In this highlight from The Erin Molan Show, Erin reacts to Michelle Obama’s recent comments suggesting that Americans are “sexist, ignorant, and stupid” for not supporting a female candidate — comments widely understood to reference Kamala Harris.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is taking steps to dismantle the Department of Education, the White House said on Tuesday, part of Trump’s bid to shrink the federal government's role in schooling in favor of more control by the states.
As part of its dismantling, the department announced new partnerships with the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services to share some of the functions it currently performs.
It said in a press release on Tuesday the new approach would "streamline federal education activities on the legally required programs, reduce administrative burdens, and refocus programs and activities to better serve students and grantees."
In March, Trump said he intended to deliver on a campaign promise to conservatives by calling for the department's closure.
"We're going to be returning education, very simply, back to the states where it belongs," Trump said before signing an executive order to close the department to the "maximum extent" allowed by law.
Created by Congress in 1979, the Department of Education's main roles include administering college loans, tracking student achievement and enforcing civil rights in schools. It also provides federal funding to help districts with a high percentage of needy children and to assist students with disabilities.
Federal law prohibits the department from controlling school operations, including curriculum, instruction and staffing. Authority over these decisions belongs to state and local governments, which provide more than 85% of public school funding.
The department's Republican critics have portrayed the department as a symbol of bureaucratic waste, underlining the need for smaller federal government in favor of greater state power.

At the start of his visit, the crown prince was greeted with a lavish display of pomp and ceremony presided over by Trump on the South Lawn, complete with a military honor guard, a cannon salute and a flyover by U.S. warplanes.
The warm welcome for bin Salman in Washington is the latest sign that relations have recovered from the deep strain caused by Khashoggi's murder
Salman promised on Tuesday to increase his country's U.S. investment to $1 trillion from a $600 billion pledge he made when Trump visited Saudi Arabia in May. But he offered no details or timetable.
Talks between the two leaders looked set to advance security ties, civil nuclear cooperation and multibillion-dollar business deals with the kingdom.
Trump told reporters that the two countries had reached a "defense agreement," without providing details, and that Saudi Arabia would buy advanced U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets.
Trump said he got a "positive response" about the prospects for Saudi Arabia normalizing ties with Israel. But the crown prince made clear that while he wanted to join the Abraham Accords, he was sticking to his condition that Israel must provide a path to Palestinian statehood, which it has refused to do.
The meeting underscores a key relationship -- between the world’s biggest economy and the top oil exporter -- that Trump has made a high priority in his second term as the international uproar around the killing of Khashoggi, a Saudi insider-turned-critic, has gradually faded.
Trump greeted bin Salman with a smile and a handshake on the red carpet, while dozens of military personnel lined the perimeter. The limousine was escorted up the South Drive by a U.S. Army mounted honor guard. The two leaders then looked skyward as fighter jets roared overhead.
Before sitting down for talks, the two leaders chatted amiably as Trump gave bin Salman a tour of presidential portraits lining the wall outside the Oval Office.
Bin Salman was due to have lunch with Trump in the Cabinet Room and attend a formal black-tie dinner in the evening, giving him many of the trappings of a state visit. U.S. and Saudi flags festooned lamp posts in front of the White House.
On today’s show, Josh Hammer kicks things off with MBS’s first visit to the White House in seven years—a meeting loaded with global implications. Josh breaks down why this moment matters, what’s driving it, and why Saudi Arabia remains one of the most important power players on the planet.
He then dives into the ICE raids in Charlotte, North Carolina calling them a clear example of what America First actually looks like—and exactly what Trump voters expected when they sent him to the White House.
Josh wraps the show by torching the Left’s latest obsession with forcing out more Jeffrey Epstein documents, explaining why the loudest voices are often the most dishonest. And he exposes how Republicans are doing far more to push for transparency than the Left would ever admit—especially through their allies in the media.
Federal immigration authorities will expand their enforcement action in North Carolina to Raleigh. That’s according to the mayor of the state’s capital city, who says the expansion could come as soon as Tuesday. Mayor Janet Cowell said she didn’t know how large the operation would be or how long agents would be present. Immigration authorities haven’t spoken about it. The Democrat said in a statement that crime was lower in Raleigh this year compared to last and that public safety was a priority for her and the city council.
South Carolina lawmakers are considering what could become one of the strictest abortion laws in the country — including prison sentences for women who undergo the procedure.
A State Senate subcommittee is reviewing the bill today. If it becomes law, judges could sentence women — and anyone who assists them — to up to 30 years behind bars.
The proposal would ban all abortions unless the mother's life is in danger. It could also restrict certain forms of birth control, including IUDs, and potentially limit access to in vitro fertilization.
If advanced, the bill would still face multiple legislative steps — and growing debate both inside and outside the state.
