Just because a government department has "education" in its name doesn't mean it helps kids learn. That's the core takeaway from this conversation between Charlie and the president of America's greatest college, Dr. Larry Arnn of Hillsdale. Dr. Arnn explains why education can never be forced, only enabled, why education isn't in the Constitution, why Winston Churchill's critics are mistaken, and more.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, thank you, and I take learning seriously. Hillsdale College, I say every day on this program, it is America's greatest college.
Yeah, well, it could almost be damning with faint praise. But it is very good, and it has a very powerful sense of itself. It knows what it is for 180 years, and everybody there is committed to that. That's why it's great.
It's great for many reasons, also thanks to your leadership. But speak about the – is it the bylaws or the constitution of the college is rather short. It's not a big administrative document.

Chapter 2: What makes Hillsdale College's approach to education unique?
Excellent.
And see, that's straight out of Karl Popper. See, attachment to freedom causes war and Nazism. And apparently that's all she knows. She didn't read a book and find out whether that's actually true or not. And that... How did I learn that? I read some really good – I haven't read Karl Popper. My education is incomplete or maybe it's more complete. I think it's more complete.
But I read a long article by a highly intelligent man about him the other day and I said, oh, yeah, I see. That's what – and see, Soros, that's what he's doing to our country. He's going to undermine our attachments. And that means the worst thing in the world is for somebody to get elected president on the ground that he's going to work on his country first. See?
Because we're not supposed to have a country. Because then we'll have wars. But the purpose of the country, by the way, is to protect us.
A lot of the next generation is drowning in student loan debt, and you guys very well might be one of them. If you have private student loan debt, listen carefully. YREFI is not a debt settlement organization or company, but they work with each borrower individually, tailoring each loan to each specific situation. Private student loan debt in the U.S. has totaled over $300 billion.
About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed. YREFI refinances distressed or even defaulted private student loans that others won't dare to touch. Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore? Do you want to be unburdened by what has been? If you are a student loan borrower, go to YRefi.com.

So I want to ask just briefly the unexpected development of Doge empowered by President Trump to go after the administrative state. In your career, you've been talking about the administrative state, deep state, shadow government, whatever you want to call it, for 50 years. That's right.
Have we ever seen anything like this, this Doge thing?
It's – I can't think of a single thing, movement in politics that I have seen that is as important or skillful. And it even, the skillful part, I mean, first of all, to make it the center, you know, Donald Trump, you know, first of all, I met Donald Trump for the first time in early 2015. Astonished myself by deciding to take him seriously. Right.
