He discusses the brainwashing that is occurring on college campuses and plays some audio straight from a class at Mizzou that backs that narrative. Mark is then joined by Charles Lipson, a Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago that writes regularly for The Spectator Magazine, Real Clear Politics, and others. He discusses the work at Elon Musk and DOGE are doing right now to expose unnecessary government spending and more. He is later joined by Dennis Kneale, a former FOX Business and CNBC Anchor and the current Host of the "What's Bugging Me" podcast. They discuss his new book titled, "The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk" and more.
