The American Federation of Teachers President, Randi Weingarten, unveiled new national framework plans for regulating the use of screens/devices and Artificial Intelligence in public schools.

FOX News's Tonya Powers reports on new academic technology initiatives (and restrictions) proposed by American Federation of Teachers union president Randi Weingarten.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.  Brad is first joined by Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The two discuss black Americans being stripped of their political power following the recent Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court ruling. President Weingarten also previews a ten-point speech she'll be giving on how to properly educate our children in the age of AI.  She describes how teachers are seeing the 'muscle of learning' atrophying, and how we need to respond by changing education so that we're building active learning. She also shares how instead of leading this charge, Trump's Department of Education is instead busy undermining civil rights. Finally, she and Brad discuss a huge issue on the minds of the American people as they head to November's midterm elections, affordability.  She shares what could be done to change the U.S. tax code to help with this issue. Then, Brad is joined by CNN Military Analyst Col. Cedric Leighton (USAF-Ret.). The pair talks about President Trump's recent trip to China, and his refusal to commit to defending Taiwan if China attacked them. Next, they shift the conversation to the Iran war.  Col. Leighton highlights how President Trump failed to articulate why he was sending our nation to war with Iran. The President also never sought the authorization to use military force from Congress, or even notified the 'gang of eight' before launching military strikes with Israel against Iran. Finally, Col. Leighton updates the audience on Ukraine's recent success in penetrating Russia's missile defense system in a way that hadn't yet been done in the war. Randi Weingarten is president of the 1.8 million-member AFT, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy.

On Friday, May 01, 2026, Hudson Mohawk Magazine Network Roaming Labor Correspondent Willie Terry attended the Capital District Area Labor Federation "May Day Solidarity Event" at West Capitol Park in Albany, NY. In this labor segment, Willie recorded excerpts from speakers at the rally and interviewed Shana Davis, Civil Service Employees Association Region 4 President; Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers; and Seth Cohen, President of the Capital District Area Labor Federation. The theme of the 2026 May Day rally was "Workers over Billionaires."

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, returns to discuss their support of the upcoming May Day Strong actions this weekend and share her thoughts about the Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tavis-smiley--6286410/support.

The illusion of a "secure election" has finally crumbled, replaced by the chilling reality of a coordinated "Partner Update" between CISA, Big Tech, and partisan gatekeepers. While the mainstream media peddled a narrative of unassailable integrity, a shadow cabal was working in real-time to ensure the outcome was never left to the American people. We dive deep into the unmasked election day machinery, featuring the explosive insights of Sheriff Bianco on why law enforcement is being systemically blocked from investigating fraud. From the infiltration of our government to the "fortress of lies" built to protect selected leaders, we expose the design behind the chaos, a bipartisan betrayal intended to keep the American public divided and ignored.Patrick is calling out the evil around every corner, focusing on the calculated indoctrination of the next generation. From the Chicago Teachers Union labeling political opponents as "fascists" in kindergarten curricula to Randi Weingarten's disturbing WEF directives on "teaching children how to think," the war for the American mind is being fought in the classroom. We wrap by exposing the pure contempt of the Uniparty from Senator John Cornyn's quiet push for amnesty to the secret cabals in NYC wasting taxpayer billions behind closed doors. They aren't just ignoring you; they are mocking you. It's time to speak the truths that the establishment is too afraid to even write down.

That teachers' unions are more interested in radical leftist political power than student achievement is increasingly recognized, and today's guest brings two new pieces of evidence to pile on the scales. First, AFT president Randi Weingarten, the under-recognized villain of the COVID-19 pandemic, announced to a videoconference of radical-left activists that she was leveraging teachers' pensions against Target to get the company to denounce immigration enforcement. Then, we dive deeply into Union del Barrio, a radical anti-immigration-enforcement group that may take control of Los Angeles's teachers union. Stu Smith of the Manhattan Institute, who surfaced the Weingarten clip and recently wrote on UdB, joins us to discuss.Meet the Radicals Running to Lead the Los Angeles Teachers' UnionMeet the radicals who ran to lead LA's teachers union, Unión del Barrio and its offshoots.Randi Weingarten's Fight With Target Isn't Remotely About Education

Why can Josh Shapiro no longer point the finger when it comes to school choice? 120 - What are the state police doing, shooing away from surveyors away from land that isn't his?

How did the cello make their way into the performance? 1250 - Your calls. 1 - School Choice Evangelist, Corey DeAngelis, join us this afternoon.

HRP is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3), and the views expressed by our guests are their own and do not constitute an endorsement.“Who's the most dangerous person in the world? Is it Chairman Kim, is it Xi Jinping?” The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It's not a close call.” At least, that's what Mike Pompeo, the former CIA Director and former US Secretary of State, told a reporter in 2022.Three years later, Randi Weingarten's rebuttal takes the form of a book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy, in which the long-time President of the American Federation of Teachers, representing nearly 2 million members, mounts a defense of democracy, teachers, and our public schools, arguing that “Public schools are laboratories of civil society and, at their best, embody the multifaith, multiracial coexistence that is our nation's best future…Fascists fear teachers because education is essential to democracy.”At its core are conjoined and fundamental questions I think we took for granted, until recently, as settled consensus in the United States of America: What is democracy? What is the role of public schools in a pluralistic democratic nation, and why are both worth keeping?To help us answer these questions and understand why fascists fear teachers is none other than AFT President, Randi Weingarten.Why Fascists Fear Teachers (AFT website)

Randi Weingarten's new book is a love letter to public school educators and an expose of the well-funded campaign behind attacks on teachers and the war on knowledge.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is no stranger to President Donald Trump's tariff-forward trade agenda. Greer served as chief of staff to Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. Trade Representative in Trump's first administration. But now, it's Greer who's at the helm of the president's tariff implementation strategy — one that has drawn both criticism and praise from surprising places.  “I've also had members of Congress come to me, people who maybe weren't fans of tariffs two years ago, and they said, ‘This is actually real money that's coming in that can be used to pay down the debt or pay for other things or finance our reindustrialization,” Greer said. In this week's episode of The Conversation, Ambassador Greer sits down with POLITICO's Dasha Burns to explain why trade policy defies political labels, the particulars of how deals are shaping up globally and the strategy behind reconfiguring seven decades' worth of international policy.  Plus, Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, joins Dasha to explain how the battle for school funding continues to unfold, the intrinsic relationship between education and democracy and why the well-being of students should be at the top of the president's mind.

We are joined by Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, to discuss her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy.” In the book, Weingarten details how there has been a systematic demonization of teachers and public education in America. She argues that one of the pillars of public education is critical thinking, which prevents fascism from flourishing in society - so fascists (and wannabe fascists) hate it. We explore a variety of topics facing schoolchildren and their parents today, including charter schools, artificial intelligence, phones in schools, and the treatment of LGBTQ+ students. We also discuss Trump's proposed elimination of the Department of Education, attacks on teachers unions, and how we may have kept the schools closed for too long during Covid-19.

Maloney says Kirk was a “great man” and a “great messenger.” 4:30pm- Corey DeAngelis— Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project & Author of the book, “The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools.”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the title of President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten's new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers.” Why is Weingarten ratcheting up the vitriolic political rhetoric less than one week after Charlie Kirk was murdered for his beliefs? Plus, DeAngelis reacts to Weingarten baselessly calling him “weird” and a “stalker” simply for advocating for school choice. She also accuses DeAngelis of being “obsessed.” He hilariously responds: “No, Randi Weingarten! I don't want to date you!!” 4:50pm- On Monday, October 13th at 7:30pm—Rich will host New York Times best-selling author Jack Carr at the Zlock Performing Arts Center (at Bucks County Community College) in Newtown, PA.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/17/2025): 3:05pm- Krasner Ramps Up Vitriolic Language. During a town hall event on Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said of Republicans: “fascists are going to be fascist” and abhorrently accused the party of not believing in racial or gender equality. While other public officials have turned down the heated rhetoric following the murder of Charlie Kirk, Krasner seems to be embarrassing venomous, purposefully divisive language. 3:30pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her two concerning Secret Service reports for Real Clear Politics, “Secret Service Faces New Scrutiny After Agent Cheers Charlie Kirk's Murder” and “Secret Service Missed Glock in Bag at Trump Golf Course.” You can find them here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/authors/susan_crabtree/. 4:05pm- Cliff Maloney—Citizens Alliance CEO & PA CHASE Founder—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the loss of his friend Charlie Kirk.

Gray stated: “The defendant is believed to have targeted Charlie Kirk based on Charlie Kirk's political expression and did so knowing that children were present and would witness the homicide." 5:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I'm not afraid of you!” 5:50pm- Congresswoman Lucy McBath (D-GA) accused FBI Director Kash Patel of making the U.S. less safe under his leadership. Patel rejected her accusation, destroying her claims with facts: “If we're failing...how are we arresting 23,000 violent felons? 2x as many as this time last year. How are we seizing 1,500 kg of meth, 25% increase from last year. We captured four top ten FBI most wanted from around the world in 7 months. That's more than the entirety of the last administration. We put 1,500 child predators in prison. We dismantled 300 human trafficking networks. So, which is it? You don't like me, that's fine. But don't you dare disparage the men and women of the FBI that are producing record results in historic fashion to protect this country. They are kicking ass ...
