This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get to the heart of the issues that matter to you.

Today we've got Nikki Neely on the show.

She's the founder and president of defending education.

We're going to talk about a new report looking at how some of these

teachers unions like N-E-A and AFT, how they funneled over a billion dollars into political

causes in the last decade alone. So what are they funding? Why are they funding it? Do we even

think these teachers know what the money is being spent on?

I don't know.

And we've spent all this money on kids' education, almost a trillion dollars per year,

yet you've got something like 70% of kids can't read or do math at grade level.

So what's up with that?

We'll talk to Nikki about that.

And then meanwhile, you look at union bosses like Randy Wardegarton, she's making hundreds

of thousands of dollars per year.

So we're going to dig in to how these unions have become partisan machines at the expense

of kids.

So stay tuned for Nikki Neely.

Well, Nikki Neely, it's great to have you on this show.

Got a lot to talk about.

So appreciate you making the time.
