Why Liberal Women Are Left-Wing 00:03:30
Hey, everybody.
Today in the Charlie Kirk show, Kirk Schlichter joins us.
What is it with liberal women?
We asked that question.
Why are they just so left-wing?
It's going to be liberal women against the world very soon.
And then Marjorie Taylor Greene joins us.

Getting a lot of emails, freedom at charliekirk.com on how you guys plan to vote.
It's very fascinating.
Joining us now is Kurt Schlichter, very smart patriot and author of Inferno, a new book out.
Kurt, welcome back to the program.
Hey, thanks for having me, Charlie.
Tell us about the book right off the bat.
What is it about?
Look, I was a friend of Andrew Breitbart, like a lot of people, and he said, you got to make your own culture.
So about eight years ago, actually, about six years ago, I decided to start writing conservative action novels because I was sick of taking these dumb airplane books and throwing them across the room because they were lousy.
So I wrote one, and that was called People's Republic.
And now I'm on number seven, and I've sold like in the six figures of these things.
People love them.
This is number one.
Inferno's been out since Thursday.
It is number one in political fiction.
It's in the top 200 and all of Amazon.
And I'm trying to do what conservatives should do, which is stop whining about how everything's woke and do something myself.
And these books are fun.
There's action.
There's shooting.
There's making fun of liberals.
It's got something for everybody.
I admittedly have not read them.
So is it kind of...
It's a personal failure of epic proportions.
I have long lists of personal failures and books I need to read.
So I'm actually finishing Brave New World, which I am reading in its entirety, which is a very powerful book.
So basically, this is.
It's an almost unreadable book.
The guy writes like five miles a bad road.
Brave New World, you're saying it's hard to read.
Is that?
Yeah.
It's incredibly hard to read.
It's incredibly hard to read.
In fact, I'm an infantryman.
I was trained to talk to 18-year-olds again to run up hills.
The only way to read Brave New World, in my opinion, is to know what it's about before you read it.
You have to like, you have basically have to listen to a lecture about the book, and then it makes sense.
But if you were to read it.
That's pretty much like reading every chapter of the Bible starting with Acts.
Because if you start reading it on your own, you're going to be, what the heck am I reading?
I don't get it.
You need someone to help you guide you.
Understanding Our Stereotypes 00:04:26
That's right.
So, Kurt, anyway, check it out, Inferno.
I have many personal failures, this being one of them, part of the People's Republic series.
So, Kurt, let me ask you, you have kind of a finger to the pulse.
You look at kind of what's going on in the country, I think, really fairly and honestly.
How do you think Republicans stand heading into the midterms at this moment in time?
I like to be ruthlessly objective, which sometimes gets me in trouble.
You're not part of the team.
I'm calling it as I see it.
That being said, I feel really good.
And I've got a column coming out in town hall on Thursday on the Senate in particular.
But look, if you've done this a few times, and look, I'm 57, Charlie.
I've done this a few times.
You know how it goes.
In a wave year, you're really excited in spring.
And then in summer, you start doubting yourself and going, oh, maybe we're not going to do that well.
And then in fall, people start coming home and saying, you know, we're going to send a message to the guys screwing up everything in Washington.
And that's exactly what's happening here.
This is all part of the normal pattern.
I know we, you know, Charlie, you probably saw it too.
We've been getting a lot of pundits who don't pund particularly well telling us we have these lousy candidates.
And I just don't buy it.
I mean, we've got some exceptional people with exceptional skill sets.
You know, a Blake Masters, who I will have as a guest when I'm hosting for Hugh Hewitt tomorrow.
I mean, that guy is what an accomplished guy, JD Vance.
Look at his background.
Great candidates.
Look at his skill set.
Herschel Walker, have you listened to this guy?
I don't know if I want a Senate full of Herschel Walkers or full of Blake Masters, but I love having these guys together because of that perspective.
I mean, he's just a decent, good guy who loves people and loves his country.
Yes.
Dr. Oz, I got to talk to this guy, had my doubts because, you know, I like Dave McClintock.
He was another Gulf War vet.
And I started talking to him.
And what came across was how much Dr. Roz loves the American dream.
I mean, this guy started with nothing.
Now he's very, very successful.
He's a cardiac surgeon.
He knows how to connect to people.
He understands the sensitivity he's showing to the fentanyl, which the lump, his opponent, can't be bothered with.
I don't think we have bad candidates.
I think our candidates are actively good.
And I know a lot of people tell me I'm wrong, but let's see what happens in November.
Yeah, I mean, I think the trends are our friend and you're starting to see it happen in more ways than one.
So let me ask you, Kurt, you're kind of, you dive deeper and you're not afraid to tell the truth.
What, if any, October surprise did the Democrats have up their sleeve?
Look, I think they've, I think they played most of their cards.
And I could be wrong.
We could have, you know, somebody's DUI or maybe a picture of them in a drag show or some dumb thing coming along.
But really, I think they've been in panic mode for a few weeks.
And I think if they had good stuff, they'd have dropped it.
You know, what they tried to do with Herschel Walker.
And of course, showing their total ignorance of conservatives, particularly conservative Christians, who think that, well, you did something questionable in the past.
You're done.
You're over with.
They seem to see us as John Lithgow in the original Footloose, as like these angry brimstone guys who don't understand anything about forgiveness, who don't realize that people grow and change and who are kind of dumb in that they would think that you get rid of the guy who will vote against abortion because maybe he was associated with it a decade ago and instead vote for the guy who thinks you should be able to get an abortion up to the time the kid goes to the DMV,
gets his first driver's license.
Yeah, isn't it the more operative question of okay, it's a serious accusation.
I'm not minimizing abortion.
Obviously, I'm pro-life all the way through.
But at the moment, isn't the more operative question which one of the two candidates will be actually voting for pro-life policy when they get into the Senate?
I mean, you're at a crossroads, right?
You have to, you have one or the other.
And I said something the other day.
Someone said, well, Charlie, you know, I'm not voting for a pastor.
I said, you know, I'd actually prefer Herschel Walker as a pastor over Raphael Warnock.
Look, I mean, you know, guy's not my pastor.
Of course, I grew up a California Methodist.
I'm not sure they even have Jesus.
The Senate Pro-Life Crossroads 00:04:16
But look, I always say, don't try and help the left understand us.
A, they're not going.
I mean, it's not going to be a problem.
They don't want to.
They want to understand us in their own stereotypes.
Like I said, John Lifgow from Footloose, but they don't understand us, which leads them to making mistakes.
And the way they've handled Herschel Walker is a giant mistake.
I agree with you.
Yeah, they just don't get what we're about.
But they also don't get the folklore around Herschel Walker either.
I did a segment where I said, you know, Herschel Walker being part of Georgia football and Georgia football being good this year is going to help Herschel Walker.
And the left mocked it.
I said, have you guys ever been south of the Mason-Dixon line on Saturday?
Like ever?
No.
Well, that's the thing.
They haven't.
I remember I have very good friends.
Look, I'm in Los Angeles.
Most of my friends are pretty liberal.
Okay.
And I had a good friend from college, very liberal guy.
We just didn't talk about politics.
And one time he said, you know, we got to go to New Orleans.
And I said, that's fine.
And of course, I'd lived all over the country being in the army and moving around.
And he said, yeah, I've been to New York and California.
I've never been between them.
And this is like a college graduate from what the liberals would call a really good college.
And I thought it was adorable how parochial he was.
Yeah, but he probably, he's probably been to Paris and Rome, but he hasn't been to Birmingham.
Oh, I know he has.
Yeah, of course.
Obviously, you go to Florence and you go to Brussels, but you wouldn't dare go to Tyler, Texas, right?
Yeah.
And I've been lucky enough to do all those things.
I've been to Florence and I've been to Anniston, Alabama.
But that's a very interesting point.
Didn't plan to talk about this, but we should have a domestic exchange program where we send our own college kids to the interior of the nation for a semester.
Oh, that would be.
You know, that's actually brilliant.
Look at places like Harvard and everything.
And look at their admissions thing.
You get admitted if you're a legacy.
You get admitted if you're not Asian.
You get admitted based on your personal essay and test scores.
And it creates a, you know, of course, the purpose of Harvard is not education.
It's create a credential that allows you access to the ruling class.
Yeah, it's the golden ticket.
Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.
Charlie Kirk here.
Too often we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.
The reason for this is simple.
For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.
Hillsdale College is winning in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as The Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of History of the Constitution.
As we get closer to Constitution Day, September 17th, I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses from Hillsdale.
And even better, encourage your friends and family to sign up too.

So, Kurt, I agree.
The trend is definitely our friend.
What could possibly go wrong?
We need to have at least some form of a threat analysis.
Or is it just we just basically wait for time to last?
Because it seems as if there is a cascading movement against the Democrats building.
Look, I think we actively do what we are doing.
This fight isn't going to win itself.
We need to get out there.
We need to knock on doors.
We need to talk to people.
We need to communicate.
There's a lot of money pouring in to allow reaching the undecided voters.
That's good.
We need to keep pounding away on the set of issues: crime, inflation, the border, bizarre trans stuff.
These are winning issues.
People are not in on that.
And I think this election, we're going to look back on, and there are going to be some important trends here that we saw.
White Liberals Against The World 00:05:08
I keep saying the most important development in American politics since the election of Donald Trump is the move of Hispanic Americans towards the Republican Party.
This is huge.
The Democrats bet everything they put all their chips on having Hispanics as an obedient serf class that would obey the commands of their liberal white overlords.
Apparently, none of them have married a Hispanic woman.
Let me tell you.
This is a huge, huge deal.
And I am so excited that we've earned the trust of these faith flag and family folk who want nothing more than to work hard and succeed in America and don't expect to be handed anything and don't want to be handed anything and don't want to be used or have their kids used as some bizarre social experiment.
So I'm very, very excited, not just about this year, but about the future going forward and the new coalition that we're forming.
It's really remarkable.
It's going to be white liberal college-educated women against the world, is what it's going to be.
Yes.
That's the way it is.
And I was with several of them last night in South Bay Los Angeles.
You know that.
I know it very well.
And they were just going off on their own alleged class.
What do you say?
I'm just curious.
I don't spend time with awful, but tell me about them, which is a white liberal, female liberal.
So tell me, what do you mean their class?
Well, look, I mean, first of all, a lot of what's going on is class.
And look, you and I are not Marxists, but it is very useful to analyze this as a class then.
No, I totally agree.
That's exactly a lot of these women are college educated.
They are affluent and they are a cohesive group.
I mean, they're obviously dissenters.
I'm married to one.
I was around a bunch of them yesterday, but a lot of them really look down on other people, not necessarily because of race or gender, but because, well, you know, he could never be an HR manager.
Maybe he works at a job where he sweats, or, you know, she's, you know, she's not in management.
She's just a stay-at-home mom.
And it's a very, there's a lot of snobbery involved.
A lot of it just kind of bubbling under the surface and often bubbles up.
And, you know, if people look down on you, you notice.
And I think a lot of the coalescence of the working class in the Republican Party is the realization that a lot of these people who are part of the original Democrat coalition just aren't welcome there because they're not like us.
Yeah.
And look, I'm not one to cry racist or whatever, but I believe white liberal women are actually racist.
And I think they are.
And I think the Democrat Party is a way that they have to actually feel better about themselves because they hate black people.
Like a lot of white liberal women, they don't want to say look at that.
Look what just happened in the LA City Council race.
Yes.
Right.
I mean, when they actually get filmed, they detest it.
They're scolds too.
That's the best word I could use.
They love scolding other people.
And I think it's some sort of vehicle where they'd be like, I'm actually not racist.
Like, you are.
Yeah, they kind of are.
And I feel a lot of it, they're living out their own personal psychodramas and dragging us into it.
It's just bizarre.
You know, look, guys like you, you know, folks like you or me, I've got no idea.
No one, no desire to yell and scream and order people around.
I was a commander in the army.
I didn't even like doing it when I was the army, you know?
But these people get off on it.
They get off on exercising power over others.
Yes, I agree.
Which indicates to me some sort of mental, you know, unballot.
Don't work on by hassling me.
Yeah, mental unhappiness.
When I go to these campuses, the one group that I have the most difficulty turning is the young women, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, Indians, all open-minded over a period of time.
It is the white liberal women that are just so broken.
And I have a lot of theories as to that.
And I think college has played a big role in that.
That's a whole but I think that the coming divide is going to be white liberal women against the world and we're going to win everything.
And I don't think it'll end very well for them.
Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
The southern border is wide open, and we have to tell the world about it.
Our team at Turning Point USA has been working over the last year to have a one-of-a-kind documentary all about the drugs, the guns, the crime, the criminals that are flowing across the southern border.
Our team at Turning Point USA has been working so hard on this through amazing frontline footage that shows the border patrol agents, shows people crossing the border, the illegal drug trade, the economic and societal fallout that illegal immigration has on the United States.
Racism And The Georgia Debate 00:15:20
Every single state is a border state.
And we here being headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, want the rest of the country, want you all across America to see what we are living through in Arizona.
It's a one-of-a-kind docuseries available exclusively on salemnow.com.
That is salemnow.com.
You guys will see the poorest southern border wide open and what we can do to solve it.
If you want to learn about the border, this is your opportunity.
Brought to you by Turning Point USA, available at salemnow.com.
Joining us right now is Marjorie Taylor Green.
She's a fighter.
Congresswoman Green, how are you doing?
Welcome back to the program.
Hi, Charlie.
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Doing great.
Really good debate the other night.
Was that your local congressional debate?
What was that all about?
Yes, it was.
That was my congressional debate for my district, Georgia's 14th district.
And Charlie, I have to tell you the craziest thing.
Here in Georgia, our debates are held in the city of Atlanta at the Atlanta Press Club.
And I asked them last night, I said, next year when we do this, you guys need to come out to my district and allow my constituents to sit in with an audience.
They don't do that here in Georgia.
We go to the Georgia Public Broadcasting Studio and the Atlanta Press Club host all the debates there in downtown Atlanta.
But I think it should be in the district.
Yeah, so I debated Marcus Flowers, the Democrat candidate running against me that cannot win, by the way, because our district is so red.
And also because my constituents support me, which I'm so grateful for.
But Marcus Flower is such a grifter.
It's absolutely unreal.
He has raised millions of dollars on basically an I HAMTG campaign.
You know, of course, from mostly California Democrats and New York Democrats.
So we had our debate and I think I did pretty well.
Well, I think you did great.
And I think that them attacking you and actually putting you into a race, I don't think it's competitive, is actually really stupid for them.
And it's stupid because now you're campaigning, you're running ads, you're going to drive turnout, which will actually help Herschel in an indirect way.
And so, you know, you having a race.
I mean, what is the composition of your district, Trump plus what?
Well, we're approximately 68% Republican.
You're going to be fine.
I think you're going to be fine.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
I think it's going to drive some turnout for Herschel.
And we're going to talk about Herschel in just a second.
That's important.
You know what, though?
I didn't have to debate him because I have such a solid lead, but I chose to debate him.
A lot of people won't debate when they're sure they're going to win, but I chose to debate him because I wanted to debate the Democrat policies because they've been so destructive and they're so horrible.
And everyone's lives are turned upside down right now.
So I chose to debate.
Other people set out their debates, but I think it's important for us to show up just because we need to.
We need to defend our policies and explain what we're going to do when Republicans take back the house.
Yeah, that's well said.
Let's play a piece of tape here from your debate.
Play cut one.
Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party is the party of child abuse.
It's the party that represents grooming children and sexualizing them in school, teaching anti-white racism in the terms of CRT education and genital mutilation of kids, kids that can't even get a driver's license, can't get a tattoo and cannot vote.
Elaborate from there.
Well said, anti-white racism.
What do you mean by that?
Well, what I'm talking about is it's the biggest trend coming from Democrats.
If you're white, then you're obviously the worst person in the country, especially if you're a Trump Republican, if you're America first, if you care about our country and not the rest of the world, if you want to defend our borders and you're a white person, they basically call you a racist.
And that is completely wrong.
You know, I recently spoke at a Trump rally and I said that over 5 million illegal aliens have invaded our country.
And I said that they're replacing our jobs.
They're replacing our kids in schools and their culture is replacing ours.
And I was attacked for saying that, but it's not wrong.
But the Democrat Party is the party promoting anti-white racism and we see it everywhere.
Charlie, I'll say something.
If you're a white male, you are last on the list in every single way for job promotions, to be accepted into college, to be chosen in any way.
You are last on the list, and that's completely wrong.
And I'll call out racism everywhere I see it.
And this anti-white racism is growing and it's dangerous.
It's very, very dangerous.
Stacey Abrams just tweeted out a very racist Twitter thread yesterday talking about just more anti-white racism and talking about how she wants to only promote black communities here in Georgia, but yet she wants to be governor of Georgia.
I'm sorry, if you're governor, you represent everyone in our state.
And this is the sentiment that's coming from Democrats that is so very wrong is this anti-white racism.
You know, being American, we're all equal and we need to put aside all of this identity, political identity politics and racist name calling.
We just need to all decide that we're all equal and stick with it.
But that's not who the Democrats are.
They are truly, truly the party of racism and it's against white people.
I think that's right.
And to say that out loud, people get very skittish.
It's just the way it works.
And it's too bad we should reject racism in all of its forms and fashion and its evil manifestations.
So I want to ask you about Herschel Walker.
We're all in for Herschel.
I think Herschel is a great guy, and I think he's being slandered and lied about.
Herschel had a great debate against Raphael Warnock, and Donald Trump is 100% behind Herschel Walker.
Tell us about Herschel.
Tell us about it, because we really need you to drive real turnout for Herschel.
We need the MAGA America First Base to turn out for Herschel.
Tell us about it.
Well, I feel very confident in rural Georgia turning out for Herschel Walker.
That's my district, Charlie.
We're a rural district, manufacturing district, very similar to the parts of Georgia where Herschel Walker came from, where he grew up.
Very similar and similar in our values, similar in our Christian faith, similar in our small towns and communities.
We are supporting Herschel Walker because we want to defeat Raphael Warnock.
And I think Herschel Walker did such a good job at the debate.
I was so happy that the rest of the country finally got to see the Herschel Walker that I know, the Herschel Walker that most of us in Georgia know that have heard him speak before.
He did such a good job.
And I think he put a lot of the criticism to bed.
And I just, I truly feel like Herschel's going to win here in Georgia.
And we're going to defeat Raphael Warnock, who calls himself a Christian, calls himself a pastor, but preaches abortion from the pulpit.
And it's such an abomination.
It's completely wrong.
It's evil.
And I hate to say this.
It really pains me.
But in the collapse of the Stacey Abrams campaign and Kemp, who's going to probably win by a lot, actually helps Herschel a lot.
The widening gap, again, I am no Kemp fan, and I do think you should vote for Kemp over Stacey Abrams just because of how awful Abrams is.
But I'm not a fan of Brian Kemp.
I've made that very clear and that hasn't changed.
But it's a lesser of two evils.
But don't you agree?
If Kemp really runs up the score, there's only going to be so many Kemp Warnock voters, right?
There's not going to be, it's just, that will cap at maybe 5%, 6%.
At some point, Herschel's going to benefit from a growing, cascading red wave.
Is that right?
I believe so, but you know, we can't just, we can't just think it's going to happen.
Like we have to turn out.
And so everywhere I go and speak in my district and anywhere in Georgia, I say the race is not over until November 9th.
We have to make sure that we turn out at the polls.
And early voting started today, Charlie.
Early voting started today here in Georgia.
And so I'm encouraging everyone to get out and go vote now, get it done this week.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Okay, so tell us why, because some of our audience doesn't agree with that.
They say, show up on Election Day.
Sorry to interrupt you, but tell us why.
Because I just want everyone to vote.
And you can vote in person starting today.
Early voting, you can vote in person.
I think in-person voting is the best.
I'm not a big fan of the absentee ballots, but you know what?
If that's the only way some people can vote, I want them to vote.
And I'm trying to tell every single person that voting is the most important thing that we can do going into November 8th.
And if you are a day of Election Day voter, I love it.
I support that too.
I'm just supporting everyone voting, period.
Well, no, I'm right there with you.
We did a whole hour on this, and I have to say, our audience was very receptive of it.
We had a couple cantankerous people emailing us.
But again, I'm an election day guy.
I'm going to wait in line.
I'll wait an hour.
I'll wait two hours.
But, you know, if you're just, if you have a, you know, if you have a job, you have a big family, it's better to vote in person.
But what you're saying is don't just throw a ballot into the mail, right?
If you're going to vote early, go vote early in person.
Is that correct?
Yes, absolutely.
If you, if you have a busy schedule, you know, not everyone can wait hours in line.
Some people have kids and they're just not able to do it.
Some people have other commitments possibly that day.
So early voting is great because it's available for several weeks leading into November 8th.
And so I just encourage people to vote whenever they can and just get the job done.
That's our responsibility.
Go and vote and get the job done.
It's so important, especially here in Georgia, that it is night and day difference between Stacey Abrams and her communist policies versus Governor Kemp and his policies.
And I'm always grateful to Governor Kemp because he did keep our state open, Charlie.
And that can't be said enough.
It was so important for us here in Georgia, especially me being a business owner and knowing some.
No, no, no, I'm not a Kemp guy.
Kemp pissed me off.
Excuse my language.
He's not a good person, but he's better than Stacey Abrams.
But I appreciate the sentiment.
I do think you should vote for Kemp, but he's not a good person.
I'm going to play another piece of tape here.
Let's play CUT 22.
First and foremost, I swore an oath to the Constitution, and I represent the citizens of the United States of America, not DACA recipients.
And I.
Oh, we lost the tape.
Anyway, it goes on to say that Joe Biden is the best business partner the Mexican drug cartels ever had.
Tell us about it.
Well, Joe Biden is the best business partner the Mexican cartels have ever had.
He is enabling them and helping them smuggle drugs into our country.
Also, human trafficking is who even knows the numbers.
We don't know the numbers.
But with fentanyl killing 300 people a day, that's unreal.
It's the number one cause of death for young people ages 18 to 45.
Charlie, Joe Biden is helping the Mexican cartels do their business.
And they, I believe this year, it's said to be that they made around something like $13 billion, $13 billion.
And that's what Joe Biden is doing.
You know, it's really interesting.
Joe Biden loves to do business in foreign countries, and yet he hasn't been to the border at all.
And he's the president of the United States of America.
What an outrage.
And the guy asked me, that was Josh Rowe.
He asked me the question about DACA recipients in my district.
And he named one particular city, Dalton, which is in Whitfield County, where we have most of the largest carpet and flooring manufacturers in the world are located there.
And he was trying to tell me that many of the employees at these big manufacturing companies are DACA recipients.
And he was saying that if we repeal DACA and deport these people, that these companies would go out of business.
That's what he was trying to tell me, that they would go out of business and not have workers anymore.
And I completely disagreed with him.
And I started off by telling him, you know, I swore an oath to the Constitution and I serve the citizens of our country, not DACA recipients or illegal aliens.
Exactly right.
Yes, of course.
Yes.
And why are we deindustrializing ourselves to foreign labor?
That's not who you swore an oath to.
You have an oath to American citizens in your district.
I would imagine that a popular position, right?
Absolutely.
And Charlie, I went on to explain, you know, we have trade schools in my district.
You know, there's so many kids that are going off and taking on major loans, going to college, wasting four or more years of their life to get a useless degree from colleges and universities that are major profit centers that also receive federal funds that are taxpayer dollars.
And these kids graduate from college.
I'm sorry, young adults graduate from college with a useless degree and they can get a job making $40,000 a year.
But yet trade schools, I'll give you an example.
Southeastern Lineman School in Dade County is one of the greatest schools.
I love it.
They train kids within nine, either nine weeks or 16 weeks.
Once they finish up, they are a certified electrician.
They are a certified commercial truck driver.
They walk out of that school with multiple job opportunities, starting around $80,000 a year.
And linemen working overtime, like the great linemen that just helped out in Florida after the terrible hurricane that just recently took so many lives and caused so much devastation, working overtime in emergency situations like that, they make over $100,000 a year.
Think about that.
That is a six-figure salary with nine or 16 weeks of education.
Trade schools are wonderful.
So what I answered in my question was, is no, we are not going to lose all these workers if DACA is repealed.
These companies are not going to go out of business because we have to do a better job with our policies, Charlie, so that young people after high school enter into job training and they get jobs instead of going to woke universities where their mind and souls get completely ruined.
And so that's where my heart is at, Charlie.
You know, my kids are age 19, 23, and 24.
And it's that generation. that I really care about.
And they're being robbed of opportunities and being sold lies, basically, saying, here's how you be successful is you have to go to college and you have to get this four-year degree from some expensive university that you finish up with massive student loans.
That is the wrong thing to tell our kids and how to start their adult lives.
And I'm completely against it.
But I love the trade schools and working is one of the greatest things you can do, not partying away your late teens, early 20s.

Really quick, like 10 seconds.
The press secretary said Donald Trump's an anti-Semite.
Your take?
15 seconds.
You know who's the anti-Semites?
The Democrat Party.
I mean, honestly, look at that.
They have called us Nazis.
They've called him Hitler.
And they have members of Congress that I serve with that support Hamas attacking Israel.
And they support all these policies that are just bad for everyone.
So they need to stop their name calling.
