Greg Gutfeld’s latest short clip on Fox’s channels lays out a blunt warning for hardworking Americans: what the left calls “education” too often looks a lot like systematic indoctrination. He tells viewers that the problem isn’t a single angry speech or one-off headline; it’s an atmosphere cultivated over years by universities, media elites, and entertainment conglomerates. This is the same point he’s made on air repeatedly, and Fox has been running clips of him calling out that long-game influence for months.
Gutfeld insists that “brainwashing” isn’t instantaneous — it’s a slow infection of language and culture that primes people to accept extreme ideas without critical thought. He argued on The Five that you don’t get radicalized overnight by one story; you get radicalized after months or years of targeted rhetoric and constant repetition. That distinction matters because the left’s media class loves to point a finger at one opponent while ignoring the years of conditioning their institutions create.
He’s relentless in naming the places this conditioning takes root: classrooms that trade rigor for grievance, Hollywood that recasts patriotism as toxic, and corporations that adopt progressive jargon as policy. Gutfeld’s criticism is not vague conservatism — he calls out specific cultural engines that normalize a victimhood mindset and punish dissent. Americans who work for a living know instinctively that kids raised on resentment don’t become builders and innovators; they become perpetual complainers.
What really sets the clip apart is the unapologetic call-out of media hypocrisy: the same people who invented the “brainwashing” scare about conservatives are the ones manufacturing it in their own institutions. Gutfeld notes the absurdity of elites lecturing about “deprogramming” while they’ve spent decades programming entire generations with identity grievance. If anyone doubts the double standard, watch how the outrage machine targets dissenting parents while treating institutional indoctrination as neutral pedagogy.
This isn’t just beltway bluster; it’s a political challenge conservatives must meet head-on by reclaiming schools, demanding transparency from entertainment boards, and supporting parents who refuse to let ideology replace common sense. Gutfeld’s message resonates because ordinary Americans are tired of seeing their values derided and their children lectured into learned helplessness. Real change starts when citizens stop whispering and start showing up at school boards, town halls, and the ballot box.
In the end, Gutfeld boils the debate down to one simple truth: a free country depends on a population that thinks freely, not one that has been trained to accept grievance as gospel. Conservatives should be proud to push back hard, defend free speech, and insist that education teach critical thinking rather than catechism. The elites can keep calling it “brainwashing” when it suits them, but Americans who love this country will keep calling out the machines that try to turn our children into political projects.
