Chapter 1: What are the key highlights of President Trump's recent interview?
Senator, thank you for your time today. Deeply appreciate it. We'll be watching very closely on what the Senate does. Our audience right now, they are growing impatient because we need to start to see legislative wins, spending cuts, tax cuts, and real reform coming from Congress. There's only so much the president can do.
There's only so much that President Trump can do with signing executive orders. It's time for Congress to act. Thank you, Senator.
I agree. Yep, I agree with you, Charlie.
Thank you, Senator. Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com. Also in President Trump's sit-down interview with Maria Bartiromo, you talked about one of my favorite topics. And if President Trump is even half successful in getting this done, It will be one of his greatest accomplishments. There never should have been a federal, centralized, Washington, D.C.-based Department of Education.
Never should have been. There never should have been a Department of Education that is a bullet bureau controlling what your kids learn, interfering with what education should be. Education, properly understood, is the pursuit of good, true, and beautiful. Teachers should be
allowing kids to grow into what they actually are, not carpenters trying to cut them into something that the administrative state wants. The Prussian-German model of education has failed this country. You see, the German model of education is hyper-centralized, technocratic, we're going to give you nothing but skills. You see, our founding fathers were educated classically.
Our founding fathers were educated classically. With local communities studying the ancient texts, our founders understood their Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Montesquieu. Founding fathers understood the great thinkers that eventually built Western civilization. Education definitionally must be bottom up, not down. Top down.
Many of our founding fathers were even sent abroad to learn at then the greatest universities on the planet. But education then was not what it is today. It was about the Socratic exploration towards truth. Every founding father was classically Christian educated. And boy, did they know their Bible. They knew the roots. They knew the Torah. They knew the story of the Exodus.
They knew Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They knew Romans, and they knew 1 and 2 Corinthians. We can celebrate America, but if we don't understand that how we educated our founding fathers is one of the reasons why we have such a great country, then we're failing. One of the main reasons we like partnering with Hillsdale College. The current top-down model has bloated budgets, too many bureaucrats,

Chapter 2: Why does President Trump want peace in Ukraine?
So, for example, when we say $40 million on improving the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, $520 million on ESG consulting, $47 million on learning outcomes in Asia, President Trump's plan is to send every single person in this audience a $5,000 check. Get the money back in your pocket.
Yeah, that's a bunch of hoopla.
Well, that's the plan. We'll see. You see, the money is actually not a pyramid scheme. It's the largest and most ambitious taxpayer refund plan in the history of the country. That is your average college student. Also, in other news, here in Washington, D.C., the imperial capital, Black Lives Matter Plaza is no more. It is being removed. D.C. to begin reconstructing the Black Lives Matter Plaza.
Crews from the District of the Department of Transportation have begun working on what is currently the BLM Plaza in Washington, D.C. It is gone. In fact, I might go by. It's just a couple blocks from here. I might go by and do a video. A little commemoration. for the end of an era, the end of the awokening of the country, might go by and kind of say hello. It's a two-block long mural.
In fact, there's a bunch of media there. I bet they're going to go try and ask me questions. What, are you a racist? No, I actually don't think that we should have an entire two-block long mural, which, by the way, was painted at the height of Floyd of Palooza. Just a virtue signal outside of the White House. Get rid of it. Right next to the White House. Get rid of it.
