It seems almost every  big culture-war battle of the moment—from "Critical Race Theory" to COVID mandates—is being fought in America's schools. Meanwhile, Democrats, anxious about a midterm rout driven by angry Republican parents, too often are conceding these battles to the right, adopting their rhetoric and their terms of debate, and have been for a long time—despite supposedly being the party of teachers' unions.  Does it have to be this way? 

We put that question, and many more, to our guest Jennifer Berkshire, the coauthor (with Jack Schneider) of A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door and co-host of the education podcast Have You Heard.  Jennifer guides us through the recent history of conservatives' war on public education—fights over desegregation, the Reagan administration's A Nation at Risk, the "parents' rights" movement of the 1990s, Obama-era ed reform, and the CRT gag-orders sweeping the nation today. Along the way we tease out some illuminating contradictions in the right's nationalist coalition, which  seeks to cultivate a shared, sanitized story about American history while simultaneously dismantling the only system by which that narrative can be imposed. We also cast a critical eye on the triangulating, moderate Democrats who have utterly failed to provide a galvanizing, alternative message about the purpose of public education. As Jennifer makes brilliantly clear, the crisis of American education is real; the question is, who will be empowered to solve it?

Ken Fong and Ken Kemp review Fong's powerful conversation with Dr. Russell Jeung, named one of the Top 100 Global Influencers by TIME Magazine. Dr. Jeung is co-founder of Stop AAPI-HATE (Asian American hate). Conservative author, Jennifer Rubin's Washington Post article suggests that Evangelicals can never get what they really want. The recent Virginia election (Republican Youngkin defeats Democrat McAuliffe) brings the great divide into sharp focus. The two call up "dispensationalism" as a long-time filter for Biblical interpretation and "Biblical World-View."  The "Lost Cause" narrative drives much to this agenda. If this is all a failure of "discipleship" or "catechism" then what sort of discipleship would have made a difference? Replacement theory drives much of the fear of the loss of power.

Obwohl die Zwischenwahlen, oder Midterm Elections, noch ein Jahr entfernt sind, entwickeln Demokraten und Republikaner ihre Strategien auf der Grundlage der Erfahrungen aus den Gouverneurs- und Bürgermeisterwahlen der vergangenen Woche. Von Virginia über New Jersey bis zum Bundesstaat Washington setzen Strategen die Bildung von Kindern ganz oben auf ihre Agenda, finden heraus, wie man Impfvorschriften durchsetzt, ohne die persönlichen Freiheiten einzuschränken, und lernen, wie man im Schatten von Trump Wahlkampf macht.

More good news on today’s Breitbart News Daily podcast. Pres. Joe Biden thinks the lesson from Tuesday’s red wave is that he must pass a big government agenda. Many of his colleagues continue to claim they are victims of white supremacy, despite the diverse slate of Republicans elected. Alex breaks down the laughable conclusions drawn by the left-wing establishment. Plus, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) makes a bold move to make his state the forefront of the voter integrity movement. Then, JD Vance, best-selling author ('Hillbilly Elegy') and U.S. Senate candidate from Ohio, joins the podcast.

A red wave in a blue state as the GOP sweeps Virginia. Can Jack hold on in Jersey? The media meltdown over progressive left losses. Biden falls asleep, whispers and stumbles on the world stage. The CDC wants to jab your 5-11 year old despite a ton of evidence that says not to.

Today on the Breitbart News Daily podcast - a red wave sweeps across the Republic! A big win for Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin, a star is born in Lt. Gov.-elect Winsome Sears and surprise victories for the GOP across the nation. It was very painful night for the Brandon administration, the Democrat establishment, the trans agenda, the teachers' unions, the CRT race hustlers, the Lincoln Project and especially the "Defund the Police" movement. And there's still a close governor's race in New Jersey - who knew?! Meanwhile, a defeated Pres. Joe Biden arrived back in the U.S. after polluting the planet and catching some Z's on his failed climate change adventure to Europe. Newly named Breitbart politics editor and Hunter Biden "Laptop from Hell" scoopster, Emma-Jo Morris, joins the show.

Election day is here! Alex handicaps the Virginia governor’s race and breaks down the closing arguments from both Terry McAulife and Glenn Youngkin. From there, he discusses the latest setback to Pres. Biden's "Build Back Better" agenda: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has realized he's now being held hostage by his party's far-left contingent. And while climate change might be an "existential threat" to the entire world, the situation apparently isn't dire enough to keep Pres. Biden awake at the latest climate summit (COP26) in Scotland - Alex gives his thoughts on "Sleepy Joe's" epic nap. Then, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joins the program and weighs in on the Virginia governor's race, the China threat, COP26, the media's efforts to pit him against Pres. Donald Trump, and how legal redistricting can build a new, durable Republican majority.

Alex gives his take on Pres. Biden's climate change trip overseas and his meeting with Pope Francis. He then goes into the soaring gas prices across America and how they're affecting the American worker. And then, Alex previews the final hours before the election in Virginia for governor between Glenn Youngkin and Terry McAuliffe. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is our highlighted interview and he covers his interaction with the Attorney General last week calling for him to resign. And finally, our caller of the day - Felix from Indiana - tells us how he teaches his kids about taxes through Halloween candy.

How Glenn Youngkin could become the education governor we need?

On Tuesday next week, Virginia voters will be selecting their next governor.

They’ll be choosing between Clinton-era Democrat and former governor Terry McAuliffe, and the Republican nominee—Glenn Youngkin, a very successful businessman.

If Youngkin wins—and I believe he will—it will be as a result of the issue of education, which has become the central issue of the Virginia’s governor’s campaign.

McAuliffe struck a nerve with Virginia voters when—in their final debate—he told Youngkin what he actually really believes:

 “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach” 

Youngkin was right to press back immediately—and press back hard.

Youngkin has promised to return parents to a place of authority over their kids’ education. He could become the “education governor,” serving as a model for other governors across the nation—he’s promising to do that.

All the momentum is with Youngkin, but Virginia voters … of course … will decide.

They should not take anything for granted. They should get out there and vote!
