The Steve Gruber Show

Joining is James Lynch, news writer for National Review and former reporter for the Daily Caller. Based in Washington, D.C., James has been covering the education battles up close, and he says one thing is clear: school choice is here to stay. From charter schools to education savings accounts, parents are demanding the power to decide what’s best for their children’s future. Despite pushback from teachers’ unions and the left, momentum is only growing as families flee failing public schools and embrace educational freedom. James breaks down why this movement is unstoppable, what it means for parents across America, and how it’s reshaping the future of education.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — A group of Democratic governors is criticizing the Trump administration's efforts to deploy National Guard troops in major cities.  In a joint statement Thursday, 19 governors called the efforts an alarming abuse of power.  They claim Trump has cut funding for law enforcement and undermined the authority of governors over their states' National Guards. 

 

Two ---  Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is filing a lawsuit after President Trump's attempt to fire her.  The suit is the start of a legal battle between the two sides that will likely end up in front of the Supreme Court.  It follows a Justice Department criminal investigation into the board governor after she was accused of making false statements on home mortgage applications. 

 
And number three ---  Today marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. It was one of the costliest and deadliest storms ever to strike the United States.

We’re joined by Dr. Karl Benzio, Chief Psychiatric Officer at Honey Lake Clinic and Medical Director at the American Association of Christian Counselors. With his decades of experience in psychiatry and addiction treatment, Dr. Benzio is raising the alarm on a growing problem, the explosion of sports betting in America. As states rush to legalize and profit from gambling, he warns this may turn into the next opioid-level crisis, leaving families shattered and lives destroyed. Dr. Benzio will break down why the addictive pull of sports betting is so dangerous, what patterns he’s already seeing, and how America must respond before it spirals out of control.

Joining us is Congressman Tim Walberg, who represents Michigan’s Fifth Congressional District and serves on both the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Education and the Workforce Committee. Today, he’s weighing in on the GOP’s expanding investigations into antisemitism at UCLA and UCSF medical schools. With growing concerns about bias and hostility on college campuses, Rep. Walberg will explain why these probes are necessary, how Congress is addressing antisemitism in higher education, and what steps need to be taken to ensure accountability and protect Jewish students.

Joining the show is Timothy K. Minella, senior fellow at the Goldwater Institute's Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy. Timothy is here to clear the air on a critical issue: Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Accounts. The Washington Post recently launched what can only be described as a hit piece, twisting the facts and attacking school choice. Timothy will break down what’s really happening, why the Post got it wrong, and why ESAs remain one of the most powerful tools for parents who want real options in their children’s education.
