Charlie Kirk on Trump's Plan to Dismantle the Department of Education and Restore Local Control

[00:00] in president Trump's sitdown interview

[00:02] with Maria bromo he talked about one of

[00:05] my favorite topics and if president

[00:08] Trump is even half

[00:10] successful in getting this done it will

[00:13] be one of his greatest

[00:15] accomplishments there never should have

[00:17] been a federal centralized Washington DC

[00:22] based Department of

[00:26] Education never should have been there

[00:29] never should have been a Department of

[00:31] Education that is a pullet Bureau

[00:35] controlling what your kids learn

[00:38] interfering with what education should

[00:40] be education properly understood is the

[00:43] pursuit of good true and

[00:46] beautiful teachers should

[00:49] be gardeners allowing kids to grow into

[00:52] what they actually are not Carpenters

[00:54] trying to cut them into something that

[00:56] the administrative State wants the

[00:58] Prussian German model of education has

[01:02] failed this country you see the German

[01:04] model of education is hyper centralized

[01:06] technocratic we're going to give you

[01:08] nothing but skills you see our founding

[01:10] fathers were educated classically our

[01:14] founding fathers were

[01:16] educated with local communities studying

[01:19] the ancient texts our Founders

[01:21] understood their Aristotle Socrates

[01:23] Plato

[01:26] montue founding fathers understood the

[01:29] Great

[01:31] thinkers that eventually built Western

[01:33] Civilization education definitionally

[01:36] must be bottom up not top down many of

[01:41] our founding fathers were even set AB

[01:43] sent abroad to learn at then the

[01:45] greatest universities on the planet but

[01:47] education then was not what it was it is

[01:49] today it was about the socratic

[01:53] exploration towards truth every founding

[01:56] father was classically Christian

[01:58] educated and boy today know their Bible

[02:01] they knew the roots they knew the Torah

[02:03] they knew the story of The Exodus they

[02:04] knew Matthew Mark Luke and John they

[02:07] knew Romans and they knew first and 2

[02:09] Corinthians we can celebrate America but

[02:13] if we don't understand that how we

[02:17] educated our founding fathers is one of

[02:18] the reasons why we have such a great

[02:21] country then we are we're failing one of

[02:24] the main reasons we like partnering with

[02:25] Hillsdale College the current top-down

[02:28] model has bloated budgets

[02:30] too many bureaucrats Dr Larry AR from

[02:33] Hillsdale came on our show and gave us a

[02:34] breathtaking number there are about 11

[02:37] million people that work in education in

[02:40] this country about 7 and a half million

[02:43] of the 11 million are not even teachers

[02:45] they're paper pushers administrative

[02:47] bureaucrats they are the

[02:51] bloat this is President Trump continuing

[02:55] calling for the dismantling the

[02:58] destruction and the end of the

[03:00] pernicious Department of Education play

[03:32] investments.com don't let the next

[03:35] correction catch you off guard Noble

[03:37] gold investments.com

[03:40] can you tell us anything about the

[03:42] education department that you're going

[03:44] to uh dismantle we are we want to bring

[03:47] the schools back to the States because

[03:50] we have the worst literally we have the

[03:52] worst education department and education

[03:55] in the world we're ranked at the bottom

[03:57] of the list and yet we're number one

[03:58] when it comes to cost per pupil we want

[04:01] to not only have school choice which is

[04:04] important but we want to bring it back

[04:06] to the stat so the states can run the

[04:08] schools and they will be every bit as

[04:10] good as the top educational departments

[04:13] anywhere in the

[04:15] world this means more money for States

[04:18] but just look at this

[04:19] empirically the more we have gotten away

[04:22] from a parent-based family-based

[04:24] citizen-based student-based learning

[04:27] model the more that our standards have

[04:30] decreased the standards of American

[04:33] Education are

[04:37] lackluster we are like 27th in the

[04:40] industrialized World there is a it's a

[04:43] true story can you guys resend that

[04:46] story that I thought was a parody

[04:48] there's a young

[04:50] woman who got honors from her high

[04:53] school I think I'm getting this right

[04:56] she was part of the Honor Society and

[04:58] she could not read or write so she's

[05:00] suing her

[05:02] school it's a it's a real

[05:04] story she's suing her

[05:07] school because they gave her honors but

[05:11] she cannot read or

[05:13] write you go to almost this is it she

[05:17] graduated high school with honors it's a

[05:20] true story CNN.com she graduated high

[05:23] school with honors but she can't read or

[05:26] right now she's suing

[05:30] that is the Department of Education she

[05:32] cannot read or write but she's an honor

[05:36] student the product of the Department of

[05:40] Education what we are getting out

[05:46] is not just the lowering of

[05:52] Standards but it is the downfall of our

[05:54] great nation it's it's a true it's a CNN

[05:56] story Alicia Ortiz is 19 years old fresh

[05:59] at the University of Connecticut and she

[06:01] can't read or right she was accepted

[06:03] into the University of Connecticut

[06:04] without being able to read or right Ju

[06:06] Just Another little addendum on the

[06:10] education problem in this

[06:14] country the more that we centralize

[06:17] anything that should be personal the

[06:19] quality will

[06:23] decrease the federal government has no

[06:26] role in the education of our children

[06:30] and if you believe it does then you are

[06:32] a

[06:35] statist this isn't this is a young man

[06:37] who's in college let's play this year

[06:38] from our campus tour this is a young man

[06:40] as long there's no swear words in

[06:42] this this is your average college

[06:46] student I believe let me see here what

[06:48] shirt am I wearing the University of

[06:51] Florida and I'm not here to knock on

[06:52] University of Florida but some people in

[06:54] this audience think it's a good

[06:56] school not only is this guy not very

[07:00] wise or smart the more important clip is

[07:02] the

[07:04] professor

[07:07] who doesn't even know very basic

[07:09] information about Winston Churchill even

[07:11] though he was a World War I Professor

[07:12] let's play Cut

[07:13] 36 so my real thing is how is Doge not a

[07:18] pyramid scheme when it's essentially

[07:21] being a department that is being hiring

[07:23] federal workers to take money away from

[07:25] other federal workers which is thus

[07:27] creating a strain on the Social Security

[07:30] you do know the workers for Doge are

[07:32] working for free right no they're not

[07:35] yeah they are okay they're all

[07:37] volunteers okay bid all right and and do

[07:39] you know do you know about the Doge

[07:41] dividend yeah you can you can tell the

[07:43] crowd though you're more wel tell me

[07:45] about the Doge

[07:46] dividend I'm waiting for you to finish

[07:48] your part

[07:50] sir so so for example when uh when we

[07:54] say 40 million bucks on improving the

[07:57] social and economic inclusion of

[07:58] sedentary migrants $520 million on ESG

[08:02] Consulting $47 million on learning

[08:04] outcomes in Asia president Trump's plan

[08:07] is to send every single person in this

[08:09] audience a $5,000 check get the money

[08:12] back in your pocket yeah that's a bunch

[08:13] of

[08:14] hoopla well that's the plan we'll see

[08:16] you see the money is actually not a PID

[08:19] scheme it's the largest and most

[08:21] ambitious taxpayer refund plan in the

[08:24] history of the

[08:27] country that is your average college

[08:30] student also in other news here in

[08:33] Washington DC the imperial capital black

[08:36] lives matter Plaza is no more it is

[08:39] being removed DC to begin

[08:42] reconstructing the black lives matter

[08:45] Plaza Crews from the District of the

[08:46] Department of Transportation have begun

[08:48] working on what is currently the BLM

[08:50] Plaza in Washington DC it is gone in

[08:53] fact I might go by it's just a couple

[08:55] blocks from here I might go by and do a

[08:57] a video little

[08:59] commemoration for the end of an era the

[09:02] end of the awokening of the country

[09:05] might go by

[09:07] and kind of say hello it's a two block

[09:10] long mural in fact there's a bunch of

[09:12] media there I bet they're going to go

[09:13] try and ask me questions what are you a

[09:14] racist no I actually don't think that we

[09:17] should have an entire two block long

[09:19] mural which by the way was painted at

[09:21] the height of Floyd of

[09:23] palooza just a virtue signal outside of

[09:25] the White House get rid of it right next

[09:27] to the white get rid of it
