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.
Yeah, it can't be talked about enough. DEI is an absolute cancer in our society and it's far away. And Charlie, I know how you hire it. I know you've always rejected it. And so that's a compliment to you. But that is so right on. And we need to absolutely not have that.
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? And I had to think about it. And I said, I don't really think so anymore. And someone who is an academic guy, 50 years ago, the thought that in half a century, Harvard would not add to your resume.
It just shows you stop wasting your money on these places. Get those internships going for your kids.
Oh, thank you, Charlie. We're colleagues now at Salem. I'm on the Salem Podcast Network. So you can get it on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Rumble, wherever you're doing it. We're off to a fast start because I've got such great friends like you. And it is having a blast. Breitbart.com is absolutely thriving right now. We are the paper of record for the Trump administration.
We call the balls and strikes. And I think you'll always find something entertaining and informative on our pages every single day.
Thank you, Charlie.
Hi, Charlie. So you got that right. About three weeks ago, two weeks ago, something like that, I sent this email to all of Brown's administrators. And it's essentially just a press request. That's what it is. I'm acting in my capacity as a journalist for the Brown Spectator. And I'm trying to get a read on what's going on at Brown University. What are all these people doing? And
And this was even before, like a few days ago, the Trump administration just announced that they're going to take away Brown's federal funding because of DEI and anti-Semitism. But this is even before that, because Brown, get this, Brown costs $93,000 a year for one year of college. And I know that you say college is always a scam, Charlie, but it's seeming more and more like that these days.
Because where does all this money go? That's an excellent question. And it's pretty much, like you said, 3,805 non-faculty staff members. These are not professors who are teaching the classes. These are people who sit at desks and they push around papers and nobody exactly knows what they do because they won't tell me, especially. And so I just find that all very suspect and suspicious. Yeah.
Well, that's a great question. So at our website right now, bloats.brownspectator.com, We have about 49 people that are dedicated to DEI roles. And again, these are the people that just cost Brown $510 million from the Trump administration because they're refusing to comply with the directives about DEI.
But just in general, it's like there are multiple people, Charlie, that are dedicated to ad sales for the alumni magazine. For the alumni, I didn't even know that the alumni magazine ran ads, but apparently one person is not good enough for that. You need to have multiple people running ad sales for the alumni magazine.
There's about seven full-time people that are on the alumni magazine in general, in roles in general. But the funny thing is that I couldn't find that many articles that were written by these seven-time full-time staffers because they make freelancers and students write the actual articles.
So it's just bloat like that in the alumni magazine, in all of these various offices that as a student, I wouldn't even think to think that we had such a thing, that these offices existed because they don't really interact with students. They're pretty much just behind the scenes, but they're raising the cost of tuition that are making schools like Brown expensive.
Like, again, they always say that the Ivy League is supposed to be an economic ladder, you know, that poor kids can go to the Ivy League schools and they'll turn out successful in life. But that is really being put to the test by this enormous price tag and sort of disregard for financial planning of any sort.
