Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Takes On Milwaukee Teachers Union President

video
» 186 comments

America Live host Megyn Kelly took a look at the ongoing union protests in Wisconsin, paying special attention to the fact that doctors have been writing notes – on camera, no less – to excuse demonstrating teachers from having to work, despite the fact that some weren’t ill.

To get to the bottom of the matter, Kelly spoke with Mike Langyel, the president of the Milwaukee Wisconsin Teachers Union. She began the interview by asking Langyel whether he condoned union members lying about their health issues so that they could take days off without losing their jobs, to which he responded, multiple times, by talking instead about Wisconsin governor Scott Walker.

Kelly attempted to get a straight answer out of Langyel, telling him that while many viewers are sympathetic towards the plight of Wisconsin’s teachers, they’re less inclined to be sympathetic to acts of fraud and pleading with him to step away from his “vanilla, sort of plain Jane talking points” and simply answer her question directly.

Referring to the video of a doctor writing notes for a perfectly healthy teacher, Langyel told Kelly that “whatever happened there, I didn’t see it. I don’t know what it is” before informing Kelly that her question was the “wrong one” to be asking. And that’s precisely the point when Kelly told Langyel how, exactly, television news works:

For better or for worse, I’m the anchor and you’re the guest. So I’ll come up with the questions and you can answer them or not.

    Nice job Megyn! And a great question! Seriously. She cornered the union weasel and did so professionally and appropriately.

    Now ask the governor if his “no compromise” stance is really governance.

  • espo222

    Wow, this guy is a moron. I feel sorry for the teachers, in the sense that this guy represents them. That being said, If I were a parent in WI, with a child in public school, I would quickly pull them out. This whole charade has really shown us what type of people the WI school districts employs. These people are committing fraud, they are lying and not representing their schools in a respectable manner. Walker wants to have a vote and the people who are elected to vote on these things are hiding. How is that courageous? If the vote isn’t what the union thugs like….tough. That is democracy.

One of the most interesting questions was about President Obama’s birthplace. 63 percent of Fox viewers believe Obama was not born in the US (or that it is unclear). In 2003 a similar study about the Iraq war showed that Fox viewers were once again less knowledgeable on the subject than average. Let the flame war begin!

    This whole phony doctors note bullshit which was drummed up by fox is a complete fraud. First, when fox showed those 2 “teachers” with the doctors notes, they didn’t show the signatures. They were blured out. Why? Also, why didn’t these 2 women tell us the names of these 3 doctors? And why didn’t they take the fox reporter to the street corner where they claimed these doctors were? Finally, if no teacher has presented these phony notes to the school, where is the fraud? Now, aren’t you curious as to why this story wasn’t widely reported? It’s because it’s more Breitbart bullshit and the networks weren’t about to get burned again. See for yourselves!

    When the newly elected Reichstag first convened on March 23, 1933, (not including the Communist delegates, since their party had already been banned by that time) it passed the Enabling Act (Ermächtigungsgesetz), transferring all legislative powers to the Nazi government and, in effect, abolishing the remainder of the Weimar constitution as a whole. Soon afterwards the government banned the Social Democratic party, which had voted against the Act, while the other parties chose to dissolve themselves to avoid arrests and concentration camp imprisonment.

    Get rid these worthless leeches and start hiring people that want to work for less, trust me the quality won’t be any worse. There are plenty of people that will work without a need to be part of the union racket. They have finally drained the well dry and who do they turn to, the very people they’ve been mooching off of for years. They should start training and hiring immediatly and kick the spoiled gov. workers to the curb. If they go on unemployment, make them work 25-30 hours a week for it helping their local government.

  • WHarropson

    He don’t answer questions very well, do he? No one is surprised by this interview. We all know what the substance of the issue is: It basically is “we have more people standing out protesting than you do so we should win.” Tommy Christopher has been battling out this most cogent point elsewhere. Elections have consequences and RIGHT THINKING is the consequence of the last one, to the left’s dismay. The floudering responses of the Union leader just confirms it.

    Here is what those teachers have given the state of Wisconsin.

    Two-Thirds of Wisconsin Public-School 8th Graders Can’t Read Proficiently—Despite Highest Per Pupil Spending in Midwest
    Tuesday, February 22, 2011
    By Terence P. Jeffrey

    CNSNews.com) – Two-thirds of the eighth graders in Wisconsin public schools cannot read proficiently according to the U.S. Department of Education, despite the fact that Wisconsin spends more per pupil in its public schools than any other state in the Midwest.
    In the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education in 2009—the latest year available [2]—only 32 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned a “proficient” rating while another 2 percent earned an “advanced” rating. The other 66 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned ratings below “proficient,” including 44 percent who earned a rating of “basic” and 22 percent who earned a rating of “below basic.”

  • Sprocket

    Well let’s say of the two choices, I chose the lesser of two weevils. However, in retrospect, seeing Ms Palin’s highschool pettiness and McCain’s inability to chose a coherent position, I think the Obama weevil is far and away the better choice. Fairy tale or not, with or without the pixie dust garnish, Obama is the reality we have for the next 6 years, unless a star arrives in the eastern sky and shines down on the next GOP messiah. Now maybe you thought McCain was the bees knees, and Palin makes you feel all tingly, and if so, I respect your choice. Unfortunately you are in the minority for now, so you get to winge and complain for 6 more years, as is your right.

    But as to my quote and your response, I fail to see the connection. Or are you just bored and trying to get someone to chat with you?

    Not being a lawyer, and not even playing one on TV, or not even having stayed at a Holiday Inn Express ever, I may be wrong, but doctor-patient privilege may trump any investigation. What a doc determines between himself and his patient is based on his best estimate. Unless of course, one of the notes results in a malpractice lawsuit, which is kinda doubtful. Now they could waste a lot of time and money pursuing some halfassed legal remedy, but I believe the courts would send them packing.

    I think they wouldn’t need to go into the patient/doctor privilege as they caught them on tape admitting to it. The doctor was trying to be cool and not admit it on camera but the teacher blew it and the doc was caught. Also I saw one interview with a man who got an excuse who really wasn’t looking for one. He seems willing to talk. Don’t be so sure a case can’t be made. How many people got these excuses? Could be possible a few got them who are not on the side of the union. How about if the teachers are dumb enough to present them and the principle has say 30 from the same doctor and that doctor is on camera being at the rally? Pretty good case that no exam was made. I don’t think they would be investigating if they didn’t think they had cause.

    OK sorry I bow to Big Hair Todds intimate knowledge of the situation. I did not know you could tell from video whether or not the patient in question was sick or might have already been a patient of the doctors. Also I did not know you had intimate knowledge of what questions were being asked. I did not make any assumptions past the fact that whatever passes between a doctor and his patient is confidential, regardless of locale.

    I am not assuming anything. If someone wants to pursue this legally, that is his right. Making it stick? I’ll leave you to argue that one with the lawyers. I am sure you could probably get enough money put together to get the doc convicted of a misdemeanor. Then you would have to get a peer review board to discipline him. Good luck with that.

    Doctor patient privilege exists from the moment a patient asks a doctor to assist them. If the patient is incapacitated, and the doctor proceeds anyway, doctor patient privilege still exists. Spin that any way you want.

    I think they wouldn’t need to go into the patient/doctor privilege as they caught them on tape admitting to it. The doctor was trying to be cool and not admit it on camera but the teacher blew it and the doc was caught. Also I saw one interview with a man who got an excuse who really wasn’t looking for one. He seems willing to talk. Don’t be so sure a case can’t be made. How many people got these excuses? Could be possible a few got them who are not on the side of the union. How about if the teachers are dumb enough to present them and the principle has say 30 from the same doctor and that doctor is on camera being at the rally? Pretty good case that no exam was made. I don’t think they would be investigating if they didn’t think they had cause.

    Then I don’t know which kind of case they are talking about either. I am not so sure a medical board is barred from any medical evidence in an internal ethics case, are you. I though you were trying to say it was all a fraud that it happened but now you are saying well no one can prove it? Does it make it OK if the fraud happened but it can’t be proven? The end justifies the means is the Marxist mantra and seems now to the teachers. Sure glad my daughter is planning to home school.

    Leftist radical union hacks used to be able to ‘hide’ behind the supposed ‘affluence’ of the private sector when they embezzled money from honest taxpayers to pay for their Cadillac Escalades, vacations to Switzerland, and other ‘necessities.’ But now these hacks are the affluent ones, and they’re asking–no, demanding–that the people just getting by in life help keep them that way. Asking them to pay not only for their current Escalade, but also for their next two. I’m pleased to see Leftist union hacks on parade now; we’ve been waiting for this ‘reality show’ from them for awhile now.

    Up is down, down is up in liberal land. Lies are okay as long as the ends justify the means. No wonder they have no problem with the peaceful teachings of Mohammed:

    Taqiyya: Conditions to lie set by Muhammad
    In his Sira, Muhammad authorized lying to improve the chances of successful assassinations, for example in the case of Shaaban Ibn Khalid al-Hazly and Bin Kaab.
    Muhammad said: “Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people” [Ahmad, 6.459. H]

We wouldn’t want you to bleed to death waiting for the doc to establish a patient-doctor relationship with you. In this case, since we are splitting hypothetical hairs, I took the time to ask my cousin, who has trauma medicine in her resume and she opined that “doctors treat patients as they present themselves”.

    Yeah, let companies move out of state if they don’t do everything they can to give public workers what they want! After all, public workers deserve every penny of tax money they demand for pay and benefits and if those paying those taxes want to move out of the state, then the state should just let them. Above all, the state shouldn’t worry about keeping businesses because they can just raise taxes on the businesses that stay in the state. The preceeding was liberal logic.

    Next time ask the union guy why FDR said this about public employee unions?

    “All government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people.”

    “The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters. Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of government employees.”

    “Upon employees in the federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable.”

    SEIU Protester Harasses Black Tea Partier: “Do You Have Any Children… That You Claim?” (Video)

    A pro-public union SEIU rally turned ugly Tuesday outside the Colorado Capitol in Denver.
    The Colorado union supporters started out the day chanting, “Tax the rich!”

    During the rally several of the pro-union protesters took turns harassing a gay black conservative tea partyer who was participating in the counter-rally.

    The SEIU supporters called him stupid, uneducated. They called him “son.” They harassed him. They asked him how he could vote against “his own best interest.”

    In this clip the SEIU supporters asked the black tea partyer,
    “Do you have any children that you claim?” **

    A perfect example of a union that condones fraudulent behavior. The ends always justify the means in the world of a union leader. Sad, that there are those that support teachers and doctors lying and cheating. The same teachers that are teaching your children essentially that this is A-OK. Sickening that they will constantly use the children as pawns, to get their way – while claiming what they are doing – is for the children. Ya right.

    Fire Every last one these criminals. The last thing children need is an example set by a so-called ‘teacher’; that if you cry and holler loud enough, cheating and lying in the process, you to can get your way.

    These union criminals have more money at their disposal than almost all of the big, evil corporations that they constantly crow on about. Yet, they have managed to convince a whole lot of people, they are just in it to protect the ‘working man’ or the ‘little guy’.

    Really? Here is the yearly income for the chief spokespeople opposing unions: Bill O’Reilly 30 million per year; Glenn Beck 40 million per year; Hannity 20 million per year. How much does the union chiefs in Wisconsin earn?

    The individual union leaders do not make the money directly.

    The combined money in their coffers, and the amount spent on elections (2008 Election), is greater than that spent by the corporations. Do they ever consult with the people whose union dues they are siphoning from on who they should support? Does a conservative union member paying the same dues as his progressive counter-part have a say?

    Some corporation CEO’s (Jobs, Gates and Buffet for example) supported Barack Obumbler. How many unions supported GOP candidates? I will let your left-wing mind think about that for a minute. The aforementioned billionaires have, and make more money – than a thousand Beck’s, O’Reilly’s and Hannity’s.

    Do you support this criminality going in Wisconsin? Or, do you only support criminality when it is the people with a similar ideology to yours, is doing it?

    Here is something you won’t see on Fox:

    WALKER: You’ve got a few of the radical ones — unfortunately, one of them’s the minority leader — but most of the rest of them are just looking for a way to get out of this. They’re scared out of their minds. They don’t know what it means. There’s a bunch of recalls up against them. They’d really like to just get back up here and get it over with. So the paycheck thing, some of the other things threatening them, I think collectively there’s enough going on, and as long as they don’t think I’m going to cave, which again we have no interest in. An interesting idea that was brought up to me by my chief of staff, we won’t do it until tomorrow, is putting out an appeal to the Democratic leader. I would be willing to sit down and talk to him, the assembly Democrat leader, plus the other two Republican leaders–talk, not negotiate and listen to what they have to say if they will in turn–but I’ll only do it if all 14 of them will come back and sit down in the state assembly. They can recess it… the reason for that, we’re verifying it this afternoon, legally, we believe, once they’ve gone into session, they don’t physically have to be there. If they’re actually in session for that day, and they take a recess, the 19 Senate Republicans could then go into action and they’d have quorum because it’s turned out that way. So we’re double checking that. If you heard I was going to talk to them that’s the only reason why. We’d only do it if they came back to the capitol with all 14 of them. My sense is, hell. I’ll talk. If they want to yell at me for an hour, I’m used to that. I can deal with that. But I’m not negotiating.

Sickening that they will constantly use the children as pawns, to get their way – while claiming what they are doing – is for the children. Ya right. Fire Every last one these criminals. The last thing children need is an example set by a so-called ‘teacher’; that if you cry and holler loud enough, cheating and lying in the process, you to can get your way.

    You’re right. Where is Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Palin and Boehner’s “Sacrifice”?

    The Republicans have NEVER asked the Corporate Citizen whom they work for to sacrifice. As matter of fact, they just gave themselves another Trillion US Tax Dollars to do – NOTHING; then turn on the tax paying American middle-class and poor and ask them TO PICK UP THE TAB.

    Nice work GOP. Screwing the people after 8 years of Bush is no small feat. Of course, you didn’t explain to them this when you lied running for office – just that “tough decisions” had to be made – then of course you made them at the expense of the country. The Koch Bros. are very happy with your work. You are truly Koch Whores.

    None of the people you name collect money directly or indirectly from the taxpayers. In fact they all pay a lot of taxes. In Wisconsin, taxpayers’ money goes to the government, which pays the teachers and other public workers. Then $700-1000 a year is deducted from the public worker’s pay that goes directly to the unions, to pay the union bosses and to help elect more Democrats who will approve more pay and benefits for the union members. so they can pay more union dues, so the union bosses get more money and can elect more Democrats, then they can raise the pay of the union members, so that more dues go into the slush funds of the union bosses and help to elect more Democrats, and so on, and so forth.

    I don’t pay a cable bill and the last time I looked into using one the plan I looked into had to pay extra for Fox and that is one reason I choose to not get the plan. Difference is you don’t have to buy cable, it is your choice. If I felt I could afford it I would have it and pay the extra for Fox.
