| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, happy Saturday. What a week it has been with Virginia and New Jersey all across the |
| 0:06.5 | country. And this Saturday, we want to bring you a partnership. Actually, it's a perfect word to use |
| 0:11.8 | because the word college actually comes from the word partnership with our college that we love here |
| 0:18.8 | on the Charlie Kirk Show. Hillsdale College, the beacon of the north, the place where real learning gets done. |
| 0:27.4 | We have the president of Hillsdale College, Dr. Larry Arne, the last college you could call Hillsdale College, where they talk about Christianity, faith, theology, liberty, truth, America. |

| 1:41.6 | with Hillsdale College, Charlie for Hillsdale.com, for you to be able to |
