Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey.

It investigates on today's show of a very special guest, returning guest. His name is John Clycheck. Last name is spelled K-L-Y, C-Z-E-K. And he returns to the show. It's been too long. We last spoke a couple times in 2022. One of our earlier shows was about Brave New

World, very important book and topic by Altaxie. And we also went over his book. Another very

important topic. And the title of his book is School World Order, the Technocratic Globalization

of Corporatized education.

And we're going to talk about a subject that ties in kind of to both of those subjects,

surprisingly.

But it's an article he wrote for the great website and publication, unlimited hangout.

And if you're watching this on Rumble, Rockfin, or X, Twitter, you'll see the full title of it. And it's Trump Ed 2025. School Choice Corporatization, Social Impact Finance, and the dismantling of the Department of Education. And when I was reading, kind of doing my daily readings, trying to stay informative.

All the incredible changes that are happening, I read something this morning about Trump signing

something to get rid of the Department of Education and return to the state.

So this is something they've been thinking about.

And there's a lot of great background information in this article

but john a.k.a. the Taoist professor, Clycheck, can tell us more about that. So, John, welcome

back to the show. Hey, thanks for having me, William. Good to be back. Awesome. So for people who

maybe hadn't heard our other two, I'll repost those other shows we've done too after this one.

But if people who haven't heard those or maybe not heard your name or your book,

maybe you can do a little background, cover your background, your book, and then what led you up to writing this article?

Yeah, so I am a public educator. I'm an adjunct college professor. I teach rhetoric and argumentation. I've been doing that for

over a decade now. It might be close to 15 years now. There was a time shortly before Donald

Trump got into office the first time where in my state of Illinois, there was a budget crisis.

The governor, Bruce Rowner, who's heavily involved in the school choice movement.
