The Glenn Beck Program
Deep Dive
Why is Glenn Beck hopeful about President Trump's ability to shut down the Department of Education?
Glenn believes Trump's commitment to education reform and decentralization is genuine, similar to Reagan's long-held beliefs, and that Trump's current approach and appointments signal a real possibility of achieving this goal.
Why does Glenn Beck think tariffs could be beneficial if coupled with tax reductions?
Glenn suggests that if tariffs are implemented while reducing or eliminating income taxes, it could stimulate economic growth, bring manufacturing back to the U.S., and provide a significant boost to average take-home pay.
How does Peter St. Onge justify the use of tariffs in the context of economic policy?
St. Onge argues that tariffs, when used strategically, can be a tool to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and reduce reliance on foreign goods, especially if coupled with the elimination of income taxes, which would stimulate economic growth and job creation.
Why does Glenn Beck believe ABC's 'The View' played a significant role in Trump's election?
Beck argues that 'The View's' inept questioning of Kamala Harris, particularly her inability to name a single policy she would change, exposed her lack of substance and authenticity, which was repeatedly used in Trump's campaign ads to undermine her credibility.
What is Tina Descovich's stance on the Department of Education's role in education?
Descovich believes the Department of Education has failed to improve educational outcomes and should be dismantled, with education decisions returned to local and state levels where parents and communities have more control.
- President Trump's vow to close down the Department of Education.
- Skepticism and optimism about the feasibility of this plan.
- The importance of Trump surrounding himself with trustworthy cabinet members.
