President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to officially start shutting down the Department of Education. The thing is... he can't do that, at least not unilaterally. Shutting down the Education Department will require an act of Congress. But the Trump administration has already done a pretty thorough job of gutting the department from the inside, cutting the DOE's staff in half earlier this month. Arne Duncan, who served as education secretary under President Barack Obama, talks about the potential catastrophes on the horizon.And in headlines: Maryland Congressman Glenn Ivey became the first sitting Democrat to call on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, a federal judge blocked the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing personal information on the Social Security Administration's data systems, and the United Kingdom and Germany issued travel warnings for the U.S.Show Notes:Check out Arne's work with gun violence –chicagocred.org/team/arne-duncan/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Arne brings a wealth of experience from his time at Chicago Public Schools and the Obama Administration, offering unique perspectives on what officials at local, state, and federal levels are missing in our education system.

Known for successfully bridging political divides, Arne encourages us to see education as a nation-building goal. He also shares his best advice for new educators and extends a heartfelt thank you to those leading the future of our democracy in the classroom.

Several of Phil Jackson's players have called him a racist for years. But after hearing his recent comments, in conjunction with his decades of comments and beliefs, is being exposed for the fraud that he is. And he's getting a pass. And that is not okay. Phil is basically telling people to shut tf up and dribble and keep politics out of it. And many of you are going to ask the question, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that is that we should all, especially white people do anything and everything no matter the venue to fight against the machine, social injustice and police brutality. It's insulting to every black and brown American who has died, fighting for equality. Not only is he not a Zen Master, he's wrong about keeping politics out of sports. If anything, it's the perfect landing spot to raise awareness and to mobilize. The good news is that for every Racist Phil Jackson, there's an Arne Duncan and many more, especially those that are a part of the Gen. Z, Cuspers, and Millenial posse (I purposely used that word, Phil) who will fight for what's right. I only wish I heard more from the white influencers when things like this happen like the Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Larry Bird, and anyone in this space who could leverage their white privilege and platform to be a powerful and transformational bridge and vessel. We need more white people to speak up and dribble, speak up and pitch, speak up and shoot, and speak up and hit. #blm #blacklivesmatter --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-deli/support

Voters in Chicago are choosing between two candidates for mayor, and two very different wings of the Democratic Party.

And former education secretary Arne Duncan explains how the city is failing many of its children, and what the new mayor will need to do to help.

In this conversation recorded for Washington Post Live on March 27, renowned playwright Anna Deavere Smith and former education secretary and creator of Chicago CRED Arne Duncan discuss their new opera, “The Walkers,” which explores Chicago CRED's engagement and collaboration with people throughout the city most at risk of gun violence.

On today's pod we discuss the alleged reasoning behind Chicago CRED's founder & leader Arne Duncan's endorsement of Paul Vallas for mayor. Later we also discuss the Chicago Tribune's editorial comparing Donald Trump & Jussie Smollett. We know about Duncan's endorsement because Duncan authored an OpEd in the Chicago Tribune announcing it. While we are not going to judge the endorsement itself other than to say we believe nonprofit leaders are and should be barred from engaging in any type of political involvement including endorsements. This is why we find what Duncan has done and the method he has done it to be completely distasteful but inline with his Chicago machine roots. The outrageous and completely unbelievable reasoning behind this endorsement is that Duncan says because Paul Vallas has a wife who is former police officer and that his son is a current officer makes him the perfect person to make the Fraternal Order of Police, the main police union in Chicago, swallow reforms. If you are thinking this is totally bat shit crazy you are not alone. This would require Duncan to be so naive that the alt right extremist FOP leadership did not have a conversation with Vallas about reversing reforms already put in to place and limiting whatever he might bring forward during his administration. The FOP leadership is awful & full of hatred but they are not that dumb. That conversation definitely took place. Duncan knows this but used this bull shit reasoning anyways. The weird thing is Chicago CRED's reforms that they support as an organization are very aligned with Brandon Johnson's stated reform goals. They are also very far from the unleash the police rhetoric of Vallas. Also on the show today we discuss a really bad OpEd by the Tribune's Editorial Board comparing Donald Trump to Jussie Smollett. While they are aligned in that they are both proven liars there is nothing else that connects them. However, in the OpEd itself the Tribune reveals the real reason they have pushed so hard for Smollett to be put in prison and it is pretty ridiculous for the small government hypocrites.

Brenda Wensil and Kathryn Heath are Executive Coaches who have spent decades coaching more than 800 women and working with Women Executives, Middle Managers, and Professionals across industries and age groups. They are the co-authors of ‘I Wish I'd Known This: 6 Career-Accelerating Secrets for Women Leaders'. Brenda and Kathryn offer their thoughts on navigating self-doubt in the world of Business Leadership. They share common reasons women feel “held back” from maximizing their potential. They also talk about how to prioritize goals, build a powerful support network, and weed out distractions which lead you away from achieving what you truly desire in your career. Driven by the belief that more Female Leaders equals a better world, Brenda and Kathryn explain, that many women are held back from unlocking their potential because of their own limiting beliefs. By simply changing the story you tell yourself, you completely transform the way you show up at work and in all your relationships, personal and professional. Brenda and Kathryn also speak on the value of your reputation or personal brand, no matter your role in an organization. As a Leader, how you are seen by your teammates and clients is fundamental to your success. They encourage women to simply ask around to get feedback on their strengths and gaps as others see them, and to be ready and willing to adjust how they work and interact with others, if unsatisfied with the answers they hear. Another key to maximizing your reputation is by combining your personal power, or who you are as a person, with your position power as a professional. Brenda and Kathryn ultimately remind us, that Leadership is a skill, and that deliberate goal-setting and consistent, disciplined practice are essential to growing that skill.  This podcast is sponsored by InnerProfessional online training programs. With courses geared specifically for Legendary Leaders, InnerProfessional provides an extraordinary catalog of leadership and professional development programs unlike any online training you've experienced before.   Key Takeaways:  Success in any endeavour starts with “staking yourself out”: getting clear on what you want to accomplish and the type of person you want to become in the process. It's a mistake to go at it alone. Create a support system for yourself as early as possible so you can go further in your career than you ever could by yourself. Leadership is a skill, which means yours can be developed with the right goal and strategy. Great careers are built on strengths. When you know what you're good at, you possess the keys to your professional success.    Episode Timeline:  [05:02] Introduction to Brenda Wensil & Kathryn Heath.  [13:20] How the world can become a better place with more Women Leaders.  [18:04] Finding your voice and staking yourself out.

They just kind of drift.”  “Leadership is a skill, and you can grow it.”  “How do you leverage your platform—your position power—and combine that with who you are as a person—your personal power—and see yourself as an important colleague to your peer group?”  “Women are great at strategic planning for their company, but they have to be the CEO of their career.”      Connect:   Find | Brenda Wensil    Business Website: https://www.bravanti.com   On LinkedIn: @BrendaWensil    Bio: Brenda Wensil is Managing Director & Practice Leader of Bravanti's Leadership Acceleration practice.

Interview with Arne Duncan, Former Secretary of Education --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/innovationalliance/message

Former US Secretary of Education and CEO of Chicago Public Schools Arne Duncan now spends his days focused on stopping gun violence in his hometown of Chicago through his organization, Chicago CRED. Curtis Toler, the organization's director of outreach, grew up surrounded by violence and was a gang leader before joining CRED, where he works to stop violence throughout the city and build relationships with at-risk young people. Arne and Curtis joined David to talk about the challenges facing many young Chicagoans and the daily trauma they experience, the lack of Congressional action on gun safety, policing in Chicago, the impact of Covid-19 and George Floyd's murder in the communities they serve, and why Arne decided against running for mayor.

Ben finally gets around to watching the HBO documentary about the great George Carlin. Well, the first half anyway. And now he can't stop talking about it. And Peter Cunningham--political speechwriter and great thinker--returns to talk crime & backlash. As usual, he's a voice of logic in a world driven crazy by law `n order rhetoric. Under Peter's withering cross-examination, Ben has to sort of apologize to Arne Duncan. And much more...

Remarkable allies, Duncan, the former US Secretary of Education founded the nonprofit Chicago CRED and works closely with Toler, Director of Outreach and a former Chicago gang leader, in an attempt to rewrite the story of gun violence in Chicago.

Why is it that when Chicago does the right thing, it's generally for the wrong reason? Ben ponders that question. And then Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor makes her long-awaited return. And not a moment too soon. The conversation moves from Republicans attitude toward Black women to the war on crime to Arne Duncan to Lori Lightfoot to what people in Aurora say about Richard Irvin to a whole bunch of other things.

John Kass joined Tom for the show tonight. They discussed Ukraine and the Biden Administration's reaction to the invasion. Arne Duncan pulled out of the Chicago Mayoral Race. Jussie Smollett's sentencing came down and Kass gave his thoughts on it. Also, is there a way Kim Foxx can be recalled?

Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education and ex-CEO of Chicago Public Schools, joins John to talk about his decision to not run for mayor of Chicago and why he’s focused on his mission at Chicago CRED.

Dems want to pretend Michael Madigan never existed. Ben riffs. Alderman David Moore returns to discuss his candidacy to replace Jesse White as Secretary of State. He's the only candidate in the race who openly declares he's not using the office as a stepping stone to higher office. He lays out his agenda. And Peter "PC" Cunningham, the brains behind Daley, Duncan & Rahm returns to talk why Arne Duncan is not running for mayor. Why it's hard to have a legitimate conversation about crime. Police retirement. Defund police. And this observation--"Culture drives politics, politics drives policy."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week's guest is Austan Goolsbee, a former economic advisor to President Barack Obama, a frequent contributor to the New York Times, and currently the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. As the pandemic has surged, Goolsbee's been keeping a close eye on the major questions confronting our economic future: inflation, supply chain and the future of work. We recorded on the afternoon of Jan. 14, when Chicago and Illinois seemed to be showing a dip in COVID cases, but already, the economic signs for January were pointing downward. Goolsbee says the severity of any economic turndown – like it has during the entire pandemic – will rely on our handling of the virus itself. He discussed whether pandemic changes – like remote work, the great resignation, and a reconsideration of a just-in-time global supply chain – might stick. He also explored whether federal relief is acting like it should, and whether the Build Back Better bill is necessary to cushion the blow from future crises. Goolsbee also talked about what kind of Chicago mayor his neighbor Arne Duncan would make. And Goolsbee explains why he believes cities will recover post-pandemic… if crime can be brought under control.

During this conversation, former Secretary Duncan discusses his thoughts on how the pandemic has offered a “reset” opportunity for how we educate students, sharing insights on how we should be learning from a holistic standpoint beyond curriculum, and how best to incorporate DE&I practices into your company. Arne Duncan is the former U.S. Secretary of Education under President Obama and current Managing Partner of Emerson Collective. He is the author of the book "How Schools Work: An Inside Account of Failure and Success from One of the Nation's Longest-Serving Secretaries of Education", as well as a former college basketball athlete at Harvard University. The former Secretary uses lessons from his past collegiate experience to drive his professional and personal decisions.

Fareed talks to Joanne Lipman, former Editor-in-Chief of USA Today, on how the pandemic has made us rethink the workplace and our work-life balance. Then, former U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, tells Fareed how the transition to digital school came with a big learning curve for students, teachers, and parents alike and what can be done to improve the future of education. In the Spring of 2020, many thought cities would be yet another victim of the pandemic, but University of Toronto Professor Richard Florida says cities are here to stay – they just need to evolve. Lastly, Zanny Minton Beddoes, the editor-in-chief of The Economist, discusses the post-pandemic economy and what it will look like for people, for corporations and for nations.

The U.S. is on track for topping 1,000 daily coronavirus deaths for the 4th straight day. In the last week President Trump canceled the Republican National Convention activities in Jacksonville, Florida, encouraged Americans to wear masks and changed his tone on the severity of the deadly virus. White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx said California, Florida, Arizona and Texas seem to be plateauing after weeks of surging cases and deaths. Dr. Joseph Donnelly is an emergency room physician in El Paso, Texas and has been treating Covid-19 patients throughout the pandemic. He joins AC360 to describe his experiences and says this virus is nothing like the flu. Plus, the CDC recently released new guidance to help schools reopen in the fall. Trump said he would be “comfortable” with his son and grandchildren returning to school for in-person learning. Arne Duncan, former Education Secretary for the Obama administration tells AC360 if we “had a White House that led, had a national plan, we wouldn’t be jeopardizing our children’s chance to go back to school in the next couple weeks.” Airdate: July 24, 2020 Guests: Dr. Joseph Donnelly Arne DuncanTo learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

President Trump says he has a very good relationship with White House Task Force Member Dr. Anthony Fauci despite the White House attempting to discredit the nation’s top infectious disease expert. Dr. Fauci has been increasingly vocal about his concerns over reopening the country while there’s a surge of coronavirus cases in some states. Peter Staley, an AIDS activist and a member of the Covid-19 Working Group of New York, has worked with Dr. Fauci for decades and has been talking to him throughout the pandemic. He tells Anderson Cooper Dr. Fauci is “deeply frustrated” and just wants to fight the virus and save lives. Plus, the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the country, announced they will start the school year online only, despite the President and his administration pushing for schools to reopen. Arne Duncan, former Education Secretary in the Obama Administration, joins Anderson Cooper and says superintendents ultimately have the power to make the decisions that are best for their schools, not the governors or the President.
