, and border enforcement, with Buck describing Democrats as prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens, fostering crime through lax enforcement, and weaponizing shutdowns for political leverage. Clay emphasizes that airports—with strict ID requirements, controlled environments, and federal jurisdiction—may be among the most effective locations for apprehending criminal illegal immigrants, something Democrats fear politically.
 
Mid‑hour, the hosts update listeners on major breaking geopolitical news: President Trump has announced promising progress in U.S.–Iran discussions, causing global oil prices to drop sharply from the mid‑$90 range back into the $80s. Clay notes Iran’s conflicting statements about negotiations, ongoing confusion over who controls Iran’s leadership structure, and Trump’s declaration that the U.S. will “keep bombing our little hearts out” if talks fail.
 
The segment shifts briefly into economics, stock‑market movement, and why energy prices react instantly to diplomatic signals. Clay and Buck also touch on Trump’s upcoming trip to Memphis to spotlight the city’s dramatic 25‑year low in violent crime, paralleling broader national declines in homicide and major felonies.
 
The final portion of Hour 1 returns to caller interactions and the cultural dynamics around ICE enforcement. A caller recommends renaming the agency “NICE”—National Immigration and Customs Enforcement—to force Democrats into praising “NICE agents.” Clay closes with a stark reminder that activists blocking ICE arrests (including those of child‑sex‑crime suspects) are undermining public safety and should face prosecution for obstructing federal law enforcement.

Hour 1 - Well Done, Linda

Hour 2 of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show continues the breaking‑news momentum surrounding the nationwide TSA crisis and the unprecedented federal response that originated from a listener’s phone call. Clay opens the hour with newly released TSA call‑out statistics showing staggering absentee rates—many surpassing 40%—at major airports including Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, BWI, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, LaGuardia, and JFK. With TSA agents unpaid and unable to cover basic living expenses, the hosts emphasize how the shutdown has created the worst airport conditions in recent memory and how Democrats' refusal to fund TSA workers is pushing the system toward total collapse.
 
That crisis sets the stage for one of the most remarkable developments in recent talk‑radio history: Linda from Green Valley, Arizona, whose idea—shared live on the show on Friday—to deploy ICE agents to assist overwhelmed TSA checkpoints has now become national policy. Clay and Buck recap how they shared her idea on air, Clay mentioned it on Fox News the same evening, and by Saturday morning President Donald Trump publicly announced that ICE agents were being sent to airports. By Monday, ICE officers were already deployed to 13 airports across the country. The hosts discuss how media outlets like CNN and reporters such as Brian Stelter have confirmed that no one had introduced this concept publicly before Linda’s call. Hour 2 revisits her original audio, analyzes why the idea resonated politically, and praises the administration’s speed in executing rapid operational changes.
 
The discussion then deepens into crime statistics and federal law‑enforcement success, particularly in cities where President Trump has surged resources. Clay highlights shocking new data from Washington, D.C.: murders down 65%, sexual assaults down 65%, and other major crime categories down double digits. Buck criticizes conservative media for not broadcasting these wins loudly enough, emphasizing that Trump’s crime‑reduction strategy—deploying federal agents, increasing fugitive task force operations, and intensifying firearm‑related prosecutions—has produced one of the most dramatic crime drops in American urban history. They argue this trend can be replicated in any Democrat‑run city willing to accept federal support, pointing to Memphis, which is simultaneously experiencing a 25‑year low in violent crime.

They predict—and begin seeing evidence of—ICE making arrests at security checkpoints, which will trigger furious backlash from Democrats who oppose immigration enforcement. Clay argues that airports, with strict ID requirements and controlled access, may be ideal locations for ICE to identify and apprehend criminal illegal aliens.
 
Hour 2 also covers President Trump’s optimistic comments about negotiations with Iran, which caused oil prices to dip sharply. The hosts note confusion within Iran’s leadership structure and highlight that Trump is simultaneously addressing foreign conflict and domestic security crises, even while traveling to Memphis to spotlight the city’s historic crime reductions.
The hour closes with more caller reactions—including a humorous suggestion to rename ICE as “NICE”—and reinforcement of the show’s central theme: Trump solves problems while Democrats manufacture them. The ICE‑at‑airports plan demonstrates that creative ideas, even from everyday Americans, can shape national policy when leaders remain responsive.

Robert breaks down the hidden historical blueprint behind modern ideological capture — from early collectivist movements and Prussian education models, to teachers colleges, federal bureaucracy, and the modern classroom.
 
This isn’t just theory. Robert argues today’s public school system isn’t “broken” — it’s wildly successful at producing the outcomes it was designed for.
