I want to dive right into it. Joining us right off of the top is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, friend of mine, and we want to get into the news of the day.

87.479 - 108.83 Charlie Kirk

There's a lot that we need to cover, including Pete Hegseth. Pete Hegseth is a friend of both of ours who's under relentless assault, even though recruitment is up and procurement is in the right direction and military exercises are up and war games are up. And the woke stuff is gone. Pete Hegseth, by all objective outside measurements, is succeeding.

108.95 - 129.031 Charlie Kirk

And despite that, he is under merciless assault. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is with us now. Senator, great to see you. Thank you for taking the time. I believe Pete Hegseth is doing a great job. No one liked what happened with the Signalgate situation. To blame that all on Pete is outrageous and wrong. In fact, that is a sloppy and very shallow and politically motivated analysis.

129.392 - 133.819 Charlie Kirk

What's going on with our friend Pete Hegseth? What is the latest? And what are your Senate colleagues saying? Senator, thank you.

Chapter 2: What is Senator Markwayne Mullin's view on Pete Hegseth's leadership at the Pentagon?

1587.891 - 1603.487 Christopher Rufo

This principle of universal standards to say every group needs protection from violence on campus, every group needs protected speech, every group needs to be treated equally and not rewarded or punished based on their racial, ethnic, or religious background.

1604.247 - 1623.716 Christopher Rufo

That is the winning argument, and we have to see anti-Semitism as really just the smallest nesting doll into this fervent anti-Semitic, anti-white, and anti-American hatred. Bring that all together, bring it into a unifying vision that can protect not just American Jews, but people of all backgrounds.

So places like Harvard, Christopher, are the trendy targets, but most people don't go to the Ivies. What are the schools that we should focus on to really send a message that would improve the places that people actually want to go to? Christopher Ruffo.

1687.639 - 1711.24 Christopher Rufo

Well, I think you have to start at the top and then work your way downward. You know, universities are driven to a large part by social status. And so if you can change the social status at the Ivy League University, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, most notably, And then you could start changing the social status at the flagship state universities, Berkeley, Michigan, Texas, et cetera.

1712.181 - 1735.477 Christopher Rufo

You're going to send a very strong message downward that it is no longer safe. It is no longer high status. It is no longer even possible to have discriminatory DEI programs or to have this really anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-American, and often anti-Asian sentiments and policies on campus.

1736.137 - 1755.23 Christopher Rufo

I think that's what you have to do because we need to turn this into a cultural movement, not just a legal campaign. And that's really what we're fighting for. And we have to ground it again in this principle of colorblind equality, treating everyone equally as an individual. That's the frame that we have to deploy.

1755.37 - 1765.046 Christopher Rufo

And that is both the sword and the shield we have to use to defeat the left and the left's really dismal ideology of judging people on the basis of race.
