| 0:07.0 | The Welcome to Unlimited Hangout. I'm your host, Whitney Webb. For much of the year, this podcast has been exploring the phenomenon of the PayPal presidency, that is, the extremely significant influence of the PayPal Mafia and their allies in Silicon Valley on the current Trump administration, from health care to finance and beyond. Today we will be taking a look |
| 0:56.3 | at how big tech, neoconservative think tanks in the Trump administration are shaping current |
| 1:01.5 | education policy, including the so-called school choice movement and the promised dismantling of the |
| 1:07.9 | Department of Education that seem at first first glance, to be about reducing |
| 1:12.2 | federal control over education. However, the deeper reality is anything but. Other education |

| 2:11.7 | Trump Ed 2025, School Choice Corporatization, Social Impact Finance, and the dismantling of the apartment and education, |
