Why is our education system collapsing? No surprise, Woodrow Wilson is involved...

Tonight, I want to talk to you about something else that is beginning to absolutely collapse on us. It’s our education system. It has begun to collapse, and I don’t know if you remember, when we first started feeling like the country was collapsing, we feel the loss of rights, we all asked each other, “How did this happen to us? How did we get here?” And it was important to go back to Woodrow Wilson and look at the progressive era to understand what we’re going through now. We have to start at the beginning.

Well, that’s the thing that we have to do with education as well. America’s earliest days featured some of the most prolific thinkers in history, people like Thomas Jefferson, who could write two different languages at the same time. He could write sentences backward starting at the period. Franklin, who was absolutely a genius, if it wasn’t for Franklin, I contend we wouldn’t have had Faraday, we wouldn’t have had all of the electrical experiments in Paris, and we wouldn’t have probably the electric that we have now the way we do – brilliant man.

George Washington, all brilliant in their own right. Jefferson studied Latin, Greek, French, and that was by the age of nine. He was giving advice to everybody, never read any book not in its native language. He got onto a boat, he never read Spanish before. He got on a boat to go over to England. By the time he got there, he could understand and read Spanish. He brought Don Quixote in English and Spanish. And he read it, and he figured it out – brilliant man.

Benjamin Franklin invented just about everything and a huge philanthropist, started the first hospital in the United States that was a public hospital. Washington was an official county surveyor at the age of 17 years old. Now, were they a product of some giant government-run school that the king had spent all kinds of money on that somehow or another we destroyed through the American Revolution? No, there was absolutely no system in place.

In fact, for decades after our founding, most Americans were primarily educated in a way that is completely foreign to us now. They were taught at home by their parents or tutors and in a completely different way. Now, how could that be?

Teachers unions will make it sound as if without the teacher that has gone to school, there is no chance of you being anything other than an uneducated rube. They’ll tell you that you’re harming your child if you teach them at home, but the fact is going to school was not always a way of life in America. You’ll never guess when it began.

Neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights even mentions a public education. You’d think with these guys who were so smart they would have thought of what are we going to do for education? They knew it was the parent and the family’s responsibility. The first public school didn’t even appear until 1821. Now, progressives will suggest to you, I’m sure, that we were subhumanoid imbeciles roaming the country grunting when we wanted something, but nine out of ten people here in America, they were all farmers, were literate.

Their parents, their tutors or local educators, taught them to read, nine out of ten. And then they went out and did something really unusual, they actually read books, lots of books. I challenge you right now, go back and just Google, you know, 1870 test for eighth graders, just do it. You will never be able to even understand their mathematics. You won’t be able to do it, and it’s not Common Core. You won’t be able to process what they already knew.

You go look for their test on citizenship. It was rhetoric on citizenship. They were just asked a series of questions. You had to prove why freedom was better, and you had to do it by the time you were ten. Most adults couldn’t even do it. It was a parent’s responsibility to educate their child. You could do it yourself or the towns often had an educator that all the parents would decide, and then they would bring all the kids into the schoolhouse. Regardless of what age, everybody was together.

So what happened? Well, everything began to change rapidly during the progressive era, and I know, it’s a real shock. The long-held idea that children were the parents’ responsibility was aggressively being challenged. See what’s happening right now at our hospitals. They’re challenging your right to take care of the health. Well, they’ve already challenged your right to be responsible for their education, why not the health, then the food?

Well, it would be the turning point that began to build the progressive education infrastructure that is now collapsing our education system because it doesn’t work. But on the think tank, we wanted to show you a few key moments on what happened. In 1867, we began the Department of Education. It was called the Office of Education, now the Department of Education.

It was created with a budget of about $15,000, and it was designed to study how can we make education better? You’ll see in a minute, and you decide, did it make education better or just bigger?

1874, this is when we have the Board of Ed, and this one is really important. The Massachusetts, surprise, surprise, Board of Education stated, “The child should be taught to consider his instructor, in many respects, superior to the parent in point of authority.” That sounds exactly like Woodrow Wilson a few years later, the progressive ideal, the state knows best.

Let me give you some quick perspective on this one. We went from a nation where parents were primary in education to today, most Americans start sending their kids off to school at the age of five. Think of this, at five years old, instead of being with mom or dad or anybody in the family, your child is shipped off at 8:00 in the morning or 9:00 in the morning. You don’t usually see them again until later in the afternoon, maybe 3:00-ish. That’s six to seven hours a day that you let someone else other than you program your child.

As you know now, we do not have similar views on the country or freedom or anything else. You know it. You’re seeing it. What is it that they are programming your child to believe? This is why it’s no surprise that Mayor de Blasio is actually pushing for prekindergarten for all. This is something that they wanted to do for a very long time. They want control from cradle to grave, and with that control, they are now pushing for year-round school 12 hours a day.

But let me go back to the timeline because this is where Woodrow Wilson is introduced, Woodrow Wilson and the American Federation of Teachers. It’s a union, but remember, at the time, unions were communist looking for that communist goal. It was established in Chicago by 1918, and all states now have a compulsory attendance law within two years. So now you’re trapped. America’s youth had been trapped, and there is no way out.

In 1919, you have the Progressive Education Association, founded with the same goal of reforming the systems, and boy, did they ever. By 1922, the state of Oregon actually made it illegal for children to attend a nongovernmental school. What they were trying to do was they were trying to squeeze out the religious schools out of the education picture. That later was shot down by the Supreme Court who said children were not mere creatures of the state, but this was a harbinger of things to come.

And then you go back to 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act passed by none other than the world-famous LBJ. It’s frightening, the sweeping legislation helped pave the way for federal government to exercise control and influence over the local schools through funding. They got it passed by claiming it was just for poverty areas, that’s it, but within a few years, it provided aid to 60% of America’s school districts, and we were all hooked.

By 1965, the one miniscule Office of Education now had 2,113 employees and a budget of $1.5 billion. By 1976, the NEA did something they’ve never done before, they endorsed a candidate for the very first time, the one and only Jimmy Carter. Then the one real final death blows to this whole thing, in 1979, Jimmy Carter signs a law elevating the Department of Education to cabinet level status. Now that meant your education was not in the hands of the federal government. When it’s in the cabinet, it means it is in the hands now of one man, the President of the United States. That’s who the cabinet reports to.

By 1994, it’s reported that the government was losing $3-$4 billion a year to waste, to fraud, to defaults in its student programs. They now get $72 billion a year in funding, and they all say it’s for the kids. And you’re a hatemonger who hates children, and you just want them to fail in life, you want them to live in the gutter if you oppose more education funding.

But what have been the results of this progressive education explosion? We saw what it was like at the beginning of our country where people were literate. We’ve had lots of spending. What are the results? Because it’s all about results, isn’t it? Or is it about control? Is it about conform? Look at the results, look at the spending.

We put this book out what, two weeks ago, three weeks ago, shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list. It was the number one selling book in the country, number two on the New York Times best list, but it has everything in it that you need to stop Common Core. And it must be stopped.

I told you a minute ago we’re doing something to Stage 19. One of the things we’re doing is we’re building an entirely new set with a studio audience section of 150 people, and that is partly for Conform. We want you to go and meet with us in movie theaters all across the country, and there are 600 movie theaters now across the country that are going to be having a night of action where we all get together and learn from some of the greatest minds about this education system.

Wewillnotconform.com, you know the history, now where we go from here is up to you. Go to wewillnotconform.com and find out how to get your tickets. Tell everybody you know, and we will see you on Stage 19 from movie theaters all across the nation July 22.

Our children are sick, and Big Pharma claims to be the cure, but is RFK Jr. closer to proving they are the disease?

For years, neurological disorders in our children have been on the rise. One in nine children in the U.S. has been diagnosed with ADHD, and between 2016 and 2022, more than one million kids were told they suffer from the disorder. Similarly, autism diagnoses have increased by 175 percent over the past decade. RFK Jr. pledged to investigate the rising rates of neurological disorders as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and this week, he announced a major initiative.

Earlier this week, RFK Jr. announced that the HHS has embarked on a massive testing and research effort to uncover the root causes of autism and the sharp spike in recent diagnoses. The HHS Secretary vowed that the results will be available by September of this year, leaving many skeptical about the study's rigor. Conversely, some speculate that the HHS may have unpublished studies revealing critical insights into these disorders, just waiting to see the light of day.

Glenn brought up a recent article by the Daily Wire referencing a New York Times piece in which experts questioned the legitimacy of ADHD diagnoses. Glenn agreed and suggested that people are just wired differently; they learn, work, and study differently, and the cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all school system simply fails to accommodate everyone.

New York Times' ADHD Admission

Earlier this week, the New York Times published an article that made a shocking admission: there are no concrete biological markers for ADHD. The clinical definition of ADHD is no longer supported by the evidence, and there are no physical, genetic, or chemical identifiers for the disorder, nor is there any real way to test for it. The paper also admitted that people diagnosed with ADHD would suddenly find that they no longer had any symptoms after a change of environment, profession, or field of study. This suggests that "ADHD" might simply be a matter of interests and skills, not a chronic brain sickness.

The most horrifying implication of this admission is that millions of people, including children, have been prescribed heavy mind-altering drugs for years for a disorder that lacks real evidence of its very existence. These drugs are serious business and include products such as Adderall, Ritalin, and Desoxyn. All of these drugs are considered "Schedule II," which is a drug classification that puts them on the same level as cocaine, PCP, and fentanyl. Notably, Desoxyn is chemically identical to methamphetamine, differing only in its production in regulated laboratories rather than illegal settings.

Worse yet, studies show that these medications, like Desoxyn, often provide no long-term benefits. Testing demonstrated that in the short term, there were some positive effects, but after 36 months, there was no discernible difference in symptoms between people who were medicated and those who were not. For decades, we have been giving our children hardcore drugs with no evidence of them working or even that the disorder exists.

RFK Jr's Autism Study

Autism rates are on the rise, and RFK Jr. is going to get to the bottom of it. In the year 2000, approximately one in 150 children was diagnosed with autism, but only 20 years later, the rate had increased to one in 36. While some claim that this is simply due to more accurate testing, RFK Jr. doesn't buy it and is determined to discover what is the underlying cause. He is an outspoken critic of vaccines, asserting that the true scope of their side effects has been buried by greed and corruption to sell more vaccines.

RFK Jr. doesn't plan on stopping at vaccines. Similar to ADHD, RFK Jr. suspects other environmental factors could increase of autism or exacerbate symptoms. Factors like diet, water quality, air pollution, and parenting approaches are all under investigation. It's time to bring clarity to the neurological disorders that plague our nation, cut through the corruption, and reveal the healing truth.

Neurological Intervention

Big Pharma has been all too happy to sit back and watch as the rate of neurological disorders climbs, adding to the ever-growing list of permanent patients who are led to believe that their only choice is to shell out endless money for treatments, prescriptions, and doctor visits. Rather than encouraging lifestyle changes to improve our well-being, they push ongoing medication and costly treatments.

All RFK Jr. is doing is asking questions, and yet the backlash from the "experts" is so immense that one can't help but wonder what they could be hiding. Both Glenn and RFK Jr. have their suspicions of Big Pharma, and the upcoming HHS study might be one of the most important steps to making America healthy again.

Why do planes keep crashing?

STR / Contributor | Getty Images

Last week, two more serious air travel incidents occurred, adding to the mounting number of aviation disasters this year. Is flying safe?

Over the past year, the number of aviation disasters that have been blasted across the media has been steadily rising, with February alone having a half dozen incidents. It begs the question: Is air travel becoming more dangerous? Or has the media just increased its coverage of a "normal" amount of crashes?

If you look at the data, it suggests that flying has been—and remains—safe. The number of accidents and fatalities has been steadily decreasing year over year and remains a small percentage of total flights. In 2024, out of the approximate 16 million flights recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. every year, there were 1,150 accidents resulting in 304 fatalities, meaning that the average flight in America has a 0.007% chance of an accident. In addition, the National Transportation Safety Board records a decrease in both fatal and non-fatal aviation accidents when compared to 2024. By this time last year, there were already 399 crashes and accidents, while this year has only clocked in 271.

That being said, Sean Duffy, Trump's new transportation secretary, admitted that America's air traffic control system needs an overhaul. Duffy pointed toward dated air traffic control equipment, overregulation, and radical DEI as the culprits behind many recent aviation accidents.

But what do the crashes suggest? We've gathered details about the major aviation accidents this year so you can decide for yourself why planes keep crashing:

American Airlines Blackhawk collision over D.C.

In one of the deadliest U.S. aviation accidents in the last decade, an American Airlines plane collided with a Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. The American Airlines flight was approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport carrying 60 passengers and four crew when it collided midair with the Army helicopter, crewed by three, killing all 67 people involved.

The exact cause behind the mid-air collision is still under investigation, but it is believed that the Black Hawk was up too high and outside of its designated flight path. A report from the New York Times suggests that the air control tower at the Ronald Regan Washington Airport has suffered years of understaffing, which seems to be a result of DEI hiring practices. Investigators are piecing through the wreckage, and the exact cause of the crash is still unknown.

Medevac explosion in Philadelphia

On the night of Friday, March 31st, a medevac plane with six people on board crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood, killing everyone on board, along with one man on the ground. The small jet departed from Northeast Philadelphia Airport at 6 pm, and according to the FAA, it crashed less than a minute later after reaching an elevation of 1,650 feet. The ensuing explosion cast a massive fireball into the sky and wounded 19 people on the ground, killing one.

The six people on board the jet were Mexican nationals, including a mother and her sick daughter who was receiving treatment from Shriners Children’s Hospital in northeast Philadelphia. As of now, there is no official cause of the crash, but much of the plane has been recovered, and the incident is being investigated.

Alaskan flight disappearance outside of Nome

At approximately 3:16 pm, on Thursday, February 6th, a small commuter plane working for Bering Air, carrying 10 passengers, took off from the town of Unalakeet, Alaska, destined for the nearby town of Nome. After a few hours, Nome lost contact with the small plane as weather conditions worsened. The following day, the Coast Guard discovered the remains of the plane, all 10 occupants were dead.

The wreckage of the aircraft, along with the remains of the passengers and crew, have been recovered and are under investigation. While there has been no official explanation given for the crash, the poor weather is believed to be a major contributing factor.

Small jet collision in Scottsdale

The pilot of a small jet died after the aircraft crashed into a larger plane in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Monday, February 10th. The owner of the jet that crashed was Vince Neil, the frontman of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, but Neil was not on board at the time of the accident. The jet had just landed in Scottsdale, where it appeared to veer out of control and smash into a parked Gulfstream at high speed. The plane was carrying four people: two pilots and two passengers. One of the pilots was killed, and the other three were seriously injured. There was only one person aboard the Gulfstream at the time of the crash, they suffered injuries but refused treatment.

It is believed that the landing gear failed upon landing, which caused the jet to skitter out of control and smash into the parked plane.

Delta crash in Toronto

On Monday, February 17th, a Delta aircraft flipped while landing and slid upside down across the runway while ablaze at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Fortunately, all 80 people aboard survived, and only three people suffered critical (though not life-threatening) injuries. First responders were quickly on the scene, extinguishing the fires and assisting the grateful survivors out of the wreckage.

The crash is believed to have been caused in part by the extreme weather in Toronto, which included a powerful crosswind and potential ice on the runway. It is also suspected that the landing gear failed to deploy properly, causing the plane to flip in the severe wind.

Small plane collision north of Tucson

On Wednesday, February 19th, yet another small plane crash occurred in the skies above Arizona. Two small aircraft collided midair near Tusosn, Arizona at Marana Regional Airport. There were two people in each of the small planes, two of which from the same aircraft died, while the other two managed to walk away with little injury.

Marana Regional Airport is an uncontrolled field, which means there is no active air traffic control present on site. Instead, pilots rely on communication with each other through a "Common Traffic Advisory Frequency" (CTAF) to safely take off and land.

Hudson helicopter crash

A helicopter tour out of New York City took a tragic turn on Thursday, April 10th, when the Bell 206 broke apart mid-flight and plunged into the Hudson River. All six people aboard perished in the crash, which included the pilot and a tourist family of five.

New York Helicopter Tours, the operator of the flight, announced it would cease operations following the accident. The decision comes amid scrutiny of the company’s safety record, which includes a prior emergency water landing and another incident where a helicopter was forced to land shortly after takeoff due to mechanical issues. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Upstate New York family tragedy

Days after the tragic Hudson crash, a small private plane carrying an NCAA athlete crashed in upstate New York, killing all six passengers. On Saturday, April 12, 2025, Karenna Groff, a former MIT soccer player and 2022 Woman of the Year, was aboard her father's Mitsubishi MU-2B with her parents, boyfriend, brother, and his partner when the plane went down in a muddy field in Copake, New York.

The aircraft was reportedly in good condition, and Michael Groff, Karenna's father, was an experienced pilot. While the official cause of the crash has not been determined, low visibility at the time of the incident is suspected to have been a contributing factor.

The recent string of aviation incidents underscores a troubling trend in air travel safety, raising urgent questions about the systems and policies governing the industry. While data suggests flying remains statistically safe, the alarming frequency of crashes, near misses, and systemic issues like outdated technology and questionable hiring practices cannot be ignored. BlazeTV's own Stu Burguiere did a deep dive into the recent crashes in the Blaze Originals documentary, Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster, uncovering the truth behind the FAA’s shift toward DEI hiring and its impact on aviation safety. Featuring exclusive interviews with former air traffic controllers, lawyers, and Robert Poole—the inventor of TSA PreCheck—this documentary exposes how the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, under Pete Buttigieg’s leadership, have contributed to making air travel more dangerous than ever.

Did Democrats just betray fair elections? The SAVE Act controversy explained

DOMINIC GWINN / Contributor | Getty Images

One of President Trump’s key campaign promises, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, faces fierce opposition from Democrats in the Senate.

The SAVE Act recently passed Congress for the second time and is now headed to the Senate. This voter security bill mandates proof of U.S. citizenship for all federal elections. It garnered unanimous Republican support in Congress but was backed by only four Democrats, consistent with last year’s Senate rejection of the bill.

Glenn has repeatedly emphasized the urgency of securing our elections, warning that without reform in the next four years, free and fair elections may become a thing of the past. However, the SAVE Act faces significant hurdles. Republicans lack the Senate votes to overcome a filibuster, meaning the bill’s fate hinges on bipartisan support—something Democrats have been reluctant to offer.

So, what exactly does the SAVE Act do? Why are Democrats opposing it? And how can you help ensure its passage?

What the SAVE Act Entails

Stefan Zaklin / Stringer | Getty Images

The SAVE Act is straightforward: it requires voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship before casting a ballot in federal elections. This measure responds to reports of voter fraud, including allegations of noncitizens, such as illegal immigrants, voting in past presidential elections. Acceptable forms of identification include a REAL ID, U.S. passport, military ID, birth certificate, or other specified documents.

Additionally, the bill mandates that states remove noncitizens from voter rolls and lists of eligible voters. It also establishes criminal penalties for officials who fail to comply with these new guidelines.

Democrats’ Opposition to the SAVE Act

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Democrats have strongly criticized the SAVE Act, arguing it discriminates against women, transgender individuals, and minorities. They claim that people who have changed their names—such as women after marriage or transgender individuals—may struggle to vote if their current ID doesn’t match their birth certificate. However, the bill allows multiple forms of identification beyond birth certificates, meaning affected individuals can use updated IDs like a REAL ID or passport.

The argument that minorities are disproportionately harmed is slightly more substantiated. A recent survey showed that 93 percent of voting-age Black Americans, 94 percent of voting-age Hispanics, and 95 percent of voting-age Native Americans have valid photo IDs, compared to 97% of voting-age whites and 98 percent of voting-age Asians. However, in 2024, only about 58 percent of the voting-age population cast ballots—a trend that has been consistent for decades. There’s little evidence that Americans are prevented from voting due to a lack of ID. Instead of opposing the bill, a more constructive approach would be to assist the small percentage of Americans without IDs in obtaining proper documentation.

How You Can Make a Difference

The stakes couldn’t be higher—free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. Conservatives must rally to ensure the SAVE Act becomes law. Contact your Senators to express your support for the bill and highlight its importance in safeguarding electoral integrity. Grassroots efforts, such as sharing accurate information about the SAVE Act on social media or discussing it with friends and family, can amplify its visibility. Local advocacy groups may also offer opportunities to organize or participate in campaigns that pressure lawmakers to act. Every voice counts, and collective action could tip the scales in favor of this critical legislation.

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

-Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park

The monstrous Dire Wolf, extinct for 10,000 years, has returned. This larger, ancient wolf species—popularized by HBO’s Game of Thrones—was resurrected by Colossal Laboratories, a Dallas-based bioscience company. Colossal utilized both preserved ancient Dire Wolf DNA and modern gray wolf DNA combined with some clever gene-crafting and a healthy pinch of hubris to create three approximations of the ancient canine.

While the wolves posed for a photoshoot alongside Game of Thrones props and its creator, Colossal’s broader plans remain unclear. However, what Glenn recently uncovered about the company is far more monstrous than the wolves will ever be. Glenn revealed that the CIA, through a nonprofit group known as In-Q-Tel, is funding Colossal's endeavors to bring back all sorts of extinct beasts. With the recently released JFK Files exposing the CIA’s unchecked power, Glenn warns of the dangerous potential behind this genetic manipulation—and the rogue agency’s possible motives.

Here are the top three most horrifying uses the CIA could have for this technology:

Dual-Use Technology

Xinhua News Agency / Contributor | Getty Images

Colossal and other biotech firms advertise a variety of "civilian" uses for bioengineered beasts, including research subjects, exotic zoos, and even climate restoration. As dubious as those uses are, Glenn revealed that the CIA could be cooking up something much worse. Gene-editing tools like CRISPR are inherently dual-purpose and easily adaptable for military use. As one of Colossal’s major investors, the CIA gains prime access to cutting-edge biotech, likely eyeing its potential for warfare.

Frankenstein’s Spy Lab

Like AI, one can only guess at the maximum capabilities of this gene-editing technology. On air, Glenn speculated about bioengineered resilient organisms, animals with tweaked senses designed for espionage or combat in areas inaccessible to drones or humans. Playing God to create new weapons of war sounds right up the CIA's alley.

Even worse than man-made mutant mutts, Glenn pointed out that these augmentations are by no means limited to animals. We could see (or rather, hear unverified rumors of) the rise of the next generation of super soldier projects. Human experimentation is not outside of the CIA's scope (think MKUltra), and genetically or chemically augmented humans have been a pipe dream for many a clandestine organization for decades. Is there anything more horrifying than an agency with as little oversight as the CIA in control of something as powerful and potentially devastating as gene-augmentation?

Eco-Warfare Unleashed

MARCELO MANERA / Contributor | Getty Images

Why attack a single target when you could attack an entire ecosystem instead?

Anyone who has had to deal with the destructive effects of fire ants knows how dangerous an invasive species can be to the human, plant, and animal inhabitants of any given region. Now imagine genetically engineered Dire Wolves or Woolly Mammoths unleashed by the CIA to cripple an enemy’s agriculture or environment. Such a weapon could inflict irreparable damage from a distance. Even the mere threat of eco-warfare might serve as a deterrent, though its unpredictability could reshape the world in ways we can’t control or repair.
