Dr. Larry Arnn from Hillsdale College, discusses the importance of academic independence and the controversy surrounding federal funding for universities like Harvard. Dr. Arnn emphasizes Hillsdale's commitment to not taking federal dollars to maintain educational freedom and criticizes institutions that rely heavily on government funding while engaging in discriminatory practices.

The conversation shifts to the cultural shift in higher education, highlighting the growing popularity of Southeastern Conference (SEC) schools and other southern state universities among students from traditionally liberal areas like New York and LA. Clay and Buck discuss how these schools have become desirable due to their stance against anti-Semitic protests and their commitment to academic integrity.

Dr. Arnn delves into the intellectual roots of modern progressivism, explaining how historical materialist doctrines have influenced current educational practices and the push for radical changes in family and societal norms. He critiques the lack of objective knowledge in these ideologies and stresses the importance of classical education in understanding and evaluating the world.
