Hi, I'm good. How are you? I'm doing great. Good. My name's Mackenzie. It's so awesome to meet you. I think you're awesome. I just wanted to ask, since college is a scam, what should we do if we have to go to school to get a degree? I want to be a social worker, so I need a degree. How can I make the best of my experience here if I'm getting scammed?

Chapter 2: Why is college considered more liberal?
Well, you're already doing it. I mean, look, just so everyone understands my perspective. If you have to go to college, you know, go to the least expensive option available and get through as quickly as possible. But my opinion is that they're not just my opinion. The data shows there's millions of jobs that are open that don't require a college degree.
Chapter 3: How can students navigate a liberal college environment?
We need more plumbers, electricians, welders. I think we need more people that are entrepreneurs and less people just with college degrees. But look, you're all in college. You're all kind of part of this institution. Just understand that half of you guys, when you graduate college, if you get a job, will get a job that doesn't require a college degree.
So half of people that go to college end up not even using the college degree. But as a social worker, honestly, my biggest advice for you is that hold on to your conservative principles even when you go into social work. Social work is super, super left-wing, as you well know. You're probably learning it throughout.
And the reason being is this, is that when you're in social work, you are engrossed and surrounded by very sad stories, people that need help, people that need compassion. And automatically you think, well, we need a bigger government to help those people. Well, we as conservatives have a completely different perspective, that maybe instead of big government, we need big families.
And maybe instead of the government being strengthened, we need more dads in the home. And instead of growing the size of the state... We need more people to go to church and to believe in the divine and respect of the individual and the dignity of every human being. So we – that's correct. Jesus is Lord. You're right.
And so we share – we can share with a lot of social workers or in social work the need to help people that have less. In fact, we as Christians are called to do that. But we believe that permanent government assistance and programs is the wrong way to do that. Are you finding in social work it's a little bit left-leaning or you're –
Well, I'm not there yet. Oh, you will be. Yeah. But I do, you know, I want to go to social work. I want to, like, help foster kids. The pro-life movement is something that's really important to me. So I want to do, like, what I can to help the foster system and, yeah, just, you know, make the future anti-abortion.
God bless you.

Chapter 4: What are the arguments against the need for a border wall?
Thank you. Thank you. Great first question.
Thank you.
Can I get a hat?
Would you like me to sign it? Thank you. God bless you. Yes.
Hey, Charlie. During the 2016 Republican primary, when Trump got booed on stage, he famously said that's all his donors and special interests. And the only reason that they're not loving him was because he doesn't want their money, but rather wanted to do what's best for the American people.
He also tweeted out in 2015, Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet. I agree. In 2024, not only has Trump appointed little Marco as his secretary of state, but has also accepted $100 million in political contributions from the widow of the very same donor who he called out in 2015. Miriam Adelson. Miriam Adelson.
If the foundation of MAGA was to be a raw, authentic movement in the face of overwhelming establishment corruption, why did Trump accept hundreds of millions of dollars in political contributions from mega donors?
Well, you have to finance your campaign somehow, right?
And we won. In 2015, he financed it himself. He was self-funded.

Chapter 5: How does Charlie Kirk view Trump's administration changes?
To some extent, yeah. Okay. To what extent are you not happy he won? I think he doesn't represent the same thing that he represented in 2015. Tell me why. In 2015, he represented a political outsider. He was not the establishment. He was a stark contrast from the establishment. He was opposing Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, the Bushes.
So in practice, how is Trump not governing as an outsider? He literally just fired 300,000 people in the last month. He got rid of USAID. He's ending the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Of course.
Border crossings are down 95%. I mean, House is not an outsider.
Of course he's an outsider from the previous administration, the Biden administration. But he's not really the same Trump that he was in 2015. I think he's better. He's better?
Yeah.
Really?
I mean, but let's go through the list. Think about it. I mean, in every single element, the first term, he didn't get rid of USAID. First term, he didn't say he wanted to get rid of their private education. The first term, he did not say we're going to have the largest deportation effort ever of which we are doing.
I mean, we're actually seeing new and improved promises and fulfillment of the original Trump agenda.

Chapter 6: Is college education necessary for all careers?
He said the largest deportation force ever. in the history of America, of which we're seeing right now. Child rapists, child sex traffickers, and predators are being deported on a daily basis. And yes, by the way, the wall is being built. The biggest reason the wall was ever put into question was because of federal judges that were blocking the construction of the wall.
So he had to get more creative. You know what he's done in this term they didn't do the first term? He's mobilized the military to actually run the southern border, and he has designated the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations with use of lethal force actions against them.
So it feels if you're trying to find complaints against him, I'm trying to understand where you're coming from, because this Trump 2.0 is 100 times better than the first Trump term.

Well, it just seems like he's a different Trump than the Trump in 2020.
Okay, so, but use evidence, not emotions. Right. So what evidence do you have? Not like it feels, it seems, like, what evidence do you have?
My evidence is that, my original question, he took hundreds of millions of dollars and he didn't build the wall.
