The Charlie Kirk Show
A Big Beautiful Bill + A Bright Future Ahead

Yeah, so I'm really thrilled to see the Department of Education winding down, Charlie. But I think that one thing, I was thinking about this a lot when you were talking about Hillsdale earlier, about how if something is worthwhile, then people are going to step up and they're going to fund it when it comes to education, when it comes to our future.

And I don't understand why the federal government is invested in any of these things. universities at all at this point. So many of them are self-sustained by their endowments, which are essentially just hedge funds. And they can operate enough so that they don't even need to collect tuition at this point, much less federal funds. And yet they're still able to get it.

But I think there's a toxic university culture that permeates out into our society. Think about this, Charlie. We all know that our inner cities are not doing well. But one of the things that is an unsung part of this, an unheralded part of this, is the fact that these universities come in. They set up shop in our big cities. They bring in all these left-wing people who vote terribly.

They get all these federal funds to sustain this huge economic system that drives the university campus, et cetera. They get all these parents who... save money, and then they take out loans and they send all these kids to schools. And then what happens? The kids get these terrible values and then they vote horribly. They vote for the George Gascons of the world.

They vote for the Soros-funded DAs. And it's actually ruining not just people's minds, but it's ruining our cities. And so this is why I feel like it's sort of an existential issue for us to take away their opportunity to get the federal funds as fast as possible, because it's not just ruining the schools. It's also ruining our cities.

The cities is the incubators for where left-wing thought is gestating and then permeating out into the rest of the culture. The suburbs are doing fine. Rural America is doing amazing. We need to get people out of the cities. And one of the ways to do this is to get the universities out of the cities.

But I'll tell you, I blew Dennis Prager's mind because Dennis Prager, our friend, he asked me when I'm hiring at Breitbart, if I see a Harvard on the resume, does it help?
