Many of these colleges, they have become basically like foreign racketeering operations from the Chinese Communist Party, where they come in with tons of cash, they pay full price, they get degrees, and then they go back to China.

Now, the counter argument that Blake would be somewhat sympathetic to, and I'm not dismissing it, is that this is like one of the last things we actually have that the rest of the world wants. I get that. I mean, at the same time, do we really want all of our colleges to be staffed at full price with the sons and daughters of the Chinese Communist Party? I also tell you, it doesn't it doesn't.

Yeah. And it's that that under the 501 C-3 code, there is an educational carve out. But far too often, a lot of these colleges, they don't act as nonprofits.

It's a difficult one. I mean, the Hillsdale College is a great example. So, again, they're great supporters of our show. Everyone should take the Hillsdale online courses. Charlie for Hillsdale.com.

Which one are you trying to finish?

Which one are you trying to finish?

It's phenomenal.

It's phenomenal.

You will finish it and you will love it. But I will say this, though, that the the Hillsdale College model and I've sat down with Dr. Larry Arnn and he says, look, despite now, no matter how hard I've tried, I cannot make Hillsdale College cash flow neutral. So I have to go to donors to offset it.

And I appreciated what he said, which is that in order to get the high quality professors at Hillsdale, which are pro-American, conservative, amazing. In order to get the buildings and the infrastructure and the dorms and the food, they charge tuition and they still lose money. So the nonprofit status allows them to continue. And that's a really good example.

Where I find it harder, though, is that when some of these colleges are like mills and they have class sizes that are 700 or 800 or 900 people, there is no individualized tutoring system. They're just running them through. It does seem to operate more like a business. But, Anthony, thank you for being a member, my friend. Really great. Talk to you soon. Thank you. Talk to you soon, Charlie. Great.
