Chapter 1: What is the main issue with Harvard discussed in this episode?
Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show, everyone. I'm Alexander Marlowe, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News and host of The Alex Marlowe Show, filling in for Charlie while he's got a travel day. And I start the show with a nine-minute beatdown on Harvard, where I explain exactly why Trump is banning foreign students from Harvard. I think it's pretty good stuff.
Then we talk a little maha before Mike Benz joins us, the great Mike Benz. First, he explains why Harvard is actually undermining our national security, thus justifying the crackdown by Trump. And then he tells me the one big thing Republicans must cut in the big, beautiful bill. Buckle up, everybody, because here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here.

Morning, everyone. Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. My name's Alexander Marlowe, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News. In for my friend, Charlie. Many of you who don't know our history together, Charlie was just a young whippersnapper in high school. He emailed us at Breitbart News an idea for a story, and we gave him the revolutionary idea of actually writing it up himself.

Chapter 2: How is Harvard undermining national security?
Harvard's freshman class this year are foreign. They're foreigners here on student visas. What happens? Where do they go now? What do they do?
So 27% of their students are foreign students, and they will have to find some other university to go to. And hopefully they find one that cares about them and provides a safe environment.
Exactly. They're going to have to find a new place to go because this is a national security issue. And the first question that comes to mind, is Donald Trump actually allowed to do this? And the bottom line is he is. It is allowed. The president has broad control over immigration status. The executive branch does. It's virtually unchallenged authority when it comes to visas.
So all it takes is for Secretary of State Marco Rubio to say we're canceling them, and that's it. But what Trump is announcing they're going to do is you cannot stay here. And this is all about cracking down on the DEI, the wokeness, the discrimination, the lack of free speech, but in particular China. And I want to bring this point up because this is so emphatic.
I think so much of what Trump has done in the beginning of his administration, has been about targeting China, be it the tariffs, be it trying to broker peace and new deals around the world, being trying to reshore American manufacturing. A lot of this has to do with countering China. Take Greenland. Charlie went over to Greenland. Why do we want Greenland?
Because China's encroaching into the Arctic. And we want to be able to counter them with a bigger military presence and defense security presence there. He is trying to keep China out of America's backyard. And he's actually called it out in this instance. Many of you might not know this, but Xi Jinping's daughter went to Harvard. She went about 10 years ago.
And Harvard protected her by allowing her to attend with a pseudonym. So she was getting the Harvard education that we created, an American institution, quintessential. And it was hidden from the public that the leader of our biggest geopolitical rivals was getting educated there. That is outrageous in and of itself. And yet it was never discussed. It's completely new to most people today.
Maybe you're hearing it on this show for the first time. Maybe you're hearing it on another show that you like. But today is the day where a lot of people are going to realize, hey, wait a minute. Why are we Americans with $9 billion in taxpayer funds headed towards Harvard this year? Why are we supporting this type of behavior? It doesn't make any sense.
You're not supposed to be a foreign student who's a foreign adversary to come to America, learn how we do things, and be able to return to your country to be able to take advantage of America. our brainpower, our power, our resources, and then to educate people on how to defeat America on the world stage. That's exactly what Harvard's been a part of for a long time, but not always.
