Crom’s Crommentary: Union Boss Randi Weingarten and the Demise of the Republic

Nov 30, 2022

Live from Music Row, Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed the original all-star panelist Crom Carmichael to the studio for another edition of Crom’s Crommentary.

CROM CARMICHAEL:

Michael, in the notable and quotable section of The Wall Street Journal of November 22nd, the former Secretary of State was doing an interview and this is what he said, and I’m quoting here. “I get asked who is 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. If you ask who’s the most likely to take down this republic, it would be the teachers’ unions and the filth that they’re teaching our kids.

These are the things that candidates should speak to in ways that say, here’s a problem, here’s a proposal of how to solve it. And if given the opportunity, these are the things I will work on to try to deliver outcomes that fix the problem.”

Here’s Mike Pompeo, who is likely to run for president, who is saying the most dangerous person to our country is the head of one of the two teachers’ unions, Randi Weingarten. And I happen to agree.

I put Randi Weingarten in a higher-order category of destruction for our country than any terrorist you can name. The terrorists who brought down the Trade Center killed 3,000 people.

Randi Weingarten and her ilk are destroying the lives of millions of people and millions of children. And she’s proud of it. And I say that because if you look at the results and that’s what you should be looking at. Let me say this.

If the government ran our grocery stores the same way that the government runs our schools, what would our grocery stores deliver? What would be the results? And the answer is they would deliver terrible food that was spoiled.

And we’d have 10s of millions of people starving to death because the government would be running our grocery stores. But if the government ran our grocery stores, the failure would be so apparent that people would rise up and they would stop that.

But because the government runs our schools and is controlled by unions that are controlled by Randi Weingarten, the public does not seem to be as concerned. The school board wins are nice, but they’re window-dressing.

They’re not going to accomplish anything until you have a politician who is elected president who calls Randi Weingarten out for exactly what she is and calls the teachers’ unions out for exactly what they are.

And like Biden has, in this sense, used a whole-of-government approach to go after his issues. I don’t agree with his issues, but I think his tactics are the ones that the tactics that a Republican president should use if one is elected.

Listen to today’s show highlights, including this interview:

Roger Simon on Pro-Hamas, Anti-Israel Protests on College Campuses: ‘What Happened in Germany in 1937’ Is ‘What We’re Undergoing Now’

Roger Simon, the co-founder of PJMedia and current columnist for The Epoch Times, said the pro-Hamas protests unfolding on Ivy League college campuses across the nation are comparable to the scene in Germany in 1937.

Simon made the comments on Tuesday’s episode of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show after listening to audio of a clip taken from Columbia University where pro-Palestine protesters formed a human chain to keep Jewish students out of an encampment on the university’s campus.

NewsChannel 5’s Phil Williams Refuses to Explain His Failure to Get Justin Jones on the Record about Allegations He Covered Up Report of 2020 Sexual Assault, Tries to Distract with False Claims About Tennessee Star Reporter

Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, addressed personal attacks from NewsChannel 5’s chief investigative reporter Phil Williams over the weekend, saying such attacks are “absolute silliness” and a common tactic used by Williams when pressed on his “journalistic failings.”

On Sunday, Pappert reported on an interview between Williams and Dan Mandis, host of Nashville’s Morning News with Dan Mandis on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, where Williams said that he once asked Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville) to respond to claims made by his former close colleague Jeneisha Harris on June 18, 2020 that the state lawmaker had covered up the sexual assault of two protesters by a homeless man.
